Got a couple. The first pains me because sadly I was involved. Dan fights with his wife, this is from February 10th. Whether or not to give Blake Tupperware or not to take food home in. She's gonna guard that stuff like it is gold. She will not give you the password to take the tiniest little,

like one of the 7,000 pieces of Tupperware which we've owned for 15 years. Not even like the Cool Whip thing. Yeah. And she'll save that stuff. She'll save that stuff. So I wanted to take food home after the Super Bowl party. Do you think she would have given you the same monetary value if she had three

dollars sitting there and you said, hey, I got a toll on my way home. Do you mind? That would have been an easy yes. Right. Yeah. Yeah. But not the. Well, the thing is, and my argument was he's going to be here tomorrow. I'll bring it back. He'll bring it back. I promise. And she's like, no, no, he could just put here tomorrow. He'll bring it back. He'll bring it back. I promise. And she's like, no, no, he could just put all the food so they had these, was that Eatsies?

No. They had a big tin. Was it? Well, I brought a cloth snack that she spilled. Yeah, it was Super Bowl. So Eatsies. They had a huge tin that they let, you know, wings in this one or sandwiches in this one or whatever.

So we had one of those and yes. Like the thing with the, you have to fold? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awful. That's awful. But so she was just letting him put all his food in there and I just thought that's illogical. He'll have to reorganize it once he gets home

to put in smaller Tupperware things because you can't fit that big giant thing in the fridge. So, you know, why don't we just do it now? We're here. And yeah, he was just standing there all silent. I just had to get out of there. I put my wings on the fruit, like two foods that shouldn't touch, just to get out.

So yeah, I had. At least the argument ended there, and they didn't keep talking about it. I don't know what it is. There's a certain type of woman that believes that when the apocalypse happens they're going to be able to subsist on Tupperwares and wine corks. And TJ Maxx bags. Those are great bags. The other fight was from February 27th. And you thought that her asking if a couple is sleeping together is too invasive.

This from you? That's not what it was. The assignment. Yeah. Yeah. She was asking about a couple, yes, a friend of hers who refers to themselves as a they them, and it's a guy. Okay.

But there is a question like, are they going to transition? And that's what she asked her friend. She said, well, are they gonna transition? Okay. And I thought that was invasive because you're basically asking about their genitalia, about their personal decision to do whatever. Like if they want to be called they them, just go ahead and call them that, whatever. Yeah, I just don't need to pry any further. I got a lot of shit going on. I'm not concerned with that.

She decided she was concerned with that. And then I said, if you just met someone who was just, they didn't say that about how they identified, would you ask, are you guys doing anal yet? Because what's the difference? It's just a different level of, I'm asking about their genitalia, and now I'm interested in this person's genitalia. Yeah, where'd it go?

These are all compelling points. However, there's no one I know that less takes the spirit of, well, it's not really my business, so I won't ask that question. of, well it's not really my business so I won't ask that question. Well I try to, I don't let her listen to the show. Like if they were around I would be depending on you to figure out what we're all hoping to learn. Well but I might be the kind of guy that would ask if they're doing anal yet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The thing that I'm confused by is the mid-relationship transition. Yeah. So I have questions about like, okay, so your mom, excuse me, your wife's friend, born female, hetero, all the way, right? They're dating a biological male, and that biological male identifies as they I

don't understand how there could be if that if that's a biological male that's considering transitioning to female isn't that like a very different thing than what your wife's friend has been into before or has she already dated other like yeah I don't know you see what I'm saying like that I see what you're saying but I think it's it's especially beautiful if the love survives the transition. I mean, we've all heard... You're turning on to something. Like, if you are able to be in love with someone regardless of what their scene is...

It's their heart. Right, in theory, you should just stay with them. Right. Because you married the person, the inside. Dude, that's so rough. But not all of us do. Some of us marry because, you know. Dude, imagine, so your wife, you met someone with a particular part that life.

You love your wife. You love your wife, folks. OK, so your wife starts to feel like she's got to transition. She wants to be a dude. And not only does she does get a wiener, whatever that looks like. How big? It's average.

It matters. And also, uh. What do you want? I think I want small. Oh yeah, it's like, you get to pick like when your wife has breast cancer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get to pick like a little.

It can't be bigger than mine. Petite dick. And here's the thing though. I mean if you are going to be going through, like, I would say go all the way. What does that mean? That's emasculating. You are going to be going through, like I would say go all the way. What does that mean? That's emasculating.

Like you gotta, like if you're transitioning into a situation where the intercourse between the two of you is going to be you on the receiving end, then you're always on the hedonistic treadmill where you're going to be wanting more and more and more. You might as well just go. By the time you've had the small one three times,

you're gonna be like, all right, I wish I had gotten the bigger one. You might as well just go. By the time you've had the small one three times, you're going to be like, all right, I wish I had gotten the bigger one. So just get the bigger one. I'd want to prove to myself that I could take it. Yeah, yeah. You're right. What if they start working out a lot? They start getting into power lifting?

