I thought we just said I would start it No, and you would take it home again. Did you not say that you might have said three two one? Hey, Jake want to talk about fairlease.org? Well, that's their website.

So I mean, we will talk about their website as part of talking about their business, which is Fair Lease, which is a aptly named because they're not here to screw you over, rip you off. They're Fair Lease. There's no dealership for you to come into for you to get pressure applied to you.

And our good friend from community mechanical Travis Gafford recently found that out. He just sent me a bunch of pictures texted me. We're buddies He said Fairlease just delivered our first vehicle with them. We already have the second one in the works This was a super easy process Yeah, and we are excited to grow our fleet with Fair Lease. Or you could get your own vehicle at FairLease.org. That's right. When you go to FairLease.org, click Request a Quote and then select the dumb zone on the How Did You Hear About Us page right there. Very important, Dan, at FairLease.org. The

preceding and the following content are brought to you by NoPuppet Productions barely start on. So, hey. That'll be cool. Delay on anything I think is mildly funny. See if Jake agrees. You gotta do the norm. Because you don't ever think anything is funny. So, the one guy I might be able to get. Oh, you wanted me to laugh at the Shirley Temple joke? That's funny. Oh, you wanted me to laugh at the Shirley Temple joke?

That's funny See how I just didn't let you finish? That was so funny, dude. That clip You destroyed. We didn't just do an ad, we did a really funny clip to intro the show and we're all having fun. That was awesomely funny you guys. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. Why is he so demeaning to us? I told you like a month ago that we begin the show with a clip. So when we talk about the spot we just did, it's weird. There's a continuity error.

Oh, so you don't want us referring to the spot. Yeah. But it was a funny spot? It was great. Oh god. I would have thought he'd like this more by now. I'm gonna keep trying though. Hello again everybody!

Uh, hello, what does he say? Hello folks. Hello, friends. Hello, friends. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jay Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. We have Clayton Kimbrough here. We have a Andrew Henry.

Can't play your little AI intro, can you? So are you on delay by half a second? Oh, now he's doing it. Let's do it this way. Let's do you do one, two, and I'll do three. Now he's doing it. Let's do it this way. Let's do, you do one, two, and I'll do three. The answer's yes. One, two, three.

Mmm. That's fine. I think we're slightly delayed. We'll be alright. I don't think we will be alright. I don't think it is fine. Alright, Jake, drive back. Um, yeah, so... Here's a guy who would just not bring the rice back I don't think it is fine. All right, Jake drive back.

Yes, here's a guy who would just not bring the rice back and he'd be like, all right, that's cool. It's good. Let's get rice next time. No, I deal with this a lot with my wife Dan. So it's why I am capable of dealing with you in these situations. So we have this issue, right? Where you think there's a delay. Now, what is it that we could have done or could do now? Or are we just complaining? That's the question I asked a lot of times. Yeah, but we do a show and everything, so I just wanna complain. I understand, but.

He makes a decision to put us in this mess and we can't complain about it? That's, oh, okay, that's a great one. Has she ever used that? We can't complain about it. That's okay. That's a great Shiver use that oh It feels like that's that's default yeah, that's That's page one of the playbook for just about everybody it seems but anyways We're here like are you wearing your gift t-shirt same day. I chose mine No, this is the same guy. This is our good friend Duke Manny weather. Oh

Okay, very similar. I thought somebody was referring to you as the mastermind behind the whole program is no I'm merely the executive producer, which means I don't do anything Except when something is slightly wrong I complain EP yeah, but you're also when something is slightly wrong, I complain. And EP here. Let's wait 10 seconds and Jake will reply. I don't know, you're also supposed to be making a ton of money too, way more. And so you do have the first part down, but the second.

I'm supposed to be funding the TV show being on air, and I feel like that's happening, right? There you go, that's true. So I just have a couple things I wanna- Jake's not here. Jake's in Galveston. Blink twice if you're okay. Jake is in Galveston, Texas, on a vacation. You know what I really wanted was A.J. Hawke's background.

I found like somebody had done an animation of A.J. Hawke's background and I tried to give it to Clayton to see if I could get his bookshelf his bookcase To no avail buddy a couple things I was thinking about on the way down here one Blake have you seen or Dan these signs for? Texit coin dude. Yes. I've been meaning to bring that up Yeah Dude, yes, I've been meaning to bring that up. Yeah. So I saw it the other day and then I saw it maybe two or three times on the way down today and it's just a big billboard.

And I don't know what it does to indicate that it's crypto related, but it says something, you know, and it says Texas coin and there's a ticker up there. Presumably with the price of Texas coin going up or down. And you know, third time you see like, I'd like to check what is that. And, you know, it's not really complicated, which means, um, it's super complicated and I don't understand it any differently than I do. Regular crypto, but it's basically just Texas decided we want our own crypto just Texas decided we want our own crypto and it's marketed as like a token or a coin that represents Texas values. I just get the feeling that this can't be

legal but I don't know. It is legal. But it's just legal. I don't know. People get in trouble for this kind of stuff. I thought That's changed yeah one of those things back Right Regulations are gone Yeah, meme coins. So yeah, these Rip off meme coins are bad. Yeah, okay. You're right. But yeah, it'll show you the price by About it. It'll show you the price by sell trade. So I read a little bit about it. It'll show you the price.

Blake, my question was like, do they show it when it tanks? Like is it up there at like 0.34 and it's in the red? Yeah, of course. It's very weird. Buying opportunity, it's our fault, it's falling. Yes, it's putting the anus on us to fix it. It's just crazy that they can put up billboards about it

I know it says it was created Representing Texas is independent spirit and fostering a decentralized digital economy, you know the normal word salad associated with blockchain Currency, but I then asked the like, does anyone else have this? Of course they don't. Uh, let's see. Uh, other states focus on, um, I guess just environments, creating environments that cryptocurrencies could be successful. Texas just says, no, much like with our grid, we need our own Bitcoin.

So that's where, where we are and what that is. And the other topic that I had on the way down. Wait, hold on, last thing. So typically, the bottom of the website has a frequently asked questions part, and it's typically, you know, what is this, whatever, how does this work? But their first question is, are you for real?

And I don't think that's a good barometer for, is this legit or not? And it just says, uh, yeah, history proves that all empires fall. Texas will need a backing. So maybe we're headed towards a secession and we're going to have our own Bitcoin. I mean, if we were to talk about, about it seriously, I mean, economically, of course, Texas, I'm sure there are other California or something, but I think Texas obviously has the best chance of having its own

nation, you know, being sovereign. So looking into its own currency, I guess makes sense, but it's just, it's just so Texas. It's so Texas. My other thought, uh, heading down here, I was just going to ask you guys. So later on in the afternoon, you know, you go down to the beach, Saturday you're at the beach all day and you know, typically it's a book reading time. I think that's what most people would do and they want to make sure they have a physical

book, a tactile object, not even the iPad. I don't really do that. I can read on a phone, read on an iPad, but really what you're trying to do is relax down there. And what would really, really put my mind at ease is if I got a bunch of my voice memos organized and a lot of my tax is done. So I'm here to lobby for normalized taking your laptop and a couple notepads down to the beach and just catching up on taxes and

invoices as a form of relaxation and nobody bitching about it. Cause it would relax you. So if that's your time, what if that's what you want to do with it? Yeah, it would relax you to know that I don't have this tax thing looming over me that I've been just ignoring. Yeah. I think that's a good idea. A hundred percent. You get it. And that's the thing is that people will look at you like you're crazy.

Yeah. You're dragging your work down there. But yeah, you get it. Yeah. You're allowed to sit and open a book and that's your thing but yes if your thing is online you want to fire up you know pornhub or something on the beach go ahead you want to finish the 30 for 30 on the beach go for it I would be concerned absolutely and in your if you're thinking of yourself Celtic stock yeah yeah the

sand issue could be could be especially if you're combining sand with the hub, like your computer's probably not coming back from there. I couldn't finish the Celtic stock. It pains me because like Jason Tatum's face is on the, what do you call it, the thumbnail or something. And I'm trying to figure out a way on the HBO or the, the Macs app, they're going to have to change that name again. And I'm probably going to have to change that name again. And I'm probably gonna have to change my login again

and all that. But I'm trying to figure out a way to make it off my recently watched. And I couldn't figure it out, so I just started watching like 10 things that I don't really want to see. Love it. But just so that I can have that when my page opens up

and I don't have to look at Jason Tatum. So, that's my story about that. Yeah I'm asking it right now if there's a way to do that because you have to figure that there's somebody, some son or husband or somebody has tried to figure this out before right? Yeah maybe I could go to the last one and let it run to the end and maybe then it'll go off because it thinks you're done watching. I don't know. Yeah, well, it looks like the robot says, Dan's way is the right way. Sorry about this delay. I'm going to get better as the show goes on at figuring this out. Now you talk. Now! Okay. Okay. No. I don't want to be remiss, but I am remiss. I would be remiss if we don't promote the Dumb Zone Generic Summer event at many opportunities, especially at the beginning

of the program. This is brought to us by Qualis Roofing. This is one week from Saturday. We are less than double digit days away. Coming up. One week from Saturday, it is at the local shacks at Austin Ranch. Should you be worried that is in Austin and you're gonna have to drive a far away, never fear. It is in the colony. Why is it called the local shacks at Austin Ranch?

I don't know. But it's in the colony. Why is it called the local shacks at Austin Ranch? I don't know. But it's in the colony, or it'll be on YouTube if you wanna just watch. We'll have a couple of bands there and a comedian, and kind of do our show. We don't really know what we're going to do. We kind of do our show, we'll have a band come up. We'll have a comedian come up. We're trying to do. We kind of do our show, we'll have a band come up.

We'll have a comedian come up. We're trying to do something that's never been done before. I tried to give you an idea, it got shot down. We're mixing comedy and music, what was your idea? Let's have Bluey there. That was a good idea. We just didn't have time to get a crappy Bluey costume. I mean, I don't understand, I don't understand why we're not building this whole thing around the one

Event everyone's looking forward to which is Blake's tight ten Yeah, I don't know if we have time I mean I have a 45 minute set ready Oh, I can't dial that down. Listen. I don't this is you know what this is This is like, you know, your buddy's like yeah, I can lift that much that much weight you're like. I don't think you can and he says well You know I can't we don't have a weight bench And you snap your fingers and a weight bench appears with a few plates guys like yeah I think I could do a little comedy well now if I'm telling you I've been you were 300 You can invent 100 in front of me. That's a waste of time. I'm not gonna do that

Listen bud the evening is yours. I'm sure we would all be happy to step aside to hear those wacky tales from Garland all right so join us one week from Saturday where Blake apparently will not do comedy for the masses unless you really chant his name and do some other stuff like that. On today's program, it is Thursday, so we had the big Thursday mailbag thingy. We might have some gummy thoughts in there. We will, as always, have sports. I have a review of what I did yesterday with my two daughters who are home, were home for just a week from college. And then they're back to their college town as of this morning. But we went to Six Flags. So I have an exclusive review today. But I would like to lead with an interesting note. And this is something that maybe you could even call it today in Twitter.

But it is something I have seen. Have you guys seen this? It pops up on Twitter every now John Tyler, the 10th president of the United States, is still alive. Have you guys seen that off and on? I've just seen this pop up every now and again, every year, every two years, something. It'll be like, did you know? No, I don't think I did know that. That's insane. Well, he just died.

So what are we talking about? Early 1800, okay. Yeah, he just died. John Tyler, the 10th president of the US became president in 1841 at the age of 51. He had 15 children. Ha ha ha ha. That's awesome. The oldest was born in 1953

when the former president Tyler was 63 years old. So old guys had been tagging younger girls it's a tale as old as time. I mean, I don't know that we like often enough zoom out and appreciate that, uh, that progress we've made as a society, you know, and it's definitely still that way in parts of the underdeveloped world. And listen, ladies, I'm not asking for any favors, you know, and ladies, I'm not asking for any favors, you know? Well, let's just be honest. A guy just died who was the president's grandson,

and his grandfather was tagging chicks 40 years younger than him. So when was- We're not that far removed. What's the Civil War dates? 1860s. Okay, so this guy's well before the Civil War he was president. Well before.'s well before the Civil War he was president.

Well before. 20 years before the Civil War, he's president. His oldest kid was named Lion Tyler, kind of like Ted Cruz. He was for a while known as Lion Ted. His oldest son was born in 1853. So the former president is 63 years old. He had a kid in 1928 when he was 75. Whoa.

So he's the Mega Man here. Okay. Do you know anything about his seed? Like was he skeet skeet? Hey, do you know anything about his, uh, seed? Like was he skeet skeet? Um, what do you mean? I mean, did he have like a ton of kids too? Cause I feel like if you, if your dad had 15 kids, uh, and then you are

still having kids at 72, you probably also had like 15, maybe 20 kids. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think you started at 70. I don't know. I'm saying that guy might've been like Michael Jordan. He might've had them before, but it says here in this note, he had two children with his second wife

in 1925 and then 1928. He was 72, he was 75. This guy that he had when he was 75 just died four days ago and he was 95 Looks like he only had six kids. Okay. So anyway Then this interesting note will not pop up again, but John Tyler had a grandson,

like just a grandson, not a great-grandson, not a great-great-great-great-grandson that was born, or that was alive last week. You know, the problem with having 15 kids is your wife is pregnant a lot Unless you're into that Some dudes are unless you're into that. Yeah You know, I used to think about that gets so grossed out because my my grandmother had like I think eight or nine kids And it was over, you know, 20 22 years I'm like, how did that work? You're just pregnant for two decades. And at some point, I mean, what percentage of time when my grandfather was having sex with my grandmother,

was she pregnant over those two decades? It's gotta be like 30%. It's disgusting. 30? Well, they say pregnant ladies are horny. They do say that. And what do you say? What do you know about that, Blake? Well, we've done this. Yeah, I can confirm.

