Hello, I'm Dan McDowell, longtime professional broadcaster.
Why subscribe to our Patreon podcast?
Well, perhaps you support our struggle to get out from under the oppressive thumb of the man.
Or, objectively, if you sign up at patreon.com slash the dumb zone,
you will get the two episodes per week that are available on all podcast platforms,
like this one, plus an additional two episodes each week that are exclusive to Patreon.
So subscribing on Patreon gets you four episodes per week.
Oh my, what a bargain.
Now, on to today's program.
Don't hug me!
Hello, coming to you from our RV bathroom.
I'm Charlotte, and I'm an RV tech.
Today we're going to be talking about the Pooh Pyramid
and what we can do to prevent it.
You do not want a Pooh Pyramid.
No!
What is a Pooh Pyramid?
Well, I've learned, not from my own...
Sure.
I hope not.
...doings, but if you leave the black something open...
The black water.
The black water, back...
Whatever, it's like when you clean out the waste thing.
Mm-hmm.
And if you leave it open, then it will just drain out all the water or number ones that you do in the bathroom.
Yeah.
It's like there's a big kind of a Tupperware.
Yeah.
Okay.
Picture the $1.5 billion Paris Reservoir, but it's like now shrunk down.
Okay.
And it cost $30.
And if it's always draining the liquid out, then only the solids will go.
So the solid goes there and then another one on top.
And then eventually it's a pyramid of poo.
How did you get your name?
Coach Joe?
Well, I was a poo, and then I just became a pyramid.
Anyway, I'm Dan McDowell.
I'm Jay Kemp.
I'm Blake Jones.
And we are broadcasting live to tape from Oxnard, California.
We are at Cowboys training camp we made it
look at it big deal we made it to Cowboys camp we haven't been to our
Airbnb yet straight here straight here straight to the media tent,
straight to the field.
We apologize for our lateness.
Oh, we'll hear about it.
Yeah, no, we had a lot
of time, so I've...
Because I do everything Dan does, taking to reading
the comments.
I love that people are like, oh, you're just
going to do this on Cali time, huh?
It's like, we were driving here.
What were we supposed to do?
And if we had a generator, we would have released it on time.
And if, yes, if you listen to...
You know what?
No.
We're not caring about comments anymore.
Okay, no, I just wanted to say, though, if you listen to yesterday's program,
you realize that we had a little difficulty in the...
We have to be stationary.
Our point, our goal, our original thought was we could broadcast while moving, and have to be stationary. Our goal, our
original thought was we could broadcast
while moving and it'll be great.
And it was great until it stopped
working.
So then we just parked
for like an hour and 40 minutes.
And then that made us late to get to the hotel.
And then today we had to get here by a certain time
so we could get credentials
and players. But we did leave it. We were on time so we could get credentials and players.
But we did leave it.
We were on time this morning.
Did you see that Saroy worked at that restaurant that we stopped at?
The sandwich shop.
No way. When someone pointed that out, I do remember him mentioning that place.
Okay.
I guess I'm not reading the comments.
Yeah.
No, that was just a tweet that Saroy sent us.
Oh, I didn't see it.
Yeah.
Small world. In fact, well, Matt, Matt Gr Oh, I didn't see it. Yeah. Small world.
In fact, well, Matt, Matt Grimm, the great Matt Grimm.
Yeah.
And I want to really talk a lot about how great he is, but then he's not here,
and then it won't really count.
It's like giving charity, but nobody knows, right?
Who would do that?
Losers.
Me, this morning, I'm at the gas station getting my coffee before I spilled it on myself.
I wasn't going to mention it.
Yeah, I wasn't going to bring it up.
The hell you guys weren't going to bring it up.
I wasn't going to say anything about it.
Would you have diarrhea, bro?
That's him.
That's him.
You're in that bathroom a long time.
We saw Sod today.
It's the first thing he said to him.
Yeah, Sod's like, hey, I heard you had diarrhea. How's your belly? The first thing he said to him. Yeah, Sod's like, hey, heard you had diarrhea.
How's your belly?
The first thing he said to me is like, why do you hate your show?
Why do you get to fly and not drive?
And the first thing he said to me was, hey, how are you doing?
I'd like to trade, though, the people making fun of you for something.
I'd rather be made fun of.
That's because you don't care what we think about you.
I care what you guys think about me.
I care.
That's one of my biggest weaknesses.
You care too much.
Yeah.
No, when I went in,
so the two coffees and two yogurts that I bought,
reasonably priced at like $7.24.
Okay.
And I was like,
wow, two coffees and two yogurts.
This is great.
And she goes,
would you like to round that up to, you know, save children, help children's diabetes or something?
And I was like, no.
Yes.
I said no.
You did?
Because I felt she was the nicest lady.
She was very nice.
Was it the black lady?
Did you have the black lady?
No.
Okay.
The black lady was the sweetest.
She, like, walked around the counter to show me
where something what oh because you know i like my coffee a little weaker so i get the hot water
in there i throw a little hot water a third hot water with my coffee anyway the point is
i felt guilty and then i said yes and then she said oh well thank you
yeah she goes that ape that just uh dragged his knuckles out of here said no.
The guy who was buying nicotine.
So I didn't ask you, how was your McGriddle?
So I never had, you know, I prepare my breakfast every day.
So I have the same thing.
It's like oatmeal.
Apple.
You know, the whole thing.
And so now we're on the road, and he's ordering at McDonald's.
First of all, you don't go up to the counter at this McDonald's.
You now go to a big screen where you just touch it, and you get to...
Yeah, to be clear, this is a McDonald's at a gas station.
This is not a standalone job.
But the kiosk is at most McDonald's now. I never go in, so I don't know. Okay. I'll tell you the last time I was inside a McDonald's at a gas station. This is not a standalone job. But the kiosk is at most McDonald's now.
I never go in, so I don't know.
Okay.
I can't tell you the last time I was inside a McDonald's.
I just do that.
I just would rather not talk to the human.
I can see what I want.
I want this, and I do it, and we had to make an alteration to yours,
so I just wanted that.
I wanted to see it.
Yeah, so I said, yeah, do they have any kind of egg burrito or something?
Yeah, so he's like, try do they have any kind of egg burrito or something?
And yeah, so he's like, try the McRiddle.
McGriddle, not the McRiddle.
Yeah, I wouldn't be the call you on that. It's kind of weird.
Yeah.
And so what this is,
and once you take the sausage off of mine,
it's egg, cheese, usually sausage,
but instead of the biscuit or bread around it,
it is two little mini pancakes.
90% of the people listening know what a McGriddle is.
That already have...
Delicious.
It already has the syrup.
Yeah, baked in.
Isn't that wonderful?
Inside it.
What an invention.
It did not taste like the healthiest thing I've eaten in a while.
I can't stand them.
However.
It was delicious.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Absolutely.
I can't stand them.
If you hand me another one right now.
I did not order one, but that's what I got.
Today?
That's what they gave me.
I remember when they first came out and where I was.
So I wonder if that's the difference between going up to the counter and ordering.
I don't know.
I mean, he got it right.
The receipt said bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, and I got a McGriddle, and I was starving, so I ate it.
And you didn't like it.
Oh, God.
I just don't like sweet stuff at all.
So it just kind of ruined it.
But you're not just going to eat it.
You don't even want to look at the McDonald's egg, much less eat it like raw dog.
No.
You got to bag that thing up.
Yeah, so today we came straight here.
What time did we leave?
Everything is running together.
I have no idea.
We left straight up 6 Pacific time.
I don't change my watch and I haven't yet, so I left at 8.
I feel like that's a mental thing.
Like I can't leave at 6.
It doesn't bother me at all.
But I went to bed at my usual 11.15, 11.30.
I woke up, and I actually rolled out of bed at 7-ish.
Got ready.
And you missed it.
I know Rob did this, and I think Matt might have too.
I know Rob did this, and I think Matt might have too.
I did not have an opportunity to deep throat Blake's toothbrush today because we got our own rooms at the River Resort and Casino.
Don Laughlin's Hotel and Casino.
I thought about that the entire time I brushed my teeth.
In Laughlin, Nevada.
Yeah, so it was super cheap, and it's super beaten down.
Dude.
I mean, it is like, you know the shitty parts of Vegas?
Keep going.
Right.
It's as bad of a hotel casino situation.
It was like $40 a night.
It was so sad.
Yeah, so speaking of so sad.
I totally regretted.
No, it was fine, dude.
The room was actually nice.
As I walked to the room, I regretted it right then.
The room, though?
The room was fine. But it I walked to the room, I regretted it right then. The room, though? The room was fine.
But it was a mile away.
You had to walk through Casino to get there.
Were you in the tower we were in?
Well, whatever I was, I was as far as you could get from the elevator.
It was the longest walk down that hall.
We were right off the elevator.
Yeah, pretty close.
But yeah, so we're walking up.
the elevator. Yeah, pretty close.
But yeah, so we're walking up.
So once I got there, I vowed
I'm leaving once
when I leave in the morning. I'm not going to dinner.
I'm not going to breakfast
and coming back. I know. I thought I could
lure you with an acai bowl.
I'm just leaving.
Whenever I leave, when I have to walk down to
that godforsaken
beaten casino with...
I was saying this to Jake earlier.
You know how you'll see someone in porn or maybe a stripper or something,
and people will say, hey, that's someone's daughter?
Yeah.
So I'm walking through the casino really sad, like, that's someone's grandma.
Yeah.
That's someone's grandpa just sitting there at 5.30 in the morning.
I couldn't stop thinking about that.
My normal stand on schedule
is I got up at 3.30 Pacific time.
Curiously, at this place
and by the way, we stayed at a casino
because that's almost all there is
at the area we were.
There was a Holiday Inn, I believe.
The Holiday Inn Express was like four times as much as the casino.
Yeah, everything else...
So we were like, gosh, we can get five rooms here.
I went down there at four o'clock in the morning
and just walked the whole thing like four times.
I'm going to tell you what they do to that room, though.
It's a nice-looking room and all that.
It feels fine.
The shittiest internet you'll ever have.
I use my phone.
Oh, dude. It's like I got one bar because they don't want you to stay in. I use my phone. Oh, dude.
It's like I got one bar
because they don't want you to stay in that room.
That's a very good point.
I hotspotted and was cooking.
It took me two and a half hours
to upload yesterday's video.
And I had to do it on my phone
and I put my phone on the balcony.
Because in the room, no service.
You're right.
That's absolutely intentional.
But I mean, yeah, I was down there at like 10 till 4, 4 o'clock,
and just started walking because it's not that smoky at that time.
You can still smell cigarette smoke, but what there is is a –
it ain't full, but there's a lot of people down there.
The bar was – the 10 guys at the bar, there's old ladies.
At 3.30.
And I told Dan –
Well, they're still there then, yeah.
Yeah, well, also – Well, I guess 5.30. And I told Dan... Well, they're still there then. Yeah, well, also...
Well, I guess 5.30 you might still be there.
Really sad look is
employees at the slot machine.
Because I
imagine they can't game while
they're on the clock.
But they're just getting off or about to start their
shift where they probably make nothing
and are underpaid or they're
beaten. And they're just like,
there's this lady with a walkie-talkie
and I made a loop,
which probably took me about five minutes, and she was there both
times. Just
sitting there, going for it, I guess.
Trying to double her salary.
As Matt said, the machine is due.
One more bad thing
about my room, the toilet paper was hung the wrong way.
Oh my god
And one more complaint about Jake
So this morning
Yes
I go buy that coffee
I gave the whole 76 cents
To Children's Charity
You probably cured one of them
Yeah whenever you hear that
Childhood cancer is cured
Remember this day
When you heard that I did it
So I'm walking up And yes One of the coffee you hear that childhood cancer is cured remember this day when you heard that i did it um so i'm
walking up and yes one of the coffee the the carrying thing they sent i don't know it was
loose anyway the coffee spilled on me not the one that i took into the mcdonald's to throw ice in so
it'll cool off so i could drink it right away this the really hot one spilled spilled right on me. And so now as that happens, it's all over the RV floor.
Blake springs into action.
He goes and gets the paper towels.
And then he's giving them to me, and he's wiping it up himself.
He's on his knees.
Rob springs into action.
He gets a bottle of water, and he starts pouring water on it to dissipate it
so it won't be so sticky.
So I'm looking at all these guys helping it and I look to my left then and here's the
biggest S-Eaton grin.
He is smiling, he's laughing, and he's videoing me.
You were?
Jake.
I need that.
You'll get it.
He's videoing, like all these other people are really concerned about me and the RV and the whole setup.
And Jake just can't wait to catch my demise and publicize.
And you will see in the video, once Dan looks up and realizes, I go, not really in the mood, huh?
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I mean, none of this would have happened if you had not mentioned just now that you spilled the coffee.
Blake and I weren't going to mention it.
Okay, good.
Whatever.
What else?
Yeah.
Do we have wild stories from Jake's birthday night?
No.
Yeah, what'd you do?
Did you get a hooker in Nevada?
No, Rob.
Oh, I forgot that was an option.
It's only at the place.
I don't know why people think that. It's not a Nevada rule. Oh, I thought that was an option. It's only at the place. I don't know why people think that.
It's not a Nevada rule.
Oh, I thought you could go to the vending machine.
Not even in Vegas.
I mean, you can do it, I'm sure, but it's just in that one county.
That's too bad.
Rob, Matt, myself went to the on-site New Mex restaurant, and it was fine.
