I got a text this morning from a very good friend of mine who owns an HVAC company. My HVAC company, Community Mechanical, he says Fair Lease is great. Whoa! I hooked him up with Fair Lease because they were looking for some new vehicles for their fleet. He

says much better than DNM who we got our first vehicles through. Thanks for the connection. I didn't know we were doing super jam shots fired up here. He said it's nice. They're also the bank. So Fair Lease is also the bank. What does that mean? It's fair from top to bottom. Well, I think it's because they're involved with the Credit Union of Texas. I'm trying to lead you into something. OK, sorry.

Sorry, yes. A copy point. He said it's nice that they're also the bank, because they're getting us better rates on our leases, and they have local connections. Whereas the other leasing company was sourcing their cars from all over the state. What I'm trying to say here is people do win

by going to FairLease.org. Yes, there will be a request to quote right there on the website. You can select the dumb zone on the how did you hear about us thing. I just thought the credit union to Texas thing was cool because it's Texas. I didn't know that there was actually a straight up business

thing we're learning. Yeah. Yeah. So go to FairLease.org for your next vehicle the proceeding and the following content are brought to you by no puppet productions and the dumb zone the two actual audio examples you have where shoddy trying to think the name of the guys dog I mean I don't remember what his dog was it's not a good story the other part was GP when they asked him like oh is there anything you really remember from your dinner

with Shotta? He goes, man, everything. Which is exactly what Alzheimer's people say, because I'm trying to stimulate their mind. We watch a movie. I'm like, all right, mom, did you like that movie? Yeah. What was your favorite part?

Everything. Again, same with the kid. Same with the kid. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Am I a little hot today? What do you say? No, I got you. I got you.

It's my fault. My bad. I'm never listening. I'm going to listen. There's Blake, falling on the sword again. I'm Dan McDell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. And look over there.

Hello. It's Mike Saroy. My name is Mike. Fresh off the Cirque du Saroy there. Hello. It's Mike Saroy. My name is Mike. Fresh off the Cirque du Saroy debut. Oops. So what will event Saroy do? Still glowing. Still glowing.

Thank you for having me on my favorite morning show, The Dumb Zone. No. Would this be morning to you? Absolutely. What time do you fire out of bed? Early today. Well, I think we need a number because early is subjective. I bet you live the closest to where we are today. Oh dude,

this was easy. 32 minutes, straight shot, zero traffic. Beautiful God country. Not a whisk for the city. It was awesome. I asked Saroy to play in the golf tournament last weekend. I said, shotgun start at 8 AM. I think I gave you an oof. I had something. Oh, Electric 6 was the night before that. And you know how that's my favorite show in the world. Absolutely, I did it on time. For golf.

For golf. Yeah, it was free golf. It was also free golf. Wasn't it for women who work? Thank you. And charity? I didn't even know there was golf going on that day. He just sold the support women bats that go.

He put the light up. I said, 8 AM, yes, I'm there. And I just happened to dress nicely, which was Travis Matthews head to toe. So today, we are not broadcasting from our downtown Dallas studios at the Fox Four location. We are not high atop my garage where we often are but I would say besides those two places would this be the place we

have most frequently broadcast in the life of the dumb zone so this is time three yeah yeah we're in Waxahachie yeah I mean if you don't count like the RV but if you're talking about a set place I don't know that we've gotten to three anywhere else Got a couple conne's under the under the belt Yeah, no, we've been here. This is the third time now at the the estate It's still a field I was gonna say this modified field, but there's a lot of field out here. We're in Waxahachie, the estate of Tom, the great Tom Vendress.

Vendress? Vendress? Only three shows here and you still don't have the last name down. I just, I'm, I'm on a first name basis with Tom. Tom Vendress sounds and honestly looks like a, uh, national league late 80s manager that would rip your ass for not taking the signals that he gave you. He's running out of ground ball. Yeah.

Like he's retired now. So he's nice, you know, little edge, kick your ass. Like, you know it, but as, as I pulled up here and he's got like, is it the emo, what do we got out there? Yeah. Too many donkeys came to the gate when I barricaded. There's a lot of nature. There's a lot of chickens.

We were just walking, Dan and Jake, because we travel together. We were walking up the walk. And it startled me. These two big roosters popped out of a, apparently they were just sitting in an empty flower pot together. So I don't know if they're gay, because there are two guys. And they were just sitting in an empty flower pot together. So I don't know if they're gay because there are two guys

and they're very close. There's all this. There's acres and acres. But they were in a flower pot together. They were working out. Like, smooshed in there together. Gym bros. Just having a Thursday.

Kind of rich because they just watched you two get out of a vehicle. That's true. Yeah, and they're like, look at me. That's true. He's humble. They're right. They're on their podcast right now. They're like, look at these. That's true. These humble well-willed. They're right. They're on their podcast right now.

They're right. We're good. Look at these two. Can't do anything without each other. I was thinking about the previous times we've been here. I think once without Jake, if I recall. And once with Jake, and this was a different person back in the day, who was going through some things that... You remember that, Jake.

Just a prehab, Jake. Okay. I don't remember. Refreshing. And I do remember upon leaving our first trip here, unless this was the second trip, didn't you hand us each a bunch of liquor? And it's like, oh no no. Did you did you help send Jake to where he eventually

I remember extending a bottle to him. And he recoiled as if I had he looked at poison, and he recoiled back. And about five minutes before that he asked me if he could possibly move in here. I had the feeling that something was going on there and I was very worried about Jake for some time. Yeah. And- You were not alone.

I did craft an email at one point and then I stopped. I went in the kitchen and I told my wife, I think it's a brain tumor. And she said, what are you talking about? I said, I think Jake has a brain tumor. Oh, is this during the month off, you mean? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, the second time. But it was very concerning. But that first time when he was here, I sensed a lot of tension and I didn't feel right. Something was off. I thought it might be the

pressure from the new gig. So you know what I should do? I should give him a bunch of liquor. No, that'll seem to happen a lot. I mean, that that is a thing that that is weird when you get on the other side of this deal. Not that you're ever like fully on the other side. But in retrospect, you're like, man, how come all these people that I kept embarrassing myself in front of kept gifting me liquor every holiday?

This guy loves liquor. I'm sure my parents have thought about it. In the moment, we all drank. But my parents, my dad would just give me a bottle of booze. And I'm like, man, I'm fighting it over here. Like, I want to fly more. In Jake's defense, I think that was the morning of Carter's tubes. So I think you actually were weighing things in your personal life. In Jake's defense, I think that was the morning of Carter's tubes.

So I think you actually were weighing some things in your personal life. That was super tough. But anyways, why don't you guys want to mock him? If I feel light today. You what? I said I hope for Tom I feel light today relative to last time.

Because I feel like I'm Charlie Sheen right now. Winning? No AIDS. Oh, no AIDS and winning? Yeah. Yeah, and this place is great. This is unreal. We'll hear a lot more about it in closing remarks.

This is the homestead of a real Texas man. Tom's great, big supporter. If you want to jump on our quarterly meeting with Tom, you could be... There's like three people alive, and you're not one of them. that affiliation with this thing makes me think, all right, maybe, maybe we maybe we're headed in the right direction and he's one of them. Yeah. So on today's program. Oh, we do want to promote.

At least one thing, which is we want to be better at promoting, and it's something called the dumb zone generic summer event presented by qualis roofing It is our possibly annual event Then the first one will be Saturday June 7th So if indeed this becomes a tradition you could say I was there first And if indeed you are tepid as to the future of this thing,

you could just tune in on YouTube. It will be on our YouTube page as well. I plan on watching at a minimum, but if I'm cordially invited, I would love to attend. Oh my God. If you're going to announce here that you will be at the Dumb Zone Generic Summer Event presented by Qualis Roofing Satellite June 7th at the local Shacks at Austin Ranch. That would be fantastic. I feel like I've been invited but it wasn't cordial. Right. So if you could make it cordial. Where else are we doing cordial? I'll instantly say yes. Is that on the list? You can make it work. Where else are we doing it? Cordially invited. You know what? I cordially... Oh did I get get one? Hey, yeah, that's a good one.

Yeah. I always make sure that when I go down on a lady, it's cordially. What do you? I don't know where else that works. But yeah, you're invited. Prophets and Outlaws will play a show. Grady Spencer in the work will play a show. That's as cordially as I need.

Jimmy Nelson will put out a fire. I saw the animated version of Jimmy on the your your logo. So quite nice I will be there. Absolutely, and it will be streamed. Hell. Yes. We should also thank our supporting sponsor presenting sponsor qualis roofing They put the queue in DZ GSE queue But we have community mechanical Shout out Travis Texas Tr Trident, garage doors, Fairleys. We've already talked about them a little bit today. And Silverback Construction. What's it like in your show to take a moment to read all these sponsors?

What do you mean? What's that like? Oh, if you, I mean. Is that fun? Like, do you play it? What's happening day one of our show? This guy wants to. I learned about Dallas Pickleball. Okay, the Dallas Flash. The Dallas Flash. Build Roman a day over here. I know.

Why am I not on third base yet? I'm just whapping. I'm in the batter's box. I'm born. And the truth is, you're using it. Should I be on third? Your first problem probably is that you're using this word sponsors, right?

These are just our friends who run businesses. Partner or affiliated ones. We're just all, we're all part of the team. Yeah. I'm businesses. Partner or affiliated with. OK. We're all part of the team. Yeah. I'm right. And when you change your mindset on that. Symbiotic relationship.

Where. I'm furiously writing. When he rolls in. We're like the little parasite cleaning the remora. Yeah. Cleaning the shark. Remora, yeah. Whatever.

Why do we all remember that? I don't know. I love the remora. You're in that? Absolutely. Yeah, but you're also a megalodon guy. Yeah, of course Why do we all remember that? I love the remora. You're in that? Absolutely. Yeah, but you're also a Megalodon guy Yeah, of course of the sea if you guys remora If you guys want to know and I don't know that Tom knew this if he had known this ahead of time

I bet he would have doubled down and scheduled us out here But today we keep track show number 369 That's why Mike's here, that's right. Yeah, right We keep track. Show number 369. That's why Mike's here. That's right. Yeah, that's right. I just showed up. How exciting is that? Quite.

Are you gonna keep trying to title all of the episodes of the Circus Royale Show live at eight o'clock Tuesdays and Thursdays? Thank you. Because that's gonna catch up to ya. I'll say that one's a Danny venture. Okay. What was like the titles of Friends? That's- They all had the same- Yeah, the one about- Yeah, the one where, the one whatever.

Danny wants to do like sort of always sunny. That's what his plan was. But again, that's out of my hands. So I'm like, I love it. Do it. When do you think he'll drop off? I was just saying, do you know what I'm saying? Tonight? Do we get? Show two. Well, I mean, the first one just pilot kind of falls in your lap. And from there, you got to get off to the races. Because he did after the show.

He's like, what happened on the show? Because then he lists like three things. I have no idea. I don't remember. It was a blur. Got to get a guy. In a couple of years, we'll have 369 different names. No.

Can I tell you one quick thing? I know Jake at least listened to the beginning of the show and I had my curb moment. Did you hear that? Yeah, the potty. Yeah. So I was doing Aaron's emergency and I had to swing by Christina, my girlfriend's condo. She lives with me now, but we're selling it to pick up a package. But I also had simultaneous stomach pick up a package, but I also had simultaneous stomach disaster bubbling. So I run in, whatever. And within 10 minutes of me relieving myself in this condo that the AC is off, so it's hot, it's sweltering.

The realtor walks in with a prospective buying couple as I'm just finishing up my deeds. Terrible. And I'm rushing and sweating. OK, I can't remember if you mentioned this. Had you met that guy before, the realtor? It was a blur, because I did meet her primary realtor, and I don't even know if that was him,

because I was so embarrassed, and it was just chaos. Because my first thought, and maybe this is just I've been conditioned by the media, my first thought is that I feel like realtors are packing now. And if they walk into a, we've heard of realtors being killed. It's kind of a vulnerable position. Oh, OK. And then if you're in there, like you

pop out of the bathroom that. I said hello. Somebody was squatting. Or something. Well, they have the code thing hanging on the door. So you had to have a way to get in. Right. Yeah, it could just be other.

Other realtors to get in. And I do say real tour, because that's how it's pronounced, I guess. Yes. They'll yell at you if not. Uh, but anyway, quick follow. It was fine. You think you'd laugh if you heard Rich Phillips pronounce it that way? Real tour. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't, I guess. Um, what are you up to these days? What was your excuse? Like, oh, the pipes are fine. Well, no, because the things were beeping, the smoke detect, smoke and carbon oxide thing. So I did fix those.

So I'm like, I had new batteries and the acting like I was there cleaning up or fixing something up. It was just awful. They knew, I knew, I just got out of there. Whatever. I introduced myself as my girlfriend. This is our condo. It's beautiful.

You'll love it. Anyway, this morning, and she laughed, you know, she thought it was funny, but this morning her realtor contacted her and she's like, Hey, we have a bit of a issue at your place. There's a plumbing issue. So of course, immediately I'm like, she let me off the hook instantly. My jaw just drops. And she's like, no, no, don't worry. It's with the shower in the master, which is not even the room I was using. And obviously I was not using the shower, but we did have, she enjoyed winding me up

for one moment of $1,100 repair needed. So we're there, huh? Girlfriend is moving in. Yeah, no, she moved in. The day we got fired. He was all emotional and fucked up. Hey girl. And he's like, baby. I don't want to be by myself right now

You're probably about to leave me. Yeah I'm not famous anymore. I got a year runway. I promise Look at this effort. Look at the doc. Look, it says 12. I swear to god. I couldn't believe it either Right there. Were you reading? So you got fired from the freak? Yeah, Christina did not True. It was dicey there for a minute. It's like, you know how they had to trade Ranton. Seriously, it's like, this is the one who makes the cash. We've got to find a way.

Yeah, you want to fly into the radar on that one. It has never felt weird, but you're right. When you just put the headline of the paper as, you know, gets fired, girlfriend keeps job at same place. It's kind of a reverse Shiv Roy thing. Like you were the golden one and then now you're left to the sidelines. But I'm just asking because you've been married before and lived with lady and then I just wondered if that was not in your future.

Are you perhaps going to get married again? Would you rule that out? Is she sitting around waiting for that? Perhaps. No, I wouldn't rule that out. And yes, I would imagine she is definitely sitting around waiting. I thought you had such a great deal. She has a condo. He's got his own little house. That was a couple of years though. He was running on overtime. I think he exceeded the expected. He said, I'm working like two years, two years behind what I wouldn't would normally happen, I think in a relationship. So I waited too long to get the you know,

ask her to move in. It compounds over time. Yeah, now the clock is. So is there a scenario where there is much like with one of your co host, which much like with one of your co-hosts, much like with one of our former co-hosts, is there still a scenario where we get a baby, a baby Billy Saroy? I don't think so. What's her temperature on the matter? She's pretty...

You know you'd be a good dad. Thank you. And I say that and here's how I judge. Can she drop, stop drinking long enough to be a good dad. I thank you, and I think so too. And I say that, and here's my how I judge. Can she drop, stop drinking long enough to be pregnant? Yeah. She's disciplined. There's something to the matter of, I don't know, like the ease at which women pull that off.

Like I've known women who I thought were alcoholics, and it was like that. They could ease. Makes the whole men going to rehab thing look a little silly at times. Yeah, she'd be fine with. The reason I think Mike is not, that he would be a good dad is not because he's a good person.

No. But I view good dad based on like, Fun? Kind of fun, but he knows like some outdoor shit. Like he's from the water. That helps. My dad was a good dad, but he doesn't really know how to do anything.

He'd have cool uncle. Yeah. Uncle, aunt, and uncle would that be fun. Crazy grandma. We all need one of those. Yeah, we got that. In house. So how's grandma?

Because you said you had your Alzheimer's ridden mother living with you. And there's fun with that. I didn't say ridden. Has the Rebel Alliance made their advance? Well, that's actually, I don't know if any of this is real fun, or you can make anything funny I suppose. Well, you made it fun. But.