That would be too far. My wife wants to transition. Hey, it's her life. If she starts drinking as much water as Jake drinks and talking about Jim as much as some people, I'm out, I'm so out. That would be really funny though. You just end up with a douche bro wife.

Like I took a vacation with a bodybuilding couple once. James, oh my God. Every like 15 minutes on this two hour drive, they were like, can we stop? We need more water. We just bought you two gallons each. Yeah, I know, we drank it. A bodybuilding couple?

I did, yeah, yeah, yeah. She starts listening to the show. Some high school friends. Tells you how funny Dan is. Oh no. Goes back, listens to this segment. Calls you gay. Calls you gay. Calls you gay.

And then our final fight is actually Jake fights with his wife because on February 24th she wanted him to park in a fire lane and he wouldn't. That would have really upset DC. What happened? The investor of parking in a fire lane. Yeah, it was a go to the school on a Friday night, and the parking lot is full.

And people are parking in the fire lane. And she's like, just park there. No. I'm not going to do it. Oh, no. I'm not going to do it. I'll drop you guys off and park down the street, and I'll walk with him.

Pussy. It's either that, it's either that, or, and I don't even have to say- 200 school children die. Yeah, right, when the fire truck couldn't gain access. But if I'm like, yeah, I don't wanna do it, if I don't, I don't even really have to imply that it's because it's like me, she'll say it.

She's like, oh yeah, what if somebody sees Jake from his podcast? Or a fireman? No. What will they think of him now? Oh no. I feel like that's what people don't understand. There is a little more public pressure on us

to be kind of good people. You know, I mean, Donovan used to talk about this all the time. It would really bother him when his wife would call back after using his name on placing an order, and then she would call back to complain about it, and he's like, no, people will remember that. But I mean, it's not why I return shopping carts,

but it's why I return shopping carts. So what did you do? I just, I told her I'll get out of the car and I'll go park with him. Yeah, okay. But I got made fun of for it, and then of course I come in here the next day and these guys are both like,

why don't you park in the library? Like two of them will do whatever. All of us are driving you back to drink. Yes, that's. Yes. Yes. All right. That's good stuff, Blake.

I'm not done. Yes. All right. That's good stuff, Blake. I'm not done. No. No. Let me speed through these. Oh. Jake has a buddy who was confused why they were going to Meow Wolf. Yeah.

I did. One of my buddies that was there was, what is all this? I love that. I just love it. I got a short list of my guests. Four or five domestic lights. Hey, hey, and I want all of them the art thing Yeah, oh the trip. Hey, this is cool and all but what is what are we doing here? What is this? I'll pay I'll be a rainforest cafe. Yeah, I mean Jake has a buddy who spent six days in a juvenile detention center for dry ice bombs.

True story. Jake has a buddy in Vegas who met Jeremy Piven at a benefit for plastic surgery for domestic violence survivors hosted by Caitlyn Jenner. Former bad radio intern from the 90s, Vegas Mike. You've got two buddies who've been to parties with Jeremy Piven. You I'm not surprised by at all. He would text me late night. I got you up text from J Piv. What? Yeah. Why? I got a little special for him. Because he was probably up. Yeah he says he knew I'd be up. Probably. Little light

snow? Yeah fresh snow. Fresh snow? Jake has a buddy in Seattle. What do you think of Jeremy Piven? He's great. He's great. We've had a couple good times together Nothing, but net see party hard 2008 he did I mean medium medium hard. I mean he seems like that kind of a guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, but that's you know the other character as well. Yeah, I don't know about now, but oh wait That's probably the height of Jeremy Piven. Yeah, he was ARI at the time? He was. Oh my God.

I saw him high five flea. From the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dan. Would you, I know. Come on. I mean, the Chili Peppers, come on. Really? That's a little bit my era, right? They've had a long career.

I mean, it's not Andy Gibb. Well, let's name... Not that good. How many other members? Um... There's the guy with the... Puts the sock on his wiener. Yeah. And then there's the guy in point break.

Right. Okay. And then there's Ringo. Ringo Starr. There's the guy that looks like Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell. I think you just described flea several times. Are they all flea? There's three fleas and one guy who hates 16 year olds. Ooh.

All right, you're right to question me. All right, Jake has a buddy in Seattle who said Mary Kay Letourneau's husband would DJ nightclubs. He knows that. I know all these people. He's here for all of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, she was a, uh, yeah. My favorite part of that was, uh, the way, the place that they grew up was like kind of scummy, but sort of near the water. And so within one neighborhood, the houses that couldn't see the water sucked. And then the houses that could were beautiful and amazing, and because of the strength of their book sales in just the country of France, Mary Kay Letourneau and Villaliou were able to move from one of the crappy houses away from the water down the street to the water. Boy, it's no surprise the frogs ate that shit up.

Yeah, look at their current president. Right up there, Ali. Then let me just skip ahead to one more. Jake has a buddy who said the new Jurassic Park explains the whole plot in the trailer. That shouldn't have been on the list. That was merely mentioning something a friend said to me. Like, really a poor entry.

