I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. There's Clayton back there, prepping his break for the stream where he will talk about fast food. Did you know he does that?

Starting point is 00:02:34 Like while you're in the bathroom, he's like hosting a little show. I know the people love it. I was on the road for Thursday and Friday's show and I tried to get involved in the break. He stonewalled me. Oh yeah, he'll cut you out of that. Yeah. I didn't like that. I just wanted to talk son of a butcher. It's like your dad entered into the room. Everyone stopped talking. Jake's here. Oh you didn't like that Jake jumped in. No I don't like

Starting point is 00:03:00 Jake in the chat. That was you in the chat? Yeah. Well, his name was Jake Kim. I didn't see that. I just saw the- Blake was able to do a little tech difference. Crack the code. Shh, shh, shh. It's Jake. It's Jake.

Starting point is 00:03:13 Hey, look. There's Jimmy Nelson. Hey! What are you doing here? Why is Jimmy Nelson? Oh, my goodness. Hey, guys. How are you doing?

Starting point is 00:03:19 Comedian. Comedian friend. I let the intern sit next to him on the couch. Is that OK? What do you mean? You let the intern. Well, he set- the intern sit next to him on the couch. Is that okay? What do you mean? You let the intern? Well, he said the intern sat down and then these two... He has a name. The muscle were like, hey, Henry, guest coming in today. Get up.

Starting point is 00:03:36 I was like, ah, you're probably fine, bro. I don't know. I don't know. Jimmy can be intimidating. No. Are you intimidated? Okay, that was an answer. I gave him a salute. I gave him a salute. I'll take it. Left handed, limp-wristed. He is part of the state.

Starting point is 00:03:54 He's got a mic right in front of you, dude. By the way, we could save this for the news, but we're not gonna, cause it's our top story. Ladies and gentlemen, they got him. Trevor McEwen. No! Apprehended. Where? This morning. It wasn't that far from where he started. Let me, I was.

Starting point is 00:04:10 Which guy was this? This is a guy who was due in court one month ago in Kaufman County for a murder trial. He was accused of killing his neighbor. Some even saying it might have been a hate crime because he had been harassing this Latino family that lived next to him. And a lot of the harassment was racially based.

Starting point is 00:04:31 So that crime was like late 2023 and he'd been out on bond for some time. And the morning of the trial, a month ago, popped that Anklemani off and hit the road. Hit the road. How'd they get him? May 5th. There's very, very little details about this right now,

Starting point is 00:04:51 other than a photo which was posted by the Kauffman County Sheriff's Department. So I don't know if that means he was there or not, but it's just him looking all beaten in the back of a cruiser. Well, you got away, you were gone longer than a lot of us thought you would be. Way more. How are the New Orleans 10 doing?

Starting point is 00:05:10 Had I been involved in underdog fantasy, I would have taken the lower. How are the New Orleans 10? Ooh, that's a good question. They still got, I think they still got one or two out. Last I had was two. I think that's where good question. They still got, I think they still got one or two out. Last I had was two. I think that's where we still are, yeah. Two at large.

Starting point is 00:05:32 I think I could get out. I never thought that I could, but after I really saw the breakdown of the New Orleans one, it doesn't seem as hard as I thought. What do you mean get out? Like get out of the country. Oh, okay. After you're out of jail. You can't like live life in America still.

Starting point is 00:05:48 Right. It's wild, you're gonna get caught. I thought you said you could break out of prison. Oh, that'd be tougher. But if I did find myself in a situation, like I'm out on bond. So if you were this guy that escaped in Kaufman County, like what's your play?

Starting point is 00:06:02 We drive to the beach, we gotta get on a coast, that That's where the exit is you just bribe like a Fisher guy Get on a boat get to do some island hopping. You don't have money. Oh Well, then what if you well, yeah, I guess the guy out on bond might have been able to scrounge together some money Yeah, again, he's this murder happened late 2023 but we have to be cash Yeah, but you have time. If you have 14 months to start chipping away at cash, now I imagine they have some level of control of your bank,

Starting point is 00:06:35 but you're gonna be able to get money to get on that boat. But that is- 200 bucks. You need cash for the boat. Then once you're in a country with no extradition, fire up that credit card, baby. And you have this list of countries? Here I am. I don't know. He must. I'm just saying no extradition. Does that exist on this continent? I think there's Central and South America that you could pull that off. I mean, remember, Jimmy was- It doesn't sound like you really know. Jimmy was a- I am unsure. A teacher in China without knowing any Chinese.

Starting point is 00:07:09 Take skill. Well, he was teaching English though. Yeah. You gotta just not be worried about how the quality of your instruction, and you can teach anywhere. Yeah, if you're on Rate My Prof. Jimmy Nelson is a local firefighter

Starting point is 00:07:24 and a standup comedian. What a combo. So your goal is to not be a firefighter? That's the goal. I would guess if you can ever start making as much comedianing. Yeah, I would leave. As firefightering,

Starting point is 00:07:39 then you'll make the full time switch. Yeah, and I do wanna make a big show of retiring. Nice. Like have a retirement party for like 12 years on. They got guys who can do like the 40 years. Yeah, like oh my God, he's dedicated. 36 years of dedicated service. Yeah, and it's not like you did 12 years

Starting point is 00:07:57 and then you're like, hey, I'm going to the Secret Service. Yeah. No, I'm gonna go dick around. I got dick jokes to tell. Tell oral jokes instead of saving lives. But Jimmy will be with us. This Saturday. This coming Saturday at our generic summer event.

Starting point is 00:08:17 Very excited for it. Presented by Qualis Roofing. Let's see, Saturday, June 7th, the local shacks at Austin Ranch. That's in the colony. It'll also be on YouTube, if you want to watch that. Yeah, so Saturday, we're not exactly sure how it's going to go. I think we're going to do, you know, a little comedy, a little music. We're trying to be all things to all people and that usually is not a good idea, right?

Starting point is 00:08:47 But we just wanna have a nice night out. So if you're not into music, you'll have Jimmy and us. If you hate podcasts, you'll have a couple of bands. Yeah, something for everyone. I don't know how it's gonna go, but I would like you to be there to see how it's gonna go. Me? No, I'm fairly certain. Oh, generally? You mean people? You have a level of sunk cost at this point. It'd be tough to back out. Yeah, I have to be there. We'd be on the hook. But I do want to be there. You gotta pay mustache over here, the big

Starting point is 00:09:19 bucks. No, I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. Have you seen Blake's mustache? I can see it right now. Have you before? Like, yeah. Yeah, he had it when gonna be a lot of fun. Have you seen Blake's mustache? I can see it right now. Have you before? Like, yeah. Yeah, he had it when we were doing promo stuff. Okay, yeah. Cause you got a sweet one, of course. Of course.

Starting point is 00:09:32 But is that mandatory if you- His is solid. Yeah, we rubbed ours together. Like if you work for the city, you have to? At some point in time, you have to at least try. Okay, does every firefighter have a mustache? The guys? We're probably at like 70%. It's up there.

Starting point is 00:09:47 Expectable numbers. Half of them, terrible. Mine's on the bad end of the spectrum. There's some Alzheimer's, but you know, you gotta try. So yeah, it'll be six to nine, or six to question mark. But six to nine if you follow a, you know, low brow humor. Which. About double oral.

Starting point is 00:10:10 We only put that up out there for those that do. We don't agree with it. Trafficking out. Not necessarily. But. Henry, thoughts on 69ing? It's fun. Is it still around?

Starting point is 00:10:23 Are the kids still into it? Oh yeah. Okay. Oh yeah, the kids are into it. It's only the kids it still around? Are the kids still into it? Oh yeah. It's only the kids that are into it. Well, Jake's Lake House would have us disagree with only the kids, but in general, isn't it something you do because you think it's going to be really cool? Now let me be clear about that. Because that story is canon, then we should have it cleaned up. That was not a 69 situation, but it was a lady with her hands up on a

Starting point is 00:10:47 wrought iron picnic table With her skirt like lifted up and a lady behind her her friend was a was mowing down munching was much I have a little and the other party night snack correct Fourth meal I believe the yeah, what's called it. You want to space them out sure while the third party was a man who was just I believe the belt once called it. Well, you want to space them out. Sure. While the third party was a man who was just furiously cranking it. Oh, over in the, that's a good beat.

Starting point is 00:11:12 That's not a bad beat. Not a bad beat, love. Can find yourself in that state. It was probably a holiday, you know? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that guy was living. You got to wonder how many other Airbnbs they had That's a good question.

Starting point is 00:11:27 Pulled this off. Like was that the first time they tried it? No. And they get busted? We've had to pay for a lot of carpets to be cleaned. Yeah. On our Airbnb app. Yeah, I think you kinda know.

Starting point is 00:11:38 There'd be times too. And this is like probably homophobic. But like when it was 10 dudes and it didn't seem like they were bros, I just assumed they were having a gangbang. Like when we went back to the house, I was like, if I just assume there's cum everywhere, I can't be disappointed.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Like you don't want Stossel in there with the black light. Exploited the worst. Yeah, yeah, anyways. Pleasantly surprised sometimes. I'm just glad to hear 69 being around is The kids are all right We're gonna make it guys. I know it's a turbulent time politically But right but as long as they're like, what if we both did it at the same time? Yeah, I think we have the it's gonna be

Starting point is 00:12:19 How old were you when you first saw hardcore porn? Like 14 Well, like what do you what do you define as hardcore? What do you first saw hardcore porn? Like 14. Well, like what do you define as hardcore? What do you define as hardcore? I don't really know the difference. Yeah, I guess full pin. I'm like the perfect age where I had a brief era of like, if I wait half an hour, a JPEG of these titties will load.

Starting point is 00:12:44 But that, by the time I was like 20, that was no longer, I was watching downloaded Kazod Milf Hunter. I would say I'm old enough to have had to try some things before I actually ever saw them. Right. Whereas now I think you're a kid. That's why I'm not surprised that the 69 is alive with the kids because-

Starting point is 00:13:03 It's depicted. They've seen it, yeah. This is is why representation matters we thought we discovered it you know like no no no this is even got a name a thing yeah you know it's yeah we thought we discovered you know doggy like oh my gosh oh this angle whoa no and conversely that's why look at her this is why my sex for points list that I got busted for had acts on it that I had never even come close to attempting. Yeah. But I'm like, well.

Starting point is 00:13:32 But they're fun. If they're doing that in the movies, maybe that's in the play. Lawrence had a very good joke, Lawrence Rosales, about Doggie Style. And it was when women like it, it's like no guys ever thought to themselves, like, oh, it's because she can't see me. Yeah, I know. The only way I can finish is if I'm facing the wall. I'm fine with that.

Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, don't think about it too much. I'm just happy to be here. I would not want to look at me either. But it is kind of, it's funny that the other option is wall. It's not like you're being compared to Tom Cruise. Walls. I'll take wall. Wall, not like you're being compared to Tom Cruise. Walls. I'll take wall. Walls, that wall's okay.

Starting point is 00:14:08 All right, let's do a weekend check. Oh, brought to us by Elite Rides, DFW. Jimmy knows about Elite Rides. Elite Rides, I think they're gonna drive us up to the DZGSE on Saturday. Wow. Up to the colony. That's great news. But they have other vehicles as well. If you want

Starting point is 00:14:25 to ride up there and a ride back, the ride back 844 ride DFW or let's see online elite rides dash DFW.com or the app, the app where they use AI. I don't know, but I do know you can get beautiful van. Yeah, Just the best. Stunning. 15% off with the promo code DZ15. So whether you're looking to maybe a Rangers game, maybe a generic summer event. I said they do a lot of like corporate outings. Like people come in town and they're all staying there

Mm-hmm. They got like a cord in there. You plug it right in right charge you right up Yeah, you can drink one of their waters. I drank one of their waters trying to give me an IV

Starting point is 00:15:19 He was like you look dehydrated. I'm like, that's overkill. I drank when they're waters, then I pulled out my wallet and they're like, no, no, no. Free, bro. Mikasa su kasa. You think this was, you must be thinking of shitty rides, DFW. Yeah. This is elite.

Starting point is 00:15:38 Elite rides. I don't have a great weekend check. I was prepping a lot for the DZ GSE thing, which just means, you know, finally making sure we're going to have t-shirts made and all that kind of stuff. I did stick around at our Friday remote a little longer than you did, and I did learn it's funny because you hear like, hey, just stop talking about Luca. You'll hear that.

Starting point is 00:16:10 But the guy we were hanging out with on Friday, he's like, it's like he felt now free to talk Luca. Like he knew like, it's kind of like, we don't want to just do it on the show. But we just sat there talking Luca for another half hour. And we had come to the final agreement. I believe This is me and who are we with on Friday Andrew plum Andrew plum That

Starting point is 00:16:37 We would trade the number one pick and Anthony Davis to get Luca back without a doubt Yeah, I wouldn't even have to think about it. I might even throw in some other stuff if they need it. Cause Polinka's like- Well, I mean, I guess it's because implicit in this, Nico's getting fired, right? Like that's the only way that, I don't know what- Yeah, Nico's not doing this.

Starting point is 00:16:57 Let's make the trade and fire Nico and I think you get a lot of people back. Yeah, of course. I couldn't wait to go back. Yeah. I couldn't wait. Also, so he said, Yeah, I couldn't wait also So he said oh, I wish Jake was here. What did he want to do? He wanted to do bits with Jake

Starting point is 00:17:11 Yeah, I was Jake. Do we Would I save it or do you want to tell him what it was? Cuz it was he's gonna have us out there again. Yeah Well, I'll give him at least this one. Okay. He wanted to give you a book. Okay. What is this? Oh, wow. The Mark Hoppus memoir that just came out. I will read that. And who is this?

Starting point is 00:17:32 Mark Hoppus. Frontman of Blink-182. Co-frontman of Blink-182. Okay. Sorry. Stand down. Well, we're not just gonna, what is Tom then? Or fucking, rather than alien guy.

Starting point is 00:17:44 He said he's read it all. TC told me it's fantastic. He wanted to give it to the other guy We're not just gonna, what is Tom then? Come on. Rather than alien guy. He said he's read it all. TZ told me it's fantastic. He wanted to give it to the other guy that he knew would read it. I will read it. It is on the list and now I have it in my hands. That guy's a hero of mine.

Starting point is 00:17:55 If you guys ever wanna fire the guestbooking leak back up. Mark Hoppus? Tom would probably be number one because Tom's like making the government admit that they know about aliens and stuff. Who would be easier to book? Ooh, that's a 50-50. He just had a book come out.

Starting point is 00:18:10 He did a bunch of podcasts. That's probably easier then, yeah. Yeah. To pimp his book. Were you a Blink guy? Oh yeah. I think Tom would be easier to book. He's on the fringe stuff.

Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah. I think if you just get a positive invite, he'd be like, oh wow, okay. Yeah, he'll talk, as long as you let him talk aliens to the stars, what's your opinion of Blink 182? Don't really have one. No, not really. Okay, I didn't figure.

Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. I like this whole one to two word answer Henry over here. Listen, you complain about it until you have one that takes the bite. You're like, ah. Well, if I had a lot to say about it until you have one that takes the bite. You're like, ah. Well, if I had a lot to say about it, I would. I appreciate it. I appreciate your honesty.