Okay, well, that was back then. I didn't know if it's still the same for the second kid because if people don't know and you don't just follow his wife on Instagram, Blake's wife is pregnant. He didn't tell us. You found out. I did find out because because Jake found out.

And then Jake seems perturbed to this day that you didn't tell your two friends. But I like knowing where we're at in our relationship, that you don't consider us friends. Very upfront and honest. Yeah. By the way, just a little bit more presidential progeny info.

John Tyler Tide, perhaps with William Henry Harrison, he has 10 confirmed, 6 alleged. Okay. So he's, yeah, that's, the rest of these that have high numbers are all like mostly confirmed, but yeah, just 6 president kids out there. That's awesome. Makes Trump look tame. So yesterday, if I could tell you about my trip to Six Flags with my two daughters who demanded that we go to Six Flags. They're in town.

They're like 20 years old, but they're like, Hey, can we just go to Six Flags? So you have to say yes, right? Of course. When was the last time either of you two were at Six Flags? For me, it's been a good, it's been 20 years. I think I went one time post high school. Um, and then, you know, what I've done way more of is your, your water parks, your hurricane Harbor, wet and wild, Schlitterbond that stuff.

But I haven't been to like a legit theme park like that in my adult life. Really? Yeah. probably 2013 for me. Your kids are still a little too small throw that giant hunk of money they think the Grapevine Fair is like why why go somewhere bigger than the Grapevine Fair they're like this is great. Yeah yeah that's what I was telling you guys the Peppa Pig place is sick because they're all like mid sized roller coasters. You know what I mean? Like it's not like, Hey, you might be tall enough to ride this kid or this adult

coaster. They're like midsize for us. We're a ways away from six flags. Yeah. And if you're there, you probably feel cucked. Like you're looking at these huge coasters, but then they take you to the tiny one. Yeah. You can ride this one. Yeah. Might as well give me a Shirley Temple to drink. So... Hey. Ooh, that'll be cool.

Delay on anything I think is mildly funny to see if Jake agrees. You got to do the norm. Because you don't ever think anything is funny. So... Something. The one guy I might be able to get. Oh, you wanted me to laugh at the Shirley Temple joke? Ha ha ha ha ha.

That's funny. Ha ha ha ha ha. I thought I prefaced it with mildly funny, but. So I'm at Six Flags. First thing I'm doing is looking at a big map. By the way, the girls run away from me right away, which is great. Had a couple calls to make. In fact, you heard me walk into the Six Flags as we were on a bit of a Business Wednesday call together, as I had to, you know, pull an earbud out now and again to navigate my way into the parking lot.

You're just like Axe. I am. Was it not just hot as hell yesterday? It was actually quite pleasant. Yesterday was one of the best days you could have ever gone to Six Flags. It was cloudy half the time. Okay, good. And any time of cloudiness, it felt beautiful.

Now once the sun did get out and start baking you, that was a little rough. But I've been to Six Flags when it's 105 degrees the whole time you're there, nothing but baking sun. And it's, it's not great. It's not great. Yeah, no, that's an experience I don't want. The only way I can be outside in that kind of heat is if I'm running. You know what I mean? Like if I'm just standing and I have, it's a me thing. I may be a little bit more open to this,

like post some level of mental stability, but I just, dude, I can't wait in a line. I just can't wait for a long time in a line. Like I start thinking in my head of just, I guys should be doing something else and I don't necessarily tie, oh, I'm in a line, this is gonna be worth it for the roller coaster. So somehow with the kids,

I think I could talk myself into it, but I just, I don't like waiting in line. And I'm really not that into simulated death. You know, like I don't really like being scared like that to me. I mean, I'll do, I would do like wacky stuff, like jackass style stuff to be funny, but I'm not like death defying guy.

So the, the, the input sucks, the output sucks. I just, I could, I could never really do it, man. So then you add in the heat, but if it's moderately, you know, if it's eighties, you get the little misters, those ministers hit you and you're like, I can deal with this. You know? What about skydiving?

Kind of simulated death to a degree. Dude, I'm gonna be honest with you. I thought this at the time and the more I think about it, going away from it, I never was worried about any safety at all. And really the reason I did it is I wanted to look out of an airplane by myself at that altitude. And that honestly, I remember more than even the skydive part. It's so safe, dude. Like, if I was doing it by myself or something, you know, not tandem,

maybe. But I don't know. I don't like being scared. I don't watch horror movies. I don't know. I don't do well with simulated fight or flight. I was thinking that exact same thing as I'm on the Texas giant and my girls are in the car behind me yelling at me to lift my hands up and basically calling me a pussy. It was reading between the lines because I and I had my head down too. I'm like, and I'm thinking in my head logic, like logically, like why? What am I doing? Right. What is happening here? Why are we? Why is this a thing that people like to do? And I remember the first time I ever did the Texas Giant, like when they first opened it,

you know, and it's wooden and I just can't imagine putting my current body through that because I remember at 12 speaking of being through that, because I remember at 12, speaking of being a pussy, I remember at 12 being like, does anybody else feel like they just got tackled? Like, I'm hurting. It's kind of whipping you around. And well, this one is I don't know. Yeah, this one is, of course, the new.

Ah, Texas giant, because it's not the one where the lady died. That's speaking of real quick, in the event that you would have had your head or anything else fly off at Six Flags yesterday. There's one number your family needs to know. That's 214-817-333-3333. That's a personal injury. I would call the Frankles if I were you. 3333 that's a personal injury I would call the Frankles if I were you. Are you just working in a conversational live spot that just didn't even feel like an ad? I just heard talk of somebody's person being injured and there's a click in my head like

any good Texan that when I hear of an injurious claim that could be made I know who to call. Why is that? That's a great point. That is a, they are the best and they will get you what you deserve. Cause I'm positive whatever place you were at during that injury would be like fighting against that. Like, I don't know that you need millions of dollars.

Your head was already hanging off. Yeah. How about a season pass and a lightning pass? But I am with you on the slow ascension to the top is when you finally start to think of why am I doing this, not in the 90 minutes you spend in line. And then it's all of a sudden, no! I went out, no, no, no, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind.

Right, you can't get out then. I was looking to the right too, like as you're going up, because there's steps. And then they're like, look over there, you can see the stadium, you can see the ballpark. And I'm like, okay, yeah, it's really high, it's really high. I can't believe how high it is.

When I drive by now, like when we've done shows out at the ballpark or I've gone to games out there, it is kind of like going back to your elementary school or even your high school where you're like, geez dude, like this is not, because now we've all traveled, right? Like you've been to the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower.

But when I was 11, like you could have convinced me that the Shockwave was the tallest building in the lower 48. I'm like, holy, you know, and you just look at it now, but then when you're on it, you know. Well, you talk about feeling beat up too. and you just look at it now, but then when you're on it, the moment of truth. Well, you talk about feeling beat up too. I wouldn't go on the one next to the Texas Giant.

I don't think that's the Shockwave, but maybe, is Shockwave a water park, a water ride? I don't know. Okay, they have a really, really big one just past the Texas Giant, if you're walking around. And when my daughters got off of that, they were like, I think I blacked out for like a second. Like it really shakes your head so hard.

I'm like, that doesn't seem good. I'm surprised you got on one. That I got on the Texas Giant? Yeah, or any roller coaster. Well, I was implored too, and I got on a few rides. But you should be surprised. I didn't I didn't really want to. So you're looking at the map if you're at Six Flags I thought this was weird they had like each map was sponsored and it looked like Coca-Cola would sponsor each one.

And I know somebody like Blake would go, why do they want to put their name on that? Who's, you know, he's really not understanding the concept of advertising sometimes. But I thought it was weird that the certified autism center also was a sponsor on this particular map. So I don't know if there's a relation autistic people like knowing where they're going like.

Chill out RFK. Oh I thought you were doing like a Coca-Cola or Diet Coke. No no I just didn't know why why would they even advertise at why not a podcast? Why not hit us up if you wanna, hey, we have a countdown clock you could sponsor before the show, a certified autism center. I don't know, I don't know what this is. I don't know, a certified autism center, maybe you're a parent, you see that,

and you're like, I'd like to know more about that, you check it out, or I don't know, I don't really have any, I don't have any disabilities but maybe it's like if you're somebody who goes to certified autism center it's like seeing you know like a Cowboys bar when you're out of town you're like oh shit my logo is up there I don't know I don't like what it's supposed to do what if we opened up the rogue autism center?

And like we- Yeah, black site, not certified. No, this is holistic autism center. We'll heal you with these crystals. Anyway, my question, okay, another map thought if you're ever at Six Flags. So they have these giant maps every whatever feet. And they never have a you are here on it. Oh man, I've noticed that a couple places recently.

Every map I'm like, okay, so that's, there's the Superman ride, where's the Superman ride? And okay, it's there to there. And where am I on this map? Well, I don't see that water. I think it says I'm next I should be next to water like it was it really threw me for a loop and then they also don't have like a QR code where you just download the map so I could walk around and do that. You got it I guess you got to go get a physical map but I don't know. The point is, I'm ripping their map system.

My question about Six Flags overall, is Six Flags doing okay? And I'm going to need you to go back, Jake, if you haven't been there in 20 years. And is it, will little Jake have a better memory, or does little Dan have a better memory? Because I would go to Six Flags every summer visiting Uncle Gary for sure. But I seem to remember it being lines are like two hours long. Everything is packed. Nothing is closed. But maybe I just didn't notice it when I was a kid. Because now you're walking by, they have like the superhero area of Six Flags. They have that, you know, they have Texas, they have France, but then they also have like the whatever it is. I'm not sure if it's Marvel or what that bit is, but they have a place where you can

see, you know, you got a Superman ride and a Batman ride, but the Hall of Justice was closed. Yeah, but that's DC. I was like's DC. I might have wanted to go to the Hall of Justice. Half of the Old West town is closed. Oh no. Which really did help me because after I was there for a few hours and I'm baking in the sun, I started looking for air-conditioned places. And so one of the things on the map that I did find was like the saloon or whatever. So okay I'll go to the saloon and just sit in there. Maybe this should have portended things to come, but being able to go in there and just sit down in the Old West saloon at like 12 years old and you're like, yep this is literally what I

want for my whole life. I never want to leave this building, this vibe, this is where I belong right here. Well, I push- So real quick, I know there's a delay, but the closures, like are these, none of them, does it indicate that it's technically related? Like it's a malfunction or is it just like, I don't know, demand is low? Like, what do we think?

I personally was thinking demand was low, but I do not know. Some of the things were like, was thinking demand was low, but I do not know. Some of the things were like, you know, closed down because they were working on it. In fact, I took a picture of one of it said, I didn't know if we wanted to use this as a slogan for us, but they would have a sign up and it says, we're building excitement for 2026. Ha ha! Hell yeah! And that can be our thing. We're building excitement for 2026. Um, but is Six Flags doing okay?

Uh, because the Old West, oh! When I went into the saloon though, that was closed. However, the swinging saloon door let me in. So it's all dark. There's just a couple of little lights on. There's couches. Oh. And I just hold up there for about a half hour and laid down on a couch.

Wow. Looking at my phone, playing on the phone. Strong move. Air conditioning. Yeah, it's a green room, basically. Nobody knew I was in there. Nobody was working in there. Like, nobody came in or out the whole time.

Somehow, I just happened upon this place that was closed and air conditioned, and it was awesome. The Catwoman ride was closed. Several smaller gift shops were closed. You know, the small gift shops around. Drink refill stations closed. The arcades. Get your money back.

Dead. Like no one was ever in one of the arcades, you know, where you got the big claw that picks up the big stuffed animal. In fact. Yeah, it's just all the midway fair games. Just kind of spare versions of those. Literally. Yeah, it's just all the Midway Fair games, just kind of spare versions of those. Literally zero people playing any Midway Fair game.

Because the shoot a basket game, knock the blocks down with the softball or something, pop the balloon with the thing, the ping pong ball in a fishl, picking up a duck and seeing what's on the bottom. All these things are manned, but one guy would be in charge of four games in a row. So he would just walk down to the one end of the games and then he'd walk down to the other end just kind of looking for people. The guy with the mic, well various guys had mics, was always like the guy at at the basketball hoop is always trying to implore people. Hey man. Oh yeah. He'll challenge your manhood. Especially if a guy's with a lady.

