Let me tell you something that's a huge pain in my buns, Blake. I spent all day at a dealership Saturday and Sunday at Unfair Leasing. Oh no. Should have known when I walked in, right? Did they do your appraisal? They told me my car was worth nothing. Oh.

The guy was a jerk. You were not treated fairly. No, no. And he tried to hit on my wife, but he didn't know I liked that, so I think it was a sign of disrespect. And they did everything by carrier pigeon. They did, yeah, they made me do it,

and it took forever, but that's not where you'll get it Fairlease, they made me do it. And it took forever. But that's not where you'll get it at Fair Lease. FairLease.org. It's a quick process.

Look at that thing! The smallest one they offer. Yeah, the one I have. This is the smallest phone they offer now. Wow. Look at you. Hey, is this the same phone? Let's see. Let me see, because I actually don't know.

Yours is a little... Yeah, it's the same size. Welcome! I hate it! Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. I never listen, I'm gonna listen, I wanna listen to the dogs. Fairly snobby dogs. Fairly snobby dogs. Yup.

Yup. I'm gonna listen, I wanna listen, I wanna listen to the dogs. Alright, so happy Monday. Yo. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Cannon. I'm Blake Jones. And of course we have Clayton here.

No relation to the Plano something coach, Kimbrough. to the Plano something coach Kimbrough. Today we broadcast live to tape and live. I guess we're streaming. Are we streaming? I think so. Yeah look at him. And we're high atop my garage in the den. We're pregame talks of how to revamp this thing, how to step this thing up a little bit, how to... What'd you decide on? Uh, well, we did this. Clayton put that behind you. Yeah I saw that. Nice touch. The little dumb zone logo with a couple of Lone Star beers on either side of it. Hell yeah. So I see them. So that's really step one. Okay. But stay tuned. Well step two seems to be you

turn the clock back around. Yeah, that's an unfortunate development. Oh, that was bothering me over the weekend. We seriously can't change the time on it? I'll change the time. I'll do it today. We don't have a speaker for our sit-ins? No, and it's driving me crazy.

Blake has ruined the speaker situation. And I left my headset in Galveston. It may have to refund this. Galveston? They shipped it back. It may have to refund this. Galveston? They shipped it back today. May have to refund this. I called him when I was like an hour or whatever away. I was like, what do we need?

Do we need this? He's like, no. We're an absolute mess. Yeah. Yeah, we suck. And we got a big sausage party up here today as we got a couple of dudes sitting in. Oh, so Jake has the sit-in guest headset is that

what's going on here? Mm-hmm. I was not made aware of that. I was I just thought we had extras. We do. I forgot it. Oh hell yeah. Am I allowed to use your name? Okay this is Grant Reeves. He is sitting in today. He looks like a Grant Reeves. You think? Yeah because. Looks put together here in my yeah He does but I also know that for sure this guy's throwing a keg off a building before He looks to me whenever I think grant Reeves I think of Bryant big country Reeves and this guy just has like a big country Reeves vibe to me He's trying to turn you on. Yeah. Okay, just everything sucks today.

How's it now? That doesn't work either. Oh well, it's fine. We'll figure it out. He says that is his nickname. He was an offensive lineman at Kansas State and he's a large man. Okay. Yeah, I should probably stop asking questions. He's here with his brother who looks like... A firefighter. Wouldn't you say? I don't know, he looks like the guy who'll keep Grant in line a little bit. If Grant starts to get out of control, he's, he seems like the guy who's the steady hand on the helm, but maybe not, but we'll talk to them later. I'm excited about that. As, um, maybe we can't talk to them now. And I'm,

I'm getting yelled at about the the clock that's turned around but lots on today's program it looks like we have sports it looks like the the big sports thing we have is Jared Sandler Rangers preview time weekly weekly with Jared Sandler is he going to be on Thursday as well no okay because he's Because he's all running around with his head cut off like a chicken with his head cut off. Never actually seen it. You've never seen a chicken with its head cut off? Nope. I've seen, uh, like a snake.

Uh huh. I've seen somebody chop a, I've seen that in person, obviously, like a grandfather. Uh-huh. Get the shovel. Oh, I've done that. The spade and just chop the head off. That I've seen, but I've never seen an actual chicken decapitated. I don't want to say I have a buddy, but I have an acquaintance.

Because I by no means was real buddies with this guy. He was a nut in high school, but apparently he had a backyard full of chickens and would revel in cutting their heads off and then they would run around. He's the same guy that we have come to find out is now like the Ohio spokesman for the Bigfoot organization. You remember him? Yes. Did we actually have him on? I don't think we ever had him on. It was an idea. It was an idea. That checks idea. I think his name is Mark DeWorth.

Okay, and Yeah, I believe he's stoked on Bigfoot and I believe he also had chickens That they would decapitate and thought that was fun, but that was only a secondhand I have never seen it, but yeah yeah they probably freak out a little bit so I think I think your point is taken how was your weekend are we into a weekend check why not I'm gonna let Blake get to work over there and figure out what he needs to do and grants Mike is working we can do that okay I'm still working on

Tracy speaker hey grant how you doing doing all right he is put together how you doing yeah no looks like a is put together. How you doing? Yeah, no looks like quarter zip looks like he's got a real job. Yeah, got real pants. He does have real pants pants great haircut But you're from Kansas City or you live in Kansas City now Okay, why'd you stay there? met my ex-wife and broke my mom's heart and didn't come back to Richardson grew up in Richardson and Played football at Kansas State and stayed up there. Okay. What'd you play? offensive tackle

That checks. Yeah Yeah, I see you meet some people and you just they say I was an offensive lineman in the 1990s and you're like I know You know have to tell me I Can just look at you. So yes Jared will join us today because opening day is Thursday We will be out there. We will have details for you on the specifics of the lot, but we'll be out there We'll have a friend Joining us specifics of the lot, but we'll be out there. We'll have a friend joining us, the great Jim Knox.

I feel comfortable teasing that now. Jim Knox Wireless, Jim Knox doing bits. So look, we've got demographics on all of you, but we don't actually try to use them. We're not trying to get into your personal, we're not Doge over here. So we could find you, but rather than do that, I'll just put out the call if you're Asian. We need you Somehow you don't even have to say it They'll know Jim Knox. Yeah, there's some spidey sense type thing. They return to him like he's Mecca

Yeah, they all just turn east. Somehow they somehow they know where, what's going on here? Yeah. I don't know, I need to go over to Lot B. I can feel it. Why? But we're having our thing here. Well, let me just take a walk real quick. And they get there, they're like, oh, I see.

And he's over there doing karate. But you're also, don't pinch and hold Jim Knox. Oh, I know. If you're 100. You used to do big 12 day. Yeah, if you're like he'll find something he probably frankly has been on the sideline for a Grant Reeves game before because he used to do a ton of that college football big 12

sideline stuff that's when he got ran over by that damn Buffalo yeah he's nothing but bits so Thursday there's a game and it's a party day. And we suggest, for that party day, Elite Rides DFW. Ooh, what a good idea. It is a great idea. They are your premier transportation solution. They're super easy to book. Try them, 844RIDE DFW. Tell them you heard about it on the dumb zone.

Or book using the app. They got an app. It's got AI. Everybody's got AI. It's an uploading world. The promo code on the app, DZ15, that gets you 15% off your first ride. It's super, super simple. So clean. So clean. They got SUVs. They got mini buses. And you know what you're getting. Splinter vans. Not like a, if you Uber or something, you don't know. No. What

kind of jalopy. I'll tell you something about Elite Rides. Is that a word? Jalopy. I've heard it before. Yeah. Reminds me of Ohio for some reason yeah elite rides if you want to stop and get food they will On the other end you might try one of those big box ride services And you don't know maybe the driver just stops and gets food for himself. I've had that happen really You know what that that ride was not elite no But it elite rides 844 ride DFW use the promo code DZ15 on the app for 15% off, and go out to Rangers Opening Day. Which I am doing. Bought tickets.

Oh yeah? Yeah. Very excited. Been a long time. Don't think I'll throw up this time. I don't remember if I threw up last time. Last year? No, like last time I went to opening day, my wife and I and a bunch of our friends,

we had a good run going and it was just an absolute. Oh yeah. Yeah. Drinking and baseball go together for sure. Okay, weekend check. I will tell you that I have a bunch of things that happened that I'm not really going to get into where I usually would. I would usually tell you about the wife telling me on Saturday,

Oh, I forgot to tell you that I have a girls night tonight. I was like, ho, ho. On a Saturday? You know what's great about that is sometimes when they're gonna go do their own thing on Saturday, it starts a little bit earlier. Oh yeah, no, she went out at 4.30. And then she was like, oh we might go at four. Oh hey, do your thing. I've already got my plan. Which was to, I don't know, I did something really crazy like grocery shopping or something. I just like to get things put together. But. Any bitches? I did sit down and since it wasn't her, you know, we watch White Lotus together, we watch Gemstones together,

we watch Severance together, so I couldn't use one of our shows that we watched together, so I sat and watched Greatest Events of World War II in color on Netflix. God damn, run the ball guy is excited. And it was so good, and I got through two and a half episodes. Episode three is Pearl Harbor.

Unbelievable. Who made it? I don't know. It's Netflix. OK. But greatest events of World War II. And if you think you knew everything about World War II, did you see it all in color?

I don't know if you did. Eh? Did you ever go back and do? I don't know if you did. Eh? Did you ever go back and do the Peter, what's the Hobbit guy's name? Peter Jackson did World War I. Oh, really? Yeah, right? A World War I video?

Yeah. Oh, OK, no. I don't think I did. What's really- They shall not grow old. I mean, obviously, World War II is very very cool because you probably have a lot more video Yeah, but this was cool too because I'd never seen it in color before and it's oh World War one in color What's it called they shall not grow old?

Okay, well they should have named it World War one in color and it'd be easier to find that you're right They shall not grow old seems like it sucked man Seems like a non-chill time. World War I? Yeah. Like I've almost convinced myself that I would've enjoyed Vietnam. Just with the homies, you know?

Just smokin' doobies. Okay. Hittin' on your future wife or something. But World War I and World War II. But one in particular. It's a slog. I just don't think I was built for that. Yeah.

Saturday afternoon, interviewed Bo Rollins. Got a little business Wednesday in the can. Nice. You'll hear that on From the gas monkey place? No, he's the kangaroo case guy. Nobody? He bought a That's awesome. He targeted a company, bought it, built it up, sold it. Did he do a hostile takeover? I don't know if

you would call it that. It seemed to be a about was, or is, I guess it could be considered a big deal because it was a birth. Well first there was a death and a birth. And sometimes, oftentimes in these situations, they do go hand in hand, but you may remember 2020. COVID? That's a long time ago. But yeah, 2020, a long time ago, is when me and my little iPhone 12 mini got together.

Oh, no way. No! It fits so perfectly in your hand. So now here you are and you're like, oh, I need to check something out. I need to play a little wordle and then just do this. Just with one hand. No way. The thumb can go right up and down there.

I bet he found like an 11 online. No, he went... Did you come to the dark side? So I said, look, they don't even offer this mini anymore. No, it belongs to the Smithsonian. Yeah. So we have now gone... Whoa! That thing is giant! Look at that thing! The smallest one they offer. Smithsonian. Yeah. So we have now gone, whoa!

That thing is giant! Look at that thing! The smallest one they offer. Yeah, the one I have. This is the smallest phone they offer now. Wow. Look at you. Hey, is this the same phone?

Let's see. Let me see, because I actually don't know. Wow. Yeah, it's the actually don't know. Wow. Yeah, it's the same size. That's interesting. Yeah. Welcome. Welcome, gay boy.

I hate it. Why? It's just too big. I mean, obviously, it's holding the battery well. Like, this thing, I've got a new battery last summer. Boy, just everything you could. Trying to do renovations to Texas Stadium. Do you remember the blanket that I had that your mom fixed fixed for me? Like I had a blanket that I would not

get rid of it was so ripped up his mom's company like fixed it up for me re-sewed it but it was just out of you know stuffing it falling out and but I just loved it and I can't I can't let go of things and Yes, I love this. I love the size. I love everything about it, but then the planned obsolescence of the battery Yeah, and Last summer I got a new battery for 80 bucks and thought well That's a lot better than a thousand or whatever you have to pay for a new phone these days You know, I don't really pay attention. It's just another 30 bucks a month on your bill. Um, but yeah, now, but then this, like right now it's reverted back to that,

the battery dying. So apparently they gave me a nice one year battery. That looks about right. And so I could have just gotten another battery for this thing, but then it's getting so old that certain apps aren't even able to, oh, it won't. That, I feel like, is a bigger shaft than planned obsolescence. Like planned obsolescence, it's like,

look, your phone's gonna suck until you bend the knee to us and buy a new one. But the apps thing is like, I pay for the Disney app, okay? Yeah. And you're telling me my old iPad can't upload the new app. I want to pay you, but it won't let me put it on the iPad for the kids, so it's useless.

I also didn't turn this phone in. I don't know what I could have gotten. Maybe 30 or 40 bucks in the trade-in thing. I mean, dude, you might be coming around the other side of the curve, where that thing's like a record player. Well, that's the thing I have never I guess besides the I think I gave my mom one of my old phones

But the other other than that I have a lot of my old phones, you know I have the first iPhone I ever got so I think that's I don't know why but it's kind of cool to have it You know, so I feel like you think that's my weekend boy then all day Sunday it's like well it's got a download and it's got a it took you know a couple hours the transfer all this kind of stuff and just a lot easier now than it used to be it is a lot easier kids don't remember yeah so I plugged in an old hard drive of mine the other day from 10 to 15 years ago Through multiple converters. That's exciting. Dude. Just don't don't do that with your wife in the room

You never know. Of course not. Yeah it just really took me back to the days of like having an iPod and downloading days of like having an iPod and downloading thousands and thousands of mixed tapes and having to keep them on a hard drive so I could drag them over to my iPod or manually copy them into Apple, I guess iTunes. What a beating. Do we realize how, like podcast, I found like four years

of fresh air podcasts on a hard drive that I would drag and drop over on my iPod every couple days Because he was getting full just everything is so easy now Yeah Did you ever have a CD collection? Oh, yeah, dude And so you had to go take all that time to load them into your iPod. Oh, yeah. Oh Yeah, speaking of do you have the ability to convert? This is more of an off-air topic the ability to convert You had to go take all that time to load them into your iPod? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Speaking of, do you have the ability to convert? This is more of an off-air topic.

