Club, Texas, about five minutes away from you, Dan. Happy to be here. Height and wait? Oh, 511, 162 on a good day. You ever been on dating sites? Never, never. Before my time. Do you want to?

Sure, sure. Would you put six foot if you go on a dating site? No doubt. They always say that anybody listed as six foot is 511 on a dating site. The problem is, is the 511 guy already, 59, 510, and he's like, I guess it's 5-11. Yeah, okay. So then if you put six...

So you're saying if we put a... I don't know. Before my time as well. Anyway, you're here, not just on your own, but because you went to Community Mechanical? I sure did. Our HVAC company? I sure did.

Travis hooked me up with a nice air conditioner and spent some time at our house, diagnosing a lot of problems. and you did a great job. Their install team did a tremendous job as well. They were in and out in about three hours. Look at this dude doing a live spot. I tell you, log it.

So if you get an air conditioning system from community mechanical, they will give you a sit-in. They will award you the ability to sit-in and watch the show and just experience all that is. Yeah CommunityDFW.com Either the Dragon Den or our studio downtown

He's a great dude He is a big son bitch He is a big old boy He probably has to lie lower Definitely Like all right You don't want a guy this tall Sometimes I play on the wing

Have we ever Have we set up the battle Oh no that's tomorrow Tomorrow We're gonna be a Waterburger tomorrow Get your breakfast burger Watch a wrestling match And we're gonna watch

Travis versus Nathan Let the construction guy Arm wrestle the air for the burger. Well, cool, man. Glad you're here, Jeff. Glad that Cummian Mechanical has sent you here. He's got a cool job that I want to hear more about in closing remarks.

It's pretty fun. Well, fast forward to that, then. You are in control. You can't. Got to watch a lot of baseball, though. I got something pretty big here, but I... A lot of games. He does.

I want to just mention one thing, and it occurred to me right at the end of yesterday's program. And I was about to tell you guys, and I thought, you know what, I'm going to type it on the sheet, tell him on the air. Because I feel like I'm becoming a better person, and a lot of that is Jake's influence on me. But I want to let you know that I'm still a bad person. And I think that'll make you feel better about our friendship. Because you don't, like, if I started texting you on your birthday and you'd be like, whoa, what's going on here? What's, this guy's not, that's not him. Something's up.

No, yeah, the haircut lady asked me this morning, how's Dan? And I was like, hey, you should stop asking me that. Because I don't know. No, I was like Dan's Dan. He's Dan today. He's Dan tomorrow. He's Dan yesterday. So don't ask.

But after yesterday's show, we were playing the Brian Schottenheimer audio, and he was talking about the emotional moment that he had with. Perry on Winfrey. Telling Perry on Winfrey that he has made the team. And oh, my gosh. And he's certainly a bubble guy. Why did that make me want them to find somebody on the waiver wire and cut Perry on Winfrey yesterday? Yeah, you're a bad guy.

Wouldn't that be fun? It would be, I mean, listen, guys get hurt, things happen. It's going to happen anyways. Why not make it funny for you, I guess, ruin this guy's the best moment of his life. No, but I'm with you. I mean, there was a small part of me that was hoping Cooper. Cooper Flag would break his leg in training camp. Oh.

Then we'd see, is that part of the process here? Well, yeah, I mean, because everything that happens, Nico's like, that was the plan. Now you see the vision. I wanted him to break his leg. So take a medical red shirt, Greg Oden's style, and I don't figure it out. But I actually don't want that. I don't wish ill upon him and his body, but I want him to suck. I don't like that.

Why? He's going to have millions of dollars anyway, even if he sucks. I just don't like bad basketball. I don't like being a rat. It's just boring. That's, you know, that's what this team's going to be. But I can't have him be good, or just the team be good. I don't think the team will be good.

Anyway, on today's program, we will have table talk for picks. We're going to do football picks again this year. Totally different, totally different format. And we will discuss that at noon with the people we will be picking against. all new for 2025. This is a first in our trickle out of the upfronts, which are coming next Tuesday. We will be announcing a lot of things for the fall schedule.

Very excited. A lot of big things happening on Tuesday. Mark your call on. What? I just save the syllable. Some people try to do Cal and that doesn't work either because I think that's typically calories, but you're just going to have to go with calendar.

Did I tell you guys about Imps? Not on the air Not on the air It doesn't You know It's an industry term I guess But somebody who works

For one of the agencies We work with Was like hey Checking in Need last week's imps For impressions I don't know about the emps I don't know if I can do imps

Well look out for it Because I can But dude You won't believe this So yesterday Oh wait Do we have something else Today too or no

News today in history Okay, I didn't know if we had Viewer Mail's big today I got a hot-ass That's the other thing I wanted to promote Yeah, viewer mail is coming up later today Maybe my favorite segment on the show Fight me

Viewer Mail is your favorite segment Our listeners rule Okay Tiss-ass I felt like the second I said it So Someone told me About a podcast

And I'm like what do you know way and yeah it's true and I went and listened to this podcast and I can't even believe it I actually just started to listen to it and I thought I got to stop I'm going to stop here and I'm just playing it on the show Argyle sports or Blake has a one-on-one back every week you don't know about it but you looked over

are you doing an Argyll sports podcast yeah first episode dropped this morning 2025 but oh what do we have on the docket today Well, we talked to Frisco Lone Star's head coach, talk to the Eagle's head coach, talk to the quarterback at the Eagle update. There's a lot on the slate. That's a big-ass game, bud. It is.

It really is. We got Mike Leslie doing the game. You know it's a big game in town when Mike Leslie's doing the game. Helicopter broadcaster jealousy. Here's Mike Leslie to save the day to give the kids exposure that they wouldn't otherwise get. Okay, so a new podcast there? All right. No, that's not the new podcast, though.

but I am interested in that so go to your podcast players to find that what's it called the eagle up the eagle's nest fuck yeah way better you're the host I'm the host

the interviewer the producer everything yeah dance instantly and anyway I think I was floored by hearing this podcast

and I think I should just play it And then we can, I don't know, I just wanted to jump around, perhaps, because it's, again, should we be promoting other podcasts, knowing that this is competition? I guess that's who we are. That's who we are. Anyway, I couldn't believe this existed. Somebody turned me onto it yesterday, and I'm like, say less. Okay, here we go. Hobo.

Hoopo Hoopo All right, all right, all right, all right, all right I never listen, I want to listen Time to listen to the bum zone All right, all right, all right, all right What? I never listen, I want to listen

I want to listen We're going to listen to the Bonesome Oh, oh, I want to listen to the Bonesome. Oh, oh, oh, we want to listen to the Bum Zone. Welcome back to the Bum Zone. I'm your host, Angelo. What's the F? I'm Stan.

And I'm Billy West. And today, boys, it's a good day. a payday from benefactor Blake Jones number three Yes sir Is this Angelou show? So apparently This homeless guy

that Blake has befriended and who he has been giving money to on a Venmo gift card He actually has his own podcast Well again I only listened to the first three minutes And I wanted you guys to at least hear that They got a studio down at the library I've seen advertising

It has been a good week, but today's a little bit different. Before I was getting $25 a week, which is nice, from number three, on the old roster. But today I'm getting $100 for the month, baby. And he thinks that I don't know that the months sometimes have four and a half weeks, but hey, we're just a little operation we got running on the streets here. A little upfront money only helps us out even more. I mean, that's a down payment. That is a down payment, Billy Wess, you're right. But I've found something even better.

What's that? Better. Turns out old Blake Jones, benefactor number three, has his own little podcast that he must have started probably some time after he met me, probably found out about the bum zone, started his own called the Dumb Zone. Whoa.

What? He copied us. Copied us. Must have. Must have. And what he is done. has gone to his little friends and well he's

thinking he's pulling one over on me talking about me and we got a little recorded audio to listen to him. I'd like to hear what he is. They have our audio? You know who gave this to me. Who's that? Benefactor number one, Grayson. You guys have met Grayson.

He's a good man. He's a good man. He's good people. Why are you nodding? He's told me about Grayson. Oh, Grayson's a real person? Yeah. He's not a hundred dollars a month good, but he's all right. No, but he'll sit down and he'll eat with us. He'll come and see us.

Sometimes maybe you even offer, you know, something a little extra. Yep. If you won't. If you won't. Now, I think that we're open to it, if you will. And some of us are open. Some of us are. We can be.

We can be open for business. It depends. No judgment. Business is the key word. It's a lot of us out here in the streets, okay? And these insiders, if you will, or any's think that they got a little. little, you know, fast-win-on-a-thallies. Do the bums also watch?

Because we run this. Now, if you will, let's listen to what they got to say. It's been a while since we've had an update. I don't know if now is the time for the full update. But I feel like we're employing him. There's several sitcom episodes about this, right? Like hiring homeless people to fulfill your professional obligation. Like, we may be in that spot.

the train doesn't run to frisco i don't think angelo will be there well you don't know why i can get to frisco that sounds like a challenge okay what that's about as far as i listened did you know about this no i did not know angelo had a podcast let's jump around impression impression impression yeah bad impression also but all my buddy but all my buddy what is it on your voice Let's see. Let's see here. Let me jump ahead. Personal liability or something. So last we left, he had lost the card, which was crazy to me because he doesn't have a lot.

So I never lost the card. What happened was, you guys remember Curley? Yeah. So, oh, Curley was desperate one day. I sold him the card when it was empty for $25. dollars, immediately texted Blake that I lost the card. Damn, dude. Curly then was...

You didn't have been railroaded. He's just dancing on you. And what brings him happiness, I thought he would kind of hang on to that, you know? Yeah. What brings me happiness is to keep on just getting this son of a bitch to do whatever I won't. You seem pretty happy right now. I couldn't be happier. So do you know the story, Jeff?

Do you understand the genesis of this? I hope everybody does. But yeah, Blake is, he met a homeless guy named Angelo on the, on the dart one day. I'm just wondering if he's producing for him. Sounds pretty good. Started giving him a $25 a week through a gift card, and then he's upped it now to $100 a month, upped it, 4.3 weeks per month, right? Need less communication.

Yeah, and he keeps Anyway, apparently he has his own pocket Like he's actually a mastermind Yeah And listen, I had a feeling this guy That was more than meets the story If he's actually asking Blake to

Get him an Uber because it's raining Or have his food delivered It felt like he was testing Blake And now we know She's doing bits You're a person who does find yourself homeless Maybe you're not that Yeah

Squared away Yeah And no one used it So it wasn't stolen It is I just I think of myself As No one used it

Because well he was arrested Yeah also Why are we not Squared away Yeah what does he mean Why do I lack four quarters I mean what are we talking about Well they don't realize

Well we ain't got to worry about taxes We ain't got to work To be honest We're off the damn map man I've heard of these HOAs that people like them. All right. Let me jump some piping from Sam's or, you know.

It's like he's playing checkers and you're playing chess. A hundred percent. Because you're always two or three moves ahead. And what's on a chess board and a checkers board? Squares. Damn right. I say you are squared away. I say squared away.

Let's see. Sometimes. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a good. mcnugget you know what can we talk about that you know you're right you must have been listening to you're right when you were talking about hell you buy a mcnuggets

30 piece you notice that in the nuggets the dark meat went away about 10 years ago boy they've got takes I did notice what the fuck is that the dark meat nuggets were the best part of the whole damn deal well I think that

racism it's got to be 100% is that true Clayton about this nugget color meat? No, they were just trying to get healthier. Oh, so they did.

They did go away with dark meat. Yeah. Okay, so that is true. And really close to home, it sounds like. You're not pleased by this development. All right, let's just, it's an hour long.

Let me just jump to a couple other things. And he let me in to, he's got some other friends. Dude, you drop the bomb on. He on a roster. Hold on. Need sugar, daddy. See?

His other friends are Jordan and Grayson, who will buy him food. I mean, what the hell else? What? Yeah. Does he not know what benefactor means? Listen to this savior complex. This guy's got. No doubt.

Dude, that's all it is. $25 a week and be his little fucking game. That's what he gets for reading that holiest of Bibles. He thinks he's old. Hey, Seuss. I'm not his only benefactor. That is so tough.

He's got two others. This is where his world gets a little crumbled. Really, I guess I know why. It's just like a lady. Like, yeah, I mean, I'll work and hang out. I got other guys or whatever. Yeah, he said, kind of just said, like,

oh, I'd love you to meet them. Dude, he's going to cut you. Great. Great. But I was a little floored that you have other money coming in. Again, What does he think we do out here all day? What does he think I'd do for a living?