Oh yeah. It's a big date day it looked like. There's a lot of people holding hands and stuff, which is super gay. But nobody was carrying around a big stuffed animal. but nobody was carrying around a big stuffed animal. You know, they just not one game. I did not see one person playing one game. Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like that's a positive sign for society. I mean, you could look at it on one hand, I guess, and be like, yeah, nobody's got the money to just throw around on Midway games. But on the other, and I know it's not all the kid, the parents involved, but we used to talk about, I mean, they've got to teach kids more financial literacy. And then we'd hear from teachers that would tell us,

well, they do now. Maybe these kids are like, are you out of your mind? I'll give you $4 for no chance at winning something I don't want. Because when I was like 10, a Mavericks branded basketball was like, I'll, I need to spend all of my money to try to win that. But if it doesn't matter to you and the prize or the reward sucks, you're like,

I don't know what sort of reward do you want? I don't know. Give me a couple options in a startup. That's what most, like a 10 year old now doesn't want a little basketball, I don't think. Yeah. I wonder. I mean, I remember winning one of those basketballs,

and it was the crappiest basketball ever. It was lopsided by the time. Oh. Dribbled it 20 times or so, and then it's got a little. Yeah, then you had to take it on the flash with you. Dent in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's also true.

Anyway, caricature lady. Okay, um, caricature lady? Okay, let me see here. How did I write this yesterday? Every person who works as either a face painter, like the, they have henna face painting, or caricature sketch artists, I think they might also work as a dog groomer. Yeah, yep. Just the physical attributes, just everything about them. I feel like that, if you know what I mean, you know what I mean.

Yeah, absolutely. So I don't want to stereotype either, but Six Flags is doing it for me. Every one of the basketball hoop things was manned by a black guy. Every one of them. Yeah, that's typically the case. I don't know. I feel like when I was in high school or junior high, this may be completely I feel like when I was in high school or junior high, this may be completely just false memory, but I feel like hot girls would work at theme parks. Like the hot high school girls or hot college girls,

I felt like, especially at water parks. But I just remember seeing like, oh, this is where older hots work. And it does not seem that way now. Yeah, I don't think so. I used to always think that'd be the greatest job. I dreamed of working at Cedar Point when I was growing up. And speaking of Cedar Point, so I saw a family walking around and they were wearing...

theme park shirts. Like, the lady had an old Cedar Point shirt, which looked like it was 20 years old, like real worn out. Ha ha! That's's so so cool. And is this like if you go to a Rangers game but all you have is a twins jersey but you wear it because you're going to a baseball game but the twins aren't playing? Yeah maybe or it's that or it's like a road game like their home park is Cedars North or whatever and you know the case is sorry I just didn't or whatever but now they're on the road, just paying their respects.

But there are people, man, I don't know how this, I don't know, there's lots of different people out there, Dan, but people who make theme parks their lives, it's an insane, insane niche to me, but it's not small. Yeah, you've heard about the Disney adults. Oh, sure. Sure. People are getting attacked now on Twitter. When you do go on the Texas Giants,

I saw some people upset that they couldn't do this, because you go see your face. Keep their head? They take the picture of you. Yeah. And yeah, so me, I'm like this, almost crying. My kids are, they can't believe it. It's the greatest second of their life.

And they know where the camera is, because they've already written it a few times. And so they're trying to make certain faces. And I'm just trying, logically going through my mind, why would I put myself through this? I shouldn't do this. But you can't take a picture of it. People are trying to take a picture with their phone

of the picture so that they don't have to buy the picture. Yeah. And they put like real, they make it really hard. Like it's not just a tiny watermark. You can barely see that it's you. It's funny. But if you want that, you can pay for it. Did you get a pink thing?

What's that? Are you still doing that? Pink thing. That sounds familiar. It was like a frozen treat that you could only get there. It was very popular. I'm surprised I'm not hearing from Clayton right now. I used to think Dipping Dots were only at amusement parks.

Yeah, and for a long time they actually were. Then they expanded into malls. And now, you know, you can just get them. I saw a guy get some with a beer the other day in the morning. I was like, fuck yeah, dude. Like, I missed that. Caricature will cost you $26.99.

No. Damn, son. No. Tips. And then I said, she was trying to pitch it to me, and I said, do you guys take tips? And she goes, well, we're not supposed to. But that's why they make it $27.

So you give them three dollars? Well, who's carrying around money though? I don't know. I like to see even charges on my credit card although speaking of carrying around money and you I Saw the first one in the wild. Maybe I now I'm just thinking about it But I saw someone at the machine buying a water With a Venmo credit card. Yeah. A lot of response on that. Didn't know if we should wait until viewer mail today or not, but we may have this guy living like the kid in blank check by Monday.

We'll tease ahead. Oh no. Is he going to bankrupt me? People are just like, what do I send some money? Let's give this guy a great weekend. You know, summer's just kicking in. What do you want? Also, speaking of buying, so now you got to buy your water.

Well, you could go up to a thing, which I did after this. But I bought a water at a vending machine. And it took my money off the credit card. Well, I used the phone, and it vibrated and all that. And I checked my bank account. money off the credit card, like you, well, use the phone and it vibrated and all that. And I checked my bank account and yes, the $5.99 was charged for that water, but it would not come out of the vending machine. Now what do I do? I'm as far away from like the front as you could be. So I took a picture of the vending machine and like where it is. And

then I, I just never, I never followed up on it. Like I just ate the 599 and I just thought, okay, next time I buy a water, I have to see the water and a person has to hand me the water. So I go over to one of those little counters and there's a guy handing me a water and he turns the thing around because I gave him the credit card, he scanned it,

turns the thing around so that I could input the tip as he looks at me. Yeah. I'm like, you just handed me a water, bro. But he also really distinctly explained the difference between Smart Water and Dasani, so I was like, okay. The lowest one. Oh, a little bit of a small yay.

So I looked at the lowest one is 15. Yeah. I'm like, I don't do that. And then he's standing there. So to not do the lowest one, you have to hit custom and then type in something. And really, what's the difference? We're talking a mere $0.05 or $0.06.

I don't know what is the difference between 15% on a $5.99 bottle of water. So then I just hit the 15. Yeah, but I don't know what is the difference between 15% on a $5.99 bottle of water. So then I just hit the 15. Yeah, but I don't know, man. Everybody has to do that because I went to another stand later for more water and the girl just rang it up and then just handed me the water and I was waiting for like, we're going to go through this tip thing and no, you don't have to do it. You see that sometimes at Starbucks in line, like sometimes you can tell they're embarrassed

about it and they'll like hit no for you. Yeah. You it, and they'll they'll like hit no for you Yeah, whenever they they're like oh, don't worry about it or oh, I know and I want to tip that person I know or that I feel like all the time. I see that like you know yeah I don't know man. I feel like you did you just tell me that a 20 ounce bottle of water is 599 now Part one part two. I think I'm getting I think I'm getting my money back. I want the water. I'm getting that water. Over five bucks. It's not even a money thing. It's a principal thing. I'm already pissed off that I'm paying six dollars for a water. My wife told me that a bag of Doritos is seven dollars now. Now the economy is real to me. Well, as I look at the alcoholic drinks that you don't have to worry about anymore. It's true. Coming out ahead.

I do want to know, am I old man in seeing that a can of beer is $12.99? A can. One can. Is that common? No, that's not common. I mean, you know, you're, you're, I don't even know if you can buy, I'm sure you can buy a 12 ounce beer at a game. But typically I think you're getting a 16 or 20 ounce for something in the $12 range.

But a can of beer I guess is usually like $6, $7 bucks. The mixed nuts, which it says it's 180 calories, so that can't be many nuts if I know my nuts and calories, which I do. $6.49. many nuts if I know my nuts and calories, which I do. 649. That's like a handful of nuts. Yeah, man. I mean, I feel like the the the methods of old are back. You know, kids like to do stuff that was in vogue once upon a time, like just again, normalize on TikTok, bringing your own shit to theme parks, movies, games.

It's fun. I didn't actually, I didn't know that was actually beaten until I heard people say it was beaten. Because I didn't really know anybody else who bought stuff for the game either. It's not beaten. It's fun. And you could find that out this September at dumb zone rangers night when we encourage you to bring a court of your favorite food. Yeah, I used to hate being, knowing that we were going to Rangers game, but stopping before the game to eat. They used to drive me nuts

because I wanted to eat at the game. I wanted nachos and all that other stuff. And then sure enough, last Sunday, on the way to the Rough Riders game, we stopped to eat because I didn't want to pay for whatever at the game. Well, I think my kids are- Blake, it's second and nine. You don't need to run it here.

My kids are old enough to realize though that amusement park food sucks. So they made me stop at Choloso at 10 in the morning so that we could get some breakfast tacos. Well done. Is it racist? The Mexico area,

because you know, it's Six Flags over Texas, so Mexico is one of them, and they have one little area that's just called Mexico, which did excite a family that I was walking behind that said, Ah, Mexico! Like, they seemed to this really fit their scene. That's really weird. That's really weird. That's really weird. We're not in Iceland. Where they're like,

we're representing our culture. It's your half of us. It's just all, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, each ride does, first of all, AI has taken our jobs because the kid doesn't even read, or the kid doesn't tell you thank you for a ride and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags it's just a recording that does that now.

Now you're an old man. Okay. It's just a recording and then a recording in Spanish as well. And I thought that seems a little too woke for me. So I was yeah I guess there was a woke land too. But in Mexico there is a ride called El Sombrero. And it's just a big hat and you sit around. But it's just a big hat that goes up and down and around. I've definitely vomited feet away from the Sombrero before. What else? Oh, OK.

The kids, when they rode the ride that they blacked out on, the second time they rode it, because they do have some of the roller coasters will have like a pouch now in your car that you could put your phone and glasses and hat or whatever in there and then zip it. So it's right there with you. Or you can just set your stuff on the other side of the car. There's like big wooden boxes that are just open kind of like a locker but it's just a box on the ground and you just set your stuff in there. And it seems to be the honor system really, really works. My girls said they just put their phone and stuff in there every time and nobody, they weren't worried at all that somebody would steal their phone because it's every other

car. You know, there's going to be another car coming back to that could just take your stuff and they don't. So, yeah, man, I don't, I see that in society quite often that whether it's the gym or I don't think in general, you see that and then And then you hear about it with other countries too. And I mean, some of it's like shocking the level of security that they feel, but you know, like the, Hey, we just leave our babies on the street. Whenever we are walking into this cafe and they're in the park together,

we leave this or that. I think, I think people just kind of can, can figure it out. Just got to trust them a little bit. But other countries, my daughter studied abroad in France as you know, and she said they would never, in France, this stuff would all be stolen right away. Like you could not have this honor system in France. That's interesting. And, oh, so they had me hold their phone for them though, when they went on this, the ride that makes your head explode.

And I sat down somewhere for a few minutes, but then I went and moved somewhere else in a better position where I could see them walk out of the exit. And then I, it was taking quite some time. And I thought maybe they had walked out before and then missed me. And I just thought of the days

when I went to the amusement park and I remember half accidentally, half on purpose, cause I do this. I would separate myself from the family and just go do my own thing. And my mom being like, once we reunited, she was like, oh my gosh, I was so worried about you. You were lost. And I mom being like, once we reunited, she was like, oh my gosh, I was so worried about you, you were lost.

And I was like, I wasn't lost. I thought everything was great. But how did people deal with, cause I just for that five minutes, I was like, where are my kids? I can't track them on find my phone. I can't, their watch isn't hooked up to that. I don't know, like, how will we ever get a hold of each other?

Do they know my phone number if they had to, like, ask someone else? Oh, my gosh, I have any other number that's not in my contacts silenced, so I won't even see the phone ring if they do call me. That is, that society changed super, super fast on that front. But I definitely remember the theme park is where it would drive home. Occasionally you would hear, you know, they're calling somebody's name out over the loud speaker.

But other than that, the truth is I don't really know. I guess you just eventually filter out when the park closes because you just make it back up to the front, you know? But that's terrifying. My mom has had a story of trying to drive to Six Flags when she was, I think, I'm gonna get the age wrong, but it was older than you probably think, like 20, and it taken her like five hours to get home

because she's just lost. She's like a young, maybe even high school age female. And you're like, I don't have any idea how to get back to where I was. And you just drive, try to figure it out by asking for help. And then the roast twins have released their official rankings of the rides that they rode. They were keeping a note page.

Okay. And then they would discuss after they got off a ride, where should we, is that better than Aquaman? Or is that, where's it ranked to the Texas Giant? And then they would decide where to put it in their rankings. From nine to one, the Rose Twins rankings on favorite rides, Pandemonium, Batman, Aquaman, Riddler, Superman, that's five, and the top four would be Joker, Texas Giant at three, Mr. Freeze at two, and the Titan as the number one roller coaster at Six Flags.

Do you break, did you bring a Dr. Pepper can or something? Or how did you get in? 39 cents. Does that still do that? I don't know. No, I went online. When you go online, it scares you and it's like yelling at you to buy this online.

Because it says $90 at the gate or $60 here online. And you're like, or whatever the price was and it's yeah okay I will absolutely buy it online so no one was doing the fair games and everything was closed but how are the lines because that seems like y'all wrote everything there that's why that's another reason why is is six flags doing okay you didn't need a flash pass. You would be fine. I mean, truthfully, if you're just looking at their stock price, it's not bad, bad.