The ability to convert DVDs to MP4s or.MOVs for me? I can. OK. I have a treasure trove down here. Yeah, Clayton definitely can. That I found in the move. It's just five DVDs. Elgato?

Do you use Elgato? Or Elgato is a thing I think for... Yeah, the capture thing, but there's another way to do it. Regular video. I have five DVDs that I found in my move back in that just say Jake and Joe childhood. Oh wow. Yeah. That's very exciting.

DVDs? Yeah, they're on this. What are the expected tapes? They've been through that process. Oh, okay. So it got digitized and... Okay, good. Yeah. Maybe I may have some fun

some fun battles to show you soon. That's what we did this weekend was drive home. Saturday was sick though. I rented a golf cart for the first time on the beach. That was awesome. Tearing ass. Kids are loving it. They're simple. You drive 20 miles an hour in a golf cart on the beach for half an hour and it's the most fun they've ever had in their life. Did you let them drive? Yeah. Let them drive.

Do the pedal. Sit in my lap a little bit. Chappy's about to cop one up in his retirement community. Of course he is. He bought like a, it's used but it's like super tricked out. They're not as expensive as I thought. It was like 5200 bucks. And they'll use it every day.

I remember I once priced used Segways. What would you have done with that? I don't know. It was obviously silly. A bit? It was too much. Yeah. This is not a bit for my dad, dude. It was like 200 bucks, I'll get one, but it wasn't. It was obviously silly. It was too much. Yeah. This is not a bid for my dad dude.

It was like 200 bucks, I'll get one, but it wasn't. It was like three grand. But five, I mean he's going to, he'll drive it to the gym within his community, the pickle ball, pool, golf. Like he just will take it everywhere. But they love it though. The kids. It was, it was a lot of fun. I did have a moment where I was like, do I have rich kids? Like cuz my mom was self-employed like starting her senior year of high school and still is now 50 years later Do really rich people have the same thing that they're worried about it what I think middle-class people kind of have is the I'm just worried about

Them not understanding. We had to pack sandwiches to go to the ballpark when I was a kid, and now you're just going to get them nachos and hot dogs. My wife is really into that. Like, making them suffer more. Yeah, I know. We need to.

Her heart's in the right place. Because she suffered. I don't know. And I don't know. I don't have a good answer. I listened to you and Bob talk about this for 20 years and thought about it a lot and I don't have a great answer, but it's like. Now here I am, I can go get a golf cart.

Yeah. It's not gonna put me back. You're not buying a golf cart, you're renting a golf cart. No, no, but just the whole weekend of like, hey, your grandparents have a beach house. Yeah. Now again, my mom is a grinder. She's been self-employed for 50 years,

this was like her dream, she pulled it off. I'm not sitting here telling you that she could retire tomorrow, but she made it to this point, and I remember hearing about kids when I was growing up, they're like, oh, my parents and my grandparents have a lake house or a beach house, being like, what the,

you just go there? And my kids just don't even realize, this is crazy, this is like people's vacation. And we're just don't even realize, like, this is crazy. This is like people's vacation. And we're just down there. Yeah, it was a great time. Turns out, everyone, if you remove alcohol from the situation, you're a lot less likely to re-litigate all of your family disputes and trauma of the last 40 years.

You just kind of hang out. Enjoy each other. You do a lot of bad mouthin' of alcohol these days. It's pretty sick. Yeah. Every week it's like, man, I actually enjoyed this movie. There's a weird thing too where I think if you're like a go hard guy and the people around you drink,

I feel like they drink more, they start to come to your level a little bit. And now it's like. And that gets everybody. And now I think so. And now it's a little more down for them. And everybody just has a chill time. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

And then yesterday, just a freaking disaster. Okay, so when we drove down, nailed it. Filled up the night before, or that morning, whatever. Everybody gone to the bathroom., or that morning, whatever. Everybody had gone to the bathroom, totally good, water, snacks, drove two and a half hours, had a 30 minute lunch, drove two and a half hours. Never stopped. It was zen, beauty.

Yesterday, three stops before halfway. It was a mess. You're not making that time up. And I was trying hard too. When I got to 100 miles from 30 on 45 I said I want to make that in 75 minutes and I did. Dang. I was bawling. That's awesome. You guys would have been proud of me. Yeah. But I don't have much else other than I watched White Lotus last night. I don't know. I guess this is a spoiler if you haven't seen it So skip like a minute ahead, but my that show sucks

It's not a good show. It's never been a good show behind Well, you know how it is though like You've said before the build-up to it is just like dude. Come on. There's a lot of plant and seeds I'm confused as to whether I like severance now that I've seen See finale of episode or of season two This weekend did not do a lot to get me cuz I was like real close to I'm just gonna bite the bullet and do this It'll be cool for the show and Dan and then over the weekend. Everyone's like, I don't even know if it's good I'm like what like I'm very it's very cool

But it's like all the journey and never, like I thought I'm going to get a little payoff. It's season two, the finale. And I don't feel like I got any payoff. That's the thing about the show. I feel like the writers and the producers are really jerking off on each other. That's how I feel about White Lotus.

How artsy this is. But like, what does it mean, though? Give me something. That's how I feel about White Lotus because it looks incredible. They go to these exotic locations from Italy to Thailand to Hawaii. It looks super cool.

There's cool soundtrack. It's just not that much happens. And Mike White, not the Jets quarterback, but the guy who created this show. Western Kentucky? Great work. I think you're right on. I saw a comment from him after the the viral scene last week where Sam Rockwell is telling Walton Goggins

It he's so addicted to sex or was that he was paying dudes to bang him while an Asian prostitute watched And Mike White was interviewed. He's like, I think I'm a little bit of an edge Lord Like oh, you know a self-proc edgelord. Like, oh, you know. A self-proclaimed edgelord? Yeah. Right, like he's an edgy guy, that's what that means? He's a dork, but I think he's saying like, oh, sometimes I get a little crazy. I'll write this weird shit.

Well, what he wrote last night was a scene where the two brothers get so hammered and so X'd out of their minds that they're involved in some level of a threesome and it involves one brother going full handy to his brother. Rugey. They rugies him.

And they're like, and I'm like, dude, come on. I've done ecstasy with my brother. I'm not drunk. OK, so is it kind of like the non-drug user, non-pop smoker writing a movie about people that smoke pot. They're just laughing and they're like, oh, I'm on ecstasy. Like hey, they must do that. It's the love drug, right?

I might just chill and watch a Diplo concert or, I don't know. I feel like that show has jumped the shark a little bit. Speaking of TV then, what did you do this weekend, Clayton? That seems to be Clayton's. I don't know if Clayton has a mic anymore. Oh. Oh well. We'll have to figure it out.

He watched Gemstones and informed me that- You can tell us tomorrow. He informed me that Sean Williams Scott is back making a cameo in Gemstones, which gets me right. What do you mean back? Was he on Gemstones before? No, just that he's back in. Oh, OK.

I haven't seen him in a while. I've enjoyed him just that he's back. Okay. I haven't seen him I've enjoyed him and everything he's ever been in right. It seems like a good dude walk. I against you Yeah, like there are certain actors that they're always great We're just gonna assume that's what he did since I left that set So I nailed it oh Oh, this, okay. Yeah, yeah. My bad. No, it's my bad too.

So, if I'm. Not mine. No. If I'm established the run guy, I think I had a little bit of a false start weekend. Oh. Where, you know, I try to stay busy on the weekends just to get the kid out of the house

and away from a screen, and then it ends up becoming more work than during the week. Like the weekends supposed to be fun, but now my weekends aren't. So it's weird, like I'm shooting myself in the foot. Because Saturday, woke up, got the kid to gym, gymnastics. Gymnastics, don't try to hard on us.

Yeah, me and my son went to the gym. Yeah, we went to to gym. Gymnastics. Gymnastics. Don't try to hard on us. Yeah, me and my son went to the gym. Yeah, we went to the gym. Yeah, hit a couple RDLs. I bet that is what you tell people who don't know your son tumbles, too. Yeah, we just go every Saturday morning. We're at the gym.

He and I hit the gym. I tell him, yeah, you ready to go to the gym? Yeah, yeah. Gym at nine. Put on your tutu. Nephew T-ball game at 10.30. Ooh. Her family get together in Fort Worth at one. She's at work.

She's at work. It was her cousin's birthday or something. Jesus. That's way too far off. That's not yeah like sister or brother you'd go to by yourself but wife's cousin's birthday if she ain't there you ain't there. Well unless the cousin's hot. He is stans is He... Stands? Uh, is now cancer free so felt like

Okay. It's a bit of a celebration of life. Can I ask the question? Go ahead. How many years does that last? Is this the first one after he beat the big C? Yeah, he beat the big C earlier this year. Okay. So, felt like it was a big deal.

You could have led with that. I didn't want to. Didn't want to. Hey, I'm really happy for you, pal. All of us here at the dumb zone are. A plug for one of our fine sponsors, people that have just beat the Big C are big lovers of early bird CBD.

Really? Yes. I have some possibly good news in the news today. OK. He was very appreciative of his gift, bottom. I did a big order this weekend. Good. Good.

But hold on, though. I think what he's telling us right now, and we're not going to put this in our sales deck, right? We're not going to pin this tweet. deck, right? We're not gonna pin this tweet. But the dumb zone helped this guy beat cancer. Basically, made his, yeah, made his life a little more comfortable by using the promo code DUMBZONE to check out.

So yeah, just all sorts of busy, got up, tried to play softball, got our freaking heads kicked in. Yesterday? Yeah. Both games? the first one and It's a thing where You like a rod on the Rangers?

Just like people will come to the park to see you, but you don't even want to be there Well the thing is is like I don't know with the kid and all that kind of stuff when I get out the softball I'm like, okay. This is my time, I got two hours, just to let it ride, be competitive, be a part of a team, comradery, all that kind of stuff. And then we get out, we're down 10-nothin', and then I just turn into the biggest douchebag, and I feel bad about it.

Like you're yellin' at people? No, I'm not gonna yell at people but sliding hard No people on the other team are trying to talk to me I'm not really giving them much like about the show no oh they don't know who you are Well like I I got on because of an error some guy told me nice hit and I said no it wasn't That kind of stuff. Oh, okay I'll give a little shit talk. Yeah, I'll give a little bit. Okay. Yeah, I what that was What's the his angle there to rob you of like hey, you know, it wasn't really a hit

I think he was genuinely trying to be a nice person. Okay, that's so foreign to me. I didn't recognize But just in that state, I don't know. I just turned into a douchebag and I'm sorry And then the other thing that really bit me was we got a new, we got upgraded internet. Like we got a faster speed. And I'm pretty sure it's because of Ownwell, if I'm just gonna turn this into a giant spot. Yeah, why not?

Because I just got an email from Spectrum saying, hey, you're eligible for an upgrade. I didn't do anything. I know Ownwell had recently checked the price. Maybe they did it, maybe they, I don't know. Who knows? Anyway, had to get a new modem and router and I couldn't change the name back to the original name.

So I had to make a new one, which means the TVs had to get reset, our Nest had to get reset, my sprinkler box had to get reset, our phones had to get reset, my sprinkler box had to get reset, our phones, our tablets, everything in our house had to get reset. Garage door opener with me. Just everything, it was a ginormous beating.

Yeah, that is, man. That's an underrated thing. And I have those like Euro repeaters, you know? Yeah, we have a matching sender too. Kind of read sugar with that. A few things like that happen with the new phone too. Couple things, don't know the Yeah, we have a messaging center too. You have to go in and kind of read. A few things like that happen with the phone, the new phone too. Yeah. A couple things don't know the password and it's like, oh no, I don't either. It's got to be one of these three or four things I always use as a password or the... But then there's a couple variations on those

too, like well maybe I put in an exclamation point or maybe it's capitalized or yeah it takes a long time. Modern beating. For sure. I'm looking at Dr. C's picks and he didn't have you guys winning either one of these either. Well he could suck it. Wait you won the second game. Yeah we won the second one but. But 14 to 2. But he's a guy who remembers the losses more. Yeah for sure. Yeah I was just I've been in a pissy mood ever since. Yeah. And then add this Wi-Fi nonsense onto it. But good news.

Good news. God, you're boring. I think the word nonsense is run the ball guy. For sure. Yard's getting aerated today. Weed and feed. We're going to get, yeah. Slant flat mesh, or you or you know drive the corner on

the so the stick is the underneath route and then the inside goes corner on the yard air raid That's good. I don't understand. It's very good. Oh air eight very good very good. Was it good. I think so the Kansas steak guy I think so okay So yeah, we're at first and 15 right now. But three good runs gets us into fourth and short. I don't know what air rate means. Like the actual term. I think it means plug holes. I think they poke holes in your dirt.

OK. And then air gets down there. Yeah, and get to the soil. All right. Makes sense. Because you know, that's how they, you know, you see the rolling fields of, I don't know, Scotland or wherever has a rolling field. Like, that's how they, you know, those, you see the rolling fields of, I don't know, Scotland or wherever has a rolling field, like that's what they do.

