The preceding and the following content are brought to you by No Puppet Productions and The Dumb Zone. Like I'm just trying to, I can't picture that. Oh, I can. Like, if you were writing this as a fairy smut, but you're not, how would you describe what exactly, who made the first, I first touched her hand. I guess you'll just have to wait for the autobiography.

I kind of imagine it like Captain Planet. But only three people, where they just all touch hands and then come in and then whatever happens after that, rings together. I thought the point of me concluding that spot was so that you'd be ready to play the open. Why did you let him hit it? He set it up.

He slam dunked it. I looked into the camera and said sex. And then you just sat there. I was like, well, what is that? Is he going to get more? We're new. Do you want sat there. I was like, well, what is that? Is he going to get more? We're new. Do you want to start it again? Do the thing again?

Uh-uh. No. Oh. I'm going to listen. I want to listen. Well, good afternoon, everybody. Morning. I'm Dan McTown.

I'm Jake Kim. I'm Blake Jones. We also have Clayton Kimbrough with us on a Monday. Certainly off a big weekend of Reddit slash fast food, coupon deals. I ate Taco Bell for regular dinner on Friday night. What is regular dinner? Means it wasn't 11 p.m.

Or wasn't on the way home when your wife is making a salad and you're like, oh no I'll get Taco Bell on the way. It was a little bit late. It was late. I don't think I would ever eat Taco Bell at 6 p.m. unless This show is brought to you by Taco Bell, but When you're eating dinner at like 830, it feels like you're closer to the this is fine You would have been happy, Clayton. Though I did count the cows. You know I don't like to eat at 830.

Uh, Friday night I had a interesting little situation. I had a date night we can get into later if you want. Or now. Date night? It's our first use of a babysitter that we don't know. Oh, okay. Yeah, you've used a babysitter before

that I know. So we should mention we are not at our downtown Dallas Fox Four Studios. We are not high atop my garage. Nope. We're far away from both of those places. We're in a place called Greenville.

Yeah, yeah. When it was booked, I'm like, that's not, TC lives right over there. The avenue, that's like, that'll take us 15 minutes. No, this is the town. Yeah, this is the town. The city. The whole, the whole ass town. The something is called Greenville.

I've never been out here before. It's high north east, north east. I quite like it. You do? Yeah. It starts to feel a little East Texas-y. Like it's green and wooded and old. I like that.

Abandoned houses everywhere. A lot of it is still a field. This feels like it was an abandoned house at one point but the guys at Scenario. Is this a Scenario based thing? This is a Johnny Outlaw. I don't know this guy's name from one day to the next. He's not cutting those boys in on this. Okay so this is just a Johnny Outlaw remote. Stabbing cabin. But Johnny Outlaw, we know him from Scenario, the whole March

Madness thing. They love data. They do. And we met the guys from Scenario. They came in our downtown Dallas studio a while back. They were there. They arrived. Yeah.

What they did after that, I don't they did after that I don't yeah I don't remember but we did the closing remarks with them and we're gonna do it again today but we met a guy named Aaron who is their top engineer right remember him oh yeah is their top engineer has a photographic memory He lives to code According to his preview and they said he also lives to F and we're like, what does that mean? He's married to a lady but then he also has another lady that they live with The housekeeper babysitter no, no like it's they have a marriage type relationship both husband and wife apparently have a intimate relationship with this third person who

lives with them and one night the two ladies might be having something going on one night it might be love is love like it's a very interesting situation we couldn't believe it when we did that closing remarks. So today we're going to try and set aside plenty of time for closing remarks because. Because I spent all weekend writing down questions. Aaron is here. And he brought his two wives.

Yeah, like, did they cycle up? So we will, OK. That's just one of the things I wrote down. She's laughing, the only other lady. Aaron, all of our leaders. He's the leader of all of us. Yeah, I mean, have they? We all aspire to be Aaron.

Had they told me in high school, like, hey, if you do BCIS and learn to code, you're going to be drowning in pussy, then I would have done that instead of nothing, which is what I did do. You've done pretty well, though. You got a master's. You got a master's. Jesus Christ.

Not worth the paper they printed on. So yeah, OK, you want to just do a weekend check, get right into it? Sure. Can I tell you who would like to present this to you? Yes.

Dan distilled and bottled by Fitch incorporated Austin, Texas 40% alcohol by volume saver responsibly I live near grapevine Lake and

They I think probably got the wife on the gram They have a guided Kayak tour like a sunset tour. It's like an hour and a half. I Think it was like 50 bucks each, but you rent you get a kayak. It's like an hour and a half. I think it was like 50 bucks each, but you rent, you get a kayak, it's see-through. So it's like glass bottomy so you can see into the beautiful depth. Yeah, how far can you see? Grapevine Lake. It's just a reservoir of mud. Like it's cool when you do it in San Marcos at Aquarena Springs or in the Caribbean, but you know.

Yeah, that's funny. We did it. This was Friday night date night? Yeah. OK. So it was like 7 to 830. And in the week leading up to that, there was a family that had moved in a block or so away.

We don't have a lot of families with kids in our neighborhood. But they moved in family was on a walk and Met the daughter the daughter's 13 and she was like hey, you know, I'm if you're interested. I'm I'm a babysitter I just started and we're like, okay cool. This is exactly how we got our Babysitter the person across street. Yeah, I mean you can't be especially dude they just moved in. Like I'm locking in at the floor here and so we were like yeah you know. And then they get a, possibly will develop a nice relationship over the years. Exactly I mean even you know the ones what Dan was

referencing before is Dan's daughters have babysat my kids before and one of them at least, Nora definitely was excited when she was coming back like they got to know each other which feels cool Carter's already obsessed with this girl. He was pissed off Saturday morning. He was saying something. I'm like what the fuck is he? He was asking for her. Yeah, and I was like, oh, yeah idiot. She doesn't live here. She went home last night, but She's 13 and as we were leaving to go to the lake like she seems awesome. You know very Listen, I don't plan on sending my kids to church, but if I want a babysitter I want one of the youth group that was a positive first sign for me But as we're leaving the driveway, I'm like

You know it's a bit curious that I feel better leaving my children with this eighth grader stranger than I would her parents who have children and live down the street. The 13-year-old's parents? Yeah, like you just leave me like, oh, baby, sir. I thought you were gonna say that with your parents, and I know that's not true.

No, no, but what I'm saying is you're like. But I felt that with my mom and my mother-in-law. Oh, that ain't. Like I would rather have a 13-year-old kid across the street than my mom. Yeah, but my mom is like god mom. Right. So that's not a thing.

What I'm saying is if I ran into those people on the street, the mom and dad who were in their 50s, and they're like, you got some young ones? You going out soon? We'll watch them. I'd be like, no no that's pretty weird but when a 13 year old with zero child experience it all says that I'm like pure that's good is that just afraid of that is interesting sexual predators

that has like infected our society that is all overblown well who would you rather have coaching your girl? Like a dad of one of the kids that has never coached before? Or old Brian? Who's been in the league for a decade plus since his kids left? Brian lives down the street. Yeah.

They just call him Pete O'Brien. It's just fun. He loves kids. But then, yeah, we got home and everything was awesome. It's just fun. He loves kids. But then, yeah, we got home and everything was awesome. It was like, hey, whatever. I've raised kids. But if I came up to you and said, hey, I'm available to babysit.

Yeah. I loved raising kids. They were great. I did. I had a great time. And what if I wanted to just use I'm going to use my knowledge now to make a little extra money on the side. I mean, if it were you- Like if I went to Uber, you would have no problem with that. Right. Right. You know how to drive. But I'm a guy. Yeah.

But if we started pitching Dan to come watch your kids- What if it was a 40-year-old lady, or 50-year-old lady, just lady? That'd still be a little weird, right? I'd be more okay with that. Yeah, but now that we're ranking it, if it were just a lady in the neighborhood who was like, hey, my kids are grown. I'm lonely. I'll watch your kids. I'd be like, a little bit weird, but we'll consider. But if the dad would have been involved, then I would have said, no, we're good. Look at Blake right now. When the child comes forward and says, I'll watch your home, we'll play outside, I'll keep him from drowning, there's no fence on the pool.

Yet you're going to trust this 13-year-old, and you know 13-year-olds. I'm backing out of the driveway like, why am I OK with this? But I was. Look at him. Would you want that person? Got that mustache. And he comes knocking. Yeah, cuz that was the other part I told you about is a few days later she came to the door. He can't though. He knows we'll be back. You can't through the

summer event. I know I'm locked in. Because we're going to do some filming this week. And we need you to look the same. You have to look the same. This is how I was with booze. What? Everyone was just like, oh, every time we'd be doing a remote, Dan would be like, come on out. Jake will get fucked up with you and black out.

And I was like, oh, I guess back to the, here we go. Back to the mines I go. Now it's Dan's fault. Well, I think, well, here's what I'm saying. I think he loves the mustache the same way I loved the bottle. But now he can say, oh, I just got to keep doing this, because.

Did you notice his haircut too? I noticed it Friday after he took off his hat. Show the class. Turn your head. Look at that thing. Yeah. And he's losing weight. I was thinking over the weekend. Definitely is giving cop, there's a new movie this year called Warfare.

Yeah, he didn't come to a complete stop back there. Warfare is a movie written by a veteran who is in a failed operation in Iraq. And I watched the trailer, and there's a couple guys who are actually in the operation of the movie. It looks awesome, but as I was watching the trailer and looking at this recon Marine group There's like three decisions that could have gone different where that guy look at him right now is kicking in the door of Like of a village and all the people are screaming women. She shut the fuck up that guy's not that look at it

Yeah, good heart, but like he'll go there if he needs to. I could see it. Big dip in. It's awesome. Now look at me. Now I was thinking of crafting down a muzzy last night, and then I was thinking, I'd have to wear it through the whole event, and then I don't want to take Blake's bed either.

That would be bad. No, I need some help. No, you'd look. Because I'm teetering. You'd look real lame if you did it. No, you've got to come up with something else. Yeah. But no, the canoeing was great. They put us home in time to have an acceptable Taco Bell

dinner. Are you by yourselves? There's a guy driving this boat. There is a guy. Let me tell you about him real quick. That was interesting. It's not a boat. You're all in your own kayaks, but he's leading in his boat. There is a guy, let me tell you about him real quick. That was interesting, it's not a boat, you're all in your own kayaks,

but he's kinda leading in his own. There were five groups, they take you out. So you're in one with your wife? Yeah. Okay. Which we've done many times, and let me tell you, good relationship builder, figure out how you get through fights, get in a kayak, you'll fight.

I'm like, have you ever heard of wind? Like, look, it's coming from this way. Like we need anyways. But yeah, the guy, a little bit of a break from your typical blonde has abs tour guide that you think probably could go work in Aspen or in Costa Rica, depending on the weather. He was just like a marine biology guy from UTA. And he moved here to go to that lab in Arlington for his post-grad, to get his PhD, which

was very interesting. He's from Maine. So of course, I had to talk Belichick and Jordan with him. Oh, yeah. Did you see Belichick was like at a There's like a miss main Jordan was speaking this weekend cuz she's I think the the She finally was the current crown. Okay, and she has to speak at the next year's event So the next year's event is this was this past weekend and Belichick was there and she was up on stage

I wanted to I got trying to find that audio for this week But anyways this guy we were like, you know, so you just moved to Arlington, huh? and he's like, yeah, and we kind of thought that was strange and He didn't understand like well, you know, nobody but anyway, what do you mean? Well to move from Maine? I just never hear of anybody moving to go to UTA, but I forget they have like post grad programs They have PhD programs and you think UTA is for I forget they have like post-grad programs, they have PhD programs. And you think UTA is for somebody local that I went to that.

Couldn't get into better colleges. That's why I went to UTA. OK. And it was just weird to me that this guy moved here for a marine biology lab in Arlington. He could see Wings games. Anytime he wants. Well, I don't know.

I don't know if they're still there. Prices are going up. Are the prices going up? Yeah, dude. Because of Paige? Yeah. Paige buckets? There you go. You see Bob?

Somebody ball-sacked Bob. With what? I actually don't think it's Bob's fault. I think it's deranged because I guess the wings played an exhibition game They'll do that and they played a team I don't even know who the real team was but somebody altered her stat line to instead from 15 points say 45 points Yeah, and Bob posted it. I was like, what is this? This crazy line and people are she's a bullshit this crazy line and people are like, idiot, bullsacked.

It's like, who is like doing that to a photo? Like I'm going to make them think Paige Puget score 45. People are online doing everything. But then what's he thinking just posting it? I don't know. The whole thing was very, the whole thing was. His concern is interesting. But he's on the sports ball.

Yeah. He's got to defend the defend sports. And then yesterday I went to the arboretum for mother's day. The Dallas arboretum. Yeah. Hit up that kid zone. What does that mean? You went just with your wife and kids?