You know, they had downtime during COVID, some recovery. It's actually higher than I would have thought. Yeah, I mean, maybe- It was also a Wednesday. Yeah, it was also a Wednesday. School is out, but- Yeah, school's out. But but also maybe they've just made some operational changes to where logistically,

like shit just works better. You know, I mean, I don't know what that would be beyond the fast pass, but I think they're probably doing okay. I don't think they're long for this world. Like I think when I'm a grandparent, that I don't know how popular the theme park's gonna be but they got a little juice left in them. Well, generation or two. When I was sitting out with some of the olds waiting for kids to get off their the rides sometimes there'd be some kids there with

the olds just staring at their phone doing stuff on their phone. Like I don't want to ride the Texas giant either with my brother, I just want to play on my phone. And so my daughters would ridicule that and call them screen agers. Oh! There we go. Son, I love that. Which I told them I love it,

and I'm like, oh my God, that's great. And they're like, yeah, it's like two years old. Like everybody's been saying it for a long time. I'm like, okay, I just heard it now and I think it's great. Yeah, I love it. And I should incorporate that into my game. All right, so that's my story.

I hope you guys liked it. I hope Blake found some of it mildly amusing. I loved it. Whoa, he loved it. Let's get into sports. If indeed there is any. Oh yeah, I like that. What if this is brought to us by our HVAC company? Does anybody know what that is? Off top of your head? I do. It's our good friends at Community Mechanical, the aforementioned Community Mechanical website, community.community.dfw.com.

Phone number, 469-667-7290. Travis and the fellas over there. I mean, he's the only one actually whose name I know. He might be the only person who works there. They will take care of you. They took care of me. Had an addition to the house needed to cooling and heating They installed a mini split. I didn't know what that was, but it's a super slick sleek like discrete

Unit now as you barely even know it's there. It's great cools cools fantastic and Dan They have some specials just for you the dumb zone listener. Oh Now you're throwing it to me to finish the copy. To tell them about it. Yeah, well, if you sign up for preventative maintenance, $50 in dumb zone merch. If you get a new system, they will pay for a sit-in where you could sit in on a show in the den

or in our downtown Dallas studios, all from Community Mechanical. They're fantastic. Seriously. Did you get their number yet? I did, but I'll do it again. You can call or text. I was at a Starz game with Travis and I saw him answer business texts and phone calls while the action was going on. The phone number, 469-667-7290. We have a few things in the world of sports. The Rangers haven't scored in forever. They led off last night, Josh Smith was in at shortstop and he led the game off with a single

and then they didn't get a hit again. Or I think they might've drawn a walk, but it's historically bad, historically bad. And I am actually trying to watch baseball this year, which is an unfortunate time for this, but they're getting Seager back or they got him back, D-H-ing now he's going, supposed to play a shortstop this weekend.

Evan Carter's supposed to have a rehab assignment, but it's tough, bro. They have two or three of the worst hitters in baseball. If you attended a Blue Jays and Rangers game, through the entire series you got to witness seven runs. Both teams? It was both teams. It was two to one Monday, two zero Tuesday, two zero yesterday. Now there are some old school baseball people who would be very happy about that.

I'm sure the games were lightning. And some of that was, and some of that was, you know, you're, you're straight up pitching dual, but some of it is just the Rangers have there's been, you know, Jared described in at bat from, I want to say Monday or Sunday's game when we had him on, but it was one last night too. And it just, it's just a Dole-Eason Semi-Inner. They lost. They're completely lost. Um, yeah. What do you guys think?

Oh, P1, uh, would you mind? I was just going to say this. What do you think of, so the thought of, uh of Bochy, like they got rid of their hitting coach. He's a Hall of Famer. And you considered it an honor that he would come out of retirement to actually accept your offer to manage this team. And then you won a World Series. How long is his leash?

Like how many people get fired around him? Like could Bruce Bochy ever be fired from this job this year? Well the weird thing about it is they already have, what's his name, they already have their manager in waiting. Oh the guy from Florida or whatever? Shoemaker? Skip Shoemaker? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what's always interesting about managers and waiting, is that they're typically associated with the manager. Now in his case, I think he maybe has connections beyond just like Bochy, but that's a tough thing because if you end up wanting to fire the manager,

doesn't that say something about the backup or you end up wanting to fire the manager, doesn't that say something about the backup or the, excuse me, the interim manager? The manager and waiting. So I don't know. I don't know what they do or what they do. Chris Young, Bruce Bochy, the Simeon does not appear to be getting better. Uh, Doley's these guys may just be hitting the end of their run, but who knows? They're also getting a lot of bad luck.

So they're at a make or break point of their season. Uh, I had a couple of notes from, uh, in who is our resident statistician, meaning he knows some math. And he sent me this about the, um, the odds in the playoffs in the NBA and the NHL. NBA teams come back from down 3-1 3.5% of the time. NHL teams come back from down 3-1 10% of the time. So about three times more than the NBA. Just looking at that alone, he kind of went into with this large sample size, that means there's more variance or random luck associated

with hockey versus basketball. Also in a low scoring sport like hockey, each goal has an outsized impact on win percentage, etc. Just so happens the probability of winning three hockey games in a row is the same as calling three coin flips in a row correctly, which is a 12.5% chance. Which I only mention because that's what we're looking at here. Starting tonight with the stars down 3-1 and I told you guys that I Like to look at that natural stat chick trick website During games because they update all that stuff like per period you're high danger and quality and coursey and Finley all these advanced stats

Hang the banner on that the stars seem to win that every game They're just Getting outscored by a million. You know what? I listened to, on the way down here, I listened to Kelly Forbes, Julie's husband and former Dallas Stars video coach, video coordinator on with the Cirque Boys. Learned a lot, actually. I mean, it did have a little bit of the vibes of Slapshot, you know what I mean, where the guys are interviewing, they're like, what is Slashing? But they were watching a Star Wars game live. But just from a, hey, what did Kelly do for a job?

What sort of stuff was he doing? We've talked to him about it. It was awesome content, I thought, of like, you know, they're watching the game with them and then here's a play And they're like, what would you do right now? That was super cool. That's kind of the theory behind like the ESPN film room right there in the national championship. Like how does a coach watch the game and those were awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

Yeah, yeah Yeah and but in hockey is just like it moves so fast that there's a lot of time to talk about what's actually happening. And it was just, it was super cool to listen to. Um, and the only other sports, uh, I guess I have a couple, uh, sports things here. Where are you on the NBA, Dan, in this small market catastrophe? What? The fact that we might have an Indiana versus Oklahoma City?

Yeah, is this bore you? I guess more likely to watch, you know, if it's two kind of interesting big city teams. New York, Minnesota, perhaps. I think what it would do was prove to people that it's not fixed. Well, I'm going to go the fifth level brain genius and say, once you've accepted or decided that something can be rigged like the lottery, why wouldn't they then just continue to have to rig everything else? So I'm saying just like, uh, you know, like they, they, they had, they had to get flagged to Dallas and everybody's like, this is rigged. We got to throw them a red herring.

What better than Indianapolis and Oklahoma city in the finals? And they don't care because their new TV deal, which runs like 12 years, hasn't even kicked in yet. If there's ever a year where they could just throw two small market teams into the finals to throw you off the scent, it's this year. I love it. Yeah, they don't get, these ratings don't matter to Adam Silver at all. It's the biggest deal that you could have possibly imagined,

the biggest deal and it starts like next year. Right, right. And as long as they have somewhat good ratings at the end of this contract, they'll get another huge contract for TV ads. Yeah, yeah. Not worried about that right now anyways, but yeah. So that's a fun one. It's's the fact that Rick is back, man. I, I, I, I love it. I know we hated him for a period of time and he's a frustrating X, but I'm rooting for Rick, man. Big time.

For sure. He'll always be in our hearts. Correct. As yeah, I think so, man. Yeah, I think so. And I will certainly, you know, if indeed they get to the finals, and your previous stats from N, or Nick, I'll call him Nick, feels better.

Kind of, unless his last name is that of a former shooting guard. The... Where was I going with this? Oh, it'll be easy for me to root for the Pacers. Because I hate Oklahoma City, man. I don't know why. I just, I don't like it. I don't like tanking. I don't like... I don't like SGA. I view him as him versus Luca and people trying to tell me and he's winning an MVP and Luca should have won the MVP last year I think. Yeah. And I think Yoke should have won it this year. I thought his numbers were

outstanding. Like incredibly outstanding. So I don't like him at all. And I want them to fail. Yeah, they're just a, they're not like a hateable team in some sort of an eighties Pistons or even like a flashy Showtime Lakers. They're just super dorky. And maybe some people that makes it appealing to them, but I look at them and I'm just like, I don't like when these swag list MFers, you know,

I say what you will about Kobe Bryant. I wasn't the biggest fan, but when he won, I'm like, well, it feels like that guy should be winning NBA title. Just look at like the way he's playing. Watch, watch, watch his aura. The thunder is just like, God, the dorks won. I hate that. That's what it feels like to me. The fans are the dork fan like I just the SGA's game is not appealing to me So did you have a baseball things? Yeah, I wanted to show you a video Because we talked about this with Jared

Sandler about how the A's are kind of in a holdover until their their Vegas Stadium gets built they're playing at a minor league stadium and In fact Jared kind of said, Corey Seeger was not able to go warm up in between innings because their locker room was in the outfield. And maybe that's what led to some of his hamstring tightness, who knows. So the players can't go in the locker room between innings

and when a manager gets ejected, he's gotta make a long, slow walk out to the outfield. Oh really, he's gotta walk across the whole field? Yeah, and so this happened in the A's game about a week ago and it's pretty funny because typically the manager goes, kicks dirt, and fire it whenever you're ready, Clayton. The manager goes, kicks dirt, and fire it whenever you're ready, Clayton. The manager goes, kicks dirt, and then he goes back

into the dugout and then you never see him again. But here he gets tossed and then you just see him walking down the left field line as his fans are applauding him and he's gotta make the 300 foot walk to the outfield. Well at least that's the A's managers. That's theoretically their team. Yeah. But either way, it's great.

If it was the other manager though, you'd be throwing stuff at him and jeering him. But let's normalize this. Let's give him a walk out. A plod or even a... Jake is talking. Yeah, yeah, my bad, my bad. I think it's watching him walk like that

That's the distance in the amount of time where you were like thinking I Should start jogging. Yeah, I've been walking like what do I go? Yeah, that's a super long time to just walk in front of people at some point I kind of shift into the shuffle and it's not a cool walk because you're mad. And so you're just walking real tense and you're kind of stomping a little bit. But I thought that was great. What about the bullpen golf cart, you know, baseball hat or something has to come out and get you.

Sure. And then you guys can sponsor on it. But it's made up like a silent movie, like the police paddy wagon and it's got a little thing on it and yeah, they put you in there and it's like a little cage and you have to sit in the cage

as they drive you off because you've been thrown out. Hey, speaking of these bits, I mentioned to you guys we were talking Savannah bananas the other day that TC and our buddy Parker put together a tryout video for a Savannah Bananas prospect and he is going to camp he was accepted and is going to do the show to tell us about his experience along the way if you guys want he's gonna be on like their version of the Generals or whoever's whoever

they play oh Oh, really? OK, that's how you get your first taste into it? Yeah, I guess. And Parker told me this kid is a prospect. Not he's huge, huge prospect, but he still could potentially chase a big league career, but this is lucrative. He's got bits.

He plays the saxophone and stuff like that. So he's like hey this is my thing that's awesome excited about that couple of NFL things I had we'll start with the video Clayton you guys may recall that Stefan Diggs brother of Cowboys very own Trayvon Diggs. He recently signed a contract with who, Blake? The Vrable and the Patriots. That's right. Which I did not remember.

Frankly, I've forgotten about that. I didn't remember until this video started circulating and he actually had to answer on his behalf. I saw a headline about Vrable and Stefan Diggs and I thought, oh, I didn't know he signed with the Titans.'s weird why would you sign with them? Oh wow yeah you're way back there so I have not seen his response I know that Vrabel gave a very generic answer but what we're talking about is there's a video that surfaced so Diggs is now dating music artist Cardi B, who used to be married to Offset from Migos. And I think she's in this video. She's not in this video, but she is on the boat

where this video is taking place. There's other videos where his girlfriend Cardi B is dancing with the women you see, but what you see in the video is digs. You can play it. On a boat, partying, three women are talking to him, and he's kinda looking like he's laying down some ground rules here. They're in bathing suits, he's got chains on, and at some point he just produces, from his waist,

a pink baggie of what appears to be some sort of powdery substance. The women take it. Really happy to hear the Ja Rule. Still going. This is still the prime bone. So I don't know. It doesn't look good, but it also doesn't seem like it was surreptitiously or

Secretly recorded, you know, the camera is right in his face No one's trying to hide it. He flips the bag out like he's a you know You could be it looks like you're texting on your phone or something while you're recording maybe Maybe but it looks to me. It's also Four people staring at it. So I guess if they were all deceived, maybe you should, I would think be being an NFL superstar makes 20 mil a year. I feel like you're thinking about the, Oh, that guy's doing the old text while

he takes a video of me with controlled substances trick. Gotcha. Like, aren't you a little more has he not seen ballers Yeah, a little more scrupulous than that. I would think I don't know doesn't look good though. Brayville gave the We're gonna make good decisions on and off the field Hmm, and I've talked to him starting what was his response. Yeah Just zero days since accident or incident. Well, it's just that, that he probably should be at OTAs. And instead, he's on a boat partying with substances. And yeah, same thing of, we're going to,

he's doing his best bell check. OK, I thought you were saying Diggs has responded. Because to my knowledge, he hasn't. So yeah. Because you know how the media is. They see this video, then OTAs, hey, what do you think about Stavvan digs on the boat? Oh, yeah

Yeah Makes me think we got all all my digs does is work out grind Documentaries as to it and he has a funny kid And he has a funny kid. Yep. Did you want to hear from Jim Harbaugh at all? You told me about this. Or excuse me, John Harbaugh. Yeah. John Harbaugh because the Ravens have cut the greatest kicker in NFL history. The second greatest kicker in my opinion.