It was good.
It wasn't anything to write home about, but it was nice.
Had a little New Mexico enchiladas with a little fried egg on top.
Okay.
Matt threw down.
I don't know if Rob was tracking that.
Matt actually used to live in Flagstaff.
Yes.
He might have told you guys that last night.
But he told me yesterday because I'm a little better friends with him.
Well, I think it was mostly just the two guys who went to dinner
with him and when he showed up he was like where are the guys i was like dude they just don't care
well he'll get used to that ask him where i am uh but he i'm just saying he's an animal yeah
he has piloted every minute of this journey with expert precision.
He picked the best food stops.
I wanted Subway.
I still haven't gotten over that.
He found the greatest sandwich I've ever eaten,
so much so that I want to stop there on the way back.
I don't know what our plans are, but let's make it happen.
It just seems great.
He finds the clean bathrooms, or at least parks next door to the one with
the clean bathroom remember the he'll so he'll you know um i would say thus far if we're gonna Right now, Matt Grimm is the DZ RV MVP.
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be tough to top.
He kept us alive.
It's a long week.
So we'll see.
Yeah.
If he can maintain, you know, a lot of guys.
Peak early.
You've seen Russell Wilson might have had a great October.
Yeah.
Mark Mulder. Yeah, he might a great October. Mark Mulder.
Yeah, he might end up being the Mark Mulder of the trip.
Yeah, it was a decent.
And then I just went right back to the room,
and I was asleep literally in probably 30 minutes.
And the question was over dinner.
And actually, it was before we went to dinner,
because the four of us were talking without you, Dan.
And I'm like, yo, what time can we leave?
Let's get going. I told you,
just text me and I'll be there. I know, and the consensus
was just
how early can we get Dan to leave? I was there
before you. You were?
Yeah. Yeah, Blake and I rolled up and there's Dan.
That's right.
At 8 a.m.
Yeah. See, to me, it was all you
have to tell me. We probably could have left earlier, but, you know.
No, everything turned out well.
We made it here on time, and now we can record here in the parking lot.
But we did start our recording at 4.07.
Yeah.
Dallas time.
I believe tomorrow is going to be normal.
We're going to try and make things as normal as we can.
Actually, no.
It's going to be kind of normal because they have a mock game,
and then we've got to do players.
Get off our ass!
We'll figure it out.
I did read a little bit about Don Laughlin.
Oh, from
Don Laughlin's hotel and casino?
In Laughlin, Arizona? Yeah.
I was like, yeah, did he found Laughlin, Arizona?
I was
another guy. Okay.
It was him. It was him.
It was him.
Okay, no, I don't know.
It's like a tiny town.
Do you think there's a coincidence?
I don't know.
I was just regretting picking that because we had the Golden Nugget or Harrah's to choose from.
We pick off brand.
I think you did fine.
No, they're all the same, man.
I'm telling you, the smell of desperation at Golden you did fine. They're all the same, man. I'm telling you,
the smell of desperation at Golden Nugget would have been exactly the same. I thought it was
weird that you... But you made the
right call. You saved us a lot of money.
But as I said to you, we were walking up and
I was like, I kind of can't believe you picked this place.
Right, no. And once
I was there, I'm like, okay, I can see why you said that
because this sucks. It's beaten. It's super, super
beaten.
Unless they want to advertise.
Don Laughlin, a native of Minnesota, worked in fur trapping as a youth.
Took the profits from that, bought some slot machines,
and put them in hunting lodges while he was in high school.
And he was making $500 a week back then.
We're talking like, I don't know, the 50s.
Principal gave him an ultimatum, either get out of school or get rid of the slot machines.
And he chose the slot machines.
So he was flying his plane near the Colorado River, which is where that strip of casinos are.
And he noticed that there's growth around that area and growth around Route 66 right
there.
And that was because I think they had put a dam up or something that allowed people
to move there.
And he bought a motel.
The Hoover Dam?
Was it that one?
No, I don't think so.
It's pretty close.
Yeah.
It was one I'd never heard of before.
Okay.
All right.
Is it the God Dam? Look, I don't think so. It's pretty close. Yeah. It was one I'd never heard of before. Okay, all right. Is it the God Dam?
Look, I liked it.
It's the Davis Dam, which was completed in 1951.
Dental Dam.
Okay.
Yep.
You know, sidebar, I don't even really know what that is.
I've seen it in a movie.
I can't remember which movie it is.
It's two guys trying to hook up with two girls.
The Dental Dam is supposedly something you can use to pleasure the girl.
It's like a condom for a girl.
Like for when you're going down on her?
Yeah, like you lay a rectangular.
Like a saran wrap almost, right?
Yeah, and then you can.
But what happened to it?
Was it ever a thing?
Like have you ever used one?
No, but I once had somebody in studio presenting us with sex toys or something,
and the dental dam was one of the things.
Like, this can help you not get AIDS.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's probably pretty hard to get AIDS from running through the open patch.
Hey, you got AIDS? Don't worry about it.
I got this saran wrap to lay on it, and I'm really into it.
Yeah, I mean, condoms are still, like, again, ubiquitous, right?
Everybody knows whether you use them or not.
But dental dam just kind of either never really popped, as it were, or just went away.
Maybe it just didn't.
It's hard enough for us down there.
I was going to say.
Without putting another barrier.
Yeah.
But whether they had scents, would it make it better?
Like, here's the Meadow dental dam.
Why'd you choose Meadow when you could choose, like, Big Mac?
Oh, you'd go savory?
A scent?
I'm just thinking, what's a nice smell?
Yeah, I mean, you're the one that put your mouth on it.
Big Mac.
McGriddle?
I'd get a calzone or something.
Yeah, he wouldn't go McGriddle.
But I would, yeah.
I might.
Yeah.
McGriddle.
Yeah, if they want to get us down there more.
Yeah, a little chicken piccata or something.
Lay a McGriddle dental dam if she's worried that Blake isn't going down there enough.
Order up.
I was thinking you'd want a salmon one, but it's kind of redundant.
No, no.
No, you want a break.
Would you like a microwave salmon smell?
No, you want a break, man.
So Don Laughlin
buys a motel.
There were eight rooms there.
He took four of them and flipped them into
tables and slot machine rooms
and his family lived in the other four.
Two years later, he had 12 machines,
four more rooms,
and the town of Laughlin received
its name when a U.S. Postal Service
employee, an inspector, asked him to give a name to the area so that the post office could get his mail.
Because his business was starting to grow and there's no city there.
And he suggested the name Riverside and Casino.
But the guy, the inspector, was Irish.
As you well know.
Do people still say the M word?
Is that a bad word?
The what word?
The M word for Irish people.
Mick?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I can say it.
I was going to say you, because that's why I asked you.
Yeah, I can say it.
Boy, and you did say it.
Yeah.
You dirty Mick.
I am a dirty Mick, so you're allowed to.
But that one's interesting, because there's not really like a word.
It's not like the end of the other N-word where there's like a hard and a not.
You can't really.
Right.
You can't do the A-H on the Mick.
Right.
Yeah.
And I'm glad.
Yeah.
So that guy was Irish, and he's like, oh, you're Irish too?
Why don't we keep it Laughlin?
So they named it Laughlin.
And now there's like.
See, that's his humble story on...
I didn't name it myself.
That's probably what happened, yeah.
This other Mick did.
And he died in Laughlin in October of 2023 at 92.
Oh, wow.
We just missed him.
For now.
Because his body was cryopreserved by Alcor Life Extension Foundation.
Which has the head of Ted Williams.
Okay. I'm into that. You know I am. Did a lot of Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which has the head of Ted Williams. Okay.
I'm into that.
You know I am.
Did a lot of Alcor reading this morning.
I do not want to be cremated.
A lot of people are like,
cremate me because it would be better for...
No, no, no.
I want to be cryo.
I want to be saved.
Did you ever watch that...
I want to be regenerated in 100 years.
How to with John Wilson on that?
At the conference?
Oh, yeah.
Very creepy. Yeah. And they've been that? Like the conference? Oh, yeah. Very creepy.
Yeah.
And they've been under – it's very shoddy technology.
It didn't help me.
Yeah.
I read a couple – a fiction book about it, and it sounded really great.
I watched that, and I'm like, oh, no.
Yeah.
Alcor Life Extension Foundation is the Don Laughlin Casino and Resort of Cryo Preservation.
Oh, yeah.
You're just like, I don't know.
Is there better?
There has to be better.
Yeah, because it's like they've been under a lot of scrutiny and trouble.
But, hey, you know what?
We got the job done.
We had a nice meal, slept.
For some reason, the gym doesn't open until 10, which is insane.
I did the really jerk move of doing jumping jacks in a hotel room.
I'm leaving. I don't care.
What are you going to do? Go complain?
You're really trying hard to
keep your gym stuff up, and I thought I would.
Dude, it's like
I'm doing like 25 minutes a day right now.
It's nothing. Okay, well, it's 25 minutes
more than I am. I'm walking
in the parking lot. And it's mainly because we're in
the RV, and I get like really I gotta move. I'm walking in the parking lot. And it's mainly because we're in the RV. And I get like really
I gotta move.
I walked across from the
Roadkill Cafe, which we saw
in whatever town that was. Oh yeah, the
fake Radiator Springs.
Yeah. Where my dad
once had a poster that he thought
was hilarious. Because they had
funny names
for Roadkill dishes.
Let's see if I can find one. But that's all I had
on Don Laughlin.
Alright, well that's good information.
Hey, thanks man. So we are at Cowboys Camp.
We actually already went out there.
We talked to a few players.
Everything went a lot smoother
than I thought it would. We've talked to a few
media guys as well.
Got a few guests lined up for later in the week.
I think it's going to be difficult to get players out here.
Yeah.
I think even, like, our good friend Brandon Aubrey, he's like,
oh, you're out there.
And then it's kind of like, eh.
Like, we didn't have the heart to even ask him.
No.
Not at that point either.
I don't think we need to do that.
But media guys or even
girls girls can be media guys yeah it uh it was nice to just get back in that driver's seat and
feel the hey guys wrap it up one more question i'm like all right dude how about three more i
work with dan now it's been two years of working with this guy. You don't scare me anymore. What if we tease ahead, did Micah recognize Jake?
That's a good tease.
Oh, Rob doesn't even know yet.
That's right.
We know.
We're not going to tell you.
Are we playing that today?
Have it whenever you want it.
You could tease it for like ten seconds from now if you want.
I don't care.
So did
Micah? Yeah, no.
I was counting down in my head.
You want to do it?
So yeah, we were out on the
practice field.
And we would like to do some video
stuff later in the week
as well.
We always describe what this whole scene is like, but we'd like to video the whole scene.
Yeah, people need to see it.
The tennis courts where we always will broadcast from, but even the walk-up.
The midway.
Because, yes, Rob, in fact, was pretty surprised.
He hasn't been here for quite a few years, and it's quite different, isn't it?
Just, yes, there's now a midway.
You're literally walking through.
It's a carnival.
Yeah, concession stands, Kona ice, like places to stop and take selfies in front of Cowboy stuff.
Did you see the stuff on the right where you can, like, throw the football through the hole and win a little prize?
Yeah, obviously gear for days.
Oh, my gosh. If you want a hot dog, you've come to the right place.
Yep.
And you know what?
I'm going to get one.
Yeah, then you walk.
You can get to the stands where you can watch practice or the mock game,
which I have understood.
I was excited about the mock game tomorrow.
Yeah, I probably.
And somebody urinated on it for me and said, it's just a walkthrough.
Yeah.
It's not really anything.
It's the walkthrough that they usually do on a Saturday.
Yeah, and it's because they have the Rams thing the next day.
Yeah, so they're just walking through.
We don't even have to go to that.
We'll just be there for players.
So we might be regular time tomorrow.
The mock game?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes, and then
the Rams mini
little practice. Joint practice or is that
actually going to be like a scrimmage?
It's both.
That's where you
get the potential for fights. There will be fights.
I was going to say, there's probably going to be a fight.
And that's Thursday and I think
we'll be out pretty early
that day because we want to record before the whole thing.
Yeah, that Giants-Lions fight, they've had two of them.
Yeah, Malik Nabors tried to take on the entire Lions secondary.
I didn't see that.
Yeah, and then Amon Ross St. Brown the day before.
Got attacked and really no one.
Is that on Hard Knocks?
Well, it starts tonight, so it won't be on there.
And that's the Bears.
This is just stuff that was coming out on Twitter.
Okay, I didn't know if it was from the midseason.
Okay, we did the offseason.
Yeah, yeah, no, but they've been fighting each other.
Yeah, there'll be a little scuffle.
That makes sense, right?
Dan Campbell.
Yeah.
Like he wants his players to fight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He seems like that's the Parcells tree.
Yeah.
I think Parcells would actually tell certain guys in practice,
I want you to go, you know, do something.
Take a fight with this guy.
Yeah.
Like, on the same team.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
So, tomorrow, mock game.
The next day, we'll be here for the Rams.
But today, we just kind of walked out there.
And, yeah, it's even different from a couple years ago when I was here.
They have way more VIP and sponsor stuff.
Yeah.
Which, obviously, they probably prefer because
there's an economic incentive to it, whether
it's paid or it's, you know, greasing the
skids. And it's a good thing they have it
because if that entire area on the one
sideline that's now VIP was open,
this would look even more depressing than it already
does. There's a clear difference.
The rumors are true. Zeke was right.