I've got $25. Guess I'm done. You do have a savior complex. I'm aware of it. A couple more. We can at least get through one month without you breaking. That you won't put any money in until August 7th. Not a chance.

Ain't going to happen. Hell no. We're going to get this some bitch breaks so hard. We're going to get them to break that old levy like it wasn't Noah. That's right. Book of Noah. Let's do a pool on when this $100 runs out. Another taking bets.

Yeah, that's a good one. You would do pool over under? I'm going to give him. Yeah, give me an over-under date. Well, the over-under seemingly would be half the month, right? Yeah. And saying basically he'd spent double. So what if we do this?

What if we bet, oh, Blake, $100 on top of the $100 that we can make? So you're just looking for more ways to get you. And these guys are businessmen. All right, one more spot. I used to live here. Which we should mention, by the way, we are podcasting from the Norm Hitchkis Austin Street Center. A lot of money went into that. Now we do have to pay a little bit of a fee to be here because Norm don't do anything for free.

That's why we got sponsors. That's why we got sponsors. I want to thank our new sponsor card board box. man they deliver every time every time every time and you can use that cardboard box to live in you can use it to ride on and you can use it sometimes if you want to leave an excrement if you're done with the box you know you can just cover it up with part of the box you can poop in the box and leave it at somebody's doorstep and they think they got a package also they want to remind everybody that they're now putting the boxes out in a variety of fabulous colors

like brown, light brown, and dark brown. Man, they are never stopping innovating at cardboard box. I mean, they're... All right. I think we've heard enough. Bravo. It's just the new number one on my playlist. Actually, so I was surprised to see, as my story changes here,

I actually had heard that before. So I was surprised to hear that it was the Norm Hitchkis Center, so I did kind of some digging. And it turns out, like, if you go to thebumzone.com, like, they actually have a website. This is where they post the podcast. Shut up. So. The graphic is incredible.

So, yeah. Just several fingerless gloved hands reaching towards the Venmo gift card. Here's a link to cardboard box. If you want to hear the whole album. Or it is available for you at thebumzone.com. But what an incredible development. Really like the take on our open that they did, kind of a strip-down, grittier, on-house version.

Or did we do that on their open? Oh, it's a great point. Did we upgrade their open? Sure. I don't know where Caitlin came up with that. Incredible work. Wow. Really incredible work.

I'm glad to see Angelo's doing well. Now, you know what? If you have a cardboard box as your home. Uh-huh. And you wanted to see outside, you would probably have to, like, cut a hole in it. But what if you were able to install a window, who would you get a hold of? For me, the answer is easy. It's Window Nation, Dan.

You contact them at 86690 Nation or Window Nation.com. And what are you going to find when you go to those? various portals of communication great deals right now 50% off went all window styles but here's the big the big cahuna zero down zero payment zero interest for two years so you pay nothing until twenty twenty seven they're a partner of the cowboys so you replace all your windows you get a cowboy's jersey a chance to wear a pair of home tickets but really it's about their installation crews coming out to get this thing done at a day or less beautify your home home. We replaced our windows as part of our remodel, and I kind of feel like we could have just stopped there.

It's the biggest upgrade you're going to make in your home. Do it with Window Nation. Have them come out and check things out. Window Nation is at 86690 Nation or Window Nation.com. No payments, no interest. Zero down until 2027. Before we get into our game picking and stuff, we should have hit a couple little things maybe. If we have anything, little. This isn't a full sports segy, but just a, just a sash. Just kick a few things around. The Micah thing, you're right. That happened quick.

Adam Schaefter wasn't overblowing things. I thought he was. I thought he was just trying to get Micah talk going, you know, as ESPN will do. So he actually got on a flight out of town and is heading to get his own MRI. And should we assume that you could just go to, you know, You mentioned a Michael Jackson doctor earlier. Yeah. Do these big-time agencies have their doctors that are like this is the diagnosis you're going to give?

I mean, is there any way that he would go to another source and that other source would say, no, it looks fine? Yeah, it's really weird because it's stipulated in the CBA that you can get this second opinion. But I guess I should have looked up the history of this and how many times it's happened because I have to figure that you're only going to get, you know, like the president, doctor. Like, he's the best health ever. They're going to come back and say, well, a little something, a little cloudy on that MRI, he can't go. Which, again, as Jane Slater drove home this morning, is over a million dollars a week for him. If he's listed as injured or not.

Which also illustrates he's making good money right now. This isn't like he's on the... I know. a great point, though. Yeah, but the DAC deal was he was making, you know, fourth-round quarterback one. 100%. Yeah, so the thing about these top 10 draft picks or whatever is you're kind of set for life. If you're a pretty good player and you get that fifth-year option picked up,

that fifth-year option is going to be big, big money. Life-changing money, set you for life-type money. Now, the problem is that they're in this world of sports, which is fantasy. and the problem that the cowboys made the bet they made is that they don't have any consistency with one contract to the next and it looked like this is the way you handle the cowboys is by threatening them when they think they kind of have a good team and then you can extract them for all their worth and uh oddly enough it wasn't with zeke it's with micah parsons that they're kind of like drawing the line to where,

we do things like this now. Yeah, and I don't, I do think that if you wanted to look for some level of consistent through line, it's that Jerry wants you to bend the knee. And if the further you step out of line from that, the harder he's going to smack you to get back in it. I was thinking watching the documentary, though, in your mind, and I'm not saying you're wrong in your characterization of what Mike has done here and challenging Jerry, do you feel like, do you feel like Emmett was doing the

same thing. Emmett had been in the league for three years, I think, and was still under contract and wasn't up, but he had just won the rushing title. And they had just won the Super Bowl. And so he

wanted to be paid four years $16 million, and I think he was at $4 and 9 maybe, and he held out two games. And he, I went back and watched that again last night. Emmett was not like Dack.

Well, I mean, it's not that because he didn't hold out, but he wasn't like chill about it. He was calling it a case, like he was in court. In an interview, he's like, we will win this case because we are right, and we are just in our position. And talking about it 40 years later, 30 years later, he's like, I was tremendously disrespected by that. I felt hurt, and I'll never forget about it. I think there was also certainly a very different.

But do you think that's challenging Jerry? Like what Mike is doing to me is not that different. Yeah, but Jerry now is different than Jerry his first couple years in the league. Well, for sure, but I mean, they cave to Zeke recently. So it's just this one feels oddly different to me. But then you had Jerry, Jerry was Zeke was, man, I think this is my opportunity to finally show that I can do this without Jimmy type thing. And I'm not going to let this little hold out stop me. I think Jerry now realizes this is not a real Super Bowl team.

He really thought that one was Zika was, and I agree. I think those were some pretty good teams. That DAC rookie year might have been their best chance. I don't know, Micah's rookie year was a pretty good chance, too, or was it a second year? Hey, I mean, I know they played a weak slate, but the 2023 team had a second team all-pro quarterback and was favored. against Green Bay. Yeah, yeah. Against the quarterback who hadn't won anything at that point, and they got trounce.

Was that Micah's second year? No, third. Because he played two against San Francisco and then Green Bay. Yeah, so. I don't know what to make of it, but. I truly think Jerry now is kind of at the, he's round and third heading for home. He's in the basking in my life portion of his life. Let's have this documentary.

It's, you know, glowingly speaking. about me. It's the gambler. I'm this. I'm in TV shows. All right. We've had really good. They've set the narrative now that they've had very good teams that have never really just got over that little hump. Certainly they've had a few teams that were good enough to win the Super Bowl. And I think he's told himself in his mind that that's almost like a Super Bowl. Like we've been really good over the past 20 years. And I'm not going to now, again, it's, it's It's the public, yeah, the bending of the knee, the public whipping that he would take. And publicly right now, he's on a high.

So I don't know. It's very messy. Very messy. I kind of like it, but it's, it's, I feel like this team, this year is going to be a disaster. I feel like with the head coach, the first year head coach, I think it's going to be a difficult time. It's a difficult water to navigate. But there's plenty of reasons there to think that. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not like a head in the sand here.

I just think they have a, they have a chance to be very potent on offense and have a pretty good pass rush. Well, and that's all going to be. It's all on DAC right now. I'll stop saying that. Yes, it is. You have said it. Dack is the coach in my mind. Yeah.

And now he has George Pickens and maybe I'm putting too much into that, but I think it's a big deal. um just while we wait on them just let me know when we have them uh i've told you before that like uh some of these websites i use they try to do uh almost like a war for football so in baseball you can say like a win above replacement let's say it's a four win player and you say well win's worth about seven million dollars so if we paid that guy 15 he produced 28 million in value that's a good deal that's 13 million in value it's like rookie quarterbacks right that's why dack was always like most valuable player in his first four years, according to this stat, because he was make a half a million and he was one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the league. I just want to remind people that, for example,

in 2023, there was no player who was worth more relative to the amount he was paid than Michael Parsons. He was paid $4.2 million that year. His value, as an edge rusher, was $34 million. So that was 23. I can go back and look at 22. But my point is, my guess is, even though he was making $4 million and $5 million, and DAC was making $400,000,000, for those first four years of the deal, Michael was producing roughly $25 to $35 million more in value for his position every year. So I get it. That's how it works. You draft a cheap young player. You hope they pop. and you don't have to pay him a whole lot. But this is how it works.

He's giving you a ton of value. Now you pay him. Or you don't and just get on with it. It seems like they don't really take into account at all, which is odd because they hired Brian Schottenheimer. Chemistry. Having CD at camp last year. Not having this shit in the news all the time.

They don't seem to think there's any negative effect to any of this. I disagree with that. Is that where they're at now, though, with the, well, we are getting on with it. We're not paying them. Yeah, but I would say that you should trade him at that point. Because now that you've pissed him off and you've said, hey, I know everybody else in your range is getting paid, hey, I know you've produced, hey, I know you came to camp. We don't like how this is going.

We want to negotiate with you, not your agent. So we're just going to have you come back this year. Then we're going to franchise you two times. That's not value. Having somebody who doesn't want to come to work? like just trade them go get a bunch of picks but like always they're doing some weird middle ground like they don't commit all the way to one thing or all the way to the other because the middle ground has quote ambiguity and keeps people talking about them they could have traded them

three months ago and this story would be over i mean you know football would be starting but it would be different they don't want a resolution because a resolution means the story's over Can you imagine Last Micah in 23 led the league in that same stat Last Whatever

February 1st If I'm like A year from now You won't have Luca or Micah Part of the thing That was so cool about this DFW sports scene

Was you had two guys Who were league wreckers at a very, very young age. Like, you never said that about Dak when he first came out, or even CD. He was really good, and he is really good. But, like, Micah could be the best defensive player in the league, possibly, at some, if he keeps, you know, going. And he's cool.

Like, I know that's subjective. But, yes, no, Luke is cool. Like, Cooper Flag is not cool. Not really. Like, looking at Cooper Flagg on a cover of a magazine, it's not like, I mean, he looks like a stiff. He's probably going to, it's probably going to be much of the same situation that the Caitlin Clark, you know, thing was with the, who's the real MVP all the time? Like Asia Wilson, but they're like, she's kind of like a big man type thing.

She's like, it's just not a sexy fun player like Caitlin Clark. And that's, I think you're a little bit off. Likea is sexy and fun and Luca is sexy and fun. I agree with all that. I don't know that Cooper Flagg will be. We'll find out. I think he's just a really fun type player. I do want to say that.

There are good basketball players who are kind of boring. I think Flag is a fun player as a side road. I also have heard him interviewed very boring. And not like much of a trash talker. He'll do a little, but he ain't Luca. Luca's the Wonderboy. Lucas is trash-talking fans, whole crowds, feeding off of it. And Micah's similar.

He's similar, very emotional guy. And that, like just those two. that we're going to be able to watch those two is so awesome. And no, it's not as awesome. Guess are ready. Guess are ready. My neighbor's a big Packers fan. He's a great dude.

He's 50s, 60s, and he rolled by yesterday. He's like, ha, ha, I get you a flag if they trade him to Green Bay. And I'm like, ha, ha. And then he goes, wouldn't it be crazy, Micah and Luca in the same year? Yeah, man. That would suck. You should seduce his wife and have sex with him. Teach him to F with my sports consciousness.