They have to do that or else the grass just won't grow. Like if you don't weed and feed, like you can't, like these forests, that's how the forest is. So is my kid a real kid? What do you mean? Oh yeah. I mean, you know, sometimes you got to aerate the pussy. my kid also a little medical. I got fake kids, too. Yeah We're real though

Was Blake done? Yeah. Oh Okay, sorry you want to do should we do sports or today in Twitter to start things off man? I don't care man. I don't care. Let's do today in Twitter because it's also sports. And it has a sponsor today... Qualis Roofing. Qualis, Qualis, Qualis. QualisGC.com. They put the roof on my house. Look at it Grant. Right above us. Yeah, are you dry? Thank you Wallace roofing Are you getting sunburned right now? No, thank you Wallace roofing. Are you nice and cool and comfortable? That's right Wallace roofing

They're awesome. They're big supporters of the program So much so that if you just call them or program, so much so that if you just call them or schedule a visit just to get your roof checked out on their website, they will give you a free subscription to our show or a dumb zone t-shirt. And then if you get a roof from Qualis, like I did, they'll give you a free sit-in. And you can sit in in our studio or here at the den or maybe you pick a cowboy game watching party anything you want yeah anything you want all while knowing that while you're enjoying the show you will not die from a faulty roof yeah they say you're one guarantee we can make you're supposed to get your roof inspected insurance companies would like you to do it every six months. I would say at least every year.

That sounds like a good spree. I never even thought about that. No, never. Yeah, but you should do so because they might be able to help you out. If you've got to deal with your insurance company, they'll do it. They take that off your plate. They do all the calling back and forth, And you just get a beautiful new roof. And they're going to leave stuff everywhere.

And it's going to be gross and messy. No way. Cleanup's excellent. Check them out. QualisGC.com. Yeah, there's a lot we can get to. Let's pull up our, let's, let's. I saw this.

This is a quickie. Okay. Yesterday was the anniversary, apparently, of Brian Collins. Ball State freshman Brian Collins. Dan. I always think of Dan when I see this story. Okay, this is Brian Collins. Twenty years ago, this story. Okay, this is Brian Collins 20 years ago this weekend. This

is what happened on Ball State student television or whatever. Yeah, they're doing sports. The Indian Pacers are looking for a measure of revenge tonight against the New Jersey Nets and to strengthen their playoff hopes. The Nets won the last Sunday's matchup 94 to 85 which left the Pacers one game behind the Chicago in the seventh series spot. Let's check out the highlights. There are pictures of...Steven Jackson's... basketball players passing and making shots. Reggie Miller's looking good. He shoots a three and it's good. Later he gets the rebound, passes it to the man, shoots it and boom goes the dynamite. The final score is ended up with the Pacers 63 to the net 61.

So why do you always think of me? Because everybody played that. This is probably like my E-bombs era. Like I was, you know E-bombs, right? Were you on into that? That was my homepage. And so this was just constant. Like this was like a quotable movie to me.

Everybody would play it, make fun of it, remix it. And you were the first person I ever heard kind of say, which is shocking, because it's the mark of like a good person, like this is shitty. Like the kid's working on his game. How can you ever do that? That was kind of your point, is like this is a college tape

Yeah, it's a college station. It's a college tape Certainly, I have as bad or worse stuff from when I was that young When is it alexi Yeah Did it on the ticket well now you're on the number one one station in Dallas and you're messing up a ticker. That's a different bar. Yeah. We should replay that over and over and laugh at you because you, you know, you're a ticker guy. This is, you're getting paid to do this job. He's a kid.

So I didn't find this wonderful and hilarious, I just thought it was stupid that people were going nuts over this. Like if Dan Patrick had done that or stumbled or whatever, that's funny. You know, if somebody... it's like maybe it's kicking down or punching down. Yeah, no there's something to that but I think there's also... But I just, yeah, I didn't join in on that. Sometimes the life of a media story, I think, as it goes. For example, my mom and my kids say boom goes the dynamite to each other. There's no chance.

Sure, this got big. There's no chance my mom could tell you where that came from. Yeah, and that's why I played it today. Now it became a transcendent story. So I think there's a lot of people who might even see the clip and think it's funny, but they don't even really know that it's like a hard time for him.

They're just like, oh, it's a funny internet clip. You know what I mean? But for people in the media to be like, look at this clown, is a little bit weird. But yeah, no, that was an era. That's what I really wish I could get is not a 15-year-old hard drive. What I really wish I could get is not a 15 year old hard drive. What I really wish I could get

is a pre-YouTube browsing history. Of you? Or any of your friends, just to see, it was a lawless land out there. When you didn't just have Google and YouTube to be like, okay, I'll just find what I need immediately. Not to do a whole throwback show, but I mean, we all had college humor and

cracked.com and rotten.com. I guarantee you the big man back here was devouring Web 1.0. Did you use, what did you use for search? I was a Yahoo search guy. Let me tell you what I used. I used whatever search engine had infected my computer based on the most recent download program.

And I'm like, what is this? I never even heard of Bing. And it's just defaulted on my computer now because I'm using it. Because you bought a gateway or something? Or no, because I was using, when you would download these illegal file ripping programs, they would just attack your cute computer with all this other stuff, which is probably how a lot of people get caught.

Not everybody has their mom walk in while they're standing up, pantsless, and their socks on in the kitchen. That was a long moment. What did you have before Mac? Or did you always have a Mac? No, I didn't have it. You had one before me. Because I had like a Gateway and a Dell.

Dell. Dell was the pretty standard, beaten. You know, it was like $200 or $300 at the college store. Another classic back in the limelight on Twitter over the weekend. Tiger Woods Woods folks. Oh yeah. Tiger Woods who dealt with an Achilles injury most recently and he's not playing like for the foreseeable future. He won't play ever again. Well one thing is true if he does win again it's gonna

be far enough into the future that Dan is right He will be the oldest to ever do it because it's not happening in the next couple years In fact, he's not gonna play golf in the next year. No if ever again But I don't like what I'm hearing here what he is doing is Finding love and Improving his personal life. We go to a tweet that he posted yesterday afternoon. It's a photo of him and a woman that looks a lot like the lady he was with before, I don't know,

Elan Nordgren or... It seems like he has a type. A type, and that's, what was the skier lady? Lindsey. Lindsey Vonn. That's what this woman looks like to me, and this woman is Vanessa Trump. Oh So his type is hot blonde. Yeah, and like a certain level of light. Well, no Hold on though. I think you take that like I'm not interested in her at all

Legitimately that she does nothing for me but think about it like You know, I mean different different people, different, she's just not, she's not my type. But Tiger consistently seems to like people he looks like, they look like they hang out at a country club. And she is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. And they have a child together. We'll get to the child in a second.

But the tweet, with one photo that looks kind of normal, like somebody else took it of them, it's next to a photo of them laying in a hammock, which means somebody else definitely took that photo. And he's got his stupid little goatee and his Oakleys. She's laying on his chest. And it just says, love is in the air and life is better with you by my side.

We look forward to our journey through life together. Okay, cool, so he's announcing the relationship. He continues, at this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts. Of course, immediately leading to the comments of like, did you just post, here's my girlfriend to, don't ask me about it. Ask me about it, like't ask me about it?

Like just don't say it. Like the celebrity argument is I'm going to get control of this before someone else does, but people already knew they were dating. Yeah, I didn't understand the point of it. Like obviously it's kind of like putting your girlfriend in your, the old days Facebook profile picture. Yeah. Which I believe you did at one point

and that caused you so much ridicule that you just deleted Facebook. For putting in an interrelationship? I thought you put like a picture of you and Kristen on your Facebook page. We all noticed it. No, what happened was, maybe but. Monday you come in and it's like,

oh hey, I guess you're dating somebody, look. Definitely. This is what you gotta do nowadays. Once I hit interrelationship and I put that as a status, you guys made fun of me and I nuked my Facebook profile that night. I was like, look. Because I started.

That's a lot of pressure to have that button. I started board hopping with you guys and was like, uh-uh. Not happening. Having that button is a lot of pressure. Like from her, perhaps. Yeah. Unknown pressure, I guess. I mean, the funny thing.

Do you have pictures of yourself with your old girlfriends on your Instagram page? No, I nuked them. Yeah, you do it. You did. You do a clean up. That's a common thing. No, I'm a baby about that kind of stuff.

So if she had a picture of her with the dude? Wait, say that again? If she had a picture of her on the dude? Wait, I'm sorry, say that again? If she had a picture of her on her Instagram. Like an old boyfriend. Have you scrolled through to see if she does? Oh, of course. Of course. Yeah.

Did she delete them? And you would be against it? Yes. Why? I mean, it's her life. It's her history. No, no, no, I know. At the time, I'm more with you now.

But 10 years ago, when I'm 25, no, that stuff bothered me. Especially like- That's when you want a body count. For sure, that's, yes. Now you have no interest in that. Yeah, I would tell my former self to don't ask. To be honest with you, if I were single again right now, if I were going to get back in the game,

the only role body count would play for me is I would be like, are you over 50? Because otherwise you don't know what you're doing, and I'm 40 and don't have any time to waste yeah like I'm not interested in a lady who's like oh it was just with a couple people and my husband I'm dying we need to get weird but when you were in your 20s yeah yeah the other thing that was weird about it too like in your 20s was you would still see the guy out oh my my case, I was in my hometown, you know? So I'm like, boy, if I scroll back a couple months,

I'm like, here he is, it's that guy. He's here. Can't have that. And you know the crazy stuff she's doing, so oh my gosh. Yeah, right? She didn't just come up with that now. They didn't bring you to the big leagues at 19.

Yeah, she's been working on her game. Yeah, off of the side cages. So yeah, you know that guy was the beneficiary of that as well, or maybe he was the teacher. So one funny thing about the tiger and Vanessa Trump thing, and I could see this, if the children of very successful, famous, wealthy people wanted to complain, I could see this as being something to complain about because an account called

nuclear golf, it's just like a meme account for golf, uh, posted about the sage valley junior invitational this weekend. That is a 16 and under, I believe 16 year old miles Russell, uh, Russell at nine under par remember that Won the tourney one of the most prestigious junior events in the u.s. Other notables Charlie woods 11 over tied for 25th out of 36 boys and Kai trump 52 over dang 24th out of 24 girls Kai trump is the daughter of Vanessa Trump and DJ TJ. So we talked about this when they announced they would be in there.

Yeah, they didn't really belong in that tournament at all. It was kind of a Annika Sorenstam and the Colonial type thing. There are invites that you can offer and I didn't know it was even at the junior level, but apparently it is to get your tournament a little pub. Maybe that's good for you. Now, it's definitely because of pub, but it would be an even bigger pub if there was a story. Well, I don't know how old they are but here's my general point when they're of age and consenting can Charlie hook up with Kai what do you mean can they well like if tiger and the mom get married oh yeah cuz you know he's already probably

crushing well no I had a she's hot for a kid he's hot for a kid they're both I had a she's hot for a kid. He's hot for a kid. They're both I had a buddy who Had sex with both of his stepsisters whoa Damn his brother ended up wanting to marry one of them But like can you like went to his dad and said we're in love. Well, how long have they known each other and they didn't Know they didn't know each other until Like I the mom married The dad yeah, they were in high school. No, they didn't know each other until the mom married the dad. Yeah, they were in high school when they met.

But then they were college age. I might have been with one of them. Ah! Yeah, but they were your sister, though. No. No. She was fun. But how would society accept this?

Obviously, we have a long way to go, but rich people marry rich people. And Charlie Woods dated Ty Trump in four years. If Tiger and the lady are still together, and then the daughter and they would get away with it, for sure. Get away with it? Like, you think in general, society's not

going to be like, boy, that's a little weird. Eh. Okay. No, because it's not like they're going to be living together and growing up as brother and sister. If you grew up as brother and sister. Yeah, they're in their teens already. But they're not going to ever live together. Yeah, that's true. Um, Vanessa Trump though, went to her Wikipedia page.

And her personal history on her Wikipedia page is incredible. During her teenage years, Vanessa dated local street gangster Valentin Rivera, member of the violent gang Latin Kings. Do you think all this is true? I think so, yeah. I've told you about some of this before. In 1998 the rumor was she was dating Leonardo DiCaprio. From 98 to 2001 you've told me this. Vanessa dated Saudi Prince Khalid bin Bandar. There's more names but anyway you get the idea. He's a Saudi prince.

The relationship ended in 2001 when bin Bandar left the US after his ambassador who was the father or whose father who was the ambassador to the US was suspected of having indirect ties to individuals linked with al-qaeda. That's a super funny reason to break up so we've broken now babe It's not it's not you. It's me My dad did 9-eleven. Yeah, I gotta go home before they figure it out So in 2005 she marries DJ TJ

He proposed to her with a ring That was a $100,000 ring. My goodness, he loved her so much he spent $100,000. Actually, he did not spend the money. He got the ring as a gift from a jeweler in exchange for proposing to her in front of the jeweler's store with paparazzi around? I'm sorry. I know the guy's a nepo baby. That's a genius move. That's 100% Dan giving his wife a pajama gram through the station white spots and that's genius. And I just have to tip the cap.

Right. My wife would be upset at that. Well. I'd be like, look, I got the $100,000 ring. You'd rather me just pay $100,000? Yes. Then they had five children together. Oh, wow. There's so many of all of them. So many Elon babies.