For a full padded
practice, where they're like live,
I mean, we got to watch
10% full, the fans?
Or the stands? 10 to 15, something
like that. I've never seen it before
maybe below 75%.
Dude, the first time I came out here, when they're walking
off the field, it is four deep
on each sideline, and
particularly on that sideline where they walk into the
locker room. All the way from
the goal line to
the other 40, four deep.
I mean, we've heard the audio. We've played on the
ticket before.
The time that guy
in front of Donovan was calling
that area the ghetto
because it was the place where
they're harder to get autographs or something. He's like, we just call it that. It's ghetto because it was like the place where they're harder to get
autographs or something.
He's like, yeah, we just call it that.
It's not because you...
None of that today. None of it.
So we walk up.
We see Brandon Aubrey.
He's immediately whisked away.
He did recognize us.
Of course he did.
That one I was not worried about.
No, it's nice.
That guy is such a good dude. Yeah, he is.
Two seconds of small talk. So he's leaving
right after the
game because his wife is
very, very pregnant.
And so he's leaving
right after the game and then he's going to...
Their plan is that she has that baby
and then
he's back here before the next game.
He's like, I don't want him to even sign anybody just to kick for a day.
I'm like, you're the AP kicker.
Yeah, dude, you know how that can turn quick.
And when I said to him, I was like, I bet your wife wants you back out here too.
Oh, to make sure we keep that job.
Yeah, so he was whisked away, and then Micah's just standing there,
and Blake's like, hey, Micah.
And he was talking to somebody that he apparently knew,
didn't seem cowboy affiliated, like a friend, something.
They probably talked for 10 minutes, and I'm just kind of lurking.
Then he, of course, had to sign a couple footballs,
and the PR guy was already kind of in, like, we're done with this mode,
and then Dan went in.
Hey, Micah.
You remember my buddy, Jake?
Is there any chance you remember who I am?
Oh, yeah.
High Spice.
Oh, man.
He remembered.
I also bought you a book of feet pictures.
I forgot that.
How you doing?
Doing well.
We drove an RV here from Texas.
We literally just...
24 hours.
We literally just got here.
RV's not too bad, though.
Yeah, RV's better than the bus.
Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't too bad. Yeah RV's better than the bus Yeah Wasn't too bad
Tired of this yet?
Huh?
I'm always tired
Still young though sir
I'm not trying to hold you up
I think one day
Whenever y'all are coming up here
We can get like three minutes
Yeah sure
I don't want to do it
Do your thing right now
For sure
I'll grab you one of these
Next few days
Pizza Hut sent me a jacket too
I got it at the Airbnb.
I still got my Pizza Hut jacket.
What did you say there?
I still got my Pizza Hut jacket.
Okay.
Yeah, when I told him I had mine.
So, yeah, right away, Dan's like, do you know my friend?
He's like, oh, yeah, Hot Spice.
Yeah.
Hey, Micah, you remember my buddy, Jake?
Is there any chance you remember who I am?
Oh, yeah, Hot Spice.
Oh, yeah, Hot Spice.
So what that is, Rob, is three years ago we were at the Super Bowl,
three, four years ago, and he walked around at the Super Bowl media row.
They will walk people around and say, hey, we're here for this product,
and it was Pizza Hut.
So you can have Micah, but you have to pimp Pizza Hut's new thing.
I'm like, I'll do it without Micah.
So it was the hot, like the flakes or something, right?
Well, it was a spicier sauce.
Spicy marinara.
It was a spicier marinara.
So the pizza itself was already hot.
Yeah, and the toppings were a little bit spicier.
It was a spicier pepperoni, and it was magical.
But then there was also the flakes.
Red pepper flakes, and it was magical. But then there was also the flakes. Red pepper flakes, yeah.
And so apparently the bit was he would walk, he has a full pizza,
he would offer it to whatever spare radio host from whatever city.
They would take a little bite and be like, oh, it's so hot, you know,
like that bit on the internet, the hot ones or whatever.
Oh, yeah.
On the one chip.
Or no, like the wing thing.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, Rich Eisen like spit it out.
Yeah, like it's just – and everybody is like, ooh, oh, man, that's tough.
And oh, wow, okay, so you're pimping this thing?
That's great.
Go to Pizza Hut and get this.
Micah, what was the season like and all this?
So he hands it to Jake, and Jake takes like a big bite, and he's like, whoa.
And then Jake's like, well, give me some of those pepper flakes.
And he poured it on like you could not see the pizza under it.
It's so thick.
And then Jake just continued to eat it.
And this guy's like, whoa, this guy's crazy.
This guy's a maniac.
Then we took the top off.
Yeah.
And just dumped it on.
I ate five, six slices of pizza while we were interviewing him.
Don't think we ever really talked football.
No.
And then, yes, he said, like, he told his Pizza Hut people, mail him a jacket.
He had a Pizza Hut, like, 80s baseball jacket.
The red.
It's red.
Silky.
Yeah, and it said Micah in cursive.
And he got one that says Jake, right?
Yeah.
I mean, I felt weird doing it, but I DM'd him like two weeks later.
He never replied to it, but I just laid it out.
I was like, dude, I want one of those jackets.
Oh, you asked for it.
Okay.
Well, I was like, I just reminded him.
Oh, he said, I'm going to get you a jacket.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then a couple weeks later, I DM'd him and I'm like, hey, this may be weird, but
if you were serious about that, I want that jacket.
He never replied.
I never talked to anyone from Pizza Hut.
I didn't email Pizza Hut.
But, like, a week later, a jacket showed up at my house with my name on it and a card that said something like, you know, like, this jacket is better than something.
I don't remember.
They also gave me a gift card.
And now I have the jacket.
It's at the Airbnb.
So I'll wear it out here whatever day we think we can get him.
Hotspice.
I'm going to demand that you guys start calling me that.
Hotspice.
And he remembers.
Yeah.
It was cool.
A little bit concerning that he's like, I'm literally tired all the time.
He did not look happy.
No.
That's why I was a little bit worried that he was going to be like, just leave me alone.
Yeah.
But he wasn't.
But he looked beaten.
Zimmer guy's up my ass.
Yeah.
All the time.
Yeah.
My best buddy is gone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it was cool, though.
We did
talk to a couple of other cowboys.
We talked to Brandon Aubrey at length.
And then we talked to one
Luke Schoonmaker. Yeah.
So we've got those ready for you for
tomorrow. For the future.
Or when we choose. That's right.
Whenever we're able to get our act together.
The media party
is tonight.
And a lot of
big talk on the way down.
Oh, this mother...
About
going to the media party.
I was
scouting it out and realizing my weaknesses
and realizing it's 50-50 at best if I'll make it.
It was never 50-50.
And you know that.
It was 50-50.
Boy, this guy.
Anyway.
Rewriting.
Yeah.
We were planning on going and we're not going.
We're not going because we then kind of mapped it out and it's an hour and 20 minute drive, I believe.
And it's not till, I don't even think it starts until what, 7 p.m. Eastern?
Or excuse me, Central Time?
It's 6 Pacific.
8 Dallas.
Okay, so 8 Dallas.
Yeah, so we're trying to stay somewhat.
Even if you got there the second that it opened.
Yeah. Okay, so eight Dallas. Yeah, so we're trying to stay somewhat. Even if you got there the second that it opened, you'd have to stay at least an hour just to kind of –
because you're only going to get the –
Free food.
Delicious Nobu sushi.
It is wonderful.
It is wonderful.
But then let's say you leave at nine Dallas time.
What they do is at Nobu, they hand you just the little piece of rice,
and you go walk out to the ocean next to it,
and sometimes just, yeah, something will jump out and land right on it,
and then you eat it.
That's how fresh it is.
It's incredible.
It's quite magical.
But, yeah, now we're getting home and staying up late.
We're trying to stay on the regular time.
We're trying to record at regular times.
It's just not worth it.
No, I'll bet if it was two days from now, you would go.
We just rolled in on F&RV, dude.
I was doing the math in my head, and I'm like,
is it worth it for me, Blake, and Rob,
because that's all it would have been,
to not have to pay for dinner?
Basically, you're talking about like $50.
Well.
Well, it's Nobu.
You would have eaten $200.
$300 worth of sushi.
Absolutely.
But he's saying $50.
Everywhere else.
I do like playing that game in my head of how much.
Yeah.
Oh, you would come out way ahead.
Yeah, for sure.
There's no doubt.
But then, you know, it's a drive.
I don't want to be driving anymore today.
I just don't.
I want to go to Vaughn's.
I don't want to drive again ever.
I want to get a shrimp burrito.
Yeah.
If you have to drive across the country, though, this is way, way better than certainly if
we were in a bus.
Yeah, it depends on the bus.
Not even bus people.
But even if it was like a nice bus.
Like a tour bus?
It wouldn't be like this, though.
You can lay down in this thing, man.
This is great.
Yeah. I love my little nook up there. A tour bus be like this, though. You can lay down in this thing. Man, this is great. Yeah.
I love my little nook up there.
A tour bus has, like, this times three.
Okay, well, then I've never been on a tour bus.
I've been on, like, a Dallas Stars bus or something.
No, yeah.
Those are not for us.
Okay, those are very nice.
They're very nice, but those are for...
Yeah, those are chartered.
Yeah.
Charter bus.
But, no.
The only bad thing about this was the generator going out would make it a bit too hot back here.
The area between or behind my knee, you could honestly, you could probably climax right now if you started humping it.
It's that wet.
Nice.
Like, if I just held it out right now.
Hand me the dental damper.
And you went for it.
What does that do for anyone?
I don't know.
But, yeah, laying back there in the bunk, that was nice.
Yeah.
And it's really nice to be able to spread out and lay down, but just too sweaty, man.
Yeah.
It's just too hot.
And that's where, you know, where I'm like, maybe driving would be fun because I'm right there.
That air conditioning always works.
Yeah.
But I could not handle this thing.
I wouldn't let you.
We let the men do it.
I would not be in this with you driving.
I wouldn't want to be in that position.
Like, I would let Rob drive.
Yeah.
But maybe Blake.
May have gotten here faster if you drove.
May have gotten here faster.
Although Matt, he's clocking. Yeah. It doesn't look like Matt's shy about that. No, he here faster if you drove. May have gotten here faster. Although Matt.
He was clocking.
Yeah.
It doesn't look like Matt's shy about that.
No, he gets his RPMs up.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, you guys want to do a brief Olympics?
How does that sound?
Brief Olympics or Black Olympics?
Should we mention to the people our idea?
Sure.
That is about 1% complete.
So once upon a time, there was a radio show featuring two white men and one black man.
And because they were not three white guys they had a pass to do things at a barber shop on juneteenth like a chicken tasting challenge or a red drink tasting challenge
um but that's not the case anymore so thinking about that and thinking about marty b's black
olympics which was essentially more of a, not a discerning blindfold taste testing.
It was more of a competition.
Like, how much of this can you eat?
How much of this can you drink?
And it was things like we mentioned.
Chicken.
Red drink.
Other stereotypical black foods.
We have an idea to do a video, something in the neighborhood of melding those two things together
for the White Olympics.
And I'm trying to think.
Well, I think it started because Blake was saying
he's been buying up this, is this Arrowhead water?
We have tons of water.
Right, Rob bought like the Kroger.
It's not Arrowhead.
He goes into the store, comes out with a 24-pack.
What's the one you like?
Arrowhead.
Oh, okay, yeah.
I'm saying that Kroger water is not that wonderful stuff you have in your hand.
So what this says on it, it says 100% mountain spring water.
And, yeah, so Jake is bagging on him like,
hey, why do you keep buying water at these gas stations, dude?
And Blake is like, well, this water is mountain spring water.
I can tell the difference.
Well, we're going to find out as part of the White Olympics.
This is a white thing, a taste test on bottled water.
Yeah, anytime I get around the Rocky Mountains or west of it, I get Arrowhead.
This is a guy who's traveled a lot in the Group of Five conferences.
And in fact, yeah, when we do travel, I'll bring a case back with me.
Even when we go to Colorado, I'll bring it back.
Yeah, it's a little
crisper. It's nice. It's easy
to drink. So the first one that sprang to mind
for me as we started... Do you agree or can you not
tell a difference?
Well, my head tells me
I can't like the generic water.
But I don't know if I can
tell.
We'll find out.
As we started trying to think about this,
obviously the first thing that sprang to mind for me was mayonnaise.
Guilty as charged as a white who just absolutely loves mayonnaise.
I don't love it, but I think I could tell mayonnaise from... Miracle Whip?
Yeah.
Okay.
Hellman's versus –
So we need your help with white foods.
What are some other things that we can do?
White foods, drinks, condiments.
I mean, obviously, the thing that is charged often,
but I don't think it holds if you're a white in the South.
And for purposes of this exercise, I'm going to call Texas the South,
even if it isn't, which is a lack of seasoning,
which I didn't know anything about until I was in high school
because my family seasons the bejesus out of stuff and always has.
We're Southern.
How are we going to do that one?
I don't know.
That's the problem with that one.
But I'm just saying if you say white people food,
one of the first things you're going to hear is no seasoning.
And that's just never been.
But certainly a stereotype might be caviar.
Yeah, no, we were going to do.
Taste test, but I don't even know.
Yeah, just help us with it, you know.
Yeah, there might be nothing here.
Yeah, maybe not.
Wish you would have stopped me as I was explaining it.
Before you were like, yeah, go ahead.
So it would have been useful.
Just a couple of Olympic things here.