Joining us now, the three men that will be part of our picks segment this year each and every week during the NFL season. It is Cirque, due, sirroy. The whole damn show. I realize now, after sending emails for years to Cirque Day, Soroy. And they never respond to my email. They're Cirque of Soroy? Yeah, I don't know what they were.

Look at them. They're all here. They all look nice. Mike Soroy. They're all here. Cash Soroy, Danny Bayless. Of course, Mike Soroy, wearing the one hat. Like, I heard someone talking today about the Dolphins that the last playoff win.

When's the last playoff win? Here we go. Yeah, when is it? Is it the longest stretch? We have a couple of the longest stretches in the NFL, like the worst shit. Yeah, like the Browns have one just a few years ago. I believe it might be over 20 years. Yeah, I think that's right.

that's uh disturbing 2000 damn 2000 0 and 6 in the playoffs you don't want to hear what I don't want to hear your cowboy's shit all this cowboys pain

well yeah we were talking about that for the everyone bitching about the stretch of no wins and it's like yeah like all things considered I'd kill a I'd kill a member of the bum zone if we could have one Super Bowl win in our lifetime

well look at cash cash looks great his life Lighting's great, his camera's great. You can tell he's the video guy. Soroy looks like a video I downloaded off a lime wire. It's dark. Danny's got like a real studio. Yeah, Danny's got a real studio.

Shooter manifesto video. Yeah. Jeez, Roy. They drove me to it. I think it looks great. No, he didn't. You just ruined. You touched the nerves.

You touch the nerves. That's how you know you're ready for my business. I am emanating live from Presbyterian Village North, the independent living facility. Weren't you a little young for that? My? Force field? Force field raised. No, no, this isn't a force field.

This is a cause for celebration, Mike. It is. Absolutely. Good for you, buddy. That place looks stellar. You get your slam pad back. That is the real reason. Yeah.

Look how great Mike looks now. It's not stand. Think of all the position. Oh my God so many different let's just say 24 hours in and we back Does she have the bag of Trump coins and the bear and all that dude so and cash will tell you this There's like some breakthrough that's happened with you know her slipping mind and all that and then she seems to care a lot less about Politics I guess if you will then when she did a couple years ago but so we go back to her house in flor Florida and we're packing shit up.

This is two weeks ago, right? Packing everything into a pod, which I'd never use the pod before. If you want a review of the pod company. If you're curious about that, we can do that. Although, I mean, honestly, very, very good. But I don't know. You see pods for your whole life. And I'm like, what's the whole deal there?

Is that the best business idea I've ever heard of or is this at work, you know? But I think thumbs up for pods. Dude, we had one for like two months, just sitting out in front of the house. And you're like, well, this is, this is, we used storage units before. You're also thumb-upping the pod? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

The only thing I was there with cardboard box. A little more versatile. I was there when the pod got delivered to the retirement home, whatever. Oh, sick. And it's all about what direction the pot. I'm like, we need the thing facing the door. So all this shit we get out, it's going to, you know, we come out the door. And the guy was so mad at me because he had it lined up to face away from the door.

And I'm like, well. and I normally don't give a shit and I'm like but if I if cash gets here he's just going to give me shit if I don't make this guy turn this thing around so he he's like all right all right I'll turn it around and then like for 15 minutes he went through the procedure

of lifting it and turning it around and like having the 12 year old hissy fit on every move he did and I just said they're kind of arms crossed just kind of watching like every hydraulic little pump he had it he's like I should have felt that. Every step of the way.

And I'm like, and then didn't say a word. Just dropped the palm. I mean, took off. But anyway, all in all, pods, a thumbs up. So we're packing shit up, and we go to our mom's bedroom when we get there. And there's a beautiful white statue of, I mean, honestly, all of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And then a glossy 8 by 10 of our current president, Donald J. Trump, sitting next to each other. I mean, obviously, almost touching.

And Cash was in there, and I was kind of just listening in. And I think I heard Cash basically ask, like, Mom, do you want this? Like, we're trying to limit what we pack and bring to Texas. And I think she took a moment and looked at the Trump 8 by 10. And she's like, nah, you can leave that. And we're like, baby steps. It filled it. It fulfilled the purpose.

It got her to a place in life. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah. The upshot of dementia. You forget all the crazy shit you got into. All right, well, so this is the plan, right? Wait, before we just lay out everything,

every now and again we need to do a thank a sponsor like Fairlease. Fairlease.org is where you can get your next vehicle. Danny, we could do it live. Or Fleet. Fairlees Navidad. Oh, that's right. Felis Navidad. We have the author of that.

Fairleased Navidad trading will be great. It's Fairlease.org. You can lease your next vehicle anywhere, right, from your phone. You don't have to go to a dealership that's very important during these coming up weekends. You want to watch your dolphins march to their first Super Bowl win. You don't want to be in some dealerships sitting there. Some guy who drinks too much monster energy drinks and he's trying to do curls to get you down on the deal. You don't want that.

You want Fairleast.org. it's fair so we've talked already about Travis from community mechanical today but he said his co-owner Chris just check them out to see about updating his wife's Tahoe and they matched his exact payments with a brand new 2025 Yukon his wife is thrilled they love the car happy wife happy life sponsor yep so uh slick that thing up at home with fair leased dot org yeah there you go all right we uh we have a sponsor too for this segment i didn't run it by your turn go for it let's get everybody by you guys but uh the search show uh had been brought to you on picks this season by large styrofoam cup they're in we got them always reliable the only thing more

than one large styrofoam cup is two stacked in there we're hoping to get there we're hoping to get there we just have the one so i think blake had a really good idea for picks this year which was teams because in years past when we have six individuals seven eight somebody gets way up and it's just they're safe dan usually or bob in years past like they're just by week eight nine it's over they're basically safe um somebody gets way down Usually that's not the same case because there's other people with them down, but we wanted to make it to where nobody was safe. So Blake's ideas, we need teams. So we have a show and you have a show, and we said, let's have some football together. Now, the thing that that brings into question is it changes the dynamics of the payoff a little bit. Obviously, in this situation, all of the winners will skip the payout or the payoff and all the losers will participate in it. now the problem as i see it is we're trying to find like the tension points and i don't know that there's really any payoffs that we've discussed that would be a big problem for me but dan and

blake i don't know potential problems on the other side you know we've kicked around some ideas like hey maybe you stream for 24 hours and like i've been on vacation with mike siroy a dozen times, and let's stay up for 24-so hours and laugh and have fun with never a dull moment. That's like once a month on Friday for him. Like, that's not really a payoff, but I don't think Danny wants to do it, and I know cash doesn't want to do it. I would just need to borrow some of Mike's medication. Right.

I don't think he's going to be like, oh, no, 24 straight hours. I will throw a monkey wrench into that narrative and say that I actually was the one that first came up with a 24-hour stream. And my initial idea was that we would each have to learn a stupid dance, like Napoleon Dynamites or, you know, Travolta or whatever, and perform at a local public place for 24 hours. And however you guys wanted to separate your 24 hours for however many, you know, hours you wanted to do and then every 10 minutes or 15 minutes get up and do your dance uh oh i think yeah we'd have to trick it up quite a bit i was thinking of uh that was the initial idea is all i'm saying

and it's gone from there obviously something like uh like accents on the eight where from like eight to 18 every hour you have to speak in an accent that we give you somehow you're going to be treated like a monkey all three of you or all three of us that would be the idea there What do you boys think over there on our team? Other payoff ideas. We kicked around stand-up comedy. I like that one only because... So the idea for the stand-up comedy was we each have to do a five-minute set.

Maybe Blake has to do 15. I was going to... This is Blake's Avenue to a Netflix special. A tight 30. Get him on Comedy Central first. If you wanted 45 to 9, I could give it to you. You'll pat it with crowdwork, which he's known for. And so, yeah, so then if we have teams and you're, you know, you're far in the lead, or let's say Soroy is far in the lead, but his two cohorts are dragging him down, then that causes dissension within the teams because they're upset.

They're going to have, you know, Soroy's upset. He's going to have to do the stand-up too. That also, so the problems with stand-up, I think, are when we did it before, like a decade ago, we didn't tell. tell anybody where it was. And you had to go to a crowd that didn't know who you were and try to be funny. Yeah, and it was. So if we, but we want to promote stuff and make things big and, right? So we would want people to be there.

But if our own people were there, is that easier or harder? Are you held to a higher standard almost? Well, I don't know. I don't know if it's harder or easier, but it's not the bit. I think it'd be easier, yeah. But I think it'd be less funny though. If Cirque had to do stand-up, these three guys are up there, and all these Cirque fans are out there. Whereas, like, when we did it, the crowd was heavily ethnic and not really feeling Jake, T.C. and Mino.

Like, we had to get up there, and it was, you know, it was not a crowd that knew who we were. And I think that made it funnier for the audience, like our listening audience. And then we had to pay off to, you know. Right. But. And I also thought if, you know, we all had to do five minutes, but the. person who ultimately came in last has to do 15 or something. You know, you could alter the punishment a little bit. I need you to under-effing

stand something, dude. Then 10 or 7. If it's so damn hard to do stand-up, then do six minutes. I don't care. I'm sorry. You have to do more if you lose. Okay. We could work on that, but this idea that somebody, any of the six are going to go do 15 minutes. It's a punishment. It's a punishment. It is supposed to be hard.

It's a punishment for the people to have to listen to it. The innocent gets trapped, though. can be longer, but 15 is insane. Are we taking suggestions from the audience? I think we should. Do you guys have anything else you've kicked around? I mean, Cash, you can elaborate on the streaming or Danny if you want to jump in there. Is it time to debut the idea of movie date night, but your date is an inflatable woman? So the loser, you have to all attend, you know, a nice two-hour-long film.

and obviously TC will be there recording all of this and we all walk in in arm with an inflatable woman you have to go and order popcorn and ask if she wants some you have to feed her popcorn in her mouth at some point during the film you have to maybe talk to her about her opinions on a scene and then you leave with the inflatable woman it's not a long enough bit

And, like, dude, it's uncomfortable. Yeah, no, now this is where teams would be bad. Because if three guys walk into the same movie doing that, then it's clearly a funny bit and nobody's really upset. You would have to individually go to three different movies. Yeah. And then watch, you know, the hidden camera, T.C's, you know, secretly recording from somewhere else.

I think you've got to do dinner, too. Yes. That could be the ultimate loser, maybe, is the, No pay dinner A little wine tasting Not dinner You can hide in a movie

For two hours But dinner Now she's She's closed then right Yes She's closed Tastefully But also ready for the evening

Yeah She'll be having the Yeah Right We'll have the Tempura shrimp And She wasn't hungry

When the guy It has to be It can't be like real doll quality it's got to be the one with the mouth that's open yeah yeah the one that looks like an annie doll or something right what do you think i'm we're spending 5,000 on a reel or however i don't know how much it costs i i am priced about except for october whenever you get 15 percent off you sign up for their dude what if we got a sponsorship real doll if you just go on amazon these things are effing hilarious look

Oh my God And they have to go home and joke Fuck it For the bit You know TC's filming you Man I don't know This is pretty good

How do you feel about Mike's audio right now It's it bad It's okay, it's okay everyone You're fine you're fine you're twice They like Dan likes to play both sides Where it's like Well if we don't acknowledge it

Then it didn't happen But also if there's a small tiny little fart in the waveform I've changed a lot I love this bit I don't think it immediately presents as good audio content, like, for the listener, but it is great. But us reviewing it and watching it after Wood. But you're right.

It's more of an individual thing. If you're doing it as a team, then it kind of, you know, removes the... If I lose, I have to take one. I have to take the doll to A.A. Now, teams is our... No explanation. Teams is our idea, but we're not married to anything, I don't think. But, like, if we decide there's an individual one that's better, right?

