Giving us the monthly Blake review? I think I might be the only one who hates this more than Blake.

You hate it? I'm tearing this down to five things now. Go back on my own Conan O'Brien advice. What do you think, scene? 690 scene? More Blake review for sure. You want to hear this? Yes.

It's the new MBR. Things that Blake won't do. He won't help you if you jump off a bridge and live. I don't remember that. What are we working with here? Some sort of a you deserved it? I think there was a guy in San Antonio that jumped off a bridge and people tried to help him and then he stole their car

So yeah, if you make the decision that you're jumping off a bridge You're just gonna keep walking. That's like whatever. Yeah, that was your decision Why Blake won't let Dan or Jake meet his sister? Yeah Those very worlds don't need to collide. You know why? It's because he doesn't want her to have an awesome dude like us. Yeah, that's gotta be what it is. She's married to a mechanic.

Yeah, well, I mean, but dude. Oh, we can't help. We're on TV, dude. And I think, like, probably also, he probably thinks of his sister is like a pretty straight lace type You know I thought I would imagine everybody thinks of their sister like the type who's not Necessarily into being double-teamed, but then she meets us yeah, and then she'll want it And then it's a whole new world of possibilities. You know because the two of us together. Yeah Lake think sports video games now suck. They do, man. Henry, what do you think? Off mic, just yell yes or no.

I think they're just not creative enough. That's what I hear. Didn't you yell yes or no? It's OK. He was still pretty to the point. He got to the history of a video. Blake thinks you don't need to be friends with your teammates to build camaraderie.

He also thinks that's gay. Sean, what do you think? That's probably a cowboy thing. More on that later in closing remarks. Things Blake wants. He wants to find the Oilers girl from last year who flashed the crowd. Can't be that hard. I agree. Why not?

Yeah, how's she doing? Blake wants a better representation of... You're a local Tim Hortons. Blake wants a better representation of the youth in celebrity birthdays. He's getting it. Check. Henry. Check. Local Tim Hortons. Blake wants a better representation of the youth in Celebrity Birthdays. He's getting it. Check. Get Henry.

Check. Blake saw a guy wearing a Make America Straight Again shirt. Bought a watermelon ice vape. Which seems to be, those are diametrically opposed. It is funny though, because I was imagining the other day, okay, so obviously Clayton and I are obsessed with the show Generation Kill.

I feel like our whole affect, my generation, is summed up by monster energy drinks. Right? So that's like that wave. And I think it's similar. I didn't tell you this, but at the Call of Duty section of dream hack the video game convention I went to

Free monster. Yeah, for sure as you walk in there's a line green monster white monster Whatever monster you wanted just walk up. They'll crack it Yeah, but the funny thing about it Dan is imagine like okay So it's one thing if all of our boys are over there, you know, just slamming rip fuel and lemon flavored monster But it's another if they're like rolling into a village aggressively, there's bad guys here, and they all have things in their hands that look like this.

Uh huh. Like just an army of 19 year old hard asses who have pink ice vape. Like it's not chew that looks tough. You just hear the. Bad ass. Yeah. Cigar. No, no, nothing like that. Just your like apple mango ice One some famous general right MacArthur somebody had a cigar. No

No, we'll just be over here blowing clouds, but Be afraid We'll just go on Where am I? Blake walked, we had a hot girl in studio, Jordan, he walked her out after the show, we've never seen that before. We had Jeremy Piven right there.

And he's like, eh. Whatever dude, Piven, out. Like after the show he acts so busy, like oh god, get this out there, get this out, all of a sudden, it's like oh no no no. It was really weird. She's like I know where I'm going, no no no let me. of a sudden, it's like, oh, no, no, no. It was really weird. She's like, I know where I'm going. No, no, no, let me. Some say gentlemen, it's fine.

Says here Blake is in the softball playoffs, but his team sucks. Yep. How's that going? We're out. You're out of the playoffs now? Immediately. That was the 26th.

Yeah. Yeah, we didn't make it very far. Okay. And the almost final one, cause I have a final one of my own. Blake doesn't understand the concept of advertising and how businesses can benefit from it. What was that about? The concept he's like what do they even give for their money? Why would anybody spend money on that? No one's gonna want to sponsor a DZ across the globe or whatever.

Oh yeah, because one of our fine advertisers, it may have been one of them, you can guess, one of them who was supporting the DZ GSE this Saturday. Qualis Roofing is the main sponsor, but we got Communally Mechanical, Texas Trident, Fair Lease, and Silverback Construction. One of them came up to me, pulled me aside, and said, hey, any trip you wanna take, we'll pay for it. Like, we'll sponsor it. Blake. I was like, that's great, and Blake's like, why?

Like, we'd be mentioning them all the time. Well, let's go to Denver, not Peru. I don't wanna go over there. Over the... All right, anyway, and then my final one is. It's down there. Shut up. On this particular day, it's especially relevant. Blake just had a guy in studio.

He came to visit. He was watching part of the first half of the show. And then during the break was was just talking to Blake. And then he's gone. I don't know who he was. I feel like I probably never will remember who that was. I find this particularly relevant because Clayton had a friend in studio today, introduced us to him.