Just telling us, what was it, watching Jeopardy or something that. Oh, is it cake? By far the funniest. Watching is a cake with the Alzheimer's program. An Alzheimer's person is always like, well, is it cake? By far the funniest. Watching Is It Cake with the Alzheimer's program. An Alzheimer's person is all, well, is it cake? I don't know yet either. I don't know yet either. Level the playing field.

It looks like a handbag to me, Mom. We're all going to find out together many times per episode. Dude, that's so. Is that cake? That's what got us to talking about how it's just like being with a child. Yeah. Yeah. Could you watch the same episode, like record it?

Yes. You watch the same episode of Jeopardy tomorrow, but then you get them all right and should be like, oh my God. You are so- You should roll. Okay. Genius. No, you should do this all football season.

You should have a bit on your show. We're helping you. Thank you. You watch, like, what is it? Bermuda's fastest two minutes. Yeah. Yeah, you're like Romo. You're just predicting the play.

I think right here, they go deep. Deep ball. Take your shot, boys. Or call in the home run. Like, legit, since you guys are doing video, you could legit be up at the TV and be like, mom, I feel like deep ball here. Watch here. It's going up here, right here.

Somehow, and maybe it would be easier if it was a game, because there'd be down points. If it were highlights, maybe she catches on. This is a good bit, though. Yeah. This is a pretty good bit. I actually like the Jeopardy idea, just annihilating Jeopardy, every category, and wow her with the same show.

Yeah, in a sense you're like Bill Murray and Groundhog Day. So were you going to ask about how she, mom feels about girlfriend? Oh, go ahead. Well no, so think about that scenario. So I asked her to move in and it's awesome. She's freaking awesome. Like we get a, whatever. Low mate.

But yes, completely. But not. Were we doing it? No. Okay. Didn't feel good. Low mate. I did not. I obviously, neither of us knew that the house was going to have another attendee in the, you know, a couple months after she moved in. And she's handled that very well. Although, you know, it's not exactly what she signed up for or, you know, it wasn't what she was picturing when she, she did it, but she's adapted to that very well. Although, you know, it's not exactly what she signed up for or, you know, wasn't what she was picturing when she did it. But she's adapted to that very well. And that's why she held onto the condo for a while. Yeah, she's raising the price instead of lowering it. Yeah.

Yeah, so that part is not ideal, you know, but whatever. We're dealing with all of it. And Mom is going to hopefully move to an independent living place here pretty soon. That's the idea. Is the Florida stuff all cleaned out? No. We haven't even been back there. You still have the Florida estate to? Yeah, the full estate.

About the size of this one. Go through, get all the Trump coins and. Some socks and a Chia head. I might bring you guys. She has a Chia Trump? Yeah, absolutely. That's great, I'd love great. Unboxed, new inbox. Dude. So we can grow our own. That would be great. Yeah. I don't know

we're just figuring all that shit out. It's obviously not fun but we're doing right by her so she's good. There's a small part of me that is sad for Vida. I mean a large part of anybody that's going through that, your friend, but for her specifically because she put in a lot of work and like right now truly is the golden age that she hoped for. Like Dan Bongino runs the secret service, Cash Patel the FBI. Her favorite Fox News hosts are just running the government

and like unlike the first time with Trump, when she was probably having to hear a lot about, like, oh, this sucks, now it's just winning. Yeah. This is the time she doesn't get to enjoy the spoils of this parade. Does she get to newly enjoy it every day? Maybe so. I just know last time when we were like, Bongino.

Like, Chappie was so happy when he heard that damn Bongino was gonna get this gig. One shot, he didn't get to watch The Wire twice. Yeah. Yeah, and she's not enjoying it exactly at the level that she should. She doesn't really watch, certainly nothing. I mean, it used to be all day, every day.

And now she just kinda checks it and doesn't seem to have the joy that she's earned. You're right. Basking. That's how I hope Blake has to feel if the Cowboys win a Super Bowl this year. For bailing. What did we talk about earlier this week?

Just getting mad over things that won't happen? What we're about to talk about right now is an upcoming Super Bowl season. I was gonna interject and tell Saroy that, why don't you tell your mom that, boy, I think Shottie gets fired after week eight. Yeah, no, we got to keep the big going, idiot. Well, that leads us to sports.

Because I have some Shdy audio audio for you guys also Sports is brought to us by Community Mechanical. I don't know if you know, but I was texting with Travis. I've heard yeah anyway Yes, he's hooked up with Fair Lease. It's great, but many have hooked up with Community Mechanical They are an HVAC company They are an HVAC company They are our HVAC company and now is the time to give them a call for some preventative maintenance Sign up for that like that said that'll get you in the door And then if you you're gonna love the community mechanical and their customer service

And then if you do ever need the full air conditioner unit or something like that you're already there to hook you up and Seriously, man, they're awesome to deal with. You gotta have them come out. They came out to my house. They came out to my house. I said have them come out, Saroy.

I will. Okay. They came out and yesterday, Business Wednesday, I'm in the mini den a lot, my new office, and they installed a nice little unit out there. It's very sleek, very cool. You barely even notice it's there and it's fantastic. And it's because of community mechanical, communitydfw.com.

It's above a garage, right? So it's usually you had to have that up there. Yeah. And it's colder than my whole house. It's like everything up there is better the way we like it. All right. Give the contact info. I don't have that in front of me.

469-667-72 or community dfw.com and Travis will text you. You could text that number too. Yeah. It's not just like a personal personal connection. If you send him an unsolicited wiener pick, you'll get a free dumb zone t-shirt. He was thrilled with last time I pulled one of these. You got some business out of it. Okay. I don't mind.

So the Cowboys were doing their... We don't have to start there if you don't want. Oh, okay. There's a lot of sports. You want to start somewhere else? Yeah, let's start with this. We'll play good bit, bad bit. Is that me again, Blake?

Is it just going to be like that? You got a little buzz? Fine. Do I play? Play. This is from the Dallas Zoo, a video posted yesterday. Then put it in a sealed container and take it to a recycling drop-off. Number 2. Never dump used motor oil. Instead, pour it into a clean, sealed container and take it to an auto shop or recycling center that accepts hazardous waste. Number 3. The Edmonton Oilers are the greasiest, most toxic variety of oil and we don't want them

anywhere near Dallas. It's best to dispose of them quickly and with a clean sweep by scoring gold after gold after gold. And what is that from? The Dallas Zoo. The zoo? Yeah, I thought it would be like the oil change place or something. Yeah, so I think it's like the Dallas Zoo and like most zoos, they're more than a zoo. They're just about teaching you about environmental preservation and the like.

Mother Earth. It's funny though, cause in the video they showed a shot of this river that runs through Edmonton, which is, I didn't know it was there. It's not near water. But, they showed a picture of it and it looks just as disgusting as the Trinity. Like at first I thought, why are they putting a photo

of our nasty river in here? And I Google it, and there's a bunch of Reddit articles about how it's unsafe to swim in. I'm like, this is just our river. And we're doing a big, ooh, gotcha. But so the zoo got in on it. I don't know about sports mayor. Have we heard from him yet?

I don't think we have. Did we? Silence him? Shame. about sports mayor have we heard from him yet I don't think we have there we silence him shame did we walk did we walk him down a little bit because like I feel like his frequency of yeah no every single sporting event he had like an 18 month run where he was you couldn't tell him to stop yeah SMU TCU Mavs playoff round every round. He was betting on every round He was doing last year for the Stars too. So it isn't just that yeah cuz we heard somebody in Edmonton I feel like a police chief or something. Yeah when they played Edmonton last year

interesting I Feel like it goes on our dub list It's a crash. Maybe he's now focusing on all the potholes and filling them. Maybe. Or getting a new hat. But no, that was a fun one last night, man. I'll walk you through mine. I'm letting the kids stay up with me if they'll watch sports.

OK. And it's the last night of school. I didn't talk about that in the open today, but, uh, we're having kindergarten party at our house today. And I'm elated. Bounce house. It's the pool, man. The pool. We got a huge, like our backyard is sick. I haven't seen the redo. And, uh, yeah, we got like the, her teacher accidentally sent our address to the entire kindergarten instead of

just our class. So we could have 50, 60 kids over there. That's very woke. Can't leave anything out. Yeah, and it's funny because Nora was already like happy about the kids she knew couldn't come. Oh. I'm like, oh no. They're coming. Anyways.

So certain kids she just doesn't like and she wants them not to be there? Well, she was like, such and such said they were coming to the party and I don't think so. Oh. And I was like, I don't know, maybe. Anyways, I'm fired up about that. We're staying up late last night. He's fired up because when they have a kid, kindergarten kid swimming party,

you know who comes with them? Mommy? Yeah, the dads don't go. It'll be all mommies today. And they made sure a pool party in big letters. That's right. Bring your made sure a pool party in big letters. That's right. Bring your seat. Outside the pool party.

One parent required to be in pool with child. So we're staying up. It's 3-1 into third though. And there's a wraparound power play. And the first minute of that power play at the end of the second was about as dog shit as you're ever gonna see. It did not feel like their night, right? It felt very, for my Mighty Ducks fans out there,

it felt very, they're bigger, they're faster, they have more facial hair, but they've got the MVP and the guy who would win the MVP if that guy wasn't on his team, you know? Is McDavid the best player on earth, period? Yeah. Did you hear that Otter thing from last night? Here's what I remember about McDavid.

And McKinnon was like this a little bit, but I remember when we used to talk to Tyler, like in his first few years and into his mid-20s, and he would talk about him like he was Jordan. Really? Like he would be like, this guy's, that guy go work out with him in the summer, there's nothing like it.

Yeah. So weird when dudes do that. But Dreisle was gonna win the MVP. Yeah, he's awesome too. But McDavid did that move in the first period, I think, when he didn't score, and it's just like Jesus Christ. Yeah.

Like a sea of the best in the world, and he just stands out, I thought we were dead. And Miko has a little bit of that. Yeah. And I don't know if anybody, any other stars really necessarily do, but yeah, I mean, going into the third, and then I turned the television back on as the three-two goal was being scored,

and I was like, bright on the edge of bedtime. I really was like feeling. So you stayed up? Hell yeah. Okay. It was incredible, dude. Like I was speaking to Travis. Travis was at the game.

And I'm like, it all happened in like 15 minutes. Up until the empty netter, those four goals, it was insane. It was awesome. It was a lot of fun. I had to drive home where Bruce LeVine was saying, oh, you've got to score in the first minute here, because they had a power play. And I swear to you, I had a 10 minute drive home

and they tied it. Yeah. In that span. It happened really fast. That was really cool. That must have been nuts. Dude, the- Travis, the, just being there. I think that that's our- For a game like that.

You gotta give, the Stars fans are the best fans in Dallas. Annoying as they can be at times, but that's just because of where they're coming from. But that building gets national love whenever there's playoff games on it. Yeah, and the Mavs would get a little bit of that too. And I don't think people really recognize that as much, but the Stars, it's good fan base. I feel like the Luka thing has made people realize Mavs fans are awesome. Yeah, yeah. For sure. By that response. Can I give you a random thought I had watching that? Because I was thinking like football, super popular in Texas, because a lot of people

in the crowd grew up playing football, play football. Like in the Stars game, what percentage of the crowd played hockey at any point in their life? Do you count street hockey? I guess no. Then- And that versus in Edmonton. Yeah. What percentage of the crowd played hockey?

Meaning that sort of just inherently they do know hockey more than us. I don't, you know, whatever. And that's what is the fuel of better fans. They don't know hockey. I don't know that kind of thing. There's probably something to that. Like a novelty of, oh, a hit.

Because we wouldn't, same thing here in a football game, the Cowboys, more people know the game than the Calgary Stampeters or Edmonton, whoever their squad is, you know? Yeah, there's something. Thereby making you just more passionate about it because you just know more. Yes, I have to look at both sides of this,

because if I'm gonna carry myself, or if I talk to somebody from like the East Coast who didn't play, I'm like, dude, I've played Texas high school football my whole life. There's no way this is my entire life Yeah, there's no way you know shit about no shit or care as much care as I do so the flip side of it has to be true with hockey, but I remember when the stars came here there was like a a general education period It's like this because I I was, at that time,

I was playing ice hockey at Valley Ranch, back in 1994 and five, and it was like a, a thing of having to teach, dude, off sides is confusing, if you've never heard of it before, that was a real thing. And like, there was a view that people, and Pantera was on board, it was like, basically these fans just only liked this because it was hitting.

There was an idea that nobody here really understood. And it's probably true. And I remember that it's different now. Some educational talk would be from people saying, yeah, you say these are low scoring games, but this football game was 21 to 14. That's 3 to 2. Yeah.

So it's kind of the same thing. But you're right, for sure. You just can't help it. You can't help it. It's just kind of natural. Because I was thinking who it means more to. And it definitely, in Edmonton, they have one effing sport, one team.

I mean, not that it matters. But you're right, the core Stars hockey fans definitely know the game. But I think most people are just like in net yay that's it sure you know yeah which includes me basically yeah yeah Sagan got a lot of a lot of I don't know if it was plus-minus was it felt like he was out there for the first three or four of them was awesome that was good to see man him racking it on that breakaway yeah that was clean mean, he had a great game.

Yeah. I heard you guys talking about that the other day. Yes, just Ben and Sagan, how long they've been here and all that. And you kind of look at them as these old, the old dudes on the team who you don't even need that much from, but what they do do, Jamie does his little win the puck and back everybody up.

And then Sagan does pop up and score a little bit, man. They're still. They have just such a weird situation, but a lot of it's luck. But I was thinking last night, like Maverick Bork is not on their playoff roster like their best young Defenseman who played the like they have and then they mentioned Miko's deal every game you're like eight years Dude there when the last time you were like it's not just they went got a guy who's really good right away That does not first of all, nobody gives eight year contracts

except for the crazy ass NHL, and maybe baseball sometimes. But my point is just, this is a very rare deal where like, oh, it's this new thing, he's winning in the playoffs. This guy's going to be here until I'm almost 50. Isn't it weird in hockey that you can get old and still be amazing? Like compared to other sports, but I guess maybe LeBron or a couple guys do it, but hockey's the one where, maybe I'm just thinking of Ovechkin, but it seems like if you're good, and it's the hardest one, you know, like physically.

I think it's the one, I don't know, but this is maybe too general. I think it's the one where guys can change their game the most, and maybe it is Ovechkin, but I read and watched a ton of breakdowns of Ovechkin stuff over the years and how his spots moved Really? Like his spots around the ice that he could pick up because he knew he could get there. I'm sure it's probably even changed for

For McDavid. He's not super young anymore but yeah It's cool. I think we'll get Tyler on either After the season whenever that is. Yeah. Jim Nils done incredible with this roster, with the construction of the roster. And it's checking with players on the park. Just over the years, just to have been, it was built around Ben and Sagan. And now those guys are

still contributing, but they totally revamped everything yet still kept that. Right. But now it's they totally revamped everything yet still kept that right. Do you know? About our maybe very online, but stars universe controversy Is it the pound the glass guy bang guy? And I I don't know I want us to all Celebrating this guy who's a drunk driver Yeah, when the same season that so-and-so was killed by a drunk driver.

Johnny Hockey. Yeah. So this is a very weird, tricky situation, right? Because that guy, I think everyone generally thinks he's kind of a tool. You might even know that. The bang the glass guy? Yeah. Nick Muroke, his dad was a advertising guy broke

advertising And he went away Do we have to reset this or does everybody know the guys he should reset behind a goal? He wears a white suit. He's got front. He's got glass seats He's almost always got a very nice nice looking woman with him on his arm. He's wearing, like I said, a white blazer, green shirt. He's got a sign that says hashtag bang. He's a much more annoying version to some

than our Mavs fire Nico guy. Whereas he has turned this into a persona and a bit that works for him. And like the guys who host spittin' chicklets, the Barstool podcast, Ryan Whitney, Paul Bissonet, they know about him, they think it's hilarious, they talk to him, but it's one of those things where people in town who know the guy are like, ugh.