Yeah, I just, I don't know. I do really like it. I like the idea of teams. Because if there's anyone I hate, it's Cirque du Soroy. The rivalry has been going back for years. We hold you guys so highly. It hurts for you to say that. I think it's the stream idea.

is cool. I mean, there's obviously like a commerce element to it of like we'd have cool numbers and it would look, I think we could make it look really cool, but you would have to have like, you would have to have some level of setting the direction by the other team, right? Like you have to do this. Like he was saying,

you have to, there's got to be some things. You can't just sit there for 24 hours. If you had to stream. Right. Yeah. You're doing a show essentially, right? Yeah. Well, for 24 hours. Which is also, I mean,

either way it's just not Dan doesn't want to do that one Well I don't want to but I will But it would be good for us Like people would tune in People would tune in people would We'd get more Imps

Hey by the way they're doing imps now Are you guys on to the imp game? We got a request for our imps last week From a client for impressions Danny It's a new game Oh yeah yeah Yeah so I think we're not allowed to do voices on our show Okay

Okay What if you Yeah Okay So stand up So what if Dinner with a blow-up doll Or movie

Movie What do you got cash So what about the idea About doing it on the other person's stream So that the other person The other show gets Gets that That analytics boost

Yeah Yeah So if you guys lost We hosted on our stream yes and if we lost water burger for a day and within reason within reason you guys

can kind of produce it or you know kind of tell us what to do or do nothing and just we'll watch us twist yeah that's a good idea which I would I would watch you twist for a while what

I think do we need to cover format at all as far as the games it's going to be standard three NFL college So, yes, I would like to cover format because last year on this program, Mike, you were involved. We tried to change it up. And really my mindset on that was I want to try and do something different than we've done before. And I didn't like it.

I didn't like the knockout pick. It didn't make sense after a couple weeks. I didn't like how few games there were. The triple was just, it was weighted too heavily. We had a triple out of five games, so now, yeah. The other format that we had developed, like, and I was a big part of developing it for many, many years. It was honed and crafted and made into that. You have no idea how many fights in those meeting rooms over the format of effing picks between me, Bob, and Dan.

So I was thinking of that this year, as I'm reading the Aaron Schatz football preview, because he used to do that on another platform. Football outsiders. But it's such a cool format. He now does it on his new platform. Now, football outsiders might still do it. I don't know. They might not even be in business.

They're not. The point is, why should I have to change the thing that I invented? What if they try to actually innovate and do some new stuff instead of just keeping our... So I'm going to... I think we go back to the format that we... We developed that we made, and we considered an honor that others are using our format. We're not using their format. Like, there's no IP on this format.

So I'd like to do the three college games, three NFL games, the cowboy game, and then you have a wild card. Any of those can be your triple play. Add them up, they equal 10. It's very easy to add up throughout the year. at the end of the year you got 170 games picked Yes, and then so throughout the week We'll have you guys on And we'll give our cowboy pick

And we'll give our triple play Those could be the same thing Your triple play could be one of the games we give you Yeah, you only got to give two on the air It could be your wild card But that's all you have to have ready on the air Then you just got to get to picks to us by Saturday morning That's it

And we have nacho Do we want to argue about that or is that bit like that? No The only thing I'll say is I just tracking down picks we'll address, but like as a from a listener perspective, I enjoyed that all of the picks

were said on the air. And so everyone knew heading into the weekend. That's not even true though. Because we just did those two still. No, we did all of them. Did every one of them? Yes. Okay. And so I Go ahead, Cash.

I like the idea of saying all our picks. I don't know if we want to eat up that much time every freaking week. You don't. But I do like the idea of that, but I also there's college games or whatever that I might love on Saturday on Friday night or Saturday morning that I, you know, whatever you

collect the picks is fine, but Well, that's why Jake's saying, here's what I think. Yeah, you got to get a bit. There's an information on Thursday that sucks. Yes, that's part of it, but also when we were doing this at the radio station, you don't know how much of your audience is online. I think a significant portion of the audience

of these shows is online in some capacity. So if we just post the picks, I feel like people like track. They end up tweeting me like, hey, you just got F'd by FAU, or hey, you just got F'd by UCM. They still end up knowing the games I'm losing because they tell me about it, even if we don't say them on the air. And then I would get three tweets, where the F are the Picks. It is really important that we get the Picks Friday night. It's really important. 100%.

But outside of that, I think the format it rules. Now, I feel like this could be a thing that also just beats Danny down because he's the dark cloud, he's everybody to know. It's just even having to do it. True or false, Danny. I know you've got a kid, you got things happening, bullets are flying. We all got kids. Everybody's got kids, except for the two idiots down on the bottom.

They have dogs. Not that they know of. It's the same thing. What do you think, Mike? Well, just question, because I don't know if you notice, and I mean, it comes a shock. I had a little bit of a computer. issue not too long ago so i missed some of that discussion are we saying our collective score as a

team is our team score or is it the individual who loses their team i'm sorry i think we go i like the collective idea now because then you could be the last place but you could actually win yes and vice versa win and lose but there's a little bit of a like honor amongst thieves here uh we can work this out off the air but like obviously like down the stretch here like you could you could get funny with it to make sure that you don't now in doing that you could also screw yourself like if you try to park the bus and then it goes horribly wrong for you but i think there's maybe we work that out as we go there's probably some pitfalls here i feel like there are six trustworthy people here

though i don't yeah at least four definitely i don't cash is a known cheater there i'm saying there's one and it changes by day. So I don't I don't know. I think this is going to be a lot of fun, though. And we will gladly, I would like to be on your show anytime there's a Thursday night game we're all fired up about.

I envision a scenario where like on the last weekend of the season, we all six just go live during an NFL Sunday. Because it's come down to the last Sunday almost every time. And at the ticket, it was like you can't just pop on. But for us, we can't. Yeah, what are you, Tony, the engineer?

See, I wonder, so if we are doing teams, now you're getting mad at me for triple playing against freaking Baker Mayfield again. It's going to be that devious over there, tripling the Cowboys every week. Chattie's got it figured out now. You think the confidence that I'm assuming right now is like going to chill? Yeah, I don't know if I want to do teams now. You are tied to it.

But I'm just thinking what I'm trying to think of pitfalls. Like if Mike is doing picking the Bengals and I pick the Browns or whatever it is, I'm not going to pick the Browns ever. The bucks. You know what I'm saying? But you know how that gets and you just get coerced into triple playing against the other guy? Listen. Because that's part of the fun.

I can be wooed by an idiot of the wind. Yeah. Is that going to, with the team format, is that going to change the way people are? Because you used to egg me up. on to make stupid bets. Yeah, dude, I get in the moment, though, and I just want you to do some dumb shit. Like, that's all that it.

Like, maybe it has to be the team. There is some payoff, but then the lowest on that team gets the extra payoff. Like Blake was saying, maybe it's 15 minutes of stand-up. Or 30. Or dinner instead of the movie. Yeah. Yeah. There's ways to ratchet it up a little bit.

All right, well, we'll take anybody's suggestion. So we'll Cirque do-surroy at gmail. dot com right yep i love this this is really good but i think we we still have room for some spice because i was just looking dolphins at browns on october 19th like there could be some like mandatory games that pop up that it's like you gotta you gotta do this um stay loose with it i guess until this thing gets kicked off next week but i'll but you're already making me pick the Browns, though. Like, that seems unfair.

We have a dolphins. It's not like... Also, like, also, you know, there's no... You don't have to, like, be specific about this. Everybody here is to, here to do bits. This is not... I don't know that there's, like, a lot of pride in play here. And when we did picks before, there were people that were, like, very concerned.

They were going to look dumb if they lost. And that's sometimes not as fun. Everyone here used to being thought of as less than. So, maybe it's more fun. Not an issue. Not an issue. Not an issue. All right, well, I guess we'll talk to you guys next Thursday.

Did we accomplish anything? Yeah, where are we leaning right now? What's our actual, where the hell are we? I feel like we, I don't know if we want to do a poll, but I feel like tonight you guys talk about it on your show. You'll hear from a lot of people. We'll probably get better ideas or mom. modifications to the ideas that we have. But I think between, you know, the real, the inflatable stand-up or streaming.

Mike and I were table-talking one off the air. And it is the, we were talking about the Waffle House challenge. Everybody knows what that is. Does everybody know what that is, Jeff? No, no. That is like a famous payoff to losing a fantasy league is you have to go sit at a waffle house for 24 hours

And you can take an hour Jeff is our sit-in today He was sent here by community mechanical He got himself an HVAC system So they Power buy, power by That's right So he's very fit

Yeah he is he's a fit man very nice very nice well so he dropped like 12 grand on an hvac and had to drive to Dan's house yeah that's right he lives in trophy

what a tree I know that this is shocking it's shocking to everyone who lives in the city of Dallas but most of us don't like the rest of the Metroplex you can walk to his house 15 minutes away it's sane but anyways the

the Walthouse Challenge but you can eat something to drop you know take time off yeah uh so mike's idea when we were talking about this was why not the water burger challenge one of our great sponsors we do we broadcast at a waterburger with the doll well it could be with the doll but it could be you know then uh different menu items will get you different amounts of time off of your 24 hours of broadcasting love it love where you guys head is at uh logistically virtually impossible like I'm just telling you. What if the last place guy...

If we want this to be super complicated and possibly not happen by... Why logistically impossible? Okay. Because I know what it is taken for us to be able to get a Waterburger remote set up for last time and for Friday. And I know that they... For two hours. Yeah. I know their thoughts when approached before about broadcasting there all night.

We could get like into the off air part of it. I'm telling you that's not happening. So I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. I'm saying if we... Let me roll through our sponsor list and see a... Okay, how about the community mechanical? We sit on an air conditioner for 24 hours. Yes.

Boy, my wife, well, is early bird. They could still provide the food in a heated receptacle of some kind and provide you the same opportunity. If we did the 24 hours, but you could take it off with food, all good. But us setting up a full camera streaming setup and audio in a Waterburger for 24 hours, is not happening. What about inside cardboard box? It could depend on the location, too, because when the Waterburger idea, when the Waterburger idea was tossed out, I was like, okay, well, this is, I loved it. You probably need to think about whatever you're about to say.

Well, no, no, my point is, is I would love to do it. It'd be awesome if we did it at the Waterburger by my house on Buckner and 30. Why is that? It would just be a lot more entertaining. my guess is Danny that one doesn't let people inside overnight it would let you look you guys have the connect they'll make an exception for the DZ are you all starting to understand the problem I'm referring to or alluding to here not yet they're not going to let us in there overnight they don't anymore maybe we'll do it from Fairlease which is on

the internet anywhere you want to be you can lease a car or eat a water burger on the stream if we did it on a Friday night on a high school football game or something? I mean, they're open the dining room is open late. Well, look, that's just table talk. Jake has issued a warning, so we're straightforward, streamlined. Well, hey, this is,

this sounds like table talk, you know, sort of leaning toward a 24 hour stream in one way, shape, or form. So that's a good ending spot for now. And if there's a food element, if there's a location that makes sense, all right, then

we can discuss i i think the insanity and the dread of that coming down the freaking standing on the train tracks with a 24-hour stream coming at us and especially if we had to do it on your freaking at your house dan or at the other the we're not doing it in my house well wherever or the the fox studio or you guys had to do it at our place i mean we we've got the bar the sauna and the spa right and the the kitchen so you know it's really quite lovely it'll be a good promo for the show for your show. So yeah, everybody tune in to Cirque tonight. Hell yeah. Where they'll be talking about this and other topics, and you can see the water feature. Hey, kind of the reverse of the...

I've actually not watched your show. I listened to it the next morning, so I've just heard about water feature. Did you know the water feature died and has now been resurrected? Oh, no. Oh, there's a new water feature. I knew it has died. A five-dish water feature, about three times the size. It's basically a piece of huge furniture now. It used to be 20 bucks in like this. I think I'm pro-flowing water in the home.

Like we went to the house one time. They had that little, like, that little, like, coy pond, like, in the living room. And I'm like, what the, yeah. Okay. This thing looks like they moved it from the Arboretum. I love it. It's ridiculous. Hey, so real quick, though, Waterburger Challenge.

you know Waffle House challenge I think it'd be funny if Soroy or whoever every bump you take you have to add an hour So if you don't get through it naturally For each one of those You gotta add to the ledger It's making 48

I just shamefully walk out of the bathroom I live here now Put one on there Put one on there boys All right well email your ideas to us or CERC And then we'll get back together but one week from today, we're making our first pick, so hopefully we'll know before then what the payoff is.

It says our pros come to you with the hottest flooring styles right in the comfort of your home.

They just throw a bunch of dirt on here. No, this is the new flooring style from 1872. Flooring guy came over before. before I knew about Flooring Direct to put down cardboard box. You don't want cardboard box. I'm like, this is not the hottest flooring. And he made me pay for it right there. You could pay later at Flooring Direct with 36 months of zero inches financing and no money down.