Starting point is 00:18:54 Do you have anything else, Dan? That's pretty much it. The new Happy Gilmore trailer dropped. I knew you'd be excited about that. Yep. That's a tough one, man. I mean, obviously I'm taking a massive L. The fact the movie's coming out,

Starting point is 00:19:08 I didn't think it was happening. I feel like I have some level of, I don't know if it's an excuse, but the thing, when I saw that it was coming out, it was like, and as, you know, Chubbs' son, Charlie Woods, like this is not, there's no way this is real. But it was just a-

Starting point is 00:19:27 Sydney Sweeney would be a car girl. Yeah. Oh yeah. And it turns out Paige Spirnak, I think actually is in it. But- The internet golf girl. Right, right. But it doesn't look funny at all.

Starting point is 00:19:39 Like it doesn't look funny to my 12 year old sensibilities. Like I barely even cracked a smile during the trailer and you're thinking, this is a good idea, you don't need the money. You know what it is. Let me tell you what it is. I'm interested in Jimmy's thoughts on this, but I guarantee you he will, in the press tour for this,

Starting point is 00:19:58 say something to the effect of, I wanted to make it for my kid's generation. It'll be something, because he definitely doesn't need the money. I love Adam Sandler's career now. He's just, he'd made hits for a long time, and now he's like, I openly admit that sometimes I like hanging out with my buds,

Starting point is 00:20:19 and we just happen to make a movie. They're not always great, some of them are good. He doesn't own Netflix. He didn't sign himself to a 10 movie, $900 million deal that required him to give Kevin James home team the story of Sean Payton's year in exile. Yeah, I mean they did think maybe we're getting

Starting point is 00:20:42 a really motivated Adam Sandler here. They got onut gems though That's the risk. They yeah, that was great Fantastic those just Netflix it came out at the movies, but I feel like that was part of that deal. Maybe it wasn't okay I'm just saying I think the guys done good stuff like posts prime Spanglish Spanglish that was Vega. Ooh. A punch drunk love.

Starting point is 00:21:08 Funny people. So this is gonna be just a Netflix release, not in theaters at all. Right. Oh, I didn't know that. It's kinda crazy. Bobon's in it. Feels spare.

Starting point is 00:21:18 Oh, is Bobon in it? Oh, it'll be the who's who of people that show up at Super Bowl parties, you know? See, he's gonna play the guy with the nail in his head? Probably, probably. I think Scottie Scheffler makes an appearance in it. Of course. M&M's in it?

Starting point is 00:21:33 Hometown Kid. M&M? Yeah. Scottie hot right now. He plays Red Lobster Guy. But yeah, what, it's bad bunnies in it. Like let's just get every algorithm trigger we can and just throw them in here.

Starting point is 00:21:50 That's why we got Jimmy out at the Dumb Zone Generic Summer Event this Saturday. That's true. The ol' algorithm hijacked Kimmy Nelson. Yeah, I don't have a crazy weekend check either. We were down in Surfside Beach, about half an hour south of Galveston with the family. There was a drowning last Monday. They told us to be on the lookout for the body. Never saw the body. Did it ever emerge? I haven't

Starting point is 00:22:14 looked this morning. But I did look yesterday and it's the last update was you see this on these stories sometimes there there's something called techs, equa search or something. It's like an aqua, it's some sort of private thing. I don't think it's like state-run, they'll search for your body. Oh yeah, you gotta. Yeah. You gotta go private to do that.

Starting point is 00:22:38 I guess, but I think they may just do it on their own. Like it's just a group of dudes who are certified. Yeah, if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. Yeah, that's true, firefighter Jimmy Nelson. Scraping the bottom of dirty water for dead bodies. For dead bodies. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:54 Lord forbid a man has a hobby. Yeah. And, you know, they could do golf balls on the other. Yeah, sure, golf balls. The other days, go to golf courses. Gotta generate revenue, you know? Treasure. Yeah. If available. What a to golf courses. Gotta generate revenue, you know? Treasure, if available.

Starting point is 00:23:06 What a fun start to a family holiday is, hey, by the way, if there's a corpse floating around. Dude, it was the day we got there. Yeah. And they're like, just so you know, what are you gonna say? What was the submerged, the submarine that was going out

Starting point is 00:23:25 and to see the Titanic but then blew up or whatever. Did you see that's dropping on Netflix, like coming next week? I saw like a- There's like a little documentary. The depiction of what your body would do, that must be from that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:23:38 There's a Mark Hoppus tie in for that by the way. Have you ever seen a- To that story. The Titanic thing? No, a bloated dead body in water. Oh yeah? Oh yeah, okay. Real gross.

Starting point is 00:23:51 So how's it different in, let me finish the Hoppus thing real quick. Oh yeah. Do you remember there was a guy who, I think he was from San Diego where they're from, his stepdad was a billionaire and he was on the boat, the submerged thing, and that guy was tweeting about it. He also had, almost all of his other tweets

Starting point is 00:24:09 were him just tweeting porn stars. And while the boat was still down there, whatever you want to call it, the vessel, he tweeted from a Blink-182 show, times are tough, but still rocking bands back together after 20 years. And now I can't think of Blink without thinking of that stupid sub.

Starting point is 00:24:28 But yeah, so how's it different in Lake or River than Ocean? Because I always heard Lake or River, it floats, right? It just immediately, is it always? I am not sure about that. I think it's just they eventually float. Your body fills with gas and stuff as you're decomposing. And the water's not super deep,

Starting point is 00:24:48 and you're more buoyant than salt water. I'm making shit up right now. No, I'm kidding. That sounded great. This all feels right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's interesting. So, does it sometimes break apart?

Starting point is 00:25:02 Oh, you get like skin sloughs off, and it's just your big bag of mush. That is so gross. No good. No good. So yeah, body never turned up. I think my daughter got stung by a jellyfish. Did you pee on it?

Starting point is 00:25:20 No, but I did make a joke about it, which helped in the moment. She was freaking out pretty bad. and it was a, it were huge whelps. It hurts, doesn't it? Yeah, I've never had it happen to me. My wife has, and I guess it goes away pretty quick, but then the next day, we saw like five or six of them out in the water throughout the day. And I think I found that this may be an area where,

Starting point is 00:25:45 like I almost got in a fight at flag football yesterday. That's still in play, sober me. But I think like, oh, fuck it, why don't we just go all the way out in the ocean, especially the Gulf. I don't think that's coming back unless I have like a full on relapse. There's just, it just doesn't make sense.

Starting point is 00:26:02 You're like a safe guy now? I mean, I'll get in the water, but like we used to just get hammered. It just doesn't make sense. You're like a safe guy now? I mean, I'll get in the water, but we used to just get hammered and be like, how far can we make it? Great idea. Great idea. Was that a good idea? Just during the daytime, you'd have five, six beers

Starting point is 00:26:17 and be like, let's just go out there. And now I'm just really thinking about all of it, the drowning, the sharks, the jellyfish. It's just... Look how old you are now. What's the draw when you're out there? It is fun. Oh yeah, you don't like water at all.

Starting point is 00:26:31 I'm out here. Nah, you feel like you're part of... Cause I mean, if you want to be honest. You're communing with nature. The truth is you came from that water. There is a thing deep inside you. The first species ever. Calling you back? Came from that water. There is a thing deep inside you. The first species ever. Calling you back?

Starting point is 00:26:47 Came from that. Listen, go back and watch or read. The toadies tried to tell us this. That's right. Or Rust Cole's speech in season one of True Detective about humanity joining hand in hand and returning to the ocean together. There's something that be calling the human to the ocean.

Starting point is 00:27:04 Not feeling that. Well, that makes you exactly the level of cyborg I take you as now. I actually came from air conditioning, so I'm going to head back there. But yeah, I'd approach it and I'm like, I'm not going out there. I'm just probably not going to do it. My parents' rental house, or the house that they own, it sits in between two massive rental houses. Like 20 person, your typical beach house,

Starting point is 00:27:31 what you think of. There's as much smaller. But it's almost always rented out by families or big groups next door. And all weekend, I was extremely fascinated with one member of the party next door. There were probably 20 of them Most of them were down at the beach all day. These were country whites

Starting point is 00:27:51 Country stock my people Their matriarch I can only assume was like a 95 year old woman who kind of looked like a reptile She had hunch over like the grandma hunch where her face just points forward. Chainsmoke the whole time. Hell yeah. Never, ever, she beat me up every morning. She was on the deck before I was. She was out there at night.

Starting point is 00:28:16 She never went to the beach. It was hot as fuck. And she just sits out there and chainsmokes cigarettes and drinks Dr. Pepper. That's the plot twist. All day. She's 42. She may have been.

Starting point is 00:28:28 I mean, the funny thing is there were two what looked like grandmas there and we could tell there was a nice grandma and a mean grandma. But this lady just sat up there like a, seriously like imagine like a reptile in the desert just cooking all day. Is she alive?

Starting point is 00:28:45 You don't know, only when she blinks. She's pickled now. Grandkids are coming up, okay, we're gonna grab the sandcastle stuff. And she's just up there, sweaty, clearly not wearing like summer gear. She's got a muumuu on, and I just couldn't take my eyes off of her.

Starting point is 00:29:03 Man, smoking in the summer. Like I just don't know that they're making those anymore, you know? I used to always see people out smoking. Dude, it was the worst. Drinking a cup of coffee. It's like when we do- Couldn't there be anything worse

Starting point is 00:29:14 than hot coffee and a cigarette? The stretch I had where I was smoking cigarettes when I was drinking and you couldn't smoke in bars, just outside, it's the worst. And that's that lady's whole vacation. Is to just saw heaters. What she wants to do. And then yeah, I do have a possible incident to discuss

Starting point is 00:29:35 from yesterday's loss in the championship to the God Squad. You made it to the championship. The first team forfeited. If you move the tournament, not everybody's gonna be able to play. Okay. So team forfeited. If you move the tournament, not everybody's going to be able to play. OK. So we were on three.

Starting point is 00:29:47 Hey, availability, that's part of the God squad in the final. And I'll tell you guys that story tomorrow. Because there's a little meat on that bone. Oh, your fight? The cops came. Oh. There were tickets assessed. You can't tell that story in front of Jimmy.

Starting point is 00:30:00 He hates cops. Yeah. I did want to give this shout out, though, from the group chats, two things. One, do you guys, I think today is the day when, like at big jobs, like where they pay you a lot, not like what Henry got, where interns and new hires start today.

Starting point is 00:30:18 It's like a bunch of my buddies who work in the corporate world. This is like a, this is like when they would do- My daughter's interning starting today. Yeah, this is like when they would do. My daughter's interning starting today. Yeah, this is like when they would do the tour of the campus with the parents when you were in college. And you'd just hang out and be like, hey, what's up? Like this is when they bring the fresh meat in.

Starting point is 00:30:37 It's also Pride Month. Just want to wish everybody a happy Pride. Sure, now. I read that brands are gonna be not as big on it this year. Yeah, maybe chilling everybody a happy Pride. Sure. Now, we can list. I read that brands are going to be not as big on it this year. Yeah, maybe chilling out a little bit. But now we can list, like, we're one of the podcasts that did acknowledge Pride Month. Let's look at these others who didn't,

Starting point is 00:30:58 because they do that with, like, NFL teams. Yeah. We're here to end racism, too. I haven't heard Joe Rogan speak up on that I only end racism in February I believe oh shit I thought that was cancer we're also calling for a ceasefire in Russia well what about the other one in Gaza fire away yeah yeah we're worried about Russia now yeah some baller videos out of Ukraine over the weekend.

Starting point is 00:31:26 Do you dork out for that stuff? Not really. Shit, the boys popped off. I don't know if y'all saw this or not, but. The drones? Yeah. Oh yeah, I just read about that this morning. Yeah, it's crazy.

Starting point is 00:31:37 You can just watch 41 Russian tanks be taken out by a couple dweebs in Ukraine. I saw it like, oh, freaking out. You're like, this is amazing. Jake has said it before. It's amazing that you can just watch war now. You can, if you know where to look. From your phone.

Starting point is 00:31:51 I saw a very jarring video on Reddit of like a Russian Ukrainian guy, and they were both alone, and the Russian guy ends up killing the Ukrainian guy, like hand to hand. Oh, shit. On top of each other. I avoided that. I remember that.

Starting point is 00:32:06 I remember that coming across the timeline, yeah. Hand to hand, close quarter. Anyways, yeah, happy pride. Who got the video of that? I don't, yeah, that's a great question. From the dead guy's perspective, who picked up the, picked up his little camcorder and went, well, I'm gonna post this on Reddit. I I don't know we'll throw it in the show notes

Starting point is 00:32:29 Blake about Clayton. Oh you got a zigzag. Oh, okay He wanted to end it. Oh, he does yeah, okay I don't know that's a hesitation in his voice Blake's usually an ender. Yeah, Blake's the ender ten-percenter Saturday went to Bojangles in his voice. Blake's usually an ender. Yeah, Blake's the ender. 10%er. Saturday went to Bojangles. What time? Now, this is fast food talk, not for the chat. This is too good for the chat.

Starting point is 00:32:56 Well, this is just his weekend. This is my weekend check, and this is the weekend. Yeah, Dan. What the fuck's your problem? Saturday went to Bojangles. Uh, I do think the time is important. We're, we're learning about your life. What's their blueberry biscuit, bowberry or something? The bowberry biscuit is available 24 of their opening.

Starting point is 00:33:20 If they're open, there's, there's bowberry biscuits available. I got two of them and ate them in the car on the way home. Okay, it always reminds me of my favorite rap lyric of all time. It's a yada yada yada yada called the bitch Bo Jangles. I'm like, that's, he's a fucking poet. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:33:42 That's art. But very impressed with the offering at Bojangles okay really really good size tendies it's a tendies only place in Texas in the Carolinas they do the full buckets pieces and all that stuff but you asked him don't look all this. I'm just sitting here. I'm amazed. I'm amazed that he's alive. This guy knows about fast food in the Carolinas compared to here. I mean, you got to have your finger on the pulse.

Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah. This guy doesn't listen to the break show. Cover all bases, Dan. But no, it was actually really good are we still on Bojangles like how well yeah stop interrupting it yeah let's the guy talk about some chicken never had Bojangles before I was excited to have Bojangles for the first time score out of 10 and I call out of what out of 10 8 5 8 5 are you putting Canes?

Starting point is 00:34:45 Six, two. Whoa. Noticeably better, Chicken Express? Unless. Chicken Express is sales at dumbzone.com. Chicken Express is probably a six, eight. I'm a big chickenie now. Golden.

Starting point is 00:35:00 I'm a big chickenie guy, yeah. Yeah. Golden Chick is a seven, two. Hall's Honey Fried? Ooh. Never heard of it. Ooh, do you a racist? You don't go to those neighbors.