And then he goes off and gets, I guess his second, at least a repeat DUI that I believe involved a car accident sometime in the fall. This is not funny, but if you were to allow it to be, his account posted something like, bang guys on the IR dash DWI time to retroactive to November or something. And then the other day, he announced he was back.

Like the DWIR. Yeah. Yeah. So now he's back and the spitting chiclets guys had been asking about him. They asked some stars player, uh, the start of the playoffs about it. And it was, I don't remember who it was. It might've been Stankhoven who got traded, but he was like, yeah, here the guy is, uh, like not in society anymore. It was like, yeah, he's incarcerated. Probably a county type situation. Not in society anymore is the best way to say that.

I know, right? It's not currently in society. So he's back now and he's tweeting about it. Bissonnettes like, Hey, you're going to be at the game. But then the backlash starts. And here's the thing about DUIs. None of you want to admit it but the DUI is a fucking roll of the dice. If you drink alcohol, now obviously if you're getting multiple and you're getting

crashes like for example I'm an alcoholic I've never had a DUI. I think I drove drunk a lot less than most alcoholics do. But there are people who aren't alcoholics who are driving over the legal limit every day. And what we do is if you get in an accident, you're a terrible person. Or even if you get caught, you're a terrible person. It's a matter of scale.

If he had killed somebody, we'd be like, this guy's banned from society forever. And while you're more likely to kill somebody if you're more fucked up Shit happens. You could have had three beers at dinner. You're at point one. Oh somebody runs a red light you hit him You're now a murderer But if nobody comes through the stoplight and nobody stops you nothing happens if they do you're just a drunk driver I don't know how to sort all this out from like a pay your penance to society now if you get caught once and

then you do it again, that's kind of a... It is and this is where we get into the tricky deal of like what is addiction? How do you, you know, adjudicate it? Obviously if the guy's not getting help at all, then you deserve some punishment, but it is weird that it's just, OK, what if Johnny Hockey died three years ago? Does that make a difference? Yeah. Like, why does it have to be that someone involved in hockey? Yeah. Such a random ad hoc outrage.

I'm not even saying it isn't warranted. I'm like a bad guy for being like, what you doing junk driving? That's not what I'm saying. Internet outrage is not necessarily indicative of reality either. Yeah, but I think we do that too much of saying this is just the internet. I think people in general will be like, did you hear who got a DUI? Okay, well let me- You're like, yeah, okay.

When was the last time you had three wines at Keno and drove home? It happens. I want to transition into the internet outrage kind of outrage. I don't know. We're in another day now of RG3 versus Ryan Clark. Yeah, I love it. I like the tweet of, so a take foul

led to a biracial child reveal. Because that is what happened yesterday. We've talked a little bit about this story, where it was the Caitlin Clark hard foul on Angel Reese and blah, blah, blah. RG3 then saying Angel Reese clearly just truly hates personally. She personally hates Caitlin Clark. The Ryan Clark, no relation I don't think. No, safe assumption there. Steps out and says, well you're only saying that because you don't understand

what black women go through because you don't talk with black women on a regular basis let's just take a look at your last two wives they've been both white women and the current white woman that's like that's how you view her in the world when you tweet about her it's always in the sense of white and black and it is they often do tweet like funny bits bits with him and her. He'll dress up as her. She turned into a heeblah. It's all about milk and chocolate milk. It's weird is what it is.

But then it was, oh, you can't bring my wife into it. You've crossed the line. You've crossed the line. So now I guess this has caused internet to dig up some dirt on Ryan Clark and determine that Ryan Clark actually, he hasn't always just dated black women. He's got a baby from a white woman.

And so now, Ryan Clark jumps online and posts a bunch of pictures of him and his biracial child. And she's now like, 15, 20, I don't know, she's older now and it's just that I love her and she's been blah, blah, blah, blah. So it's just like, did the internet cause that to have to even, Ryan Clark lives on the internet, RG3 lives on the internet, and it's like,

oh, everybody now is talking about this, so I need to reveal my daughter. I don't believe it's true that he did need to put out those pictures. No, I don't know about the internet, not internet thing, but he's never hidden the fact that he has a daughter with a white woman. The idea that this is like a gotcha, like the idea that he's like, yeah, I spend a lot more time with black people than you do, isn't untrue because he let off in a pog once. Like that's not, that doesn't mean, I don't understand that.

People are like, yeah, you fucked a white lady, you know nothing now. It's like, no, I still am around. It's a very odd thing to me. But then the daughter thing, I feel like you're pressed and you know that she knows that she might feel like people are like, oh, are you ashamed? Yeah.

And then you've got to do the dad move of like, no, here she is. It's off scene all the way around. It's just kind of crazy where, again, I saw that play and I was ready this weekend to talk. Let's talk about this. OK. This is a thing. It's a hard foul. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, was ready this weekend to talk. Let's talk about this. OK. This is a thing.

It's a hard file. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, yes, it led to that. But the thing is now this is just how the information ecosystem works. Imagine it this way. Kyrie saw a tweet one time about a documentary about the Holocaust.

And that became a bullet point on his career. He just randomly saw that one day and was like, interesting or you know, the president will see something. And the next day we're opening Alcatraz like travels fast. The bird man. Yeah, that was a transition to football. Can we? Yeah. I was just saying that. I hope that story dies in a fire. Quick hit on

Apparently Bill Belichick's ex-girlfriend Confronted Bill Belichick's current girlfriend According to TMZ. Have you seen that? No the the older one? Okay, because last night the old older lady. I have not seen that last night the group chat was popping not only over my parlays but somebody's got to get the tell-all with her. The old girlfriend? Yeah and my thought is that she's been handed a bag not to do it but wouldn't you love a penny for her thoughts? Like hot 60 year old woman. TMZ says, Bill Belichick's ex-girlfriend Linda Holiday ran into his current one, Jordan Hudson.

While the two were at a Christmas party late last year, TMZ Sports has learned their meet up was anything but friendly. Oh, I love it. We got a little cougar cub fight. Yeah. There's no real hardcore details that we would like, but we're staying on this story. And I just want everybody to know that if something does break in this story, we will be here for you. We're also on the story of the Dallas Cowboys,

speaking of football. And every time we are doing a watching party, no watching party is complete Mike without Lone Star Beer Tom Bendris whose house we were at in Waukesha has a little Lone Star Beer display over there it's all set up this guy knows marketing the beer amid it is the pyramid but yeah 140 years of brewing in Texas I think that might even be not accurate anymore, because we've been saying that for over a year.

That or they went back in time and altered history and changed the date it started. OK, like the Aggies on their championships or something. Anyway, it's 141, I think, now. But you can go to lone star beer calm What's the promo code on that one dumb zone 21 dumb zone 21? Have you seen their merch like it? Dope stuff. It's awesome. Yeah circus Roy loves lone star beer to Dan. Okay. Heck. Yeah Delicious heck. Yeah. Yeah, so we're pro lone star beer

And I'm especially pro lone star light Because you don't keep this girlish figure. It's true. Without a little work. So what is this? OTAs, right? And voluntary. Shoddy wants you to know that for sure. These are voluntary.

They wouldn't be here if they didn't want to that's right. They didn't feel the the juice Star, it's right, baby time. So I Got a lot. I know you got some stuff too from some of the players. Oh, yeah. Yes So if any of this I was just like I woke up this morning. I was like, okay, so excited seriously, I woke up this morning and thought I was like, okay. I'm so excited. Seriously, I woke up this morning and thought, they're going to try to cover two guys named CD Lamb

and George Pickens with white guys. Like we might as well just have two receivers, our receivers named Black McFast. And your division rival has white DBs. I'm excited then Okay, so you told me to watch for something. Yeah I want the jersey and we're gonna hear a little of that in this first cut But definitely

It's just a new day shododdy is a different guy. Breath of fresh air. So what we will start with here, and you work in your, you've got some audio from some of the players who might, you know, second what Shoddy says on some of these things. We're gonna have some George Pickens talk early in this press conference. Newest Dallas Cowboys wide receiver. Is he a one? Now he never had a thousand yards yet but look who's throwing him the ball but you know they're they're trying to make sure that we call them both number one receivers. Anyway one of the questions is about George Pickens. Let's hear what Shotty has to say about him. Yeah I think it CD said it best I saw his comments right where we don't have a

a one that we don't do A's and B's we think that there's a one over there CD said it if you look over there there's a one there so I think that's the way that we view GP. Okay. Of course. All right. This just goes with the head whip. We're the Kevin Burr card of coaches. We're doing GP now, guys. Never had a chance. Yeah. This is the Kevin Burr hard. God, they even kind of look like the same guy, don't they?

My time with him has been just incredible. When he came in after the trade, just getting a chance to really get to know him. We had a little free throw shooting competition. I think he beat me twice. I've beaten him once but the last time we played I beat him. So I do want to put that out there that I did beat him. But it's really just you know us getting to know each other. I think we're all on board. You know I think we've we're always trying to find the right pieces and good pieces and I think we're really excited about what he brings as a football player.

But I see a guy that's maturing. I see a guy that we're excited to put out there and watch him grow and get better. And you guys will see him out there today. He obviously is a tremendous athlete. But I love watching him in meetings because in meetings he's been so dialed in taking great notes. He knows he's a little bit behind, not a lot, but a little bit him in meetings because in meetings he's been so dialed in taking great notes he knows he's a little bit behind not a lot but a little bit behind in terms of what the veterans are doing but his intentionality in the

meeting room has been really cool for me to see so that's what you told me to watch for possibly for a bingo word this year for shoddy press conference yeah I'm trying to buy low I'm trying to get the the the doge of bingo word this year for Shoddy press conference. Yeah, I'm trying to buy low. I'm trying to get the doge of bingo cards here. We know Jerry's trite, right? Yeah. Candidly, he'll do that one a lot. But Shoddy, I'm trying to sort of encapsulate what he is to me. And that word that he used there, intentionality,

I feel like that's gonna be a buzzword because I'm at a point where I listen to a lot of podcasts that are about mind, body, spirit, connection. Just like all, do everything with intentionality. That is such a fucking self-help buzzword and I know that he's that guy. You can tell by the way he talks that he is vibe guy. And it works on me.

But like the intentionality is a word you're gonna hear him use a lot, I'm betting. And I wanna buy low on it. That works on you? Yes. So I did listen to- A high school basketball coach vibe, that's what this guy has, yeah. I think he did a press conference during the rookie

OTAs like this happened a couple few weeks ago. He did a press conference. Yeah You see a level of maturity you see a level of professionalism I talked a little bit about you know, the reviews not installs and I think you know Most of the questions that were asked in the meetings, were the guys were on it. I mean, they had done their stuff. We haven't had any issues with guys being late. I think, but there's an intentionality about this group.

I knew it. I knew it. Jake had the fist up before it happened. I knew it. I knew it. There's been. Jake had the fist up before it happened. I knew it. I knew it. There's been an intentionality from this group. Yeah, and you know what that means? Think about what you're doing.

Right? Yeah. When you stop before you do something, be like, what am I doing? Let's be intentional about it and not just meander the F around. Great. But I'm telling you, that guy has been to a Tony Robbins

conference. Yeah, for sure. Paid $199. If we get to, if you have. Or rehab? For the meet and greet. Or is this not one of those things? No, no, it is.

Intentionality is big, and it's all kind of the same thing. But I don't think he's been to rehab, or we would have heard about it. But I promise you that if I did. Because everybody was always talking about Brian Schottenheimer. And we wouldn't have heard about it. He could have disappeared for a year, and you would have never known it. No.

If an offensive coordinator for an NFL team who is Marty Schottenheimer's son went to rehab, you would have heard about it. But yeah, no, I like intention like intentionality okay so GP GP we did a little free here from him real quick I like the free throw challenge too here's GP on the free throws I mean the first day I came up here we did a little show and I beat him then the next day he literally brought me up here only to shoot basketball and then he beat me.

Have you all done a dinner yet? Yeah we have at the Cowboys club. What did you stand out about that dinner just you and Shadi? Just everything. The culture too, that's the thing. It's super refreshing with a different culture. Texas brings a whole different culture. I like it. You know how those other teams all just want to play football and talk about football and winning?

It's refreshing to not like this is the opposite of people that leave the Cowboys and are like, wow, you go in that facility. It's about football. I know. That is all they care about. So when somebody leaves and they go to Buffalo, Pittsburgh, even Houston, they're like, Jesus, they just play football.

You know, the winning. And here, they get here and they're like, dude, GP can't wipe the smile off his face. And they ask him about it. And he was like, yeah, we were catching Pokemon together after dinner. Me and Shottie were actually just. Amazing.

We got them all. So where do they do? They have free throw contests at a football facility. Why? Where? We do some things in the team room. We do some things in my office. QBs, I just lost to the QBs in my office.

Actually, Dak was my teammate, so I guess Dak lost too. He'll be mad that I told you guys that. But yeah, it's just the central theme of the program is compete every day. And so we find different ways to do it. We look at you know what's going on in the world you know congratulations to the Stars. I think that's you know really cool for Dallas professional sports what they're doing. So at some point we might you know shoot at some goals with a hockey stick and maybe a soft puck not a hard puck.

But we look at different ways to compete and we did something for the Masters the other day that was pretty cool. Had a put off but get these guys in different types of environments and ask them to do different things. And it's fun to watch these world class football players that absolutely suck at shooting free throws. I mean literally like I'm not gonna say names OSA that But Okay, but he's fun. He is fun. It's a new it's a breath of fun

Hey, this is no bill Parcells. This is you guys help me come up with a word for this Okay, I don't I don't know it but it's happening right before our eyes and all I can think of is to call it the Boban effect. That's something Dan came up with in my mind which is one thing I really hate is when somebody's doing something cool and then you have to ask them about it and make it not cool. So Boban would come to an interview and everyone's like Boban you're so funny, how are you so funny and fun and he's like I don't fucking like I'm just me. It's weird. So they're doing this cool team building stuff,

but then it's like, how's Pink Pon going? Describe it. Have you guys been to dinner? Describe fun to me. Describe dinner. That's the thing. I think teams need to do this sort of stuff. I love it.

My entire life is built around, let's be a team. I think it's weird when you have to talk about it. I think we've only got one of these so far, but he keeps going back to the same well. Tyler Booker, who we're really excited about. I need to find out if the turtles are here. I don't know if the turtles are here. I need to ask him that, but getting GP was big for us,

but again, it speaks to GP. I think it's cool he knows about Tyler Booker's turtles. Do you? Who didn't? I didn't know. I told you, but I mean. He likes turtles or he has pet turtles? No, him and his girlfriend from Alabama own two baby turtles

and have an Instagram account for it. It's actually very funny. So Saad was asking about George Pickens. GP? Yeah. Well I think we did a ton of research into GP. You know again my interaction with GP has been incredible. I think he's going to fit in awesome with what we're trying to do here. You guys have talked to him I think over the phone and he's all about you know a new opportunity. So you know we all change, we all adjust, we all grow. I'm thrilled with the way the guys have responded to him.

Again, him and CD, it's a chance for he and CD. They've trained together. They're spending time together. I don't know what event they were at the other day. They were some baseball game or something. But when we did our homework on GP, we don't have those concerns. That's the thing. It's like if you come up with a nickname for someone having to then use it.

Hammer it in. Hammer it in. It just makes it not cool anymore. DP to GP is somewhere. Ty Walker making the t-shirt. ACDC logo. You want to hear, this is a real quick one from GP. I think we have a butchered cliche. Oh We have a source. Do you want to I think I did switch towards still not organs Blake's trying to be Johnny on the spot here So much to say about you and it's that person you are What is something that people don't know about you?

What do you want people to know about you or something if you don't they don't know about you? Oh, then I'm actually like a chill guy It's like all it's like a big okay, so he's a chill guy And then he's gonna try to come up with a metaphor for how people think of him God It's like all it's like a big phase of a tornado. That's not even true. I'm not a chill guy. Not just letter work, okay Phase of a tornado. He's a chill guy, but the perception is that he's like a phase of a tornado. You know what I mean, like the I?