No. Like, this is not someone, they know what they're doing. Double A call-up flooring guy? Because there's nothing worse than that.

Want to do some mail? Show yeah. Or is it break time? We could do a wrap-around. You do a little bit of mail. We'll do a reach-around. I don't really know what that is. You're behind.

I'll show you, during you. You're behind someone and they give you a handy? Is that the idea? They're behind you. Well, okay, somebody's behind somebody, but the person in front just, it's just, that's all. It feels very self-explanatory. I know, but it just feels like a, who's doing that?

Like, you're back there. You have a hole. What if you're doing both? That's what I've always been confused by. I have. David Draper who emailed D-Raper? D-Raper said that

the D-Zone curse lives on. Oh no, what did we kill this time? He says, we killed the freak. Yeah. Remember, we were on the freak on different shows the last day of their existence. That was a radio station. We killed the local

at the shacks at Austin Ranch. That was Jerry's place that was hopping for the Generic summer event. He says that I submit to you that within two weeks of your remote at Hoppin in Fort Worth, they close their doors for good. Yeah. Rest and power. No, we are definitely the Reaper meme going door to door.

Well, that's why it's interesting. So these were all like single locations, although the freak was pretty big, but it wasn't like I-heart radio. Sure. We're going to Waterburger tomorrow. And so the Waterburger challenge is stay in business after we do a show at where are we, which one are we going to be? I know it's Grand Prairie. The Bush? Bush and Pioneer Parkway.

Because that is the place where we will have the car trays, the tariffed car trays will be out there. The last edition, this is it. If you want a dumb zone slash waterburger car tray. And get out there tomorrow. And it might be the last day that that Waterburger or any Waterburger is even open. Right. Yeah, they could be watch their earnings calls. Watch, buy the dip tomorrow afternoon.

Because, yeah, it could hit rock bottom. I mean, now, past performance, not indicative of future results. But we are one for one in not killing Waterberger. Right. We at least have a little bit of a hot streak on that front. Also, Nate from Silverback Construction bought a bunch of $5 gift cards. leaving him at the counter. So you can come in, you get your tray, but then go to the counter to order food and mention the dumb zone.

They'll give you one of those $5 gift. So right away, you got $5 off your breakfast. Unbelievable. What are you getting? Okay, so what I do is I get, if I'm going in, I get a tequito with sausage, potato, egg, and cheese, and I add the Monterey Jack cheese to it. Monterey and cheddar. That, those two need six pecanis. So it's those two, six pecanis.

Then I get a breakfast on the bun, which is just the jalapeno cheddar, biscuit, sausage, egg, that one, spicy ketchup, and a little bit of ranch. That'll be the morning. In the afternoon, we're going double burger, mayo, cheese, avocado, medium fry. I thought he was going to be like, I don't know a burrito or, like, I didn't think I was going to get 10 minutes. They don't have burritos. The breakfast, whatever they got. Tequito, sorry. It's what they call a tequito.

I just thought it would be a quicker answer. But I didn't realize you actually had an action plan. From Justin. He's got a why Hillary lost email. I'll use the app while I'm there. I learned that for Blake. Yeah, of course. Just because you don't want to see the look on their face when you order.

They don't want to put in all those customizations. It's not, yeah. You need to do it on the app. My brother-in-law told me a story a couple weeks ago that struck me as a prime example of, quote, why Hillary lost. I need a ruling. Okay. story goes that an arlington elementary school dad's club of which my brother-in-law is a part of meets at a local arlington bar for their meetings side note here jake inserting himself our dad's

club meets at a pizza place that is also a brewery or like a tap room it's not uncommon word got out to a group of moms who decided to go to the next meeting of said club they didn't like that it was at a bar reported it to higher-ups with the school and now the dad's club club has to meet somewhere else that doesn't serve alcohol. What do you think about this? Does this suffice? Somehow, yes. Somehow this act of overreach by the female class does feel like why Hillary lost to me.

Guy also said that he ran into a guy with a qualus shirt on at his daughter's like, get to know the teacher elementary school, and he was a super nice guy. and he's like I immediately told my daughter to cozy up to that kid because it seems like Wallace is going places that's from Justin

Hey speaking of dad's clubs Why are Will mailed these to us This is viewer mail So what do you think about that real quick though Just the moms are like We don't want them We don't want them where there's beer

So rather than just tell your husband Don't drink that night You've got to ruin it for everybody All the time Yeah Just because it's a tangentially associated with the school, right? But, no, it's silly. It's like, that's, why do we have Dad's Clubs?

Why do you have your book club? It's to do a little drinking. Got Book Club tonight, bud. You got a book, your wife has a book club. Oh, yeah. This is sick. This is the O.C. Taylor's Dad's Club softball jersey. visually

it's decorated guys who are into softball go way too hard on this stuff these are nicer than any flag jersey I've ever had yeah were you ever dad's club would you like show up and write a check at least or something

I haven't done anything no not an official dad's club no maybe hounded me too anyway he says wear your jerseys with pride you are now part of something bigger than yourself a brotherhood of suburban warriors Well, I play for the name on the back, not the front.

Chris in NRH, Dear Dumbzone. Speaking of a book club. How many big Mac, 69 jerseys I have in my life? It's all of them. I can't. What am I going to do? All of them. Big Mac. It's Terminator was as embarrassing, though. Nobody's wearing either of those.

Speaking of books from Chris in NRH, I need a ruling. My wife is doing a new thing when reading a book. she reads the physical book while listening to the audio book at the exact same time while listening headphones in book in hand double teaming the story

so she's hearing it and then just following along yes I don't I guess I don't mind that but that sucks that she probably paid for both here's the kicker she always mentions how she's just using her quote credits on Audible to get the audio version. She never mentions the fact that our account gets billed $20 a month for her

subscription that includes one book download. That's Girl Math. That's Girl Math right there. It's free, yeah. It's, yes. I had to pay for this, so it's free. I'm already, I'm already using the credit. Well, where do you get the credits? I paid for it to make it free. Well, yeah, but now I have the credit, so I have to spend them. Here's another fun one. This from Steve in SoCal. You guys know that I've been singing the praises of Lamb Weston fries all week. Met a guy in Austin, or my buddy met a guy, Grant and Austin, who hooked us up with fries for my birthday party. The best fries I've ever had in my life. I will continuously order these fries online.

The variety, you guys got to see what they're doing with these fries. Steve says, following up on French fry talk, back in my consulting days, I had a huge project with Lamb Weston. It took me to their factories all over the country. the scale of their operation is absolutely insane at one factory i watch them make all of the mcdonald's fries for the year for japan in two weeks one million pounds of fries a day they also make all the fries for arby's and chick-fil-a and let me tell you you've never had a better fry than an arby's one right out of the friar from the assembly line i bet arby's have good fries Oh, buddy, their curly fry game is...

Nobody's doing it. Nobody's doing it. Is it too hard for you? Do you like the curly fry? Me? I like any seasoned fry. It just feels very difficult to get ketchup on the curly fry. I've never found that to be a problem.

To the end of it. Just jam that thing in there. The whole thing, just shove it in. I apply my ketchup, like, externally. Like, I squeeze the ketchup on the fry. There's no... I mean, I need weight. more than that dip is two fries

I'm a big I'm a big you're a big sauce guy yeah he signs off Steve and SoCal anyway go French fries which I think we can all I'll get on board with

I have one from Keep Anonymous please who is it from Dan Mr. Daniel I want to chime in on the quote poop stories discussion from last Wednesday's soed I don't remember what we were doing

We were talking poop Your buddy Pooped in somebody's shoe I had a buddy poop on a plate And we left it at a guy's doorstep We had the Richland Poop Dollar Yeah He says in college a group of friends got into

Delivering quote Pooh Poo Pucks To each other's dorm rooms The idea was it that you Poohed into a plastic grocery sack Smashed it down into a flat disc shape and then let it freeze overnight, often in the shared lounge freezer,

in a Pop-Tart box or something. Once it's fully frozen, you take it out of the bag and slide it under someone's door while they're sleeping. So they wake up to a fresh sneaky poo on their floor all while the door was locked. Anyway, I wanted to share and get a rating from Jake

on whether this is funny or deranged. Peace and love from Anonymous, please. I have a weird take on this. I feel like because the poop is solid and not like gooey anymore, it's less deranged. Like, it doesn't feel as gross. No, but it becomes gooey once it thaws. You don't think they ever, like, they don't catch it before it's. Okay, that it's deranged, yeah.

If you... It's just going to be pretty thin. Yeah, I think... To fit under a door, you're talking... I'm not like the biggest poop is funny guy in the world, so I don't know. I think that's really gross, dude. The funny part to me is the effort that it requires. If we're going to grant a funny part, the fact that you're...

hammering it out like a like you're fabricating something and getting it perfectly circular and freezing it that yeah but like that's why do you know about the uh the stapler and jello yeah i guess i've seen that that's from like the original office and maybe even dwight did it on the new office too but to or jim did it too dwight right so yeah like just the what goes into that when you say it's the effort that's required or like just said that i respect that but i don't know i don't i think like why is that any less disgusting to you than if it were like mail like bot like like like come like we've heard of sports hazing stories before from our friends in the pro game wait who says that's less disgusting well i'm saying if that that like would that guy do that be like yeah we

put a bunch of cum and it froze it through it into the guy's door i think doesn't stink And it tastes great. My point is just for, that's just as bad, but I think most people would be like, come on, dude, that's gross. Oh, it's just poop. Yeah. Semen, that's gross. I'm like, no, I think both ways. They're both gross, but it's coming from inside your body.

You have to do that, you have, the poop one is, because it stinks, it's going to be all mushy when you wake up. Yeah. Plus, it's hard, you know, it's easier to get a nice amount of poo then you got to, you know, pass around the Aggie. jar to get that thing full. It's true. I guess it's true. I've got an anchored phrase from our buddy Scott. Sequiter. Yeah.

You're not throwing that around. What, a pro sequitur? Yeah. Right. What's the opposite of none? I thought pro, but... In Latin, what would it be? I don't know. It's just sequitur.

It is either a sequitur or a non-sequitur. Yeah. what is a sequitur like it happens sequentially what's a non sequitur out of order like you just something inserted

non sequentially that was great work from Chris do you guys know that Jake Paul has another fight coming up have you seen this folks have you heard about this

uh no he is fighting a guy named gervante davis now Javante Davis is... You know, in Micah's, when he was on with The Undertaker, he said post-football, he wants to do boxing and MMA.

Of course. Does that surprise you on? He wants to play flag. He just thinks he can do everything. All right, sorry. Javante Davis is five feet, five inches tall. Jake Paul is, you know, he's fighting at like one-night. He's 6-1.

Do we have a regular Travis versus Nate from Silverback? Yeah, maybe. Like is Giovante. Who is it? Javante? His name is Javante Davis. He's 6-5.

Or, excuse me, 5-5. And he's fighting Jake Paul, who's 6-1. What are the weights? He fought at 200. Davis fought at 135 for his last fight. But is he, like, awesome? He's good. Yeah, he's good, yes.

But he also fights guys who weigh 135 pounds and does well. Well, I love it. So this guy Don't you feel like this makes you kind of want to tune in a little? Yes. And so Chris says I want to take this moment

to reject the implied competitive hierarchy here going from old people when he fought Mike Tyson to short people without at least fighting a woman in between is disrespectful. Now how bore at is this?

It should be old people, women, young but seriously injured men, short people, then actual opponents. Going from old people straight to short is like acting like we, this guy must be short,

are the next wrong of competitive laziness for him when there are plenty of children he could fight or at least a gravely ill person his age and height. Chris, short king. I mean, Jake Paul is going to kick the shit out of this guy, right? It'll be hilarious. It depends how good he is, you know?

No, it doesn't. You don't think He's a pro boxer who's nine inches taller and he's going to be fighting 50 pounds heavier. But if the other guy was like the best 130-pound fighter in the world, would he beat Jake Paul? Because Jake Paul's thought of as kind of a fake fighter, right? I don't know. Kind of. Kind of fake, kind of real. Yeah, more fake than real, but more real than some of the other YouTubers.

I got a gummy thought brought to us by Early Bird, Early Bird CBD. where you can get a new discount like so if in the past you've ordered from early bird cbd.com you can now get the order discount again with our new promo code dZ20 so we used to have the code dumb zone now use dz20 you get 20% off remember that early bird CBD has the THC in it so if you get drug tested at work This is not the CBD gummy for you. But if you're not a baby, then it is. At earlybirdcbredcbd.com, like Dan said, the new promo code is DZ20. That'll get you 20% off.

