Hey everybody, it's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. Oh, actually I have a little viewer mail.

Shannon. Shannon. I suspect Guy Shannon. Like the Rangers guy. Uncle Hotmail, I run the dumb zone fan zone Facebook page. Okay. Did anyone know this existed? Absolutely not. I don't think so. I hadn't had Facebook in years. We are now over 4K members. Damn, son.

Is there a digital flyer that you can send me with all the details for the summer event on June 7th I will create a Facebook event invite and I'll go out to all the members in the group I'm trying to help your show never punt Shannon Shannon so I did I sent Shannon. Suspected dude, but it's OK. Because here. He's very much a dude. I mean, listen. Look at this guy.

He's already searched Shannon. Of course he has. And Blake and I also. Big, burly beard on Shannon. Oh, yeah. Blake and I also both mistakenly sent junk picks to Cass, who turned out to also be a very big burly man, Cassidy. He was nice about it.

He was. Boy, Cass, what a hot name. Ruin on that guy. I've been in love with that guy for years. I know. I literally did go back and read my emails to him and I'm like, you could definitely tell I thought this was a lady.

Kind of a little flirty here. Remember, Cass had a mandate to not order food by his wife. He did. There was a sign on the door that said, Scott, before you order food, look in the fridge. I would blow my brains out if I saw that on my fridge in my house. That's divorceable, right?

It's a step, yeah. Anyway, sorry Dan. Back to the summer of then. You know, it wasn't so much the note, but at the bottom it said, Other alternatives. Fruit. Fruit! Protein bar. Jesus Christ, like she's Michelle Obama. Bored? Maybe get up and move around a little bit.

Get your blood pumping. She's just trying to help? Gah! Anyway, and move around a little bit. Get your blood pumping. She's just trying to help? Gah! Anyway, yes, I did send him some digital stuff, said if you need different sizes, because we have a... I don't understand any of this,

but yeah, we were sent different layouts, and this one's for Instagram, this one's for whatever, and this one's a vector something, and I'm like, alright, yeah, I'll take them all. And so, yeah. It is the Dumb Zone Generic Summer Event presented by Qualis Roofing. Know what I mean, Vern. They put that roof right up here on the den we're broadcasting high atop my garage today. Saturday, June 7th, it's called the Local shacks at Austin Ranch, which is the colony.

I guess it's right there, right under 121, right? Just south of 121. I just kind of put it in a phone. OK. Well, yeah, it's west of. You got the latitude and longitude over there, grandpa. So it'll also be on YouTube that evening streaming live.

If Clayton has anything to say about it. If it's not on YouTube, Clayton will not be here Monday. That is actually true. So yeah, join us. Saturday, June 7. How far away is that? Two Saturdays. God, really?

It's OK. We're on top of it. Are we? Yes. So tomorrow will be two weeks from Saturday. Tomorrow. Oh my gosh. That's how that works.

I'm going to panic. You're good. We had the kindergarten end of year party at the house last night. How many people showed up? You know what, I should have counted, and I'm not good at that, but I would say there were, at peak, over 50. Wow. 50 to 60, yeah.

Maybe like 30 kids. It was wild. Any mommies? Yeah, there were some wine mommies. It's funny. Anybody get in the pool? Adults? No.

Although, I did hear after the fact that we did have a parent have to get in to save, to get a kid. Oh. I missed that. But it was awesome. It was wild. I mean, yeah, it's funny to watch just, it's just like in high school, you get a group,

here's four or five moms who go find a little nook, their wine, so they can just talk about the other moms. But it was cool though, it was cool. You got a great party backyard, man. We should do a show there sometime. Okay, I'm down. But it was a great time, man. I don't know, it's weird when you think back when you were a kid of the family that was like, oh man, I want to

go to their house and do stuff. My gummy thought late last night was like, holy shit, where that house? This rocks. Like, got a pretty good thing here. It was cool. It was a lot of fun. I didn't know if you'd wanna be that house, cause then you're the house that cleans up and all that. I love every bit of it, I love cleaning up. It was that cleanest our house, we should have sold our house before the party. That's the other great thing.

Immaculate. If you are having a party, get together. Just bring a bunch of women over that your wife is like, my house. The cleanest our house. Should have put it on the market the second I got home yesterday. Super Bowl Sunday is the cleanest our house ever is now.

Because we now do the live stream and my wife will glom onto the eatsies food and throw her own party. Yeah. That gets it done. But yes, having people over, inviting, I don't know if this works for you, but if you invite your wife's mom, if she's coming to visit, my god, this house is clean. Why do you want your mom to think that you're this different person? Just show her your true colors. Yeah, that's what I did.

I wish that worked. Now, the problem I have that I'm facing right now, I need an open for my rec sports that no one cares about. I told you guys they cancelled our playoffs last weekend There was no rain a couple people on our team went golfing afterward holding lightning rods. They lived they postponed it, right? They didn't cancel. No, they said they keep it's done You're not in the playoffs anymore. They said the season is over because this weekend is Memorial Day They everybody in rec sports knows we're not playing

on Memorial Day, Father's Day, Labor Day, Mother's Day, whatever. They take those days off. So now- There's a lot of people schedule a little mini vacation or something around this. Mini vacation or you got to go to your mom's house. I don't know. But Sunday's not Memorial Day. No, but anyways, we never play on those days. And now they're like, oh, we're just pushing it back a week. And I'm like, well, we don't want to play. And we have like half our team. We're the one seed.