One, like three of the top gymnastics, female gymnasts in America,
all fell off the balance beam.
Oh, really?
Did you hear about this, folks?
Did you see this?
oh really did you hear about this folks did you see this um yeah because i think they ended up finishing fifth and sixth suny lee fell too they they all fell in like the same spot on the beam
so some people were like hey something must be something wrong with the beam conspiracy but what
she said was afterward for whatever reason in this particular competition on this particular day,
they were telling the crowd, they were like shushing the crowd golf style.
And when they were celebrating with their teammates after one of them did their run,
they would tell them to quiet down.
And I saw a quote from Suni Lee where she was like, I could hear myself breathe up there.
And that's bothersome to them? Yeah. And I saw a quote from Suni Lee where she was like, I could hear myself breathe up there. Hmm. Which is not.
That's bothersome to them?
Yeah.
I mean.
Oh, okay.
Because when they practice, you know, they play music and it's loud.
If you ever go to like a real gymnastics practice, it's pretty bumping.
Okay.
A lot going on.
All right.
That makes sense then.
So, yeah.
I was thinking about your thing on free throws.
Yeah.
That's my theory of instead of screaming loudly and waving your arms,
that's what they're used to.
Yeah.
What if you could somehow get an arena to go dead silent?
Every time.
And I think Oklahoma City could pull it off
because they could do that pregame for the prayer.
And they just have a tremendous amount of buy-in.
Yeah, they'll all wear the white shirts, all that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
I just got to get into an organization to convince them of this.
I don't think that's going to be the one.
Yeah.
But the other thing I wanted to show you guys is a video that I saw online.
I guess this is kind of today in Twitter too, but I'll just call it the Olympics.
Have you guys watched any of the table tennis?
Yes.
I might know the one that you're going to show.
It was incredible.
Probably so.
Yeah.
How many of these can there be?
Well, yeah.
How many viral things?
It's bonkers.
And I looked it up.
The table is nine feet long.
So the net in the middle, four and a half feet.
Nine feet. So less table is nine feet long. So the net in the middle, four and a half feet. Nine feet.
So less than a basketball goal long.
I feel like I've played on table tennis, ping pong tables that were bigger than that.
It does not look normal to me.
It looks small.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
It is only five feet wide.
Okay.
And two and a half feet high.
It just feels like
they're extremely compact
whenever they're doing this.
We'll play it. You can react to it if you want.
I guess it'll be up there.
The speed is insane.
It looks like the hardest sport in the world to me.
Dude. Were we talking about the world to me.
Dude.
Yeah, were we talking about the women's team the other day?
I don't think so.
They won, right?
With the basketball players?
Yeah.
The crowd is insane.
I know.
Did we talk about that?
Yeah, I think so.
But that is just, dude, the reaction time on that is,
that looks like the hardest thing in the world to me.
Yeah.
But did we talk about the fact that they were like,
they were going up to the women's team asking,
could we get one point off of you?
Something like that.
Yeah.
And the women's team was just laughing at him.
Like, there's no way you could.
Like, Steph Curry thinks he's great.
And Anthony Edwards does too. Yeah.
He's like, you have no shot.
Also, I saw somebody, I believe most of the American female team is of Chinese heritage or descent.
Yes.
And somebody was like, man, the only thing that's beaten China at table tennis is China.
All five women have some Chinese background.
I watched this entire thing twice and just was mesmerized.
How?
Are you going to play the viral one?
I don't know it, I guess.
Oh, I thought, okay, that's not the one.
Okay, did you guys see the viral one?
This one had like a zillion, but I would.
There was one guy that somehow, there was one falling off the.
Yeah, doubles.
How?
Somehow, there was one falling off the... Yeah, doubles.
How?
There was one falling off the edge,
and he went down, flipped it up.
It goes real high in the air,
and it bounced on that guy's side,
but then it had backspin on it and bounced back
to where he couldn't...
Like, you can somehow...
There's a name for it.
That's stupid. I'll find that for you for somehow, there's a name for it. That's stupid.
I'll find that for you for tomorrow.
I thought that was the one.
No, I just watched.
This is a long, this is just a compilation of all of them from this.
No, that's it.
Right there.
Watch.
Any way to rewind that or no?
Okay.
Watch.
So he flips it up.
It bounces, but then back.
Oh, how?
Because you can, there's some, like in tennis, you know how you can put a spin on something
and it'll curve or whatever.
So this thing, it's spun the other way.
Wow.
Freaking knuckleball.
Hits his side and bounces back.
So, yeah.
All right.
All right.
Well, there's your Olympic update for the day.
Oh.
Yes.
When's this Olympics over?
I think it's this weekend, right?
Okay.
Or like maybe Friday.
Are we going to have like a watching party?
Yeah, I'm not planning on it,
but unless they get more trans people at that ceremony,
and then I'll watch it.
That's right. No, I want them to desecrate the Koran during the closing ceremony.
Yeah, I want them to do that.
Let's get this thing all even.
How about before a break, I'll do today's viewer mail.
Hey, everybody, it's time to answer some of today's viewer mail.
Let's see.
You guys got any?
I got some.
A couple.
I'll end with birthdays.
I'll start with
a day one subby debate.
Hi Dan, ask Blake if day ones could be anyone
who signed up within 24
hours of the Patreon launch.
This is from DF Jeff
who identifies as a day one subbie.
So he's upset because apparently
we launched
at 3pm on a day.
4pm.
That's going to get messy.
And then it was like close of business that day gets you a day one
yet there's many people
that did it within 24 hours
this is a big debate in the community
yeah well
no
the ruling has
been laid down
you gotta go with the parts you were born with
that's where you go to the bathroom
alright
let's see oh how about this to go with the parts you were born with. That's where you go to the bathroom. Alright.
Let's see. Oh,
how about this? Hola, Tio Hotmail. Enjoying the high
altitude, high tea, low rent
sewed from the DZRV.
I just saw some very cinematic
footage of you carrying
an unusual amount of luggage
into a casino.
And I was curious if anyone has mistaken you for Steven Paddock.
Whoa.
From beyond the beef curtain, Brandon.
Nice.
And so I went and looked at our social media.
I at least looked at Twitter, and I'm like, wait.
Oh, no.
I don't see any video of me.
I know I had an awkward carrying of this giant.
I loved it because you were walking through with all your stuff,
and there's just slot machines and lights going on, and you're just like.
I'm so tired.
You're so beaten.
I've been on an RV.
We did a program.
Yeah.
You know, it was like, I don't know.
It felt like it was 2 in the morning.
It was like 8 o'clock at night.
He filmed you?
Did you put this out?
Like, I didn't see where it was.
It's on our Instagram.
He's grinding.
Damn, Instagram.
Dude, you're not safe.
If you thought me with the coffee was bad, just don't even look at it,
because he's constantly messing with us on there.
It's his little playground.
And I'm always worried about Rob.
Oh, yeah, you should be.
Rob's always got recording going on somehow, somewhere.
Like, we'll know at the end of the week. There's always got recording going on somehow, somewhere.
We'll know at the end of the week.
There'll be a hostile takeover at some point.
Succession style.
Do you want to see it?
No.
All right.
You're just walking through the casino in your luggage.
That's all?
It was a lot of luggage just for one night.
It's just funny.
I'm not out to get you.
I bring all my stuff in every time.
I just don't.
I like to have all my stuff based on the way I'm packed.
And I packed more than you guys for this trip.
Probably not me.
Just because I brought my own, obviously, blanket.
Obviously, pillow, which you guys regret not bringing yours.
Yeah.
Well, I did until I stole one from Don Laughlin's River Resort and Casino. Don Laughlin is short one pillow?
Yeah.
Oh, that's it? Okay.
The epitome of a hotel pillow.
It is a hotel pillow, but you know what?
And I brought my own towel.
Because I don't like to use a hotel towel.
That's weird.
People are funny critters.
I also had
a Steven Paddock reference, by the way.
I dig it. Jeff said, hey, could you
send me the code for Factor Foods?
Factor Meals, right?
Yeah. I can't recall or
find which show had the spot, and I was just gonna ask,
like, do you put that in, like, the show
notes?
We can going forward.
Yeah. Yeah, we need a place for our coupon codes to live.
Well...
You call it coupon or coupon?
The promo code, folks, is DumbZone50.
DumbZone, no space, 5-0.
You'll get 50% off your first box.
I think you got to go to factormeals.com slash DumbZone50.
Okay.
And then use DumbZone50.
Okay, you'll figure it out. How about that? I'm positive you will. Well, I thought that was helpful, right? But the answer is Dumb dumbzone50. Okay. And then use dumbzone50. Okay. You'll figure it out.
How about that?
I'm positive you will.
Well, I thought that was helpful, right?
But the answer is dumbzone50.
I thought what I added to Jake, I think I was just enhancing.
I think you did great.
I was trying to enhance what you said.
Then you'll get 20% off your next month.
And, dude, they're legit.
They really are.
Do you want me to finish this out?
I had just birthdays left.
Do you have non-birthday stuff?
Well. yeah.
My one more thing.
We have the same thing.
The bet payoff thing?
Yeah.
Oh, go ahead.
Oh, well, somebody sent us an idea for a bet payoff for picks,
which will be coming around soon.
And Charlie found some information on a particular cruise.
Of course, we know about the Kid Rock cruise.
There's the Leonard Skinner cruise.
There's even the Dude Perfect cruise.
And this one is for all the Sterlingites.
This is the Lindsey Sterling cruise, which there's a flyer for up there you may see.
You embark on a magical voyage at sea with Lindsey Sterling.
This is real?
Yeah. Interactive activities with Lindsey Stirling. This is real? Yeah.
Interactive activities with Lindsey's band and crew.
You can do breath work, yoga, meditation.
Real manly stuff.
That feels like stuff that Lindsey Stirling fans would do.
Oh, there's an open mic night.
Yeah, open mic.
You can pop up there and show the world what you're made of.
Wow.
The guy who, whenever we were talking about doing a payoff of having to do stand-up,
was like, what are we thinking?
Like 40, 45 minutes?
I wanted it to be a punishment.
I was like, dude, what do you think you're going to get?
That's like a Netflix special.
That's around my birthday.
Maybe a birthday present.
45 minutes.
Get a clue.
Q&A with Lindsay?
Oh, my.
I couldn't even imagine what I'd ask her.
What's it like playing the violin?
What's it like being a Sterlingite, buddy?
I don't think I want to go on a cruise
with them. Interactive activities
with Lindsay's band and crew.
Not with her.
But you get a Q and A though.
What's it like to just be close to her every night?
Is that pretty cool?
Yeah, so
Charlie, the reason obviously we can't make it a bet payoff
is because Blake would throw the whole league.
I would tank.
It says open mic night.
That's what I'm saying.
He can hop up there and nail a tight five.
That's right.
Sorry.
Damn it.
So, yeah, I think it's not necessarily about uh bet payoff our buddy akash had some
ideas we've been texting about just for growing subs uh and since today's episode is free it
would normally be paid he's like you guys need to set milestones for things you'll do it you know
like for example the what's the mushroom one ten thousand ten thousand what was his ten thousand
he had to drink a yard beer.
Yeah, yeah.
A yard beer,
but things like that.
Seems like I got an easier one.
Like if we get 8,000,
then we send Blake on this cruise
type thing.
It still costs money,
but at the end of the day,
you know,
it's content and we're growing
and then the money keeps coming in.
We have to like have things
we're going to do
at certain markers.
Just an idea.
My last viewer mail comes to us from
he used to go by P1N.
I'm not really sure what he goes by
now.
He's a very smart man.
He's like a scientist.
He knows about numbers
and he knows a lot about the weather and physics.
You know N.
Oh yeah. He heard us talking about the weather and physics. You know N. Oh, yeah.
And he heard us talking about the heat dome.
And he sent a pretty long email.
And I thought it was funny because he sent like four or five sentences that I don't understand at all.
And then he's like trying to put it in layman's terms.
And he says to put it in DZ terms.
And I think at this point he thought, now I'm going to say it like a normal person with a normal brain would understand.
And he said, when air sinks in the atmosphere under an area of strong high pressure, that air compresses and heats up.
The stronger the sinking motion in the upper atmosphere, the more heating takes place as the air sinks toward the surface of the earth.
The opposite is true when air rises.
That process is called adiabatic cooling.
That is the reason. I'm like, dude, I thought you said you were putting it in dumb zone termsatic cooling. That is the reason.
I'm like, dude, I thought you said you were putting it in dumb zone terms.
Yeah.
What is this?
Yeah, I didn't make it through the whole email.
Yeah, but at the end, he did something that a lot of people do.
Most recently, one of our lawyers, who works in a lot of trademark law,
they hear us bumbling around, you know, being the dumb zone.
That's why you come here.
And they say things like, hey, when this stuff comes up,'ll just feel i'll be your expert yeah call me call me and then same
thing with with nick he's like yeah i will offer to be your physics and science expert to the dumb
zone if you have any questions and i'm not trying to be rude i love both the people that are uh
involved here i've met p1N many times. Great dude.
First of all, you don't want us knowing stuff because then the whole gig is up.
Right? And second of all...
Change the name.
How do these people think this is going to work?
Because this is not an uncommon thing.
You know when I know what stories I'm doing for the news?
That day's show in the morning.
Am I supposed to be like, I've got to get to the bottom
of this heat dome thing?
Call Nick!
We don't need any advice on anything because we like it this way.