We don't know what the laws are going to be here in these parts, folks. So right now, that 20% can be pretty helpful if you go about it that way. Earlybird CBD.com. All right. Is it woke to have a dog harness instead of a dog collar? Huh Because now they have dog No, I don't think so

Does your dog have a collar or a harness? A collar now, but we had a harness period And I didn't think that it was I wasn't doing it for woke I was doing it because she was a tough SOB He was very hard To wrangle Yeah, but if you're yanking on the

Isn't the thought that you don't want to It's like inhumane type thing To choke them, yeah And that's why we've gone harness Like I would suggest If you go to PetSmart or whatever, there are more harnesses than collars for sale. That makes sense.

You know, what's weird is that I had a harness on the dog and typically also had a collar, but for a while, I don't know, we like lost the collar or something, and I just had the harness. But I would still walk her every day. And I lived right by a school in Fort Worth, and there was a Fort Worth cop there that, like, two days in a row, it was like, I'm writing you a ticket the next time I see that dog without a collar.

I'm like, dude, and it is a law. You have to have a collar with an address on it and a rabies tag. And I'm like, bro, I live down the street. What are we talking about here? We have a harness. Our dogs. We had a harness that didn't have the, my shirt. Oh, if it had the tag on it, did that be okay?

Yeah. Okay. And I'm like, what are we doing, dude? It's like 8 o'clock in the morning. I'm like, out, you see me every day. I live right here. I don't argue with the law. That dog has to have a collar on it with a tag, and I don't see one.

And so the second time, I was like, are you arresting me? And he's like, have a tag on it. Why don't you just? Well, what's he did? In my opinion, the police should approach you and say, I'm writing a ticket or I'm arresting you. Otherwise, they don't need to talk to you. Like, if you wanted to write me a ticket that day because I didn't know the law about the caller, I would have to eat it. I don't need it.

You did need it. You would rather have had a ticket come out of that confrontation. Without a doubt. Because that's his job. I broke the law, right? He's trying to be nice. Otherwise, no, because what that guy's trying to do is be a dick. That didn't have anything to do with the school zone or like, I don't know,

it was just such an insane threat. Following up on that gummy thought. So, the type of porn exists where you have a lady, she'll be wearing a dog collar, right? Like, that's, it's demeaning to her, right? If you say so. That's the point. I think. Here, let's walk over here.

Here, we're going to do this. All right. Does the type of porn exist? Like, is there woke porn where you have a heart? Because you don't want to choke her. You want to respect women. That's right. Or is porn the one part of society that has never gone woke and never will?

No, that exists. Woke porn exists? Yeah, like, you know, they're like, again, are you asking permission? The people that we hypothetically think were upset about, like, Sidney Sweeney and Eugenics, like, they make, you know, they make it for everything, buddy. In fact, I'll tell you a effed-up tale,

T.C. was telling me yesterday that he was checking out some adult content and was in a really tough spot where he was trying to find something he had seen before but didn't remember what it was. you're trying to triangulate search terms that's a terrible spot to be in and uh so he's like i accidentally found this video it's an entire genre of adult content on this site he's like it's called pedal pumping and it's just women like foot fetishes usually in high heels but sometimes just flip-flops and it's just the camera they're floorboard they're just revinching they're just pumping they're just pumping like a sports car or a truck or something there's no nudity

like there's nothing this could be on youtube but i found you're just into feet totally feet like it'll be a lady walking in like high heels and then she'll take them off and just start revving like a like a Mustang and again it's a 10 minute video there's no porno in it so so my point is just like if you're a lady who looks down upon ladies like just pedal pump pedal pumping pedal pumping with my silver nail polished feet. It's so weird. Oh, there's tons. But if you're a lady who looks down upon other ladies for taking their clothes off on the

internet or something, would you look down upon this or is this a good way to make money? No, I think it's all just, it's eye of the beholder. Like, I think it's ridiculous. Yeah, most women do that. I mean, women don't, like, look at women on the news who, like, flaunt their appearance and say, like, well, I guess they do. They tear each other down. But, like, they decide when they're going to be critical of women for using their appearance, I feel.

And it's, that's super fair. Not my place either. That silver polish adds the look of authority and skill, smiley face. That's what they want, dude. They want to be crushed by that authority and skill. Couple more here. Now, I'm not done. 17 seconds, the brake pedal, whoosh, as you pushed it hard.

I want to be your clutch, rev it hard. These are comments. Yeah, yeah. Can you do the next video with the car off so you could really pump it hard? Yeah, I saw one lady, I swear to God, Blake, she did that. Because, so she could really rev it. The car was off, otherwise she would have been flooding it. But she added sound effects of like a revd engine so she could really push it.

Young mama has gorgeous tootsies. Okay, we're going to move on. We need to be exterminated. This is from Ben. On yesterday's show, you mentioned a woman being hit by a tree in her car near a white, rock you guys remember that yes she was driving yeah tree fell on her well in a weird ironic note ben says i was hit by a tree this weekend you might remember me we had you guys up to our house and didn't last spring after that episode i was dubbed ultra running douche on reddit yeah the runner i mentioned

that because i was out attempting the rio grande 100 mile ultramarathon in south fork colorado we moved up there a few months ago anyway nature calls and i step off this 100 mile trail to poop I take my pack off, and as I do, I hear the unmistakable sound of a tree cracking and falling. I turn around, and the effing thing smacks me to the ground and pends me for a bit. I was able to free myself, but I busted up my ribs. Felt like it was a one in a million chance for a tree to land on me like that, but hearing her story, who knows, there's a picture of it, jammed him in the ribs. Hope to see you boys in Denver, formerly Denton, Ultra running douche, now Colorado, ultra, ultra running douche. Nice.

And then our final one here. From you. Oh, you have another one? Then you should go. Okay. I got a couple. If one of yours is from a person who likes to have sex, then I won't end with that one. No.

Okay. I have one more left, and I don't think you have it. You want to be the ender. This is from our homeless. Would you rather date a girl that used to be homeless or used to be 700 pounds? He says, I can definitively answer this. Now, he says, used to be 300 pounds versus homeless hypothetical. My wife is a weather presenter and model who has in her life been both 300 pounds and homeless for over a year.

Fantastic. You want the woman who used to be 300 pounds without a doubt. The number of bear traps with the previously homeless hot is unbelievable. I bet. And if you complain about anything, you sound like a bitch. On the other hand, you don't lose that much weight without. having your meal pep situation locked down and perfectly organized and if she used to be 300 pounds she's going to enjoy showing off now that she's not more dan and jake uh from anonymous you know

she still has some curves too nobody's going from three bills down to pencil i think we've all picked the the bigger girl like seven 700 pounds is the hypothetical just because there's well you know he's got an interesting flip on the homeless thing because i think we always thought like well they'll just be so appreciative and they'll think you're really cool because you have provided them love and comfort and home but i had not considered that she's definitely going to think you're a bitch there's nothing you can do to make her feel like you're tough so if you're okay being like her beta like what are you going to do you're going to be like isn't it hot out here she's like seriously did i slept out here for a year yeah uh

Oh, it's my friend Angelo. Very short. Derek wants to, he says, we need to be able to listen to these Brandon Aubrey songs at Will on some sort of streaming platform. Do we have like a thing where we post? I thought you have done this before, like a Spotify list. Yeah, we have a SoundCloud.

Let's upload all of them. That's a point and click. SoundCloud sucks, but... Does SoundCloud sucks? It's easy. It's free. It's free. I feel like the qualities.

for audio files I don't know Yeah you know And then So if you have an ender I'll give you This is from Horny Amy Do you remember her

We set her up with With Chris Was it Chris? Will Oh with Will At the generic summer event They seem to be getting along She says

Hey guys insert Curve Vagina a euphemism. I would never. I want to update you on my sitch. The dumb zone setup didn't work out, so I am, quote, still out here waiting to get knocked out.

Ha, ha. Cracked. The goal was set back when I got bulldozed by a dog at the dog park. Freak accident. I broke my ankle, dislocated my patella. Surgery a week later. The same break and the same

surgeon as Dak. And then she gives the little hand with the painted nail emoji. I like that bit. That's a good one. She says, I'm bionic and horny now. The fourth week of no weight bearing. Total is six to eight weeks is driving me effing insane. Then I got COVID.

Thanks, Bin Laden. I hope to make it to the Rangers game, September 10th. Hey, now. That is from Amy. So if you're looking to pull some hot old wool, September 10th. She is pretty hot. Maybe you can impress her with your court. It's a court.

I looked again yesterday. We can take a 16 ounce bag of food into the Rangers game. Jeff knows. That's actually in the copy points on the website. Fantastic. Fantastic. I'm looking at all options. Got an email from Nick.

First name only. He is an epidemiologist, like a real one, not like how everyone was on Twitter for three or four years. And he works in tobacco prevention and control. Now, one thing that we miss out on here, I don't know if you have to do this at all in your line of work, Jeff. I would imagine not, but we're not conference attendees over here. Your wife have to do this much, either of you? Nope, never. My wife has sporadically, or career fairs.

are a smaller version but the conference where hey are these excuses to go to Vegas a lot of times or Orlando or frankly here a ton of them are here and it's like just people from your field that get together and here maybe it's just your company maybe it's all epidemiologists and we're going to talk about developments in the field there'll be booths we're going to sell you our new stuff you get to gist but somewhere along the lines and I feel like maybe Tony Robbins was a big part of this. But somewhere along the lines, they started hiring, like, entertainment.

And a lot of times it was, like, motivational entertainment, you know? So, hey, who is the CEO going to walk on Coles? Or, you know, that sort of thing. Or, like, bands to pump people up. So Nick was at his conference, and they brought in acrobats. And I got a couple different views of this. This is Nick's view of it. You'll see some four or five ladies, probably epidemiologist,

in there, and now we got acrobatts flipping over them. What needs to be described here is... Yeah, okay, I figured as we went. Paul, you can pause it, Clayton, and we can... They are not... This is not in a large, like, gym. This is in a... Hotel conference. A hotel small ballroom. And it looks like

they're doing flips, and they might hit that ceiling if they go a little higher. Yes, this is not, again, not a gymnasian ceiling. You're 10 to 12 foot floor. You've got four or five women lined up with their hands up, and we're going to jump over them. One. Successful. Two, successful. Three, going to clip the lady in the back,

and now all hell's breaking boots. And then the last lady, the last lady jumped thinking that she was going to land in one place. Now, that place is now occupied by a lady who's unconscious. I have another view of this.

As you might expect, I replied to Nick, and I'm like, great. Did he land on her? Let's see it. This is the behind view here. Oh, listen to the song. Let's get it. Let's get it.

Let's get it. this is to help your medical knowledge right just on a Tuesday afternoon whoo first one success woo second one success three oh oh dang oh no oh oh she did land on her oh no so you know you've got that it's that music or or who let the dogs out or mombo number five playing and just Women in blouses. You know what's interesting is like... She probably volunteered to get in that line, too. You do it, Cheryl.

You're the crazy one. But the person who is organizing this event. Yeah. What brochure are they thumbing through to say, what can we afford to get out here for... Yeah. Like, what are the options? Right.

All right. Mini kiss. Like we could have got a guy out who, like, lets you hold a snake. Yeah. See what sort of guts you have. And they decide, you know, clearly they're like, I don't know, what could go wrong with the tumblers? The gymnastics team. And then now you're on that gymnastics team.

Let's talk to, let's interview you about your beaten life. So you're at a conference last week. You know, are these all like failed Vegas acts and they kind of already just are in Vegas? Like maybe doing like the minor league back or like the G league half time circuit and TCU women's basketball halftime or something. Nick said, I panicked and stopped filming. She walked out with assistance, but they did keep the show going afterward. Got to. That's the epidemiologist.

Just like when Janice passed out. That's right. Were you at that meeting? I was. Do you know about that, Blake? No. This is when Cumulus bought the ticket from Susquehanna Okay

No, I was not at that meeting, but I know what you're talking about This might be 05 or 07 or something A long time ago Hey no Janice Anyway She was HR lady Which you're allowed to say hey now

Right now So Janice was the HR lady And one of the dickies Who ever bought the guy that was at the front of the Cumulus. R.A. Dickie was up there talking. And he was in a middle of a thing.