The second greatest kicker. I mean, I don't, it just depends on if you want to put him in the box of kicker. Playmaker, you know, athlete. That's, that's obvious to me. But so seven time pro bowler. And you know, a few months ago, I still can't really tell if this story was new or if it was dredged up or if it was new developments, but there were stories about Justin Tucker's behavior at massage parlors in the Baltimore DMV, like DC area, and that he had been banned from a few of them. And there were some old tweets, you know, you could find them dating back seven, eight years from tiny little accounts that said like, Hey,

ask Justin Tucker why he's banned from such and such. And these were sprinkled throughout the past, you know, handful of years, but they never really blew up or really never became a public thing. And then for some reason, suddenly it did when a local Baltimore paper or publication looked into it, they found a bunch of women, at least three or four, if I recall correctly, who had worked at massage parlors. These are like nice massage parlors,

franchise $150 an hour massage parlors, and I guess he had been just like Whipping it out. I don't know that he forced himself on anybody to Sean style But I think it was a little more than hey look at that I think there may have been some hand grabbing and some flopping over and I think he was maybe You know arcing a couple of 25 yarders from from the hash and you know if you've heard about five complaints that means there has been 95 accepted that hey cool Justin Tucker's here and I mean I think yes and I'm not trying to play some, play some card here, but that also

means there's a lot where it happened and they just didn't say anything, right? Like, so there's just also going to be that measure. There's a whole mix of them, but the point is, you know, it was happening and he denied it, you know, categorically, which is interesting because if you think about the Sean Watson and what his defense had available to them, similar to like P. Diddy, they can't deny that these things happened because there is, I think, some physical proof. They're denying that it wasn't consensual. You know what I mean? So Justin Tucker just said that didn't happen, which is a little different. Who knows? I don't think it's a criminal case at this time. But the point is that happened.

And you have to figure if those tweets are out there from 2014, 17. The Ravens knew about this, right? So they knew about it. And somewhere in there, very respected across the league, scouting and analytics department, they had a percentage in mind called the Justin Tucker getting jacked off threshold.

And once he dipped below that, they, those two things could not coexist. So you mean field goal percentage, the worst season? Yes. Yeah. Once his, uh, once his field goal percentage dipped and he on just raw numbers had the worst season of his career and was like 31st in field goal accuracy last year, they were like, man, that's too low for us

to know about all this stuff that's being dredged up. So there's, if we accept that, maybe a world where if he hits at a top five rate last year, that story comes out and the Ravens are like, we stand with Justin Tucker, Baltimore values. We don't, uh, we don't believe any of this, but he missed too many kicks. You want to talk about high pressure? Those are the, those are the highest pressure kicks in the history of the NFL. He's out there thinking, if I miss another one of these, I can't get away with trying

to get whacked off anymore. Yeah. Well, Harbaugh was asked, I listen to the whole Harbaugh. I've never done that before. I don't know. Just to see if there is any more meat in here. There's not a ton, but he did talk about their preseason schedule, which includes the Cowboys. I learned that this morning. They play the Cowboys. I learned that this morning.

They play the Cowboys. They play the Colts, the Cowboys, and then the Redskins or the Washington. So here, he's asked a pretty good question. It was kind of like, what went into your decision making or something like that on releasing Justin Tucker? It was a complex decision making process. And, you know, I'm a part of it. Eric, Sashi, Ozzy, Steve is a big part of those kind of decisions.

I mean, you're talking about, you know, arguably the best kicker in the history of the game, you know? And like you said, it's multilayered, it's complicated, but you've got to, in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready For your team to play the first game and I think if you step back and you take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications you can understand that you know, we've got to get our football team ready and we've got to have a kicker ready to go and That that was the move that we we decided to make so in that sense it's a football decision, you know, and now we have to spend all of our focus and our time

to get these kickers ready. And we've got a competition going on and get those guys ready to go make kicks. So that's all I'm thinking about. Like from my perspective, it's like, we got to have a kicker out there making kicks, you know, and what's the best way to get that done? When you say it was a football kick today,

was that, is that just the planned rotation or? Yeah, Tyler kicked yesterday. Okay. Bad. Now we got Guy getting it back to football. He just wants to now let's just talk about who is here. Bad job, bad job. Someone's going to save this. They're kicking every other day, so you'll see Tyler kick tomorrow. When you said it was a football related decision, I guess there was a lot of people not clear on it because the guy hasn't kicked in a while. So how can you judge it as a football decision when the last time you kicked was January, I guess?

I mean, that's a good question. I just think it's like you just, like I just said, it's many-layer decision. If it was just a black and white simple thing, then it would be easy to understand. But I think anybody can look at the whole thing in perspective and say, okay, we've got to have a kicker ready to go. And there's a whole lot of moving parts to that deal,

you know, and it's just the reality of it. And you're, you're faced with that. So as an organization, we made a statement about it. I thought it was really accurate. Sasha did a good job with that and, and thought it through and that's where we're at. Any surprise the NFL hasn't announced anything? I don't even think about that. Like, I don't even know. I just try and we're at. Any surprise the NFL hasn't announced anything? I don't even think about that. I don't even know. We're just trying to get the guys ready for practice and have a good practice. So I'd say... Yeah, I love everything about that. Yeah, one of the layers is that this question will not be asked. I won't talk about this at every single little press conference now until the start of the season or until training camp or halfway through training camp when then we decide that Justin Tucker actually has lost it in the leg, not only the fact that he's going through all this off the field stuff that you're at.

So that's basically, and it's basically he's a kicker. He's a kicker. He stopped being incredibly effective and that's what happens with kickers. And he's probably the highest pay, I'm guessing, he must be the highest paid kicker in the league so I'm sure that's one of the layers as well. He's the highest paid kicker being the best kicker in the league. He's not the best kicker in league anymore. Plus he's doing this other stuff then he's below the line that Jake has

deemed the, you know know worth hiding the you know jerking off Justin Tucker line so yeah no it's a weird it's a weird case yeah indeed it's a weird case because I don't know how this is gonna be treated historically I don't really care but he is also maybe the greatest kicker of all time. So obviously a hall of Famer made some of the biggest kicks, just a legend. Are people going to remember this? Cause it is kind of how his career is going to end. I would think. I mean, what do you, what's Joe Biden? What are you going to remember about Joe Biden? That debate.

Yeah, I mean, right now, but, you know, probably in the end you won't, unless this blows up huge and he loses lawsuit after lawsuit or something, you're probably just going to remember that he had a really good percentage. He took the vocal part. Yeah, you're probably so. And it's not rape. Maybe good percentage. Yeah, you're probably so. It's not rape. Maybe Hall of Famer, you know? Maybe.

Well, I mean- Are there no kickers in the Hall of Fame? That may be a good Dan Project one day. There's like one or two. There's like Jan Stenerud or somebody. That's right. Yeah. There's four.

Four? Mm-hmm. Grose though. It's been a minute though. Lou Grose was a tackle though, but he did have a great kicking percentage. I'd like you to look that up at some point. 54. George Blanda. Okay.

And Morton Anderson. And Stenerud? Yeah. Okay. Well, there you go. There's the project. We just did the project. Hell yeah. We should sell that. There's the project. We just did the project. Hell yeah, we should sell that. Um, let's do this. Oh wow.

What? Do you want to break? Almost the exact time when we normally break before we do the... Luke Grose only made 55% of his kicks. I told you, dude. only made 55% of his kicks. I told you dude. He made a... they couldn't believe that back then. They're like, he's making more than 50% of his kicks. Let's do a little hotmail, or excuse me, viewer mail, or we could call it the Thursday viewer mail follow-up extravaganza inclement fossil thing. Brought to us by Ownwell.

So let me look at, I got some new Ownwell copy points because I got a, well it's not really new Ownwell copy points. Every day. They're great as usual. But I got it, yes I got an email and I put it in our copy where just this morning, JR emails, hey, bruvs, I'd like to support you guys and use your advertisers. I was skeptical, but I decided to give Ownwell a shot. No risk, right? Last year I filed my own protest, my 2024 protest. I reduced my home value by $3,000. Because I just heard from Ownwell, they reduced my 2025 value by $32,238.

My bill to Ownwell was $160. They are 100% legit. Thank you, Dumb Zone. Thank you, Ownwell. Ownwell.com slash The Dumb Zone. That is where you can go to save money on your property taxes they do it all for you you just pay them a small percentage if they don't save you any money you don't even pay on that small percentage I saved a ton of money with this Blake saved a ton of money with this Dan applied they said doesn't look like you'd save any money. How much money did you have to pay for that, Dan? Zero. Zero. Zero. One.

Ownworld.com slash The Dumb Zone. Or is it just Dumb Zone? Oh, it's The Dumb Zone. Why did I even, why did I doubt Jake? You shouldn't. I'll never do it again, Jake. I'm sorry. Okay. I have a few sports related viewer

mails this week. One from Jason about war. The hotly contested Frank Thomas versus Jeff Bagwell war debate where Jeff Bagwell in four fewer seasons has I think he's beating Frank Thomas in war they're both Hall of Famers he's got like an 80 Frank Thomas has like a 75 Bagwell has a lot more stolen bases we were thinking it was that Jason wants to point out we're not looking at defense where Frank Thomas played a lot of DH as well and Jeff Bagwell played uh the hot corner what they call it yeah I stand corrected I've looked at that I've looked at that before like if you look at Beltray's wars they're insane they he has when he was young and he was super young his defense was crazy valuable, so say the nerds.

He went on to try to defend the current New York Giants front office and head coach saying, as a Giants fan who threw his remote at the TV when they picked Daniel Jones number six overall, I have this perspective. He was picked by the prior GM, another in the long line of bad decisions by Dave Gettleman, who single-handedly set the franchise back a decade. New GM and coach come in. They don't exercise that fifth-year option, but then he goes on to have his best year by far, and so they gave him that big contract. Rumors would indicate Jones' resigning was something that ownership wanted and pushed through.

And I guess now I'm off of the email, so thank you, Jason. I would tend to believe those rumors kind of like I believe the reason that Andrew Barry, the GM of the Browns, is still employed. And that's why I believe the owner pushed through the Deshaun Watson employed. And that's why I believe the owner pushed through the Deshaun Watson trade. And that's why he keeps the GM like, hey, that wasn't really your deal. That was my deal. I messed that up.

But so I'm not going to fire you. If indeed the Daniel Jones thing was because of the owner, well, then he might keep the GM and coach around a little bit longer. Yeah, and I don't think this means that like, oh, uh, sheen and, well, let's just focus on him or that he's good. It's just that not all of their S show has to do with one person. I think their owner clearly, while he's not as, uh, boisterous and you know, zesty as Jerry is, I mean mean he wanted them to pay

Saquon Barkley which would have been the wrong move and he's in the room being like boy that'll sure make me sad. Your owner shouldn't be doing any of that but so they don't deserve that guy doesn't deserve a pass but Gettleman dude I know you don't remember this, but we spent untold numbers of segments making fun of that guy on bad radio. He's the guy who like, you know, he, I mean, first of all, he was, he's drafted to Acorn. He's in love with the running backs and they one year hired some analytics people and he's like, yeah, we, we brought in like four, four computer, four software people. Like he's, he was a joke.