Well, I like the email advice, though.
I like learning about it later that night.
Okay, but I didn't learn.
I like the attempt.
Yeah.
I like the effort.
And he's given us a lot of great stuff over the years.
I'm mostly kidding.
It's just a lot of people are like, let me be your such and such expert.
I'm like, how are we going to do that?
How?
Anyways. Only two birthdays.
Dan, I'm a day two
Chicago DF here.
Subscriber number 644.
I'm
celebrating my 39th birthday today.
Jake, you're welcome for
not forcing you to do any sports math.
I'm currently flying to Amsterdam to celebrate,
so if you have any last-minute hot tips or suggestions from your time here,
I'm all ears from Mark.
Yeah, stay home.
What is wrong with you?
Isn't your suggestion don't have a gummy before the bike tour?
Yeah, it wasn't me, but somebody I know very well
had a big problem with that because the bikes,
we didn't even do a tour.
We just rented the bikes.
It's basically like getting on 635.
It's chaos.
Yeah.
There's so many bikes.
And they know that you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah.
And generally a pretty pleasant people.
The tour helps.
That's what I'm saying.
Yes.
But if you're not on a tour.
She told us all the rules.
I mean,
legit, dude. It would be like what we did
would seriously be like never having
driven a car outside of
a go-kart
and flying to America,
renting a car with
no driver's license, and
just hopping on 635.
It's that hectic.
And then you add on to that,
somebody in your traveling party is having a panic attack.
Oh, no.
Because of said gummy.
Yeah, my panic attack actually occurred in,
there's a place that's in, I think it's in Oceans 12.
They call them a coffee shop.
They do have coffee, but, you know, they also have pre-rolls.
And, um.
Hell yeah, man.
It's called Domkring.
I think it's spelled like damp kring.
It's in the movie.
We were like, we want to check this one out.
It's famous.
And it was a really, really cool spot.
There were two things that happened that really caused me problems.
There was a cat in the window sill that was right by where we were
sitting at the bar and i thought it was fake because for the first hour we were there it
didn't move and then it got up and walked off and i'm like oh and now after you had yeah okay and
i'm like i freaked me out and then uh i swear this is a low point in my life, but about 30 minutes after that, there was a guy in there, and he was kind of loud, at least I thought he was.
And I was so paranoid that I leaned over my wife, and I was like, I think that guy's going to blow this place up.
I was like, I'm kind of catching bits and pieces of what he's saying, and I think we need to go.
And we did.
Did he?
Not to my knowledge.
Did he blow the place up?
Okay, you would have heard about that.
He might have heard me sniffing out his plan.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
No, I think you just...
Man, I love that place.
Not even for just like the...
The Red Light District is a novelty or...
Yeah, it was a bit.
Just the fact that you can just...
The fact that people travel via the canals.
Like, just post up by the canal and enjoy all of it.
Smell it all up.
The train to get there was great.
Yes.
Beautiful.
Let's do it, Blake.
Or you could just stay home.
How many subs for us to go to Amsterdam?
Stay home and recruit a five-star from Georgia.
9,000 subs.
Oh, what's this?
40 time.
You going to send the house?
I might.
Hello, Uncle Juice Wallet.
Day 1 DF number 61.
Please wish happy 85th birthday to my grandmother, Betty.
I listen to y'all while visiting her in the old folks' home.
I think it confuses her.
She says more Blake.
Oh, thank you.
She is confusing.
Thank you, Betty.
As an aside, don't moosh your girlfriend in Missionary.
Yeah.
It does not go well.
Just wanted to pass this PSA along from Nick.
Oh, man.
You might be kind of able to get away with it if you're doing, like, a hand support thing
and she can't see it, but then you just kind of, like, turn your hands out, like when you're
doing, like, push-ups out, push-ups in, and you just kind of move them in closer to her
ears.
Missionary moosing.
Speaking of moosing, too,
Jordan,
she's a
day 11. She apologizes.
Hey.
We just want a chance to earn your business.
She has a moose story
that she wants you to read
because it's
kind of erotica.
She says it'll be good for you.
Female in a moose.
So I don't think we have time today, but eventually we will.
See this.
She wrote a really long moose story where she was involved in moosing.
Oh.
How about that?
I'm interested.
A nice lady.
I'll bet you are.
Damn, I am rock hard.
Yeah.
So, Jordan, I just want you to know it's
received.
We're teasing this ahead,
though. You're teasing me.
So you could have a free agent
that, and
rather than have that free agent,
that free agent would cost you as much as three other players would cost you.
Well, we're going to be all in with the three other players.
But is that?
That's all in.
That's my point.
The definition of all in might be a trade like we didn't make or we didn't sign a player
last year or two years ago that we ended up with three players for. That's all-in. What
we're talking about now is what did I mean when we said all-in. Okay, your definition
of what is all-in and mine might not be the same thing, but I'm trying
to win the games this year with my decision.
So I'm all in to this year.

Speaking of.
Ambiguity.
Thank you so much to our fine friends at Addison Coffee Roasters.
AddisonCoffee.com.
That's right.
Lean into this.
They hooked us up.
Yeah, once we get to the Airbnb.
Oh, it smells so good.
Rob said if we had that Addison coffee, I wouldn't have spilled it.
Yeah, you would have known the value.
You would have known the value. Hey, I have two things.
One,
Jerry walked past us today
when we were not on the field,
when we were just getting ready.
Blake noticed.
For some reason, Blake was surprised that he has an iPhone.
I wasn't.
I mean, it's, you know,
he's not, as I said, he's not Norm. He's probably got a burner has an iPhone. I wasn't. I mean, it's, you know, he's not,
as I said, he's not Norm. He's probably got a burner iPhone, too. Probably. Yeah.
Probably. At least one.
Now, he almost certainly has
72-point font.
Oh, yeah. Like, whenever I would
go cover Mavericks games
and I would see the row below me,
there's two rows of media, and, like, I
could... The old guys all had the new...
I knew every single thing they were texting their wife
or whoever they were texting.
You knew who was cheating on their wife?
Yeah, because it was huge.
That guy wasn't texting his wife.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But that's...
And no case, right?
No case, yeah.
Is that what you were going to bring up?
Yeah, yeah.
And I learned today that Blake is barebacking his iPhone,
which makes me...
My brother did that.
And you know what?
My brother's iPhone was always broken.
Well, I had a case for it forever, but then it got messed up, so I took it out.
And then just holding it and playing around with it, I kind of like it.
And he told us that it worries him, but he likes the worry.
The juice.
Do you guys get the insurance?
I think so.
Because I do not.
I don't.
For the juice.
That's why I don't.
I mean, I think I justify it.
Like, if you prorate it, which is how you pay for it usually anyways,
it's, like, negligible.
Or is that the word?
I don't know, but I don't do it.
It's like an extra whatever, $100 for the year.
I know, but if you're paying it for, you know,
it's like if it's $5 a month or something,
then $6 a month it seems like.
But I just figure I've had an iPhone forever,
and I've never needed it, so I'm playing the eye.
Do you do insurance on your flight?
Depends.
It depends.
If there's a flight that I'm kind of worried something might come up, I will.
But I would say 75% of the time, no.
Yeah, I generally don't.
But it says, like, we highly recommend that you...
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
How about you just put that in there, then, if it's so important.
Our second update is contradictory to what you heard in the first half of this program.
We will be represented at the media party by Mr. Danger himself. is contradictory to what you heard in the first half of this program.
We will be represented at the media party by Mr. Danger himself,
our Gen Z-er, Blake Jones.
Oh, you just set that up during the break.
Yeah, I just felt like we were coming off as lame,
saying, oh, we've been in an RV all day, you know,
just so tired from sitting in a car. Yeah, you were literally saying it.
I didn't say a word.
But we are here in California,
an hour away from Nobu.
Free Nobu!
Now, see, the drive is shrinking.
Yeah.
It is an hour 20.
An hour ago it was an hour 20,
and now he's like,
oh, I mean, we'd be there in 35
if we don't get traffic.
That's cool, though.
That's what you should do.
No, no, no, hold on.
I arranged a ride, and I'm going.
It is cool, but what is not cool is the way that he's already running his own PR campaign,
which is in the break, he's like, well, I mean, one of us has got to be there.
You know, the show has to be up.
Like, I'm doing it for the show.
I am doing it for the show.
Like, he's a martyr.
He's like, look, I will take this.
This has nothing to do with free.
I'll take the bullet on this one.
And you know what's going to happen?
And it's going to happen if I say it or not.
It's because I know how this works.
Now, the comments that you see, if you do happen to read them, comment reader Dan, are going to be like, these guys are lame.
Why is the episode not out earlier?
And why don't you go out and get home at midnight Pacific time?
He's set that up.
That's why he's doing it.
No, I just don't.
I want to do stuff while we're out here.
I don't want to just go back to the Airbnb.
And I want you to tell me about doing stuff.
And I will.
Okay.
I tried to get you guys.
Oh, you want to do stuff?
I feel like coming out here is doing stuff. What about whenever I asked you I tried to get you guys... Oh, you want to do stuff? I feel like coming out here
is doing stuff.
What about whenever I asked you
if you wanted to do
surf lessons with me?
I said I would do it
for the show,
but I don't care to do it.
Like being out here to me...
And that was exactly
what I said.
If we were all doing
surf lessons,
then I'll do it.
Then why do you have to add,
but I don't really want to do it?
Because I don't.
Both of you guys are like,
oh, why do you read the comment?
And then both of you guys,
though, are now worried
about the comments.
Because you rubbed off on us.
I'm not worried about the comments, though.
Coming out here is enough.
Not according to them.
What is according to me?
Now Rob's going.
All right.
See, Rob will do anything.
Yeah.
He's got a lot of stamina.
Yeah.
He's like, we'll be up at 5.
He'll drive all day, all that.
He'll be like, let's go out and get a beer or two.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh, dude, no.
Yeah.
I cannot do that.
All right.
So today in Twitter.
I can't do that if I get up at noon and then do one hour of work.
Today's Today in Twitter, a story that we
did not cover yesterday because
we wanted to be able to play the video.
It's really the only thing that
was on my feed
from the time that it dropped.
I want to say Sunday night. Do you want me to bring you back
some sushi? If you can.
Okay.
Now you know I support that.
I don't know that you can, though.
You can try.
I'll take a Ziploc in there.
You should.
You should.
A duffel bag.
A duffel bag.
Or just a gallon-sized bag like the Rangers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was running for president as an independent,
he initially tried to challenge for the Democratic nomination.
Became very clear that was not
going to happen.
Now he's in, basically to play spoiler,
he is a certified
weirdo. And not
like in the weird, I mean,
he shares some of the quote weird that they're
calling Republicans and conservatives, but he's just a
weird cat. Really
strange.
Married to Cheryl Hines, right?
He is married to Cheryl Hines.
And the New Yorker had an article coming out yesterday, a very long piece,
which I read, and it's really worth your time.
And I believe you can get a couple free articles from the New Yorker before they make you subscribe.
His whole life is weird.
Obviously a lot of death, a whole lot of death. before they make you subscribe. His whole life is weird. Obviously a lot of death.
A whole lot of death.
Family members, you know.
His dad.
Yeah.
His uncle.
He goes far beyond that.
He dropped acid, I think, when he was 15 for the first time.
16 maybe, around the time that somebody in his family had died.
I don't recall which one.
But from the time he did that that for about the next 12 years,
he was a hardcore drug addict.
And I'm talking heroin.
Okay.
And couldn't get clean.
Worked in politics while being on heroin.
Failed the bar twice, I believe, while he was an assistant attorney general in the state of New York.
Passed it on the third time eventually.
Went to Harvard and was smacked out of his mind the whole time, but ended up graduating.
They said when he started working in politics and they were going town to town, you know, campaigning.
And I can't remember what state, but one of the people who worked on it was like dude he was living off speedballs and sex hardcore sex addict uh like they said it's a
different it was a different chick in every town he got married to a lady and was constantly
constantly uh having affairs.
Like multiple long-term affairs.
And he kept a book.
It almost sounds like the Sex for Points game.
To keep track of?
Yes.
And he had a number system indicating what he did with them.
And there were hundreds of them while he was married.
And his wife found the book.
Or somebody told him to look through his phone,
and then the book maybe got entered into evidence for something,
like in a court case.
And he left her for a woman he was having, one of the women he was having an affair with.
Her whole bit was being a Kennedy.
You know, like she went to Harvard too, I'm pretty sure.
His original wife?
Yeah.
Okay, not the person he left for?
No.
Cheryl Hines might be like his fifth wife.
Okay.
So he left her and he was telling her like,
you're crazy, you're having a psychotic breakdown,
none of this is true.
Of course it was true.
And she got really sad
and he completely like cut her out of his life
and wouldn't even acknowledge her
and didn't want her to see the kids.
And eventually she hung herself.
And he would not...
And her family has constantly, constantly
made public statements about, like,
this man ruined her life.
He's the reason she killed herself.
Could you hang yourself? It feels like I would mess that up. Yeah, the reason she killed herself. Uh. Could you hang yourself?
It feels like I would mess that up.
Yeah, the length would be wrong.
Just, yeah, how would you get the thing tied right, and then what would I hang it on?
It would break, whatever it is.
Yeah.
Like, I'm just not inclined.
There's no chance.
Yeah.
You gotta go pills.
Mm.
He's not a pill guy.
Euphoria, though.
Well, yeah, but you're going to be dead.