We shouldn't have to do this. And we're having people over again on Sunday, our non-school friends. And now that I think about it, the fight that I was telling you guys about that I had with my wife that was not for the year, now that I'm putting the pieces together, it might have been whenever I asked her, hey, can I skip this party on Sunday at our house

to go play two flag football games? Oh, they are bumping, they are having the game, sorry. Yeah, I'm not gonna go. I'm gonna go to the first one, but it's just bullshit. I'm sorry. It's playoffs dude. It's playoffs How many more these am I gonna get? You're gonna go. I need another Excel gilded bacon neck shirt that says grapevine rec champion. I've got seven. You're not playing What if your party went over to watch your game? I'll go to the one o'clock game, which we will win,

and then at the three o'clock I can't be there. Plus it's right during the Stars game. It's a bad setup. Boy, I think the flag football Dan McDowell would call you a P. Do you not want to win? Do you not want to compete? There's a certain part where it's a little ridiculous

for me to be chasing it like it's Rory chasing Arnie like I don't I can How many rodeos you got with my family rather than you can do that the rest of your life? Don't think I'm not thinking about it. I'm bothered It should be I'm old reliable so Memorial Day. We're gonna do a show Monday heck. Yeah, I love yeah Cuz when I was- Who's gonna play hook to curl? Because when I, thank you. These teams have, I know the, pattern reading.

When I was a kid growing up listening to The Ticket, the hard line used to do shows at people's houses on Memorial Day and I'm pretty sure Labor Day. And I'm not saying we're doing that, but it was a lot of fun. Well, we obviously would. We would. We're for sale, but I... Just the vibe of people being by the pool and listening.

I just remember though, because we used... Yes, there was a long time that we used to work on the major holidays. I always thought, this is idiotic. It's like, it's clear there was much less listenership on that day. And then, unlike this place, we were mandated. You had to take a certain amount of vacation days a year. So they wouldn't give us one of those days for a vacation day, but they would make us take off a day when the ratings supposedly counted more type thing. And so I always thought that

was kind of a dumb bit. And then over the years, they picked that up as well and thought, this is a dumb bit. Let's make the guys take off on Memorial Day. Yeah. And then we started doing that. Somebody had to work those days. Someone did have to work. Playing those CDs. I played a lot of CDs. I just don't know what's better for us. Is it like Clayton is like hey all the people who are not doing anything they will tune in and watch. We'll get good viewership that day and I don't know if that's true. I don't know. I guess we'll find out. I don't know and I don't really care because what I know what I do is I just wake up and I'm like when am I gonna go f around with the boys? Okay, I didn't know if you guys want to do Tuesday Wednesday Okay, I booked a sit-in so

Yeah, we got people we're flying in somebody who was trying to get here when I was in the head Oh, we really have a sit-in. Yeah. Yeah, are we here that they're Fox Fox? Okay, let's get crazy bathing suit show We probably should chill. Yeah So I will let you know that... You know, I told you I had, like, mail from the mailbox. Oh yeah. You're looking at this stuff sitting on my desk. And so I wanted to point it out.

One thing, Blake... I get e-mail... And it just says, says Blake the dumb zone That's probably you so I don't know what this is and I don't know if you even want to open it on the air I haven't seen it yet this I will open though This came in the box yesterday as well I Don't know that we can use these here, but I had, I don't know, maybe I was late in emailing the guy. Anyway, the guy sent me the...here. I can get it. Catch that.

What do we got? Oh wow, these are, let's say you're at a bar, perhaps, and you have to relieve yourself number one, and you go to the urinal. There's a cake there at the bottom of that urinal, and this particular urinal cake features the face of Maverick's current general manager, Nico Harrison. That'll be at the GSEQ+. There you go. That's fantastic.

It really is. I don't know that it would be like a utility. You guys keep a list of things that you do with money? Like a spreadsheet or? Just like a list on your notes page or something. Like I want to get a jugs machine. Oh, things you want to buy. I'd like to have a urinal.

And I know that it's practically. Is a jugs machine the? The catch? Like that they have at camp? Like Brady threw the ball in? Oh, okay, like that's the pitching machine. You hit off it. No. Football. I've never used the baseball one.

You put the football on the spinning wheels and then shoots and you catch it. The baseball one I feel like is more... but I don't know. I want a urinal. At home? Yeah. So you can just stand up and pee. Yeah, because I, uh, up until pretty recently I would pee in the sink on you. What? Yeah, I got run out of the pain on that one by having a wife, but it's right there. Well there are certain things wives are good for, because you shouldn't be peeing in the sink. That is not good.

Why? Sanitation? I don't know. Where your dishes go, I don't know. Not the kitchen sink. Oh. The bathroom sink. You're right there.

Why don't you just brush your teeth at the toilet then? I often do that. All right, well, I guess I'm talking to somebody different. Very cool urinal cake. We'll have them at the event. Can we get some of these away or something? Clayton is right, well I only have like three of them. Okay, well we'll put them at the bar. So yes, I forgot, I was thinking who could we give these to, we'll give them to Jerry. Elliot? I was thinking Jay Jarrier at first, because we've been out to Kane Rosa a few times. What do you got? The DZGSE. Adam, very similar to what you just got. The DZGSE Q.

That's a cool design. June 7th. You will be another reason to get there. Is so you can urinate on Nico Harrison. Well, that's a big opportunity. Our friend Adam is selling these, you're interested in that MF ML Lincoln bio 1980 to 2025

What does it mean? Thanks Adam? Well, we're no longer mass fans MF What else? ML What does that mean? I don't know man's fans money line money ML? I don't know man. What does that mean? I don't know. Mavs? Fans? Money line.

Invited to one of those luncheons the women in business Why just women?

White men are cut out of everything. I you know what at this point it doesn't even bother me I'm so used to it if we need to bear the the weight of society. I will humbly do so Although you you're just kind of creepily looking at women in professional wear right now. It's not really Helping the show not creepy at wear right now. It's not really helping the show. It's not creepy at all. At all. It's great. What I'm doing.