Yeah. Yeah. Not your mother. No, I went over to my mom's and watched the second period of the Stars game for Mother's Day. That was my contribution. But here's the one PSA I want to offer. This is probably not going to go over well at home, but I'm going to do it anyways. We need to get a photo with both kids smiling I Think has a hit rate at our age two and six of about zero Never seen it happen peacefully never seen it happen with that everybody getting pissed off

And I remember when I was a kid it pisses. It's just just don't like do we need to try it? I think we know where this road goes Now everybody's mad. Probably doesn't help that I'm the one that's not. Right, because you see you saw the play. If the last 25 times you've said, hey six-year-old and two-year-old stand next to me and smile, they punched each other, I feel like on time 26 the result likely to be the same. And lo and behold I was correct set off a chain of events there so happy Mother's Day it's just the funniest thing to me

it's like what if we put it yeah anyways well I had to explain to my wife for like literally the 20th time one more thing go ahead was told the vibrator doesn't count as a gift because it came from a listener. It's ridiculous. I know. I said- What if that listener gave you $30, whatever that vibrator cost, and then you bought it? Way more than that.

Yeah. So then what if you bought something? It's insane. Or as I told my wife, like I said, literally the 20th time You're not my mom Am I supposed to give presents to every mom I know Should I give presents to your sister should I get present like what if so I stopped the potentials Yeah, like yeah, I feel like we've all got a duty to to our own mothers And you that's why you go all out for your mom that day.

Yeah, I call her. I call her, and we talk for over a half hour. Oh, the special package, the premium package for Mother's Day. She didn't book the four pointer. Yeah, Mom, I think Shador's looking great too. My mom definitely gives me updates on Shador Sanders. That's awesome. I feel like we need her on throughout the season Just as a correspondent. We're seeing beat reporters break down

rookie minicamp footage of Chador Sanders Dude, I saw this weekend coward yelling about it as they were just rolling Chador footage and he's like look at the video It's all Chador. Where's Dylan Gabriel? It's all sure. I'm like your people edited this video together This is a video of chador. I don't I'll tell you what else is this is on my list today It's uh it's it's rookie mini like there. This should not be you should not allow media in there but This is probably a Jerry thing because the marketing, it helps everything. Right? So we're going to let them in there and then we're going to get on Twitter and

we're going to be like, Shador clearly winning the battle thus far. What are we doing? A little horse race. It is May. Like that was the first day they were ever, they're getting their key card, they're getting the whole, here's the employee handbook right you know here's where you park like and now we're gonna go out and just take a few reps and then so okay then we got Stefanski oh I'll do it now do you what then we got Stefanski wild man answering questions so first he's given his quick update. Should go work under center before they got in here.

Okay, so the first question is about what's the deal with them being under center a lot? So that was the first thing. And Stefanski goes on to detail the history of football to this guy. I love it. thing and Stefanski goes on to detail the history of football to this guy. Love it. Now college they're not under center a lot and really once you get to the pros more than 50% of the time well over you're not under center so there are gonna be sometimes they are under center so we want to just kind of get them feeling that right away. That's the first question this effing little press conference which is ridiculous but it

does make you think. Wait can I ask you what do you think the first question should have been? I don't even think they should have had a press conference. Well that's what I'm saying. I mean they're not gonna ask him about like is it good to have Miles Garrett back. Yeah no well this is what they have to do. It's the rookies. Yeah so okay yeah. There is no Miles Garrett there. But you probably shouldn't be questioning the coach in your first question. Hey, dummy, why are you doing these drills where they're under center? Well, the next one is really questioning the coach as well. So let's hear him with the the end of the history of the NFL. It is weird.

It doesn't seem like Troy Aikman was in the league that long ago, but it really was. Yeah, and Troy Aikman might have taken one shotgun snap per year. Like snap. Yeah, desperation. Because it's fourth and 40 and yeah. So that is weird. It's majority shotgun. In the NFL game, it's majority shotgun.

So it's just getting guys comfortable where you have the ability to do both is really the idea. Can you say what when you went to the team? State the reason that Gabriel took the first snaps. So he said Dylan Gabriel took the first snaps. Also I don't know if I'm a reporter that I'm asking an NFL coach to state the reason like I'm a Fed. He doesn't owe you anything. State the reason for this depth chart.

This is amazing. It's gonna be a mess. State the reason Gitz Gabriel took the first snaps. Yeah, I wouldn't look into really anything. I know, but how do you choose that? Is it draft status or what? Yeah, I wouldn't. He says, how do you choose that?

Is it draft status? I'm not sure I've ever heard a reporter sound this unbothered by, like, convention. This is awesome. I wouldn't look into really anything. I know, but how do you choose that? Is it draft status or what? Yeah, I wouldn't look into anything. I think you'll see the whole weekend going through the spring. I mean, we don't pay too close attention to who's in there first.

We'll change tomorrow. Will you be here? Yeah. I'll see you here. So Kevin, when you get to court... Who is that guy? I mean we don't pay too close attention to who's in there first Who is that guy I don't know maybe it's Tony Grossi I know Tony Grossi is the longtime Browns guy who kind of feels like Like he was there during this when they are good, right? No, no, no, that's Doug Deacon He was a beat writer back when they left Cleveland. And he's still there. So I think he feels more entitled to get the answers and get them right now. And why are you dodging it?

Yeah, that'll happen every now and then. That was just really, really forward. I mean, it might be as simple as his name is earlier in the alphabet. When you're getting into camp. Yeah, but he's got a point. Sure had his number retired. You'd think that would buy you precedent.

That is true. By the way, I'm rocking my new college team today. Yeah, it looks good. Thank you. I'm locking in. This is a big year for us. I can do the thing now. It's not races.

You guys just don't understand. Reduce? Yeah. I'm honoring the thing now. It's not racist. You guys just don't understand. Reduce? Yeah. I'm honoring the natives. Well, let's continue Weekend Check.

Did it so well you re-introduced each other after COVID. It happened pretty quickly after that. So nine years into marriage, 10 years into marriage. Approximately. Yes. OK, but you got three kids. They're not, how old are they? Or how old are they at the time you guys hooked up?

Well, they're 8, 10, and 12 now. So that was three and a half years ago. Our youngest was five. So we were very, very open with them about things and hey, how would you, what would you think if Faith moved in with us? What would you think if we... You're asking an eight year old or a five year old this? Well, we, again, we're very open with our kids about, you know, about things and how do you like Faith is, and that, oh, we love Faith, that would be awesome.

Wait, she gets to move in with us, that'd be great. We built a new home and just happened to have enough space to accommodate. Okay, well that's mildly interesting, but how did the initial, the initial, the first time there was ever some kind of a amorous get together? I mean, has he already moved in? No.

Okay. I didn't know if it like that came after like cohabitation. That's a good distinction. Yeah. Okay. So COVID had split up the friend group. She's the first one to kind of venture back a little bit. That's right.

You guys are at home. You're drinking some what you you don't drink. No, I don't. They do. Not really. No. Oh, maybe. They do. Not really, no. Oh. Maybe one drink a week or something like that. This is all natural pheromones.

This is incredible. Yeah. This makes it even more incredible. We're just best friends. Because I understand if you're kind of all of a thing or X'd out of your mind or something. Yeah, you're doing something fun all of a sudden. Your brother's over there. Yeah, yeah.

It's a White Lotus thing. Yeah. She hadn't seen a lot of the popular TV shows like Breaking Bad a Game of Thrones and stuff like that So we were going through I think we were going through Game of Thrones at the time cool And she just come over and watch with you guys a couple times a week. Okay, so I like to cook So I would cook and oh that's got a big player here Okay, so but how did the initial like, how do you have a first kiss? How does all that happen?

It I mean, it just did. I say again, like none of us were asking or looking for any of this to happen. We're just, you know, it just just happened. With with who and who who were the first two to was it you and her? Was it your wife and her? Was it, and Faith? Was it?

It was all of us. It was just, Like I'm just trying to, I can't, I can't picture that. Oh, I can. Like if you were writing this as a, In fact, I am right now. Fairy smut, but you're not,

how would you describe what exactly, who made the first, I first touched her hand, she touched my hand. I guess you'll just have to wait for the autobiography. I kind of imagine it like Captain Planet, but only three people where they're just, they all touch hands and then come in and then whatever happens after that,

rings together. Did the first time there was ever even a tiniest kiss or anything, did everything go all the way that night? I think so. Okay. Yeah, we're adults here. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's no need to... And then how long until she moved in? Well, we were about six months away from the house being done, being built at the time, so it's about six months after that. How about though okay so that night though still. So things are all of a sudden we're in the middle of a an adult film right all of a sudden like now okay now shirts are off things

are happening things things are going down right now this this has escalated beyond this first little kiss thing. Now it's all over. What are you thinking then? Because that's, you know, then you're like, assessing the date. You're looking around. That PNC hits you.

She's trying to find her bra. You're trying to whatever. You're getting up. I mean, as far as we were concerned, I mean, really nothing had changed. It just become more. You know, it wasn't it was very early on that we all sat down and talked and said, hey, do we like this? Is this something that we want to to continue and to to plan for and to be a thing? And the answer very soon after that was yes. So I, you know, we would each start taking Faith out

on our own private dates once a week. And she lived, you know, a ways away. So we go pick her up and take her out on our private dates. We'd go out on the weekends together. She'd continue to come over and hang out. What is your Trail off. Sleeping situation at home,

not like what she now has moved in with you. How many bedrooms are there? So our home is seven bedrooms. So Audrey and I sleep in the master and Faith sleeps in her own room, but it's only because it's hot sleeping three people in a bed, you know? Sure.

So it's warm, but we trade around all the time. So possibly the two ladies might sleep in the master on Tuesday night. Comment on the weekends that they'll fall asleep watching movies together. I'll be coding. Of course you are. How about like household responsibilities? Like so just treat it like a norm. My wife and I are real like 50-50 I do a lot of stuff probably when Audrey and I first got together

we both worked full-time retail jobs and Very early on I did all the cooking she did all the cleaning and it just worked That's what held true to this day even through staying home with the kids and going to a single income. It's just worked. I continue to handle all the cookies. She continues to handle the cleaning and they split responsibilities 50-50 between the two of them. I mean the truth is they should be splitting at 33-33-33. I know what you mean. I

Just want everything to be fair are others that you guys are so like people at the PTA or whatever Mm-hmm, like are they aware of your like you? Absolutely the we have had nothing but overwhelming support from everyone and it's we're very blessed We've just had nothing but overwhelming support We just try to like I said last time we try to leave every situation a little bit better than we found it We're very blessed. We've just had nothing but overwhelming support. We just try to, like I said last time, we try to leave every situation a little bit better than we found it. Your kids homeschool?

No, they're not. They were during COVID. Just because of this scenario. But no, they're public schools. Nice plug. But like teachers or I think what Dan is getting at is do you have to ever explain? I guess it depends on how involved she is in like the kids. Very involved. Okay cuz that's all I just feel like if I'm showing up to meet the teacher night

with two wives I'm at least gonna have to answer a question. No? It I mean no everyone is just very understanding and accepting. Would you be considered common law married? I don't think so, no. I don't think it's legal. What if you guys wanted to kick her out and then all of a sudden it's like, boy, I've been financially dependent on this situation. We've had these sorts of hard conversations before.

I'm thankfully in a very fortunate place where if that were to happen, I would continue to take care of. Sure. I know you say that. We obviously don't plan for that. But no, the law is not kind to us in this regard, but that's okay. What if Faith, who is number two for the audience, I know she's not a number. Chronologically, temporally. Yes.

Yes. We understand. What if she all of a sudden hooked up with some other guy and is like, man, I think I just want to go to this solo thing? We'd be very supportive. But obviously, that wouldn't happen. Would you invite him into the room? I was going to say, I mean, I feel like they're only.

No, again, we didn't look for three. We're not looking for four. Well, but things could just happen. Like, what if today all of a sudden you're sitting there with Blake and you're looking at that mustache and you're like, jeez. That's good. It's a good mustache.

Yeah. Thank you. Do you sync up? They're not going to answer that. Do periods sync up? Does that really happen? It's very, very close. Yes.

Short answer is, for the most part, yes. All the money spent on NASA and the world. And no one can explain that to me. They try, they can't do it. Other than the fact that it's not real. But yeah, I don't know. Is your wiener incredibly big? I mean, it's all right.

He said the same thing about his coding ability, and we know he's a genius at that. Right all right. He said the same thing about his coding ability, and we know he's a genius at that. Right, right. Yeah, that's true, too. We also know that's the only two things he does on Friday night. That's right. Man, I don't know. I'd watch a reality show.

I mean, I know that there's shows out there, you know, whatever. Yeah, have you run into anyone at now? But they're real people. You're in this lifestyle. Do you know anyone else in this? No. Do you have to go to a convention? No.

Would you be interested in talking to somebody else about their? I think it would be interesting. Again, it's not something we sought out. It's not a lifestyle that we particularly aspired to. That may be the most unique part of it, Is that most people who get into these situations, like it was something that was like really a thought in their mind for a long time.

There's an entire subset of the population who's looking for something like this. And we call Faith our unicorn because in that scenario, these couples are trying to find a pretty young girl to woo, you know? And that just simply wasn't the case. So this is kind of great. You always have a babysitter. You don't have to pay.

We, I mean, I was able to take Audrey out to a wonderful weekend at the stockyards and have a great time, because Faith was able to watch the kiddos and I likewise you know I got to take Faith to Columbia to go and meet Sebastian and his wife Alejandra and and it you know it just it just works. How are I suppose this could be a bear trap because they might be unalived but your your respective parents respond to all this? Again, my parents are just very supportive, very accepting of Faith. Her parents? Both ladies' parents? Like is Christmas

real crud? Unfortunately Audrey's mother isn't with us anymore. Our father is supportive. Okay. Hell yeah. It's a, I mean it's a lot, right? I can only imagine how Faith's parents would have, you have, what a shock it would have been. But we've been to their house and had dinner with them and they've met our kiddos. So, yeah. Man, it's a big world out there. It really is, man.