I'm not asking you to join a softball league.
No, I don't really play.
I don't like that.
I don't like what it does to me.
He made sure that she was buried at a Kennedy estate,
even though he already completely cut her off.
Her parents hated that.
Just a messy dude.
I'm not going to go through the whole article,
but he's always been really stoked on the environment.
All of his family members said that he had a bunch of weird pets when he was a kid
and that his dad had a greenhouse built for him on one of their properties in Massachusetts or something.
And he had weird animals and got really into falconry,
which is about to become very important, like hunting with a falcon.
Oh, that's what falconry is?
Yeah, I think I've told you about that before,
that people used to hunt with falcons.
Very popular.
Like instead of a hunting dog?
Well, hunting dogs primarily retrieve your game.
What does a falcon do?
It goes and kills it, I would assume.
Oh, okay, so you don't have a gun, but you use a falcon?
Am I wrong about this?
I don't know.
And they kind of scope it out, right?
Don't they go up and see where your target is?
So dogs are post-game, falcons are pre-game?
That's what I understood.
Okay, yeah.
Hey, if there's a falcon expert out there, email us so we can call you when we have a question.
Yeah, but you've seen him like the guy
has a sleeve and it just returns to him.
It's badass.
It feels a real old-timey.
Yeah, but people still do it,
and he definitely did it.
You got too much money if you're into falconry.
In 2020, yeah, no.
Well, really back then probably too.
You were a feudal lord or something.
So he's really into the environment,
which as you may know from some of the storylines in curb actual cheryl hines is too okay um so that's kind of part of
their bit sometime in like the mid 2010s maybe early 2010s he got really anti-vax like he met
a guy who was at the forefront of that movement and this is
that the jenny mccarthy yeah and jessica beal was really into it okay that you know you're giving
your kid autism from vaccines which obviously time and time again has been not only debunked
i'm pretty sure the guy who originally made that claim has since walked it back yeah and said yeah i was completely
wrong about this so that's his whole bit and then obviously covid was a match made in heaven for him
you know that's how he was able to really gain some national notoriety so to go back to what
we're about to play the new yorker has an article that was coming out on monday morning with some
obviously pretty damning stuff about him in it. And he knew that because they did what a journalist does and they called him to ask for
comments. Okay. So he knows what they know. So he thinks he's slick. So he's like, I'm going to get
out in front of this. So he's sitting in what looks like his house. It's a nice state. I'm
pretty sure you can see Cheryl Hines at the background, but it might just be house help.
estate. I'm pretty sure you can see Cheryl Hines in the background, but it might just be house help.
But who you can definitely see
is who he's talking to, which is
the OG of Roseanne's Roseanne.
Who
looks way different now, but is still a Roseanne.
And this is about
three minutes long, so we can start and stop it.
Also, you have to know he's got the voice thing.
Right?
He talks like this. Yeah, he has a disease.
Oh, he does? Yeah, he has a disease oh he does yeah he has a disease uh
and it's kind of hard to listen to but we're just going to listen to this
i was taking a group of people up in goshen new york up in hudson valley and i was supposed to
meet them there at like maybe eight or nine i was driving up maybe you know really
early like seven and that woman in a van in front of me hit a bear and killed it a young bear
okay pause at this point the camera's on rosanne and rosanne is looking at rfk while he's saying
this and he hasn't even really got to the crazy part yet, like he's crazy.
Roseanne's like, what the fuck?
Okay, what are you telling me this for?
She just has this, okay,
why are we talking about this look on her face,
and it doesn't get much better.
Your thought is, if you're telling Roseanne a story that she thinks is crazy,
you are off the deep end.
Yeah, she's nuts.
Yeah, she's Roseanne.
Yeah.
And I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van.
You did what?
Wait, pause this.
So, somebody hit a bear in front of him.
Yeah.
Out in the middle of nowhere, probably upstate.
So, let's just play this out.
Yeah.
Let's just play it out, you and me.
Okay.
I'm driving. I hit a bear. You, you and me. Okay. I'm driving.
I hit a bear.
You're driving behind me.
What do you do?
Drive around the bear.
You just keep going, right?
Like, oh, man, that's unfortunate.
Yeah.
But he sees there's a dead bear, and he puts it in his car.
Yeah.
Now, perhaps there's the situation of you're, like, really good animal guy.
You're Tony, maybe. Tony the engineer.
And you stop to see, is it alive?
Is there a way that I could.
Give it a little mouth to mouth.
Yeah, is there a way that I could save this bear?
But once he acknowledges it's dead.
Okay.
And then he's like, I just put it in my car.
All right.
And it was very good condition.
And I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.
And you can do that in New York City.
You can get a bear tag for a roadkill bear.
And so then we went to the office.
Okay, pause it.
So, yeah, all right, that explains it then.
Yeah, he wanted the meat.
Yeah, I wouldn't have done that, but he was going to pick it up, skin it,
and I guess if you're a hunter guy,
maybe that is what you're thinking that I'd do.
I didn't even know people eat bear.
I didn't either.
Did you know that?
No, I mean, I've definitely had some weird game jerky and cuts in my life,
but I didn't know bear was in the squirrel.
Yeah, for sure.
You've heard of that?
Yeah.
Louisiana.
But yeah.
I had a bear in my car, and then we had a really good day and we went late we were catching a lot of
game and the people really loved it so we stayed late and instead of going back to my home in
Westchester I had to go right to the city because there was a dinner at Peter Luger's Steakhouse
and at the end of the dinner it went late and I realized I couldn't go home I had to
go to the airport and the bear was in my car and I didn't want to leave the bear in the car
because that would have been bad yeah that would have been bad I thought
you know at that time this was the little bit of the redneck in me. There'd been a series of bicycle accidents in New York.
They had just put in the bike lanes.
And so a couple of people.
Roseanne's like, what?
Every day.
And the people.
You did what?
I was badly injured.
Every day it was in the press.
And so I thought.
I wasn't drinking, of course.
But people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea.
And I said, well, I had a...
That's always who you take advice from.
Yeah.
People who are drinking.
I had an idea.
I was sober, but these guys next to me had been drinking scotch at the steakhouse for three hours,
and they had an idea, and I said, that's the one I want to execute.
And also, he's like, blah.
This is the part where he says there's a little bit of redneck in me.
Dude, we blew past that stop sign when you put the bear in your car.
Yeah.
That you were going to skin a bear.
Also, is this not the most Larry David situation you could possibly imagine?
That's what I was thinking.
It keeps snowballing.
I was going to do this, but then I couldn't because I had to do this, and I couldn't do
that, but then I had to do this.
Just like in a different form.
Yeah.
Suddenly, I realized.
Larry David would never do any of these things.
But yes, it's a Larry David moment.
The layering of.
For a guy who goes hunting.
Yeah, exactly.
So there's been bicycle accidents in the park.
It's been all over the place.
People are getting hit.
People are getting seriously injured.
And he thinks, maybe I can pass this off as a bike accident.
Old bike in my car that somebody asked me to get rid of.
I said, let's go put the bear in Central Park and we'll make it look like he got hit by a bike accident. Old bike in my car that somebody had asked me to get rid of it. I said, let's go put the bear
in Central Park
and we'll make it look like
he got hit by a bike.
Fun, funny for people.
So everybody thought
that's a great idea.
So we went and did that
and we thought it would
be amusing for whoever
found it or something.
So I'm on the way
to the airport
because we've already
established this timeline.
Yeah.
But I do have time to go to Central Park and stage.
Yeah.
Like it's got to be.
There's a lot of BS in this story.
There has to be.
Also, if we want to follow some of his reasoning here, one, I'm supposed to believe.
And it is a cub.
But still.
But I was hunting from 7 a.m.
I was gone all day. Was he taking a red eye, I guess? I took a cub, but still. But I was hunting from 7 a.m. I was gone all day.
Was he taking a red-eye, I guess?
I took a bear, though.
I got this bear.
You got to think he's got a private plane, no matter what.
Yeah, okay, that's right.
So he can leave any time he wants.
Yeah, that was a dumb thing to say.
I'm just thinking, like, okay, so he gets to the steakhouse at, like, 8.
But, yes, but he went hunting all day and decides, oh oh my, I don't have time to get home now.
I have to go right to a steakhouse.
Like, what's he wearing?
What's he smell like?
Yeah.
And then he has such a good time there.
He's literally been handling a dead bear.
Right.
He has so much fun there that he also loses track of time.
And now, oh my gosh, I've got to go catch this flight, which I think we're determining.
He can schedule for any time he wants.
So there's a lot of holes in this story.
It's weird.
It's so fantastical.
The bear dumped in Central Park, yet I still don't believe it.
You're somehow whitewashing a story where you threw a bear.
Yeah, and the weird thing is that he did this again before the story came out.
And the story...
Well, he knew this was coming out, and if you've read it, is this the most...
He thought, okay, of all the stuff that's in my past, this is the one I'm going to tell Roseanne and put out there on social media.
Yeah, I guess.
Like all the other stuff was tame in comparison?
Well, I mean, all the other stuff he's just addressed before.
Drug addiction.
He got arrested getting off a plane with heroin.
The sex addiction.
This is so Connor.
Is it Connor?
Connor Roy.
Yeah.
He is so Connor Roy, isn't he?
So, again, smaller bear, but a small bear.
Any bear.
It just feels like.
You know what it's going to do?
Not die if you hit it with a huffy.
Well, yeah.
Like, you're in trouble at that point.
You're like, what top speed are you getting to where you hit, like, a 400-pound, 300-pound animal?
He's in a hot trunk all day.
It's going to smell horrible.
Yeah.
So, he's like, all right, well,
so that's the first problem I have
is that he thinks somebody's going to believe
that a bike hit a bear and it died.
Well, I think it was more of like
he was going to pull a joke.
I don't think he was...
Well, because that's the thing.
Then he says,
and I thought that whoever found it
would find this amusing.
I suppose there's a small portion
of the population that might,
but most people are going to be like, what the fuck?
Why is there a dead bear in an urban park in a bike lane?
Nobody's going to be like, ha, ha.
Oh, RFK.
You're going to be disturbed by that, traumatized by that.
Classic RFK.
These Kennedys, man, they're so funny.
All right, it's almost over, I think.
The next day,
it was like,
it was on every television station.
It was the front page of every paper.
And I turned on the TV, and there was
like a mile of yellow tape,
and there were 20 cop cars.
There were helicopters flying over it.
And I was
like, oh my god, what did I do?
And then there were some people on TV in Tyvek suits with gloves on lifting up the bike.
And they were saying they were going to take this up to Albany to get a famous friend in Pompil.
And I was worried because my friends were all over that bike.
Luckily, the story died after a while, and it stayed dead for a decade.
And then the New Yorker somehow found out about it,
and they're going to do a big article on me, and that's one of the articles. So they asked me, the fact checker, found out about it, and they're going to do a big article on me,
and that's one of the articles.
So they asked me, the fact checker said,
you know, it's going to be a bad story.
It's wild, man.
It's a wild story from a wild man.
And then, yeah, we don't have to play them,
but people did find, like, the next morning,
CNN morning news is, like,
tragic story out of New York today is a bear cub was found.
And it wasn't, hey, somebody played a funny prank.
No.
No, and it was this big mystery back then, apparently,
for, you know, a few weeks.
Like he said, it dies down.
But, yeah, man, I mean. There's no bears in the park for a long time, like he said, it dies down.
Yeah, man.
I mean, yeah, here you go.
It's a long time.
It's pretty short.
It seems as if someone brought the thing there, which is really sad.
It seems as if someone brought the thing there.
Not native to the park, you mean?
Yeah.
Mr. Anchor?
Just a really, really weird dude. A bear cub is discovered dead in, of all places, Central Park.
An apparent case of animal cruelty.
CBS2's Matt Kozar has more on the bear mystery.
See, I feel like the people he hangs with...
Might find it funny.
Would find that animal cruelty funny.
Florence Slatkin says she was walking her dog this morning when she
saw something furry underneath the bushes police say the three foot long black bear cub had stab
and slash wounds and appears to have been dumped there adding to the mystery slatkin says the baby
bear was lying on top of this bicycle confisc On top? It was confiscated as evidence. The bicycle was under the bushes.
Part of the bicycle was sticking out.
So if I lay this bike down...
We could see something on the back wheel.
You know, just laying on the back wheel.
Because if somebody did hit the bear...
The spot where the bear was found is not in a secluded part of Central Park.
It's right near West Drive
where thousands run and bike every day.
That's horrible.
It's very bizarre.
I didn't think that somebody with criminal intents would do such a thing right here in
our backyard.
It's disturbing.
The Department of Environmental Conservation carefully removed the bear and wrapped it
in a jar.
It turns out that there's an easy explanation for it all.
That's right.
Sometimes it's just the simplest one.
RFK. Would you like
to do more any sports
today or we save it for tomorrow
and do the news? Let me look
at my stack again real quick. I don't think
I had much. Oh, I have one quick thing
for you. Alright.
This is college football news
and
it probably in some ways is NIL
related,
but Florida International Football,
they will be changing the naming rights of their station.
They are receiving... Station.
Of their stadium, excuse me.
$1.2 million a year for the next five years
to change the name of FIU Stadium to Pitbull Stadium.
Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide himself, it is now Pitbull Stadium.
He just wants to.
Why?
He's a Florida guy, I guess.
Okay.
I love it.
To Miami school.
To Miami school.
Yeah, he's just like, I want to be on that.