It's a very strange collection of words. But not only do I want you to focus on that, the question after, because he mentioned the word tornado, someone's like, are you a tornado on the field? Oh. Two words. They don't know about you. Oh then I'm actually like a chill guy.

It's like a big phase of a tornado that's not even true. I'm not a chill guy and I just love to work. Are you a tornado on the field more so than? I wouldn't say that. Who was that? Kind of more disciplined. Play it again. Yeah.

But I think it was Glenn. Do the whole thing because you said like the phase of a tornado that's not even true. Yeah. Like I guess he's trying to say everything is chill with him. People think there's a lot going on, but there's not. That's what he's trying to say, which is what every single athlete that has locker room issues is what they say.

Like the media is making a big deal out of this. I'm like, I don't know, this is 10 clips of you assaulting your quarterback on the sideline and by the way when we do over-unders this year We need to set one for blowups Okay, and it probably should be a one and a half not half Is he pandering to us because we know or because there's a lot of tornadoes here. Yeah Hey people from the Midwest. I'm kind of like a tornado. You've seen him, you know about him. I'm kind of like that. Picking our local natural disaster. I don't know. Maybe. Like you show up in New Orleans and you're just like. Yeah, you know.

Kind of like this. Oh, then I'm actually like a chill guy. It's like a big... But it just started again. We're going to have a lot of fun with this guy. I just love the ghost tour courtesy. All athletes are really, really funny when they mildly are funny, but there's a bunch of reporters around there who all are vying for his cell phone number and some kind of a scoop. Yes, you are funny GP. Oh, then I'm actually like a chill guy. It's like a big phase of a tornado. That's not even true. I'm not a chill guy and I just love to work. Okay. I wouldn't say that.

Thought you'd say yes to that. Back to Shadi. Dude, there's nothing worse than being in a locker room or you're getting audio and you get the, I kind of thought you'd say yes to that. And you're like, well, didn't really have a curveball plan. Well, as you know, one thing that really does bother me in frickin' Yes or no's.

They do it on the Today Show. Yes, they will ask a question and give you both answers in the question. And then you can either say yes or no. It's a trap. The question should have been, what natural disaster are you on the field? Yeah, another word.

Or maybe disease. What do you liken yourself to? More of a Gaza or West Bay guy. What style of damage do you inflict? Shottie is not about tornadoes. He is about culture, above all. That is really what we are learning. Some guys you hire, like you hire Mike McDaniel.

Yeah. And like, boy, this guy, the schemes he is like, he is changing the way people are thinking about football. He is causing defensive coordinators to have to sleep at the facility to try and figure out, look at this motion. How do I stop this guy? What are they going to do next?

He'll take a player who's seemingly an average, but put him in a Mike McDaniel scheme and all of us, you know, shanning it. By the way, proof that people can be successful after rehab. That's right. So the point is, Shdy, no one's like, it's just all about that he just is fun. He's a vibes guy. Aura. So it's our job as a coaching staff to get these guys to hang out together outside of the building, spend time together in the building, get to know each other, get with the players, go to dinner, do things together.

Because we have to learn each other's stories and each other's scars so that we can truly learn how to work together and love one another and support one another. We're all gonna have good days and bad days and that's not just something we talk about, it's something we do. I take a lot of these guys to dinner. Why?

It's important to me. Do I have things I could be doing? Of course I do. But nothing more important than me getting to know some of these players. Oh, yeah. Was GQ calling for a sit down? I don't know how to do this on the bingo card.

But you've pointed out one, intentionality. We'll keep an eye on. Oh, yeah. I'm pointing out one that is just the nickname. Is he going to become Bro Hard? Is GP just the first of many? CD doesn't really count. No, it's a pass.

But I was telling you about this too. In fact, let me just play the end of that again. This is what to watch out for from Shoddy this year. Allow these guys to dinner. Why? It's important to me. Do I have things I could be doing? Of course I do. But there's nothing. So, do I go to dinner a lot? I do. I do. Do we order a little extra because it's the Cowboys black card? We do. Yeah. Do we like to eat

steak? Yeah. That's something we do here. Yeah. No, that's a good one. Does he also do the question and answer to himself? Do I go to a lot of dinner with him? Yes, I do. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Do I have other stuff to be doing?

Of course I did. And I don't, I mean, like again, what, what do you have? Yeah, go on. What else is? You have family, I'm sure, but I mean. So you want to expand on the dinners? Okay. Well, I can't tell you exactly where we'll be.

I do always pay, so that's cool. Oh, you sly devil. You can't say where you're going to be. That's a little shoddy. Silly shoddy. We didn't want you to say that in the press conference. Well, I can't tell you exactly where we'll be. I do always pay, so that's cool.

I do always pay. Self-admittedly, I'm the good guy. And I'm not bag so that's cool. I do always pay. Self admittedly I'm the good guy. And I'm not bagging on Cat here or anything. Our old boss at the ticket. We would thank Cat for paying when he'd buy he'd do the team dinner and everything. Yeah. And he did have to get it approved from Dan Bennett. So in a sense, I mean, Cat made sure, but Cat was not now less, like his portfolio is not, Shottie, he is not paying for anything. He has not paid for one dinner is my point. He is not paying, it's a Cowboys account.

The Cowboys are paying for this dinner. So he is taking credit for Jerry Jones money I do always pay we do change the menu up a little bit but we try to get four or five six guys together and just go talk about life football rarely comes up these guys we do plenty of football we do football all day long what I want to know is I want to know Why Javante named his dog what he named his dog and why okay? What did this story come from and all those things? I don't remember what Javante named his dog. It's terrible, but

It's not important bad example One example I have here Was like a human name though, you know, it's funny like George yeah, I wasn't listening. I think it was like a human name, though. It was funny. Like George, how it becomes funny with the dogs. Anyways, those are the things that I love talking about. And then for them to share their stories with their teammates allows them, when they're out there on the field

and they're having a tough day and it's hot and they're pushing through a padded practice at Oxnard, they're able to truly day and it's hot and they're pushing through a padded practice at Oxnard, they're able to truly Pull together and work together and I think that's going to help us finish games finish practices When you have a tough moment you have a tough stretch in the season you work through those problems because they believe in one another and more Importantly, they love one another All right. So I see what's happening here, a pretty full frontal assault of my Cowboys fandom,

which I expected, deserved, and it's warranted. But if I were to go into the Cowboys spin zone for you here a little bit, first, I'm a sucker for this stuff, for sure, because I actually do think in pro sports, getting people to care about each other is important. Sure. I actually do think in pro sports getting people to care about each other is Important sure I actually do think that and in the George Pickens Audio that I didn't play He said something that I've heard guys say in the NBA for a while, which is everybody's running the same shit

Now that's not to say that some coaches don't coach it better don't have tags off of things don't have you know curve balls off of plays don don't dress things up differently but I mean the modern NBA is the spread pick and roll like there's no you don't show up and you're like boy it's not like going from you know Alabama to Georgia Tech in college where they're running the option. The vibes matter and And I never actually felt like they were very good with McCarthy. I almost felt like at times they were better under Garrett. McCarthy was just like this weird,

like he didn't feel like he was part of the team. I know, but they still won football games. They did, and I'm not saying that they lost because of vibes, but I do think if you're going to have a bunch of young I don't know I mean yes I'd rather know about him because of his offense but but to me I think you and I also don't really want to hear about all these vibes but I think they're good I think you get vibes from winning like I don't think it matters that we went to three forks and had steak I don't think that's how I do like I think Luca had a good relationship with all of his Mavs teammates that

year because they made the finals, not because they all. Yeah. I mean, it's chicken and egg. I think you, you go through shared experiences and battles together and that forges that. But I just think you're more likely to go harder for the man next to you if you care about him. And that just happens naturally in high school and college. But it doesn't happen automatically in the NFL. So tough times.

It's the end of the season. You're pushing through that last part of the schedule. You got the Chiefs, the Life Teams. Now hold on, but we're trying to get through this. It's the fourth quarter. There's five minutes left. You're exhausted. The Patriots can pull on the man. We ran that hill

You know the extra the like we do the list a little we do a little you know Five percent extra than any other team and that's why we're able to finish these games the Cowboys You know what I know that Tyler Booker Never orders calamari. Yeah. That'll get him through. I know Tyler Smith likes strawberry cheesecake. This is what's so crazy over the top. Guys, I know we're tired. But remember, when Coach brought us in to play Hungry, Hungry,

Hippos, I think you guys are right. And he said if we score 35 points, we get CCs. Come on, let's do it. You guys are right. The prime patriots of their dynasty were not known for hanging out together at all. Free? No, I don't think didn't.

Gronk lived in a homeless shelter, right? Not like with one of his teammates. That was a big story. No, my point is, yes, Edelman, Gronk, Welker, Brady, like those guys were. Hernandez. Yeah, truly. Did you hear that story yesterday?

We're bussing with the boys as Gronk, like we heard he beat off in meetings you don't have to answer if you know why, and he's like, well, I mean, I'll answer because he did it next to me, it was hilarious. Oh, it was him? Yeah. That was who they were talking about?

Yeah, but so my point is just, last year, we come out of that year, and it's, well, DeMarcus Lawrence is in Seattle now, and there's some shit talking back and forth between Micah and D-Law, or Malik Hooker's pissed off about this or that, Demarcus Lawrence is in Seattle now and there's some shit talking back and forth between Micah and D-Law or Malik Hooker's pissed off about this or that like I don't really want a team of dudes who don't want to be on the team I think that's like it I feel like the Eagles have great have like a great Micah doesn't want to be on the team if they stop paying him

That's all Demarcus Lawrence was doing What do you mean? Oh, I'm saying, I don't want a guy who doesn't want to be on the team. Well, he didn't want to be on the team, because the Cowboys wouldn't offer him the contract. I phrased it incorrectly. I would say it was clear they had problems last year. Like when Michael Irvin says, I was hearing things all season,

but I didn't say anything because I didn't know it was this bad. And then it comes out like, yeah, they did not have a solid locker room last year. But do you think an accountability circle fixes that? Yes. Yeah, but do you think an accountability circle fixes that? Yes. Yeah, their starting quarterback got hurt.

And they had no running backs going into the year. And they counted on a lot of, like, there's a lot of really technical football reasons that they didn't do well last year. It wasn't because they kind of had guys who didn't get along and never ate dinner together. OK, yeah. I would say most analysts would say that.

Yeah, I think in general. So what are we doing the offseason to fix it? If you look at the best teams, generally, they're just kind of like solo assassins who don't really. Vibes could never break up a team. Playing as a team is good. OK, let's say a Gen Z, because this is what it sounds like. Every Gen Z manager that runs a company

does stuff like this. Tell me something that you did in pursuit of your weekly goals this week. If someone came in here and did that stuff to you and said, hey, I wanna know why you named your dog whatever. I wanna know why you named your daughter Nora. Let's all go out to dinner a lot. You would think that was gay.

No. The thing is, I wouldn't. This is. That's all go out to dinner a lot. You would think that was gay. No. The thing is, I wouldn't. That's why I'm the guy who, when I find out that my friend has a child due in two months, I'm like, damn, I don't know. This is the ultimate alpha man sport. I am that guy. And you should just show up for your job

because it's what you're paid to do. Dude, you know the reason that the Junction Boys existed? Do, do you think it was be it wasn't just because it was hard. It's that they are trying to form bonds with people. And now, the NFLPA and the collective bargaining agreement supremely limit the amount of time that football players can be around each other playing football. But do you think there were any 2 in 10 teams that also worked

as hard as the Junction boys? And they had lots of bonds, but they just sucked? I'm not trying to say that talent doesn't matter. It's a weird position for me to be in. But I am saying that the chemistry of your locker room does. But Aikman and Irvin had a good connection because they were good on the football field,

not because they were tagging girls in the White House. Your chemistry comes from all of this. Although they were. I will not allow this. This is fucking revisionist history. They did have the White House. The Cowboys won those Super Bowls because of the White House.

This is the house my entire thing is built on. My point is the Cowboys of the 90s were having orgies and hiding from the police. That's a good point. And they were unstoppable. That's a good point. What if Shottie reinstituted the White House? Then I would like him more. Yeah.

Done deal. But don't give me this bullshit about we went to the Cheesecake Factory. We can't have cocaine anymore. We have pickleball. And that's what I got to settle for. We got a switch and we got the... One more thing, because this is going to be the thing. Is this on the same subject as all? One thing, because the whole point of all that was dinners, getting to know each other, love, you know, learning. But the two actual audio examples you have were shoddy trying to think of the name of the guy's dog. I don't remember what his name was dog was.

It's not a good story. And the other part was GP when they asked him like, Oh, is there anything you really remember from your dinner with shoddy? He goes, man, everything, which is exactly what Alzheimer's people say, because I'm trying to stimulate their mind. We watch a movie. I'm like, all right, mom, did you like that movie? Yeah.

What was your favorite part? Everything. Again, same with the kid. Same with the kid. And that's the thing about how to ask questions, right? Like Dan was saying, if I answer it, if I ask it in a way where everything can be the answer. Everything was great.

We had 31 years since a NFC championship. OK, so when that streak is broken this year, we will thank the fact that in the locker room now is a ping pong table. Yeah, we just moved it in there because I want this place to feel. I don't like when people do that, like the chuckle of like, you found me out. No, you posted a picture about it on your social media. Everyone knows about it.

You don't have to chuckle like it was a big secret. The door, the media door hitch it when we open it. You put it there. You guys saw our laser light up ping pong table, huh? And also he's just putting all the games he's good at, like free throws, ping pong, all the shit he's pretty good at. How about put a head coach in the middle of the locker room? Yeah.

Yeah, we just moved it in there because I want this place to feel, I want our players to want to be here. I want our players to come in the locker room and for us to have to kick them out. And they have their timeframes that they can be here and whatnot. But I love playing ping pong. They love playing ping pong. It's fun to watch these guys compete.

It's fun to watch the interaction with the offense and defense. I want you to have to... I'm have to... You're watching too much film. You're lifting too many weights. I know I got to get home because my wife and kids and my dog name... You don't know the dog's name or anything. But, god damn there's a ping-pong... Alright, one more game. One more game. Yeah, one more game. Yeah. Sorry, honey, I was late. So a bunch of guys that make $7 million a year. I'm sorry, I can't leave. Dude, it reminds me of when dying to play more ping pong.

Shoddy walks in and he's, oh, hey, guys, somebody put Big Buck Hunter in the corner here. I'll try it. Hey, look, he's smashing up the top scores. And it's S-H-O-T-T. Golden teeth, hell yeah. I love playing ping-pong, they love playing ping-pong. It's fun to watch these guys compete, it's fun to watch the interaction with the offense and defense and watch the talking that goes on. The guys that can finish, that have maybe a nine, eight lead with two more points needed.

It's fun to watch those guys step into that arena and compete at things that maybe the world doesn't know they're good at. And that's one of the cool things that Micah does. He thinks he's the best ping pong player in the building. And there's a handful of guys that would disagree with that. Just giving a little ribbon to old Micah. I did, you know, 21 to eight, I beat him. I was actually recently reading a book about like the battles in Rome like the actual gladiator battles and what they would do true story

I is this hundreds of years ago true story in between fights. They would play jacks. Yeah They were just season of fun over here. It's it talking about shoddy. They would yeah, they would throw rings as they would play jacks yeah they would just see isn't it fun over here talking about shoddy they would uh yeah they would throw rings as they prepared to fight lines just to see these guys because it was a chance to see them in a different arena you know uh okay I got a couple quick ones for you here here's uh here's Dak on this the one problem I have is that Shotty's just Dak. Yes. And now I'm having to sort through both these guys who were pretty, in my opinion, competent.

What was the safe thing? So earlier in this, you heard a cut where he's like, you know, we might do free throws. I mean, the Stars are doing good. So we might do a little puck shooting. Soft puck. Soft puck. Don't want anybody getting into his hard puck.