I don't know, hats off to all three of you. Thank you. You're raising a family that loves each other. Like I know right now I couldn't do this. There's no way. You have to be a very centered person. I would love to say it's a lot of work, and it's a lot of effort.

It just works. I think if you're the type of person dealing with the type of people, you can make it work. I just don't think I'm cut out for that. When you're married to someone. I think I'd be jealous or pissed off. When you're married to someone like Audrey, life is just easy. This is how he does it. Yeah. He says nice stuff about his wife.

I mean, I owe everything. I owe everything to her. It's no secret. Everybody knows this. So, well I think it's beautiful and I hope you guys stay together and don't end up like on date line. Well it's been three and a half years and we're as strong as ever. So, and 15 for Audrey and I. Congrats Audrey. Oh yeah love baby. I love it. Do you get faith like a Mother's Day gift too? No not traditionally we like to spoil Audrey so we we hooked her up with. Hey now So we hooked her up with a fantastic Mother's Day. And that's how we like it.

I mean, we all went home that night, and we will deny it again too, and mention to our wives, just to kind of gauge their, hmm, that's interesting, or oh, whoa. And I got more of the oh, whoa. Yeah, and I got more the oh, whoa Yeah Unfortunately, well if if I had gone home the night before things happened and talked to Audrey We both would have been like that's crazy. No way. Yeah, so I get I But that but faith is just that good. He's fantastic. Yeah see

All right. well, thanks. Thanks for joining us, girls. Ladies, I really thought you were going to hop on the mic. Very disappointed that you're not. Very disappointed. We still love you, though. Yeah. We do.

All right. Where were we? We're in the middle of a weekend check. Want me to go? Sure. You always got a big weekend, Blake? Yeah. Oh.

That's not a tease. Nope. Why don't you go first? OK. I was taking Brooks to get his weekly slurpee after his gymnastics class. How's gymnastics going? Good, I think.

I'm thinking about that being our first move. For Carter? Yeah. Yeah. Foundational type stuff. Like, I want to get him in a camp where they teach him to run, when he's like three. They'll teach him to be gay if he's in a.

No, I mean, what I like is I was already able to make fun of Blake and call his kid gay. And now I can do it. Yeah. I think gymnastics, like, is a foundational athletic thing. It's tough to beat. So when we had. I'd get him in football now I can do it. I think gymnastics is a foundational athletic thing. It's tough to beat. I'd get him in football and that's it. Yeah, tackle football immediately.

When we had Bobby and Brandon Stroop on, they said kids need fundamentals, how to run appropriately. But they said the best thing to do at this age is gymnastics, so that's why he's in it. Anyway, going to get a Slurpee and a guy walks in with a shirt that says, make America straight again. Yes, bite for your grandpa.

Okay. Kind of an older guy, but then I was like, all right, dude, whatever. It works great though, it rhymes, it's awesome. I get it. Yeah. Whatever it works great though. It rhymes. It's awesome. I get it. Yeah, however, what I had a problem with was this guy I was expecting him to go get Some yellow bellies some cigarettes. Yeah, he bought a watermelon ice vape Man a gay vape dude

Make America straight the vape has broken the manliest of us. Like the number of, again, the dudes I saw at treatment who were just face tatted up, teardrops, wife beater on and they just have like a pink cloud light up vape. It happens, man. So I've always had this scenario play out of my head of whenever I do a segment, everyone skips ahead. And it's nice getting the vis-relation of that because everyone in the room just left. So, I'll speed through this. To be fair, it was the, uh, the throuple.

Yeah. And you know he walks them out. And even the guy who said- Oh my god, opens their door. 100%. He'll be back. Let me open the door for you. Yeah. But even the guy that set up the remote left. Yeah. So. We'll just keep going. Anyway, um, we had, Clayton's

gone too. So we, uh, I had three days by myself where wife and kid were in Austin at a Tuesday wedding that I didn't ask questions about. Could have been her own. You still don't know who she, who got married? I saw some pictures. Because she showed them to you. Yeah. Of course. Hey, can I see some pictures from the wedding? So on one of those days I did get my ears lowered.

And I was thinking while getting it that Jake said you would get one every day if you could. But doesn't that take away the feeling of getting one if you got it every day? I don't know. And what are they even cutting? Because I've never tried. OK. I don't know that I would do it, maybe it would be every four

days, but. Is it the beech theory? There's no bet. Does that, does, yeah. Oh, pizza again? Oh, I hate it now. No, I think if you did it every couple days, you'd be fine. And I told you guys, there's a lady at, uh, who cuts my hair,

who's not my main lady, she has like a shop vac, that she runs over my head after she does it, and it's magical. And if I could get the shave and the shop vac every day, I think I would. Okay. I think I would. So sitting, I was sitting there in the chair and I was thinking, boy, how else could I get pampered today? So I thought, let me go get a massage. Blake getting a massage?

And I think I've said this on the show before, but I have a love-hate relationship with it because I love it. I love the feeling of whatever, lay there for 45 minutes, relax. But the whole time, I'm just thinking, boy, I feel really bad that this person has to do this to me for 45 minutes. You guys have got to let that go. It's the same thing with him and the pedicure. Yeah. I am creating jobs by letting these mostly minorities serve me.

And that's... But I am paying them... Like would you get a shoe shine at the airport? And again, this is where my argument falls apart because hell no. Yeah. But also like I've only seen old black guys doing it. And again, this is where my argument falls apart, because hell no. But also, I've only seen old black guys doing it. I was going to say, it depends on the minority that's. Yeah.

See, I walked in. What if it was old black guy at the pedicure place? Yeah, I think I might be out. But she was Asian woman very broken English I could tell You didn't want to grow up and do this Do you think she walks out of there and it's like at least I don't have to talk with that accent anymore it's just Like the

Hibachi guy that's funny. So at the end I Thought this I don't think I would ever do the happy ending, but I would like to be asked. I don't know that they ask. Yeah, they don't ask. They don't do it? I think. Well, it starts with, I think you have to be

at the right place. Like the place that I get my massage is, they're not doing that. Unless you're Justin Tucker, who apparently was doing that. But there are places everywhere. It sounds like more the type you were going to, where there's code.

There might even be a website, like jerk maps or something. I think it was rub maps. Rub maps. Something like that. And it would be instructions on what to say or what to do with a towel. But no, I don't think they're just like, wanna come? That's not how it works.

I'm sure there's a negotiation. $100, I don't know what it costs. Anyway, I would like to be asked. I don't think I'd ever do it. Back in the day I had a buddy. I really don't want to say who it is, but he's a very big friend and he has a son now who's in the game. Could be anyone.

But he would tell me that he would do that. Oh yeah. He would like, you just have to bring, or he would ball up a 20 in his hand because you have to go in naked. You can't, there's nowhere to. Yeah. And after this segment. That's it?

20 bucks? Well, this was 20 years, 30 years ago. Yeah, different economy. Yeah. It was like all these tariffs. Right. Who knows? But after this post, we'll get a few emails from people that are like, here's where I

go. And here's what you do. Here's what you do. Like at nopuppetproductions.com. Yeah. Boy, the internet really did help people. Like you said, you can go search and they'll tell you the protocol for a certain place, right? Yeah, and I mean I think the biggest thing is like when you're traveling I think That's a big deal with the the travel man

Yeah, so if you can just lock in Chicago. There's a reason to travel Blake You sold me. Yeah. A quick happy ending. That was your weekend, so mine, pretty boring. Continued working on the garage, not really cleaned out yet. Chilly weekend, I thought, for Jake was telling me this morning it's gonna be a hundred degrees on Wednesday yeah you know the day we're filming outside all

day I didn't know that yeah bro you're already gonna hit over a hundred a hundred now when you say chili are we talking temps or like the meat based product no temperatures okay yeah I did not make any meat-based products. Although, my veggie chili, it's asked for by roast twins everywhere. They're going to be coming home soon. And they told me already they want to have veggie chili that week.

So I said, all right. When will they be here? I believe the 20 seconds they're flying. Let's be out all week. Let's be at Fox that week, what do you say? Yeah. But I did find out, so okay, I watched the whitest thing I've ever watched. Don't think there were any dog shows this weekend. Not CNN's Top five things. No. My wife's cousin has a son. And we had to go find it. And I had to show her how to get the ESPN app on.

And then I had to listen to her just bitch about the ESPN Plus app. But she's got opinions on how to fix it. They should. First time using it. So Colgate, he plays lacrosse for Colgate and they're apparently in the something tournament that leads to the right now guys the big thing whatever they call that they were playing

Penn State they lost 13 to 11 so I don't have to sit and watch lacrosse anymore Can I can I ask what the big problem here is? Well, I think their defense was just. No, coach. It's lacrosse. It's not like it's, I don't know, any number of. I think lacrosse, it's just like with hockey. It's just based on when you were introduced to it

and what part of the country you lived in. Lacrosse, it's just like with hockey. It's just based on when you were introduced to it and what part of the country you lived in. Lacrosse is rough. No, they say like Jim Brown was the greatest lacrosse player ever. I'm just saying, randomly, if you switched out football and lacrosse, it's basketball. It's as white as you could ever see anything. It definitely is white.

And it's probably like the rowing team or something. Same thing, right? Colgate. It's just, anyway, we watched the whitest sport I've ever seen. I started to watch, so remember my wife was gonna be gone Friday night and it was great? Going to be? No, she left. Okay. She did. I got home Friday, she was getting ready, and then she left. She had some gala that I couldn't go to because it was $200 a plate I was like honey. You know what I'll take this one for the team. I'll stay home

And so now I'm there with all everything in front of me, and it was great to do nothing But every time I turn on HBO for the last month it's staring at me The Celtics documentary. Number one, basketball now makes me sad. Maybe that'll stop someday, but even like Immaculate Grid every morning I'll do baseball, football, and it's like, and I click on basketball and then I see them, it's the Mavs and it's the Lakers matched up. And I can't. No, I can't.

I can't put his. I'll write AC Green. Like, I can't. I just can't. Like, things that remind me about Luca just make me sad, and just basketball in general. So now here is the Celtics documentary. And I don't know if I can finish this thing,

because the first five minutes are highlights from last year's win, as they're hoisting that trophy. And Patrick Dumont is so sad, because they have confetti coming down. He doesn't want to feel that way. And I don't like when Patrick Dumont feels bad. Right. So it's hard for me to watch that. But then they'll intersperse it with, you know, Larry Bird holding a trophy and then Bill Russell holding a trophy. Now it takes like five or six minutes to actually start

now. We're going to start at the start. Fascinating stuff. It's really, really, really good. And probably anything would be if you have some footage from way back then. But just the story of how the Celtics even started, how Red Arbok was brought in, how they, you know, it's really, really good stuff. You know, very, it was like right after Jackie Robinson and but Bob Cousy was like rooming with a black guy but he didn't know that it was a big deal or at least he claims but the media made such a big like they couldn't believe it. You're rooming with a black guy? What if you catch black or something? You

know? Like it's just such a thing. Yeah, I never really thought about that. I mean I make jokes about them. Like, oh, about black people? Like, it's just such a thing. Yeah, I never really thought about that. I mean, I make jokes about them, like, oh, the... About black people? No, about the Celtics titles from that era, just because, you know, there were like 10 teams. It's kind of like being the Beatles. It was certainly easier to be... But they also, from a cultural standpoint,

made tremendous, tremendous progress in Mark. I probably shouldn't watch it. And especially being in Boston, which is odd. Exactly, yeah. Because Boston, considerably thought of as a racist town overall and their sports teams were like the last, generally the last to integrate. I know the Red Sox were.

But, so now I'm like 10, 15 minutes into the real good meat part. And now I got to get some Jason Tatum or just something like That I think the fact that this is produced by Bill Simmons is what is There's too much of the current Celtics Even being woven in if you start at the start and get to the end and I don't have to watch episode 7 That's gonna be great

I think the problem is going to be that it's it's it's going back and forth and I don't know that I can finish this this Documentary it seems like it's probably fascinating. It's probably great. I'm sure the story of Larry Bird is awesome But I don't need to see it mixed in with today's Celtics. I can't take it. It's too sad Yeah, they broke the whole sport. You see Tom Leppert's, the former Dallas mayor, op-ed this weekend? I absolutely did. In fact, I got his phone number.

Oh, nice. In case we wanted to try and book him. But then I was also reading about him. And I don't know if you'd mix with him. No, no, he's not a me. Why is it all me? Well, I don't know, it just, just doesn't... he just seems like he's... A conservative? Well, pretty hardcore. Yeah. So, but that's not really why we'd want to talk to him, so. We had Jen or Ryan on. We'll see. Twice. No, I have a hard time

watching the playoffs. You know, it's hard for me to watch what's going on with Minnesota and Denver because I feel like, or excuse me, Minnesota, Denver and Oklahoma City, I just feel like Oklahoma City is vulnerable, Denver's worn out, I don't think Minnesota's ready yet. This was the year, like this was Dallas' year,

I think, where they should have been clear as day headed to the conference finals at least. And I like my chances there. And then I look over at the East and it's like Cleveland's obviously no super team. Boston's having issues. So it just- I think Nico had said like Cleveland's his model. Like the day they traded him. Well, I mean that is kind of what Cleveland's doing

Yeah, we're playing massive lineups, but it really feels like this could have been the year And maybe I'm just telling myself that but the roster was nice You see these other teams beating up on each other having the Clippers and Nuggets play each other was huge And it doesn't matter because it's over. The stars! We'll get to the stars in a second. And then I wanted to just give a thumbs up to procrastinating, because everybody bashes procrastinating.