So he's giving them $7 million.
That's awesome.
They're like, yeah, we're FIU. We'll take your that. So he's giving them $7, $8 million.
They're like, yeah, we're FIU.
We'll take your money.
I wonder if this becomes a thing for celebrities to do.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Let's buy one.
Yeah, wonder what we could do.
We might be able to get our hands on a youth baseball. What would Argyle cost?
Too much.
Something like, do you remember Arc Park?
No. Ark Park was a very famous local baseball complex where they had,
I can't remember if they were for Bronco or Pony.
They might even have been for Mustang.
But they had four ballparks stylized as like Fenway, Wrigley, and a couple others.
But they were Little League dimensions.
But they had a green monster.
Here in town?
Or in Dallas?
DFW, yeah.
That sounds great.
It was awesome.
I never got to play there, but I went and watched some friends play there.
That's like the golf course that emulates famous holes.
Yeah.
Tour 18?
Yes.
You familiar with that?
Yeah, and they have a softball complex that's like that.
Really? Yeah, Big League Dreams. Like is there a green monster? Yeah. You familiar with that? Yeah, and they have a softball complex that's like that. Really?
Yeah, Big League Dreams.
Like is there a green monster?
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, it was cool.
I want to go there.
I was not good enough to play there.
It wasn't like you could just go play your rec league there.
Roll one up.
You don't think I got any pop?
I don't think you can hit a softball home run, no.
I do.
Interesting. I think you could. I think you can hit a softball home run, no. I do. Interesting.
I think you could.
I think you could rake.
300 over the fence?
Could you?
Yes.
Okay.
I think you could, Dan.
I've done it in the past seven days, yes.
Ooh, jeez, man.
All right.
So I'm saying something like that.
I don't want to just sponsor like a normal Little League field.
But if we could get something cool, I'd be down.
Yeah, well, we can't.
Oh.
Sorry.
News?
Yeah, sure.
Or did you say, was that the?
Yeah, he put a bear in the park.
Yeah, okay.
Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News.
We do have a little bit of an update on the lady who caused the shutdown on 183 from Brown Trail to Industrial.
It was shut down for, I think, almost three hours.
That's right. That was yesterday, right?
Yeah, and Blake did have the updated story that came out right when we were doing that segment that had her picture,
which I think is when he said he would actually be interested in Shalunda Hayes.
Shalunda?
She might be on mug shotties.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's not, like, totally wrong.
She's smiling very, you know.
That's the hook.
She's got a great smile.
Big smile.
Okay, yeah.
In her mug shot.
That is great.
She doesn't seem upset about what happened.
It's also kind of weird, too, because she's wearing.
Do you need this, by the way?
Yeah, I do need some juice.
Thank you.
Yeah, I figured.
I'll take care of you.
How are you doing?
Good.
Great.
What's your percentage? One Thank you. Yeah, I figured. I'll take care of you. How are you doing? Good. Great. Wonderful.
What's your percentage?
One hundo.
Oh, good.
So in this picture, you can see she's wearing like a blue uniform with a tie, like a blue tie.
It looks like a uniform of someone in state employment, which makes sense because there's not a lot of details on this,
but one of her charges is impersonating a public servant.
I don't know how that figured into this,
but they added that to the resisting arrests,
evading arrests of the vehicle, unlawfully carrying a weapon.
I don't know.
They always pile on them charges.
And then that way you can negotiate a few of them off.
Man, I was thinking about this the other day, though, after I...
It might have been before I saw this story.
There are a lot of, like, unmarked cars uh police cars you get the black charger or you get the black suv
and you really only know it if you're looking for it yeah i mean i'm not i shouldn't say that
everybody can probably tell but their lights are only on the dash you know what i mean inside and
when they turn them off they're not marked but i. But I saw one at a stoplight the other day that
had exempt plates. That's one way
you know. And I was just thinking,
if that car pulled up behind me
and they just had
the blue and red on the dash...
You're not pulling over for that.
I don't think I...
Because there used to be stories about people impersonating
cops. Oh, there was like an epidemic over in the Grapevine, Colleyville area for a while.
People with their own little lights.
Yeah.
And they would pull women over.
And rape them or whatever.
Do stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking just, what do you do in that situation?
And that was the car that was chasing her?
No, I'm saying she was charged for impersonating an officer, and it just made me think about
people who do that,
and you see that behind you, and you're like,
that doesn't look like a regular cop car.
Right.
I guess one thing, like I said, you look for the exempt plates,
but I guess maybe you pull over, but you just barely crack the window,
and you're like, hey, can I see your badge and badge number?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's a weird situation.
But you could have faked that, too.
Yeah, but I couldn't tell a fake badge from a real one.
Uh-huh.
You'd probably be able to tell if it said like Paw Patrol.
Thank you, Rob.
I like having him around.
Paw Patrol.
Speaking of the police, Dallas PD,
the chief has fired two officers accused of violating off-duty policy.
What were they doing?
One was arrested for public intoxication.
Oh.
Actually, it was just a citation.
Could have probably been more if he wasn't a cop.
The 50-year-old cop that was fired, he was in Murphy,
Texas. It's over by me.
That's not what I wanted from you.
Mascot.
They don't have their
own high school?
Is that right?
Yeah, who are they a part of?
I scouted out Murphy for homes
back when we were looking for where to live in the Metroplex.
Yeah, it seems nice.
I think it all used to be a field, but it's blowing up now.
Yeah, when it was a lot of field.
D Magazine had done their 10 best places to live in DFW, and that was one of them.
Bit of a hike.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I think they feed into Plano.
Okay.
He was...
Wildcats.
Now I don't want him here.
It was also the...
I'm suggesting they be called the Murphy Browns.
Now wants me.
He's back at zero after a plus one.
Okay, no.
I'm on board with that.
Damn.
I've been overruled.
There you go.
He was found asleep behind the wheel of a running vehicle.
What about the law?
So they gave him a PI.
Murphy's law? So they gave him a P.I.
Murphy's Law?
All right.
Okay.
I mean, if the floodgates are open, I can't really stop it now.
We've already let Murphy Browns through here.
He had been on administrative leave for several months already at this point for alleged criminal activity.
This is the drunk
cop or a different one? Yeah, the drunk cop.
The other one was
receiving pay for off-duty hours
that weren't worked.
Cooking the books a little bit.
Yeah.
Now, I swear to you, I've never
done this, but due
to the extremely inefficient way in which payroll and such worked at our former employer,
you had to write down.
I remember when I told my wife about this, who works for like a Fortune 500 real company,
and she just could not stop laughing at it when I'd be at the table filling it out.
You had to write down things you did.
For example, when I was a board op or a producer and I would host on the weekend,
I had to print out a sheet and write down each day, shake joint, 8 to 11, this number.
Then I started doing live spots.
The way that mine was structured is I had to write down every single live spot I did
and then write down $20.
And it would be 30 things long.
You staple the paper together.
You just hand it to them
and then hope that it turns out right.
But I do know people that were like,
you know, if they're going to have a system this shitty,
I'm just going to write some other stuff in there.
I'm just going to write some other stuff on here because I really don't think they're going to look at it.
Well, I never even thought of doing that.
Well, some people did, and I believe that it worked out every single time.
And I'm not talking about bankrupting a company, but it was like a couple hundred bucks.
Right.
The real problem with that all was there was no follow-up.
Yeah.
Like, it was like doing taxes.
Taxes suck, because it's like...
At least you can do it online if you have to.
Yeah, but the whole taxes thing,
you can do it, pay it,
and then you get in trouble if you do it wrong.
Yeah.
Like, wait, if you knew what I owed,
what if you just told me that
and I would have paid it?
Yeah.
Like, here, I just figured everything out.
I pay you $3,000.
Nope, you've scammed us.
You owed four.
Yeah.
Well, why didn't you just tell me that?
Bill me four and I won't have to pay this tax guy.
Yeah.
Anyway.
You're right.
It doesn't make a ton of sense.
But this system that we had at the old place was similar in that, not to that, but it was like, yes, you fill some stuff out, and it's good for $200,
but then you would just have to look.
You looked in two weeks, so it's
not there yet, and then you look in
four weeks, oh, okay, there's
the $200. Okay, I guess they got it right.
But, if it was only $150,
then you have
to go to someone and go, hey,
did they not approve?
There's also a lot of confusion about what you were paid what for doing.
Yeah.
Because you were afraid to ask.
Yeah.
But then you'd find out from someone else, you're like, wait, you're writing that down?
Right.
I'm like, that's what I've always written down.
Yeah, so okay, I'll write that down.
Well, I've been writing down half that for like three years now.
Yeah, it's like some guys wouldn't write down going to ticket stock.
Yeah.
And they go, no, I just thought we just had to do that.
And we'd be like, yeah, well, don't you think they sell sponsors for that?
They should pay you for your time to go out there.
Okay, then I'll do it.
But nobody would tell you ahead of time to do it or not to do it.
You just had to.
It was the system.
And you didn't know if it worked unless you checked the paycheck every couple weeks.
Yeah.
And then they'd get mad at you if, because I wouldn't check it.
I would check it like a couple months later.
That window's closed.
We already did that one.
You should have been on it that month.
They'd be mad at me.
Yeah.
I'd be like, wait, wait, no.
I'm just, I'm pointing it out that I just haven't.
Yeah. I'll do one more quick one here. And it's my bad for not putting the video in. Wait, wait, no, I'm just pointing it out that I just haven't.
I'll do one more quick one here.
It's my bad for not putting the video in.
I just saw this as we were out on the field.
Absolutely insane scene on 635 this morning around Greenville and Forest,
715 this morning.
And there is a guy who is just going completely bonkers road rage.
The video, which was on Dallas, Texas TV, doesn't capture the beginning of the accident.
But it's clear that he caused an accident.
There's about six cars, would you say?
It's hard to catch the beginning.
Yeah, it's a crazy scene. You pretty much have to have a dash cam, right?
Yeah.
So there's somebody back behind the accident who's filming,
and this guy is just still in his car.
His car is super banged up,
and there's about four or five cars just turned sideways behind him,
and he just gets in the car and starts driving around,
like around the scene of the accident.
He hits a car.
He hits a car.
Yeah, this is it, Dan.
If you want to, well, this may be post.
Yeah, this is after everything was was taken care of because then there's a lady that he hit uh her car and she's out by her car and i guess she's kind of like waving at him and she's kind of like
ah you know whatever he hits her and keeps driving around the scene with her underneath the front bumper. Just dragging her.
And the video concludes
with four civilians
on top of him.
On 635, he's got blood all over him.
He looks all crazy.
Multiple people
injured by the suspect,
including one of the guys who tried to stop him
who was stabbed by him.
Whoa!
You need a good guy with a knife.
To go back to the, what do you do in this situation,
he's just hit a woman, he's dragging her with his car,
he's banging into all these other cars,
he clearly looks, like, completely disassociated high.
Are you getting out to be like,
I'm going to get this guy on the ground?
Well, just know.
Not me.
You may get stabbed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And several other people were injured.
And that's why I'm not going to do it.
Not because I think someone else will take care of it.
Yeah, because it all started when he did have like a road rage accident and started fighting the guy he got in the accident with.
And a third guy jumped in to try to stop the fight.
And that's the guy who got stabbed.
All while like 635 is shut down. People just have to wait. It's rush hour. It's the guy who got stabbed. All while, like, 635
is shut down. People just have to wait
for the time. It's rush hour! It's 715 in the morning
and this guy's on doing Grand Theft Auto.
Uh-oh. I'll just leave it on my head like that.
Oh, did you just break...
The screens fell down. Did you break the...
Anyways, there's the noose.
This guy looks insane. He does.
I think you have to put it in from the bottom. I'll just let it rest on my head here.
Why don't I just take it out, Rob?
Is that cool?
Just for now?
What, you broke the screen?
Break it.
But we're going to have a me and you and Matt time tonight.
Oh, why?
Because these guys are leaving?
What are you all going to do?
Go to bed early?
Yeah.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early.
I'm going to go to bed early. I'm going to go to bed early. I'm going to go to bed early. I'm going to go to bed early. I'm going to have a me and you and Matt time tonight.
Oh, why?
Because these guys are leaving?
What are you all going to do?
Go to bed early?
Yeah, Matt's going to be pretty disappointed with us if he's thinking he's going to go out and have some fun tonight.
We might be able to do something about that.
Let's see.
All right. Tuesday, August 6th. Doesn't this seem like we've been gone forever? Let's see. Alright.
Tuesday, August 6th.
Doesn't this seem like we've been gone forever?
I miss my family.
Not because of that.
No.
It's just sitting in this goddamn RV.
I haven't actually thought it's been that bad.
No, it's been good.
I'm describing it to people who ask as it's been a fun beating.
It's a beating.
Yeah.
Three hours of just driving.
I mean, passing.
It has to be really a beating to be driving.
I think it'd be better.
I don't know.
You got to be aware of things and always on edge and making sure you don't crash.
But it's been fun.
Yeah.
I remember that time I spilled coffee.
That was fun.
On this day in 1945, we dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
And they were like, whatever.
I'm going to keep rolling.
And then a couple days later, they dropped one on Nagasaki.
And then Japan was like, all right.
I didn't know you had two.
Yeah.
Because then we were like, we got more.
We'll keep dropping them.
Who else wants it?
Yeah.
Oh, boy, this is a rabbit hole.
But it's not the rabbit hole I'm going to go down today.
Because I'll see these things in the morning and then just try to research them.