Isn't she looking great for pumping out five kids, I would think? Yeah. Kai is the oldest, born in May 2007. Got divorced from Donald Trump Jr. in 2018. And then, yeah, started dating Tiger, it says, in November. And now their relationship is public. I mean, pound for pound, as it were. If you were to throw the run of Leo a Saudi Prince and DJ TJ

and Tiger Woods that four pack of wealth in 20 years I don't think you can find another woman who's gonna put together a murderer's row like that. It's the most famous athlete, Trump, or excuse me, Tiger, it's Trump, the most famous actor, and fucking Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, right? The money doesn't end. That's a run. You know, you stack up like Kim K,

and you're like, okay, Kanye, but then from there it's like Chris Humphries. Or something like that. Which makes you're like, OK, Kanye. But then from there, it's like Chris Humphries. Which makes you wonder, though, like usually, how can I say this? Usually, like, it's the hotter, more high profile ladies are in a way less desirable to be with, let's say, in bed. Right? Isn't there some kind of a balance thing of the, you know, less desirable to be with, let's say, in bed. Isn't there some kind of a balance thing of the she's

doesn't working for it. Yeah, she's going to work for it, or she's just going to lay there, all that kind of stuff. But then you think of certain ladies who are in these circles, and you're like, well, she must be great, though, because she's working hard within that world. It's kind of like the Mike Leach offense. What if you actually got five-star recruits

to be in that offense? Well, then they're going to put up historic numbers. So if she actually is going to work hard, if she's going to hustle after every loose ball and be this hot, then, yes yes now she is the cream of the crop and Can land a tiger woods a Saudi prince a You know the president's son or whatever look this is not quite the same resume But again Donald Trump jr. Is current girlfriend is the ex of Gavin Newsom

like the possible Democratic candidate. So there's mobility, like you get to that point and just keep grinding. That, hell, that one nookstress bag Bezos, look at that lady. That lady looks like a hooker. The new one? The new Bezos lady?

Yeah, not the teacher. Yeah. While we're on it, this is not- Well, congrats. Yeah, congrats. While we're on it. Oh yeah, this is the chick that Elon was eyeing at the... Zuckerberg was eyeing her. Oh, was it? Yeah. Elon was talking to her, but Zuckerberg was the one that was scoping her rack because she was wearing like a lingerie bra at the inauguration. And speaking of Trump, we're not talking politics, lay off me, this is hilarious. He had a post over the weekend

where he took issue with something, and I think this is super relatable because there was Dwyane Wade, but there's been Leo Messi. What are some of the bad portraits, sculptures we've seen of sports icons? Oh yeah. Just terrible. Yeah.

And another version of that is the portrait. When somebody decides to do a portrait of you and it just looks all jacked up. So somebody in Colorado had one posted and Trump posted about it. We can read it. This is the actual shot. I actually don't think it's that bad.

It looks like an old painting that you see of presidents from like the 1700s. It's very soft. Like it looks like a painting. But he was not happy with it. Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves. But the one in Colorado, the state capital, up by the governor along with all other presidents was purposely distorted to a level that even I perhaps have never seen before. The

artist also did Obama. He looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. I credit him for pointing out that he likes the Obama one there. Yeah. I thought he was gonna say the Obama is good, but he's the worst president ever. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one. People from Colorado calling to complain. They're angry about it. I was speaking to the radical governor, who is weak on crime, in particular with respect to the Latino gangs. He should be

ashamed of himself. So he did manage to take a shot at the Democratic governor of Colorado. He also says she must have lost her talent as she got older. Did I miss that? That's right in the middle. This one's funny because previously, like his two most, you know, listen,

I'm gonna have the hot take. Trump is not Hitler. Trump is not Kim Jong Un. But this is super dictator-y. The previous funniest thing was when he would say he would win golf tournaments or that he was 6'3", 215, like verifiably false things. But they're harmless, but this one's funny though,

because it's popular in the dictatorships to have a painting or a sculpture, and usually the people who get that wrong they just die Here in America, that's not so much the case but And then my last one for you you guys watch any college basketball over the weekend I haven't watched one second of it not one second just today in Twitter or sports. We're still with today in Twitter. Okay There was a big Calipari v. Patino matchup yesterday As they have both found themselves

One at Arkansas and Calipari's case and st. John's and Patino's case and They're just they're like Anachronistic I just don't know if they make them like those guys anymore. They're dirty as the day is long. They've both been wrapped up in all kinds of scandal. Generally just a-holes. They both had their high points and then hell, Patina was in Greece coaching and then he was at Iona. They're also, I guess at least with sports fans,

they're definitely household names. They are, but I do think a lot of casuals think they're the same person or can't tell them apart, my wife included. Well, that's coming now because, you know, but I'm saying they were when they were probably in their 40s, right? When they were young, 50s, 40s, 50s. Yeah, in the 90s for sure. And they continue to be

that. And yes, they're all morphing into the same guy in the end. But like, is that gone? Because of college basketball, as college basketball's, you know, importance wanes. Like, I don't know who the young hot coaches are. Like, the young coach who's gonna be somewhere for 20 years. Yeah, I used to hear that about, like, you know, like when Billy Donovan. The only one I could think of is the Gonzaga guy, Mark Few. You hear him a a lot Yeah, he seems pretty happy there the guy that went to Baylor was out there for a while Scott Drew Yeah, yeah, so it's got a rhyme with drew Well, so these two guys they faced off yesterday Calpari in Arkansas advanced they'll play tech Thursday night

That's cool. Oh I like that the Yukon guy got bounced and he was all yelling about the refs. That guy's a, yeah. He seems like a tool. Also, I think that whole story about him going to the Lakers was fabricated and never existed. Was that Shom's?

No, that was one of Woj's last things, I think. Okay. Wasn't that because Woj and he both were represented by the same agency? So Woj puts out the Lakers are going to make this enormous deal to lure Dan Hurley. We then learned it was like the seventh highest paid coach in the NBA and it wasn't this wonderful deal. It's like just a regular coaching offer, which he would never take to leave UConn,

yet that did allow UConn to up their price in locking him down for another extension like college coaches like to do. What a tangled web we weave. Yeah, but I was happy to see him. Yeah, that guy seems like a jerk. Get bounced. Not like a fun seems like a jerk. Get bounced. Not like a fun one.

So Calipari wins. And listen, these are Arkansas's colors, right? They're a red and white team. But if you wanna put up the image, did I put it in there, Clayton? The image of Calipari's suit. So here's the suit, right? It's a red and white checkerboarded suit. That's what most people see, but if you're cynical like me, and you know that this is John Calipari and he's coaching against Rick Pitino, and Rick Pitino's backstory, one of the original Kimpstins, is that he knocked up one of his assistants named Karen Seifer at an Italian restaurant called Porcini's

where the description of them having sex actually mentions the red and white checkerboard and tablecloth. He of course eventually tried to pay for her to have an abortion. He had his assistant go try to have that abortion with her, like guide her through it. They ended up falling in love,

and I believe ending up together. But there's mention of like, hey, it was a wreck. Did she get the abortion? Yeah. OK, I didn't know if she then had Rick Batino's son. She got an abortion. She was with the assistant. I think he was an assistant coach, or maybe he

was an admin assistant for a while. And then she propositioned, and I believe actually blew her lawyer. And her lawyer got disbarred for that. Okay. Resourceful. You're behind on legal bills.

She sounds like a lot of fun though. But the point is, is that... Like I'll volunteer to drive her somewhere. Probably. It looks like anyone that's with her is going to score. Probably it's just red and white Arkansas colors. Yeah. But to those of us who remember Porcini's,

because I read an article about them in the lead up to the game, a long athletic article. And I think it's kind of all a crock of BS, but they claim to basically not know one another. And it's that deal where you're such an A, type A, egotistical jerk that you are like I respect him but I don't even really know he's there because by acknowledging him that means he's like on your level so they're sitting up there being

interviewed together before the round of 32 and they're like yeah he seems like a good coach we've spent zero time getting to know each other and don't really care to there's no fake buddy buddy it was was just like, yeah, he's a good coach. Old Italian guys making fun of each other for banging on checkerboard tablecloths. And that's today in Twitter for today. And that was Today in Twitter. There's a lot. There's a lot in Twitter. A lot of stuff going on. Things are happening. One-day doors and closets. That's how you can replace your interior doors in just one day without any big construction in your house. And that makes a big difference. Walk around your house. Kind of look at your doors. You see like, oh yeah, that's kind of worn out

or it's kind of messed up. Just putting in a new door. What do they say? It's like hanging a new piece of art in every room. It really is. It really is. And I'm not an art guy. You get the art. You're like, what do I do with that? Just look at it with a door.

Get a nice color. It pops. It doesn't open and close all funky anymore. It just looks good. This is a massive upgrade. One day is a big deal. You could have this done for your wife or your husband just by the time they get home from work.

So imagine if Tony Busby had done this instead of buying expensive art. The lady he brought home wouldn't have been able to ruin that, didn't she ruin an art piece? She did. No, at first I was confused where you were headed because you were like, Tony Busby could have done this instead of, and I didn't know if you meant like prosecuting Jay Z for being a pedophile or any of the other stuff. Buying a tank. No, yeah. No, the art thing.

It plays though, I like it. Yeah, but they also. Don't buy art. Right, buy a door. Buy a door. I need to. They have advanced technology ensuring doors will even fit when the foundation has shifted.

How do they do that? All kinds of doors hinged. You don't even know what that means. Hinged is these. Okay. Right with the little things on them. Sliding. Okay. Not sure what bifold means. Do you know what that means? Yeah, that means they bifold. Oh, they go in and out like that like a saloon Sure, yeah, yeah, I don't know if they swing, but yeah, you know what you do But you know what I'm just call one day doors and ask do they have one of those half doors you ever open one? And it's just like the top part of the door. I like it. Yeah, it does say etc

so they may have some crazy shit that I don't even like they may let you build like a I Don't know like they may have a door you could it's just like shape like your body and only you could fit through that door that's what I'm saying it's like a key so anyways 940 969 4790 or one day Texas comm slash promo 30 if you buy one door yeah they're gonna give you to that's crazy wow so maybe buy one for yourself and donate one to us yeah at one day doors and closets I guess they could help with closet doors to those are generally sliding

right ours is not that I don't know man just What about a nice closet door with the mirror on it? Did you ever have one of those in your house? My wife has one. Yeah. My wife has one, yeah. Anyways. What are we doing now? Oh, yeah. Jared's most of our sports today I think. Yeah. Are we not breaking?

Oh yeah, I like that. Before him or no? Yeah, we're gonna break. Okay. Not right this second though. For the bullies. Why don't you get off my ass. Okay.

The only thing I have on the bracket is that they say this is the first time. They don't just say it. It actually is the first time, they don't just say it, it actually is the first time ever that the Sweet 16 is all major conference teams. It's dead, buddy. So is this a product of NIO? Yeah. Yes it is, because if you think about it in football,

in football, it's gonna be the major programs but like for example, had Arizona State made a run in football in the playoff when they got in and they almost beat Texas, that would have been viewed as like a Cinderella, right? Because you're comparing Arizona State to Texas, and Alabama, and Clemson, and Ohio State. But in basketball, we need these,

because Arizona State, I guess, is where I'm staying in football, they're still gonna have NIL money. SMU has a crazy amount of NIL money. Like, those are your Cinderella teams in football. In basketball, the schools we're used to are, you've never even heard of them usually. You know what I mean?

Xavier. Yeah, so now I feel like the gap between Grand Valley State, their chances of making a run now, it could still happen, but it's gonna happen a lot less. The resource discrepancy is just crazy huge. But the whole thing about basketball has always been, you can just get one player. You don't need a strong offensive line and this and that.

If you can get one superstar, that can turn your whole program around. In college basketball, though, it does happen. But you may know this. Kansas State signed some dude in basketball this year who was a big deal. From Illinois? They paid him a ton of money.

And I think he was just kind of OK. And he gave an interview about a week ago. He's just bawling, crying. And once they're eliminated, he's like, I can't. I basically couldn't handle this. The whole program's like, here. They they turned it you grab a mic if you need for sure they turned down the NIT the NIT invite I guess what some teams do but like this this dude was just like I gave you every like he just didn't

work out you know your 19 year old kid so the pressure on him to be the LeBron of yeah Kansas State? Whereas like in football they'll get three of those guys at one position at the big schools. Now maybe there's going to be some schools that they whiff on a quarterback in football. That's going to be a problem. Some smaller schools. But like how did these small schools make their way though before? That's what I'm not totally getting. Well I think they still, go ahead.

They developed kids over four years. That's what you'd always see, right? Not even in Gonzaga really, but you'd always see the Cinderella stories, it'd be like six four year starters or regular players, yeah. And now I guess if you think about it, as those kids are developing, they're way more likely to get picked off by powerhouses now by the time they're juniors if they're not NBA players.

You know, you're just like, okay, I played two years at Weber State and now Alabama's going to offer me a million a year, but I can't, that's part of it also. I mean, the whole thing about the tournament being a place for Cinderella stories, it's all bullsh anyway. Like the, you know, a very low seed has never won the whole thing. It's usually one of the higher seeds, but they do get to the round of 16. Yeah, and that's that's where we are now. And every other year has had at least seven different conferences represented Damn in the round of 16 this year. There's four Don't like it. I

Don't like it at all It's boring. I mean Arkansas actually right now being the 10. They may be the lowest seed left They were a 10 seed. Yeah, and You know, they could beat Tech. So that's one thing. And I guess I want Tech to win. But I don't know. The Calipari or Patino thing would

have been interesting because they're both the only coaches to ever take three to the final four different. So one of them. So if there's some level of history there, I guess. Got a text from one of our old friends at the station yesterday. I have like a personality flaw where I think it's cool to just know about something a year before literally everyone else in the world will. And I'm like, boy, this makes me cool.

So the fact that I could tell someone about Cooper Flagg when he was like a junior in high school, what does that do for me? Nothing. But I still do it. You told me about Steph Curry before he was a household name. Again, that was still Bob. So I got a text this weekend from somebody that was like, dude I finally actually watched a whole Cooper Flag game. Like we are back. We are. Because his dad looks like, this person said, although his dad looks like he was at January 6th. Yeah? We got cornerbacks.

We got 6'7 slashing wings that are going to be the number one overall pick. I'm sorry America, but the white man is back. We're playing sports now. Just some Mavs quick hits for me at least. I got some Mavs for tomorrow for sure. Did you see that the Lucas story has made it to Vanity Fair? Yeah. Like this is a transcendent story now. This is the thing about too when you send him to the Lakers. Because had they sent him to Charlotte, right, or even or whatever, I just don't think it does this.