Right? Typically. You're putting stuff off and you criticize yourself for procrastinating. Or if somebody you want to get something done for you and they just for procrastinating. Or if you somebody you want to get something done for you and they just keep procrastinating like get that done so that I don't have to think about it anymore. Well I had this project I've been trying to get done for a while it's not even that hard but it I'll tell you it's like it's watching all the earnest trailers and writing up reviews

for all of them right because like Because, like, I kind of lost a bet and it's a fitness pack thing and all that. So, but when you have something looming, you tend to, well, I can't just sit here and watch TV. And I think a lot of people are like this. So, I'll go do this. I got about 16 things done that were have been on my list and I keep moving them, pushing those back. I took care of so many things yesterday. You won't believe the amount of things I got taken care of. We got the charity thing settled, Blake. We got the Brandon Aubrey show paid off and all that. All these things that have just been looming we haven't done. And I'm still going to end up watching the earnest trailers. I haven't done it yet.

Well, your boss. The point is that I got so many things done. And it was because of procrastination. Because had I done my original task first, I would have felt so satisfied I would have sat down and watched TV for the rest of procrastination. Because had I done my original task first, I would have felt so satisfied, I would have sat down and watched TV for the rest of the day. OK, interesting psychological work arounds. That was the main.

You always have this looming thing. If I could just get that done, I will feel accomplished for the day. But having it hang out there, and it made me feel too guilty to just sit and do nothing, so I kept doing a bunch of little things. I got so many things done, so I just want to promote procrastination. Hi, this is the dumb zone for procrastination.

Do it right now. Quick notes. Now. OK. I saw Shrek for the first time. And that's funny. He said wait, do it later. Sorry. You saw Shrek for the first time and that's funny he said wait do it later yeah sorry you saw Shrek yeah for the first time yeah I'm saying it's really good yeah the animation is terrible no I don't understand what happened where like Pixar like when Pixar made Toy Story, that was like 97, 96.

The animation Shrek looks like Laura Croft Tomb Raider PlayStation level to me. It's shitty. Well was Shrek more of a 90? 2000. Oh, it was after. One or two or three. Wow.

It was out of the time when I was a kid. Very good. I do think movies back then, and I don't know, I don't really have a comment on this, they used to kick each other's asses a lot more. Like Shrek's punching people and tossing people. You just don't see that in kids' movies as much anymore. That's a good point. Like where it's just a human on human, like I will tackle you, punch you, throw you. I don't feel like Shrek was definitely definitely a kids movie though. It's it's that it's PG But there's no like real cursing there's just some menu window for the parents type thing

But it's a good movie. Yeah, we enjoy because I just think I went to see Shrek And didn't have a kid and then my other thought it's not even a thought I'm just you guys know I'm big in the ice cream game these days. Yeah, I find I found an ice cream It's not just a like a lower calorie like the Halo top. It's the ice cream game these days? Yeah. I found an ice cream, it's not just a lower calorie like the Halo Top, it's protein ice cream. They have it at select stores. It's 40 grams of protein in a pint. That's a lot. It's a protein shake plus. But if I split that with the kids, we're doing alright. Now, does it taste good? No. Tastes like shit. But? But it is in the form of ice cream and it will give you 40 grams of protein.

How is it on your app? Horrible. Don't use the app. We need to get Brunig on to talk about this. Because he's the guy I want to trust. The app, I want to know what Brunig thinks. I use this app called Yuka for food items. And it'll tell you that your protein bar is terrible

because it's full of additives. So there's basically no fake sugar that it's going to say is good. But I think Brunig's on the track of, it's better than real sugar. Is it? I don't know. I think that's the crux of it.

OK. Because I feel like there. I think that's the crux of it. OK. Yeah. Because I feel like there is some faction that will be like, yeah, live like your great grandma. Right. And no, real sugar is the way to go. Real butter, real, everything real. Real jugs.

How far do you want to take live like your grandmother? Do you have any opinions on various ethnic groups that you? I think he's just saying diet. Oh, OK. I don't know what to think. Yeah. Straight from that fountain. States rights type grandma thing.

So what do you want to do here? Oh, OK. Grow up against it. We're fine. Sorry. We're fine. Sorry. Sports Today brought to us by Qualis Roofing. Oh yes. Boy.

They put the roof on the den. They're fantastic. This house? Oh really? Can't you tell? I'm dry. It did seem exceptionally dry in here. Dry as a whatever the opposite of a whistle is. Wow, Qualys Roofing. Incredible. Has come out here to Greenville.

They're all over DFW. They're in Austin as well, but it's QualysGC.com and they've got a great bit for you, the dumb zone listener, if you just call them and get a free roof inspection just an inspection They'll give you a dumb zone t-shirt. How about that? What if I get a roof if you actually have to get a roof like we did? They will pay for a sit-in on your behalf. You can sit in the studio and Marvel At what we do this guy came all the way from Columbia on a daily. Yes, and quality is one to give you that experience Yeah, so it's what's the number eight one seven five hundred nine zero zero eight or qualis gc?

Dot-com hit him up get that inspection done get you some free stuff They'll take care of it through the insurance kind of like they dealt with them. They handled everything. They had oh yeah you got a roof from Qualis. Yeah a lot of steps that. I don't think Jake likes Qualis he's the one that didn't get a roof yet. What's your deal? Why do you hate Qualis dude? QualisGC.com. Stars win. What a day. That place was rocking I really want to go tomorrow night is Miko good We've talked about this in game seven, I guess of the last series but that the goal that he scored to go up for two That is one of those like the second he obtained possession of the puck. It's the same move.

It's just that little glide float from right wing to left wing, and now he's the keeper's in traffic. And it looks too easy. It looks like he's playing a video game with a glitch on those goals. In general, I think trade deadline deals are overrated. They don't really generally work, right? Haven't we done studies on that and yeah, I don't know. I wonder if it depends on this like baseball. It seems like That one seems like it helps right like relievers or but then again all the ones the Rangers tried failed

yeah, the hockey it's a it's hit or miss but I Wonder if we can go back and trace. And was there a trade deadline deal where then the guy was the best player in the playoffs and led them to the promised land? Because that's where it just feels like that's happening here. Yeah, it's usually depth guys.

Or you go get Kyrie, and it's like, oh, next year. This is going to take till next year. It's usually like depth guys or it's you go get Kyrie and it's like oh next year This is gonna take till next year It's usually not that the best player on your team in the playoffs against his former team to make matters more Filling in for guys who were injured in the first we're not filling in but picking up the slack for What did you what you guys think about the third goal? Like it's never a good player Hold on. Yeah, like they don't get traded Luca going to Luca was the best player, but he went to a team That's not like they weren't championship ready kind of anyway And then added this player right and then he's also the best player on the team like the Mavs were championship ready type thing

Frankly, it would have been like the Mavs adding Anthony Davis for almost nothing. To Luca and whatever, because that's what they did. They didn't have to trade any of their really good players. No, Dankovin is a, not a prospect, but he's a young player. I've never seen anything like it. The numbers speak for themselves. That's like 13 straight goals of being a part of 15 out of 16. Like his last seven games like that yeah they're silly. It's ridiculous. His stats in the playoffs are silly. The

third goal which turned out to be the game-winning goal and so that makes it a little more consequential I suppose. Yeah I mean I'm not necessarily momentum guy when it comes to using it to predict future events. But when Miko scores 49 seconds after that review concludes that went nine minutes, it felt like there was some level of hangover there. But then, of course, if they had scored right away, we would have said, yeah.

And there's probably an equal number of times that the other team scores 49 seconds later or whatever. But once Miko did score, now the roof was off the building. But, so yeah, it was a lot of controversy. The the Jets are not happy about it to this moment, right? They're like, clearly that was a kick you are allowed to redirect the puck with your skate as long as you're somebody on your own team touches it with their stick again well I thought they clarified

it clarified it during the review they said the kicking motion is not what made the puck go in yeah because but he did say that in the review there was a kicking motion yeah Yeah but I don't know it's almost like a it's not almost it is like reading legal precedent where this is like okay this may have happened but this happened so that doesn't matter and then this happened so that doesn't matter and Bissonnette on the broadcast or the post game had a good point about the kick because it's Petrovich,

right? Yes. Yeah, that's a crazy story too. That's one great thing about hockey playoffs. The guy who only plays in the playoffs? You get like a 30-year-old who played five games this year and has been in the minors. He's going to play more playoff games. Yeah, it's crazy.

Coaches have that guy. Every coach, I mean, I don't even know, in the NBA it happens all the time like it's it's Carlisle with Barea, but The fact that he's right-handed he's on the left side of the goal and when he kicks it with his left skate He's trying to kick it to his forehand Like he's not kicking towards the goal He's kicking backward right so that's part of it is that the kicking motion is not is not going towards the net. But then, as Blake brought up, and I don't know, it depends on your interpretation of the rule because they said that Hellebuck propelled the goal,

propelled the puck into the net with his stick. It doesn't say, they didn't say deflected, they said propelled. But it does make sense that once a goalie makes a play on something, it has to extend their arm to do it. That's now their play. It's also the longest review I've ever seen in any sport. Yeah, they started playing Freebird as a joke and then I think this whole song played. I think they do it every review. Like as a joke, just as a how long could this take? And then they got to the solo. Right.

It's like, no, that's not supposed to happen. But I think it's not just because it's a Starz thing. I read an explanation of it that made sense to me that that is the word and spirit of the rule. Good goal. Yeah, I don't know if you're on the other side, if you'd be complaining about it. Yeah.

Probably would. Probably. But also, they could have stopped that next goal too. Yeah, yeah. So that's the point. Speaking of momentum. You did not win by one. They looked awful in game two. They got destroyed.

They could not muster any offense at all. Not that they were great out of the gate yesterday, but that definitely tells you the whole series momentum thing doesn't have much to it. Do you guys, go ahead. Saw that in Colorado. They dominated game five, got trounced game six, one game. I mean this, you live and die by each game. Do you guys recall how the last two Star Seasons have ended? So last year they made it to the conference finals and got up two, one, and I don't think they won again.

Edmonton. Yeah. Do you remember how the year before that ended? No. Vegas? That's the Jamie Vignere. Oh. That kind of has just gone away because they

were good again the next year. They made the conference finals last year. They're good this year. That was a big deal, dude, when he took a run at Mark Stone. Super unnecessary and got himself suspended during a playoff series. And I believe also created like a five minute, five on three maybe that it was something, it ended the series. Right.

You know, and he was kind of not cool about it in the immediate aftermath. He did not apologize. Yeah. And history might shine on Jamie Ben here. Yeah, maybe. It's just, it's weird to think about how their last two seasons have ended and where they sit right now. I want it real bad for those guys. And you'll remember he was eligible to return in game seven. They won game six and then got dominated. Everyone thought that they could ride the Jamie Ben entrance.

The Jamie Ben momentum, yeah. Yeah. entrance The Jamie Ben momentum. Yeah Yeah, it'd be great to see them It is when it all yeah, I mean Sagan that would it's just a cool story none his career. You don't get that many the trajectory of an organization to be like hey, we've got these guys that we got when they were 19 and 23. And a decade later, we're still going to be good, and they're still going to be here. And they're making moves to try and, like, Jim Neal,

I feel like he deserves it. I feel like, you know. The only thing is, like, I think they're going to be good for a minute. Maybe even the owner, because he stuck with Jim Neal and kind of had a plant like I Thought the Jim Nill hiring was great when they did it And I'm kind of glad they did stick with them because there's been times when you could have seen another owner

maybe even a guy in the same building would have Would have made some changes when they shouldn't have I'll give you a little bit today in Twitter before we take a break. Okay, we could say this is brought to us by Fair lease org That is a place to lease a vehicle. It is it is a place to lead the vehicles a fleet of vehicles Let's say you have a business and you'd like to hook up a fairly fairly start org is the way to do that They can make this very, or they will make this very, very simple for you.

They'll deliver that vehicle right to your door. You can do this all from your phone at FairLease.org. They've been with us for a while now, so if you're looking to lease a vehicle, we stand by them, we trust them. They're a Texas company, they're in affiliation with the Credit Union of Texas. You know, you're dealing with good people at Fair Lease. It's Fair Lease.org

Lease your next vehicle top dollar for your trade-in great financing options Just give them a look give them a chance to earn your business at Fair Lease.org Oh one other thing that came out of that game That people were wondering is they're going to be Like will Marchment be suspended. Did you see that? It was like a shin tap, wasn't it? Yeah. He was really upset. Because he got taken down and yeah, he started chirping at a ref for not calling a penalty

and then as he went back by the ref, he just, he tapped him on the shin but he hit the ref. Like you wouldn't even think if you just kind of touched the ref They'll they'll you know other leagues would suspend you yeah, but according to Elliott Friedman He said the league discussed it And they say it's the on ice officials call to decide if that qualifies as abusive officials violation to the officials credit He did not. To the official's credit, but that's a bad setup.