Starting point is 00:35:10 Who's above Bojangles? Who's above Bojangles? No one you've mentioned yet has exceeded Bojangles. This is recency bias, possibly. I know, possibly. This is why you guys think Dax sucks. I've been trying to explain the recency bias to you for two months

Starting point is 00:35:25 I eat a lot of chicken tenders Awesome that high quality breast meat is why he called that bitch Bojangles. That's right. Now. This is all making sense now I was right critical of it at first, but oh, I'm on board now. No, so I mean Dairy Queen has a really good chicken tender. Okay, what else did you do this weekend? Are you really cutting them off at the knees? I might as well just go home. Well, no, I didn't want to hear the whole history of chicken, though. You asked what we did. I know, I know, now I'm saying what else did we do this weekend? And I'm like, what's next? No, I went to Brahms on Sunday.

Starting point is 00:36:06 Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Brahms. OK. Brahms is a Slepton. Slepton, great hamburger. It certainly is Slepton. You know, I went there the other day and just bought milk. That's a solid.

Starting point is 00:36:21 Eggs. You need some bananas? You actually utilize the grocery store section? It's closer to my house than any grocery store, so if it's like, hey, it's breakfast time. Fun fact about Brom's dairy, they use cows that are A2 genetic, which is- Horror movies.

Starting point is 00:36:39 How about the history of milk, Dan? Are you interested in this? No, but it's better for your digestive system. I have heard that. Brom's has- Go to Brom's and get your that. My grandparents used to say that they were like oh this is better for your gut. That's exactly what they said. I don't know if they knew the term gut health. Thank you for teaching us that. I felt like I had to give something because Dan's just over it like four seconds in. That was a solid overtime shot.

Starting point is 00:37:02 Great comedy timing of going like alright I'm moving on. Sunday I went to Brawl's. What fast food did you eat? I didn't have any this weekend. No. Sorry. Well I had some drunk water burger last night. I did have some. You used the app? No. You should. They have cheeses you don't know about. Oh God, I didn't. Okay. You can get them to toast the bun,

Starting point is 00:37:28 get them to go brioche if you want. Stack those points. What are we doing? Yeah, sorry. Come on. I did have some peanuts at the Ranger game on Saturday. Ranger game on Saturday? Now let's wind back my, Saturday was a loss.

Starting point is 00:37:42 That was the bad one to go to. Yeah. They didn't score. But I was kind of. That was the bad one to go to. Yeah. They didn't score. But I was kinda. Think of your family. You know, from where I parked, I had to walk past Choctaw Stadium, the old ballpark, and I just miss it.

Starting point is 00:37:55 Sure. It looks cool from the outside, it had a lot of personality, but dude, as soon as you walk in that indoor stadium, even with the roof open, it's fantastic. And I would have just had to kill time trying to get Brooks in the shade or trying to not die,

Starting point is 00:38:11 because we sat out in left field, and at the old place it would have been hell. But dude, that place is super cool. That was almost like a rite of passage, is when the Rangers were real bad for a long time. Yeah. Like if you are on a little league team, you could just get free tickets whenever you wanted

Starting point is 00:38:26 and just sitting in the upper deck, just in the sun, in the middle of summer. Just three and a half hour games. Just horrible. They were playing the Cardinals over the weekend and I forget the specifics, but there were a ton of Cardinals fans. Is it because the TV, like they used to be on TV here?

Starting point is 00:38:43 I'm starting to remember why. No, I don't remember why no I don't think so. That's just a straight-up transplant thing. Okay, as far as I know the Cardinals are popular They're not here that often and they're a popular transplant team. I learned that During the World Series was very surprising to me, but no you're thinking of the Cubs in the Braves Maybe that's why I never I watched a lot of Cubs and a lot of Braves. Yeah. The Cardinal thing is weird I don't I don't know. Maybe it was just a section I was in but it felt like it was a ton of Cardinals fans there. After the Rangers game we went to a birthday party and I think the five to eight o'clock

Starting point is 00:39:20 birthday party needs to be moved up in the rankings. For the kid? Mm-hmm, because went to the party, drain all your energy swimming, running around, eating, and then you get in the car, keep them awake, but as soon as they're home, they're in bed. I might lobby for a four to seven, but I can do five to eight. Well, yeah, my kid goes down a little later. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:39:41 So it was perfect. But that is a good time. You're gonna learn this. Oh, yeah. Morning, if you can pull it off. I mean, I guess it depends on your nap window, but TC had like a 9.30 to 11.30 kid birthday on a Saturday a couple weeks ago.

Starting point is 00:39:54 Love it. Now walking in, you're gonna hate it. It's 9 a.m., what are we doing here? Yeah. But walking out, you're gonna love it. A whole day's worth of it. I've only done one year old parties. Done a handful of those this past year. Yeah, midday sucks. It sucks so bad. It's just A whole day. I've only done one year old parties. Done a handful of those this past year.

Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah, midday sucks. It sucks so bad. It's just your whole day then. And everybody has different nap schedules and sleeping or eating schedules. The noon to two is a disaster. Two meals and it ruins everything. One to three, two to four, that's bad bit.

Starting point is 00:40:22 Stop it. So I've been taking Brooks to softball on Sundays. Kill some time in the dugout, ride your scooter, throw the ball around, just be away from a TV for a little bit. Take a couple hacks? Yeah, yeah, his left-handed swing is looking good. And I think I told you this off the air,

Starting point is 00:40:39 but the more I can get him around older kids and sports and hey, look, we hit and now we feel, I just want him to observe that way when he's ready to play he's not thrown off by all of it. And I was about ready to go hit and a guy walks up to me from behind the dugout and said, hey, I think your kid just took a shit in the urinal.

Starting point is 00:41:02 Oh, yeah. Hey, I think your kid just took a shit in the urinal. Oh, yeah And that's a false question like I hey there's I maybe I'm not entirely sure but there's shit in the urinal. Yeah, we're not sure it's your kid Yeah, that part. Yeah, pretty sure like no or else I wouldn't be walking up your kid took a shit in the urinal, and we'd like you to correct it. So I was the ultimate Alonzo morning meme where I was like, God, are you serious?

Starting point is 00:41:31 I'm too old for this shit. In the bathroom. He did go to the bathroom on his own. Yeah, I thought that story was gonna end with on third base. Seriously, you get to the urinal, it's confusing. Yeah, and I think it would have been funny had I walked in there and just seen a kid doing that. But I don't know, I hit and I try to rush

Starting point is 00:41:51 and get up there and sure enough, a big deuce in the urinal, I gotta say, hey dude, we pee here, we go in these doors to poop. But it's like a bidet, because you flush it and it just cleans off the backside. Yeah, he doesn't. How tall is this child? I think he got to jump up there, but.

Starting point is 00:42:09 You're lucky to fall off the wall. You have to jump up there. I don't know how he did it, but he did it. Wow. He went on his own. You ever see the movie Kingpin? The movie Kingpin is the guy who's doing that, the Amish guy. To be a fly on the wall, that would be the logistic.

Starting point is 00:42:25 Taking a dump in the urinal? Yeah, he had never seen a urinal. But Blake's kid has been doing gymnastics. Yeah. So maybe he had some crazy armstrings. He did get promoted over the weekend. Doing the rings, taking a shit. Just soft serves down to the urinal.

Starting point is 00:42:43 Just hanging from rings. Good clean fun. But yeah, I was walking in there to the urethral. Just hanging from rings. Good clean fun. But yeah, I was walking in there, get the water, toilet paper, then you gotta pick it up. So where was he while you were at the plate? Just walking around with a shit bud? Yeah, which, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:42:59 You get to this part of potty training when like if no one is there to wipe him, he'll just pass away. I know, I'm in it. He's not gonna be tied down. I like that freedom. I mean, it's great. I got stuff to do.

Starting point is 00:43:13 Take care of your business. And then the last thing is I really wish you wouldn't have told me about the Yuca app. Yeah, it's dangerous. Did you tell your wife? Yeah. That's your problem. Yeah, now we're going through our thrive box

Starting point is 00:43:24 and making sure that- Yeah, because your wife has pre-RFK, whatever, we gotta come up with a term for that. Like she's primed for RFK food information. She'd already got you eating out of glass. Yeah, we're eating out of glass, which- Oh, we do that one. We've broken several.

Starting point is 00:43:41 Yep, it's our generation's, the women in our generation are doing this. She's starting to drink out of glass, like a ginormous glass thing. Yeah, many of them won't use straws. Many of them don't get the rubber part. Yeah. We'll just knock them over and break them, which is fun.

Starting point is 00:43:57 But I mean, just everything you think is cool, like a Gatorade Zero, hey, no sugar, right? Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Yeah, no, I told you, I was looking for protein bars and protein ice cream, and any of them that taste any good at all are terrible for you, according to the Yuca app, which is basically additives. They have a problem with fake sugar of any sort.

Starting point is 00:44:28 How did the hunt for protein ice cream end? Well, I'll tell you first about my protein bar hunt, which I showed you at the promo thing last week. Jimmy's protein bars taste great and they're healthy. Unaffiliated. For now. For now. Fuck that, you're hustling on the road. Be driving around in 1982, Jimmy.

Starting point is 00:44:45 I found a, Kroger has it. It is protein ice cream. I think it's just called like protein. Yeah. And they have like four flavors and the macros on it are basically the same as a protein shake. Okay.

Starting point is 00:45:00 Pro cream? I don't even know what it's called. You'll know it. It looks like weightlifter ice cream, but it's got like 32 grams of protein and 350 calories and it's awesome. But, Yuka's like, oh, it's full of all this bullshits bad for you.

Starting point is 00:45:13 I want you to get the Ninja Creamy. I'm going to. It's, I seriously, I put it in the cart. I'm going to order that. I'm going to become ice cream man. Protein Pints. Protein Pints, yeah. And it's like written in really aggressive font.

Starting point is 00:45:26 It's not like most ice cream packaging, which is like, come on home to the country. This ice cream's after gay. Eat it. Metal. All right, that's all I had on that. Good? Good. Unless you want to hear about Henry's weekend.

Starting point is 00:45:41 ["Wonderful World of Sparks"] Yeah. ["Wonderful World of Sparks"] From the wonderful world of sports. Actually do, but we have Jared Sandler coming up. Oh yeah, I like that. And we have to tell you that sports is brought to you by Frankl and Frankl, our personal injury attorneys.

Starting point is 00:45:58 We don't want you to get hurt. I don't know, maybe we do want you to get hurt. It wouldn't if one of you got hurt. Yeah. Someone's gonna get hurt. It wouldn't if one of you got hurt. Yeah, someone's gonna get hurt. So if you do and you think it wasn't your fault and you're having problems, call the Frankles. Generally they will help you out with auto accidents, but all kinds of personal injuries.

Starting point is 00:46:21 It's 214 or 817 and then you just dial all threes, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three. Very easy to remember. Like 911, if you have to call 911 and call Jimmy, maybe make that one A, one B. 214, 817, three, three, three, 33, 33. The last time I got in a car accident, I was like, oh man, I haven't done this in a while.

Starting point is 00:46:42 This is terrifying. Don't let it be terrifying. Call the Frankles at 214, 817-333-3333. Sports. So we have a few things. NBA finals are set. I love it. You do? Yeah, I just love it because it's... You love that it's...

Starting point is 00:47:02 Chaos. Or theoretically bad. Yeah, I love that it's... You love that it's bad. Chaos. Or theoretically bad. It's... Yeah, I love that it's... Number one, the NBA is just not your father's NBA anymore. It's not your NBA anymore. It's changed so quickly. But player empowerment era,

Starting point is 00:47:21 player movement has created parody, unlike anything we've ever seen, for sure, in the NBA. And they are turning into the NFL, to where when the playoff starts, you're not positive who's going to be in the final, let alone who's going to win it. Now, if Oklahoma City wins it, you will be able to point to that and say,

Starting point is 00:47:43 look, regular season really did matter. It meant everything because they have just dominated throughout the playoffs. They're winning these games at home by 20, 30 points every game. Yeah, it feels like they can win any game by 20 if they look, if they lock in defensively. But they're now gonna face the Pacers who seem to have a guy that is great with the X's and O's. That he is a master tactician. He is really headed to the Hall of Fame for sure as a coach, I think. Yeah. Even just taking this team to the finals would get him there. But that of course is Rick Carlisle, who we all love. Have a great spot that of course is Rick Carlisle, who we all love,

Starting point is 00:48:25 have a great spot in our heart for Rick Carlisle. I don't know. I think it's cool just because LeBron or Steph aren't playing. That they aren't playing. Yeah, I honestly just, it looks cool. It looks cool to see Shea and Tyrese Halliburton headlining a finals, Chet Holmgren.

Starting point is 00:48:46 I mean. I mean, their team is lame, for sure. The NBA is star power, though. Right, but you gotta have new ones at some point, and there is a concern that when your KD, LeBron, Steph generation goes away, those guys are old. Steph is old enough to be lobbying city councils to keep low-income housing away from him. Yeah, he's done that.

Starting point is 00:49:05 He will be retired soon, once you're doing that. So they've gotta have guys that you can bank on. And I don't know that you're ever gonna have them be the headline players if they play in the Midwest, but you gotta start churning this thing. Well, I mean, LeBron was, and it didn't matter where he played. But if you're that good.

Starting point is 00:49:24 Yeah. These guys aren't that good. They're not that good, and I think the LeBron was, and it didn't matter where he played. But if you're that good. These guys aren't that good. They're not that good, and I think the LeBron thing was even, it was added to by the fact he was in his hometown. Like, you know, I almost feel like if Halliburton were from Indianapolis, you know, you guys are probably about to tell me he is. But like, I feel like that'd be a big story.

Starting point is 00:49:41 But also, LeBron going to Miami Miami kind of changed the trajectory of things. And yeah, I think it's, they need, there's no more James Harden, Kevin Durant, you guys like that Curry, it's just, it's a different, they need a different generation. So I mean, I'm not like locked into it. Well, I mean, it might sound, yeah, it might sound good, but are you gonna be watching or do you care who wins?

Starting point is 00:50:08 I don't. I care in the sense that I'd like to see Carlisle do it. I care in the sense that in addition to that, I would like to see the Thunder fans never win a title. Yes, I hate the Thunder. I do not like the fact that Shay won the MVP. That's ridiculous. Just basically because Luca didn't win it last year.

Starting point is 00:50:27 Yeah, and the fans in Oklahoma City didn't ask for this, but I could never fuck with them because of the Sonics. Seattle should have a team. The Sonics were a strong, proud fan base, of which I was a part of when I was very young. And I just, I don't know, the way that all went down, the guys involved in it, including the one who suicided himself, it's just a shady situation.

Starting point is 00:50:53 And I think that they have, you know, their ownership's kinda shitty, but their GM's a genius and their fans are very passionate. Do you like that Halliburton thought he won the MVP? Did you see that video? That was like a straight up I think you should leave sketch. They were announcing who won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, which is a weird MVP to give. You should probably give it for the whole playoff run more than just the finals, but they do it for just

Starting point is 00:51:21 the finals. And it generally goes to the right person. I don't know, do you think it did here? I don't know. Siakam? Siakam ended up winning the MVP. I heard it was only voted on by nine people. So that creates, could create some problems as far as. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't really care,

Starting point is 00:51:42 but I thought the video was funny. The video was funny. He's very online. He tweets a lot. So he's tweeting. And he was also, you know, we're two months removed from that athletic survey, where he was, like, not unanimously, but overwhelmingly voted on by the players, his peers,

Starting point is 00:52:01 as the most overrated player in the league. Guys hate him. Who? Hallibur league. Guys hate him. Who? Halliburton. Oh, wow. His dad's doing whatever his dad's doing. Oh, was that his dad against Giannis? Yeah, he does it all the time.