No, it's New York and LA. But now everybody's going to know about this Luca story, people who have never heard of Luca before. The test will be if my mom ever hears of him. I'll keep you informed on that. But I think as of now, she might still have no realization of Luca. She lives with a bunch of other old people in Ohio, so she's very into LeBron, very knowledgeable about LeBron and his situation, and can probably tell you about Deshaun Watson

a little bit, but she doesn't really... No, she's like at the very outer edges though. Like you... Oh no, no, that's what I'm saying. If it ever reaches her, you'll know... That's the end of the line, yeah. That he has become Kobe or Shaq-like. Kobe. He's not quite there yet.

My Luca annoyance over the weekend. So, Cuban had a big weekend on Facebook and I want to cover that tomorrow, possibly even with the guy who he was talking to and yelling at on Facebook. The Tom Segura thing seemed like that really blew up over the weekend. We talked about it last week, it was the same stuff,

but for whatever reason, it turned into a much bigger deal. And then finally, one thing that's really annoying is people taking photos from Christmas Day or the start of the season of Luka and then photos from last week or hell, what they played Saturday night and they're like, look how much better shape he's in. I'm like, he does this. He does this every year. He plays himself into shape.

He's always, yeah. You know what? Dude, he was off for six weeks. He always does that. I'm like, randomly you'll look up and you're like, oh my god, he's skinny. It happens every season. Once, you know, people used to call that smart.

Because you're like, the point is, you want to be good in the playoffs. Yeah. You want to ramp up to the playoffs. A lot of players would schedule their, you know, off-season surgeries for early in the season. Yeah, what do you think LeBron's doing? You think LeBron's been hurt?

He's having three times in the last three months, LeBron's like, my finger hurts, and he just misses five games. Yeah. Not one of the greats. And then I was just thinking about, I think I heard somebody talking about the Moneyball situation.

Ethan Strauss and Jay Kaspian King. Okay, that's where I, that is where I heard you. I listen to a lot of podcasts this weekend. Okay, driving, all that driving? Driving, beach walking. So, they were talking about, you know, how we, the nerds, got carried away with the statistical revolution.

And I'm guilty of it as well. Because I watched Moneyball, I read Moneyball first, and it changed my life. I'm like, this is awesome. This is incredible. I did grow up thinking that you look at the batting average and that's the most important thing. But a very simple. Look, and you could say, oh, wow. Yes, on base percentage,

probably even more telling because working your way to a walk. The era I grew up in was. People would literally say Wade Boggs was a pussy for drawing a walk. Yeah, I remember. I remember. I mean, I grew drawing a walk. Yeah, I remember. I mean I grew up thinking that. Yeah. For sure. I was like, well it's probably the only way I'm getting on. Get a hit. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.

In Little League for sure if you were just trying to draw a walk. Blake, you ever heard, you know, walk off the island? Well that's a, that's a hudge, right? Yeah. That's why he just swings at everything. That was always my favorite baseball quote. Like look, I'm not leaving, Well, that's a hudge, right? Yeah. That's why he just swings at everything. That was always my favorite baseball quote.

Like, look, I'm not leaving San Juan by being Scott Hattaberg. Right. So he's going to reach for this so he can get another hit. So the thought there is Michael Lewis had us all believing that Scott Hattaberg was the reason that the A's were winning consistently despite the low payroll and not Hudson, Molder, Zito, Miguel Tahada, keep naming the great position players that ended up leaving in free agency because they got too expensive, whatever. But that just makes me think exactly of Patrick Dumont and Nico, to where Nico is now Michael Lewis.

Patrick Dumont is the general public, believing that, yeah, you know what? These trades that you made, when you made that PJ Washington trader, who else came in that exact same time? Gafford. Daniel Gafford. We weren't that good before, and we added these guys. And look at how good we got, where you can kind of lose

sight of Hudson, Molder, Zito. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got these other people that other. I bet they could have won some games even if they didn't. That's a really good point. Land Scott Hattaberg. You know how I know? Because they made the Western Conference Finals in 2022.

Right. Like, you kind of get a little lost of, well, this guy is kind of interchangeable. What if I interchange him with Anthony Davis? Yep. Anthony Davis is better at defense. He also scores 25 points a game, so he's got both ends of the floor covered. But now we got these other guys, and they're the ones that were really important anyway yeah no not realizing the reason those guys were so good is because it's a hundred percent

true and then the thing that frustrates me is to kind of tie it all together there are numbers to prove that you know I have access to it you can still look and see how much better everybody's field goal percentage gets when they play with Luca. And you can compare it to the rest of the league. And you can see that he is finishing first in this almost every year. Again, go look at Jackson Hayes right now.

Hell, even LeBron when they play together. LeBron's life is as easy as it's ever been. And kill me, I think. And my final thing is I'll just say, maybe we'll just save this for tomorrow too. We can have an NFL segment at some point, but Jamis is in the division, bro. Don't love it.

I do love it. He's going to end up starting. I know. I just want to see Jamis. I want more Jamis. I don't want to have to knock him out twice on the way to 15 and two, but I will. You get to intercept him a few times.

Yeah, won't that be fun? Somebody had the funniest football tweet to me. Blake saw it and was just like, we've got to draft Travis Hunter now to get him to tackle the receivers after Jamis throws picks. Yeah, he's a two-way guy. His projected stats, like Malik neighbors catches 30 touchdowns, he throws for 6,000

yards and he throws for 40 interceptions. Yeah. It's a true outcome. Oh, him and Malik neighbors, that'll be fun. Yeah. All right, let's talk to Jared Sandler in a minute. You're listening to The Dumb Zone. Yeah bro. We want to do a weird plug for our trip to San Antonio next week. Is it next week? Yeah. We want you to join us in San Antonio We just don't really know exactly where no puppet just yet. Let me lay this out

So it's for Lone Star beer with sending us down there Wednesday night. We will be in Austin and we will designate somewhere at least the Jake sorroy probably Clayton portion, we will designate somewhere to meet up Wednesday night in Austin. We will do a show Thursday in Austin from the Rivian Space, which I believe is open to the public. And then Friday we will be, we'll do the same thing Thursday night, oh no, Thursday night we drive to San Antonio and then San Antonio we'll do a show, we'll let you know where,

and we're going to stay in San Antonio Friday night and party That's right. Very excited. Yeah, so Lone Star Beer has us going down there for the final four So can't wait How's your bracket to see those teams that are gonna be in the final four interestingly enough? When I checked yesterday, you had fallen significantly in the scenario picks. Blake doing quite well. I was doing good in round one. Blake is 60th out of 359.

That's good. Well, I mean, it's upper 5th. Something percent. Jake at 183 and Dan at two 105 Ahead of you. Yeah There you go. I don't know. That's all you matter about or you care about I certainly am

We're gonna bring on Jared Sandler what I certainly am. We're gonna bring on Jared Sandler. What? I thought this part should have been we went to Jared So apparently I wasn't consulted on this but apparently Jared Sandler will join us every week Wow Throughout the baseball season Jared Sandler Wow you may know him from Rangers radio You may know him from Rangers TV a little bit. What are we doing this year? Oh, by the way, this is going to be brought to us this week,

although this is for sale. If you would like to purchase Jared's time every week, we can be bought. This week, Lucy. Lucy came in. You know what Lucy is, Jared? I do. Lucy came in extremely handy on the long family road trip.

Yes. Lucy is a nicotine pouch, 100% pure nicotine, tobacco-free. It's not owned by big tobacco.

You'll, you'll figure they're saving me a lot of time by not having to type in the M for the dot-com customer service Yeah, that is finest. All right. Sorry Jared. Do your thing go ahead and say your things Well, no, I you also I think if I'm not mistaken you get 20% off your first order as long as you that promo code So yep. Yep. Yeah, code. So go right now. Go right now. I think he was getting at, what are you

doing on television this year? Yeah, it's a great question. I really don't know. So RSN, which we just learned today as a presenting sponsor, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it. I don't want to get anyone in trouble. So we are doing the pre and post game on TV and radio. So it's a simulcast.

So what you see on TV is what you will hear on radio. That's how a simulcast works. I know you guys know this. And so, yeah, it should be fun. I'll tell you, being honest before Dan poos this or gives me crap for saying something that's like, I don't know. It's something like I'm really excited about but I think we've got the ability, I think we've got the ability to like, I get it. As a sports fan, I don't know, the Mavs started

seven, you're probably turning it on at seven. You know, I don't know that pre and post game television has been appointment television for fans. We would like to maybe change that by using that time to have fun, do some different stuff, not have the same exact show every single day. You're not going to have anyone give you the three keys to the game and tell you that the Rangers need to score more runs than the other team and give up fewer runs and not commit any errors or mistakes on the bases, right? You know, hopefully we have some fun we inform and I'm excited to get to do that on TV although I have to put on makeup on my forehead and my nose because I'm my nose is big my forehead is big and I

Have no clue what I'm doing Have they made you match colors yet or do you just wear rangers gear? Because I remember like when Damaris started doing TV and Falwell used to tell me about this. You go to like a guy, maybe a lady more likely and they tell you like these are your colors. Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't because we're not and I don't know if that's for suits or I think it's for suits.

Are you talking about makeup? Are you talking about clothes? I think it's all of it. It's all of it. Tie, makeup and they say like, hey, you're a these colors person and then they just like outfit you. So we we kind of want this to be a little wild ass. Like we really we've had conversations where if we end up on all full announcing because we try something and it just totally flops, like that doesn't bother us. We're not going to do like it's not going to do it. Like we really, I mean we've had conversations where if we end up on all full announcing

because we try something and it just totally flops, like that doesn't bother us. We're not going to do like, it's not going to be just like 30 minutes of shtick and no substance but we, a part of that is no suits. We don't care if we are wearing the same thing, like you know if we end up wearing the same thing one day, great. If not, no big deal. All we have to wear, we're just wearing Rangers gear. So I don't know. I'm wearing this powder blue thing today. Maybe it makes, because I'm white as ass, maybe it just makes me even more white. Maybe that lady or guy would tell me this is a bad color, but it's what I'm wearing because

that's what I decided when I woke up this morning and no one's telling me what to wear which I love. We're not TV guys but I like the angle you're after here you know these guys get crazy have you considered there was a show in the early 2000s they would just have chicks jump on trampolines and bikinis perhaps if you just had the man show yeah like in behind you in the infield. Hold on, I saw, I got something for you. So I used to watch this. It was like a Russian news lady. Oh yeah, yeah.

As she's reading the news, each story, she's just kind of undressing a little bit as she's going and then takes off. And would you think about doing something like that? You know what? Maybe. I don't think anyone would want to see that. But I would do that. I know what? Maybe. I don't think anyone would want to see that but I would do that. I'll tell you guys and this is open to anyone. If you have an idea for like a legitimate pre-game

segment, I'm all ears. I had someone the other day tell me that we should do like a man on the street thing when we're on the road just for five minutes and go to the other team's fans. So if we're in Chicago taking on the White Sox, go to White Sox fans and ask them like, hey, have you heard of Jake Kemp? Like, are you nervous that Jake Kemp's gonna like have a big series of the Rangers and like get, people just kind of have some fun with them?

Yeah. Oh, of course. Especially if you get a guy with a girl, what's that? Gabby urinator. that was our whole premise. Do you know the Gabby urinator? Oh, but I'm happy to talk about Gabby. That was a Tom Tom Gribble. We would go to an opposing team's arena, might do it at a hockey game. We did it in Green Bay for the Packers game.

And we would pretend, OK, so it's between periods. And we would throw it down. He would pretend he was on the radio network. Time for a little hit. He had headphones. He had a microphone. And he would walk into the bathroom. There's a big line of guys at the urinal.

And he would just walk across the urinals and interview them about, what do you think about the first period? Do you think Madonna looked good? And the guy would be like, hey, get the hell out of here. And it would just cause all kinds of chaos. People were drunk. It was great.

And he's like, back to you, Ralph. Yeah. I remember that. Things aren't going well here. That takes a lot of balls. It does. Gribble not lacking in that department. And I'm still waiting, Jake, on the list.

I've requested this ever since you gave me shit for it. I think weekly. Maybe at the conclusion of every week's show, we'll do a little dumb zone password with Jared. Oh! Let's talk a little actual baseball though. Something he can work in. Well, I want to know though, when you saw who's on this pregame and everything with you. Yeah. So I for 20 home games, Elvis will be on and then

we will have. Yeah. We'll have various former Rangers or Rangers, folks, depending on maybe where we are on the road. John Woodland, if you know it, don't think so. Nope. I don't know where he's at these days, but I don't think he's going to be on it. Yeah, I was just rolling through. Yeah, no, no, that's a good suggestion.

But like, you know, if you know of a former Ranger who might live in Southern California, who might have his jersey retired, it's possible he might be on. I can't confirm or deny anything at this time. And then Dave Raymond, Basick, David Murphy, Eric, Nadel, Matt Hicks, we're all just kind of doing it together. I mean, I'm hosting it, but like we're all sort of collaborating, which is cool because I think especially for the TV folks getting a chance

to see Eric on TV, I think we'll probably be really appealing to them. And, and then for the radio folks getting to hear more of Dave and Bassick and Murph will probably be appealing to them. So we're just kind of all, you know, one happy family doing it together and it should be, you know, should be fun, should be different, which is, which is cool. I think, I think baseball needs different. I think baseball needs fun. And I don't know if I'm the right guy for that, but I'm certainly going to try because I am leading the charge of folks who just think that we need to stop

worrying exclusively about what the 70-year-old baseball fan wants or thinks. It needs to be about the 70-year-old guy guy but also the 17 year old kid who like is like I don't understand why I should like this baseball sport and hopefully we can convince that kid to maybe give baseball a shot. I love it. Where's Josh Lewin at these days? Can you pop him out? He's doing UCLA football and basketball so I think he's pretty tied up with what's going on over there. Oh, he's not doing Mets anymore? Is that like seven years ago?