Are you putting the Frankl & Frankl mug in the shot?
We want to give Frankl some extra love today.
We love our Frankl & Frankl.
Yeah, I wonder if that lady had just called 214 or 817, all threes.
We could have.
There's still time.
Well, she might have to.
You need to do it right away, but you should call, you know.
Because sometimes you don't.
You're in shock.
Yeah.
You can still call the next day.
You don't have to call Frankel and Frankel while you're at the accident scene.
You can.
Yeah.
And they'll definitely help you out, and you'll talk to a partner.
But if you wait until the next day, wait a week even, whatever,
if you just realize, man, I really screwed up, is there any way out?
There is.
Yeah.
Because the insurance company, they're going to say,
well, you got dragged by a car for a little bit.
That's not a big deal.
Yeah.
Right.
They may do that. Frank will help you.
So it's 1994 in Weed-O-Weed, Alabama.
The story was...
I bet they say that funny.
The story was that an apparent arson fire destroyed Randolph County High School.
It had been the focus of tensions over the principal's stand against interracial
dating. And I thought,
I gotta search this a little bit, see what's the deal.
So the guy's name was
Hewland Humphreys.
So he's the principal of an Alabama
high school. This is
1994. He had been the principal
since 1969. Oh dear.
How do you feel he was a pretty progressive
guy? Did he grow over time?
So during an assembly before prom,
he said he would cancel prom if
students planned to take dates of a different race.
And then that became public, and it became
a big thing, and all that.
And so, as I went down the
rabbit hole,
originally, like, big thing and all that and so as i went down the rabbit hole um originally like um because then you know black people got upset and then there was a big thing and then they had there was going to be
their own they you know a lot of black kids just went and had their own prom like the naacp jumped jumped in or something. And then the high school
ends up burning down.
And a black guy
was arrested for it at first.
But upon further review,
a lot of evidence
was leading to
the principal himself.
Like the principal
had removed
all his personal items
and had purchased
large amounts of gasoline.
You can't do that.
Yet, it was all circumstantial evidence,
so he was acquitted.
Dang.
And so, of course,
he was in shame
and never worked again, right?
Sure, of course, yeah.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
He was hired
as superintendent of the whole school system.
How about a promotion?
Yeah.
You know who I think can rebuild this school that just burned down?
Mr. Humphreys.
The guy that burned it down.
94, huh?
That's insane.
And that's not me getting down a rabbit hole, because I have another one that's even better.
On this day in 1998, it was Magic Johnson's last episode of The Magic Hour.
Do you know he had a talk show?
Like competing with Johnny Carson.
Like it was a late night talk show.
I've said this once and I'll say it again.
Maybe this is a job for Jason from the internet.
I got to see it and I got to see the whole thing.
I know because now I see modern day Magic tweeting
and I can't imagine him having a talk show.
Bring some of that wit and wisdom.
Anyway, I won the Deadpool in my radio station in Dayton because we had a celebrity Deadpool like people do.
Of course.
Wacky morning AM.
I thought a great little twist-up would be I'm going to, in the draft, I chose
Magic's Show
And it died
That's very smart of you
Dude, I saw something really weird the other day
That I have not been able to unspool
I was watching the Backstreet Boys NSYNC
Lou Pearlman documentary
And the Backstreet Boys were on
The View, I guess
And I know it's The View, I guess.
And I know it's The View because the logo's in the bottom right corner.
So this would have been like 97, 96.
The person introducing them is Terry Bradshaw.
Why? I don't know, but I've Googled around.
I'm like, dude, I have to find out.
Was Terry Bradshaw like a fill-in host on The View?
He's with a woman that I didn't recognize.
Either she looked way different or it's not one of the current ones.
And he's like,
yeah,
Key,
it's probably on this CD.
Like he's just yelling all crazy Cajun.
Terry Bradshaw on The View.
Here's a little video of the Magic Johnson show.
Tonight and tomorrow at the Conga Room in Los Angeles on Wilshire.
All right.
Well, check her out because you're going to have a swinging good time.
My first guess has appeared in such movies as Boomerang
and the blockbuster hit Waiting to Exhale.
All right.
Next, you'll be kicking butt with John Claude Van Damme.
On this day in 2005, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.
Ooh, yeah, this is a big, big invite.
Whose soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq,
began a weeks-long protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch.
And I bring this up because I thought this is your...
That's my wheelhouse, dude.
This is your area, your real high political tea.
It was hot.
It was very hot.
Might have been a big moveon.org guy.
So you know what I want to do?
I think we need to mark...
I'm calling for myself to be promoted here.
Bird down a school?
I think, no.
In our show notes and everything,
and we'll highlight this is the news,
and this is...
I think the rabbit hole can become a thing.
I know I've done a couple before
that have been interesting.
I think this one is interesting,
so I'm going to get to this birthday quick.
My rabbit hole birthday.
It's not David Robinson, 59.
The Admiral?
Mike Budenholzer is 55.
Coach Bud.
Where'd he go?
From Milwaukee.
He's an assistant somewhere, I'm pretty sure, right?
He's just an assistant.
I would think he'd be sitting out until I'm a head coach.
Oh, the Suns.
Yeah, I should have known that.
He's the Suns head coach?
Yeah.
Head coach.
Yeah.
Yeah, not an assistant.
As of like this year.
Oh, okay. I mean, he was not a Head coach. Yeah. Yeah, not an assistant. As of, like, this year. Oh, okay.
I mean, he was not a guy who had taken – he's not Jason Garrett.
He's a head coach.
Yeah.
Once you win a title, right?
Put up a 60-win season and won a title.
Kareem Hunt is 29.
He's got some –
Dombai.
1,300-yard season as a rookie and then never –
I don't even think he cracked
500 after that. They didn't
give him like a
ironclad contract full of
guarantees that would
wreck their cap for five years after that.
Seneca Wallace. Okay, two
former Browns quarterbacks. Seneca Wallace
44. I was all
in. Charlie
Whitehurst 42. Was that Iowa State maybe? I remember there was all in. Charlie Whitehurst, 42. Was that Iowa State, maybe?
I don't
know. I remember. There was a time.
Andy Messersmith
is 79. He is
I was stoked on him.
He and the free agent game. I can't remember exactly
how, but Andy Messersmith. The name sounds
familiar. He's also today's
War Games winner at 40.2.
Respectable.
Actor Benito Martinez is 56.
Acevedo.
Director M. Night Shyamalan is 54.
He has a new movie that I don't know if it would qualify.
I think it's a thriller.
I'm not going to say horror.
My daughter Eden just saw it.
It's got Josh Hartnett in it.
Josh Hartnett has a comeback tour on. She gave it
two stars.
She said it sucks. We didn't really get the
spectrum whenever she was
rating it though. No, and I said, so you're telling
me like... Two out of five? Two out of
ten? No, that's right.
I don't know.
But she said, I think
she said that she thought
Human Centipede was better than the latest M. Night.
Dang.
Jerry.
Signs messed me up.
Jerry Hallowell is 52.
A lot of socks.
Met their end.
Ginger Spice.
From Ginger Spice.
A lot of socks.
Moon Fry is 48.
Is that Punky Brewster?
Who got?
She slapped God in the face.
You know what that means, Blake?
Sorry, I'm looking up Ginger Spice.
Oh, she had a breast reduction.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Travis Kalanick is 48.
He is the founder of Uber.
This did it for you?
Ginger Spice?
First of all, I was like 12 or 13.
I was just figuring out.
Is it because she's a little figuring out James McGreevy is 67
He is the
New Jersey
Gollon Sappel
Yeah, he was having
sex with a male prostitute
and doing like speed with him
and getting, they would would swear to god james
mcgreevy when this was found out uh they they would put up like club lights in their hotel room
so they could just be like his party super party time taking all kinds of crazy drugs
and the funny part was uh i guess his wife was going to stay with him this went on for several
years you know he was married and i remember the press conference because she went to it.
It was hilarious.
She's standing there.
He's like, yes, I have a boyfriend.
He's a prostitute.
We smoke crack together.
We've been having sex for years.
And there's just this poor woman standing next to him at a press conference.
Good God, lady.
That's a tough draw
my rabbit hole birthday is
Asia Carrera
former porn star
she's 51 today
you may recognize her
I don't know
but it's Asia Carrera
my guess based on that name
is the answer is going to be no.
Her real name is Jessica Steinhauser.
But she is half Japanese, half German.
Oh, got the old Axis porn star in there.
So, one of the notes on her is she's a member of Mensa.
She has an IQ of 156.
Despite being a celebrity member
of Mensa, the organization has refused
to link to her website because it contained
pornographic elements.
So her adult film career
started in 1993.
She became the first Asian performer ever to win the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award.
So she was pretty good.
Okay.
She got married in 2003 and retired from the porn deal.
She was actually in
The Big Lebowski
in the fake
porn movie called
Long Jammin'.
I guess it was in The Big Lebowski,
but I'm not familiar with that.
She is
an atheist.
In November
2014, she wore a colander on her head
for her Utah
driver's license photograph.
State law prohibits the wearing of hats
in driver's license photos, but there's
an exception for religious headwear.
And she wore hers
in honor of the
religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Apparently, she's one of about a dozen Utahns
to wear the pasta-farian colander.
What?
In their state ID photo.
In 2015, she was arrested for DUI.
She avoided, uh...
jail time, sentenced to house arrest.
Yeah.
She began studying at Dixie State University in 2015.
She began studying at Dixie State University in 2015.
She was joined later by her 11-year-old daughter, who is apparently very smart as well.
What?
She was the youngest student ever to attend college at Dixie State,
and the youngest full-time college student in the state of Utah.
After graduating from Dixie State in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology,
Carrera moved to Texas where she and her daughter
continued their joint educations
at Texas A&M.
Whoop!
So her daughter's doing post-grad
at like
17? Something like 17?
Something like that?
Yeah, and she's 50-something, or almost 50, I guess.
Carrera, former porn star, focused heavily on autism research.
Presented an original paper, Literature Review Synthesis, at a symposium in 2021 before she graduated with a
master's in special education
in 2021. Damn.
That's incredible.
You're going to pay tribute tonight
with the blockers off?
Asia Carrera.
I guess we could. Avoided that question.
We all could.
Well, shout out to her and her daughter. That's cool.
Born on this day
now dead, Marv Marinovich.
The dad.
Todd's dad.
Kevin Mitnick.
How do I know that name? Computer hacker turned
consultant.
He was like arrested in 1995. Do you know who that is?
Hold on.
Like he ended up being hired by... He did five years in 1995. Do you know who that is? Hold on. Like he ended up being hired by...
He did five years in prison.
Is this the guy?
Who?
Do you not remember the training that we took at work?
There was a guy?
Was he on our Cumulus training, you think?
Oh, was he?
I believe he's the guy who hosted it.
Kevin Mitnick.
I mean, he turned consultant.
Like, in fact, yes.
He's like, I used to be a computer hacker,
but now, like, that's why he can tell you how to avoid.
Dude, I'm 99% sure this is the guy that we watched.
He died in 2023.
I'm 99% sure.
Kevin Mitnickiss security awareness training.
There you go.
I mean, it was like an hour and 20 minutes long, so I remember his name.
Yeah.
Right when you said it, I was like, why do I know that guy's name?
And born on this day, now dead, JonBenet Ramsey.
Oh, tough.
Tough, man.
Died on this day.
You're just going to move past that that quick?
She knows who killed her, you know.
She knows?
Yeah.
That was the shirt.
Oh.
I know who killed me.
Died on this day.
We have Rick James.
We have John Hughes.
Couch.
I don't know that I get John Hughes.
I think I've tried, but maybe it's just a generational thing.
And died on this day in 2012, Dan Roundfield.
That's a former NBA player, I believe.
Yeah, Hawks, maybe?
I think so.
Yeah.
So he died at the age of 59.
It says here he drowned trying to save his wife.
So the moral...
Did she die?
I mean, you know, maybe there's at least like a...
The moral of the story is
you might just have to let her...
Just stand on the shore and just go...
Take a puff of your cigar or whatever.
The thing is, okay, now we talk about
what's worse being the surviving spouse.
Yeah, we should ask the players that.
That's our big debate.
Our quiz for the players.
But I would think it would be really bad to be her.
I know you would.
No, I'm saying.
If she lived?
No, she did live.
Okay, that's what I was asking.
No, but so I'm saying this is the one case I think it would be really bad
because she knows he died jumping in to get me.
Yeah.
Okay.
But think about it this way.
Okay.
Two scenarios.
Your spouse dies.
They just died.
They got sick.
It progressed very quickly.
They're gone.
Or they die in a car accident.
Do you have that?
accident do you have that or you go through life knowing that this person loved you so unconditionally that they were willing to take that risk and i don't think you would feel guilty about it i think
you would feel like i knew i loved that person and that validates the time i don't know i think
i think you could probably make peace with it and not feel guilty. You would feel proud that someone loved you like that.
But if they just die in a car accident, you're like, well, I mean, I guess I just ended.
Yeah, but that was out of nowhere and you had nothing to do with it.
You had something to do with this.
If you would have just worn your life jacket like he told you to.
It says she was on a float in calm water when a current took her out.
The ocean will do that.
You know, it's kind of moving all the time.
And Dan said, start paddling toward me, and it wasn't working.
Then he began to walk out to get her and then disappeared.
Like the current took him, too.
Well, that's quite a downer there.
And that was today in history.