Starting point is 00:52:14 Not to that degree, but his dad's a pain in the dick, big time. So now you want me not to root for them. Well, your other option is Oklahoma City. Now I have to root for them. Yeah, I don't know. I was rooting for Brunson too, you know? Sure.

Starting point is 00:52:28 Would like to see that. But, kind of on the same, I'm happy to see New York upset. That's all this is. That's satisfying. I have nothing to be joyful about other than Shoddy as a sports fan. So just, I'm running on others misery right now. The NHL. It's healthy.

Starting point is 00:52:47 The Stanley Cup is going to happen, we understand. And I saw this note. I don't know if this is odd or not, but it is a note I saw online that for the 45th consecutive year, did you see this one? There will be a Jaumeir Jaeger teammate playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. I did, now that you say that. That's insane.

Starting point is 00:53:16 So Jaeger played for 24 years. So some of the early guys, I'm sure, were guys who had already been in the finals previously, you know, when he's a rookie in his first few years. 64. And then for his last few, yeah, they're still guys on rosters who have played with Jagger. Hell, did Jamie Ben play with Jagger? 100%. Was he on the stars at that time? Yeah. Because he played 24 years, Pittsburgh, Rangers,

Starting point is 00:53:50 Capitals, Florida, the Devils, the Flyers, the Stars, Calgary, Boston, in his 24 year career. I remember when he was here, I loved him. Yeah, you had fun with him. Like he was cool. Yeah, you asked him about his nickname. He was real confused about that. I don't remember that. Puff Nuts.

Starting point is 00:54:05 Wow, how do you remember things? I don't know. It's Kim Spinn over there. He was an interesting guy. My other NHL note is. Look at this guy with all this hockey. Bad bit question mark. Okay.

Starting point is 00:54:18 This is an NHL slash NBA bit. I'll give you the audio. Brandon Williams, you know who that is? Of...uh... Of basketball. The Mavericks point guard? Yeah, and Max Christie. Oh.

Starting point is 00:54:36 The winning piece in the trade. Look, he's averaged 15 points a game, four games in a row. Is this trade that bad? I mean, it's notaged 15 points a game, four games in a row. Is this trade that bad? I mean, it's, and all the upside, imagine where- Hurt people hurt people.

Starting point is 00:54:54 He could, he could average like, what if he averaged 17 points? It's pride month. Don't you remember the first week after a breakup, you're clinically insane. That was Mavs fans telling us that. Well. Yeah man, it's pretty, probably better, you know? This fat Slovenian just complained about everything. I mean, at least this guy's happy to be here.

Starting point is 00:55:16 Look at him getting back on defense. Just let it go. I'll never let it go. So Brandon Williams and Max Christie are hanging out. I'm gonna go back to Andrew Plum's house and we're just going to talk about Luca this afternoon. Anyway, they were mic'd up in game five of the Western Conference Final between the Oilers and the Stars. Connor McDavid is cold. It's like the uh, Thunder and Vestia.

Starting point is 00:55:45 Yeah, you can argue he needs to go to the bathroom. Like when Rain Gretzky came in? No, like top five all the time. I'm sweating up. Okay, here's not as fast-forwarded again. I'm gonna go here. Yeah, boom. Bro, how is he so fat? Like he was born, bro.

Starting point is 00:56:02 That hurt in the soul a little bit. Yeah, it hurt a little bit, I ain't gonna lie. Okay, so this is not a new bit. No, it's not, it's a bit that we're doing quite often now. Hey! It actually started. What if we take two black guys. Okay, so do you guys know? And we'll put them in a hockey game,

Starting point is 00:56:19 and we'll mic them up, and we'll just, that'll be funny. I don't think it's that funny at all. I think they're taking three hours of audio and like finding that and being like, oh my God, this is wild, let's put this out there. Bad bit. Okay, so this is, if you remember, some years ago there was a guy, black guy, who went to his first

Starting point is 00:56:41 like St. Louis Blues game, his name is Tony, and he started tweeting about it, his first game, and it went real viral. He was real over the top, funny black guys, they let him do this? It was hilarious. He ended up on the Today Show, and he ended up becoming a huge hockey fan.

Starting point is 00:57:02 He's into hockey, knows hockey, this is a decade ago. But you've seen the other teams start to do this, right? The Stars game that I was at with Travis Gafford, across from us there were two black guys with like four or five model looking ladies on the front row, goal line even. And behind them was Bang Guy, fresh out of the box for a couple DUIs. And he was tweeting about it like,

Starting point is 00:57:32 oh, who are these people in front of me? Seventh round pick. And it turns out it was the Cowboys second and seventh round pick. The problem was one of the dudes is like 6'8", and he's sitting on the top of his chair the whole time. On the top? Like I thought he was doing it. And they're on the glass anyway? Travis would sit on a chair when everyone was

Starting point is 00:57:55 standing. Because he's so tall. Because he's like 6'8 so his sitting is the same as everyone else is standing but the Cowboys defensive lineman they picked is sitting on top of his chair and he's huge. And just during the game, not even. And the Stars put out a video of them like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, just, yeah, that's the bit now. I think Trayvon did it a couple years ago. Yeah. But I did enjoy when our, not a friend, but our. Get to it.

Starting point is 00:58:34 I don't know what you would call him. Xavier Leigh Gett did it. Oh yeah, I saw that. And that was hilarious. He did it at a Hurricanes game. I mean, it's funny, but it's the same bit just with a funnier accent. Like, oh, that girl accent Oh that girl managed going goals

Starting point is 00:58:49 Skate Hey come on, Kains! Yeah yeah yeah, what a boy. Kains the crazy! Right in front of my boy. Right in front of my boy. He's just... Black Boomhauer. I love it. No, he's great! I think it's funny. But the problem is, like Dan is pointing out, everyone is doing it,

Starting point is 00:59:20 and now it feels weird. Well, yeah. At least he has a personality. Max Christie doesn't. Yeah. Maybe that's the reason. No, he's focused on ball, bro. Sure. He's thinking about going back to practice.

Starting point is 00:59:33 The other sports note I had was just that it's kind of a today in Twitter as well. That the TNT crew is no longer gonna do their thing from the TNT crew is no longer going to do their thing from the TNT studios, they will... Well, I should take that back, right? I think they're going to still emanate out of the same studios, but it's going to air on ESPN now. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:59 So there's a lot of nostalgia tweets about, oh, your favorite moment of the TNT crew or whatever. I don't know if you have any you want to play. Not now right? Huh? Not right now right? Yeah we're gonna compile some. Oh yeah but we got yeah okay. Oh okay. Jared. Oh is Jared standing by? I don't know if he's standing by but I don't want to launch her. Okay no but, but the point, I don't know if you want to play one, or if we're doing this in the future, the point is they're not going, and it's still going to be the same group. It's the same show, same camera, same people. It is on a different platform.

Starting point is 01:00:37 The marquee at the bottom will be different. Paycheck is different. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why this is. Certainly there are questions like, are they going to let them go as long as they want into the night? Because they got Scott Van Pelt is a pretty, actually it's a, that's probably the best, one of the best things ESPN has going. Without a doubt. Like their halftime shows, pregame shows, postgame shows kind of suck across the board for all sports. Yeah. But Scott van Pelt, which I really questioned the move

Starting point is 01:01:06 when they did it, like they're trying to kind of get younger and hipper and they got Scott van Pelt to do so. It was like, really? But that's been a good show. I like that. Let's play one. This was funny because Chuck was ripping ESPN. He and Russell Westbrook never really acknowledged each other.

Starting point is 01:01:25 Because they don't like each other. No handshakes before or after the game or any of that stuff. Who do you know of people they don't like, Ernie? 122. I only acknowledge Kenny because we work together. 122 to 96. They didn't sit next to each other. No, I would not pick them.

Starting point is 01:01:39 Oh my goodness. So, uh, Curry was 21, Durant 39, Clintus... Why don't you go to ESPN and then I can not talk to you? That ain't gonna work me like a dog and not be me. That's... Four straight wins for Golden State. Wait, wait, wait. Why wouldn't you go to ESPN? I don't... Wait, why wouldn't you go to ESPN?

Starting point is 01:02:00 That ain't gonna work me like a dog and not be me. Oh, my God. I'm just saying. The things that happen on this show... that's the thing maybe like at15 in the morning. That's enough of that, but. That's the thing. Maybe like at one in the morning is when they would get a little more loopy sometimes. Yeah. So are we gonna still get that? No.

Starting point is 01:02:35 Let them go as long as they want or are they gonna have a hard half hour out or something like that? Yeah, and I heard Bill Simmons bitching about this too because he was like, ESPN will kill this show. He's doing a little bit of his own, the reason I didn't work out at ESPN was because their producing sucks.

Starting point is 01:02:50 But he may be right that he's like, ESPN are way more by the book. You got this much time to do this and this and this and this, whereas the team- But they're also now just buying a show. Right, that's the whole- And they also are in the new age of ESPN where they also wouldn't have done

Starting point is 01:03:06 McAfee back in. That's true. In Bill Simmons day. And they pretty much say, do your show McAfee. Including booking people who are going to rip people that work at ESPN. So it's a new day. That's why I don't know that it's warranted all the, just the farewell and the nostalgia about inside the NBA. When. Yeah, it's the end of an era. Also, see you guys on Monday. Right? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:35 It's just a different, yeah. Let's bring on Jared. I have. Is he here? Yeah, I have one NBA TNT related thing. I'm gonna make Jared weigh in on. He's African-American. Okay. What do you feel about that South African descent? Oh, you get to count it? No. Okay, he looks like this. You'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Jared Sandler joins us now. Brought to us by Lone Star Beer. You know, at the ballpark. What do they call the ballpark now? The gilf? At the gilf. Is that an official nickname of the ballpark what do they call the ballpark now? The Guilf. At the Guilf.

Starting point is 01:04:06 Is that an official nickname of the ballpark? I don't believe it's it's official it's not up there with TATOS or whatever happened this offseason or right before the season. Let's see Lone Star available at the at Lone Star excuse me Lone Star field, Globe Life Field in section 101 right is the national the gate the national beer of Texas baseball so we want you to celebrate they're 140 they have an updated their copy it's 141 years of brewing in Texas now don't't forget Lone Star Light, Jared, which I know you would do if I didn't remind you.

Starting point is 01:04:49 And don't forget that they have awesome merch. They really do. They're on their website. I'm a big fan. LoneStarBeer.com, use the code DUMBZONE21. Not only will you get 21% off merchandise, like this cool hat that I'm wearing, that the ladies love But we will also get a little love from that because they'll know that hey

Starting point is 01:05:11 Oh, you went there for from the dumb zone. We think this advertising is working So once you load up on merch for the boys down at the house. Everybody wins big bye. They're great shirts Loan star beer comm code is dumbzone21. All right, so my first question for Jared. Jared Sandler. If you want to put that image up there, both of, I guess, Jared and the Sager thing. So, Craig Sager. Craig Sager, maybe the founding member of Kemp's spin.

Starting point is 01:05:48 Craig Seger, largely viewed by everyone in sports media as just a gentle soul. Look at his wacky suits, folks. He's interviewing pop and isn't that a fun dynamic? He's the jester of the court with his wacky suits, this guy. Then, you know, some things came out when he got like a pretty aggressive form of leukemia. And he needed some stem cells and like a bone marrow transplant, which is very, very painful.

Starting point is 01:06:10 And it's typically gotta be a member of your family, which his son obliged, his son, I believe Craig Jr. Only to a few months later, find out that he had been left out of the updated version of Craig Sager's will, along with his sister Casey, as everything was now being left to the bulls dancer that he left his mom for. And so that woman's name is Stacey Sager.

Starting point is 01:06:37 And so this website, this shoe website, posted as TNT and the NBA come to an end, Stacey Sager, daughter of the late Craig Sager, reveals he collected every Mike flag from his career. The photo of Craig Sager and the photo of his Mike flags, that is actually a dope ass collection. Like look at those, dude, that is TV history of the back half of the 20th century there.

Starting point is 01:07:00 The only problem is, as his daughter had to point out, his daughter didn't post that photo, his second wife that he left his entire family for. Daughter aged. Daughter aged. Daughter aged. So as a member of the sports media, are you allowed to at least have say,

Starting point is 01:07:20 maybe neutral on Craig Sager, maybe neutral. Are you asking Jerry? Are you asking Jared? Are you asking me? Yeah, we can say whatever we want. That's actually our motto here. My thoughts on Craig Sager's family dynamic? Is that what you're asking me? Sure.

Starting point is 01:07:38 Is the cancer force field strong enough with this one? It did seem like it was pretty strong. I'll say when his son came out with all this, I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point.

Starting point is 01:07:50 I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point.

Starting point is 01:07:58 I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. of Craig Sader Sager because I was thinking I didn't think he his kids really thought too highly of them They don't and it's sad because he's dead

Starting point is 01:08:08 No, I mean, maybe I don't know. It's bad guy. What no no I yeah, that's right Like there's no some of these some of these situations can be rectified at some point like you guys I think Did was it I I heard the tail end of that clip of Russell. I think it was Russell Westbrook and maybe KD or someone. And it's like those two guys hated each other. It seemed like for a time, but they're alive and they can make it work eventually. Maybe, I don't know. But Frank Sager's kids are going to forever like hate their dad, right? Like that kind of sucks. I feel badly for them. What are you do?

Starting point is 01:08:47 Would you you know you could do knowing? some trivia oh Yeah, let's we're gonna start off with trivia this week that way We can give the answer at the end and we're gonna jump right into it here Jared Sandler every week. All right, We'll give a trivia question right here. And for the live participant in our show, you can, what, you got to chime in on the chat. Yeah, yeah, correct answer in the chat. At YouTube.

Starting point is 01:09:18 And you get a pair of tickets to an upcoming Ranger game. Isn't that exciting? I think so. Yeah, I don't know who's supposed to answer. Well, I think Jared's on a little bit of a delay. I'll be honest with you guys. Are you in Tampa? I've got two questions. No, I leave today. We had some other medical things. So believe it or not.

Starting point is 01:09:37 Oh, look at this guy. Look at this guy. Always got a thing to make me look bad. Always got the force field. I asked him about it. I feel like I've gotten two questions already and I'm not clear. I wasn't clear if they were directed to me and I really wasn't clear the question. It's okay. I feel like I've already failed you guys. It's okay. We can still save this. Let's give away some tickets. Okay. All right. Do you guys want a Rangers trivia question or a major league baseball

Starting point is 01:09:57 trivia question? You're killing Dan, dude. You're killing. I know. All right. Rangers. Rangers. Rangers. Rangers. Jared, give us a trivia question. Then he asked us another. And I wore a shirt just for you today. I know I was waiting to comment on it, but I got asked a question by Jake and I wasn't sure how to answer it.