But an NBA official would have run him in half a second for looking at him. Yeah, you're probably right about that. But I don't love the league putting it on the ref, right? Because now he's got to make the decision. His livelihood. OK, yeah, I guess I'm just a giant pea over here. You hit me with a stick, and I'm a jerk for pointing that out.

The league should be in charge of that. But it is credit to him for not making a big deal out of it. So not only was it Mother's Day, but I saw some back and forth on Twitter. People were upset that they, apparently this is called National Dog Mom Day as well. What? This is on, like, is it one of those deals

you just, did dog.com pay for it? Hashtag dog mom. Look that up for all the stuff yesterday. Oh my God, this is why Trump won won and people were tweeting outs things like this first Hashtag Mother's Day in 14 years without my baby Phil it's been five months since you crossed that rainbow bridge I still come home expecting to see your face greeting me at the door I miss you and love you so much. Hashtag dog mom forever in my heart.

Which will cause the internet to have people jump out saying, stop insulting moms by equating, quote, dog moms to real moms. You know what? There's no comparison. I ride with the moms on this one. Yeah. That is ridiculous. Imagine, the thing that you have that distinguishes you

is that you, out of your vagina, can create life. Very painful. That is not the same as going to the SPCA and picking up a dog. It's just not. What about this one? There could be a force field. Uh oh. Today we're celebrating all the moms who give unconditional love to their families and their furry companions. From service members and spouses to our amazing boarders, B-A-O-A-R,

boarders who step in when needed. Happy Mother's Day. Hashtag dog mom. The account is called Dogs on Deployment. That's tough to argue with. We have a wounded veteran slash support the troops thing here. This dog has served his country well. I just don't, but it feels aggressive. Like they should have National Dog Mom Day just not on the same day as Mother's Day or the same weekend as Mother's Day.

It is, you're a mom. You don't want to be compared to Paris Hilton who has like a rat in her purse and says I'm a dog mom. That's not the same. It is to her. to her see Post Malone I did. Heck yeah. In concert wearing a Brandon Aubrey jersey yep. Wonder if Brandon Aubrey was there? I wouldn't be surprised if he was you gonna text him? He would have texted me if he was. Oh you think he's reaching out to you now what do you got tonight? I know he's reaching out to you now? What do you got tonight? I know he's

Yeah today We're having a great time out here in Greenville. Yeah, today, by Wednesday, things around here are gonna suck. We will have our first 100 degree day of the year by Wednesday. We will have temps in the 90s tomorrow, Dan. Damn. Here we go! Time for the early morning walk. Got up a little, I felt a little like Jake today.

Got up at 6.30. Usually 7.30. But I just thought, all right, you know what? We got an early show. Get up a little early for some show prep so it'll feel like the same amount of time I'm spending on the show and all that. And it felt good. Felt good being out early.

You know what I did? Darker. I went to the sauna at 5.15 this morning. Wow! Never done the early one before. Like I've done it post workout but this morning I was like I don't have time to go up there and fully work out but what if I go read for the show and listen to audio in the sauna? It was great. I thought you're like cold bath guy. It's both. You want to do both.

You want to use the sauna and then you want to use the cold for showers, cold tub, cryo, whatever. Morning sauna is great though. It feels like sauna would be great anytime. Yeah. So it'll be hot. You're saying Wednesday there will be a sauna for everybody. That's right.

This is a quick hit story here but I saw this this note on Fox4's website over the weekend. I guess probably how this works is law enforcement agencies, in this case ICE, just give the news agencies, hey, we arrested somebody, do a story. A guy, a 42-year-old Venezuelan man, Venezuelan National, was arrested in Grapevine last week, wanted in Mexico, or excuse me, in Venezuela for four contract killings.

And the photo that they posted of them arresting this guy, again, is like down the street from my house. And it just makes me think, like how many times are you just going into the gas station and the guy in front of you who's just getting a can of dip or a guy could be a contact. Yeah, I got four bodies they know about. They're looking for me right now in grapevine. It just was the guy.

It's a normal looking truck. They're by those apartments on main. Can you make it look like an accident? And it's just it's. Yeah, they walk amongst us. I suppose she goes to Pilates every... That's the guys that are always getting caught. You're trying to get your wife killed or your husband killed.

Yeah. Yeah, except for that one. And I've got to be honest, when I was leaving Sauna this morning they were doing a fit camp out on the soccer field and you know what I think of every time I see one of those. What's that? Midlothian and the unsolved murder. That was a that was like a fit camp that was happening outside at a church and the lady was there they set it up that morning the instructor when fucking stay puff marshmallow man walked through there or woman and killed her.

And it never solved it? No, it was like a pre-dawn. Then that's what I'm saying. I'm looking over there at this today and like, that's kind of what we're talking about here, just a little field. I have no idea why this came out now, but it seems to happen around this time of the year, every year, it is the final tally for most popular baby names in the country from 2024.

Oh good. This is important for you. Have you named your baby yet? We're down to two. Your boy girl? What is it? Boy or girl? Come to papa.

Let me take a crack at this. I have thought about asking you, but if we go with the one you didn't pick, then you just hold that over me forever. No. Yeah, to two it's a boy boy dad boy look at this guy actually read something last turn around boys that's less manly churning out a boy yeah there's that there is actual science here that would indicate that that the Warriors amongst us more often produce females because actually that's like balancing society. There you go.

So whatever, I mean, you can be- Our sperm is way better. But you know what? I'm pretty sure we need another guy on the high beams or whatever it's called. I think that just means you were on the bottom. No, we used to work with someone who I believe has said this on the air.

So, but yeah, his answer to how you have so many boys was canine style. No, and I remember I think my wife's friends had some theories on... Yeah, they all have them. If you... God, wife's be having theories. Curl up right when, you know, a pond while it's You can curl up right when, you know, upon while it's mixing in there or something. Mixing? Just whatever, like just we have to lay... I just want to reset the remote for everyone. It's the dumb zone and one lady.

Sitting here right now, mixing. The community will tell you if you're on top it'll be a boy. And would you agree with that? I would say that they're two for two. You want the male or the female names first? I want you to comment on that guy's shirt first. Ah it's amazing. It's a Mavericks football jersey, it's Cuban, it's got the dollar sign on the back, looks like it's 20 years old. It's glorious. It's the dollar sign. It's glorious.

It's the names you think. Top 10 male baby names from 10 to 1. Liam is number one. And it has been for years, right? Yeah. Number two. Jackson. No.

If you want number two, I'm only going to give you that one, because it does pertain to our show, as I believe there is a budding D3 all-Star with this first name, his last name, Kanega. Noah? Oh wow. Number three, and I got one of these in my friend group, I found Oliver tonight. That's a solid name. Oliver?

Yeah. That sounds nerdy. Dude, I don't know, we got an Ollie in our group and it might be because he has like a long hair for a three-year-old But he looks sick. Yeah, like best friend is an ollie pop. Yeah Speaking of nerdy, I don't know that you could pull off Theo unless you're a real badass Theodore It's a cool name but Theo Huxtable It's a cool name but Theo Huxtable

So what I think of now Vaughn of course in the mainstream Five down James Henry at seven Matteo Wow And it begs the question. I wish mom. I wish wife lady Is ice right there as Matteo comes out? Waiting for the paper yeah no but it's it so I thought about this when when when I was having kids there are some names that I like that sound ethnic mm-hmm but I feel like if I if I were to pick them it would be real like a real dola zolly and move

Rachel dole zone like I wanted to name a kid des Yeah, and it just seemed like you know skin can pull it off I guess cuz he's he's like cool did you run Luca Bayer Before Luca was well. Yeah, yeah, you having a kid. That was a no go. And I think also, you know, we have one in our friend group. We have a Luca. Who was named after Luca. How much does that inform, like you might not know those people two years from now. I've known them for 20 years.

Alright, maybe then. But Matteo would fit in, like could I name a kid Matteo? You know the other one I wanted was Joachim. Yeah. Boo. And I did not. That's really out there. but material would fit it like that i'd be the kid that they were you know the other one i want to was joe akin united that's really out there i don't know if it's a cool day those that they'll even possible if you're a gringo he just looked at weird forever i mean cause plans with the dirt in hollywood you can be a good day

top ten female baby names these are getting like old-school right everything is like Nora yeah is Nora on the list no but it's all very Nora uh-huh Ava's on the list at nine AVA yeah yeah you know yours is EVA right yeah Yours is EVA, right? Yeah. Doubling up here, because after checking in at number three on the boys, Olivia, the other side of Oliver, Olivia number one.

What is that about? Do we have a famous Olivia I missed? Mine? Who? Who? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Olivia Rodriguez, maybe. She's a big deal

number two Emma Number three Amelia number four Charlotte's number five Mia Sophia Isabella Evelyn Ava So we just it's just an a at the end of everything Olivia Emma Amelia Mia Sophia Isabella Ava Sophia 80 your top ten there crazy. A to your top 10 there. Crazy. Let's see here. I think this is just because of my unique position of looking at all the local news stories every Monday.

A lot of people die in car accidents in Dallas Fort Worth every weekend. Like an insane number of stories are just motorcycle accident, street racing accident. We had a street racing accident over the weekend. This one in Dallas. And the sedan who was racing crashes into a truck, truck driver dies at the scene. Driver seriously injured, expected to recover. Every Monday morning it's just here, all the people in street racing accidents and DFW.

It doesn't seem to be slowing down. I know it was a big deal during the pandemic. The takeovers, that's what this was. It was a takeover. There's a ton of them. Where are they doing it? Somewhere I wouldn't be? So I don't have to worry about it?

Probably at a time you would not be there. That's what it is. Yeah, this one was... What, it's like 2am? Yeah. I've been getting up earlier and earlier. I would guess. I haven't seen the story.

This one, 8pm. Uh oh. There you go. I can make that one. It's on your way home from Andy's. Yeah maybe. Maybe if there's an ice cream cone. I might just find myself in the middle of one and don't even know it. Just because I'm riding so fast to get home. Yeah. It's funny too. There was a video this weekend of a guy at a roundabout in Oak Cliff. Have you seen

that one? I didn't play it because it was like a news. He just goes straight. Like as he's approaching the roundabout at a high rate of speed, he just goes straight. So what happened? He launches over the roundabout and crashes on the edge of it. Like he just, whew. Looks like Grant that thought. So somebody, I was complaining once a few months ago,

I think, maybe not complaining, but about our tax dollars going to these roundabouts and there's these ornate sculptures in the middle of the roundabouts. And you know, during COVID it was funny because somebody put a mask on it. But otherwise I'm like, why is this, it just seems like a waste of money. And somebody, you know, know well actually guy emailed me and said well actually

That's to stop any you know To diminish crashes that could happen if you just if you just had a flat roundabout you would just drive right through the middle sometimes Or like if you've been drinking yeah, you know you're late at night or whatever You would just kind of go straight. You don't even know Or like if you've been drinking, you know, you're late at night or whatever, you would just kind of go straight. You don't even recognize that there's a roundabout. So the fact that there's a big thing there is what alerts you to the fact that you have to move.

That makes sense. And this one, you know, perhaps in Oak Cliff, they don't. This was, I'm going to try to get the video to pull back up here, but it was nine o'clock at night. And even if this guy didn't know, like like in general the reason it doesn't happen more might be because of exactly what you said but this guy yeah here I'll show you can just watch it if you want to react to it it's a quick shot he just takes off going straight yeah there you go and he just made it.

And to your point, they don't have anything in the middle there. It's just a roundabout and the guy just flies over it. He's like, this is quicker than the roundabout. Yeah. This is a bit of media news, because we don't have anywhere to talk about this. I'm actually pretty interested in the return to the mothership for the Rich Eisen show. Like Rich Eisen, apparently, he's been doing a show, we hear podcast promotions for it on the ticket all the time, I see clips of it every now and then.

And then I see this morning he's going back to ESPN, didn't really know who he worked for before and apparently it was Roku. What? The TV company? Or not TV, they make TV. But so, he's not leaving the NFL Network? No. Okay, when you first told me this morning Rich Eisen is going to ESPN, I thought you meant like he's leaving the NFL Network.

No, but I do have news on that. Alright. ESPN is in talks to purchase the NFL Network. No, but I do have news on that. ESPN is in talks to purchase the NFL Network from the league. And they would somehow meld these two things together and it would be like ESPN's NFL. That's the crazier part of the story, right? What's that going to look like? What's that gonna look like? Yeah, and do they still keep the NFL network and own that and it runs as its network or do they just subsume all the talent I have no idea how that's gonna work out, but Yeah, he's moving

Funny our funny Trump story of the day funny Trump story of the day, he had a truth social post last night where I think he actually said it was like the truth of all truths to end all truths but it was about prescription drugs and basically he is saying as they're negotiating with drug companies that a new rule will kick in that will tie the price of what the US pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries. What we're talking about here folks, is we'll beat any price you bring us.

Like he's just running the healthcare industry like a used car situation. Best Buy. Yeah, hey, you find a better offer, bring it here. Which seems great. But I really wanted to do this story just because I love how every week there's a different thing that he seems to kind of get interested in

and he's like, we're fixing this now. Okay, we're gonna buy, maybe it'll be Greenland this week. But maybe it'll be Gaza. Often though it's not fixed, it'll be Greenland this week. But often though it's not fixed, nothing really ends up happening. We just do a different story next week. Like last week- But this stuff might not even actually happen though. Like none of it? Yeah, that's the thing.