He was just an old football lug and he was terrible. And the new people would know better. Couple of basketball emails from Tom. He says the Indiana Pacers now have four playoff triple doubles in their history. 52 playoff series. They have four playoff triple doubles. He says in five playoff series, Luka has 10 triple doubles. Just to remind you how sad you should be about Luka. We also

have Chris who says, not a big deal, but I've heard people including Jake. I will defend Jake here and say I think he's means me. Yeah I responded to this guy. Bring up Christian Leitner in conversation about Cooper Flagg. People forget Leitner was a third overall pick not the unanimous first pick. It wasn't really a bust not a Hall of Fame or anything but good player. started 13 years Doesn't seem relevant when talking about flag. I looked back at that draft and yeah, it was like Shaq was number one overall Trying to remember who was two, but he was also a pretty good player The point is I guess it is me having memories of really hyped up white Duke players,

not turning out to be nearly as good as they were in college. One is a very painful memory because it is Danny Ferry, who the Cavs traded, you know, Ron Harper and lots of picks and stuff, just to get Danny Ferry and then gave him, which was at the time, the biggest contract in the NBA ever given a rookie like a 10 year deal and So Danny Ferry would play for the Cavs underwhelmingly for the next 10 years End up being like their all-time games played

guy and I hated him hated him throughout my youth Hate him now couldn't believe it when they hired this guy to be the GM. Like he is the poster child for everything that went wrong with the Cavs when they were trying to take down Jordan and the Bulls. They made this trade mid Jordan Bulls run and totally ruined everything. And so I hate him with a passion and I'm probably now putting some of that over onto Cooper Flag, actually hoping that he becomes Danny Ferry

because I don't want him to do well because I have a new person that I hate even more than Danny Ferry, Nico Harrison. Yeah, it's a very tricky one. It's a very tricky one. It's a very tricky one. Just circling back on that email from a scientist Nick about the randomness of the NBA versus the NHL and being able to infer that from the likelihood that you can come back down 3-1 in hockey. Like that's the pro side of it that you can 10% of the time in hockey is opposed to 3% in the NBA. But you know, you're kind of staring the pro side of it that you can 10% of the time in hockey is opposed to 3% in the NBA

But you know you're kind of staring the flip side of that in the face right now because I can't find a tweet But I saw a tweet last night from somebody who seemed pretty in the know And it was just like a love it win And it was something to the effect of like the stars have been run And it was something to the effect of like the stars have been run like a model franchise from a team building and a culture standpoint, they draft well, they don't do this. They don't do that. They do this. And I didn't, I wasn't able to find like specifics about this, but I guess the oilers are generally pretty cheap. Um,

they had the number one pick four out of five years from being so bad from tanking. A couple of those are McDavid and Nugent Hopkins and just that they're like a poverty, like welfare franchise and that because of the randomness of the bounce, slash hot goalie, slash this or that matchup You're a night away from your season being over in the same spot for the third straight year, which is approaching historic levels You got any I just have one quick one and then a couple gummy thoughts This oh, I got gummy thoughts that I just wanted to give you one more sports one

So I got throw it back to me for the gummies. This is from our good friend E, who has a couple anchored phrases he'd like to add. First, to no avail. Are we ever availing? Yeah. Hey, I called to super hefty avail. They're good. A lot of avail. There hefty avail. They're good, a lot of avail. There's never avail.

And then Bane of my existence. I mean, I guess you can reference Bane just as a character, but when you- No, but Bane the character is named after Bane, the concept, right? Like the feeling, he's named after the idea of like despair. So no, there is, you really don't hear it any other way. Right. Like when I'm out there in flag football,

nobody's like watching us and being like, boy, that one guy is the bane of this office. But but like they could. So those are theirs. Then I'll I'll kick off gummy thoughts, which will be brought to us by Early Bird CBD Gummies. Early Bird CBD Gummies are not your grandpa's CBD gummies. Because they have THC in them. That's why we love them. And that's why maybe you want to stock up. Because you can get them through the mail today.

Never a bad time. When you go to... Hey, but Dan. I already used my promo code of dumb zone. Am I out of luck? I'm glad you asked that because they have a new code, DZ20. That is good for a discount code 20% off on earlybirdcbd.com and especially if you have already used the

code dumb zone now you can use DZ20 and get a new 20% off who knows these guys might throw us a new code in a couple weeks but like I said stock up now. Stock up now there is real THC in them they're not for you if you're looking if you have to take a drug test but you know if you're looking for a good time check them out It is early birth CBD calm and the promo code is DZ 20 Blake my first gummy thought occurred on a gummy while I was watching a one of the playoff games obviously

and It was they were doing that the fouling the hack-a-shack almost I believe this was the next game but my question is now is the math a little better to do the hack-a-shack given the ability of teams to shoot threes now because obviously if the if a team is down by 10, they're going to be shooting and making threes. So would it be more beneficial to do that to keep them from hitting threes?

Should we revisit the hack-a-shack? Usually you're hack-a-shacking a team that's ahead. Yeah, the other way around. But should you flip it? And just, yeah, I mean. Obviously there's some math here you could do. So you're playing Golden State, you're playing whoever and you.

You have an eight point lead. You have a lead and you start hack-a-shacking them, now you're giving them free points. But you're giving them two, one. No, yeah, you've gotta figure out the math. You have to foul an odd shooter, which they'll immediately get those guys off the floor So you're talking about finding the breaking point between? Shooters you can keep on the floor

But then if Steph goes down and hits back-to-back threes that six points in two possessions when you could had four the other way We'd have to get our math Nick on this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but but also it's just gonna be a strategy thing too, though, because as Nick will tell you and as Blake will point out, like when we're talking about college football in particular, when a team is trying to come back, it's way easier to score whenever you're down. Way easier.

So the idea that Steph down 8 can hit 2-3 is the probability or whatever. It's a higher point per possession than it is if it were a one-point game midway through the fourth It just is so You may be right Because those definitely become clutch free throws even at nine points. Yeah, that's an interesting one Yeah, chew on that if you will and then one more. All right, dad

One more so I know a lot of our sayings or idioms come from revolve around animals. We used to be around them more. I don't know, but I think- For example? Horsepower. Yeah, or I don't know, there's a ton of them.

Bird in the hand, bird in the bush, whatever killed two birds, one stone. There you go. Raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock. It just seems like all of our sayings. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry, what? When it's raining really hard,

I just always heard growing up, it's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock. Okay, Clayton. Yeah, 100%, heard that. Okay. Anyway, it just, most of our sayings come around from that, but yeah, Jay'm hundred percent Heard that okay Anyway, it just most of our sayings come around from that but yeah, Jake you kind of took it from me, but now Like how we measure how fast a car is is based on how many horses are pulling one thing? And how like I wouldn't know what one horsepower is let alone. Yeah 300

Yeah, it's very antiquated. Is it time to, should we retire horsepower? No, and I tell you what, the reason I would imagine the reason it's not is because there's a romanticized thing to it for car people. Sure, but- If they wanna have that, I'll let them have it.

It's kinda cool to think about. But if you told me your car had five more horsepower than mine, I don't know what that means. I just know that it's more. I don't know what five horses is worth. Yeah, but it sounds cool though. Haven't you ever heard them, they will actually put like a space rocket

and tell you how many horsepower it is? No. I have heard that, and I've always thought that was funny. Let me see if that's a thing. Yeah, I mean, you see stuff like that at the Perot. But it's a silly inception to me, because as our cars have gotten faster, it's more of a ridiculous thought of,

now imagine 300 horses pulling this. That's how fast it is. Whoa. The Space Shuttle's main engines would be 37 million horsepower. That's how fast it is. Whoa. The space shuttle's main engines would be 37 million horsepower. That's ridiculous. So that's how many horses if you got them up in front of the space shuttle. Yeah. I'd like to know Blake's replacement for horsepower.

Go ahead. I know I wouldn't know what to replace horsepower with. I don't know. I mean. Shibu or Doge or one of your. Six chat GPTs. I don't know. I.

Do you need something? Hey, I'll do a couple. I'll do a gummy thought for you. This one comes to us from Jake in Grapevine. I think we need some sort of thing. Perhaps you would wear it on you at wearable tech. Not sure where we're headed with that, but basically, I don't know right now. I can't remember because I've had these weights a long time. I don't know if the barbell in my garage

is 35 or 45 pounds right now. Because it's all worn off? There was never any indication of what it was, but I just, I feel like it's a 45, but I don't really go to anybody else's weights all that often. When I went to the Hab and I started lifting down there, like two weeks in, the guy was like, that's a 35 pound bar. I go, okay. It's not a little ways off then. Cause I thought like, you know, they're normally 45, but here's my bar, the bar, not a bar belt or a dumbbell. Okay.

Yeah. No, not, not the bar, the actual barbell itself. So because I'm a 45, I're normally 45, but here's my thing. Oh, the bar. The bar. Not a barbell or a dumbbell. OK. No, not the bar, the actual barbell itself. So because I don't know, and it made me think, there needs to be something where it's on your body. When you pick something up or exert force,

it produces a number. OK? And it says, like, that's how hard it was for you. It's quantifying the effort you put forward. And like, if you had to move a box and you're like, Hey, how hard was this? And you need to get a neighbor to come over. You're like, I got a bunch of these boxes to move. How hard was it? You're like, uh, 6.2, it was a 6.2 bucks. It's already calibrated to his body.

He could tell you how hard that it's going to be for him. But if it's 6.2 like horsepower. But if it's 6.2 horsepower or what? What's 6.2 what? There's like a difficulty factor. Like how much did you have to exert? Yeah. And it's to you, you know, so that you can, if you're trying to explain how difficult something is to somebody, my dream is to have this with pain, although, you know, it

seems a little more difficult, but some sort of an exertion thing to where you're like able to describe to someone, this is how hard this is going to be for you. That is my gummy thought. So this would be for somebody like me who tries to lift weights, but very weak. And you make fun of me because you're Jake and you do kettlebells, and you're very strong. And so... I make little ones. So you would laugh at me, because I'm just lifting this little weight.

But if this, my thing would show you that that's an eight-five to me, like actually... You're working harder than he is. I'm working harder than he is, even though he's lifting twice the weight I am. Dude, the pain one is a really good one one because there have been times where you have an injury and they ask you Scale of one to ten. What is your pain level? Like what? It's a me. It's an eight. I don't know or four It's insane and then and I know that like I guess I let me check the smiley face and the frowny face on the one Which one do I look which will help me more? This one's crying, I think I'm more like that face.

Also, Doc, I'm a drug addict, so actually, ten is my pain, like the whole thing is just insane to just ask people when they're trying to get drugs. Give me a number. Yeah, my wife has plenty of ER stories where people were coming in with the flu. My pain level, it's a 20. It's insane.

You can't trust any of that. I truly believe that I will be alive for you to be able to have some sort of a score for that. And you'll hear about NFL players, like some, you know, that'll be the new way to quantify like gritty, right? You know, your white Nebraska linebacker has like a 92 pain score. These out here.

This is what I want. One of the tools that the consumer electronic segment I did a couple months ago, I think it's a saliva test, but it could tell you like how stressed you are. And the problem was it's not really being marketed to like over the counter, it's being marketed to companies

that can test their employees to see how stressed they are. So it's strange, but maybe we're getting there. Yeah. Maybe one day. Yeah. Interesting. Um, let's see, this is not a gummy thought. Uh, I did reference it earlier, but it is viewer mail. Just a lot of people wondering of people wondering I don't know. This feels a little Dystopian a little what falling down? I don't know people were asking how to contribute to the homeless person That's now on Blake's payroll as of yesterday When Blake met somebody on the dart or Tuesday rather?

Yeah, I talked with with somebody and I was confused. Like, are these people wanting to increase the amount this guy gets? Or just help out? Because I offered to take, you know, we can split weeks. I don't know, but I also would feel weird if, I don't know, hey, you got a grand

to spend this week or something. I mean, if people send you the money and they say four fill in the blank, you know, I feel like you have an obligation at this point to continue this, so do with that what you will, but we got a lot of comments about it. Email me, we'll figure it out. And my final email.

I just keep this bit going, I wanna see the crazy shit he buys. Well, we're kind of on pause because he blew his load on Monday. So we're going to have to wait until next Monday to see what he does with his next $25. He paid his encampment for cheese. He had three Democrats and a Lone Star lie and then he was done. Yes, Blake gave a homeless guy a Venmo credit card just in case you're not up with that story.

That may have been last show. Speaking of last shows, at the end of the show, we did mention this, but it is in email. Please be advised, Globe Life Field will allow a maximum quart-sized plastic bag of food, not a gallon, we have been talking about during our Rangers night that we get late in the season. Do we know what day we're doing yet or what day are we doing? Yeah, it's like... Are we promoting it, like go buy tickets, or are we waiting on that?

Uh, I was gonna wait until after the DZGSEQ. Okay, so let's- But we can say the date if you want. Alright. Never forget, September 10th. Okay, nice. So that'll be our Rangers night. And our plan, Jake's big plan, bring a gallon-

You can only bring clear bags in, but you can bring food in clear bags. You can't do a gallon though, according to Brian. He says you can only do a quart, that's on their website, so we're going to bring a quart of spaghetti, a quart of chili. We're just going to encourage people to bring a quart of something in their own bag, and we're going to bring a bunch of stuff too. Maybe one guy will just bring salsa. Little bowls, you know, we'll have them. We'll have them for you. Do you guys want to climax and wrap up

with a pretty gnarly bad beat? I would like to just picture Brian walking up with a gallon of spaghetti and being told he can only carry a quart in. So then he's just gotta either throw it away or just chug it or something, but thank you, Brian. Okay, viewer discretion advised, there'll be a break after this probably,

so if you don't want me to hear this, you could figure it out. So this guy emailed me a couple weeks ago, we were talking about, I think maybe the toilets or porta potties in the military. Um, something about the military, this guy whose name is Blake said, listening to Monday's epi, the army guy who wrote in and reminded me of a bad beat from when I was in the military, be very clear. I never did this,

but was aware it was going on from a fellow team leader. A big part of deployments, he was in Iraq, is guard duty. This is two soldiers, sometimes a supervisor, they spend four to eight hours at a time sitting in a tower or guard shack just watching nothing. As you can imagine this becomes very boring very quickly. You got to find a way to pass the time. So here's the bad beat. One of the games the soldiers came up with was called Dice Beats, which consisted of taking turns, rolling a dice and then pumping your D the number of times the dice landed on. The loser was the one who came first, but in reality they were all losers.