Starting point is 01:10:17 So just being honest, I noticed the shirt from the start. It's a USC baseball shirt. Did I give that to you or how did you get that? I got this from Deuce Robinson's grandfather who has told me, or he has just mailed me a Florida State baseball shirt because Deuce has left the program. So this is the last day I will wear this,

Starting point is 01:10:41 but I'm wearing it for you because I think USC is doing good in baseball now or no? Yeah, first time in a regional in 10 years. Talk about the ping of the bat. If they win tonight at 5 o'clock. That old ping of the bat, the smell of the aluminum. Yeah. Big game tonight against Oregon State.

Starting point is 01:10:58 All right, hey, there are five pitchers whose only career 200 strikeout season came in a Rangers uniform. Who are those five? Only career. So it's not that they only had one with the Rangers, that they only had one in their career and it came with the Rangers. Wow. So we can rule out Nolan Ryan. Yeah, that one's pretty. Correct. Okay, so they had exactly 200 strikeouts. That's a really weird anomaly, that you would have exactly 200 strikeouts in a year. At least 200 strikeouts. You're such an asshole. I'm not anything of the sort. My favorite one but... Okay so the five pitchers who had answer in the chat and Blake will inform us when we get that answer. Blake also has some audio, but before your audio,

Starting point is 01:11:47 I want to follow up on last week's show because we were talking about when John Radigan couldn't pronounce somebody's name and I couldn't find that audio. Of course, I found it like two minutes after the show and we thought this was funny. So far tonight, time for a Chevy game break. Let's check in with John Ratigan. Yeah, Dave, thanks very much. Pirates and Red Sox. Tom Brady got his stolen Super Bowl jersey back today. That is until Rob Gronkowski took off with it.

Starting point is 01:12:15 Brady with the tackle there and some on the field heavy hitting as well. Andrew Bendadini with the three run blast and the reigning Cy Young award winner Rick Porcelli. Okay yeah that's a that's a fun one because if you say an Italian word like that it just sounds right. Benedini! With the tackle there and some on the field heavy hitting as well.

Starting point is 01:12:41 Andrew Benedini with the three run blast. He was a rookie. Andrew Benentendi and I was in a real heavy fantasy league back then, I knew all the prospects. So yeah, we made fun of Radd's the next day because he didn't know who Andrew Benentendi was. Now, everybody knows who Andrew Benentendi is. Household name.

Starting point is 01:13:01 And that little stinger is meant to like, you're supposed to close during the, da da da da da, not start another story. Household mail and that little stinger is meant to like you're supposed to close during the day Start another story don't because you had too much gold with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski You guys Jared your comments on another broadcaster Alright Jared was asked to work in generic summer event. And he did wonderfully. Back at it again tonight. The rubber game of this three game series,

Starting point is 01:13:33 the Rangers and the Jays. And this is not just any generic summer event. Tonight's the return of Corey Seeger. It's a layup, but it's well done layup. Nice job. Nice job. Yes, thank you. But you had to work a little harder for Novi, yellow and Lee was this stretch and

Starting point is 01:13:54 so I don't I don't have a 10-second clip because it took you a lot of ground work to get there and But you got it in well done leftyy lats the righty kurt first pitch strike over the outside corner. Do you like how the baseball talk? Strike over the outside corner. Do you love me some old baseball announcing? Oh my God. Sometimes I kind of have to fish for these things

Starting point is 01:14:19 but as soon as I heard this I knew it was incoming. Strike over the outside corner. Earlier I was thinking about. Doesn't that just a sign for I'm about to take a wild ass candy I do it myself about strike of the outside corner you know earlier I was thinking about how certain positions have maybe a wealth of players from a certain part of the country or the world one Kirk a swing and a miss and I was thinking about Alejandro Suna being from Mexico and then thought about Alejandro Kirk and I was wondering you know how many

Starting point is 01:14:56 catchers have come from Mexico the answer is not many as a matter of fact according to stats how generic was that Jared it's matter of stats hey according to stats according to stats it's it's up to stats now or something but you will concede that that is maybe not the most effective way to communicate According to information putting the words my calculator Yeah, I when I said it I felt awkward So they need a better name so we're leading to no yellow somehow. Yeah, so

Starting point is 01:15:45 We well let's skip ahead a minute They need a better name. So we're leading to Noviello somehow? Yeah, so. God, I'm confused. Yeah, we'll get there. Well, let's skip ahead a minute. Off of Young's arm or maybe the heel of his glove on a short hop popped up and, well, it's a hit for Kirk. Then I was looking, how about this? Bridgewater, Massachusetts has produced a few catchers.

Starting point is 01:16:03 So remember, he started it with saying, you know I think a lot of catchers come from Mexico. Turns out according to stats and information, not true at all, but I'm gonna keep going. I never have like, just to be clear here, I never said I think a lot of catchers come from Mexico. Okay. Well.

Starting point is 01:16:18 I mean it's only been a minute and you still keep going away through that. He was just thinking about it. Yeah, he was just rambling about it. Yeah, he was thinking about it. It's a hit for Kirk. Then I was looking, how about this? Bridgewater Massachusetts has produced a few catchers like Mickey Cochran and former Red Sox minor leaguer Andrew Noviello.

Starting point is 01:16:39 Jesus. What a pull was that? Feel like a morphe. Have you guys ever seen the labyrinth? Like. Wasn't even a major leaguer? Did he say minor leaguer? No.

Starting point is 01:16:51 Dan, Dan, let me tell you. He had to start there. Yeah. I spent more time trying to figure out how to work in Noviello than maybe any other phrase or name in the last three years. Well, he'll love it. He he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player.

Starting point is 01:17:08 I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I'm not sure if he's a baseball player.

Starting point is 01:17:24 I'm not sure if he's a baseball player. I have, has played exactly 30 of those games. So the run differential split or the discrepancy is in the games that he hasn't played in, it's 2.7 runs per game. In the games he has played in, it's 3.9. You know, like, wow, that is a massive jump. Except 3.9 would still be bottom five in MLB because four and a half is the average. So with him back, like I guess I just want to know what you think a good version of this offense looks like in like a month. Because also I remember we talked about Babbip at the start of the year. It's like, well it's too early. The Rangers have the lowest

Starting point is 01:18:04 batting average on balls and play of any team, which sometimes indicates like you're getting bad luck. So I don't know what you think about all that, but I'm tired of watching zero and one run games. No, I listen to the, we're at a point of the season where I understand like fans, they don't really care about hearing about bad luck, right? Like, you know, at some point they just want people to produce. But yeah, I'll take it even a step further with the bad luck.

Starting point is 01:18:32 I mean, a barrel baseball by definition is a baseball that has hit 98 miles an hour between a certain range of launch angles. So it is, it is so specific. It's not about, well, you hit your ball 110 miles an hour in the air. I hit it on the ground and the discrepancies with the results based on those two inputs. This is a very specific type of batted ball with the idea that you know over a large sample everyone should have very similar results. Just looking at batting average the Rangers have the lowest batting average of major league baseball on on barreled baseballs.

Starting point is 01:19:09 Is that bad luck? Is that have something to do with the ballpark? You know, hitting balls maybe up the alleys or to center versus down the line? I don't know. And some of it's probably self inflicted at some point. I don't I don't I'm not sure it's some of that bad luck, not with the barrels. What is a good version of this offense look like? I mean, I think a good version of this offense is a top 10 offense in baseball. I think that's what a lot of people peg this offense being. And I think it's one that walks enough. I don't think that it's an offense that's ever

Starting point is 01:19:40 going to lead the league and walks for any large stretch of time, but it's an offense that's going to hit home runs. I mean, that's how this lineup was built. This lineup was built to mash the baseball. They had on opening day of the 10 guys who you thought could get regular playing time. They probably had eight guys who you legitimately believed could hit 20 home runs in a season as long as they were healthy. And probably the only reason they wouldn't hit 20 home runs in a season is if they weren't healthy for any period of time. And it just hasn't played out that way so

Starting point is 01:20:13 far. So I still think that this offense could turn and much like in 2023, all it takes is a 60 game stretch and you can win a division. I know that they lost out on the division by a game, but they were that close and for 102 games, they were a below 500 team. But for the first 60, they were 40 and 20 and that was enough to carry them. And this is a lineup that I think we thought going into the year was going to be streaky to some degree, but not, I mean, this, this isn't a lineup that's been streaky. It's a line of just hasn't been good. Uh, I think that, I think that there's still confidence that this lineup can hit its stride, but it's going to be based on the home run ball.

Starting point is 01:20:53 I mean, that's how this lineup was built, not to walk, not to work the count. It was built to hit the ball 400 feet, three or four times a game. Does the blame ever fall to Bochy? Like they already got rid of their hitting coach, but it's kind of like Bochy's. It feels like he's too. Just too much. Robbys. Yeah, too much aura around Bochy. You could, you could never blame him.

Starting point is 01:21:21 So, well, I guess my, my, my response to that, my question back would be, like, what are you blaming him for? Just because he's in that role and so, all right, you got to blame someone. Or is there something that you can point to and say, hey, he's got his hands on this, this is his fault? No, I'm just because he's the manager of a team and when teams can continually can't do something well, eventually the manager gets run. But I can't imagine that it could be a during the season firing for Bruce Bochy.

Starting point is 01:21:57 I don't think that would ever happen. I do think very likely he'd be gone after the year though. I agree with you that I don't think, I don't think anyone, first of all, internally, I don't think anyone's blaming him. You know, even if you want to get so granular, like I don't know, you know, I don't know that he hired the hitting coaches, like, you know, Donnie Ecker came before him, you know, so if you want to even maybe say, well, is he the guy who hired these guys? I don't know that he hired them.

Starting point is 01:22:27 I'm not sure the process of hiring Justin Veely, although I don't think it's necessarily even fair to put blame on Justin Veely, right? Because at the end of the day, I think it's, you know, it falls on the players largely. But yeah, now, Dan, I'll tell you, his contract's up after this year. And I think there were a lot of people when the season started who thought this is not going to be his last year. I don't foresee a scenario in which the Rangers do not want Bruce Bochy back. But I do wonder, you know, I think it's fair to wonder whether or not Bruce Bochy decides

Starting point is 01:23:01 he wants to come back. But even with the struggles offensively, Dan, I don't, if Bruce Bochy at he wants to come back. But even with the struggles offensively, Dan, if Bruce Bochy at the end of the year says, I wanna come back, Bruce Bochy is gonna be this team's manager, even if this offense doesn't ever really turn a corner. So I don't foresee him getting any level of the blame. He hasn't lost the clubhouse by any means,

Starting point is 01:23:21 those guys still love him. There's nothing to me that it's like, hey, maybe Bruce Bochy's time here is numbered. If he does not come back, I would imagine it's his call and not the Rangers. Have they tried torpedo bats? Some players have. I know Jock Peterson did earlier in the year. They didn't really love the feel of it.

Starting point is 01:23:40 I think maybe Kyle Higashioka tried it a little bit. Maybe Josh Smith, but a lot of it, you know, Marcus Simeon, I don't think had much interest. I know Corey Seeger kind of likes his bats the way they are. Maybe White Lankford tried it as well. There are few guys who I think like at points maybe gave it a shot. But I don't know that any any of our guys have like taken to it and they they feel comfortable or like it

Starting point is 01:24:06 to the point where they wanna use it in place of their bats. And one of the things that didn't maybe get characterized with the torpedo bats accurately is a lot of these guys have bats that are within the rules kind of tailored to their liking. Now it might not be something as noticeable as the shape of it with the barrel

Starting point is 01:24:25 placement, but you know these guys, they're not just going to like your local sporting goods store and picking up a wooden bat. So like a lot of these guys have had hours of conversations with bat makers and testing maybe even in a lab to determine like the bats that they like. And so you know, a lot of baseball players are creatures of habit. So it's not, I don't think it's like they're all swinging the same bat, you know, or the torpedo bat. I think they all kind of have the bats that they like already. And so that's why I don't think any of the Rangers players have decided to, to make the switch.

Starting point is 01:24:57 Well, that really seems like testing in a lab that means that it makes it scary, the white coats and everything. Oh, it's just graph speakers. Yeah beakers sure some reason A girl that's way too hot to work there. Yeah. Yeah the whole science setup Probably got a computer. Yeah got a computer and everything. So what about that trivia then? Oh Before we get to that trivia answer because it's that's the end right? speaking of you mentioned Jock Peterson. I had a little piece of trivia that sometime during the year, maybe you could bring this up to Jock Peterson.

Starting point is 01:25:34 Okay? Okay. I got this from, I'm a free subscriber to Craig Calceterra. Yeah. He has a, it's not Substack, he writes, I don't know how I came across this guy. Oh no, he's been in the game for a long time. But he writes something called Cup of Coffee.

Starting point is 01:25:52 Yeah, he'll definitely tell you, don't blame me, I voted for the email lady. Oh no, he's definitely, he'll get real political at the end of his thing, but he's really hardcore baseball guy across the league. And I should probably start paying for the everyday thing, but he's really hardcore baseball guy across the league. And I should probably start paying for the everyday thing, but I read his free one every Thursday. And he got an email that said, I can't imagine anyone's ever done this, but I wonder who

Starting point is 01:26:16 is closest to hitting for MLB's water cycle, which would be a home run into the Allegheny River, Crisper, McCovey Cove, the pool in Arizona, and the fountain in Kansas City. That is sick. So, That's pretty awesome. Craig Calceterra seems to be a Jared Sandler type. He loves his trivia.

Starting point is 01:26:42 And he will spend way too much time researching it. That seems like your bit, right Jared? You'll spend lots of time, just like you spend a ton of time trying to work in the word Noviello. Andrew Noviello, yeah. So he says, it seems like no one has done it. Nine people have done it at three of the four parks. Two of them are still active, Paul Goldschmidt and Jock Peterson. Goldschmidt hasn't hit the fountains in Kansas City. Peterson has not hit the pool in Arizona. So I'm surprised by that because he played there. Well it says the

Starting point is 01:27:27 Rangers will next play in Arizona September 1st through September 3rd. So put that in your palm pilot so that you can mark that so you can talk to Jock Peterson about that so he knows that this important thing. Yeah. Let's just. John Peterson, USC baseball commit. I gave him a golf cart ride while I was there and clearly that drove him away. Look how everything goes full circle here. I am certainly wishing both John Peterson and the Rangers offense as a whole the best but I view this as a potentially rosy projection

Starting point is 01:28:08 that he's able to talk to Jock Peterson on August 11th. I'm just saying, I feel like- Wait, what's August? You mean September 1st? Yeah. Oh, it says August 11th is home, Arizona. Okay, yeah, road. Yeah, I don't know, you know. I don't know. I can talk to him tomorrow.

Starting point is 01:28:28 Doesn't have to be on August 11th, right? Yeah, that's a good point. I just don't know if he'll make the trip. Who knows? We've got a lot of guys coming up. Got it. Can I ask, are you thinking... I mean, they're not DFAing him.