And that's Dak for sure. Here he let a rare dirty word slip, which the Cowboys edited out, so it doesn't sound cool. We can't beep it. But he quickly went back into Osteen mode. Am I behind? Oh yeah, somebody actually asked him, like are you behind?

Like in prep, because you know. Which I do think is a good question until you think about it and the Dak answers it the way I'm up behind no no Left the season early I was her Excuse me. I'm off season start away earlier. So that's sorry. Sorry. Yeah, sorry for the language, but yeah Yeah, I'm rattled. I'm so sorry. I said sorry I said a curse word oh yeah he's doing a hell of a job he's doing a hell of a job great job in building the culture I mean look at him right there saying and dapping off guys and that's him you're gonna see him around the locker room he's doing about competing every day yeah yeah he's

that people up man did a pro. He doesn't just shake hands. No. Yeah, and I got a couple quick ones from CD here, and then we can take a quick pause. This for Dan, you remember, we didn't talk about the tush push on the other side, but as far as all the NFL rules that are being discussed and changed,

one of them was the swipe. Oh no. Oh the fingersnip thing. The fingersnip gang affiliation as Young Thug deals with his Rico charge. So of course we got to ask the man himself. Have you decided on a new celebration? Yeah but I'm not sure. I gotta wait. I don't know if it's gonna get fine so I gotta be careful with it. It's crazy. It's crazy. So Dan Newsell. Great question, son. That is a great question,

and this is a pretty standard question, but I think the answer, the last answer of CD's media availability is very telling because last year, he was not around at this time. The Cowboys were negotiating a hard line contract with him to make him the highest paid wide receiver not named Justin Jefferson. So he was asked. This time last year you were in a contract holdout and missed OTAs and early in the season

you said that kind of affected some of the timing stuff. I mean people downplay the importance of all this. How different is this for you being able to be here right away this year? The last time I had OTAs in training camp was 2023. What did he say? The last time I had OTAs in training camp was 2023. Saying you can just go look at my season when I had 135 catches for 1749 yards, or 1,749 yards, 12 touchdowns, and was an all-pro first team selection. Was because he was at OTAs and training camp,

not because his starting quarterback was healthy for the whole year. And that they had some pretty good running backs, and he had a competent number two wide receiver. They didn't have a competent two that year, though, did they? They didn't? Well, Cooke's, I guess. But yes, it was definitely't well cooks I guess but yes

It was last year, but I don't want to hear it from you though What do you mean? I don't hear from you because last offseason you correctly were like When they're Jerry's like, I mean, you know what? He wouldn't even be playing in these games He gives a fuck if we sign him and you were like, yeah He should be doesn't matter probably just doesn't matter to have then, dude, I got a reality check for you on all this. Do you not remember what was going on before Dak got hurt? They were averaging like bottom five in the league offensive efficiency.

They were dog shit last year with Dak. So yeah, I think 2023, they said it. Now what were they going to say? But two months into the season season they were like, oh Feels like we missed training camp. You know what they should do is promote that OC Well, they did But he wasn't really in charge. I don't know. I really can't punch myself out of this bag Maybe if they all want to play paintball together. I think that might honestly. Honestly, that is so in the cards in the next month. Dude, that's happening.

I was just. All right, before the quick break, let's just mention Ownwell. How's your internet? Is it working here? The better question is, how's my internet at home? Because last night, now that I finished my Ownwell property tax win, where they got me $1,969 back.

Last night I filled out the deal to have them check on all my bills. Oh yeah? I did it after the last night. I was like, what kind of a deal is that? Haven't heard back yet, but it was last night. Literally I went on their website, filled all this out and was like, yeah, why not? You guys are hot right now.

Now from what I understand, cause I haven't done that yet. I did the property tax thing. Uh, once you do that, like you don't done that yet. I did the property tax thing. Once you do that, you don't have to do it every year, right? That's what I've learned from my friend Blake. Didn't you say it just popped out of nowhere? All of a sudden, they'll send you an email like, hey, we just saved you this on your phone bill.

Yep. It works. Got a lot of people saving a lot of money. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. Ownwell.com slash the dumb zone. I don't know, we can pick a testimonial, but I've really never heard back from more people on a client saving money.

Oh my God. And yeah, I did it myself. We saved quite a bit. And it's not even, you know what, had they saved me $100, it would have been worth it, because I did nothing. Yeah. In the old days of the tax protest thing,

it's just not fun. All right, we're pro-Ownwell. Go Ownwell. Pro-Ownwell. Oh, all right. It's also not the name of the company, to be clear. The dumb zone generic summer event. Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.

It's time now the Thursday viewer mail follow- up extravaganza inclement fossil thing. We get lots of emails. And we like to read them to you now. It's brought to us, we'll make this whole thing by Early Bird. Yeah. Early Bird CBD. Let's all have a good thought for Early Bird and hope everything's going to go well. That's right. Got some new legislation. And because of that we have a new promo code. Oh, so watch you load up with DZ

So for this one's new for you so you know go into prepper mode early bird CBD calm use the promo code DZ 20 the reason these have THC in them which are they're nice two and a half milligrams THC it's a perfect perfect little gummy amount they're not for you if you're taking a drug test so yeah no early bird you know that if gummy thoughts you're into THC. Some gummy thoughts. You THC guy?

No. Interesting. No. Not at all. We can talk about it more in the news if you want. Do you want to talk about it now? We'll wait till the news. Just early bird.

I do have a quick gummy thought entry to the co-loc club word club awry What word what is that called? This guy says the co located word club, which sounds like what it's probably actually called for anchored words Okay, Scott says gamut. Oh, yeah, yeah, it's a good one from the gamut has that not been in there has it done We damn it is feels like a But yeah, is that went awry went awry things went awry something went awry You don't hear that off that Spencer. What's my I got one earlier today was it cordially invited? Yeah. Yeah, that's not

Hey, do you have that very honored? Can you pull the degree commercial up? Yeah honored. Can you pull the degree commercial up? Yeah. Got a lot of feedback on that. Okay, you got some as well? Here's the degree commercial that I heard during club shay-shay with Shannon Sharp, obviously targeted at an audience that's a little different than me. So we all made mistakes, right? My honor up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know degree cool rush deodorant, well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans. The greatest whole thing, it turns up sweat

and under protection when you turn up the effort. You get the idea, right? Yeah. It's kind of like, what if you can read, but not super well? Yeah, and we're only doing one take of this. Yeah, but I believe that's actually by design because it's supposed to sound like authentic or natural or not like oh hello That great. They're trying this

Whether it's working or not, but here's the end of the ad It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. I mean right there. Yep It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed So listen if you've never tried it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself. Yeah. And so my thought, the first guy, you know, black guy, trying to sound, not sound any type of way, just speaking and he's speaking to a, you know, a lot largely black audience I would imagine but the last guy they're reading the tag to me sounded Like all of the white kids that I grew up with and mostly bought weed from who were trying to sound like some of our friends

Who weren't white like head to your local Walmart or target and try to og degree cool rush for yourself Like if you said we said Blake said immediately, I think that's a black guy and I did too. Yeah. You say that's a white guy. Well, I now know it's not. Oh, but what I'm saying is I can picture a kid. I know exactly where his wife beater. I know exactly his tattoos. I know exactly how is probably. I know this person and that's how they sound. There was one of them at rehab his name as I said yesterday was just like many of the others I've met it was Chaz But and despite the fact I got support from VJ Boyd of like that's definitely a white guy trying to sound black It's Jeff Teague. Yeah, it's Jeff Teague and now that's obvious to me

But it sounds to me like a lot of the guys that I try to buy weed from and they'd be like it's like dude You're come on. What are we doing? There's a continuity error because it's tip. It's obvious to me. But it sounds to me like a lot of the guys that I try to buy weed from and they'd be like, it's like, dude, come on, what are we doing here? There's a continuity error, because it's a different voice actor. It seemed like this is, oh, this is someone they paid for the commercial. Or to at least read the tagline. Right, that's why I thought,

why are they using Jeff Teague? He doesn't identify himself as Jeff Teague, but in any case. Yeah, that's what I got one email that said it was Jeff Teague. I figured Jake was hip to Black's Twitter slash NBA Twitter. Jeff Teague has definitely had a big year. He's one of the best storytellers out there. And he played on a lot of teams.

He's great. I thought that was Jeff Heath when I first heard it. Jeff Heath. I thought that was Jeff Heath. No. I first heard it. Jeff Heath. Blake played a clip for us from LoneStar 911 last week, where a guy gets stuck in a cryo chamber.

No, you guys posted it on your channel. Yeah. He gets stuck in a cryo chamber, and Rob Lowe tries to save him with chest compressions, but he caves him in like he's a glass table. Ryan emails and says that he watched every episode. Like he got really into it. Okay. And he said, it's got every cliche you can imagine.

He also says this, I watched it originally for Rob Lowe. I'm not gay, but come on, it's Rob Lowe. I feel like that's extremely gay. Being like, oh look, Hugh Jackman's in another series. I must, I gotta be right there. There are no guys that you've said, you know what, they're always good in some, like.

Yeah, Walden Goggins, but is Rob. Like if I see Rob Cordray in something, I'll watch it, cause it's probably good. Oh yes, but if that were like Fabio. Like Robowe's someone because he's he is hot. He's not I Said that's why I watch The Lakers draft so I can see Their GM whatever his name is Polinka. Yeah It's Rob to write should let J. Moore do it

They gotta put J more on the dais at some point. He says there's an episode with a bull at a car dealership in season one. I feel like we might wanna check that one out. But I remember hearing about this. This show moved from Fox to ABC, because Fox canceled it, but he had a contract.

And like ABC was somehow able to pick it up instead of canceling the show, but in that specific episode- It was on Fox, and now it's on- that's weird. Yeah. I've never heard of that. Or maybe the 9-1-1 franchise moved from Fox to ABC, but this one stayed because of Fox- because of Rob Lowe, but the point is in that episode where that guy gives chest compressions to the frozen man,

Rob Lowe was banging that guy's wife and was tried for murder. Oh. So we all thought it was insane. We're like, this is the craziest scene of television I've ever seen. Oh, so it's even crazier. It's actually Rob Lowe was shooping that guy's wife. All within one episode? And they thought that he was trying to kill him, so he actually did it.

It was a murder trial. We might need to watch that shit. know we have the time it dude it's good that you know there's like state fair episodes oh yeah it's got to be great it's got the merry-go-round cranked up to yeah and he's catching it was a flight gave us a good show what was the show he told us to watch yeah I'm so sure has a new like action comedy show. What was the show he told us to watch? Yeah, Tom Segura has a new action comedy thing. So I watched the last, he told us, it's six episodes. Watched the last one.

I watched it last night. It was funny. Was it? Did you see it? No. I've not heard good things. Really? OK, well, I enjoyed it.

It was 17 minutes. That's good. If you want to tell me to watch something. That is good. And you want to tell me to watch something. That is good. And it's 150 episodes and they're all 49 to 58. Yeah, you're gonna be like, that's tough. But this is six episodes. They're each like 17 minutes. Yeah. The first one I watched I am amused by so I'm gonna probably keep going. I'm gonna plow through that whole thing. I'm gonna binge watch him. Dude, you know all the cool terms, man.

You definitely are a... Thanks, man. A hip entertainment fella. Scheduled text is something we were talking about recently. Yeah. And Ryan says, Uncle Hotmail, it's a game changer. During the Rose Bowl halftime show, I sat there and scheduled out happy birthdays and happy Mother's Day and all that bullshit for the entire year. Wow!

I also send myself scheduled texts if I have to do something the next day or remember something for work. Or if I need to text my wife's mom for whatever reason, I schedule it for 5 a.m. so she thinks I'm up grounding. But I'm really sleeping till noon. Man, up till that last part I was on board, that's stolen valor. I used to get really mad because J. Billis would do this. J. Billis would post a Jeezy lyric at 5 a.m. every day and end it with gotta go to work.

And I know he wouldn't always, I know those were scheduled. Once I found out about him, because he'd be like calling a game in Hawaii or something and you're like you were up So that's scheduling a tweet or something. Yeah, it bothers a shit. Can you do that? But okay, I'm gonna do that We do it all the time. Yeah, most of our tweets are scheduled. Really? All right. I'm going to the gym on the way home today and I'm going to take a quick selfie and Then schedule it for tomorrow morning at 515.

515. Well, and just hashtag rise and grind. Yeah. 513. Gotta get it. You don't want to look like you're cheating. Yeah, yeah. You can't do it on the fives or zeros.

Oh, okay. Now honestly, I feel like Jay Billis's used to be like 502. Yeah. And I think the gym opens at five because once I woke up, you know sporadic sleep Oh, yeah, and I woke up at 430. I'm like, you know what? I should just go to the gym I mean I did but I'm telling this great story about how I thought about going to the gym that early one day So I looked up Ashley says

At the PGA.GA. See Scotty? I did. Actually says someone shouted fire Nico after Scotty's tee shot at the ninth hole. Really? Yeah. Nice. Saw a little chatter about that. It's nice.

I got a really long email. This could be my last one. Ever? No, no, just like of today. There's no way to read all of this, but it is from a man who identifies as a black man. Yeah. His name is Brian P.

Basically he says, love you guys, this isn't your fault. But I'm not sure this is regarding Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese where I did declare what you know the final word on everything and I know what Angel Reese is thinking. You were out there for sure and and I know that none of the fandom around Caitlin Clark is because she's white. It's because she's this exciting dynamic player and my you know evidence to support that is Seth Curry is not white and the world fell in love with Seth Curry. Steph Curry sorry because of his the style of play and if you do watch Caitlin Clark it's incredible. I think I think it really stands out in a WNBA game. She's

scooting around, she's doing this, she's moving off the ball, she's firing up logo threes. She's great. No, it's intoxicating. Listen, there's a reason that Trey Young was a more exciting player in college than the NBA. Remember how obsessed he is? Because Trey Young in college, it looked like kind of how a WNBA game looks, where one guy doing stands Way, he was the next step with people. Yeah, I mean dude. I saw Andrew Nimhart do this last night You know it's a not common, but in the NBA now It's different weren't they measuring how far Trey was shooting it over there put it on the screen right it was crazy So anyway Brian says love you guys this isn't your fault, but I'm not sure you really communicate a lot.

Or with a lot of black women on a regular basis. So as a black man with many black women as friends, relatives, lovers, et cetera, I feel the need to shed some light on this thing. OK, OK. If you go to my Twitter right now, I lover. You guys can see. Some years ago, I had a daughter with a black lady. That's what you wanted this to happen,

that's where we are. Yeah. Anyway, it is a lot about just really good email about you don't kind of get it, and it's kind of silly to say that her being white has nothing to do with it. And I do have to agree with that. Yeah, I've never. I find myself trying not to piss people off when it comes to this because people will say,

like, well, this one's not about race. But if you say, well, actually, everything is, you sound weird. But when I say everything is, what I mean is just everything's about everything. But then we go story to story, and we're like, that one's about race. That one, not so much.

And I just don't think that works. And as a white male, it's like, how am I going to be like, this is how I'd feel if I were a black lady. So I just kind of say, I don't know. And a lot of things, though, and I think we all do it, but we project our own feelings upon what I think all of society is thinking, because I am a good barometer for every

man. You know what I really don't think it has anything to do with it for me I think if she was you know and I believe in ease but playing the way she or Sudanese really? Extra black people? Frankly, you told me yesterday that You told me Steph was light skinned and that meant a different thing, perhaps, right? Yeah, I think it generally has from a marketability thing. But yeah, I don't feel like I had the same opinion you did. And then the guy sent the email to both of us,

so maybe I didn't state my point, or accurately. I think it's definitely there's a race part of it. But I don't think my point, but, or you know, accurately. I think it's definitely, there's a race part of it, but I don't think that's all it. I think Angel Reese is an asshole. I think she's an asshole of a basketball player, which frankly, I don't mind. Oh, I love it. But you have to- I think she's great.