Like, this was exactly out of the show of the office. He's in the middle of this thing about how this company is not a company. It's a family. And we don't treat... We consider ourselves a family that happens to have some radio

stations. Okay. You know, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so I'm still... standing near the back of the room, near the door, and Janice, the HR lady, was, I don't know, 10 closer to him than I was. Anyway, we're all kind of in the back of the room. Well, Janice apparently did something that was, they warned you about when you're a kid, and I never knew if it was real, but she stood with her legs locked. Apparently, because she passed out, like, as he's saying this, how we're a family.

and not a corporation. We don't even know it, like, money, where? What? I don't, I just, you know, all that. She topples on the floor. Now, R.A. Dickey is way at the front of the room with Dan Bennett and the bigwigs. But now they can see there's some commotion going on at the back. There's a couple people rushing to Janice and, like, is... And she kind of, like, is groggy, and they kind of got her...

And Dickie is looking back there, like, what's going on? And they all kind of, like, did a quick little aside, like the three heads of the snake there. And they were like, because they had then ushered her out of the room. Yeah, what are they going to do? And then they kept talking. They just kept with their speech. Like, I would think, I don't know, if someone in my family, I was kind of giving a little thing. I might just take one minute to like, you know what?

Since I was in the middle of the speech of that part, the family part, let me go walk out and just performatively. That's important. Like, I know I can't do anything, but just kind of check on her. No. It was like, ah, she's, people are taking care of her. That's fine. It's just your aunt.

It's really set the tone. Yeah, it's just, it's not, like your mom or anything. Do you think that reflects the treatment of Cumulus? Is that kind of foreshadowing? I mean, they ended up coming in and, like any company would, You know, the person who used to do this one job now does two jobs because the person she shared a cubicle with is now not there and still makes the same salary.

Family members die. It got Donovan over to the ticket. That was good. That's cool. It cost Jimmy Christopher his job, I believe. Oh. But, you know, overall good memories. Overall good memories.

here's jane with the dumb zone news all right this is a wild one uh bald springs they have uh enough of a high school for you to know their mascot blaker no isn't it over by seagaville yes i don't know their mascot but it is east and south in bald springs there was a family gathering over the weekend celebrating a baptism now these are Latinos in the family here and I feel like that's important instructive because they have large parties for baptisms in fact you ever go out to grapevine lake on a Sunday you will see large families gathering for baptism celebrations in the lake. This one was taking place in Ball Springs.

There was a family gathering. There was a 35-year-old man. And it was his kid who was being baptized. And they had a big party back at the house. So the dad of the kid getting baptized, he was upset because one of his family members, a 19-year-old earlier that evening, had discharged a firearm out in the yard.

during the party which one does right you're kicking it with your bros you're you've had some beers you got a gun let's celebrate right this soul belongs to jesus christ now i got a gun i'm gonna fire it the dad didn't like that he made the decision that uh hey i'm upset that this guy was firing this gun i'm gonna go confront him about that so he did and that turned into a very serious fist fight, which resulted in the 19-year-old taking the same gun he had before and killing the 35-year-old father of the child.

I was going to say, that sounded like a good result if it just was a fist fight. No. Yeah, but if you go to fight a guy with a gun, you see, remember. He's got a gun. The accused, the murderer, the 19-year-old, after he was read as Miranda rights,

admitted to shooting him, and said he acted in self-defense after being physically assaulted. He said he retrieved his 9mm during the fight, fired at him. Now, for the 19-year-old's part, his mugshot is very brutal. Like, he got the piss kicked out of him. So one way or another, he was on the receiving end of a pretty serious helping of beating him. In some way, but the guy also had gunshot wounds, like, one to his back. it's like there's maybe he tried to get up and run and the guy shot him again and now self-defense

is probably not finding as much purchase but uh something very poetic about it happening at a baptism well wasn't theirs no no that's true uh we've been playing this game quite a bit lately how would they describe you in the news? This is an interesting one. There's a 35-year-old man in Prosper. Michael Angel or Anhele Garcia. He was arrested and faces charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child victim under 14. Very bad.

What's even worse is that he is described as a former coach with the Prosper Baseball and softball association. Now, at present time, I believe that I am a head coach with the Grapevine Colleyville Soccer or Grapevine South Lake Soccer Association. It doesn't mean that I like spend all that much time. It's a weird thing to sign up to do and then become the way that you're described in the story. Yeah, if you got busted for something, it'd be like, he's a coach.

Now. Isn't that terrible? Right. And it's like, I met these kids. I see them once a week. But obviously, if the kid was someone he was coaching, that does become an interesting piece of info or important piece. And that's not listed in the story.

They're not going to list that. But, yeah, they did say that it was bonded a million and a half, and he's been terminated. So if you were wondering if he's still coaching. Was the kid one of his kids? That's what I'm saying. It doesn't say. It just says a 14-year-old.

But they also say, perhaps if you are a pedo, like you tend to try to get a job at a daycare or something that you have kids around, you know. Yeah. Like if I lived in Seattle, I might work at the fish market. I enjoy little salmon, little fish. Same thing. I'd work at the needle exchange. Same sort of deal.

Yeah. In Johnson County, we have a nice fun law enforcement sexual harassment story. These are great. Law enforcement, sexual harassment. Johnson County Sheriff, his name is Adam King, and he is facing some criminal charges, abusing his office of power and sexually harassing employees. A couple counts of retaliation against a witness. Those are felony charges.

Abuse of office. related to sexual harassment. Basically, when you start doing sexual harassing, if you're, like, in a government position, you're in real trouble. And he is. An affidavit to WFA got details several unwelcome sexual advances,

verbal harassment. In one instance, from the story, he told a subordinate to remove her sweater and said she would have to disrobe before he signed any documents. So he's just having a little fun The fun continued As he told the same employee

If you keep losing weight You're going to make me do some ungodly things to you That to me is a compliment Well he's tossing out the vibe Yeah let's see does she bite How old is he? It doesn't say But he looks like he's about 60

And I tell you what He also looks like the pedophile principle From Ferris Bueller's Day Off that appears to be a type but yeah he's older that same employee that he said hey you keep losing weight

let's see what happens he continued on a day she wore white slacks to work which I think five of five guys in here would tell you is pretty hot he said

quote back in my younger days you would not want to know what I would do to a woman wearing white pants Let's see. Another instance where he told a female employee who had entered his office to back up

so he could take a look at those feet. He then proceeded to stare at the subordinate's feet in silence for several moments. So she did it. She did it. Say all right. And maybe here's why. He would give special privileges.

privies to married women who spent time with him specifically take him to lunch buy him jewelry um he would also take female subordinates into his office for one-on-one closed-door meetings which lasted for hours and where is this what city bulge springs uh is that what i said no that was the other story johnson county it's like cleburne kind of southeast of here That's not that far away, actually. Well, actually, it's south, yeah. So I compliment a girl's feet, and then all of a sudden I'm harassing her. I want to have a performance review because I care so much about her career that takes several hours, and I'm a bad guy.

Complementing your weight loss. Hmm. Motivating my employees. All of a sudden I'm a huge jerk. Giving her a little history lesson on, like, what if you were wearing that when I was 20? Things would have been different. Yeah. uh he's just trying to help camera crews captured him leaving the courthouse uh they say he cannot communicate with the victims because that apparently it's already been a problem he was elected to the position in 2016 and in 2024 and before his tenure in johnson county he worked as the commander for the south texas officers and prosecutors human trafficking task force

this doesn't invalidate that work he wasn't trafficking any of these women he was uh dude again speaking of things we know nothing about like i'm not saying my wife had it bad but the story she would tell me and friends and other jobs like we do not understand fully what going to work as a woman especially if you're like i don't know probably it doesn't matter if you're attractive or not like somebody's going to find a way to creep on you if they're a creep and now you've got to like avoid their desk you got to not sit by them at dinners you have to make sure that you don't get booked in the same car with them on trips like this stuff happens make sure you don't drive them to the golf tournament because you know they get way too out of control with that like the list of things i ever thought about if i had found out that like one of the older hr ladies or something was like hey you don't know what i would have done to you back of the day i would have been like we will find out Now. Caller Bluff.

Yeah. I don't want to go super long today. Is there anything else we want to get to here? Oh, this is a weird one. We've been reporting on some of these new laws. New law, new rules. And one of them signed by two Dallas County lawmakers, one of them Royce West. He was a big swing in D.

They have led a charge to create a new law. law plugging loopholes in one very easy-to-do crime. This is home title theft, which I've never really heard about, but upon further review seems like the most frustrating thing you could ever possibly deal with. So obviously there's like your identity stolen, you've got to call your credit card company, cancel the credit cards, et cetera. this is a case where typically the victim finds out when they go to sell the home and they find out they don't own the property

because someone has forged transfer papers or a name or notary seal taken their name off the title replaced it with theirs now what does that mean usually it means the person who has done that has now taken out alone using the equity in that person's home is collateral and they are not now on the hook for that loan. Apparently, there's another way to do it, which is something called a mechanics lien, which is if a contractor thinks that they did work on your house and you didn't pay them for it, they can apply and get a mechanic lien taken on that property.

Like saying they have a lien to that deed. And then when it comes up for sale, the seller learns that. And there's no court proceeding to determine whether they're telling the truth or not on that? So apparently one thing that they've tried to do, they have a sign-up thing. How do they say it? Your county clerk's website has a sign-up button for property fraud. But like, who's doing that?

If they don't enter it, if you don't enter it into this website, like to have it looked extra for fraud, then no, they won't catch it. Or they might not. But I'm saying, and this is probably why I paid community mechanical right away. But you're saying community mechanical comes in. They do some work for me. They say I didn't pay. And I don't even know that they said that and that they just can tell this governing board, hey, they didn't pay me.

They could be lying. Yeah, I don't know the process, but it does say it is uncommon. So wait, these people would lie? Up and down to your face. it says that the most common thing is you find out when you're trying to sell your house about either type of lien so this happened to my parents did it yeah they uh we bought a house uh down on lake cedar creek and the people who sold it to them we did the whole process and then somebody filed a complaint and like a lawsuit against the house saying that they

held the title so my stepdad had to go to court do all this stuff to prove that the transfer of ownership was from the original owner to him. It's just a long drawn-out process, but the main thing is people take out loans against the house, and then whoever owns the house is on the hook for the loan. No one's

surprised. Scammers are going to scam. Speaking of no one is surprised. We'll close down with this one. From the no-way file announcing his candidacy for the 21st district in the Texas legislature,

it is none other than conservative Republican Mark Tashara. It will be running for Congress. Where's he live? It's in Texas. Let me look up the district. That's that guy. He sucks. I thought you'd quite enjoy this.

Oh, this is the Chip Roy district. He's got to retire. Damn, I did not know that. Why do you hate him? Chip Roy sucks. Mark Tashir is an effing asshole, dude. You don't need to be... Just listen to that interview.

That's how he is. What interview? The one with me? Yeah. Okay, well, I don't know. Maybe Blake doesn't know or whatever, but... This was real early. Right?

Oh, yeah. 2001, 2004, well, whenever Tashire was here. We had him on the show and... He said something about how, like, he was like 22 or four or something, but he was married. And I said something of how he had divorced to look forward to. You know, something hilarious. Uh-huh. Something that I would say.

And then he got all, I don't know, that's not very funny. And then Bob, again, there's early Bob, Bob and Dan. He's like, oh, I'm sorry, Mark, that wasn't fun. Like, I'm like, come on, man. But, and then, so Josh Lewin, you know, was buddies with all the players. He said, look, I think it was a misunderstanding. He's actually a good guy. Why don't you go meet him in the clubhouse and you guys can bury the hatchet or whatever?

So I did go meet him in the clubhouse. And I basically told him that I was sorry that he took my funny joke the wrong way. How did we think that was going to go? And he got even madder at me because. he's like, I thought you were here to apologize. I'm like, I was just told that we were going to start talking, like, and then it was a thing. And I didn't get that on tape, unfortunately, because it was supposed to be, like, just an off-air. Hey, we're all cool.