Starting point is 01:28:40 He's got a $38 million contract over two years. It's such a tough... Are you thinking they might... I feel like if Evan Carter is good to go He's got like a $38 million contract over two years. It's such a tough. I feel like if Evan Carter is good to go and they have basically a fully healthy team offensively, they have to figure out a way to get Peterson out of the lineup. All right. We'll worry about that later. Right now, Jared Sandler is going to give us our answer.

Starting point is 01:29:03 Do you guys want any more on Craig Sager? Oh, what do you got? Well, I was going to ask you, the sports science guy died. I know your reaction to that. Yeah, that's so sad. John Brinkes. Yeah. How do you feel about Bojangles fried chicken?

Starting point is 01:29:16 Hey, let me tell you something. First time I went to Clemson for a game, had some Bojangles the next morning. It was awesome. Score out of 10. Six point nine for sure. Six point. Oh, there we go. Yeah, up here. The new intern, Henry,

Starting point is 01:29:35 likes to an oral at the same time as someone else. We've covered a lot of ground before. OK, you got to 200 and it was only with the Rangers. I know they had one career, 200 or more strikeout season and it happened to be in a Rangers uniform. And I'll tell you, none of these players are like career Rangers who only did it one. They all played for other teams and all had some level of success with other teams. So I would guess like my first couple would be like Derek Holland and CJ Wilson, like who did well here and then went elsewhere. And we're decent strikeout guys.

Starting point is 01:30:15 So Derek Holland is no, but CJ Wilson is correct. He's one of the five. All right. Well, thanks everybody. That's all I got. You ready? I'll tell you two guys did it. Two guys did it in 2019. So the Rangers were playing in 2019. You're talking about some down times. Yeah. It was the first year of Chris Woodward. Ah, they probably got a hat well no He didn't care about that. I don't know. I can't I can't even begin to help you. Yeah, go ahead. Who do we got? dude, all right so in 2019 Mike Miner and Lance Lin ah

Starting point is 01:30:59 CJ right then remember Mike do you guys remember the chem spin on Mike Miner's to under strikeout? Not until you just said it. I completely forgot about Mike. Do you guys remember the Kemp spin on Mike Miner's 200 strikeout? Not until you just said it I completely forgot about that. Yes Go ahead. He let a foul ball drop so he could get to 2000 200 strikeouts. Well Jose Trevino kind of let a foul ball drop like a pop-up right between Where Mike Miner and Jose Trevino were in his last start of the year? It clearly let it drives against the Red Sox so he could try for a 200 strikeout and he ended up getting it. Alex Cora was not very happy about it and there was a lot of conversation at the end of a pretty crappy ranger season or last couple months, whether or not that was ethical or not.

Starting point is 01:31:37 I remember that because what he was doing, we just want to play the game the right way. We miscommunicated out there. It was like, no, you can't go. You know what though, baseball history is full of that. Oh my God, the number of dudes who wouldn't go to the plate for like two weeks because they were sitting at 300. Ty Cobb would. Seriously, that's like the whole. Yeah, Ty Cobb would be leading the league

Starting point is 01:31:58 and just stop playing the last four games of the season. I'm good. Whereas, you know, famously like Ted Williams was leading, you know, but would. Would, yeah. Like certain guys would play, but baseball, especially late season, out of contention baseball,

Starting point is 01:32:17 that's where all the bits happen. That's where a guy plays nine positions in one game. They get a little fella out there, maybe. Eddie Goodell, yes. That's where Eddie Goodell got out there. Alright, Lance Lynn, Mike Miner, CJ Wilson, who else? Uh, what about like Kevin Millwood? Bobby Witt? Oh, Bobby Witt.

Starting point is 01:32:35 Sorry, I thought... No, Kevin Millwood was a strikeout pitcher before he got here, I think. I didn't know how much, right? So go ahead. The last guy did it in 1987. You don't know about Kevin Millwood? much right so good the last 1987 1987 yeah 87 yeah I can't help you wait for a long time well I wouldn't say this guy's got a bit sidearm sinker is there a bit here that we can think of oh It's got a bit What was that guy's name or something? What was that guy's name you got the guy who ran that guy's head over with a motorcycle?

Starting point is 01:33:14 That's kind of a bit Go ahead That was a Yeah, that was really trying to shoehorn that bush, because you know that he wasn't around in 1987. All right. Right now, give the five players there you just so we can we can cut this up and Charlie. That's a great one. OK. Charlie, Bobby, with C.J.

Starting point is 01:33:35 Wilson, Mike Miner, Lancelin. Not Craig Sager. What a fun time. All right, Jared, good times, man. Man, can I tell you something? Jimmy asked me to rank Bojangles vital rank my contributions today. It would be like a negative five. No, come on.

Starting point is 01:33:52 We got you. You're a bad. You were going to bat for Craig Sager saying he's a great dad and all that. Positive. We'll clip this up. We'll be good. According to our stats, you did great. Kevin Millwood never had a 200 strikeout season. Interesting. I'll be good. According to our stats, you did great. Kevin Millwood never had a 200 strikeout season.

Starting point is 01:34:07 Interesting. I'll be damned. Let me know when I need to work in. All those Millheads out there fired up right now. Yeah, only thing I want you to work in is while you're in Washington, I need you to somehow talk about the place to see and be seen. Yes, dude.

Starting point is 01:34:26 Like Norm once did when he was talking to Pat Summerall. And then actually they were in Jacksonville. So if you can somehow work in see and be seen and the word Jacksonville into the same one minute. Okay. In the same one minute. Yeah. Because you don't get the whole game to do this.

Starting point is 01:34:46 Cause you're going to Washington, aren't you Pat? Yeah. Going to Washington. Maybe you'll see majority whip Tom Emmer among other celebrities. All right, we gotta go. See you Jared. Bye Jared.

Did they not do like one I'm not sure let's see okay. It was off in 2008 2009, so I guess that was the last thing Dude, you'd love it. You really would I

Starting point is 01:39:16 Feel like you should have watched it right when you got here Would have explained a lot It feels very oh my my God. North Texas. Yeah, just like the outside of the Metroplex portion and thinking of Dallas as like, basically it might as well be London. It's a show in Hazlitt. Yeah. Yeah, but it is.

Starting point is 01:39:35 Yeah, it's so good. One of my favorite lines was, Bobby asked if he can put a gun rack on his bike and Hank goes, Bobby, if you weren't my son son I'd hug you right now. It's so good. Alright I'm gonna put it on my TV show list. I feel like you'll blow through it,

Starting point is 01:39:51 the wife would probably dig it. But yeah I do worry about this. Ooh if the wife will watch it then I'm really in. John Redcorn was a player for sure. The thought was that he was always having sex with. Boom Hauer's wife. Boom Hauer's wife. I don't believe it was a thought.

Starting point is 01:40:05 I think very clearly in the show. He had a son. Yeah. Yes. Joseph. Also appeared in Parks and Rec. Chief Ken Hotate. If there was a native story,

Starting point is 01:40:20 I imagine this guy was the guy. And then also the death of sports science host, John Brankus. So the King and Hill guy died from a shooting? You said that? You know what, I don't think I did say that. I think it was, yeah, there was a shooting in San Antonio. Oh no.

Starting point is 01:40:38 Yes, oh no. Really, really makes you think. If it can be John Redcorn. It can be any of us. Did you watch sports science then? Was that big in your, like you remember like FS1 was popular and there was. Just a little bit, not a ton. That wasn't a.

Starting point is 01:40:56 Were you really stoked on it? I mean, you know, it's college, post college era where it's like, whoa bro. Can three linemen push more than an elephant? I mean, you know, it's college, post-college era where it's like, whoa, bro. Can three linemen push more than an elephant? I have wondered that. We're gonna find out.

Starting point is 01:41:12 I mean, dude, yeah, I'm 23, 24 when it came out. It was tailor-made for me. But yeah, that ran for three seasons. You into it? I definitely remember watching it and then trying to recreate certain events that happened and what percentage chance that had. And then the one that stuck out to me the most was does having sex before a game help or hurt you?

Starting point is 01:41:40 I was really into that episode. That is interesting. That was a big one with the coaches. You ever heard Mike Lerven's stance on that? No. He said, I would never have sex before, like the day of a game, except if it was an E. Anne. Someone was like, what's an E. Anne?

Starting point is 01:41:54 And he was like, Caucasian, Colombian. That's good, yeah, we were always warned against that. Well that's the old boxing bit, right? Your legs. Yeah, we were always warned against that. Well, that's the old boxing bit, right? Your legs. Yeah. Boy, I think you guys are doing something different. Because then I heard about this my whole life, it feels like. Some marathon runner was like, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:42:21 The best time. You should have sex right before because of blah, blah, blah. How hard are y'all coming? Yeah, no. You're like, the best time, you should have sex right before because of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. How hard are y'all coming? Yeah, no, you're like 17. I'm like, I don't think it's gonna stop me. What I'm doing will not affect my route running. I promise you.

Starting point is 01:42:34 But you talk about trying to recreate stuff and do the percentage of that happening. Did you guys see the video of the softball pitcher who threw a pitch and then the catcher is like, ah! Like something got in her eye as she caught the ball. Did you guys see this? It's incredible. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:42:53 It's so, the softball pitcher throws a pitch, they show a slow motion replay of it. Cause now even softball has like the best slow motion replay. Sure. Yes. Did you see it? I didn't see this. Okay, so the girl flings the pitch at the same time, you know, you're kicking your back foot

Starting point is 01:43:08 off the mound or whatever. That back foot kicked up some dirt, clumps of dirt and mud. And one of these clumps flew up towards the hitter. And right in the middle, like they showed the slow motion, the ball hits that little clump of dirt. And then that propelled it into the catcher's eye. It's incredible.

Starting point is 01:43:34 Just the slow motion of that and the odds of that happening. Oh my god. It's the lady version of Randy John. It really does look like that in Sword World. Yeah. Boy, if the bird. Yeah. Yeah. Boy, if the bird happened with today's technology. Oh my god, that would be fantastic.

Starting point is 01:43:50 HD, yeah. Yeah. Get Mythbusters on that one. Immediately the bird has a shit coin. Yeah. Did they do that? I bet this guy did the Randy Johnson thing. I'm sure he did.

Starting point is 01:44:03 Yeah. Oh, that's funny. I remember they did one like Megatron, like it was him or Ocho Cinko about his catch radius. Yeah. So they would do all these cameras on them and have them jump in different directions. And they were like,

Starting point is 01:44:14 and we can throw a ball within 18 yards of Megatron. And he was down with it. It was cool. That's awesome. It was cool. Well, he killed himself. Yeah. Oh. Oh. He was cool. Well, he killed himself. Yeah. Oh.

Starting point is 01:44:25 Oh. He was testing the science behind a... Well, you never know, guy. How old is he? 50s? Yeah, not old. 50s. That's not too old.

Starting point is 01:44:35 Yeah. But I always think about that because I do the, died on this day and whatever, you know, the today in history. And you'll see a lot of guys like, yeah, a lot of suicides. In their 60s, and you're like, well, what if he got cancer?

Starting point is 01:44:48 What if something's going wrong, like, physically, and you just don't know about it? And he's just like, look, had a great life. I was a guitarist for a well-known band or something. So let's kill myself now. Yeah. Once you get into the 60s, and really any age terminal illness, you don't know.

Starting point is 01:45:03 But this dude had been depressed for some time. He was 54 he told a story that was going you know making the rounds this weekend he was on a Marcellus Wiley his show a couple years ago and told a story about how he was trying to hang himself and his dog saved him. Like the dog basically disabled the the contraption. Is it this time he outsmarted that dog? I guess so or maybe he like just fed the dog maybe and the dog's distracted or something but listen there is irony in a guy who's like what would happen if hanging himself? And he hung himself?

Starting point is 01:45:48 At least in that case, he did. Or it was him too. It's kind of the ultimate experiment, as they say. I just don't know. No one says that. I don't know if I'd wanna do the hanging yourself. I walked in on a guy hanging himself one time. And I remember I made eye contact with him

Starting point is 01:46:05 and he was standing on top of a thing with a rope around his neck and an officer from outside was like, hey, did you find him? And I was like, yeah, is he okay? And I was like, kinda? And then as he's looking at me, he kicks out and then he had tied himself to a light fixture on his porch. No good.

Starting point is 01:46:25 And so it just hit the ground, and now you're just with like a sad dusty guy. Yeah. Come here, buddy. And do you have to, like, does he get arrested for attempted suicide? I don't think you get arrested. You get like, either you can go to a hospital

Starting point is 01:46:36 and they have psych wards and things, or the police can take you directly to like Green Oaks or something. The loony bin. Yeah, you're going to jail now. Oaks or something. The loony bin. Yeah, you're going to jail now. Yeah, you see, you thought you were sad earlier. Ha ha ha ha.

Starting point is 01:46:52 Gonna have a ham sandwich and a salt. Yeah. Yeah, it's sad, it's a sad story. What if he discovered something, and somebody wanted him dead? Ha ha ha. No, actually the tush push can be stopped look we ran numbers That's true. Yeah, what if John Brink is got too close to the tush push solution. Oh no. Yeah

Starting point is 01:47:19 Yeah Caitlin Clark actually did help the WNBA look at look at the numbers Yeah. Now, Caitlin Clark actually did help the WNBA. Look at the numbers. Hey, all Angel Reese, man. That has been great today in Twitter. Holy shit, man. What do you mean?

Starting point is 01:47:32 There's a group of guys who have like, they work for a gambling company. And their promo content right now is them live streaming themselves betting Miss on Angel Reese's first attempt at every game. And there's like, they're like 80% right. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:47:49 They hit six in a row out of the gate. Yeah. And they're like, it's the most hype, it's the most exciting watch in sports history for me right now. And she's just out of control driving to the lane. Seven pivots into a post move. Like I'm going up and under, I'm drop stepping,

Starting point is 01:48:02 I'm back around. Like you can't believe the internet, but I do love the Compilations of her you know for rebounds or lowlights Yeah, yeah, but that's also how you stack rebound so like yeah somebody goes through and looks at her her like original her gold star rebounds, I guess and it's half as much but Anyway, they call them gold star rebounds? Well we learned about gold star. I know gold star lesbian.

Starting point is 01:48:29 We learned gold star gay from Steve Noviello. Okay. So I needed to come up with a term for like a clean rebound. Yeah. Typically they're just called rebounds but when you have a player who half of them are off her own misses we have to. Now I have a question here from a news production

Starting point is 01:48:46 standpoint. If I had another story about suicide, would I do it now and sort of bundle the suicide stories or would I come back to it? What do you think? I mean is it a good ender? Is it as funny as that last one? Cause we really had a good time with that other one.

Starting point is 01:49:05 Yeah, we did. I'm actually gonna say this one's funnier. Okay. Geez. But I'm gonna do it right now. So we had the death of a, apparently a guy who's a bit of a legend in some circles in Texas. He's referred to as King George. George Coulomb.