But if you look- It's kind of like the tariffs, now they're rolling them back. Oh. Right. Okay. I guess it was a thing. Yeah. Like, it's just too much. Yeah, I guess it was a thing yeah Like it's just too much

Yeah, I don't know. I don't does it even matter anymore. I don't know what matters. Do you guys? I don't I Don't know man. It's like so much that you can't get worked up or is it a smoke screen to Deflect you from this that's actually going on that Yeah to deflect you from this that's actually going on. Yeah. Yeah. One quick... It's just the polar op... It's one old guy, and now we got another old guy.

And the other old guy didn't do anything. You never saw him, you never heard him, he never said a word. There might be a State of the Union every year. And then you're like, oh, OK, then they put him back away. Yeah, they freeze him. Yeah, but Trump is every day. We're having a whole press conference about this every day. And then he'll say a few things.

They had him getting it out of Teslas a few months ago. Oh, yeah. I know which model is this, Elon. Why don't you tell folks at home all about this one? It's all computer. I forgot they did an actual car lot out front. A little bit of Pope news for you. Local tie.

Saw this, or the wife did, on the Gram over the weekend. You know my deli there in Grapevine that I'm a big fan of? Weinberger. Weinberger himself attended high school with the Pope. Oh, wow. They found him at the World Series game. Yeah, he's a Chicago guy. Weinberger's a high school with the Pope. Oh wow. They found him at the World Series game. Yeah, he's a Chicago... Weinberger's a Chicago deli.

And so just on like the Weinberger Instagram they're like, yeah, looking at the yearbooks and we just figured out... Is there some lady that banged the Pope? Or has the Pope never had love of a lady? That's a good question. If you're in high school. Has the Pope fired one up? A blunt. And which would be more offensive?

I'm going to say yeah. I feel like the sex would be more. They're supposed to be virgins, right? I know they don't do it once they've been paped up I don't know man anybody know if you could do it after you become Pope I could be Pope now then because I've been married a long time we don't have sex folks that's what I'm saying so uh in following some of Pope Leo's comments over the weekends, like he did his address, he made comments about AI. Was it like our education director

who said A1? Yeah. Isn't that Linda McMahon? I think so, yeah. Yeah, so the Pope says he will... Of course it is. Do we have Jared, by the way? Mm- yeah. Yeah, so the pope says he will call. Of course it is. Do we have Jared, by the way? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay, we got you. Bring him in the news. Hi, Jared.

Hey, what's up, guys? We're talking pope, bro. He's gonna closely follow artificial intelligence and regulations and the morality around it, which is interesting because did you guys see any George Pickens notes from over the weekend? So there was a series of posts, screenshots of them on the internet, right? That said they were from George Pickens' account and they were like trashing the Steelers and

calling them cheap and just going off on the Steelers. All they care about is football over there. It's just so ridiculous. So those got out there, which meant George Pickens had to address it and say that wasn't me. He had a social media post where he is on a plane, he says, no service, just landed and seen straight lies from pit fans. Okay, we all on the same page here so far?

Then he said, stop with AI trying to make a story. At which point, I think I realized that AI is now just 9-11, where anything that's kind of going south, you're like, and then this fucking happens because of AI, it's AI? Yeah. AI? Like, I seriously doubt it. It's just some guy made a fake, it's Photoshop. It's not...

Ah. AI is the buggy man now. Alright, there's your news. Here's Jared. Now can he play a close and an open, folks? The dumb zone will like and subscribe. What if the open is preceded by Jared's sponsor which is Lucy. Lucy.co slash dumb zone Lucy is my preferred pouch it's a hundred percent pure nicotine.

Lucy products are only for adults of legal age and every order is age verified. Warning, Jared, this product is, girls. Jared Sandler. How's it going, man? The top on our Griffey List, our show's Griffey List.

Right up there with Brandon Aubrey, we think you're first. Wow, that's quite an honor. The people have spoken and said, Ted's not in your league. Yeah. What? That's not, that's not. That's what I've heard. The main response was, I think Jared's good,

but I've got to reevaluate this. Are you guys worried there's some skeletons in Ted's closet? I'm just saying the people are. More than you. Yeah Ted's closet? I'm just saying more than you. The people yeah that's all we're saying is more than you. Your pier is the driven snow Jared. Jared are we about to go on a run? Except you've done time at least three right? Yeah hopefully yeah I mean this is I'll say this the the no one needs to make any apologies for the schedule or excuses or whatever they have not had a window like this where they have a week of

games against and I know this is gonna be a kind of edgy thing to say but Team in Colorado, that's one of the worst teams in major league history and then an Astros team. That's just not that good I'm not saying they're awful, but there's nothing about the Astros where I'm like wow that's tough right like Oakland or Sacramento or the athletics whatever the flip they're called they to me are a little like when you go play them in Sacramento that's like I don't I don't know what I'm getting myself into and their lineup's a lot better than Houston so anyway all that said, yeah, this is maybe good timing. It seems like they're starting to turn just independent of the opponent because they just took two out of three from the best team in the American league.

But now they've got a runway of a week at home against the Rockies and the Astros. This is not a bad time to try get things turned around the the Seeger situation yesterday was just precautionary Okay, that's kind of what I wanted to know cuz it feels like that's that's at the heart of this is I go back to that Conversation we had weeks ago where your ideal why it's back in the lineup Simian's moving down, you still have, like we haven't had consistency with that

other than really the last week and it's been great, but what are we looking at there? Yeah, I think we'll probably find out in the next couple hours. You know, if there's no roster move, then that's a good sign. That means that even if Corey's not in the lineup tonight, that hopefully he can be back tomorrow the next day, but you know, I just wonder

It seems to me that Corey knowing how Corey's wired He was aware that this team's lineup was not producing and he is aware that he can impact that as much as anyone and probably wanted to come back and get in there to try and turn things around as soon as possible. But maybe, you know, under different circumstances would kind of hang back a little longer and perhaps perhaps, you know, he feels like after coming back for a couple weeks or whatever that maybe it's best to try, tap the brakes for a little bit and hopefully make this a non-issue. Now I don't know if they were to go that route.

I don't know is that two weeks, is that four weeks? I have no idea. I also don't know with the advancements in medicine, can you get a shot and it, you know, takes the pain away for a month and then you get, I don't know how all that works, right? But I do know, and it was painfully evident on Saturday that he was playing through a lot of discomfort. I mean, watching him run the bases on his home runs was not fun to watch, right? So I mean, watching him run the bases on his home runs was not fun to watch, right? So I have a lot of respect for what this guy plays through. He's not someone who stands on the mountaintop and shouts out how much pain he's playing

through, but it's very obvious. But I do think there's a possibility that we're going to maybe see another IELTS stint, or if not, then I imagine the Senate's going to have to be managed the rest of the year. Damn. If not, then I imagine the Senate's gonna have to be managed the rest of the year damn Hey, I do can I interest you in a burger though because I do I do think a burger and a Higgy might be returning I think there's a good chance that Jake burgers were called today If not today here in the next few days and Kyle Higashiyoko Hopefully will be activated today or in the next few days as well

It'll help Let's see let's play good bit, bad bit, or are you indifferent to the bit that Josh Young was doing with his brother yesterday? The tic-tac-toe? Yeah, so they both play third base, made a little tic-tac-toe board. We've they both play third base, made a little tic-tac-toe board. We've seen this before, right? In the world of baseball. And pitching now, yeah. So somebody, they did a tic-tac-toe game

throughout the game. And if you are a teammate of one of them and you think it's a bad bit, are you allowed to just... Kick it? Yeah, just kind of scuffle over it. And ruin their game if you're anti Josh Young but yeah you got to interview them before was it before the game I guess on Mother's

Mother's Day and I saw your tweet I think which would indicate that brothers in Major League Baseball to play against each other on Mother's Day seems to happen about once a decade. So it's a pretty rare situation that happened yesterday. Yeah over 400 pairs of brothers or sets of brothers I guess like the Alous there's three of them. Over 400 in Major League Baseball but and credit to Evan Grant for this, I read dug it up but I guess yesterday was the ninth occasion in which brothers played with or against each other on Mother's Day.

I'll tell you, the interview was really cool. Now you guys would enjoy this. We only played about three minutes of it. It was about a 15 to 18 minute conversation. The intention was never to play all 15, 18 minutes, but maybe more than the three minutes, but they had a massive church service going on on the field, which very appropriate for me. And they had like, Tiger, what's it called when you talk about the importance of Jesus in your life?

Witnessing, testimonial. Testimony. They had a bunch of players giving their testimony, including Frank Tanana, a former player, former Ranger too. And so it kind of got in the way of the ability to run large parts of the interview. The Tigers weren't the most helpful in us finding a quieter place, but it was actually really cool. You know, I would ask a question and then they would just start arguing for like two to three minutes. And Jake, I don't know if you experienced this with Joe, right, like my brothers and me, like still,

we have dinner with the family and we'll start arguing who's the best at this and who's the best at that. And no, you're an idiot, you suck. Dad would just be nice to you. But that's like what it was. But they are exceptionally close. And it's really cool, it's been cool over the years to see Josh get into big brother mode

and being with pride over certain things. Jace getting drafted or even before that Jace at Texas Tech and you know we'll be in the clubhouse and the Tigers game will be on and Josh will be locked in but you know they they are they are brothers in every single way and that was kind of fun. Unfortunately we didn't get to play a lot of those parts but it was a cool weekend. It was cool that Josh hit the home run. I was okay with the tic-tac-toe, although your suggestion of the player just, you know, swiping dirt to wipe it clean. That might have been the best bit. As a

matter of fact, like I'm imagining if Elvis had a brother who played Major League Baseball and Elvis and his brother did that, Beltray would totally go over there and kick it and like look and smile at them. But that was the best bit. Let me just say this too. Remember this Dan, if you think it's a bad bit. There's probably gonna come a day

where one of them is having a kid and they will be announcing the gender of that kid to their brother and their spouse on television. And that's a worse bit than this. So as far as brother, that's gonna happen right like this is an epidemic pandemic whatever you want it's I think the leagues need to get involved yeah um integrity of the game are you excited to see Warren Schaeffer make some moves man Do you guys know who that is? Uh the go ahead. No. I'm yes I'm now trying to memorize the uh. New Rockies baseball. Yes Bud Black got fired yesterday. After they

won. Which you were really upset about. You're a big Bud Black guy. Big Bud. He got fired up. But honestly though. For Indian great. It made me think of uh what happened the hitting coach here Donnie Eckert. He got fired on the day they put up like eight runs. Oh, really? There's a Sunday. It was like, look, this is happening. Either way. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's incredibly sad how I mean, they are.

We thought the White Sox were bad. This team's worse. I think their average loss is double. They're on their own pace to win like 20 something games. Twenty five games. Yeah. Yes. Forty is the least ever. Right. Average loss is double. They're on yeah, they're on pace to win like 20 something games 25 games Yeah, yes 40 is the least ever right and and 40 well, yes, so the White Sox won 41 last year 41 and 121 or whatever the math is but the 1962 Mets were 40 and 120, you know in a one fit. Yeah in a one Somehow they didn't pay play 162.

I don't know, maybe a couple of rain outs they didn't finish. So, but like we talk about Jerry a lot and I Jerry's a big part of the problem. He's no Dick Monford though. I just like, I think going through the world series here in 2023, it caused me to think a lot about like the construction of the team and why certain organizations have success and others don't and hey, don't get me wrong. I'm aware that the Rangers are in a stretch here of one winning season since the end of 2016. That one was was a pretty big one though. So maybe it's a little bit of a protection, but like I

Jerry Reinsdorf clearly has no clue what he's doing all right the white socks suck Dick Monfort is a joke but you can't like what are you going to do you can't fire him right but like it there's so many things that they do that it's just a total tragedy but one of the things that makes zero sense to me they are like arguably 30th out of 30 major league clubs in terms of like the, their utilization of data and analytics and technology. Like who cares if you like batting average or Wobbamore, just like the use of technology and they've got the biggest mystery to solve. Like it is solvable. All right. I don't know. Playing a course field in the altitude absolutely is a challenge and maybe it's going

to prevent you from going on a run like the 90s Yankees or something, but you can't convince me that you can't figure out the best type of player to try and bring in, yet they're the team that is putting forth the fewest amount or the least amount of financial resources towards like technology to try and figure this stuff out. It's, it's, it's sad. And it's not good for baseball. When you suck in the NFL, you can pick first and draft a quarterback. And like your fan base can get excited about that. When you suck in the NBA, you can draft LeBron James or Cooper

flag or, you know, someone. And it excites the fan base when you suck in Major League Baseball you draft a guy who you hope you'll see in a few years and even if that guy's Paul Skeens and it's sooner than a few years Paul Skeens is fun every five days but he's not turning the Pirates into a winner by himself. It's the beauty and the curse of the structure of baseball one guy is not going to be able to change tilt the scales as much as one guy can in the NBA and the curse of the structure of baseball. One guy is not going to be able to change, tilt the scales as much as one guy can

in the NBA or the NFL. So when you're a fan base of a team that sucks like the Rockies, the end is nowhere near in sight. And that's really bad for the sport. Yeah, it sucks too, just from a smaller standpoint. The ballpark and the setup is so great. That's a destination ballpark. Have you ever been there, Dan? Yeah and the setup is so great. That's a destination ballpark.