Yeah, he hasn't for a bit. He actually had a brief snick doing a Padres pre and post on the radio. I'm not sure what happened there. But yeah, I think he's a UCLA guy, big UCLA guy these days. So in all of my pre and listen, this is all because of Luca. Let's just call it like it is. Right now I should be looking at the Western Conference

standings and figuring out just how high we can climb and when Lively will be back and blah, blah, blah. But I'm not, so instead I'm reading about the Rangers a lot and it seems to me that the like prevailing season preview thing is they should be really good or good but that you are basically counting on the other side of a whole lot of regression so that you had like massive down years for Adolis or for Jonah Haim or for Simeon even. And that like, cause last year was almost the same team as the World Series year, wasn't it?

I mean it was roughly. Yeah, pretty much. And then they just fell off. So a lot of that's obviously injury, the starting rotation which was very volatile health wise as was, blew up. But it just seems to me like a lot of the season preview stuff is like, they should be pretty good because they shouldn't have been that bad last year. Is that fair? Yeah, I think that's fair. I think, you know, they don't play in the strongest division. They're not in the AL East or the NL East for that matter. And they don't have a Dodgers

team to contend within their division. So all those things help. Having Jacob deGrom back and healthy, you know, obviously makes a big difference. And I would say that yes, they are. Well, quick question. Why is it the other side? Like I hear people talk about this. It's it's it isn't regression. Like I think of regression is that guy performed way too well. Why don't we say progression? Why is that not like, you know, I mean, yeah, it's been on my mind recently. I actually don't know, but I do remember learning in one of the stats classes forced on me that any sort of return to the mean is termed regression.

Regression, interesting, okay. So I don't think that you necessarily need Marcus Simeon to get back to 2023 Marcus Simeon. I don't think you need Adoli. I mean, Adoli set a career year in 23. I'm kind of writing Adoli's off, by the way. Okay, why is that? Well, I guess I just feel like I look at his approach,

and it just seems wild to me, and I kind of look at him as like icing. Like to me, it comes down to Simeon and Seeger, and then what you get out of Langford, Carter, and Josh Young. Because Adolwes is just, like I could see his career really falling off. Well, because he was written off by the Cardinals

and he was such a surprise when he blew up here. That's a, just look at that, Dad, and you're already living on borrowed time. Yeah. Sure, and I'd even, if you wanna look at, it doesn't work this way across the board, but I think in general guys who have chase rates that are, depending on your perspective, below or above the league average, and what

I mean by that is, you know, if the league average is around 28%, if you're significantly above that, those are the types of guys who year to year, it's kind of, it can be dicey and they're the guys that typically as they get older they do not age well right. Plate discipline age as well over aggression doesn't because a lot of times that that's reliant upon you know your eyesight and your bat speed and as you get older your bat speed's going to decline. I would say you know the counter to that with Adoles is that he was playing through a pretty decent knee injury obviously not big enough to put him on the IL for a considerable amount of time. But you know,

if you just watched him in the field, like he was a really bad defensive player last year too, which is odd for a gold glove winner. I mean, he just lost, you know, his ability to move. So I'm hoping that health will help. I'm hoping that a kick in the ass after a really bad year will help. And I'm hoping for a guy who desperately wants, you know, or wanted an extension that, you know, this is kind of like his year, and it might not even be with the Rangers with one more year of control left. But like, if he wants to get any kind of a decent contract, he needs to have two really good years. And I don't know what sort of incentive that might provide but he is not young right even though he was he's young in terms of our familiarity

with him he was late to the game and he plays his ass off he's a muscular guy you know a heavy upper body in that regard not out of shape but just thick because of the muscles and those guys don't always age well and so I think you know while he is healthy right now I think it's fair to ask over 162 games for a guy who's had lower body injuries the last two years, if he can stay, you know, if he can stay healthy. And I think that, you know, that is a big question. Now, the counter to, you know, whether,

like for the people who think that Adoles is the guy they're relying on, I would say that, you know, the additions of Jock Peterson and Jake Berger were really shrewd moves that weren't like $5 million bargain type moves. Jock Peterson's making nearly 20 million for the next two years each year, but they fit very specific needs.

Not just like, hey, we needed a first baseman. Like it's Jock Peterson is a lefty who crushes righties and hits fastballs. Jake Berger hits the elevated fastball really well and hits for power. He's not a big on base guy, but this team didn't have power last year. And so I thought those were two really good moves that helped fill very specific needs in this lineup. I also was thrown off by regression. When you were saying regression, I thought you meant they regressed last year, and now they're going to get back to where.

I could be wrong about this. I just think in general that's the way it's described. Last year, and again, like he said, Simeon had a damn near career year in the World Series year. But even if you don't get quite back to that, you just get what you got like his first year here. Yeah, but what I'm going for then is just to say, okay, you say they weren't as good as 2023, but in 2023, were they not really that good? They probably overperformed a little bit. Is the thing, and especially in the playoffs. Nobody expected them to go on and win the World Series.

Then all of a sudden, they win the World Series. And we're like, oh, what kind of parade should we have? And oh, we'll just throw one together, and it's going to look really bad. It's unnecessary. But the point is, I guess that's the thing. They overperformed, and then we had maybe too high of a bar of expectations for last year.

The only thing I would say about that is that can be mitigated by internal improvement. Not just the improvement that he mentioned from the outside, but they specifically have three core guys that have been hurt a lot in Young's case and in Langford's case. And it's like, those are your next guys, so they have to do more than they did in the 23 year. And then you're hoping that you're mitigating some of that regression. I think you met Carter, right? Carter, yeah.

He's been with somebody who's been heard a lot. Yeah, yeah. 100 and 90, yeah. And in Langford, gosh, I hope he can stay healthy. I really believe Cory Segers, this team's best player, Wyatt Langford might take that baton very soon. Just, he is, he's different. Josh Young is very important to this team.

He can be a really good player. He's not, he does not have the ability that Wyatt Langford does. Evan Carter was a Ballyhoo prospect, came up for two months in 23. He took baseball, you know, by storm and, you know, helped them win the World Series, maybe in ways that Dan was kind of talking about, maybe that, you know, not as good as, you know, it seemed in those two months. Wyatt Langford, I think, has a chance to be an MVP

candidate for several years. And you've heard maybe the trout comparisons because he has a ton of power and he runs like the wind and the body type. And I'm always that easy making comparisons to a guy who's arguably the greatest player of his generation. But when you talk to the thing that gets me, it's not like what Rangers people say about him

because obviously Rangers people are gonna love him. It's when I talk to players around the league, like opposing players or evaluators, coaches, front offices, and like the stuff they say about him. Uh, that, that is what like gets me. And that, that's what's really impressive. I think, uh, I don't know if it's going to be this year or next year. I think he'll take a step forward this year, but at some point in the next couple of years, he is going to be a legitimate kind of face of the franchise, MVP candidate type player. He is,

as long as he stays healthy, he is that good. And I don't like to speak in hyperbole in baseball, but you can hold me to this. Blake, put this down on, you know, two, two years from now, quarterly business review, whatever. Like I really believe this guy, as long as he stays healthy, will be that good. Where are we with the rotation? I know Iovaldi goes Thursday, but how healthy are we, sans John Gray? Yeah, no Gray, no Bradford until June. Some teams, when they lose two of their five projected starters they're going to have like you know rando triple a guy and rando triple a guy fill those spots they don't have that. I think their biggest concern is that the way they might

fill the rotation they're going to need some help from an inning standpoint because with Jacob deGrom they're going to be conservative. He might start game four at home on Sunday or the first game in Cincinnati. You've got Tyler Malley, who's again coming off of, you know, nearly two years away from pitching because of injury. You're going to be conservative. They signed Patrick Corbin. He actually is just through right now in front of me in an inner squad game before our game

tonight. But I don't know and we'll find out in a little bit whether he's ready for the first turn through. Patrick Corbin statistically from an ERA standpoint has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball. There's a lot of folks who believe that his second half last year in which he kind of turned a corner might portend well.

But at the end of the day the Rangers signed him for two reasons. One, they need somebody who can throw from the left side for multiple innings because they just don't have that. And two, they need somebody who can throw from the left side for multiple innings because they just don't have that. And two, they need somebody who can give them innings. And he has been an innings eater for the last several years. And then, I think, I mean, this is kind of Jack Leiter's time, guys. He, you know, he was the AAA pitcher of the year last year, whereas Kamar Rocker, I think, you know, maybe there's more excitement. He's only made a few minor league starts at upper levels. And I don't know if he'll make the team or not. My guess is that, you know, he might start in triple A with

the signing of Patrick Corbin if Corbin's ready to start the season. If not, it could be Kamar, it could be Adrian Hauser. But Jack Leiter, could he go down to triple A? Sure. But again, he was the triple A pitcher of the year. It's time that he starts getting major league hitters out. And while from a health standpoint, there's no reason why he couldn't give you six innings a night. It's just a matter of whether he's going to be able to get out officially enough to do that and effectively enough. But this is, I think, going to be a big year for Jack Leiter, not to establish himself as like a super stud by any means, but just show that he can be a reliable major league pitcher and then maybe build off of that in you know in 2026 maybe takes another step forward.

So Jared, I know that Jake Berger and more importantly, Jock Peterson were brought in for obviously talent, but also the locker room culture. And I think CY or Bochi were just making some comments and it kinda seemed like Nathaniel Lowe had a weird exit from the team. Was there anything to that? Yeah, I mean I think that Nathaniel Lowe is the first baseman on a team that won a World Series

and I think that there's a lot of appreciation for that. I think that both sides are maybe ready for a change. And I think that from a clubhouse standpoint, I think that from a baseball standpoint, Nathaniel Low offered two things to this lineup that should not be discounted. One, he got on base at a really high rate. At the end of the day, if you're getting on base,

you're not getting out. I'm talking about like on base percentage, right? And if you're not getting out, you're putting your team in a good position to score runs. He also in a lineup full of really aggressive hitters, he took pitches, you know, he worked the count. And I think like stuff like that, you wanna be sort of in the middle, right?

You don't wanna be the most patient team because maybe other teams can play on that. You don't wanna be the most aggressive team because you can definitely be sort of in the middle right you don't want to be the most patient team because maybe other teams can play on that you don't want to be the most aggressive team because you can definitely take advantage of that you need to have a balance and Nathaniel Lowe offered that he did not offer a lot of power his power numbers over the last two years have declined his teams have started to throw more and more fastballs and I think the Rangers felt like you know that's not something that lends well as he gets older and also with the amount of money that he was getting paid, which he's earned that,

right? But through arbitration, you know, he's making a significant amount of money for what they needed. It didn't make sense. I, I think that there's probably a little bit of pride on Nathaniel's part. And I think that the Rangers, I don't know that they viewed him as a leader, as a connector in that regard. And I think that, you know, while Jake Berger is not going to make the raw, raw speech,

he's a guy who is very additive to the clubhouse. And then Jack Peterson is also not a guy who's going to lead in the same way we like we refer to Marcus Simeon as a leader. But like, I'll tell you what, Jack Peterson will talk to anyone at any point in the clubhouse. He talks to young players, he talks to veterans, he talks to Latin players, he talks to American players, he talks to pitchers, he talks to hitters. And I'm not just saying like hello, like I'm talking about he'll go sit down get to know those guys. And I know that sounds very elementary and basic, but that just doesn't happen with a lot of guys. A lot of guys, it clicks kind of forming clubhouses, not like rival cliques that compete against one another,

but the relievers usually talk to the relievers and the starters hang with the starters and the position players, you know, because the way that they prepare for games is so segmented, right? I think having guys like Jock who can connect an entire clubhouse that really can go a long way to whatever degree you believe in those sort of intangible things and maybe Dan's rolling his eyes right now, I don't know. But like that, I think over 162 games can go a long way. Dan, I know you're not a momentum guy. Do you believe in like the clubhouse culture, locker room culture stuff? I do, especially because I think I would really tout Gabe Kapler as a good room guy that really helped. I think baseball, that's pretty important too, because that's your whole life you spend it in there. Yeah. Yeah, no does all. And I think that's, I also think that's why the motivational part of a manager, right? Not as important in football, people think that, but somebody's going to get you fired up in football. I just think having a manager who can kind of keep everybody interested for six months is, that's a really hard job.

to keep everybody interested for six months. That's a really hard job. That's not the same as calling it offense. Yeah. But I think it's important. There's something to it. I actually think it's more important to have talent. I'd rather have a. Yeah, but let's say there's two teams with talent.

Right, yes. You'd prefer the. Yes. I'll take my chances on the pet rock in the pocket. Right. I mean, Nathaniel Lowe, for all you're saying, Nathaniel Lowe, if he didn't have... They did win the World Series. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Is it Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, award winner? I'll tell you this, Dan, to your point. In 2016, the Rangers were playing the Blue Jays in the playoffs again, right after they lost the... 2015 was the Bautista home run year off you know, off of Sam Dyson. And then they played them again in 2016. And even though the Rangers had the best record in the

American League that year, it just didn't feel like they were the best team. And everyone all everyone said the Blue Jays hate each other. No one likes Jose Bautista, blah, blah, blah, you know, these no one in that clubhouse gets along and they want to swap the Rangers in the first round of the playoffs, right. And they like they looked and they want to swap the Rangers in the first round of the playoffs, right? And they like, they looked like they deserve to sweep the Rangers in the first round. So yeah, at the end of the day, talent, talent trumps, you know, the intangible stuff. But I do, I agree that over 162 games in the baseball cadence, that stuff can tear teams apart. And I do think that, um, I don't know the Rangers at a clubhouse problem last year, but I do think that they, they maybe lacked a guy to really rally everyone the

way that maybe they had in 2023. I want to, I want to get this in before the regular season starts, but what's your impression of the ABS? Love it. I wish that they had it in the regular season this year. It's very quick. That's the yeah. So Dan and spring training, they they they had a challenge system that was they're just testing it out. They've used it in the minor leagues. The way they utilize it in spring training was each team got two misses. So you could challenge 17 times if you know you get your first 15 right. That's the way it should be. Most teams I would say, yeah.