Infantry soldiers are absolutely disgusting and incredibly inventive when it comes to depravity. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds horrible. Like, but imagine the moment you roll the dice. What do you hope? Are you hoping for the six of like, you know what? I think if you give me six a couple times I could be out of here or are you like boy? I don't want really want to do this Are you doing a beetle style like all together? You're all yes Yeah, you're like sitting across from each other Beetle style. Yeah, what happens if you roll doubles? Oh

Gonna go again. Alright. Thanks Blake.

I actually put mine on the copy sheet for you. You could see I went higher on Tyler Sagan, third period points because you can actually do some in game stuff. Do an in-game entry. And it's all based on stats or projections. You pick higher or lower, you pick multiple players. Can't use just the same team. I learned that as well.

So I went Tyler Sagan higher than 0.5 third period points. Connor McDavid higher 1.5 third period shots on goal. I think that hit. The Tyler Sagan did not hit, but I will continue to root for Tyler Sagan and I will continue to go to underdog fantasy. Here's Jay. There's no way Dan. Hold on.

Oh. You know what, boys, he was going for there. I think so. Who? Is it Sinbad? No. Ah, no. Racist. That is racist.

Shoot. Do you wanna tell him? Just play the oh no oh I don't think chat I don't think that Clayton knows he does it uh okay so we do have an update on it's the guy update the guy that first saw a girl run out of the house in Cleveland. How is that an option? Charles Ramsey. That's fine, that's not his voice. Okay.

Yeah, that's not his voice at all. Anyways, back to the news brought to you by Undersigned. Okay, so we had the kayak killed at Lake Grapevine on Sunday. We were talking about it the other day. There was a photo that was put out by none other than track down and Fox for, I guess it was put out by none other than track down in Fox 4. I guess it was put out by the local police but there was a woman who was on a jet ski who had hit this kayak or the witnesses the onlookers said that there

were two people on the jet ski another woman as well and that maybe one of them had talked to police the other one fled and they said that the woman fled with a man They got into a car drove off hit a couple of cars on their way out. Well, there's now video of them Arguing on the shores of Lake grapevine with people who saw what happened and then the video it's about two minutes long. It's chaos she's screaming at people people are trying to keep her there, and it ends with her kind of rushing off. Well, they were arrested Tuesday evening around the time we wrapped up the show, at least the initial woman whose photo was published was arrested, and now the guy that she fled

with has also been arrested. They were found at home at a home in Oak Cliff and they are both in the country illegally. So we have to we fire up the that's meat the machine chum. Oh my gosh this is great. We've been hoping for something like this. This will really help everything. So, you know, I don't know. I guess I don't. You never really know how you're perceived by people because who knows who's listening. But it's one, it's a little bit odd to me that people still will send me stuff like it's like 2016 or something like, what are you going to say about this now, Democrat? I don't even know why I did that voice, it's stupid. But it's like, dude, I don't care.

I don't really care too much. But to the extent that I do, because people will give me, and some of them even comments on our show, like, I wonder if he's gonna mention that these were illegals. Well, I mean, we are, I am gonna mention it because it's part of the story. It's especially part of the story when the governor of Texas decided that he

was going to pop off a tweet about how he wanted this woman to get the death penalty, which of course is not a penalty for manslaughter. So I don't know if he's hoping for the charge to be upgraded or what. But the other thing too, Dan, is I don't know. I'm sure there are studies to the contrary and I actually would like people to send them to me if they exist. But every study I see shows that illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, undocumented, whatever the nomenclature of the day is, they commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. And I've seen them for the state of Texas specifically.

Like there was one I have from 2012 to 2018. In Texas, violent crime, it's a lower number. Now the reporting on it, the sample size, who knows? But if anything, the sample size, who knows? But if anything, the sample size is probably larger and the reported is staying the same because that's like dealing with actual law enforcement. So the number is probably even lower. Guess what? Immigrants in general don't want to be noticed. I was going to say.

They're already committing a crime, you know? It's probably because they're trying to fly under the radar a little bit. Yeah. So I'm not saying, hey, this is great. It's a good look. It's cool. And I swear, dude, I've watched Fox on the weekend before, and they basically just run a ticker of all the people who have been killed by illegals. Not Fox.

It's crazy. Not our Fox. Not our Fox. No, political Fox will just run a thing on the bottom. And while that's happening, I don't know. If there's numbers that say otherwise, I will look at it. But the fact that there's numbers both ways show that I just don't think it's that worth getting fired up about.

They were from Venezuela, which I don't know if you guys feel this way, but Venezuela feels kind of like, I don't know, you guys feel this way, but Venezuela feels kind of like, uh, um, I don't know, Oregon or maybe TCU of the last handful of years, like just becoming a power kind of lately, you know, like we had the blue, we had the blue bloods that you're used to and you'd be like, oh, but I don't know. Maybe 20 years ago, Venezuela, I was like, that sounds kind of cool, you know, kind of years ago Venezuela I was like that sounds kind of cool you know kind of Costa Rica ish or something and now I'm like no way dude uh-uh you guys are now the it sounds too dangerous it definitely definitely well Blake won't

go there for sure it sounds far away you won't go to France definitely not France well my stuff stolen oh that's true's true. Yeah, it's true You're not helping us, you know That's why Disney France failed That's why Disney France it did fail didn't it euro Disney or whatever failed because yeah It was because people got all their cell phones stolen And then nobody can communicate anymore. It was just chaos stolen and then nobody can communicate anymore is just chaos yeah yeah it actually that's actually that led to the French Revolution historically is

frustration so they know you're beheaded Marie Antoinette I think and she said she had said let them have cake and turned out to just be funnel yeah and she was but she was like 60 and the king was 30 35 yeah she they once were observed getting off of the shock wave she just slapped him right in the face over his head how about that story dude you want to talk about one that sent to me a lot and is on brand that's one that I think see it in five things might've even covered it, but, uh, Mack hall, as you know, and Dan alluded to, they're the president of France. I don't know if they, I think they go president,

but, uh, you know, he's married to like his high school, you know, fine art language teacher, Bridget. She's considerably older. And there is a VEEP like image from the other day of his big our language teacher, Bridget, she's considerably older. And there is a Veep-like image from the other day of his big plane door opening, his President plane, and he just gets whacked in the jaw by a female hand. Or maybe not female, depending on which corners of the internet you look at. Isn't that kind of a funny thing that, like, I don't know,

maybe it's not that big of a deal, but like Alex Jones and people like that, that if there's a woman who's like kind of attractive but also kind of, I wouldn't say manly, like I find McCrone, Bridget McCrone and Michelle Obama attractive, you know, but they don't look like Melania Trump. And the second there's like a woman, it's like that looks like them kind of powerful. And I lost you guys for a second.

Everyone's just like, that's that's a dude. That's just a dude. How could you possibly be attracted to this? Yeah, it's a new strata, a new play in the game. Yeah. to this monstrosity. A new play in the game. I like it. We had an attack by coyotes in Frisco Monday. We're getting these seemingly more and more up. These Anna kids are out for the summer,

and they're just running rampant, aren't they? Did you say the Anna kids? Mm-hmm. Is that where this happened? I thought you said an attack by a coyote. Oh, wow, folks. He's cooking with fish grease today. Yeah, OTA is for everyone.

Yeah. No, it was a mom and her daughter, an eight-year-old. Eight-year-old mom? God, the kids these days are. They just grow up so fast. Yeah, I thought team sex was on the down. AI. AI. They just grow up so fast. Yeah, I thought Team Sex was on the down. A.I.

A.I. Wednesday, they removed three coyotes from the neighborhood. But yeah, mom and daughter, the mother was able to chase the coyote away. The neighborhood almost certainly used to be where those coyotes just always lived. And new row houses have popped up. Not to be a guy victim blaming here, but you know. No and I imagine at some point just naturally they'll just die out

right? I mean the humans aren't going anywhere. I don't know that we have like a robust rehoming plan for some spare ass coyote. So don't they just eventually die out whenever Blake is driving into the dumb zone state of the art studio like in the colony from his new house house in North Texas, which is actually in Oklahoma. Like when Blake lives up there. And that's just part of the Metroplex. actually in Oklahoma. Like when Blake lives up there. And that's just part of the Metroplex. A lot of coyotes still be displaced. Why is it bad?

When things go extinct. Fuck yeah, I love it, dude. Yeah, let's go. Uh, I mean, what they would tell you, of course, is that it's the, you've got to have the balance in the ecosystem, right? But things have gone extinct without our help over the Years many years, right? Yeah, how many years there's been two thousand and twenty five years of earth Yeah, however old they were, whenever they, you know,

you had to have humans old enough to birth them or her. You had nothing to do with the dodo bird. And then look, everything seems to be working still. The bees are still doing the pollen thing. What do you mean you had nothing to do with the dodo bird? You, the human, the human didn't, or did they? Maybe the human did. When did it go extinct?

Didn't it go extinct? It went extinct in the 20th century. Oh really? My bad. Did it not? I could be wrong about that. I don't know. The point is, there are other things that have gone extinct.

18. No, 1600s. Okay, 1680. Okay. 1600? Okay. But again, I don't know that you can- That game's so bad, Civil War. I don't know, well hold on, I don't know that you-

Not Civil War, you idiot. know. You're an idiot. Hold on. I don't know that you Not so. Dude that, especially with how upset people were people were Super hoppin mad about the six flags in France at the time like nobody had time for the dodo bird. I don't I Don't know how you could say that any point at which humans existed that we had nothing to do with the extinction of anything Everything has everything to do with anything the question I think really becomes like when you introduced machines and industry, did it alter the, you know, how that, how did it alter the trajectory of species? And I don't know, this is obviously way out of our leagues

what isn't, but it's like are you speeding it up? But I don't know, I mean who knows? Do we need all these species? I think not. You know, I mean there's a lot of offenses that get better when they reduce the playbook and kind of go with what you know. Like for sure we need primates of all types. That's a safe pick. But if we have to have like any... Yeah, who else would do funny like movie clips and ride dogs? Let me tell you, not a... like I don't know, do you need a pig? You don't need a pig. Yeah, yeah we do. For what?

Bacon. Tastes good. What are you gonna wrap everything with? Hey, look, I have this wonderful shrimp. Oh no, no, I think we should wrap that in some pig. No, okay, let's do it. Well, I mean, do you just wanna eat the same stuff every day? Not Dan, this is too, I guess, a general audience.

Don't you want some flavor? There's gonna be some tough choices that have to be made here. And I feel like you're gonna have to expose a few things to the expansion draft, the extinction draft that you're not happy about but it will happen And I'm not talking Specifically about the pig but just in general don't you like seeing a wide array of it a wide array of animals not just the same

Yeah, but dude, but but okay. Well, then let's do this. Let's doge this thing and consolidate. We don't need 90 pigs You know, we have 7,000 lizards Like that many different species of lizards? Don't need it. Yeah, let's get rid of bugs. Let's start with those first. I'm sure they mean something, though. That's the one that you do not.

That's the same guy that'll tell you you don't want to have a monkey. You mentioned killing the insects. There's a guy who pops up. No, I'll roll the dice that we can live without mosquitoes. Miss me with that. They do something. Yeah that's a tough one to make sense of as a child when they tell you that they're like from the devil and I'm like well wait. Makes sense to me. Same with roaches. Do they really tell you

that? Don't need those either. It's something like that. Yeah there's some things that are. Boy don't you love the roaches crowd? They're like well they can detect Can I tell you that? Don't need those either. It's something like that. Yeah, there's some things that are. Boy, don't you love the roaches crowd? They're just like, well, they can detect earthquakes before humans can. Is that true? I've never heard that before. Like they've been around since the age of the dinosaur. Right, have you heard that?

I try to know as little about them as I can, but I do remember that fact. Yeah, they'll panic on an earthquake or something like that before humans can detect it I guess. Mosquitoes are pollinators. Their primary food source is flour nectar not blood. So just like bees or butterflies, mosquitoes transfer pollen from flower to flower as they feed on nectar. Don't care. Fertilizing plants allowing them to form seeds and reproduce. That makes air and then you breathe it. I'm just throwing that in.

Don't eat it. That's some knowledge I got. Plants equals air equals me living. I think that's also why if you put too much of a spicy sauce like Tabasco on your pizza and eat it, if a mosquito stings you, it'll fly away and explode. Did you guys ever see that happen? The same if they're biting your bicep, or whatever on your bicep and you flex, they'll explode.

Yeah, yeah. Males don't bite. Only females do. Believe women. It's only when a female mosquito lays eggs does she seek blood for the protein. They want your protein. Females are always wanting my protein, bro.

Bites on males. They wanna take your protein and then take your babies from you. This is exactly, exactly what I would expect. Don't get rid of mosquitoes. Okay, one more quick one here. This is my complaints with the media and it's not our friends at Box Four, but it is our acquaintances at WFAA. So there's a lady in East Texas,

Henderson, Texas, to be specific. To be specific, she turned 102. So what do we do? We send out the local news crew. Yeah of course we do right? She actually looks great. Maybe the hottest 102 year old I've ever seen. Is her handler blowing out the cake? No this is this is I only watched about 20 seconds of the video but way better than the past weekend at Bernie's type 102 year old birthdays that we've seen this is better but here's the thing so I clicked this article and this is what they know what they're doing the headline 102 year old East Texas woman said a secret to long

life is dr. pepper bag of Cheetos You click on the photo and you're like this wedding. She's Ricky Bobby. Yeah. This 102nd birthday party is brought to you. Like when I turn 100, you can buy me. I will lie. I will say what you want me to say. Like I'll say your product is what got me here.