Have you ever been there, Dan? Yeah, it's so great. And to have that be just a dumpster fire from an ownership standpoint, that sucks. Yeah, it really is unfortunate. And they have, like guys, I'm doing research, like prep for this series. There's nothing like, I mean, Chase Billander.

Yeah, Chase Billander is pitching tonight for them. And he should eventually be good, but maybe not because he pitches for the Rockies. But at least the White Sox last year had Luis Robert, who, you know, in theory is one of the more exciting players in baseball. But if you could ever put it together, the Rockies got Nada. There's nothing about the Rockies that excite me whatsoever one bit and it's sad time for trivia Jared Sandler gives away Rangers tickets every week right here how do we do it Blake Jared we'll give the question and then first correct answer in the chat receives Rangers tickets

How easy is that pretty straightforward? All you have to do is know the answer to the following question from the great Jared Sandler All right, do you guys want a an Astros theme question with the Astros coming to town this week Or do you want just a general Major League Baseball question? And every week when we do this, he starts it by asking us Trying to be helpful Is that the question? I'm giving you the menu

The question for the chat is do we want I'm gonna make a poll An Astros question Send that an email, Blast, Blake and we'll get back on this. We'll wait 10 or so minutes I'm sorry, Jared. How about an Astros question? Okay My bad You're doing okay. Thank you. No, appreciate it. There are there are two players All right, there are two players who have made an all-star team

Both while with the Rangers and while with the Astros who are those two I would say like on a spicy level one to five this is like a two like a difficult one of them seems super easy but I'm also not a baseball historian maybe yeah I've got one for sure wasn't the all-star thinking that's well he was definitely an all-star here right but? But was he with the Astros? Probably, you just have to assume he was. Yeah, we're of course all speaking about Rangers and Astros legend Lance Berkman. I was talking about John Daniels.

Ah, okay. Yeah. Your South Lake brother. Lance Berkman. So while they kicked that around, Jere, did you think Otani was mocking Uriel? Of course. Because now they're tracing it back to Otani did a commercial. Oh.

And they think it's because of that. But I'd like to think that Otani's going at Uriel there. Because that would make him cooler, right? Yeah, I think so. And I mean, I guess standing up for U Darvish, who was mocked by Uli Gurriel. That's what I was going to bring up, yeah. That one kind of just went away. He was straight up doing the eyes in the dugout.

Do you remember that to him? Kind of. That was a real spicy one, culturally, because it's like, well, he's a minority. So I think. I love those. Those are the best ones. I was like, all I know is I can't do it. I'll leave you guys to decide who can. So what do we do? Do you want to start submitting answers, Blake? See what's right? I think we have the right answer in the chat.

Okay, so I'm guess Nolan Ryan, Blake? See what's right? I think we have the right answer in the chat. Okay, so I'm guess Nolan Ryan, right? Nolan Ryan is correct. That has to be the layup. And then who was the other All-Star on the Astros All-Star? Can you give us a decade? Last decade. Okay, the 2010s. Oh, God. uh last decade okay the 2010s

oh god this should be easier that's I know in division position player or in the field or excuse me pitcher position player okay it can't solve. Do you have a feel?

Oh, you already know the answer, so you can't. All right, let's wrap it up. What do you think? It's just the dumb guys. Is it Carlos Beltran? No. Is it Hunter Pence? Hunter Pence.

Damn! We had a show with him. Yeah, Hunter Pence? Hunter Pence. Damn, we had a show with him. Yeah, Hunter Pence, just kind of bizarre that in that super random year in which Hunter Pence was a ranger after basically not being thought of as a major league baseball player anymore, he ended up being an All-Star in 2019.

Woody's first season, and that was about the stats. He was an All-Star. That's right. Do you remember talking to him and his wife? Oh, yeah. That was such a random appearance on the Ranger radar. It was a really weird show. That's kind of how Jock Peterson feels this year,

is like, OK, I guess this guy's here. Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. Yeah, he loved The View of Thrones, right? The whole All-Star thing. It's a little different. Yeah. Well, there's still time. There is still time.

But you, my friend, are out of time. Thanks for joining us this week. Hey, thanks, guys. That's the great Jared Sandler. Watch him tonight and every night. Quality television. Oh, you didn't give me words. I need words.

Well, yeah, we're going to have to do that next week. Thanks, dude. Sorry. Did you record his words from last week? I didn't get a tip, so I don't know if he did them. He probably did. I just wasn't on it. All right.

You'd have thought that was recorded the way I nailed that.

I played it. And edited. That's right, you'd have thought that was like four takes and oh man they must have to cut out a... No. This guy can read. That's what you got here, folks. So we have a little today in history.

Hey. We bring a lot to the table. Literacy in the package. And it might be the dumb zone, but we can read and stuff. Put it on a t-shirt. Make that the start of the show today. I don't know if it should bother me that bad, but sometimes I'll put clips of the show up

on Instagram or Twitter and it spreads to people that are not familiar with us. And it's a pretty common response of, boy, they are the dumb zone, aren't they? Yeah, you dork. The true secret is that we're just willing to be open and honest about it. Everyone else is hiding from what an idiot they are. I did enjoy it because I put the Winnipeg Jets song up and it made it to hockey world. It made it to hockey world.

And they're, oh, that song was made for kids. You don't get it. That guy's, you know, whatever. Oh, Ace Burpee. But then our people would get back in and say, yeah, but it sucked. That's the funny part. Who cares who it's for?

What charity it's for? Let's just rip it. Some viewer mail birthdays from Al. Want to wish Phil Pilo Lopez happy birthday. Pilo recently fulfilled a lifelong dream when he attended the NFL draft in the Dragon Den last month wearing a large NFL hat. Oh yeah that was pretty cool. That's a dicey nickname though, just going by PLO especially with all the heat happening over there Clayton. His leaders are the girl who stole the points

for sex set list, sex list out of Jake's book bag and made copies and posted them all over the school and the fat chick with huge sunglasses from Blake's tinder profile That's from either Al or AI I'm not real sure I Got a couple that have just trickled in as well Happy birthday to the newest DF my daughter. Oh wait. I'm sorry Dear Voyager of the vagina. Yes, man's a father fresh girl that speaking that way Happy birthday to the newest DF my daughter who is born Friday night

Another candidate for your bill Belichick era Stop making it so real. I for one just take comfort that she could be anything she wants in this world except the referee that does NBA playoff games. Let's not get carried away. Feel free to do more three-hour episodes as I need more things to listen to during the sixteen weeks of paternity leave my company gives me. Damn.

Jesus! What a scenario. That's awesome. Thanks, Woke. Huh? I'm sure the dumb zone has a similar policy for Blake's upcoming child. That's 16 weeks. Please get a name rating from Jake.

Let's do it. Lillian Jade Gerald. That's good. It has small, small porn potential, but as just like a pretty classy name, it's mostly that. The Jade thing's not helping you. This is from Chase, he says never punt. He says she'll go by Lily.

And I say to you, Chase, that might be what you want. You just don't know. You don't know how things are gonna unfold. Yeah. Like you want her to go by Lily. Did you have a nickname planned? She might go by LJ. Lily and J- I just don't know, you know?

She might- her sister might call her something when she's a baby and then all of a sudden that's gonna be her thing. Eh. I mean I hear you say that but you're also the author of like- They'll do what you say they're gonna do when they're early so if you could force it you try LJ's dicey you don't like LJ I don't love that I don't know we're just fresh off Emily telling us all the horrible things that her male and female friends called her in high school Don't want that. Can't avoid it though. I know but like. The nickname that has J in it for a female feels like it's ripe for me to be like, ugh, LJ? How about a BJ?

Yeah. Not good. Yeah, I would never think that. I mean I guess I could be like Lillian. Yeah, more like Drillian. Bill, you're on fire That is great Jade. I'm here just to get laid You know neighbor whatever you want it's you're a good dad you'll be fine Boy Drillian really hit over there didn't it all right? Okay? This is May 19th birthday. Somebody's sending me a May 19th birthday today.

Do you think that's too early? I think that's probably the spouse of someone who listens to the show. Just a week ahead. All right, we'll get to that later. Elsewhere, it is Monday, May 12th. On this day in 1903, the song, The Eyes of Texas, was first sung. In public public at least the performance took place at the Hancock Opera House in Austin it was a

minstrel show yuck benefiting the not menstrual the University of Texas track team that a track team in 1903. I think that guy was the... Are you faster right now? I was... I mean, that was my question. Could Brooks be on that team? My three-year-old. 1903.

On this day in 1922, a 20-ton meteor crashed near Blackstone, Virginia. And out of that crawled a small boy. No. Came from a planet far, far away. On this day in 1932, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr. He was a 20 month old kidnapped baby of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was found in the woods in New Jersey.

Popular crime. Yeah. Is that in there? Mm-hmm. That's a big one in there. When did you read that? Oh. A while back? Yeah.

Okay. Maybe y'all talked about it on the show. You let me borrow it, I think. I've read quite a bit of it. T.C. let me borrow it many years ago. Great book. Yeah. On this day in the year 2007, voters in farmer

farmers branch became the first in the nation to back an ordinance which would prohibit landlords from renting to most immigrants who are in the US illegally. This ordinance was never enforced and appeals court struck it down and I guess it got to the Supreme Court but boy I have no recollection of that at all. That's why I just threw it in there today like I don't remember this news at all and I thought if anybody did you would. Yeah I mean I was not living

here at the time but a Supreme Court case based in farmers branches news to me and on this day in the year 2010 a flight on its way from South Africa to Libya crashed this one man you know much about this one Johnny? 103 people died. A nine year old boy survived. His name Ruben Van Assel.

Solos? ...of major airline crashes, I guess that. I don't know what the number is though. I'm guessing like over 100 people.

There have been 14, there are 14 people that all share that trait. Damn, they've got to get together every year, right? At least a Facebook page. That feels pretty weak. We survived a plane crash. It's like, we can't link up and, Well I said at least. Link up and,

Reyes Seahorn is 53. Oh better call Saul. Chris Saka 50. Oh he's like a technology guy. He's on Shark Tank sometimes. He's a really really really, really interesting dude. Good stuff. Malin Ackerman is 47. You know where I... He had interesting comments during the wildfires in California.

Because he was like the first... He's a relatively liberal guy. But he was the first guy I'd heard say, you know these fires are happening in part because of the environmentalist. Like that they set things up to where it's so hard to get this built or use new materials and builds and this and that. This is a really insightful thing of like, you know, you think you have the right ideas. Sometimes you've got to stop and be like, maybe we're not on the right track here, liberalism. But it burned down, so it's not really

concerning anymore, I guess. Malon Ackerman 47, she... Why do I know that name? Is a hot who is in Children's Hospital, which is criminally underrated, just because you guys don't even know it exists. I swear you'd love it. And Billions. You'd also love it if you can find it.

I've seen some episodes. It's got the... It's only ten minutes long. Yeah. So you'd also love it if you can find it. I've seen some episodes. It's got it's only ten minutes long Yeah, so you'd really love it Rob she was the billions wife oh Okay Jason Biggs 47 Huge Rami Malek is 44 for Mr.. Robot Almost our birthday of the day. Cause I love him.

Nathan Fielder, 42. Whoa. I gotta get on that new show. How is this not the feature of the day? Have you started it? How is he not birthday of the day? You're gonna find out in a moment. It's gonna take a lot.

Why are you staring at Blake like that? I don't know, I'm just waiting on you to read the next name and see how he reacts. Okay. Anyway, I am watching the rehearsal, are you? I'm gonna, I will. I heard this season is... It's... More insane than the last, which doesn't seem possible.

I don't really know... If I like it or not. I think I just want to live in a world where there's only Nathan for you. Because Nathan for you is just so great. Yeah, I don't seem possible. I don't really know if I like it or not. I think I just want to live in a world where there's only Nathan for you. Because Nathan for you is just so great. Yeah, I don't need more. But now he's trying to go 18 levels above it. And I don't know that I'm that smart that I can figure it out.

I just want the car wash next to the big tree full of birds that will poop on your car. I just want to live there. All right, our birthday of the day. 63 years old. Emilio Estevez. Whoa! Emilio! Damn. Not only Charlie Sheen's brother. No, I mean he's Gordon Bombay. He got a DUI and changed the course of NHL history forever. I can't. It's true. Mighty Ducks don't exist in Anaheim if Gordon Bombay doesn't drink all of that scotch that night.

And how would you have reacted if I made Nathan Fielder our birthday of the day? I would have been upset. You made the right call. Yeah, but now I'm upset. So you made the right call. But now I'm upset. So you made the right call. Yeah, I wish that you guys respected those movies. Came up this morning on a call. Frustrating. But it comes up just about every call I make with Jake off the airs.

I loved it. I had those movies memorized. When we go on road trips, I would just do the airs. I loved them. I had those movies memorized. When we go on road trips, I would just do the whole thing. My parents loved it. Born on this day now dead, Florence Nightingale. The nurse? Give me a year, she was alive. You can lop off the 1500s in before.

Nurses weren't really. 1950. I would say, well, what's the question? Just give me a year where she was alive. The 30s. She died in 1910. Damn it. At the age of 90.