And I'd say most teams would maybe end up with four or five challenges based on just the success rates we saw. The only people who can challenge are the pitcher, the catcher, and the hitter. And a lot of teams tell the pitcher that you can't challenge because their view finishing from their delivery isn't always the best and also they're the most emotional of the three. You have to challenge right away. Like you can't like back off for a second and think it's got to be an immediate they have you tap the helmet. It goes to the video board. You see like the Hawkeye stuff for tennis where it shows the digital view of the shot and where it lands relative to the line, similar with pitching.

It has the pitch coming in from the pitcher's release. And then it kind of, it builds up this anticipation. I think it's cool for the crowd. You find out ball or strike. Yeah, we're seeing it right here, I think. Yeah, I wanted to play this because this is Dan's favorite player, Jazz Chisholm, who immediately, he gets rung up

for a strike three on a full count, and he says, uh-uh, no way, taps his head, does the ABS, and without even waiting, he's like, no, this is a walk, I'm just gonna go ahead and go first. That's awesome. So it's great, so here are a few things that I really like. One, you get some personality from the players, like Jazz.

Two, maybe you get some personality from the UMPs. I would not, like, I don't know if an UMP's gonna do like a crotch chop like to a hitter when like it turns out their calls right, but like I wouldn't be opposed. But what I like is that there's a strategic element. You know, I would imagine if you really want to dive into the numbers, it doesn't ever make sense for a guy like Austin Hedges to challenge because what is, what is the return really going to be? And there might be teams that tell certain players, you can't challenge.

Yeah. I've heard of that. Yeah. And then there's also like, Hey, we're not going to challenge in the first four innings or we're going to reserve challenges for, uh, you know, three ball or two strike. You know, I don't know. There's all sorts of strategy that goes into it. And it's also the players making the decisions as opposed to the coaches or the manager, which I like.

I think that fans like that too. I think fans like the fact that they can talk about the decision that Evan Carter made, not the guy who's uniform they don't buy. And it gives something to talk about again, from a strategy standpoint, it leads to some interesting conversation. So I like it. I wish they could roll it out this year, but I'm hoping that in 2026,

we have it in the regular season. And the average time of challenge is 17 seconds. So this is not your normal challenge where it goes to New York, it takes forever. This is a really quick thing. Yeah, super slick in that regard. Baseball, I think, has really struggled in a lot of areas in terms of being progressive and adapting to the times. And maybe they're a little bit slow in implementing

these things, but it's because they spend a few years testing them out in the minor leagues and I give them credit for that. But this, the way that they have developed this, this system, first of all, it seems pretty clear. They're not going to do all technology for balls and stripes. They're going to have a challenge system and that's what the players want, that's what the coaches want, that's what the umpires want, and that's apparently what the fans want. The fans don't want total technology based on a lot of the work that they've done and I give them credit for taking the time to try and perfect this so that when they roll it out it's it's going to be ready to go. Well shout out to the family of Austin Hedges for being the random player that you filled in for spare.

Your guardian's prep right now. He's known to be one of the worst offensive players in baseball, and he is aware of that. That's OK. He's getting paid handsomely for his work behind the plate. It 100% is going to lead to some funny moments in postgame interviews or whatever, where one player is like I have no idea What Austin hedges was doing? Thinking he could use one of our challenges, you know, that's gonna happen. We're guys are like what's wrong with you speaking of him though

Wasn't he really good at framing? Oh Isn't hurt and Austin hedges in that regard like Well, so that's why I think a lot of catchers definitely don't want all technology. I mean, if you think about it, Dan, you're going to throw as a catcher, you're going to receive 140, 150 pitches a game, you know, give or take. And so only a few of them will be challenged. So it's still it still maintains your value. Now in those specific pitches, it obviously doesn't. You know, if a pitch gets challenged,

it doesn't matter what you do as a catcher. But for 98% of the pitches you receive, your value still can apply, obviously, in the way you receive the pitch. And I think that's a big part of it for players in general is like not even for a center fielder from like an MLBPA standpoint, not taking away the value of a, you know,

a group of union members who like Austin hedges, he makes really good money for someone who hits like one 70 because of his ability behind the plate. Yeah. But I mean, the whole point of the challenge system or the replay is to get rid of the egregious mistakes. And so it should do that. It's in the biggest moments too. I would have liked to see this system with, who's our old favorite umpire? Angel Hernandez.

With Angel Hernandez still in the game, that would have been fun to see. He's had 76 challenges against him or whatever. It'll be fun to keep track of. Even people talking to Wyatt Langford in this spring training always likes to bring up that at bat with Angel back there. Yeah, yeah, that would be something else. And I mean, I think it will,

not that the umpires are trying to suck, and what we learned during spring, by the way, is that they actually are really good. A lot of the challenges from hitters, I think, anecdotally, it seemed like only a third of the challenges from hitters, I think anecdotally it seemed like only a third of the challenges from hitters ended up being in their favor, but they don't want to get shown up, the umpires, so maybe it encourages them to be even more on top of their game. I don't know, but I just think all the way around it checks all the boxes and I like the way it's been developed.

Like I said, I wish it could be rolled out for this year All right. Well, we'll talk to you next Monday. You'll be in Cincinnati. It says here, right? Yeah, can't wait Yeah, okay. Love it. One of my least favorite road cities in baseball, but that's okay. And then you could tell us What your per diem is next Monday? Alright, man, let you know later. Jared. Did you guys that's the great Jared Sandler? Donate to the his his charity the Sandlot, which he says is not named after him I'm not buying that Frankl and Frankl will bring us today's news. They are personal injury attorneys

So we actually kind of I mean mean, the thing you're supposed to say right now is we hope you don't have to call Frankles. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to be totally honest. I wouldn't mind if it was one of these guys here at the studio right now leaving. Yeah, and then they called Frankles, because I just think that's good for the Frankles.

It's going to be great for you. Yeah, yeah. You're injured. It can get worse. You could have to deal with the insurance company. You could have to deal with some fly-by-night legal operation. It can get worse Not with the Frankles you're injured call 214-817-333-3333 Heck, maybe you're not injured. Maybe you're just a little like should I get this checked out? They can help you set all that up talk to them and only them What if you're just lonely you just want to make get this checked out? They can help you set all that up. Talk to them and only them. What if you're just lonely and just

want to make a call to somebody? Hey, Gene Burkett. I just want to see if I can really get a partner on the line here. They're probably not going to love it, but they're pretty cool. If you just want to call 214-817-333-3333. 214 or 817, yeah.

And then just when one of the partners answers go They really love that so call the Frankles or do the do the Little Caesars pizza guy Blake can I add something to the show notes? Okay. It's a GoFundMe. It is a GoFundMe for a local luminary, Chris Penn, who is not the deceased brother of Sean Penn, but Chris Penn, the co-owner of the East Dallas record store Good Records. Oh yeah, I saw this this weekend.

Yeah, he's the co-manager of Tripping Daisy, I believe Tim owns part of Good Records, it's a thing. It's never been. Tim Delotter? Yeah. Tim posted late Thursday evening that he fell, Chris Penn did, at Good Records while hanging advertising decals on the front window. And he is currently paralyzed from the neck down. That's a bad bit.

Yeah, no. Real bad. Real bad. So they have it going for me up and flying? They do. He's got a wife, three kids. This is going to be tough. You're a small business owner.

It's not like you can just collect a check and I don't know what the medical prognosis is I like to tell myself that sometime in my lifetime nobody will be paralyzed they have access to good care that basically they'll be able to I don't know if it's to refire your nerves but that Elon Musk will make it to where you can't be paralyzed dude I see guys now who have had their arms blown off, who are sitting there with fake arms controlling them with their brain.

I believe this is possible. That's kind of a thing, like we were saying, we hope one of these guys in here gets injured today so that they can call the Frankles. That's where like the... He seems like that, he's like, that's funny, he's like. That's where the... He seems like that's funny. He's like, what's wrong with you? Sorry, go ahead.

Well, he knows I mean, his brother. But no, this is where the, whatever it is, paralysis association or whatever, was pretty stoked when Christopher Reeves got thrown off that horse. Yeah when Superman got paralyzed because oh After that he ended up they raised, you know millions of dollars for that for the research and yeah I mean they really made great advances because someone really famous Had that happened to them. This is why people have conspiracy theories.

Because you don't think, when that news came across the CEO of AIDS Corporation, they were like, Magic Johnson, he's like, what? This is a cash cow. Which is why they paid Magic to say he had AIDS. That won't get us band from YouTube right people say That's stuff all the time. Yeah, it's piercing. Okay Yeah, the case of Chris Penn he had had like a hip surgery the year before So and I think he like because of that he had like maybe a little bit of a weak ligament

In his hip from having just normal hip surgery and then that fall on top of this like was the perfect storm of not so good Pal Not good. So when you you have to get people will get a go fund me on this So is the the reason because of medical bills and things yeah, I mean I think it's that I think it's also just Not being able to work. And like this guy, you know, not everybody can pull this off, but this guy's like a pillar in the community. You know, people know he's making people's day better

every time you come in there. It's been there forever. It's a little mom and pop store. It's got a vibe. So, you know. Plus Reservoir Dogs and. Again, he was not related to the actor Sean Penn. Chris Penn, very good in Reservoir Dogs, though.

Very good. So good that when we made my fat friend wear that costume when we did Reservoir Dogs, he wasn't even mad about it. There are no other fat ones. They're all normal size. That's a great costume. We had a big guy. You were in all the groups? Oh, yes. You were all the guys? Yeah, yeah. That's a great costume. We had a big guy. You were in all the groups?

Oh yes. You were all the guys? Yeah, yeah. It was great, man. Cigarettes, glasses, blood. And we just had one guy. Without an ear? We did have somebody had that.

And then just walking with us was a big boy in a wind suit. Like a blue and purple wind suit. Just chest air. It was a lot of fun. But anyways, go fund me. That's not so fun. We'll be in there. Every time I do one of these,

I mention that I don't do them that often anymore. We could do a teacher, student, sex story every day. We don't, because they've lost a lot of their value, their juice. Yeah, but we can show pictures now. We can show pictures now, and that's why we're doing this one today, because this is a straight up Mount Rushmore situation.

Okay. We're talking about a lady in Illinois, she's 30, she's married, and she's been arrested recently, and they've obtained text messages, court documents. I'll read you this from the New York Post because it's exactly how I felt when I saw the text. Skin crawling text messages allegedly sent by a married Illinois high school.

Skin, that's how I felt too, it was gross. Yeah, I'll be the judge of that. Skin crawling. Why don't you throw that picture up there Clayton and let's take a look. Oh my god. Now this is IG. She's made up.

Her mugshot, I didn't throw it in there, but her mugshot's pretty solid too. Now this is the best version of her, IG and brunch. Maybe Italy. But that's a hot, folks. Yes. That's a real world hot. That is a real world hot. Who was 28 and 29 at the time.

There were multiple students, one of them 15 years old. Actually, this one is just a single student, 15 years old. And he was lucky right up until the point where he spent his Saturday doing what Dan did and updated his phone. And he went to the store and this required his mom to log into his iCloud account. Ah.

And it was just nothing but text messages from her to him and him to her. She's also married. She met her husband in college where they both played sports. If you want to throw that photo up, we got a little baseball fella here. Ah, poor guy. This is two, this is I think five years ago. Five or six years ago when they were in college. She's hot there too. So she's only five years out of college? The kids, how old? Fifteen.

Yeah, five to six years out of college. I mean, it started when they were 28, so yeah. But them kids are getting more advanced these days. It's not just the girls. Yeah. I see guys, I regularly see a 14-year-old, and I'm like, that kid could kick the shit out of me. Yeah. Like, I'll see him at the gym, and I'm like, no chance. No chance.

It's fun to think about, though, like, how young of a fit kid could I take? A pretty fit eighth grader. Like he's his team, his school's football star. Could I kick that kid's ass? Let's give him like normal height and weight for that age. Probably. So he's like five eight, I don't know. Yeah.

I was thinking about this this weekend because somebody asked me like the best boys basketball team in DFW in seventh grade right now. Could they win the women's tournament? Eighth grade. The women's college tournament? Ninth grade. Yes.

Tenth? So not an all-star team? The best team, but not an all-star team. In Texas, the best ninth grade boys team. Yeah. You don't think so? My daughter made it to the state tournament in Kansas. And no, I don't think it.

I think a seventh grade team would have a hard time beating a high school girls team. You think so? They're just still small. But I feel like by ninth grade you're going to have some 6'5", 6'6". Yeah, there's some ninth graders, Duncan. Lots of ninth graders, Duncan. This is what I hope Trump does.

Like, OK, we're not going to let you. You're really hard up on this trans thing. I don't really care about it. But if it means something to you, let's do it. Make them play. We need an annual American-only Olympics where we just get to the bottom of this shit. So, Ronda Rousey, let's have you fight a man.

And we're gonna figure out how, could it be Blake? Yeah, then- This would kill women's sports. I think you would. Because the reality would set in. Like we place them higher than their actual athletic ability is. The point is that they're the best within this.

Well that's the same thing with like college football. Like you're the best within that, I mean but. Yeah but some of those guys actually do transfer. Yeah, they can't do that anymore. To. No transitioning. No, but I mean they transfer to the NFL, you're saying. That's a different box than the NFL, right?

Yeah. Some of those guys actually could compete there. Where I don't think, I just think the best woman's basketball player would you know not be able to even play in the G League no but teams are a different story like if you have a team basketball team women's basketball team you know Baylor whatever South Carolina like a good one but like I think they're beating ninth grade boys but I think by 10th grade they may have some trouble.

I mean the battle of the sexes, Bobby Riggs, he was like 50 something. I know. Against Billie Jean King like when she was on top of the tennis world. And they played with different rules. So it wasn't, you know, and this is no slight to women. I mean, but the trans thing is, I was thinking a lot about the trans thing this weekend. I don't wanna go too far today. Well, his phone was updating, had nothing to think about.