Starting point is 01:49:20 C-O-U-L-A-M. King George. He is the founder of the Texas Renaissance Festival. Hell yeah. Scarborough Fair. So this guy ran Scarborough Fair for 50 years and at 87 years old decided I've had enough henna tattoo,

Starting point is 01:49:47 funnel cake. Yeah, like you were saying earlier, 87, strange age. Extremely strange, and everyone talks about this guy just loved life. He loved Scarborough Fair. Boy, a really weird bio on his website, georgecoulum.com. What do you got? I'm just looking at news articles. georgecoulum.com. What do you got? I'm just looking at news articles. georgecoulum.com. George Coulum is a healthy, 6'2", 173 pound,

Starting point is 01:50:13 86 year old, sexually active, That's awesome. Caucasian male entrepreneur. This is a Tinder profile? This is his website. Well you guys think like I'm over six foot, I'm white, and I still bone. I want a bone. His home in 200 acres of state gardens are located seven miles north of Magnolia in a small town of Todd Mission, Texas where he serves as mayor. Ooh. George earned his master's

Starting point is 01:50:39 degree in art from the University of California in Northridge. Yeah what a hilarious. There's a picture of him in his garden. There's a picture of him at his house. On his website? Clearly this is just a website. Here's a picture of him in doggy style. Oh my God.

Starting point is 01:50:55 Clearly this is just a website for him to get poon, right? I guess. Which guy, got 200 acres? Like this guy's getting more than I am. Oh, well that's not even. Except, well not acres. Like this guy's getting more than I am. Oh, well, that's not even. Well, not now. Now. There's a necrophiliac out there.

Starting point is 01:51:11 Now you're tied. Or if he was Muslim and they're right, those guys are supposed to be slaying. They're getting all the virgins, though, right? Yeah. But I don't know. I've always been a. Wait, what's the funny part?

Starting point is 01:51:24 Well, I just think it's. You didn't lead this one. I actually think it's hilarious because I just have a really weird place in my mind for the Renaissance fair, and I would assume that somebody who's really into it doesn't kill themselves at the end of it. It would be like if you found out, I don't know,

Starting point is 01:51:42 Blippi or something. Maybe he quit running it, and he was like, if I don't know, Blippi or something. Maybe he quit running it and he was like, if I don't have busty wenches around me, I don't see the point in living. That is what it is, busty wenches. Yeah. He's like, I gotta get online, get some more of these wenches around.

Starting point is 01:51:58 I feel like Trey goes to Scarborough Fair a lot. Cray Trey. Like, what is it? Well, so the Wolf used to do a lot of remotes out there. Okay. What is a Ren Fair? Yeah, I mean I've been when I was a kid, but like is it, what's the movie with McLovin in it?

Starting point is 01:52:18 Role models. Yes. That's a great movie. Paul Rudd. That's LARPing. That's LARPing though, yeah. That's different. It's similar. There is a LARP element. That's LARPing though, yeah. That's different. It's similar.

Starting point is 01:52:25 There is a LARPing. Element of LARPing in Run Fair. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I didn't mind doing those shows because, you know, for a lot of the remotes, you set it up and then you play a little tablet game for four hours, but that one, just seeing some of the people

Starting point is 01:52:39 that would walk into there and some of their costumes and mannerisms, it was insane. And then they'd get a funnel cake. Just so random. But it's basically just a trip back to Renaissance era. And you're, I don't know. They're absolutely bringing this into the bedroom though, right?

Starting point is 01:52:55 For sure. I certainly hope so. For sure. I mean, let's not. Some stockade section. Let's not BS here. The corset slaps. That's like, historically one of the hotter things

Starting point is 01:53:06 we've had attire wise. You know? I think it was probably pretty uncomfortable, but yeah, you gotta bring it into the bedroom. A lot of goths. A lot of goths. Yeah. Well, I don't know, again, I just, it's-

Starting point is 01:53:21 Maybe I'll get into it. I'm trying to, yeah, I'm trying to find something for Dan here. Yeah. Yeah.'ll get into it. I'm trying to, yeah, I'm trying to find something for Dan here. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see here, this is a fun one. Doesn't involve a suicide. Three Texas men were arrested in Illinois

Starting point is 01:53:34 as part of a jugging scheme. Do you know what that is? Jugging, no. It's a dressed up term for robbery, but it's basically just watching people withdraw from the ATM and then following them. Okay. So the reason I wanted to do this story

Starting point is 01:53:51 is this is three dudes from different parts of Texas, one from Houston, one from Dallas, and one from Windermere outside Austin. And they're doing this jugging crime in Illinois. It just makes me think how many shitty motel rooms across the country right now are full of just like three guys trying to hit a lick across the country. Like just three guys that are like that's what we're doing. We're just traveling trying to do robberies. Just trying to do robberies

Starting point is 01:54:31 Just trying to do a little ATM robbery like those guys ended up in Illinois it clearly to use the Dan McDowell logic It had been working somewhere. Yeah, like they ended up up there How'd they get busted? It's eventually you get caught doing these things. Yeah. Yeah, I think it Live by the sword, die by the sword. Yeah, they found the vehicle. I'm thrown off by the term jugging. I was waiting for that. Yeah. Yeah, why did they call it that? I don't know. I was waiting for a juggalo reference.

Starting point is 01:54:54 Like they're boofin' Faygo or something. You know? Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why. That's just good old-fashioned robbery. Yeah, I guess it's just the staking out the ATM thing. Do you guys ever feel weird in that situation? Like a sitting duck a little bit? Like if somebody's standing right near you?

Starting point is 01:55:15 Well, like, the ATM by the... I go to a Wells Fargo and it's in Grapevine and it's like really shitty. The ATM's old and busted. It's like a broken down part of the bank. And I just always feel it's kind of a way, and it's like, you know, this is just where you drive up to get money. I can't tell you the last time I went to an ATM. I was about to say, I don't get cash very often anymore. Used to always wanna have a bit of cash on me

Starting point is 01:55:43 just in case you needed it for a cat or something. A little walking around money? Yeah. A little petty cash? Yeah. Last time I got cash out was recently, but it was the first time in a long time, and it was for the babysitter,

Starting point is 01:55:55 who by the way, dude, I'm in, she'll also come over and feed the cat, play with the dog, let the dog out. I am set with this kid. You have a new teenage kid? Yeah. Dropped in your neighborhood? Down the street.

Starting point is 01:56:09 That's beautiful. Competitive rates. What are the rates these days for an hour of babysitting? She asked for $13. What a specific number. I feel like that's low and that is an interesting. And I believe we ended up paying like I've been Doing this for a minute you say 15 they haggle you yeah, she 12. I'm worth more than that

Starting point is 01:56:30 She she she that's what she asked for to come over and do the animals to we'll give you 20 You pay her more to feed the animals and watch the kids right that's per hour kids. I see Okay, and our final story here. I'm curious to see if Jimmy's ever experienced anything like this in his line of work. OK. OK, so we're going to go to Tyler, Texas here. Ooh, Roe City Comedy Club. Good spot.

Starting point is 01:56:59 That's right. By the way, I just wanted to be known that he has been here for two hours and has not promoted the show he has Thursday, which I found out about. Oh, it's Addison Improv. From his website. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:57:12 When I was preparing for it. Which you too can learn about all my shows at my website, jimmynelsoncomedy.com. Yeah. Sorry, it says here, what is your height and weight? Six, because you're pretty tall. Six three. Six three. Six three, 245, working on it. 24 on it. Two forty five. Caucasian. Thirty. Caucasian. Thirty five. Thirty five year old

Starting point is 01:57:30 says here sexually active. Just look at the baby. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Little picture of his hog. Yeah. From the era that still loves 69. So Tyler Texas, we're out East Texas way. Do you guys remember the brief reality show hit that was centered around Golden Gate funeral homes? Oh man, there's one of those by my fire station, Golden Gate. Yes. We were into it, right? Oh yeah.

Starting point is 01:57:58 Did a couple of seconds. Donovan was really into it, and it was insane. It was the funeral homes. I believe typically here you're stereotyping black folks as people who really want an ornate funeral. Now again my mom wants chips and salsa at hers so we're casting no stones here but like there was a guy who wanted white suits pastel color. Yeah. Yeah birds. It's the right picture. Birds. I believe one of the funerals was for the guy, one of the guys

Starting point is 01:58:27 who sang the Baby Back Ribs song for Chili's. And they had, instead of a chocolate fountain, like a rib sauce fountain. Incredible. Hell yeah. Everyone had a rib. Yeah, it's awesome. They had a smoker going.

Starting point is 01:58:40 That is awesome. There was a lot of controversy. There was all sorts of just drama. So this is what this story reminds me of. A woman in East Texas was arrested for stealing a wig off of a human corpse that had been prepared for burial. Well, they don't really need it.

Starting point is 01:59:01 No. Yeah. So this woman is described in the story as a local transient. Who had- Trans. It's a hot button issue right now. Isn't that, I don't even know if any of those stories were true. But all the transportation or other transmission type things

Starting point is 01:59:24 at Doge Cut, because they're like gay. So yeah, the local unhoused that the funeral home is familiar with. So they had prepared this woman's body on May 22nd for burial. 23rd they go back in, there's no wig. The woman hangs out around the funeral home. She's wearing the wig. Like I've had this for years. What are you talking about? They're like, come on. What's her name? Tanya. 55. Tanya Annette Boyd. But you

Starting point is 02:00:00 want to talk about a King of the Hill name. Yeah. Tonya Annette Boyd. But yeah, they lock her up for stealing the wig. Little grave robbing, you know? Yeah. It's an old crime. It's nice to see it still around. The kids are still out there 69ing, according to Henry over here.

Starting point is 02:00:17 People are still pilfering corpses. That's nice. That is nice. We used to do a podcast about grave robbing. And my favorite one was Abraham Lincoln. Got robbed? Yeah, a bunch of guys tried to steal his corpse and ransom it.

Starting point is 02:00:31 Huh. Yeah, which I don't think they would've won that one. But the fun part of the story is they have a informant that tells everyone what's going on, so all these agents are like laying in wait for them to, in the act of committing the crime, then arrest them. And they don't have any equipment to like break the lock.

Starting point is 02:00:51 So they have to file it down, which takes like an hour and a half. And then they can't pick up the top of the coffin, cause it's like 500 pounds. So it takes them like three or four hours. It's a super tough crime to practice for. Yes. Like, you'd be caught if you were like,

Starting point is 02:01:08 I need a casket, I'm in this small town, I'm gonna do a fake burial. Like, you can't go Ocean's Eleven and create a mock-up there. But they took so long getting to the casket that the agents were like falling asleep and shit. And so when the guy did the secret word of it's time to pounce, a guy accidentally shot his gun.

Starting point is 02:01:30 Oh, a little cheddar bob. And they ran away and got away. What do you, yeah, I don't know. It definitely seems like something that used to be a lot more popular. You'd hear about it in Egypt, right? Oh, all the tombs. Yeah, you're raiding these, but it doesn't,

Starting point is 02:01:44 it feels like post America's birth. We don't think of it as as big of a deal. Well, they used to have it for like medical school cadavers. Oh yeah. There was a wild west of that. I think I've actually heard about that, yeah. You would just go steal a freshly buried person

Starting point is 02:02:04 and then sell it to the college near you and they'd be like, oh thank you, where'd you get this? He's like, I got a guy. No questions asked. Now it's like, poor people do that, right? Like, just can't afford a funeral, so we'll sell this body to medical, right? Is that why?

Starting point is 02:02:21 I guess, yeah. I didn't know you could do that. Yeah, I saw a sad story last week about some guy. Clayton, if you know the details, but it was a long story about people that this has happened to, and the government tells you this really flowery story about what your body's going to,

Starting point is 02:02:39 about what your mom's gonna be a part of, and this guy just found, somehow a journalist found a video of his mom like being strapped to a chair and blown up like a bunch of like super high-tech government weapons yeah what bodies just like bodies in instead of crash test dummies yeah I don't know exactly what's gonna yeah you don't get a pick what experiment your body goes to that's the thing they make it seem like like you're definitely Gonna save eight-year-old Fabian who right yeah

Starting point is 02:03:09 No, you're getting lit up by a 19 year old who just drank his fifth monster We're gonna whack this one with hammers. Yeah. Yeah, he's like I'm for science the boys are bored That would have been a good sports science that would have been yeah, there's your news action-packed That would have been a good sports science. That would have been, yeah. There's your news. Action packed. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. What do you like and subscribe to? It doesn't make any sense.

Starting point is 02:03:35 It doesn't make any sense. So today in history, we'll be brought to us by Qualys. You may think Qualys, oh, that's just a company that sponsors generic summer events. No. But there's so much more. Yeah, they're actually like a roofing company I think Qualys, oh, that's just a company that sponsors generic summer events. No. But there's so much more. Yeah, they're actually like a roofing company and construction, I understand.

If you get a roof, they'll hook you up with a sit-in. There you go. And if you don't need a roof, let's say your fence got damaged in a storm, they'll do that. They a sit-in. There you go. And if you don't need a roof, let's say your fence got damaged in a storm,

Starting point is 02:04:38 I thought it was just like two cool letters that rhymed with DZ. And they were like, yeah, we just wanna be involved with you guys. Synergy. Anyways. The Dumb Zone presents... Thanks for the... ...today in history.

Starting point is 02:04:55 No viewer mail birthdays on this day. So we jump right into the stuff. Monday June 2nd. On this date in 1886, Jimmy, this is a big one for Jake, the only president to ever get married. Oh wow. In the executive mansion on this day in 1886 was President Grover Cleveland. You know the bit here I don't see the big fat one or is that Garfield's taff he married someone named Francis Folsom So Grover was a big boy, but he's not the biggest of boys, but his wife that he married here He so he's 49. Yeah She's 21. Okay, which is you know, you like, man, I don't know, it's the times. So how old would he have been when she was born then?

Starting point is 02:05:49 28. 28. So you kind of think, wow, that's weird to think. Somewhere my wife's being born. That's weird to think. It's like Belichick was like 40 or whatever when his, right? He had three Super Bowls already. Yeah, he was 50 actually when his wife was born. So he's, and you just think that's weird enough.

Starting point is 02:06:08 Yeah. Now. Then you add in this element that Grover had known her family for some time, some time dating back to when she was born. Okay. And he would always bring her gifts and like treat her like his own.

Starting point is 02:06:23 And then when she turned 18 or 19. Yeah, he called dibs early. Like if you had heard Belichick held this girl as a baby. I'm going to fuck this baby one day. I can't wait. But then. I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait.

Starting point is 02:06:39 Not just you held her, but then you also were at her second birthday party. Yeah, he was involved her whole life. You gave her a gift when she turned 10. He raised his wife. Yeah. And think about it too. You gotta do it yourself sometime.