It's a good observation. Last one. General observations. February 3rd, Dan's wife was stoked to see Venus. It's the little things in life, I guess. Was that right after Luca? Yep. Yeah, walking the dogs. The, you could see it.

You could see the, like, you could see Venus and Mars, I think, that very night. Cool, man. It was crazy, yeah. February 6, Jake's wife yelled at the neighborhood kids for playing on a mound of dirt by their house. That's funny. That's run the ball.

Oh, no doubt. Chickens are still a problem, by the way. It's my chicken update. And then same day, Jake's wife brought up the Luca trade to the bank lady while they were opening up a checking account. That was nasty work. That was really.

Just to, like, does she not? Like you? Like life, yeah. What does she? Yeah, I don't know. You'd think that she'd seen what close to the sun looks like for me, and she'd be trying Yeah, not trying to push you there again. Oh, we're having fun.

February 7th, Dan felt bad for the lady who had to share a bathroom with him. I guess was it? Where were we? Common bathroom and there was a lady in there with you? Where would we have been? I don't remember what you're saying. Fair lease.

Awesome motive? I don't remember what you're talking about. I thought you said you went to the bathroom and there was a lady in there and then you felt bad for her that she had to share the bathroom with a dude. Oh, oh okay, yeah I was at a lunch I think, on Business Wednesday. And I just remarked that that was a, seemed to be a unisex bathroom here in Texas. That's awesome, dude. Yeah, and look, everybody was fine.

Everybody seemed cool. Look, did it have a urinal? No, it just had- Two stalls? No, it had like four stalls, like floor to- With the floor to floor ceiling door. Those are great. Yeah.

And then I was just out washing my hands and then a lady walks out, starts washing her hands. I was like, oh, lady. You'll do it? Yeah. So we're going to, I mean, here we are. It's from what I understand, this is the way this works. There's a sink?

February 11th, Dan says Six Flags is the heaviest place he's been. Heaviest? Yeah, just as I think I was talking Fort Worth Stock Show, the zoo. Oh, the average. Yes, average weight. Weight per person at the place.

That's coming down quite a bit in our Zimpik era. People in general look a lot healthier. Places I would tend to maybe expect not so much. February 17th. As a season ticket pass holder I'm highly offended. To which one? Both. Jake snowboards after swearing it off last year. Dan finds out that Wendy E isn't dead. We discover fairy- Oh yeah! How's Wendy E rocking it?

She's my boggle partner. Yeah, she's doing well. February 20th, Dan used to sneak urinal cakes into his buddy's coat pockets. That's a great bit. Sounds mean. February 25th. They might find it like next winter.

Sometimes that would happen. Steve Noviello is not a gold star gay. Had you ever heard that? What does that mean? He spends a lot of time around male and sexual. Yeah, I've heard gold star. But I'm trying to recall what it is, the details. Never a woman. Never having been with a woman.

Or vice versa. February 27th, you know, vice versa. February 27th, Dan's letters from Ohio. People mad at him that he spent 45 minutes on masturbation and talked about flavored condoms. And then our ender. This from Gay Not Gay. Working out together, not gay. Synchronizing your workout, gay. Taking a walk together, gay.

Not spraying yourself with bug spray, idiot. Sleeping with dudes, not gay. Acting gay, gay. Yeah. I think that's. Joint voicemail, gay. Picking napkin color for wedding, gay. Honking for a bumper sticker, gay.

And giving your dog a middle name, gay. But, being with a dude. Not gay. Not at all. There's your February MBR. Who will pick Lane and blast my star? Mr. Jones' MBR. People listen near and far to Blake Jones' MBR.

Osa talk next. Well, first, let me wrap this up. From Alec. No, we're out of time. I went too long. Who gives his monthly Blake. Yeah. Now, let me just tell you, I'm editing this down severely,

but this is the notes. Oh, there's no way I said that much. Monthly Blake review. Quite a few of these are just indicating that yes, he is run the ball guy now. One of those would be Blake now goes to bed at 10 to 11 o'clock. Yeah, unfortunately.

That's unbelievable. I know. Blake no longer listens to Kendrick because of the amount of mental effort needed to listen. Yeah, I don't have time. I think that's totally fair. I don't have time for it anymore. That is run the ball guy, though.

Not into puzzles. Blake went number two in the Dragon Den. Sorry. I tried to hide it. And I'll just end with Blake claimed, this is during the, one of your high school basketball playoff games, Blake will try to make innuendos with Chisholm Trail.

Yeah, I didn't. Nothing. No. The Yeah, I didn't. Nothing? No. The boys, for the show. It was a serious, it was a playoff game. The people. Couldn't do it. It was a playoff game.

Somebody should have told Coach Wes Moreland. Yeah, how'd that work? The boys played Chisholm Trail. Oh. And they won that game. Did it leave a mark? Was it salty? Mine was a little better. Was it like cum?

Hey! No, my only thought was doing like the uniforms, just something about, I don't know, white uniforms with chism on the back. But I couldn't bring myself. You let that go? I couldn't do it. Unbelievable.