You have to know what comes with the territory though. But also, if she wasn't an asshole with this particular rivalry, I'm not sure you would know who Angel Reese is. Yeah. And my evidence, I will point to a hundred, two hundred, seventy-five other WNBA players. I have no idea. Yeah. I know there's lots. There's more than like ten. Don't know how many teams there are, all that. Anyway, Brian ends with, in short, nothing wrong with y'all riding for your plain Jane bomber. It's just weird AF to pretend it's not because she's white. If incredible feats by

women athletes were all it took to get white people interested, they would have stopped by the channel for Brittany Griner. I gotta admit, I did. When I heard about Brittany Griner, this is a chick who could dunk and all that, and I did, I'm, okay, let's watch some Brittany Griner. But I think Jake said this the other day, bigs are not that fun to watch. No. That's a big part of it. And yeah, I didn't watch a lot of it.

And then I learned she smoked pot, and I was like, I am out. I am out. Just in case run-the-ball guy Blake is made uncomfortable by these declarations of blackness. I will close with a list of white people I love. All right. Okay.

This is from Brian P. Tony Hawk. Okay. Anne Hathaway. Yeah. Dirk. Ruth Buzzy. That one scans. Yeah, you know that lady.

She lives in Southlake or Colleyville or somewhere. I've read that one. I'm not sure. I don't scans. Yeah, you know that lady. She lives in Southlake or Colliville or somewhere. I've run into her. She's like a really old, like a Catskills type. Laugh-In.

You know you've heard about a show called Laugh-In? Yeah. That was like popular before I was conscious of knowing what TV is. Died three weeks ago. Oh. Are you guys going to be OK? Well, thanks for having me. Yeah.

Tonight on Cirque. Yeah, we got to run down and shuffle. The one where Ruth Buzzi dies. Who else? Is your title tonight. Who else? Boy, I thought I had. OK, Ruth Buzzi, Tom Hanks.

Fuck, that's good. Yeah, who else I thought I okay Ruth Buzzy Tom Hanks Josh Hamilton before he started free-basing and The juggy AT&T girl Melania Vines we can all get a great list right here. Yeah. Yeah, that covers them She's a soviet. They're good people So he likes the most likable white people that exist on earth basically. I got a few... And... Dan and Jake and Blake. I mean, we fit right in with those guys.

Yeah. And Saroy. Yeah. Well, he didn't say he listens to Saroy. Email back longer. Geez. Sorry. I'll just add my name to the list, then it'll be a longer email. Another anchored phrase or fossil phrase, whatever you want to call it, mongering. No, I hate when everybody's always sex-mongering. Yeah, how did that happen? Fear only. What's the opposite of fear?

Fishmongers. And that was the only... What does that even mean? I don't know. Rob did say it's either fear or fishmongering. We have a submission from one of the Discord peeps. This is from Tyler, who sends this in for things that sounded dirty that probably weren't intended to be. Look at this place. They've gone bananas. So this is after... Probably the 5-3. I'm gonna forget which goal it was. It was not from last night.

Oh, okay. Look at this place. They've gone bananas. American Airlines Center is throbbing right now. The jet's coming all the way across the ice stop Second part don't know why the broadcast cut off. Yeah, that's a good one throbbing and clearly a Penis reference from for Marmand Darrell. I uh, I was waiting last night again Blake with baited breath For a sounds dirty involving the Edmonton Oilers player with the last name Hymen.

Yeah, they did highlight him for a few minutes there. There has to be, as much ice time as that guy gets, there has to be a Pops to Hymen. And weren't they showing that he had a record amount of hits? Yeah. 11 hits on my cut. It's all right there. It's gonna happen. We're gonna get one.

This is the time we need a Name rate from Jake Okay, could you have Jake rate our daughter's name? Her name is Eleanor T. Drury. What is jewelry or last name? Yeah, T is her middle name T Which is Vietnamese spelled T. Hi. I don't care how they spell it that's a great name. I like Elinor. Elinor is phenomenal. Lenny for short. Oh but you have a Nora too so you you're into the classic there's a this feel like. I should know this is early 1900s right? Like is it short? It's just Nora. Nora June. That's solid. That's a sweet name. Three straight four letter names.

Quick, efficient. Yeah, yeah, sure. Norjee and Kemp. That's cool. And then my final one, which is also a long email, but it's from Dummy Grant, who a little backstory story. I ran into a psychic in the wild who was quick to tell me she was a psychic.

You didn't walk into her establishment with a neon palm out front? No, we were waiting in line at a carnival, which I guess I was asking for it to run into a psychic by being there. But I just had a few confusions over, she said she was divorced, how'd you not see that coming? Okay. Yeah. She's a smoker, so I guess you must know you're not gonna get lung cancer, so you're good there Granks the grant said that his mother-in-law new mother-in-law is a psychic. Oh, no. Oh God

He's got some stories so his father-in-law Recently lost his wife Was in a down place had some friends take him out to a bar And this lady approaches him and says I have a strong sense that I need to come talk to you tonight They were engaged two weeks later, dude that it just vulnerable Such a wounded animal anything walks over and you're like, okay. I'll listen. Yeah, you're gonna believe anything. She says Is he a man of wealth and taste I? read on She pulled a Dax wealth and taste? I read on.

She pulled a Dax fiance and said that they cannot stay in his current house because of the ex-wife's spirits were alive in the house and were not pleased with the living arrangement. They built a new home and psychic lady goes from low income apartment to a new build in two years. It's not me. It's the spirits are not pleased.

I'm fine with this whole setup. You have to. This is great. These ladies are being catty. You have to feel this in here. I know you can't hear them, but they are up to no good. Yeah. Plotting against us.

I see why you left them. Grant says, so a few things that she's missed on recently. Oh, his talons. This is his new step mommy. Oh, he's Italian. This is his his new step-mommy. She asked for a photo of me the first Thanksgiving we met. She says, oh wow he's an old soul and quite a bit older than his wife. Grant is 28 she's 27. Well she says I can tell that you're an only child. Grant says I'm the oldest of four. She says he did can tell that you're an only child. Grant says, I'm the oldest of four. She says, he did not grow up around here and traveled really far to be in Austin.

He says, I came from Grapevine. Well, you know, it's relative. The best would be the audio of the cover job after that. I can tell you're an only child. I'm the oldest of four. But you felt as if in that time when you were alone by yourself. Yes, you felt alone. Yeah.

A lot. I feel like, well, yeah. You felt alone? I feel like this is a- Wait, so this is Mother-in-Law? OK, this is his wife's- Yes. I was thinking it was his stepmom, but-

I feel like this next one is sort of the plot of a TV sitcom because they took her to an escape room That's a lady easy Be easy right there. There was a pencil box on the desk She picked it up three minutes into the session and did not put it down saying I can feel this is important in helping us Get out of here. No Grant says there was no importance of that fucking pencil box. Can you imagine having to humor this lady? Like this is worse than Jordan Belichick

If you're Steve Belichick, I mean seriously dude, this is this because they're convinced they have this divine power or whatever. I'm like That's incredible. This could happen. Maybe probably couldn't happen to Dan but like this could have happened to Vita in the last ten years. Yeah. You meet somebody and they're like, hey I'm a soothsayer. I uh... And you know again, this is how old people get scammed. You want assurances and certitude. This lady thinks she has it.

She also probably gives like incredible head. I was gonna say, it could happen to me. I mean, I don't know, I'm just saying, this guy's old. His wife leaves him. He's down. And he's like, all right. The little gypsy outfit, jugs hanging out to him. Why not?

Oh, yeah. Do they believe or do they know that? Is that a 50-50? Do some of them believe that they're being honest? You're asking, do they know they're scamming people? I don't think they do. Is it subconscious? Is it something you've done for so long You never had like a kind of weird girlfriend that felt like they were like doing energy with crystals and fucking

Aligned with the universe. They're not making that it may be bullish, but it's not you know Why does it feel like Jake has had more of those girlfriends than we have? Because I have Yes, like well, why is that? those girlfriends than we have. Because I have. Yes. Like, well, why is that? But there's also a line between horoscopes and crystals and all that shit versus I can read your future.

Yeah, but it's not that. I can convince you to give me money to do so. You think that's a thick line? Because I don't. Maybe that's the difference. I don't think it's that thick at all. I bet Vida's been to it. Most definitely.

Yeah, and you know my backstory here with my wife's family. I have voodoo family. Yes. My wife's stepmom, I believe, I don't know if it's still, but gets her palm read like it's an appointment for a massage. It's regular. Like some people have a personal trainer every week. Or a therapist.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what she does. And then he says, I'll end with my biggest gripe. Wow. Now keep in mind, Dummy Grant just got married. I think his wedding was in January. He said, uh.

Slam queen, right? Yes. Yes, quarantine slam queen. Asta. Says, uh, his sister's. I'm confused of who this is. His sister's brother brings home a girlfriend to Christmas. Psychic lady says they have a great spiritual connection

and that she, the new girlfriend, will need an invite to the upcoming wedding. Now that, as you know Jake, takes a lot. The extra invite is a lot of pressure. Austin, re-arrange. And so she does that in front of everybody? Now they have to. Yeah, like, yes.

That is not her place. So Grant says my wife has to rearrange the head table, pay for the extra plate, blah, blah, blah. Stencil another stone with her name on it. Sure. Not only does she not show, Oh! He, the brother, doesn't even even show which screws the math of the

wedding party but it begs the question how did she not see that one coming? Yeah that'll work. Oh my god. That'll work. That's incredible. All right well there it is. The Thursday viewer mail follow-up extravaganza inclement fossil thing don't don't don't don't before we go to news We did want to highlight underdog fantasy, yeah Underdog it is a it's kind of like fantasy sports Yes, you go there and you pick a couple of different people in sports, and then you pick like some categories, like whether it's points, rebounds, assists, that kind of thing, and then you pick them.

They'll give you like an over-under on a number. Mm-hmm. Okay? And then you pick them against someone else. It could be in the same sport. It could be in the same game. It could be a different sport. But then you just pick an over-under. It's a, I don't know, same sport, it could be in the same game, it could be a different sport. But then you just pick an over-under, it's a, I don't know,

do they have over-under's in golf? Absolutely. Scotty doing whatever. Yeah. So and then pin them against each other, or kind of with each other, right, as a parlay. Yeah. And then if you get them both right, you can win even more.

Or if you make it three, you'll win even more. It's a lot of fun, actually. I love underdog, it's great. It is. I've beendog. It's great. It is. I've been playing quite a lot lately. Download the app. The promo code is dumb zone to unlock a special offer of up to a thousand bucks in bonus

I simultaneously watched three sporting events in completion last night. I watched Nick's Pacers, I watched Rangers Yankees, and I watched Stars Oilers. Now, we didn't win on the night.

Now, we have. Initially, I think I started with 100 bones, and by some random chance I was up to like 800 bucks. Oh. We're back down to 100. Yeah. But, last night we were a Pascal Siakam rebound, point or assist in overtime from cashing in

for about 700 bucks. Because I had already hit the Yankees pitcher strikeout over. Jalen Brunson points. Uh, saves. I had all three games tied together. Was Brunson 28 and a half. Yeah. Yeah. And I was locked in and it was so much fun. I was watching the ranger game late solely to see if those would pay off. It's a lot of fun. You get some late sweats, dude. We need so one rebound.

And it's like, Jesus, please. Did you see how Nick's Pacers ended, Dan? Oh my God. What happened? OK. So I don't even know the numbers, but I was watching it live. The Pacers were down like 14 with two minutes left.

Yes. And they just start drilling threes and forcing turnovers. So now they get to a point where they get the ball back down two with what, six or seven seconds, Blake? I am sitting at 27 on a 28 and a half for points, rebounds, and assists for Pascal Siakam. I'm at 27. Okay, this is.

And Halliburton, they're're down to runs down the floor tries to shoot a three the ball hits the back of the rim Bounces about 10 feet high and comes back down through the net Yeah, I'm like, okay game over buzzer beater. The Pacers just walk this off. I'm going under They look at it. It's a two And I'm like, holy shit. Toenail on this try. Overtime. Yeah, and then you're good. Easy, I need one rebound and one point for overtime.

He doesn't touch the ball in overtime. I got gifted five more minutes and he didn't touch the ball. But it was a great night of sports. Download the Underdog app, sign up with promo code DumbZone.

What do you got? Yeah, my favorite, the Halliband.

The Halliband is really good, but I was asking the homies this morning, like is nobody, am I too old to see the obvious Halliburton 9-11 thing? Am I too old to see the obvious Halliburton 9-11 thing? Because like in 2000 to 2004, that was a hot topic in America. Like, oh, we went to war so that Halliburton could rebuild. But I think that makes me an old man.

I told you guys. Did Halliburton do well after? Are they doing great? You know what? They bankrupted after Iraq. That was such a, they misread the market Because I haven't heard about him since yeah I just assumed that Halliburton after that shot did the Reggie Miller choke move to do it near a crowd it was so

Awesome. Yeah, and the double hand folded in overtime. I want the width the Knicks to win to be honest That's like the best rooting interest I have left. Yeah But it was sick. He was a great night car. Wow No, I wouldn't be mad at it. Yeah, I told you guys I went to a kindergarten Award ceremony. I think is what it was called on Monday Pretty peaceful but yesterday morning. Oh, this is morning in Fort Worth, at a kindergarten ceremony slash graduation at South Hills Elementary, we had a fight and a stabbing. The... What city?

Fort Worth. Oh wow. Not a great part of town, South Hills. of town, South Hills. During the school's outdoor awards ceremony, we have two adults in an altercation, and one person stabbed and taken to the hospital. OK, at least it was adults. Right.

It wasn't kindergartners fighting and stabbing each other. They grow up so fast. Yeah. You don't often hear about the fight away from sports. The parent fight. Especially like a morning non-alcohol induced, you know, alcohol will help fight. Sure. Why did you just trump?

Did I? Alcohol will help with fight. THC in Texas. What's the story? up with fate. With fate. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. THC in Texas. What's the story? Okay, so I know the story as it reads, which is that obviously there was a bill in the house

that passed Wednesday night, and that one, well the original house bill was not as restrictive. It wouldn't full stop ban all THC products. There was some restrictions on it. That's a yay. That was a yay, but that's not what passes. The Senate passes their bill, and the Senate's bill is straight up, we're done.

What's up with that? So I was trying to look at when does this go into effect, or what's the what's the way forward here so I stopped by my shop on the way here and the guy I think works there. It's a pet shop type vibe you know. It's a vape store. Mike does. I was like so what's good like what? Like, what are we up against here? And he's like, it's not even in effect yet. I was like, OK, well, when is it?

Can we stock up? Like, what should I do here? Like, you know I like giving you guys a little business. What are we doing? Is this pandemic toilet paper? Do I need to hold back a room? He's like, it's not a big deal yet. I'm like, all right, well, you don't seem to have any urgency

here, so I'm not freaking out. But he's like, OK, then we should. The flight attendant's not freaking out. right, well, you don't seem to have any urgency here, so I'm not freaking out. Yeah. But he's like, OK, then we should. The flight attendant's not freaking out. No, no, no. But what's sure is it's going to happen. He's like, it just has to go back to the house, and then they'll go back to the city. He's like, it's just going to take a little bit of time. So that's where it stands right now.

There is something that I've been made aware of called the Texas compassionate use program Okay Then I think might be like medical situation. Yeah, I'm gonna point I'll report back. So does Texas have medical? I'm about to find out. Okay, cuz I've always heard I don't think so like Oklahoma does Yeah, we'll see or is it like support animals. You just have to convince someone to That that's what it's for. Yeah, there's usually. Or is it? This is like support animals, you just have to convince someone that that's what it's for. Yeah, and there's usually people that'll do that, right? Yeah. Yeah.