I guess that's true. Yeah, no, but I mean. So he's defaulted to trans stuff. No, but obviously everybody's like, well, how does Trump win, and how does this happen, and is the culture shift? Trump at least just like, he does say like common man, common sense things sometimes. Now he does a lot of stuff that you don't like, but yeah, you shouldn't be, whatever, the Penn State swimmer

shouldn't have been, you know, able to do it. But that was like NCAA rules. That wasn't like Penn State. And I heard Penn State. I think I was thinking about it because I saw Penn State had been penalized. Or maybe the gist. Mike Peska was talking about it. And I was listening to that on a walk. Getting some good steps in this weekend.

Very good weekend for steps. Proud of you, bud. Enjoy this weather. Thank you, OTV guy. It's about to get hot. That humidity's coming in. Yeah, look, is there anything I should do to my house or anything? Treat something?

Or you need to have Community Mechanical out to check your condenser coils, make sure your AC is going to be running good. But the point should be, like, the Democrats or whoever on that side of things should have, in the beginning, say, you know, no, a trans trans woman you know you do you want all the same right yeah yeah but you should be able to do anything you should be able to do whatever you want be who you want to be the person you think you are but there is things I'm gonna be biological stuff that I'm gonna be the annoying guy man through puberty and then you decide to transition that's that's great.

You probably got to rule out competitive sports right here now. Because you had a man's body through puberty. OK, but. You can't say now that I've done 12 months of hormones, then that changed everything. It just didn't. No, I know. Because that swimmer was like, Leah Thomas, is it?

It was like the 40th best male swimmer, and then all of a sudden it's the best female. Well, that's the way it is in everything. High school boys are running faster than our Olympic women's champion sprinters. Yeah. Like lots of them. I don't think, yeah, I don't wanna debate it,

at least right now. I think the problem is there are cases where somebody has a really confused gender situation where they actually have both parts. They actually have. And I'm sorry, there just might not be a place for you in my professional sports league.

That's bad, but there's a lot of things that you probably can't do. Well, the market will take care of it professional-wise. Can we get back to this teacher student sex story? Oh, yes? Yeah, there is more so it's got to be really worth it for her because she's gonna lose her job lose her marriage You know it has to be worth it. I would imagine that's why it's so exciting Yeah, but so think it's it's worth it. It's exciting. It's great. She's probably loving it But so think it's it's worth it. It's exciting. It's great. She's probably loving it And even after all of that she still sends a text to him that says even though this morning was short It was perfect. Yeah, so she little critical on yeah, how long this guy could go

School, you know what I do. I'd be like I'm in ninth grade. You're a yeah, it's the gram 9 What do you have that job? Yeah, I even got it in I had a jog over here last all over my Air Force ones of the teachers Come on. You're so hot. Sorry. Come on. What do you think you're doing? This is like getting like a 75 year old husband and being like why doesn't it get hard? Like give him three minutes he can go again Good news bounce back the yo-yos there. She has since been played on paid leave Well, the craziest part is and this is like legit crazy So they arrested her in Chicago they found writings in her notes app

That further suggested a sexual relationship with an underage student. So she was like journaling about it. God, that's a bad idea. Yeah, for sure. Especially digitally. That's, write it on paper. They're not just gonna take everything from your house. You gotta say, I don't know.

So she says that that was just an outlet for her anxiety. Her lawyer says that. Any sexual material was only about her husband. Now I'm seeing here that it says something like, I love your ninth grade dick and jizz. So I don't know how, no I made that up. Here's the other thing is she, and who knows dude I guess this could have happened. She says that she's a target because she's hot.

And her lawyer's like she's a good person but she's constantly being harassed. It's tough being hot. I do remember like there being one semi-hot math teacher in my high school and we did, she knew we were. Oh yeah. You know. So she says that everyone's out to get her

and all the boys talk trash about her. And she claims that one day, quote, the boy had grabbed her phone unattended, had entered the passcode, sent the message to his phone, and then deleted the message for her phone and saved it to his phone as blackmail the document states that she says everybody comes after her because she's good looking and she's a good person who just cared too much about the boy let's hear uh I'm going to a show this Wednesday night at the bomb factory and that's what it's called again.

No it's not. Are they not? It's the factory. They're saying bomb factory now. They're trying to fix bombs. They're bringing it back. I think that's the point. What are you going to...are you really? Yeah, I'm going to that show of that pedophile.

Wednesday night. A Wednesday night show? Yeah. Is that weird? What's that band name? Brand new. Brand new. Like how he couldn't wait for the legal status of his fans to be.

Thank you. They're changing it back. It was an actual bomb factory. It was a munitions factory in World War II. So I guess they- Why did we change it? I don't know. It says they rebranded to avoid any potentially

violent connotations surrounding the word bomb. Oh God. See, that's why, yeah. It is wild that we can even throw that under the Trump thing though, right? Everyone's just like, let's just change stuff back to what it was. But that's kind of- Like how it just- Embody's a lot of it, right? Like that's a blanket statement would be, yeah that's why Trump won. Is cause we were were like, were we changing things because someone was making us or just because everybody just

felt this is the way society wants it? That's the way everyone was doing performative like. Nobody was making us. Red River shootout. But it was the societal part of whatever that was making us also say, you can't call this the master bedroom. Yeah.

And then our last story, I told you had a little bit of potentially good news on the THC front. So the news at the end of last week was that the Texas Senate and Dan Patrick and the Danettes passed Senate Bill 3, which would outlaw products with any amount of THC, any. Right now, current Texas law allows hemp-derived products that contain less than.3 of THC. So, that's that. Vote 24 to 7. The thing is it has to the House comes up with a bill. Now the House is still working on their bill. A Senator

from Austin in the House said or representative said I believe this bill goes too far it would put out of business the consumable hemp industry in Texas. Republicans said that they are philosophically aligned but they're time to work out any policy differences. He said we're all on the same page. This is the guy in the house. We're going to protect the people of Texas from THC.

So the house is kind of saying like hey we're going to come out with a bill. Our sit-in is legitimately asleep Don't lie to me I looked over and he was asleep in the middle of what is supposed to be an exciting portion of the show Who? It's a long drive from Kansas City. Oh Why didn't he said our Senate is asleep? No our sit-in is asleep. I looked over it as he's literally taking a dad nap. There's nothing wrong with just closing your eyes now and again.

I'm just resting. You're still awake. Just resting my eyes. Yeah, I do that a lot. So the House says they're going to come up with something like restricting T8. Like right now, I think it's 18. They'll change it to 21.

Barring within certain distances of schools, things like that. Like they do with bars. So I think we still have a chance here to keep our THC. Well, like I said, I did an order this weekend just for a good. Just in case, you know, you just want to cover all bases. It doesn't go bad. Is that true?

Does it degrade over time? I don't know. I'm sure it can, but I've eaten some antiques before. Oh yeah? It felt just fine. Okay, good. Yeah, there's your news. Boy, I waited until the full lead this time. Felt just fine, so okay good. Yeah, there's your news

Boy waited till the full lead this time he was all the way back He's contemplating life whether he can still get his gummies or not and then you hit him with that Hand over the head You know bear fight whiskey oh This is good.

Like yeah that's one thing I did like about Severance there was some Easter egg-y stuff actually Jameson sent me a couple of you know things on how does this relate to a character's name was the same character name that was in this episode of The Twilight Zone. In this episode of The Twilight Zone, there was a lot of parallels in that episode. It was very cool. That is cool. But then in the end, it was like, well, what?

What did it mean? At The Twilight Zone at the end, I got the answer. In this thing, they're like, well, yeah, you won't believe it in season three. I'm like, wait, now I got to go slog through another 10 episodes of cool looking stuff and actors I like. I like it all. But I just don't like the end. Like how I feel.

Jim Parsons is 52. Is The Big Bang Theory still on TV? No. Okay, well when it was, he was the highest paid actor on TV. Yeah. And you've never seen one second of that show. No, you know what's funny though, so I think it was TC brought this up to me the other day,

like his parents will still watch it, like reruns. If you go watch reruns of that show, even just network TV from like 10 years ago, every other line is sexual innuendo. I mean, it's called the Big Bang Theory. Oh, it's about banging? Like everything in there is just sex, sex, sex, like little jokes about it.

We'll say brought to you by Fair Lease because they were a great sponsor. Fair Lease. Fairlease.org. So yeah, we have Grant and Tracy here. They claim to be brothers. They look not that much alike. But Tracy did. They both look like men. Tracy seated the couch to you because I said who's the more important one and Tracy did say it's you Well, I I paid for it That'll do it. Yeah, he deferred. Okay, then you're more important in our eyes for sure. I don't even recognize him anymore

So what do we got? What's going on? Um, is Tracy getting closing remarks as well? Yeah Is Tracy getting closing remarks as well? Yeah. Tracy's out on that. So no, I've just been a long time listener. Live in Kansas City in Olathe, Kansas and went to high school here and been a ticket listener since day one and followed you guys to the dumb zone. Did you get recruited to go play football? Yes. Okay, what was that?

I mean, did you get offers from different places? Yeah. For some reason decided? I really wanted to play in the Big 12 and I wasn't good enough to go to Texas or Texas A&M. So Oklahoma wasn't very good in the 90s. Texas Tech only took one lineman that year. Oklahoma State wasn't very good.

So it really came down between, Florida State was the first school to offer me a visit. Their coach ended up getting sick and I kind of fell off their radar but I didn't want to go that far from home. What year is that? 96 was I graduated Berkner in 96. Okay I'm trying to think of when Dominic Robinson might have been going there. Around then. Could have hooked up with him. Yeah around then. And so really came down between Kansas State, KU, and TCU,

were the three schools I took visits to. And I could tell Kansas State was ascending. Really liked Coach Snyder, and really liked my offensive line coach there, Dana Demel. I've heard that name before. He recently died. He was 62 and was an offensive assistant with Illinois and passed away in his sleep in December. But he was at K-State one year and then

got the head job at Wyoming and then later went to Houston and then was at UTEP for several years as the head job at Wyoming and then later went to Houston and then was at UTEP for several years as the head coach there. That's really weird to get recruited by a guy and one of the reasons I'm going here is because I really like this guy. Yeah. And then he leaves? It really impacted my career because then I dislocated my kneecap my first two years and then I was Mark Mangino was my office line coach and he

favored the guys that he recruited. Yes very common happened my brother I mean that's what everybody who got bench says but I actually you know it happened. No it certainly does. The guy wanted his own quarterback. Yeah. He got one at the highest levels. Look at Nico. You want your own guy you know., I'd made it a good all comes back to that. Yeah. So I was a backup at K-State and had a pretty hard on myself about my career, but got my school paid for, got my MBA paid for, and I tell people I'm better at finance than I was at football. But those were good teams. That's before you got here.

Like those few years before and like the Big 12 was new. Like what is the Big 12? We'd come from Southwest Conference, Big 8 and like immediately Kansas State was really good. We should have won the national title in 98. They went 11 and 2 that year? Yeah and the two losses were we lost to Texas A&M and we were number one in the country. Wow. And we lost to A&M. Well we were number three in the BCS. UCLA played Miami. The same day we played Texas A&M. UCLA got beat. That was Cade Mcnally's team. Tray Mcdown. Yeah they got they got beat. We're up 18 points in the third quarter and if we win we play Tennessee for the national title in the Fiesta Bowl and we lost in double overtime to A&M. A&M was like tenth at

that time. That was the first big 12 shape-a-chip game, right? No, it was the third. Third, 96, 97, 98. Okay, yeah, because I remember watching that game like it was yesterday. Michael Bishop was our quarterback. He got second in the Heisman to Ricky Williams and we were really good.

Lost that game. Cotton Bowl had already cut a deal with Texas because everybody assumed that we were going to win and the holiday bowl cut a deal too. So we got moved all the way down to the Alamo bowl and we had to go play Purdue and their quarterback happened to be Drew Brees who was a soft. So who are the quarterbacks you faced in bowl games? Steve Sarkeesian at BYU, Diamond McNabb in the Fiesta Bowl, Syracuse, Drew Brees, Purdue in the Alamo Bowl, Tuias Sopo in the Holiday Bowl, Washington, and Casey Claussen with Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl.

Which Casey Claussen at the time might have been like a couple years off of being in the number one player in the country in high school. Yeah. Yeah. And I recall the, do you remember who A&M's, of course you do, A&M's running back was in that? Sir Parker.

Sir Parker and Dante Hall. Dante Hall, yeah. When Dante Hall was still a running back. I talked to Dante. I went to a Chiefs fantasy camp and I talked to Dante Hall about the game. Really? Yeah, and he was giving me shit

Yeah, he wouldn't that's guys. This is just like my Human joystick oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a run so Most of time but I got to play in two cotton bowls which was pretty special because I grew up going to the cotton bowl Fiesta Bowl holiday Bowl in Alma Bowl So and somehow you decided to just stay living in Kansas Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Holiday Bowl, and Alamo Bowl. And somehow you decided to just stay living in Kansas. Kansas City's a great place to raise a family. I like it. It's not nearly as fucking hot either.

Yeah. Yeah. There is that. Not a lot of good Mexican restaurants. No, that's, Chewy's just closed. They had three locations. That was the best Mexican food we could get, and they closed. I think people in Kansas City don't know what good Tex-Mex is

We used to have a me casino in the Plaza Country Club Plaza just got sold and I Ray Washburn Bought it who owns Highland Park Village in rumors are we're gonna get a me casino. You got a water burger now, though, right? Yes, Patrick. Yeah, how about the influence of my home that he's just like build a water burger now though, right? Yes. Patrick, how about the influence of Mahomes that he's just like build a water burger up here. Oh really, that's why? He bought in, he's like an investor. That's awesome. I want in on the Kansas City rumors of what's coming.

Hey, Mi Casino maybe coming to Plaza. That's big news. Yeah. Well, thanks for being here. What are we, do we have any business we wanna? I got a couple of gifts. Okay. When are you going back to Kansas? Uh, Wednesday.