Starting point is 02:06:52 Think about it too, like if you were her dad and you're like, god damn, Grover's a little much. He's gonna be president. What are you gonna do? You can't do anything. Imagine. You just have to take it. Hey Hey Grover's here for his Sunday with my six-year-old. Go for it. On this day in 1924, Calvin Coolidge, he's also a

Starting point is 02:07:16 president at the time, now at this time. That's a sick name. Calvin Coolidge. He signs a measure which, this is really funny to me. So this guaranteed American citizenship for all Native Americans born within the US territorial limits. You guys, you're not gonna believe it. We need your people now. Congress had to pass it and then President Coolidge signed and like, all right, sorry for like,

Starting point is 02:07:50 we killed pretty much everybody in your whole lineage and everything. You're waiting to vote, stay in line. But how do you feel about Black Jack? Boy, I'll tell you what. You are a US citizen. From this day forth, good as gold. And the stand stood up and started slow clapping. Yeah. You're a Native American. Yeah. You're born here

Starting point is 02:08:12 so we will grant you, we will very wide of you. It is a tricky one I'm not saying what what we meaning the caucus mountain, did to the natives was right. But there is like, when you start thinking through history, who's right? Most places had people in them when other people arrived at them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's just a weird. No, everybody's wrong.

Starting point is 02:08:40 They didn't want it enough. That's right! It's the will to win. It goes to show. On this day in 1981, the video arcade game Donkey Kong was released. Holds up. On this day in 2010, a legendary, perfect game lost. Armando Galarraga was the pitcher for the Tigers two outs in the

Starting point is 02:09:06 ninth inning playing the Indians and a blown call by umpire Jim Joyce at first base where he called him safe and he was like clearly out but there was no replay or anything that's a tough one did you see yesterday the yes hitter? Making fun of that one pitcher. Diamondbacks, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, never have. It looks like fart. But he went, his technical line is 0.0 innings pitched, six hits allowed, eight runs allowed, two hit by pitch, eight batters faced, all of whom scored. Oh my god, that's an infinity ERA.

Starting point is 02:09:49 For that outing. I believe there are two other times in history they've seen a stat line that they're determining the yes hitter. By the way, can I tell you something that bothers me about baseball box scores? If you go six and a third, it shouldn't say 6.1. It's always driven me crazy, but now that I look at box scores-

Starting point is 02:10:13 Should it say 6.3? I think it should. I think it should. And then would the next one say 6.7? Because technically- You have to round up. But it's unstable. In what other scenario do we

Starting point is 02:10:25 use the decimal system and then just be like, people know what it means. Yeah. 0.1. It's like, no, 0.1 would be like, I don't even know how you do it. One pit, I don't know, bothers me. Back to today in history. On this very day in 2011. John Brankus is dead. I'm having a tough time. day in 2011. John Brankus is dead. I'm having a tough time. Dirk Nowitzki makes the tie-breaking layup with 3.6 seconds left. As the Mavs come back from 15 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the Heat, 95-93 tie the NBA Finals at one game apiece. They had outscored the Heat 22- five down the stretch and get the biggest comeback win in an NBA final since 1992.

Starting point is 02:11:09 Incredible. I was there. I was not feeling great about the Mavs chances though at this time, just because I think they got blown out in game one. You're getting blown out again in game two and then you have to have a miraculous comeback. So that just felt, you know, we've seen it many times.

Starting point is 02:11:29 Your one shot. The stars, the Dallas stars. Yeah, they just got outplayed that last series. Yeah, but the one game that they won, they were actually getting blown out, right? Yeah, I had a five minute flurry. That's kind of the way I felt about the Mavs at that point but. None of it seemed real until it happened. That was a very fun experience. What a run. I was in Costa Rica the first trip I ever took with my wife and we were staying at a place at

Starting point is 02:11:59 the same time same place as something called Young Black Professionals which is just like a it's a professional organization for networking and that sort of thing. And so it's like 80 black people, like in their 20s. And we were at the bar watching the finals and my wife was talking to this lady, black lady and her friends. And you know, she's young professional and they're talking and it's very code switchy. These ladies sounded exactly like my wife. Like, yeah, girl, that's cool, we should talk, whatever. I swear to God, dude, the second that they stopped

Starting point is 02:12:34 talking to Kristen, this girl looked back up at the TV and she was like, girl, that in kid hooping. The cleanest code switch I've ever seen. And it was like, boy, I don't have to do that. It's very interesting. But Jason Kidd, not long ago, was a good NBA player. Is that weird to you now? Like he was so old in 2011.

Starting point is 02:13:01 Yeah. And then kind of tried to keep playing. Yeah, kind of. He went to New York and wrecked a car. Yeah that sucked. He did. That just sucked when the whole thing broke up. All of it. Um, where am I? Oh, other birthdays today include Lucky Whitehead is 33. Blitz! Lucky Whitehead, do you know the story of Lucky Whitehead? Not a specific one. A Dallas Cowboy.

Starting point is 02:13:37 Oh, I'm thinking of a different guy. Dallas Cowboy, wide receiver. Undrafted. Who at one point had a pit bull. Yeah. Which was kidnapped and it was a big news story for a few days and then they found out a local rapper had his pit bull. Bugatti Casino. That was the dog's name or the rapper? That was Fort Worth rapper Bugatti Casino. The dog was Blitz. Nice. And it was just a big mystery for a couple days

Starting point is 02:14:10 where the dog was. This guy, the rapper bought the dog. Yeah, he bought the dog for like, He's like, oh, somebody stole this dog. Quite a few, quite a bit of money. A lot, 20 grand or something. Oh my God. And then, yes, then Lucky wanted it back,

Starting point is 02:14:22 and then it was a big thing, and the rapper's like, look, I didn't steal your dog. And we had Bugatti Casino on the show. We did, we did it the next day, right? It was awesome. Yeah. And then, Your Given Name.

Starting point is 02:14:37 Mr. Casino on line four here. And this was also in the era when the podcast Cereal was real hot. Oh yeah. Do you remember the Cereal? Yeah. The murders. With Sarah Koenig and it was so hot they were spoofing it on SNL and whatnot and we also thought this was kind of a cereal type case. Yeah I mean uh yeah I got called the first night it happened that Sunday when I was coming back I was in Fort Lauderdale Airport. They called and said, what's up?

Starting point is 02:15:09 Like, wow, how much the dog mean to you? And I was like, who is this? Like, where my dog at? They was like, nah, you got to, you want the dog back, you got to cut a check. Previously on Cereal. Cowboys wide receiver Rodney Lucky Whitehead says that his puppy is being held for ransom. Addison police are investigating after his dog Blitz was taken from his Addison home. It's killing me you know it hurts because I don't know how he's

Starting point is 02:15:35 being treated you know I wasn't here to protect him you know it's just a signal. Lucky Whitehead is convinced this is happening to him because he's a Dallas a signal. Come on, bro. Y'all people crazy here, bro. Whitehead says he is stepping up security. This is not how he wanted to head into training camp at Oxnard next week. From this American life in WBEZ Chicago, it's cereal. One story told week by week. I'm Sarah Koenig. That was a great season of cereal. Well done. That was really well done. Fantastic. We should reach out to him. You remember Gaudi Casino? Both of them. We should try to to him. You remember how- Bugatti Casino?

Starting point is 02:16:25 Both of them. We should try to have them on together. Get them on together, like, hey, let's go through that. Very the hatchet here, what happened? Let's do that, it's a great- I think it'd be awesome. What can we call that? Think about it.

Starting point is 02:16:36 Well, you remember how his career with the Cowboys ended, don't you? Yesterday we made a decision that was in the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, they cut him based on like a false identity thing. Someone stole his identity. Someone named Lucky Whitehead was arrested like in North Carolina.

Starting point is 02:16:55 Virginia or something, they cut him. And the Cowboys just cut him the next day and then it turns out it wasn't that lucky. And they're like, you know what, we're fucking tired of this dude. We're still done with him. Like the dog thing, there's a lot going on over here crazy Just get him on We write that down

That's an all-time McDowell classic. There's no reason we can't play that, right? If we wanted to play that right now, who's to say? Yeah, I

Starting point is 02:17:55 think we could. It's on the on ticket and everything, but I tried to high five him when... So the NHL had their lockout in what year? Probably 2006 or something. I don't know. And show Dan was on, had the commissioner on. He was in town for opening night to get back to work. And they had killed the players in the negotiations and Dan was like, yeah, we're back to work. Looks like you won that one.

Starting point is 02:18:21 Tried to high five the commissioner. He's like, we're not gonna be high fiving. We were high fiving. We will not high five. We will not high five. This is great. Looks like you won that one. That'll show him. That suit.

Starting point is 02:18:36 That's the only thing I ever would say. I had no other bits, because you won that one was a good bit with Donnie Nelson, too. I don't know that you had no other bits but mentioning that the Mavericks won the dirt Robert Tractor trailer trade the day Robert Tractor trailer died was the Mavs did win that trade at that point. Right. Donnie reacted a little more with a little more jovial. Yeah. Jovially. In a humorous mode.

Starting point is 02:19:06 Abby Womback is 45. Does she have a Kemp's Men? Did she beat up her confusing soccer stars? Yeah, you're confusing her with- Roast beef. With roast beef. I don't even know. All hope solo?

Starting point is 02:19:21 Hope solo. Oh, how'd you get there? I'd say roast beef. I've seen some beat up butthole of her. Oh my god. Well, we all saw her She beat up her tight-end boyfriend. He played for the Seahawks and she kicked his ass a bunch of times Wrestler Lex Luger is 67. He used to make his pecs pop Do that in the mirror? Jerry Mathers is 77. That does not feel like a Henry birthday of the day.

Starting point is 02:19:49 You know who he is? Mm-mm. You do. Oh, he's Beaver? Yeah. Leave it to Beaver. Dennis- Okay, I'm just thinking in my head of ways to use him.

Starting point is 02:20:03 Like what if- Intern Henry? What if Henry had to review like six episodes of Leave It. Like would his brain melt if he tried to make sense of Leave It to Beaver? I was thinking that just for Blake. Make Blake watch an episode, but sure, yeah, let's do it. Like episode one, it didn't slap. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 02:20:23 But that was well before me. I that's like I know my mom was a little kid when leave it to be verizon my dad definitely liked it but he might have liked it in reruns indication form yeah this next one's a big one though next what you said the start name. Oh, Dennis Haysbert. Yeah. Is 71. Serrano. Pedro Serrano in Major League. The President. 24. Dana Carvey is 70.

Starting point is 02:20:51 Do you remember having Dennis Haysbert in the studio? Because he's also a State Farm man. I knew he had him on the show. I didn't know it was in studio. Yeah, he came up. Speaking of Dana Carvey, my kid's been eating a lot of broccoli. Broccoli. Boy, every time I'd make him broccoli's been eating a lot of broccoli. Broccoli!

Starting point is 02:21:05 And boy, every time I'd make him broccoli, I'd go, chop him broccoli! Yeah, you can't. You can't not. You've got to do it. It's a blast. You can teach kids to like broccoli when they're little. Oh yeah. My kids were really stoked on it.

Starting point is 02:21:16 I think he just likes everything. That's the thing. I don't know how we fell out of it. We didn't stop serving it. You know, she would eat it, now she doesn't. Hmm. I don't skit it. Wayne Brady, 53. Oh my god.

Starting point is 02:21:30 Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch? What a skit. What a skit. I recently watched all the, that whole series again. I think he's genuinely like very, very funny. My runner up for birthday of the day, before we even get to Henry birthdays of the day,

Starting point is 02:21:49 would be Brian Regan, 67. The comedian? You a fan? Oh yeah, I love Brian Regan. Yeah, he's all crazy. I had never heard of him until like two years ago. Same, yeah. He's one of those dudes that he never did any big TV stuff,

Starting point is 02:22:06 but he does theaters and shit. He's been selling a lot of tickets for a long time. That's what's weird. And it was kind of just, you don't, unless you know it. I never heard of him. I was watching, I was rolling through the whole Norm MacDonald show archives, like his YouTube show.

Starting point is 02:22:22 I need to do that so bad. And somebody was talking, they were talking comedians that Norm likes and he said, Brian Regan is like his favorite comedian. I'm like, Norm MacDonald's favorite comedian is some guy I've never heard of. I have to go look up Brian Regan. Yes, and then the first video I find,

Starting point is 02:22:36 he's in like a huge hall. He's got eight million views. Yeah, like where did this come from? I've never, and then I've been rolling through his stuff. He's awesome. Like he's incredible. If I listen to him too much, I'll start doing the dumb voice.

Starting point is 02:22:49 Yeah. So much fun to do. He looks, his mannerisms are kind of, when you first watched him, it was kind of Jim Carrey to me. Like he's very animated face and just, but, and I guess once you think about it, you realize it, but you don't like, he's not labeled a clean comic, but he is.

Starting point is 02:23:08 But he is, yeah. He never, yeah, he never swears or anything. Like, I don't know, he's just, he's brilliant. He's unbelievable. I'm pro Brian Regan. Is he gonna be at the summer event or? No. Kind of best we could do.

Starting point is 02:23:25 But if Jimmy watches enough Brian Regan this week, he'll start doing The Voice. Due to some budgetary constraints, I'm gonna be there, guys. No, I don't know how this guy flew under my radar. That's a thing for me in general. We can talk about this another day, but when I fire up HBO or Netflix

Starting point is 02:23:40 and I see comedians, I'm like, how do I not know this person? I feel like I'm extremely plugged in. It's. There's the big names that are household names, and there's like six of those. And then the rest of it, you can have giant careers and you're a celebrity two days a week. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, there was somebody on there the other day

Starting point is 02:24:01 that I'm like, there's several of them. I'm like, I've never heard of this person. Our birthday of the day is going to be Zachary Quinto is 48. Wow. The man who delivered the slap in the pilot episode of the award-winning series, The Slap. The Slap. And of course, that was one of our big ideas. We were

Starting point is 02:24:27 going to watch the entire series and review it and we watched episode one, reviewed it, played audio. It was awesome. We did it with Job, which was... And we never watched another one. No, I watched a couple. We never talked about it. It is a hilarious show. Clayton has an idea for us to like reshoot it. The Slap? With like the zone universe. That's a great idea. At least just, you know the premise. That's great. I know somebody slapped somebody and they have to. Would we get to slap Blake or Henry or something or? Oh yeah, so I think it's it's based on an Australian show, but it's just there's a big family in the American one it's a Greek family, so they're real loud, they drink a lot, and they're having a family party.

Starting point is 02:25:06 And one of their kids is like, was his name Victor or Hugo? Hugo, I think, little asshole. Just breaking 45 records and just knocking stuff over, and his uncle backhands him. Yeah. And chaos ensues, because he's got like a yuppie mom, you know,

Starting point is 02:25:24 that is his dad. We don't punish him. We don't punish. We don't, you know, we just want him to grow and live his life. Yeah, and it just, the whole thing unravels, you know, from the slap. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 02:25:35 It's really. Here's the dumb zone slap, Henry 69ing with someone. That's the whole thing? Blake walks in, trying to shush him to stop, accidentally slaps the other person. Plot twist, Steve Noviello. The other person, interesting. That's the whodunit. Feels a little too...

Starting point is 02:25:56 Oh, it's her stay. This is whiteboard, we're just throwing ideas. Nothing's a bad idea, nothing's a bad idea. Just chit chatting. All right. Remember, was it the guy that delivered the slap was also into the babysitter who was like 18? No, that was the guy who was trying to hold it all together.

Starting point is 02:26:11 Okay. But his wife had hired a babysitter, but he's nailing the babysitter. Yeah, he missed the slap because they were getting it on under the deck or something. That's right. Yeah. I'll be that guy.