Sean is his name. Yeah, told us he works in our field. Seems cool. We talked back. Yeah. I'm interested in knowing Clayton's friend and he seems pretty, you know, Clayton's a good guy so I'm figuring this guy's, he did.

No introduction, no nothing? No, he had to leave and he came in during the show. He was here for 10 minutes during a break. Yeah, but he wanted to see the Fox Studios. Well then he was standing here for at least seven minutes. Yeah, I didn't know if I should say bye because I never said hi. Like, hey, this is Dan, this is Jake, these are the guys I work with, no?

No, I don't know if he knows you guys or not. Well, that's when you introduce us! I didn't know that Sean dude either. Yeah, that's the first- You had to go get that guy a pass. It's not like you could just walk somebody into this building. You have to schedule it. It's not like you could just walk into this building. Now I see why my wife- If we're out and I don't introduce my wife to somebody that I'm talking to. You feel besmirched?

No, she will get mad at me and I have to tell her, I go, look, if I don't introduce you it means I don't remember their name. So you have to like step forward. Like I'm not doing that on purpose. He's doing it on purpose. Yeah, there you go. He knew this guy's name. Yeah, that's my good buddy Wayne, the spotter for TCU Radio for football. I would have been very interested to know that. Yeah, what a story, how long?

He's got some wonderful stories. He's been doing it for a long time, and he's the first and only member of the Beehive Book Club, which is why he was here today. We just exchanged books. And in fact, he just gave me this, The Boys in the Boat, which I think you've read. Yeah, no, we've read it. It's exactly like with South Park where, yes, Dan read it, talked about how

great it was. I read it, talked about how great it was, but then effing Sam or whatever, not this is Sam, what's the other guy's name? Donnie shows up and all of a sudden he's Oprah with the book club. We read that book years ago. Well I'm about to read it now because it's my turn to read it because- Because your guy, this guy tells you to read it. Well we go, yes sir I'll do whatever you say. Yeah, what do you say? I couldn't believe how you told me it was fourth and two. You fool. We meet up every couple months to switch books because we read them and talk about them with each other and he lives in there. If I had someone walk in during the break,

I would be like, hey, this is Blake. Yeah, oh. This is Henry. This is like. What do you do? What's your scene? Oh, Blake's a great guy. We've known him.

It's called, you know, being a human. Yeah, we're just people, dude. You know what this is? It's just like whenever he had Norm. He's at heart, mustache, doesn't matter. We got a twink on our hands over here, and he needs an older man that he can always feel a little bit subservient to.

He didn't really care to meet y'all, he just wanted to meet Steve Noviello from the 10. Well, I'm not gonna blame him for that. That's not. Introduce him. All right. Here's Jay. Enough of your garbage. Speaking of garbage, we've got this THC bill, Senate Bill 3, and that would effectively end cannabis compounds that give you a little buzz. Now are they

gonna do it like Juneteenth? Are they gonna tell all of us weed heads or whatever? No but I mean are they gonna give us like a grace period? It starts in February or does it start like this day? My guess is it'll be one that starts pretty quickly. I was told like the fall. But it has to be signed by Governor Abbott. And there's actually some thought that this might not get signed. I've had like police, at least two police officers, or two, pretty easy to keep count of.

I don't know why I said at least two. I had two police officers who hit me up about it, and they were like, I think that there's a chance Abbott actually does sign this. Like there's police groups that are lobbying him to veto it. And so for our part, obviously we work with Early Bird, and in the show notes we'll put they have- Yes, that's the reason.

It's just because we work with Early Bird. We just care about small businesses. Right. And deregulation, which has always been my thing. States rights. There you go. No, is that a thing? That doesn't count?

Just stop. All right. We'll put the link in the show notes that Early Bird sent us, and I don't know if that stuff matters. I'm going to write a letter because I like Early Bird. But if you want to do the same, you can do that based on that link in the notes.

I mean, right now, we're at a point where this is the only way this doesn't happen. It's all up to him. Yeah, I always wonder, how effective is that? Is there a study anywhere? It would be hard to do. I bet there is. But it would be hard to do because it's like a lot of stuff

you don't hear about, right? You hear about a backlash to something like, for example, Keller School District. That got out and the public said, this seems pretty racist. And now they can't do it. And then they went so far as to add a law to the Texas state constitution

about how redistricting can work. Okay. But that's not one where there was even a petition, you know? People just showed up at a meeting. Facebook is how this stuff works. Seems like. So there is a... yeah. There is some hope, but who knows.

So the law is that no THC can be trafficked? Is that basically it? Trafficked? It can be... Or whatever. Yeah. Now. But CBD gummies will still be fine, I guess. There is a program called the Texas Compassionate Use Program. And it is not being outlawed. So as a backup, it's kind of medical.

If you need to Google that, that's under unknown. I've heard that it works. But let's just start with writing the letter. Yeah, let's just try to not get there. Let's try to not get there. That would be ideal. The Dumbs. The Dumbs.

The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs.

The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs. The Dumbs.

The Dumbs. The Dumbs.