I will too, except for on Mondays and Thursdays between the hours of 11, 30 and 3 o'clock in which everything that I say is true and I believe. Well for sure. But the issue here is that they put in, you know, hey Cheetos and Dr. Pepper, but literally the next sentence is from her granddaughter saying she lived on a ranch and ate good vegetables and fruit out of the garden and beef they grew themselves. Like I think it's probably that. Yeah, yeah. Everything they have eaten is natural, is pure. Yeah, but it's not that. It's not, hey this person had a lifetime of community, family, vegetables, grass-fed beef.

Right, but the headline is Dr. Pepper and Cheetahs. Texas woman loves Dr. Pepper. That's how a Texan stays alive. A little whiskey and Dr. Pepper. She's like the healthiest person you know. Anyways, there. Okay, I'm looking at this story. Her name is Wilma. Wilma. Love it. Yeah. And then it says she's at Pine Lodge. That's where she's celebrating her birthday. Is that like an old person home, maybe? Yeah, they do it. They said they've done a deal

for her every year since she was 100. And they asked her... She's only 102. That's what I wanted to point out. In the story, it makes a big deal out of that. So they've done this twice. No, no, no, no, no. But continuing with our theme, and by the way, my daughter has started watching Is It Cake, just like Saroy's Alzheimer's Diabot. It's the exact same. So to tie together that- I thought that one was cake. ... thing again, where you become yourself as a baby, you know?

Like when you get old. You know how the difference between being two and three is gigantic because of the logarithmic, like, whoa, that's 33%. I think when you get 100, every year more gets to be celebrated like a decade. Like you're in XP power-up mode. Imagine every cough though that you get.

That's what I'm saying. I mean, there's threats. The tiniest cough. You're like, oh. Yeah. Because I do that now. No, I was, I saw my grandpa choke on a little food last Friday and I thought that was it for him.

But it was just like a normal, like, oh, just went down the wrong pipe. He's coughing by the way. TC and I were Debating the other night and I don't think she'll be able to hear me here We were debating because he was at the Tom Cruise thing with Ben Rogers. We were debating Because he said Tom Cruise just kind of walked out of a bathroom and there was somebody standing there We were debating whether or not that would kill my mom

Well, I give my mom were standing in a theater bathroom and didn't know Tom Cruise was there and he just walked out Like would that kill Rose? Oh my she saw Stallone. Well, Cruz is right in there. He walks out of the bathroom. She's standing there I swear to God Rose faints and at faint age at that age You never know anyways Dan there's today's information by way of the news The Dumb Zone News Like and Subscribe The Dumb Zone presents Today in History I'll start with some viewer mail birthdays

We were male birthdays, as is my want. Let's see here. I'd like to see if I got any during the program. And I will wait till this very moment to check. Doesn't seem right. I think I sent you one. You want the most up to date, right? Positive spin. Howdy...

Why do people make me read these things? Howdy cum dumpster diver. I want to wish my brother Tim M. a super happy 39th birthday. He's a faithful day one subscriber, number 288. His leaders are Nico Urinal Cakes, TC's Lonely Toothbrush, and Blake's Flavor Saver. Always punt from Jason M. Uncle Hottie Thursday is the birthday of Good Dude, loyal subbie and co-champion of the DZ Knockout League, Danny Biscuits.

Nice. Dan in Fort Worth. His leaders are Lewis Hamilton, the quiet leadership of Jamie Ben, and the 1985 cinematic masterpiece that is Fletch Ghost Stars. This is from Tim Timothy. Great dude. One of the best. One of the best. I mean Fletch is a movie that I was stunned by how funny I found it. The way you guys throw out great dude and all that like no one's going to believe it if everybody that we mentioned is a great dude. I might say it once a week.

Try me. Keep going. Dear Dan, Dan, the pussy man. Can I get a birthday shout out for my favorite comedy sports lawn care and leisure podcasts? My leaders are running the ball, never punting and flea flicker based offenses. I'll hang up and listen to that's from Jeff J EFF and the late one here that Blake sent me Gudentag and Hile Slitler probably heard it before but you like it.

of the Twatzy party. DFJ here it is birthday. I don't have any friends cool enough to listen to the dumb zone. That also wields the power of Hotmail, so I send this for myself. I was woken up in that special way. Jake is my leader because he put in the work during his month-long vacation and embraces the daily crotch kicks for it. Thanks and always use a tapered device." That's from Jay. Yeah. We'll do a little today in history now on this day or a little OTD on this day and it'll be brought to us by Fairlease.org. Of course, make sure when you go to Fairlease.org to take a look. In fact, even if you just go to look, just put in the dumb zone. Where'd you hear about us? The dumb zone. And they'll be

like, oh cool. You know, whatever. So today is Thursday, May 29th on this day OTD in 1910 We always talk about entertainment back in 1910 or Yes before like their own an airplane and a train raced They were so bored from Albany, New York to New York City Who won? In 1910, the plane. Ooh.

Give me the train. What year was flight invented? Nobody knows. It's got to be the train. You're going train? Yeah. Clayton? I'm going in.

I was just looking for somebody to guess the right one. It's a plane. What year was flight invented? Again, that information is not available. You're from near there, right? The weird thing is, growing up, I thought Flight was invented by the Wright brothers, and they did it in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

That's all I ever heard. Yeah. And then I'm like 20 somethings. It turns out it was a black eye. Probably. In like, I don't know, I'm in my 20s, and I'm working in Dayton, and they're called the Dayton Flyers,

and then they had another team, the Dayton Bombers, and like all these things, and then I come to find out, this is where the Wright brothers are from, Dayton, and I didn't know that growing up. You would think, we don't have in Ohio, there wasn't like Ohio pride, like Texas pride. And you guys-

You just have your own Bitcoin. You guys will skew everything. Texans will skew everything as if it was invented in Texas. Yeah, right. Like you even celebrate the day that the slaves were emancipated, even though it was because

you were jackasses and did it like a year later like we're not gonna tell okay well two wrongs don't make a right and it was a long way away from where the information was I would think you'd hide from that like I don't want to let's not make a holiday about it anyway on this day in 1922 and what would become one of the most important pieces of legislation in baseball history, the Supreme Court rules that since baseball was primarily a sport and not a business, they were not subject to the same antitrust laws and interstate commerce regulations. I've read a ton on this. I read a ton on it this morning, too. Just a terrible, terrible decision. Like, it really makes no sense at all,

except that you get warm feelings about baseball. So, yeah. This day in 1985, 39 people killed at the European Cup final in Belgium when riding broke out and a wall separating British and Italian soccer fans collapsed. Of course there's always the silver lining. Do you ever think about, not to be gummy-thug guy, but do you ever think about how you grow up thinking soccer, you have like this perception of soccer. I mean we all did

especially if you grew up in Texas where football was an option. Like this is for pussies. It's a weak sport. But then internationally it is without a doubt the most insane, rabid, violent, aggressive, just charged up fan bases in the entire world of sports. Like I almost feel like if you gave the Italians contact American football, they would just, they would kill each other. Or maybe it's that they're pent up because the sport doesn't really,

you know what I mean? There's something going on there. Yeah, it's so boring on the field. You're getting all fired up in the stands. Or piggybacking your stuff gets stolen in Paris. Maybe they're just not good people Maybe a little dose of xenophobia is what we need. Yeah So on this day in 1993 three day whoa three days after a

Ball hit him in the head and bounced over the fence The Rangers are like, what if we put Jose Konseco out there on the mound for an inning? They're getting beat. He gave up three runs on three walks and two hits, and then he blows out his elbow and he needs season-ending surgery. What a wild ride he was. And the Rangers lose 15 to 1. But dude, that was just, to me, that was the Rangers growing up, you know?

Like, they were cartoon characters. Whether it was steroid-related or just the personalities, everything seemed like a bit. And on this day in 2009, Jay Leno hosted the Tonight Show on NBC for the final time. Supposedly for the final time. Conan O'Brien took over. Then Leno returned to like prime time before Conan.

And then took The Tonight Show back in March of 2010. Wow. Conan's run was so short. Yeah. It didn't even make it a year. He never worked again. Other birthdays today include Ebenezer Ekuban is 49. He contributed. I'd like you to look at Ebony. I mean he was here like during the Campo years. You looked at it more recently than I did. You just remember him when you were a kid like oh he's probably good. And he was better than you know a lot of some of the people in this room at least. Did not recall that he I would have talked to you a third second third round pick but

of course he was a one oh he was yeah Paul skeins 23 Wow Blake he said he has the perfect life but he lives in Pittsburgh he can throw a hundred and he has Libby done is that a Is that a Cleveland thing? Because I got to be honest, right after Philadelphia, I have kind of a hard on for Pittsburgh. Yeah, I enjoyed my time there. You're right. Pittsburgh is beautiful, but it's a Cleveland thing. Everything, you're just grown up to,

you're programmed to know Pittsburgh sucks. Everything about it sucks. It stinks. The women are ugly. Everybody's fat. And then you're basically projecting. Of course. It's our sister, it's our exact same city, that's all it is.

But they have funny accents and they say like gum bands for rubber bands, I don't know. They say stupid stuff because they suck. Yeah. You know that third Super Bowl. They just won Whatever. Yeah, they suck Probably steroided up and guess what it turns out they all were Like everyone and everyone of their offensive linemen died by the age of 42

From the oh, yeah Yeah, a lot of times those guys are in or their family is in like the concussion documentaries, but they probably leave the juice part out. Puka Nakua, 24. Austin Reeves. Did you see what he said the other day about his career? What did I say about Puka?

No, not you. He said, and I could be getting ball sacked. Didn't even look. It was a video of him, you know, NBA, excuse me, NFL off-season dudes playing basketball. And he said that he wanted to quit football at 30 and try to play basketball overseas. Which, like, I could see guys doing that.

Like get your money on a second contract if you're an athlete. You don't really wanna try to play wide receiver until you're 35, just go if you can, why not? He also doesn't eat vegetables. Yeah. Didn't know what divisions were in the NFL. Austin Reeves, 27 trade Pia he's

about to get 40 million extra Carmelo Anthony 41 prison basketball player not stabbed not. Nice. I like it. Yeah. Latoya Jackson, 69. She, I believe, was in Playboy. Ted Levine, 68. He was the guy in Silence of the Lambs that kidnapped the girl. Oh yeah.

Annette Benning, 67. Melissa Etheridge 64. Where's Lesbian? Lisa, what's she? Well, to me she was. She was the first person. I just remember the first time learning, like, oh, like for example, AIDS. I learned about that because of Magic Johnson. Melissa Etheridge being popular is how I learned what a lesbian was. Lisa Welchel is 62. She was the, at least what they would call the hot

on Facts of Life. And she's from Fort Worth. We gotta update these birthdays on me. Why? Because I need Blake to know who one of the people are yeah I'm working it I'm working it in how about Melanie Brown 50 no be she a Spice Girl she's a Spice Girl which Spice Girl like have you ever heard of the Spice Girls yeah I was a little too young for them so I don't know I don't know their names

I know who he is. The former host of Tens. Yes, that's right.

John Hinckley Jr. is 70. Musical artist. I think he's got like an extremely hot girlfriend that he tweets about. Shooter? Or is that Senior? No, no, no. Yeah, I don't know why I said junior. It's just part of, like whatever, John Hinckley.

He's the guy that shot Reagan and got out of prison. And he did it to impress Jodie Foster. Correct. Cause she was speaking to him through the big screen. The funniest part about that, again, could be getting ball sacked. We're at a point where we should just stop saying that. I'm gonna live in the reality that I've created for myself.

But I read an interview where she was like, low key, I could not be impressed. Kinda liked it. You know. Danny Elfman is 72. He is the composer. I think of like a million things if you look up Danny Elfman is 72. He is the composer. I think of like a million things if you look up Danny Elfman. He might have done the Simpsons team. Noel Gallagher is 58. One-half, baby. And Shoshana Lahnstein is 50. That is the ex-girlfriend of Jerry

Seinfeld. Oh, wow. Only notable is our birthday of the day because I think she might have been, like, in high school when he started dating her. Yeah, no, I mean, I don't think he met her in a high school, so he's good there, but she was attending a high school at the time of their introduction. Born on the stay-now- dead, John F. Kennedy. Bob Hope. And Sylvester McGee. Sylvester McGee claimed to be the last living American slave and the oldest person who ever lived.

slave and the oldest person who ever lived. I say claimed because he claimed this in 1971, he died and he said he was born in 1841, which would have made him 130 years old. Okay. How do you have as a claim like that make its way to the history list without being vetted a little more, you know? But what if he's right and he says that's the secret to longevity? Being a slave? Yeah.

Would I enter indentured servitude right now because my goal is to live long? Like stop all this exercising and eating correctly. Stop working. Oh no, I'm gonna work though. I'm gonna work a lot. You're gonna be making big rocks into little rocks. Yeah. But I'm not gonna really make any money out of it.