But yeah, that's a... Like if you need someone, an economist to come in and say that this new stadium is going to be great for the community, you can find one. Sure. If you need a doctor to say that... Yeah. It's a weird the stress of what you're going through warrants a medical card you'll find one you know

obviously the headwinds we're dealing with here are that gummies and the way that pot is consumed not by like flour is way more popular now. And that creates dosing issues because previously, like you could get better weed, but you pretty much knew like to get higher, I just have to smoke more weed. I was not against. It was like gummies. So in the beginning of the gummy world,

somebody brought me back, like early bird is 2.5, right? Mm-hmm. Milligrams, grams, milligrams? Milligrams, milligrams. Like the biggest, I guess somebody brought me back stuff from Colorado. And you might say 10 is just a common, somebody will go go with 10 and that's like a lot for some people Not a ton for some but like basically

10 is kind of a good starting point. I think Or a good gauge like even if you're into the 2.5 like 10 is not gonna kill you're not gonna You know be puk, projectile vomiting type thing. But in Colorado, they would sell like a piece of a hundred or an 80 or a 50 or but and they all were the exact same size. And that was the problem. It's kind of like chips in Vegas or something. You don't know that I'm spending 2000 here because it's the same as the two dollar one.

So I thought that was bad. I saw that early on. And then I think I went to California and they said, oh, these are all regulated to, you can only have 10 milligrams per any piece. So if you sold a pack that says it's 100, it'd be 10 piece. Nothing could be bigger than 10. And I like that Yeah, that makes sense just because then you would at least have some kind of a gauge

Whereas now I think it's kind of like every state's different though and Just whether some one a piece is 50 or 10 or that's a big difference Mm-hmm a big difference sometimes they have the drinks too with like a hundred in them and there's like lines on them like drink this much for ten but how many people just chug the thing. Or don't yeah don't really know don't read it. I went on a cowboy trip to Seahawks game and I wasn't doing any THC so I didn't need it but someone in our media family was very excited to bring back a shitload of gummies, you know?

And I fully supported it, and I was kinda laughing about it. I helped them at the store, you know? Because the planes, you know how the planes are different? I mean, there is security, but it's not exactly. Yeah, they're not searching desks. So, and you do your, we did it, your bags, you had to check from the hotel into the bus

that would be on the plane, basically. You know, it's very shoddy how they do the bus that would be on the plane basically. You know, it's very shoddy how they do the airplane security, but they kind of do it. And they line, you have to line up all your bags, you know, and then they bring the dog by and they're just looking for bombs. I'm quite sure which that discussion of, you know, what do you smell? What is this dog for? You know, are they for everything or are they just for somebody free to have no, no, but it was funny when I saw the guy put his bag down and the dog, I'm like elbowing him like, oh shit, here we go, about to get, and then I'm like half the team probably did the same thing.

It's a load up and these bags are packed with gummies and shit anyway. And I also think, and I'm pro pot, you know, I'm pro legalizing that and all that. But there is a thing. It's like if they put grain alcohol or beer or anything in a Sunny Delight pouch thing, I think that'd be bad. And they have some of these gummies are in like literally it looks like a little now and later pack or something. It looks like candy. I know, but I think we're kind about a couple different things, I think,

because now we're talking about somebody mistakenly eating it, right? The Skittles or the Jolly Rancher. Well, either the kid doing it or you just accidentally eat 100 when you're... Well, the eating 100 thing, the wrapper doesn't matter, because you're trying to get high and you just didn't read the label. That's a separate deal, but both are a problem. They do make it hard to get into these days. From what I've understood.

But, you know, there is alcohol. They actually do make like Sunny Delight alcohol pouches. And to me it's just... Do they really? Yeah, but even if it weren't that, it's that alcohol just ingrained no pun intended in a way that it's like well Yeah, it's 21 and up so it's safe, but They were saying like oh these stores can't be close to schools because the one I go to is next to a school But you know it's also next to that school

Convenience store where I see guys buying alcohol at 7 a.m.. Every day. Yeah so I don't it's just it's kind of playing catch-up with alcohol and culturally it never will be. But I mean it's one of many things that don't make sense you're gonna ban vapes that are fruity flavor yet we're gonna make this right with a rainbow you know you're gonna you can't have Joe Camel because that appeals to kids but we could put this in a candy packet. So it's just more illogical. Helping the case of Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott is that case from Prosper last week at a graduation party.

Two arrests have been made of fellow teens. Now, they don't even actually state the reason for it. It's still just suspicion that it might have been THC gummies and we got a couple emails about that too. One of the funniest things, this happens to us a lot Mike or me, somebody will send us an email and I don't know like I think everybody thinks they've lived a bigger life than they have because it feels huge to you but there'll be times when people will send you something

or email you something and they're like, does this person not know who I am? And it was like, somebody sent this long email describing what can happen if you get too high. And I'm like, I'm a drug addict. Like I've literally, he's like, you know, if you took enough edibles, you could be throwing up. You could get really high from that stuff.

Well, I'm the one that said, could you? I didn't know that you could throw up and stuff. Oh, well, I don't know. The way the email of course, you just get dizzy. There's probably a level of anything. Yeah. Or somebody else. It's just like some breakdown of how something works.

And I'm like, yeah, no, I know. I know. I've done some really shady shit. Like, save it. But these two people were arrested in Prosper. Again, there were eight people taken to the hospital. And the charge is manufacturer and delivery of a controlled substance, which is a first degree felony.

And something I've also heard about, which is that if you have THC concentrate, or what do they call it? Tincture? That they will, you will get hit with a controlled substance charge, which makes no sense, but that's what it is to them, and that's a much bigger deal. I don't know.

I don't know, man. I hate to have those kids' life ruined over like, yeah, I'm the guy who showed up with the weed, but I'm also not that in tune with criminal justice right now and like what sort of time like are you going to jail? If you're 18 you show up with all the weed and eight dorks go to the hospital?

But then I don't know, 20 years ago people were or it was a funny part of a movie of spiking the punch at a dance. Oh I know. You guys don't watch the studio do you you know what? I I am quite I'm foreign maybe I think it's awesome Are you talking about the cookie chocolate scene? Yeah, the mushroom. I didn't see that yet. Okay. I mean I saw the clip It's the same idea though that cuz Seth Rogen's an idiot and he screws up everything Yeah, but he's also the head of a movie studio It's I think it's funny as hell and it's so many like the one shots are incredible, but it's be very nervous

But he yeah at the season end party. Whatever he gets mushroom chocolates for everyone. He miss Judges the the dosage. He thought they were all 10 milligram or whatever and they're all just massive And he almost kills Half of his employees and you know what happened. Huh? You know that's happened. Some guy's like, yeah, I'm going to be the cool guy. I got everybody here. Oh, yeah.

You know what? He's like that. He wants to be the cool guy so bad. So he tells Zoe Kravitz, you know, he's like, we got an old school 80s Hollywood buffet over there. And she's like born in the 90s. She has no clue what that means. She just goes over and starts pounding chocolate.

And he's like, I told you it was an 80s Hollywood buffet. She's like, I don't know what that means. He just goes over and starts pounding chocolate. And he's like, I told you it was an 80s Hollywood buffet. He's just like, I don't know what that means. So I like the show. I don't want to be accused of I'm just going to hate everything KT tells me to watch. But Seth Rogen is an annoying person, an annoying actor sometimes. And he is extremely miscast.

If he was cast as the guy who got that job because he's the nephew of the guy who started Metro-Goldwyn-Mairs, then I'd say, OK, that fits. But ostensibly, he gets promoted to that job because he's the next guy and he's very good He would never act like that's a total screw-up and see this is why Dan is a very good like Storytelling critic like I wouldn't that would not have jumped out to me But that just ruined the show to me because it's true. It doesn't makes no sense the show starts like he loves film so much

He's grinding he's he's moving up He's moving up and then they give him the job and everything go every single thing He does it screws up the buffoon that would know you're right. Yeah, I won't watch another episode It just really bothers me. I like the show but he wouldn't act like that He if somebody with that demeanor would never have risen to this level I think but they're all if he's scared to go talk to a, like these are going to be ballsy. These are going to be Rob Palinkas. They have confidence.

They're going to walk through life because slaying it. And then he is just like this dork. It's the dork caper movie. The guys like us who decide we're going to pull off a heist, and then all the hijinks that follow. It isn't actual hardened criminals doing it. It's weird. Well, it's a comedy, so I think they're caricatures.

I know, but still, he doesn't fit. They're not also. I'm kidding. I like it. It just makes me nervous. Their point might be that all these studio heads are idiots, but we all look at them like, oh, my god, he's the studio head, so they think.

Now maybe I'm back in. The executives suck, actually. He'd at least act differently. He would be an idiot, but he would act with confidence then. I'm going to go tell this guy this, and I will tell Ron Howard this. But because he thinks he's not an idiot. We've all had bosses who we think are idiots,

but then they never, they didn't perceive themselves as, I don't know. So you guys got through the first episode of the Kool-id man or the quite a few of them yes to do a movie about Kool-Aid and then yeah yeah that's the first episode okay with a Scorsese yeah and then it's Scorsese was to do it Jim Jones Jonestown movie right and I love like I'm that guy's always been who I pay is it Baron Holtz who is that the second-in-command dude yeah that guy's crazy he who I pay is it Baron Holtz who is that the second-in-command dude? Yeah, that guy's crazy. He's been crazy funny and everything and I can't remember what any of it is But he's been in a bunch of sketches. I've liked before

Yeah, like his second guy. Yeah, I think it's funny. I love the girl the she's fantastic Yeah, lady, she was in a bunch of other we watch. Yeah. Yeah, yeah step brothers She's awesome the witch lady from whatever that is with the wink meme. All right, there's your noose. The, yeah, exactly, exactly. The dumb cunts. I don't know that she's attractive. Agatha explains it all.

Yeah, yeah. Surprise. I don't know that she's attractive, but I wanna do bad stuff better. There's something about her that's very weird. Max confidence. Real weird. Yeah.

The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom. Is Tom joining for this? Tom, you could join for this or just closing?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. He built his own gym. There's a sauna too. It's not functional right now. But the sauna is still not functional. The sun.

That's why I was confused. We're going to another place with a sauna. Oh, okay. So it's functional. Cause I thought last time it was something, you were working on something. I don't know what we're doing. Let's start this all over. Like the Bra-

I'm Dan McDell. OK. I'm Blake Jones. So one viewer mail birthday today. Greetings bracket Dan. Please wish DF Brown a happy 30-something. Blake and Dan are his leaders. Take that. It's gonna hurt. I just as a guy who likes chemistry vibes and

dinners I'm happy for you guys and I lift you up. Sarah Heppala and vibrator sit-in Amy are his beaters. The pass on those digits. He was not woken up in that special way because he's been saving up for his river trip this weekend primed to mash some gash. Whoa. At the river? He has smoked several cigarettes with Jake and he thinks they are genuinely friends so you can have Jake DF Brown. That ain't coming to... You don't know anyone named Brown? Today is Thursday. I do know Canada. May 22nd, and on this day in 1961, the top of the needle restaurant

in the Space Needle in Seattle opened as the first ever revolving restaurant. Oh, hell yes. Is there one up in Dallas? Does it revolve? No, not anymore. Never been. Did they close it down?

No, there's a restaurant up there, but it doesn't revolve from what I heard. Did it used to? Yeah, yeah, it used to. When I was a kid, that was, you know, it's shocking that we got fired from our previous job, but we did a segment on the revolving restaurants of the world. And I think that's a good bit. So you're familiar with the Space Needle? Oh yeah, the Space Needle for sure, but I think it was, God, China. What about Hank's Look Around Cafe? I didn't see that. Was that Cleveland?

No, that's on the Larry Sanders show. Hank Kingsley started his own restaurant that revolved, but then things went awry. Didn't work that well. It went awry. Yeah. There's less than you think, but there, yeah. How many do you think I think there are? I would have said like, maybe a dozen.

Okay, maybe it's right about what you... How many do you think I think there are? I would have said like maybe a dozen. Okay, maybe it's right about what you... For some reason I think 11 is the number, but that might be very wrong. Okay. But you were thinking hundreds. Yeah, I think I thought over 50 revolving restaurants in the world. Can I just say there's very few things that I think are more circ than the idea of a revolving restaurant. Everything's just- I do like a nice, all right, I'm going to look it up. You keep going.

Kind of whimsical. I'll get your good number. The way he's all have capes. So it's the same, except it's kind of moving around. You say in the world that would help you, but it seems like a very American idea to just turn while you eat. No, no, no, no, you're wrong. I think it is China or the home of revolving restaurants.

Well, I didn't think Africa had one. Dude, you need to. Oh. It's hard to get the exact number of revolving restaurants globally. It's estimated there are over 100. Don't you think the fact. There are more than you think.

There's more than you think. The fact that your restaurant is on Earth. Yeah. I mean, isn't every restaurant a revolving restaurant is on earth. Yeah. I mean, isn't every restaurant a revolving restaurant? All right, buy one, get one free guy. Rushy by Early Verge CBD. Ah, man. Yeah.

No, you're right. Oh, Lithuania has one. On this day in 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, I'm not sure. who was named after a highway. Or the Spanish Sex Act. Outlined his goals of his great society, saying that it rests on abundance and liberty for all,

and demands an end to poverty and racial injustice. And we get there by killing Kennedy. Woke, woke, woke, I miss America the way it used to be. Oh wait, that's from the way it used to be. Oh, wait, that's from the way it used to be. Right around 20 revolving restaurants in the United States, only one in the state of Texas now, the Tower of the Americas, San Antonio. Our last.

We didn't even go. I know. We were just there. We had the opportunity. Jake blew our budget on the homeless guy that did push-ups. We could have had. The whole dinner budget. Then we had to get. We could have had. Yep, the whole dinner budget. I could have had a piece of salmon.

My first bite, I would have been looking at the Alamo Dome. No, guess what? Sea World. And then my last bite, yeah. It's incredible. I could have sworn I was just looking at the Alamo Dome. No, look again, Dan McDowell. the Alamo Dome. No, look again Dan McDowell. On this day in 1992 Johnny Carson hosted the Tonight Show for the last time after a 30 year run. I remember that. I know you remember

this story Jake. 2002 on this day the remains of Chandra Levy were found in a Washington park. She was an intern who had disappeared more than a year earlier. In fact it was about September 8th or so. I know that. She was the one Chandra that was to Levy. On this day in 2003, Annika Soremstam becomes the first woman to play in a PGA Tour event in 58 years. Do you know what I think of when I think of that? Hmm.

Donovan was the Bone Brother at the time. Do you guys remember the song that they did? No. It was hilarious. It was, uh, what's the... I see you walking down the street. What is that melody? What is that song? It was something like that and it was extremely misogynistic and it was hilarious. They just ran it on 93.3, wacky FM. It's like...

I know you're sitting down to pee Oh! It was just like real... I think they used titties in it. It was great. Early aughts FM radio folks. That's interesting. Because I did a- It was a very different time. I don't remember the song, but I did a Anika

to Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song. Very good. And it was all about, but I don't know that it was misogynist. That doesn't sound like me. No. It's just about her game. Well, she missed the cut at the Colonial. Cut.

TC on this day the first woman's basketball coach to make over a million dollars when Pat Summitt signed her new deal for $1.125 million per year. What a time we all lived. Did she make more at that point than Buddy Ryan is the question. Did she make more in her whole career than Buddy Ryan? Yes, without a doubt. I have no idea what this is. Because I was looking at current coaches' salaries.

They're not necessarily public. So it's only estimated that Shadi is like $4 to $5 million. Yeah, it's about. I think they thought McCarthy was. Andy Reid's like $20 million. Yeah. And so yeah, McCarthy would have absolutely been minimum $10 million worth, maybe $15,

just with his resume. Yeah, yeah, but I think they were paying him like six or seven or something. It wasn't a lot, yeah. The point is, the Cowboys really do cheap out on head coach. Who needs... Where the thought always is, the Cowboys, they want, they would spend like the Yankees,

but they're hamstrung, They can't because of the... The pie. Yeah, the hard cap and all that kind of stuff. So this is the place where you do spend more, would be with your coaches and scouting and whatnot, but they don't. Scouting. Think about it.