Also died, born on the stay now dead George Carlin He was great. Was great. Oh, what happened? Dead on the stay still dead. Well yeah he's dead. So Jake's saying you're not that great anymore like you haven't put out any new material. Right. Died on the stay still dead you have Robert Reed he was the dad in the Brady Bunch. You ever see that? No.

You're aware of the Brady Bunch? No. Yeah. They got the nine squares open. But you've never seen an episode. Should I? I don't know. Like I watched it because it was on and I was a little kid.

Right. I would have to go like legit try to find it. Where's it on? Oh, let me sit down and watch it. You could find it, but it's not good. And it's not because it's old, it's just not good. Like most things. Sucks. And, our feature dead on this day is still dead. We have Joe Valdez Caballero died, well,

he died on this day. He was the creator of the hard taco shell. It's pretty good. Yeah, it is. Give me a year he was alive. When do you think the harsh taco shell was created? Can I go first? 1940.

I'm going to say it was way later than you think. Maybe 50. I'm going to go 1960. Okay, you guys are in the park then. He died in 1989 so. Yeah. At the age of 81 so he's somewhere in the 1900s. I would have thought it was a long time ago but I don't know.

That was my first thought 1800 something but I couldn't picture a Civil War soldier eating a hard shell taco. Yeah he's like messy, it's cracking all over his hands. He's like what are we doing here? Like he's firing a musket. Why didn't we invent that? Well, it's higher calories. Well, there's a preferred taste possibly, I mean the shell is fried, but yeah, when you think about the like Mexican soldiers of the 60s. It's a way bigger mess though. Like I imagine some guys like, where's the guac bar? You're trying to get by in the 1800s, not like, ooh, I like a little crunch.

No. But I think that might. And that was Today in History. Yeah, I was gonna say, is it even a Mexican dish? You're not gonna get chili con queso in Mexico right generally you can get it as a Tex-Mex dish yeah I feel like they're real basic there yeah or at least when I was there it's you got a pile of chicken here and you got pile of tortillas and there you go guys yeah make your thing

and you're like whoa where's all like you said where's the bar where is my Doritos loco show I thought this was Mexico so closing remarks the time has come now who are you today I'm not sure what to call you Johnny outlaw okay yes sir am I allowed to use your other name or no? Sure. Yeah, yeah, I mean what else we know you're dead name Him we know him as Brad Wheeler. Yeah From scenario, but today he's Johnny outlaw yeah, and Do you know if you got into an accident or had a personal injury like who you would call?

Frankles, of course. Do you know a phone number for the Frank? I think I would just start jamming that three if I ever hit an area code code first But yeah, you're good there two one four eight one seven three three three thirty three thirty three They're gonna sponsor closing remarks today and testing just in case you know, you're listening to this and you veered off the road and gotten An accident if it's so bad that you fall asleep at the wheel when you wake up, call the Frankles. Call Frankle and Frankle. Personal injury attorneys. It doesn't have to be in an accident, but from what we understand, that is kind of a, a lot of their business comes from that. But, uh,

yeah, I mean, if you're buddy, you're on like a ladder that was teetering that's worth calling if your buddy like nut taps you don't call the Frankles no no while a personal injury I feel like they have bigger fish to fry what if like a defenseman hits you in the shin with his stick as he's going by he's upset you didn't call. So where are we today? Where are we? We are in Greenville, Texas at Church Street Studio. So this place we purchased it in 2018 I believe maybe it was 19 and when we purchased it it has it was an out-of- of business birthing center. Birthing center? Birthing center. So right next to Jake, where Jake is sitting, there was a giant bathtub.

You can actually see where it was right here. We haven't totally replaced the flooring yet. So wait, there are things called birthing centers? Yeah, yeah. You know about this. That you could just go to instead of a hospital? Yeah, we looked into it. You looked into it, didn't you? No, my wife had our second number of things.

There's one down the street from my house. It's very common. You would have your baby in a bathtub. I've heard of that, but I didn't know it was in a special... There's a place, yeah, and they'll have a whole... We toured a couple of them. Do you have to be accredited or...? I wish I knew.

I think it's pretty light. Fast and loose? Yeah. But they're great. Like we can open one up on the side? I don't know the license. I can tell you this, it's not much. It's not like you have to be a doctor or a nurse.

But there are a lot of them. Could I someday be the surgeon general if I start with this? That's a very good topical joke. Thanks man. Really like it. Do you want to be the Surgeon General? She's not a doctor.

I guess we got a new one that's not a doctor or something. Or a general. How old were you when you found out that person wasn't in the military? Because for me it was like a number that starts with three. Today, years old. So yeah, we purchased this. Where's the gun? Whenever we purchased this place,

it needed a lot of work. So there was a big bathtub here, there was no shower. So we pulled the bathtub out, we added this bathroom and then we listed it on Airbnb just last year. So it's been on Airbnb for less than a year but all the work has been done ourselves most well most of it has been done ourselves so we've added a fence we've added a backyard parking we've added outdoor seating very cool back there thank you but we think this

space could be used for more than just an Airbnb we think it could also be a studio for recording podcasts for co-working space, for recording music. And I'm happy to report that the Dumb Zone is the first show recorded here. So, we're hopeful. It's a good spot for that. We're hopeful. We are your proof of concept.

We are your proof, yes, you are our first. So, we're hopeful that this can be start of something. And so if any dumb zone listeners hear this and they're interested in using this space, we have a website, it's churchstreetstudio.us. It's extremely basic, but it's a way to find us. So Church Street Studio is a way to find us. And for now, when it says to reserve,

it's just gonna send you to Airbnb for now. But if this thing does end up taking off and we do end up doing anything with it, we'll grow that, but we'll see. But if anyone is hearing this and they would like to rent this space, I'd like to make a special for any dumb zone listeners. So right now our list price is 110 a night.

But for a dumb zone listener, we can do it for 69 a night. So just all you need to do is just mention to me that you heard it on the dumb zone in your Airbnb request and I'll reduce that for you. And if you want to stay for five days, I'll give it to you for $420 for five days. And then if we end up running it out by the hour or anything like that for recordings or co-working space. That would be that'd be wonderful. So more to come, hopefully on that.

So thank you guys for being here. We're hopeful that this can be the start of something. We'll take some pictures. We'll post them online. And so we have like we have listeners all over. And if somebody from Colorado is like, you know what? I want a vacation in Greenville, Texas, okay, you say that but We go down to like you know Wimberley dripping Springs the hill country and like I

Prefer that but this is really close to a number of like state parks lakes like the we're out here Close to being out here okay so I actually you know if somebody wanted to take like a weekend trip and You just you're within an hour of a bunch of really pretty places a walking distance to downtown. There's a downtown We're very close to the ladies They love a downtown for it. I didn't mean to point at you. I'm pointing outside the little old quaint downtown The ladies it's a nice spot. It's a really cool place

You're an interesting dude. You are you always have something new going on every time I see you that is true My wife is next to you. She'll tell you I've changed a lot over the every few years. I've and I'm recognizing it I kind of evolve a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean you got, you're just starting new businesses left and right. Well, businesses would be putting it graciously. It's more just hobbies. I just have a lot of hobbies and a lot of interests. But I am excited to retire so that I can turn these hobbies into businesses. I would love to have my hobbies be ways that I can make money.

But for now, they're just ways there's... What's your main gig? Scenario. Oh, okay. So I work in data. I've worked in data for 20 years. Okay. But for now, they're just ways there's what's your main gig scenario scenario. So I work in data. I've worked in data for 20 years. Okay, but I am excited. So Johnny outlaw is my business name. So by john is my first name, I go by my middle name, Brad, I just started this as a an LLC just as a way to start to do things on my own. So now I

have Johnny outlaw as an LLC. So it's the things that I do for things like Airbnb. And I also have things that I do for things like Airbnb. And I also have a little, I do have some t-shirts. So Gracie, if you want to hand out those shirts. She said you gave her like a name too. Yeah, so she's Gracie Goodnight. So yeah. I love this.

There's just bits all over this. How does every single person here have more scene control than even Dan and Blake? So I heard you guys mentioning, you know, that you wanted a shirt that said executive producer You mentioned that key grip so oh nice We got we got Clayton a key grip shirt and then you guys have executive producers and then Blake yours is a little bit Different I thought you deserved one that just explicit just straight-up said run the ball. Let's just keep it simple

Like on your own blanks. Yeah, so johnnyoutlaw.store these are all available. I don't make I make zero money so I sell everything for cost so if anybody is interested in any of these I have a lot of I have a lot of dumb zone related stuff because I as I hear you guys talk I just kind of type them up so we've got like some some random things out there if uh if if Clayton would like to pull that up and I've also got some more more in here if you guys want to swap them out for anything. And then if you want to grab that hat, I think that hat, I made that for you, Dan. So there you go, there's your Johnny Outlaw hat.

This guy knows how to brand himself. Yeah, for sure. And he knows how to wear a hat on you. Yeah. And then the final thing I just wanted to talk about was Wordle. So the very first time I came on, we had talked about, I play Wordle every day.

I play with my dad. I play with my wife. And every day, we send our stats to each other. Basically, what we do is we just send what we did. And Sebas, who's sitting next to my wife here, he's visiting us from Columbia, wrote an application that reads our screenshots and saves those to a database. And so since I was on your show back in September, we've actually had a few dumb zone listeners

join us. So now we have like I think five or six people. Shout out to Rawls and the others on the Discord server that post their water reserves every day. So you can see we have this dashboard. We can see how we're doing against each other. And if you would like to join us Dan, I know you play, I'd be happy to show you. It's really simple. Whenever you're done, you

just send your your screenshot. See, do you guys play hard mode? No, we just play regular. Okay, because I've recently switched to hard mode and I would be embarrassed if stats were lower than your guys. Well, we don't keep to me. It's almost too easy, right? Well, I don't know. I mean, I'm competing against. Do you have like a 90-some, 99%? Well, yeah.

All you're saying is all I'm trying to do is just win and just get guess this word within six guesses. Of course, it's too easy. But if you're competing against other people and I want to get it in four, I mean, you got it in three. Oh, so it's getting it quicker. Yeah, I had to get it in. If you got it in, if my wife gets it in three, then I have to get it in four. I mean, you got it in three. Oh, so it's getting it quicker. Yeah, I had to get it in. If you got it, if my wife gets it in three,

then I have to get it in two to win, right? So. You ever get one? I've never gotten one, but I believe she has. Dude, it was, what a feeling. Because you pick the same word every day. God, it's lame. And finally, it was like 400 days in, and it's like,

oh my gosh, I can't use the word grade again. And yeah. Yeah. So those are my three things. I just wanted to talk about this studio. in it's like oh my gosh I can't use the word grade again and yeah yeah so those are my three things just wanted to talk about this studio I wanted to talk about wordle and I want to talk about Johnny outlaw so thanks again for for being here how do people hit you up for business inquiries other than the church street thing like you want to plug scenario one more times or just Johnny out he doesn't I don't know. I think this is interesting too.

You met this guy through the dumb zone? Okay, so Scott over here reached out to me last time we were on the dumb zone, and he's a former professor of University of UTA. So he was a professor at UTA for how many years? Ten years? Nine years? And worked on a lot of data, and now he's recently started a new startup and now we're seeing if we can work together at Scenario and IOTA.

So Scott Hanson at IOTA. We're bringing people together. We're bringing people together. I was interested in your… Amy's going to get late. The consortium? Your business Wednesday from your consortium from last Wednesday. I was interested in maybe reaching out to those guys too.

Yeah, I think a couple people already have. And they're meeting next week for... it might even be this week but no I mean that's how those guys originally got together. I just think this is cool. Yeah me too. Well thanks thanks for having us. This is really really cool. Yeah this is cool. Like if somebody wanted to have a family... there's a huge backyard I don't know if you saw that. I feel like if somebody wanted to have like a family reunion here they almost yes and that's what the space is used for so we are pet friendly we're also event friendly so that's one thing that's rare on Airbnb yeah there's no parties no events we're very event

friendly so this clearly was set up this has been rented out several times for birthday parties for bachelor parties stuff like that but I forgot I'm glad I hadn't gone yet my last thing so I this is not this is now my third sit-in I love it. It's really fun. But, I have an idea for you that could be a potential revenue opportunity. That's right. Your email did indicate.

Yeah. So, I think the 690 is awesome. But, there's a lot that I still would love to talk about and just really talk more. But it's not comfortable with all these lights and we're all on camera and all these things. So I would like to propose to you the 420 Hangout. So 690 sit in and then you can optionally add on a 420 Hangout. So then you hang out afterwards for a couple of hours

with no cameras, no lights, we're just hanging out. It could also be Maverick, or no Mavericks, Cowboy Games on on let's do a 420 hangout session with the dumb zone have them come out and watch the cowboy game with us don't have to worry about setting up lights cameras nothing we're just that what I'm down for shit that what I'm down for so the first one I think I could make work but I mean I'm going to be the stick in the mud on that if it comes to it. But I do like the Business Wednesday set up because it's not cameras and stuff.

I think people tend to be a little more comfortable in that situation than if you're looking at yourself on camera and worried about that. Right. Right. So just a thought. Okay, no, we appreciate all thoughts. The 690 idea wasn't ours. Yeah, we...

Basically everything that's going well for any of this came from y'all. And I'm not really kidding. Yeah. Well... Well, thanks! Yeah. This, Blake... Has been fun.