But if I knew he was going to do that, like, not react to my false apologies in the way I wanted him to, I probably would have rolled. But, yeah, he's a douche, and he was a douche forcing his way, making sure he got out of here. He was a douche. whatever he's unfortunately also very good at television is he yeah so i'm not surprised good looking dude good looking dude definitely still married though right i mean i i would have heard yeah oh yeah yeah yeah that's a good point somebody would have sent me it if he that's a good point is not married but yeah i don't think anybody's surprised he definitely seems like a guy who was constantly in the clubhouse bitching about other countries going to hell in a hand basket that feels like a baseball

thing all making 40 mil yeah that's what i want to do there's your news tight 18 and a half boom we're on schedule all right the dumb zone celebrate jake like and subscribe keep that three hour out of your inbox celebrate jake for missing the big story of the day chip boy sucks the guy's replacing anyways jake missed the big story of the day he's ignoring it the suck the guy's What are you running from? ESPN replacing Doris Burke on NBA Finals broadcast team. No. Demoted.

I bought a normal, like, black shirt, the outdoor shirt, but then I went back and I got a long-sleeved dress shirt one, and I wore it under my blazer, and it was amazing. Look at this guy. It's not stiff.

Blazer guy. Come here, blazer in the booth. National broadcasts. You're wearing a poncho shirt while doing the Cowboys. Yeah. And it was great. The first week, I was real buttoned up. I had a real stiff white shirt on, but the poncho was breathable.

That's messaging at its finest. been in a wreck lately personal injury though they're your guys they will help you out frankle and frankle they'll fight for you somebody throws a sandwich at you

and you feel personally injured i would give them a call maybe the frankles will be helping out either nate or travis tomorrow the loser of that battle and no pivot punches No. None. In celebrity birthdays, a huge celebrity to start. If my notes are correct, this is the birthday of Ted Emmerich. Whoa.

Tommy E himself. Did you know that about your partner? No, and now I should feel bad. Your little booth buddy? Can I give you an Adam Schaefter tweet? Several teams have spoken. spoken to the Dallas Cowboys about a potential Micah Parsons trade and for the first time the Cowboys appear willing to at least listen.

Sources tell me, Todd Archer, and Dan Graziano. That's the NFC East guy. All right, what do we want? This is a long story too. It ends with, if Parsons does not begin to practice despite being cleared, it is possible the Cowboys could consider that to be conduct, detrimental to the team, and find or suspend him, opening up more CBA-related issues between the two sides. Because again, recall, they already have one.

The grievance over his franchise tag filed. I thought Shadi had this all taken care of. I was told that they talked, and he was going to be practicing. So he's getting this second MRI. I mean, how many dinners does Shadi have to have with him before he falls in line? because that's what we were told Hey we had Coach

I'm just calling you to say good night Where's the good night call You know what's funny about that As he said he kind of hinted that He tried to call Jerry Micah did Yeah he's like What did you call Jerry?

He's like how do you know I didn't All right This is awesome Other than Ted Emrick Pierre Turjan is 56 Islander Or what? It was a star

What else? Oh, I don't know Where was he like Former cowboy Jay Ratliff is 44 Former cowboy Luke Giff Is 30 Jay Ratliff I believe got In an accident

On the What I used to call The Cowboy Corridor They would all get DUIs On the 114 Exchange Coming through like Las Kalinas

Irving, like, dude, that's where Terry Glenn died. That's where, like, roughly the Josh Brent thing was going on. Jay Ratliff got one when his F-150 hit an 18-wheeler in the guardrail. Charlie Frye, 44?

I know I vowed to learn the quarterbacks of the Browns, but I haven't done it. Lou Pinella, 82. Ron Guidry, 75. Catcher, or what was his bit? He was a pitcher. Lou Pinella, Roseanne.

Damn, that's a good one. I think Lou Pinella is a Rosanne. That is a good one. They don't make them like that anymore. Olympic swimmer Janet Evans is 54. Why? Is something? I thought she was famous enough to mention,

but she also got really mad at me in Dayton. Oh, okay. But you work at a SeaWorld? No, she was being interviewed on the air at the time of the Olympic bombing, the Atlanta Olympic bombing. And then she kind of freaked out and ran. And then I brought that out and was talking to her about it. And apparently she got bent out of shape.

And her publicist called to complain to our PD and all this stuff. And that was like right before I would end up getting the job in Dallas and moving to Dallas. and I went back and looked at the publicist complaining emails and the address, the physical address for the office she was writing from was 3,500 Maple Avenue. So she worked in the building. That is phenomenal,

because there were several publicists and agencies and stuff in that building. That rocks. I bet you had at least a little tinkle. I thought was cool. Jennifer Coolidge is 63? Absolutely would throw both legs on it. Yeah.

How old? 63. She's Stifler's mom, and she's in that. She always will be. White Lotus. I thought she was older. She does feel older. Luis Guzman is 68.

You'd know him if you saw him. He's the one Hispanic actor everybody knows. He was in Boogie Nights. Carlito's Way, man. Shania Twain, 60. Carlito's Way guy? No, never saw it. Don't know what it is.

Do I need to see it? You, Blake? Dude. Nope. Clayton's on it. It's Brian to Palma movie. Leanne Rhymes, 43. Al Pacino, Sean Penn.

Army Hammer 39. You ever watch that, Doc? A little bit of it. My wife's tried to tell me about it, but I don't know. Yeah, I watched the whole thing. I don't know. He's eating people, or was he not? They wanted him to eat him.

Yeah, I think he was kind of like a, seems like a Trevor Bauer type situation. Just messed up. No, he just likes, yeah, he likes beating his women, but they kind of were into it, at least pretending to be into it. And then. I had a really hard time with his name my whole life. Yes. And he is Armand Hammer's grandson.

Yeah. He went to Highland Park, too. Sonny Schroyer is 90. That is Enis from Dukes of Hazard. If you've ever watched Dukes of Hazard. The Real. Joe Kenda is 78. Wow.

What a run he's had. Elena Thompson is 20. That's right. Honey boo-boo. I was going to say, Oh, really? Honey-boo-boos. Don't get that excited.

She's that old. What's her name? Alanna Thompson. What do you mean don't get that excited? Have you done some recon? Oh. Well, I'm just saying. It looks like her mom's before picture.

And our dumb zone birthday of the day will be Jack Black. It's 56. Bad guy. What? Yeah, fuck him. Oh, no. Dude, the way he did KG for, like, yeah, KG stepped out and made a little political statement. But KG's KG.

Just let your boy ride. You don't have to support it, but you definitely don't have to come out and be like, Like, I definitely do not condone what Kyle said about President Trump. Just don't say anything. Not needed. I guess you stopped, because who hasn't been working since then. Kyle Gas. Awesome, dude.

Sick move. I think he's a good dude. And that reminds me, the dumb zone and me in particular, I do not condone what Jake has been saying over there on IJB about our former place of business. I, I distance. State your piece. Totally from all of that. Yes, still your piece on the whole, your piece on the whole Bob and Dan would have never made it if Cat was our first PD.

I'm just saying how great Bruce was. Damn it, he's so freaking ready for every attack. I'm not putting anyone else. The point is that Jack Black is... There was an uncool move. He's great. I don't know why he needed to do that. Like, you're still going to be fine, man.

Kyle? Probably not so much. Who cares? Dead on the State, still dead. Chadwick Bozeman. So when the Cowboys just get a second from Greenback? And that was today in history. Will you start drinking again?

No, they have four-fourths. Because they're going to say, look, we're saving a lot of money by not paying Micah. We can get three players to that price. Right. And now the headache is gone. The podcast is gone. They will not get more than one first. They might not even get a first.

Wait. What if you make it? Micah and Dak. Okay. Four? For Jordan Love. He's a lot cheaper than Dak. And two first. Closing remarks today are brought to you by Jeff.

And community mechanical, because that's who. And Travis. Who are we kidding? He's getting traded to Philly anyway. And Travis. Actually, I got an email that said, Ola Donkey Punch Dan. Although I'm no Brandon Aubrey, I was saved by the greatness of Travis Gafford, Tanya, and the community mechanical team.

My AC went out. I was literally a million degrees in my master bedroom. My regular AC company, I called them, and they said it would take five days to come out and diagnose the problem. Then they said, I need a whole new system. So I said, F it, I called community mechanical, explain my dilemma. I played big shot saying I know Dan McDowell, hoping that would help. They said we treat everyone like they're Dan McDowell. Community Mechanical actually found a part that was supposedly unavailable.

They fixed my unit for a fraction of the other company's quote, and my bedroom is back to a frosty 69 degrees. This is from Day 1 DZE Adam Romo. Wow. The big wigs. He also supports community. mechanical, as does Jeff. What's your bit, Jess?

Well, I'd have to disagree a little bit. When I got home last night, my thermostat was on 74, and it was frigid. You like that? And I like it cold. If I turned it down to 70, that's where I had it before this new replacement. You're saying somehow their air conditioners are colder than other air conditioning. They are. Coldest air conditioner in DFW from what I understand.

I might have gotten that one because I'm with him. Literally, no one can fact-check that. Right. It's absolutely a claim we can make. We're sleeping at 73 now. Well, that can't be all you have, though. No, no, no. I did bring some gifts.

Wow. Yeah, yeah. Let's break the ice with some gifts if that's okay. Jake, we're going to do you last, if that's okay. Sure, sure. Blake. Sweet. Jeff, uh, are you careful? I share what you shared with me in the break.

Oh, for sure. Jeff is, uh, 11 years sobs. 11 years. And, uh, he was 39. Yep. Whoa, the parallels. I could be this hot at 50. Oh, you're, you're already there.

You started with the game day men's health, bro. Stop it. Stop it. Uh, do we want to talk? What's, oh. Got old Benny, his first moose. Nice. Nice. Let's, uh, teach him well with that.

I got it. Oh, this is great. This is great. I hope it fits. One day you'll be moosen, bro. What, you just got me here? Yes, sir. You have to wear that tomorrow.

I know they probably want. I left the tag on just in case, but, uh, that's a female body inspector right there, but. Nice FBI shirt. You've been talking about that for a long time. so I hope it fits. Dan can put that in his Harbaugh closet of just an FBI shirts every day. Oh, sorry. That's awesome.

Jake, you're probably a little too young for that. Yeah, we've had that around since the ring. Jake is not too young. No, I remember. Grade school? Sure. Yeah, Spencer's, they probably still rock those. And this one's for you.

Okay. and we have your official it is the year of the deal it's a so we have the dumb deal the dumb deal the dumb zone deal it's a it's a dildo yeah and i what do you do people do you oh you throw it on the court we throw it on the court but i figured since uh when you're breaking news that we signed page Bukers, I think you first started off with saying you deserve that. There's an

on button, so somehow this thing powers up. Uh-oh. I will figure that out. I should have put batteries. I'm sorry. We'll just leave that right here for the show. Stick it on your wall behind. Why not? Jeff has a very interesting job that I wanted to at least hear a little

bit about. I do. I work at the ballpark. I will not say who I work with. just because of the gift that I just gave. But, yeah, I take care of some suites at the ballpark. I started off five years ago and was taking care of seven field suites, which is technically 36 inches below field level surface. Really, really cool.

I don't know if you guys have been down to the Lexus Club and seen the not when there's a game actually taking place but we've been down there during like Jared's thing I want to sit there so bad it's obnoxious

and taking care of five founder suites which has been a been a nice move have you met bud seelick have not met bud c is he still alive uh no but i mean he's not the commissioner i know but he's been he's been he's probably been oh you said only five years yeah yeah yeah i i uh i used to build restaurants before before this uh was a managing partner general manager for i did it for a little over two decades and got burnout and and here i am that's cool what about w does w ever ever do you ever

What if we need if there's one thing we are lacking in big time it's knowing rich people all the other shows that you hear out here they know a lot of rich people they golf we don't know anybody i think you do we know the common man right but i don't want to know w well uh you seem like a real peach of a dude jeff do you have anything else you'd like to add any any criticisms of the show today perhaps no no i've been a big fan uh actually uh since 94 I know you guys weren't around in 94, but, Dan, you were a nice, nice addition, and I would obviously wake and bake, and during those days, I loved your chemistry, Jake, and Dan, and I'm glad you guys are doing your own thing, and congratulations, congratulations, Blake.

This is the year of Blake. Dude, we have, I don't know if we've really said it yet, but it's clear. Oh, yeah, kid. Kid boy A real kid boy A job that seemingly means he'll probably have a job that seemingly means he'll probably have a job when this thing folds Right So it's tough to deny