They're paying... I said think about it. I'm thinking about it. I mean, I'm just, this is a whole day of Cowboys slander. Like they're paying Will McCabe. I said think about it. I'm thinking about it. I mean, I'm just this is a whole day of cowboy slander Like they they're paying. I'm just pointing out facts And on this day in 2020 a full house star lori laughlin and her husband Plead guilty to paying half a million dollars to usc as part of a college admissions bribery scheme She would spend two months

behind bars Did she do like a how prison changed me? I hope so. Or City Blues. Other birthdays today former Sooner Marcus Dupree is 61. Grade 30 for 30. Anthony Richardson is 23. Damn, dude. We didn't even talk about Jimmy Earsay today. Yeah. Let's go tomorrow. Just an absolute treasure trove of Hall of Fame tweets. Write down NFL Talk tomorrow. We got flag football.

I wanted to get you to weigh in on that today, but we didn't have time. What are you? Okay quick, but by the way I know I'm watching it for you sir. I look at the side. That's a mud dauber stinger It's a mud dauber will not sting you. Yes, it is. I don't trust it. I'm very familiar with it Tom Dan we did not they don't sting they can sting I Can see the stinger on the back? I don't want it to land on me. The weird dynamic here is you think we haven't been around these things our whole lives. Maybe we've been wrongly scared of them our whole lives.

Maybe so, because I live among them. Yeah, I know. They are my people. And I don't want them, I don't want them now just like I didn't want them 30 years ago. Anyways, Mike. The idea that they're going gonna play flag in 28. Yep the oh It just yeah, Justin Jefferson or Mike just open the door. He'll fly right now. No, he's not gonna fly

I get a lot of focus. Yeah, you got a good catch and release moment right here. We got my child arms out It's not gonna hurt you Good little buddy. There you go guide him out swing him out of there. No, oh shit. Close it close it. That's It works Okay, don't have to kill every inch as someone who knows the rules of flag football Yep, knows how hard it is to pull flags if you're not okay, so how tall most NFL players are? Yeah They go right now, tomorrow, the US Olympic team right now, or the national team,

destroys a team of the best 15 NFL players. I say yes. Tomorrow, yes. No training, no planning, just skill alone, and yes. And the problem I think they're gonna have is that these people are not gonna quit the NFL to play flag football. They're gonna be going back and forth from tackling.

And you know what flag guarding, this lame penalty? If somebody tries to grab your flag and you hit their hand, that's like a 15 yard penalty. You know NFL players who were going back and forth from camp to flag football? The first time somebody tries to tackle Justin, or pull Justin Jefferson's flag, he's going to put his hand through their body and kill them because it'll be a five seven Koreans

and they will kick him out of the game and it's not going to work. Yeah, but you'd f'ing watch it. I will watch it, but I'm telling you, you're not going to be able to just be a guy who like, Hey, next week I'll be down at camp. Yeah. But how about Kyler? You go Kyler? Of course. Yeah. There's a few that are just built. There are some, but it's not the guys who think they're the guys. It ain't Tyree. It's probably not Justin Jefferson. Probably Tyree. Deuce might be incredible. Yeah. That's his true calling. God, dude, how special dude how special or like make a wish kid will it feel because you only get one player per team if hypothetically

Deuce were still on the team and they're like here you go what go win a championship do you think okay if the team USA would play the NFL all-star team fine but you really think there's any other nation in the world that can field their best flag football team, that can compete with an NFL base? I'm not sure because the US team doesn't always win. I've been watching a lot of it. And here's the problem.

You know what other countries have? Little guys. Fucking lots of them. That's how they have soccer teams. You can find five, eight fast Spaniards everywhere. Yeah But here we're bigger What if we get? A state the jockeys. Oh

Jockeys not bad Jim urse is dead, huh? Yeah, man. I didn't know that So we have to do a retrospective and read his tweets tomorrow? Well, yeah, there's a lot of really funny ones out there. And he owns the big book. So what to do with that? Yeah.

I tried explaining that to somebody in AA once and they were extremely confused. I was like, he owns a football team. Anyway, Anthony Richardson, does he suck? He was a big fantasy sleeper last year in all the drafts I was in. He's got a quarterback battle to win. Who do they got?

Danny Dimes, I'm pretty sure. Okay, Jesus. Mike Breen is 64. And... Overrated. Oh. And Over rate He doesn't call it a double bang Or does he yes he has been interviewed and so occasionally you've pulled up the double bang

Well, you know you're right. He doesn't say that yeah, he's like, there's a criteria for the double bang that must be met. It's very Nancy-en. He's very, yes. You're right, I'm out. There was a double bang the night before our show at the Nelson. Somebody in the NBA had a double bang. So the whole drive there, I was just so excited.

Oh, yeah, yeah. If you got five. You know what he probably did? He probably did. Playoff share? How is it possible that anyone thought that was a good idea? What if we were to get the strongest personality in the last 20 years in sports? Who's the second greatest player of all time and we hire a guy no one's ever heard of who coaches in Israel? He'll do fine. I'm sure LeBron will listen to him. He was a big vibe guy

Just back in the I don't know when we first met I remember you just talking about That maybe you saw some of yourself in us or something like you just you knew when you broke off from the oppressive thumb of the man and it just it sucked and it was tough and your crappy little apartment you lived in and all this and you end up here with this made good acreage and you're living the life that you want to live that you have just built around you and it's it's pretty awesome man, yeah, I Think I Get questions sometimes about why I

Listen so much. My wife's not a big listener, but she likes you guys a lot and I think it's because what you've done, when you walked away from a comfortable situation, you took the risk. And I grew up with a radio under my pillow. I just always loved talk radio. And of course, I love sports. So you guys kind of check all the boxes. And I've really. So you guys kinda check all the boxes

and I've really enjoyed watching you guys do something very, very difficult and extremely successful. And I said the first time that you came out here that this was absolutely going to work. And I don't think any one of you realize how far you're gonna go with this because this thing is cooking. So

congratulations to you guys. And I appreciate Mike coming out. Oh, yeah. Signed up for the premium practice today. It's true. Well, it's good to hear you say that and good for them. But I from my experience betting on yourself, just don't do it. Don't. Don't you do it. Yeah. Don't. Don't you do it.

Let me ask an economic question. It wasn't going great the other way. Because you are a guy we will bounce some economic questions off of, and we appreciate the advice you've thrown our way over the years. But in light of some new things, you talk about the THC bill and all this. I don't know a lot about stuff. So when somebody has us out for a sit-in or we have someone in for a sit-in, whatever,

and we... Is that like giving your favorite show a tip? Like, oh, you know what? I just give you guys a tip. Is this a tax related? What I'm saying is if indeed you were to be taxed on certain. I love this version of Dan. You know, it's a- Beautiful bill related. I mean, this is not a regular thing. It's just an extra. It's just a, hey, I'm going to throw you a little-

Yeah. We were all going to come out here anyway. Right. But for the appreciation. Yeah. As a thank you. That's like where you're headed at. Brainstorming.

Just food for the humorous comedic mode. But I was reading something that indicated, hey, this is no tax on tips. It's really good for businesses. It's really not something that's really, it has the vision of, oh, it's just supporting the lowest of the low workers. But actually, it's way better for their bosses because of now they can continue to pay them those lowest of the low wages. But anyway, that's something I was just reading, but I don't know things, Tom. You know that.

You know a lot. Nothing better than a Tom email. Get you feeling right. Good times. You're coming out again, you mean? To tell you to come out or just? Just like, hey, here's what I think about your business. You should do this.

Yeah, we'll throw him some, hey, we're doing this, this and this. I gave you my email, I agree. Yeah. All that helping. Yeah, your business Wednesday's idea, when you first said Wednesday's is going to be business Wednesday, I was like, I had to think about that for a while.

I look back at that now and it's perfect. I don't see any unforced errors, which is very unusual on a startup. And it really is. I don't think you guys realize the degree of difficulty of what you've done here and it's just, it's just, I can't say enough. I know, it seems so easy. No, no.

It's been like nothing. And the last, about a week ago, you were talking about how you were procrastinating, right? And understand that that's very normal in the situation you're in. That means that you're kind of in that marathon. And you're running that marathon and you get to whatever mile it is when people kind of break down. That just means you're you're just a little tired. You got to take a break. Sometimes you guys just shut it down. Turn the phone off and and of regenerate, recoup. Work for me. That's what that's a sign of. Seriously. I know I run into it too. Simple tasks suddenly

is like, oh. But that, honestly, that's what this whole intentionality thing, if there's something that I know I need to do and I'm not doing it, I immediately start writing out why. I'm like, all right, well, I clearly just, I must just think this is not a good idea. Or I must just have no confidence in doing this. So I just. Do you ever start writing it out and not give up though?

Correct, that usually happens. Okay. But you can just think out, why am I putting this off? There's a reason. Interesting. Gotta be attention now Sometimes it's just fatigue. Yeah, so Anyway, you have a ride one of those emus. What are they here for the emus? Yeah Hatch

Hatch him she went to a ranch bought three eggs put him in an incubator for an X number of days. She's a Khaleesi. And she hatched them, and then they're out there. Was this you at all, or is this all kind of like wife driven, just the whole, I mean, you got chickens and? I don't, I just, I just try to enjoy as much as I can for as long as I can. And I never really thought about it. We were living up in Plano

and we had about an acre up in Plano, which is a little unusual. But Jennifer is more of a country girl and I was not. But I dove right in and we got a couple of horses, some pigs, some chickens and lizard and a tortoise, 10 acres. Your lizard guy. Yeah, we got a lizard. That's not a lizard 10 acres. You're a lizard guy. Yeah, we got a lizard. That's not a lizard. Yeah, we got a lizard.

You have a sword? No, that doesn't, there are some stipulations. So if you have a bunch of other animals, you're just an animals person, which is not the same as a reptile person. Yeah. Very different. 10 acres.

No, the snakes, absolutely. I pulled a couple of snakes out of the barn last week. They go after the eggs. And Jennifer's not a couple of snakes out of the barn last week. They go after the eggs. And Jennifer's not a fan of the snake. When you say pulled them out, you didn't behead them. You actually let them live? I always put them down into the creek or get them away from the barn.

But I know they'll come back. But they also do a good job of rat control, mouse control, whatever is in there. So yeah, I can't kill them. I feel bad about it. I heard, or at least is this a wives tale, that if you sprinkle sulfur or something around your property, they won't, is that true?

Yes, it's supposed to be true. We get a lot of snakes too, because they live near the lake. OK. All right, well there you go, Whe you go we've never had any point we've only had one poisonous snake on the property what a copperhead down by the creek but other than that they're just rat snakes but they're about five feet six feet long so they're big but you said ten acres we got yes okay big enough for the surviving the game hypothetical I was kind of hoping Clayton would be out here today.

Is that where we hunt the most dangerous? Yes. We send him out there during the break and then right when the show ends. We send Clayton out? Yeah. Oh, okay. He's got a bad back. Okay, yeah.

Start with an easy one, a confidence booster. This feels like OTAs. I got a couple of gifts for you. Well, now this is why we're here. Oh. Well, hang on one second. Mike's like, oh, OK. I'll take Jake's bottle. I'll take Jake's bottle.

Last time I gave out a lot of alcohol, but it turned out not to be the best idea. Hey, listen, everybody was doing their best. But we wouldn't be here. We didn't get one bottle here for for Mike. Oh, I wanted. Yeah. So I was going to give you this one, but I didn't want to. All right, so that's an 18.

Shut up. Oh, he's are you sure? Is this Jerry? Johnny Walker? Blue? I listen. Are you serious? It's a Johnny Walker blue. I listened to you. Are you joking? That's top notch stuff, isn't it? Wow. I don't know if you remember this, but it was probably eight, nine years ago.

You were doing a show on a Saturday and you were talking about being in a parking lot and having the push carts and it was raining. And you said you always felt guilty by leaving the carts out in the lot. And you felt like, always gotta put it away. And I've always had a similar thought like that. So I'm not like this guy.

But anyway, I wanted you to have that and enjoy that. I wanna make one note. Tom said, hey, what does Saroy wanna drink? We know Saroy loves Tito's's we all love Tito's course It's like we're and so I asked cash I have cash and he said also really real quick. He said uh We got a show that night. So I don't know like I I I hope this is a gift And I was like, yeah, I think it's a gift. But it'd be rude not to. OK, then scotch. But it'd be rude not to sample the gift right now.

I just want you to know that they're at least managing this. It's the sealed box, like taped on the side. Why is there so much tape on there? That's awesome. That's amazing. Thank you. I care about the, and if there's like an old lady pushing a cart, I'll help her too.

Just go to the next one. There's some kids. I just like to help, you know, animals as well. Not snakes, I don't know. Blake, I got a couple of dozen eggs in there for you. Yes. Oh, I know that you're a big egg guy. And also I got your book I bought for each of you. It's called Losing the Signal.

And it's a great it's a great story of the blackberry and what happened with the blackberry as it met the iPhone Cool, and I see a lot of parallels between What's going on with you all and your former employer? There's a blackberry right there and I think you'll find some parallels. You'll find it interesting. And so I want you to take a look. Hell yeah. That is right up my alley. That's fascinating.

You're going to like this. The diffusion of patient. I was on Team BlackBayer, by the way. Yeah, well. If you have a phone without a raised keyboard, yes, it will not survive. This is ridiculous. And I held out on that iPhone for quite some time. Now it's my best friend.

I think what he's telling you is you can be just like Steve Jobs. I can be? Yeah. No, but I don't see what's the future ever. I always sighed. I don't know. Well, I guess. Now.

Hopefully. Hopefully. Yeah. I was just gonna go with dead from ignorance. The last thing I really wanna say is that normally, you know, when I like having you guys come out and I enjoy it and I enjoy the show. Sometimes I'm in the gym back there working out

and I got it going and I'm feeling good. And then I remember Luca's gone. It really bothers me and then when I'm having a bad day it makes it worse. So there's no, I don't see an end in this and they're not going to chant fire Luca because people who really care aren't going to be there next year. And I just can't imagine Mark Cuban going into the shark tank to pitch his deal to a group and say, look, I started this business. Business is awesome. But I do everything I got to do marketing, I got to, it's too much. All I want to do is just run the operation just the just the actual basketball operation

So I'm gonna sell the team and I could see mark. They're Saying to that person. Okay, so That's part of the contract then right now mark mark would say You're an idiot. How are you gonna sell the team? But you're not gonna have a contract that you're gonna continue to run the basketball and then you're going to go out and you're going to tell everybody this is what I'm going to do. So I blame him. I blame Nico.

I mean, whatever the new ownership absolutely blame them and good riddance. You know, I used to go anything. I would say they destroyed a franchise. You know, and it's very, it really sucks. I heard you talking about this a little bit before the show, like, I feel exactly what you were saying. Like, even if Nico gets fired, I don't feel like I can go run back, you know,

I guess call me in a couple years, but they still have those same owners, they still they ruined this team. They did they ruin my love for the team. I didn't grow up here. My first the first game I ever went to was in 2023 against San Antonio, when Kerwin off in the fourth quarter, and the electricity in the building, it was like, it was like Dirk and Nash was still there. It was unbelievable.

And ever since then, I was way into it. 2003. The whole thing. 2003. Yeah, 2003. And so you ride all that with Dirk and everything that went on. You can't do the loyalty on the statue and all that

and then do this. You can't. the loyalty on the statue and all that and then do this. You can't. No, it's over. So anyway. Dirk is kind of my gauge. I just want to see how this all comes out with him, which is tough. Because I feel like.

Well, right now he doesn't seem like he's on board with the Mavs. And I don't think you'll ever know how truly on board he isn't, because he isn't that type of guy. He's not wired. And so I feel like we're going to all be like, we'll support it if dirt does but dirt's only doing it Cuz he feels like he has to Now we're uh, I am with I'm with Tom. I'm a Tom go starts

Well, thanks Tom. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that's odd. Yo's mofo. We gotta go before this becomes a zoo Scribe and type for my name if you want to watch more of my video Adios, mofo.
