So subscribing on Patreon gets you four episodes per week. Oh my, what a bargain. Now, on to today's program.

The Dunza. Oh, wow. That is strong. Yeah. Can I hear what else you've written? Yeah, yeah. Okay, um, alright. My mom's so old, her social security number is two. What a c**t. Um, yeah, that sounds like it came out of, like, a joke book. Yeah, that's where I got it.

Is that not allowed? Not really. Ooh, what if I change the number two to 69? Yeah, that's where I got it. Is that not allowed? Not really. Ooh! What if I change the number two to 69? Not really the issue. 420? Yeah, we... I don't know any other funny numbers.

We're here, guys. Yeah, yeah. We made it through Business Wednesday. I never listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen I wanna listen

I wanna listen I wanna listen to the dumb talk It does. Yeah. And, uh... A lot of female characters, so I'm suspect. But once we get done with the double parade, I might check it out. Well, not so fast, Dallas Stars fans.

Right? It's a long battle. I'm going to listen to the dumb zone. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. So today is Tuesday. Excuse me. Thursday. I never listen.

The 30th of May. I'm going to listen. This is the dumb zone. I'm going to listen to the dumb zone. Yes, just a podcast. Show number 175. How about that? Seems like a lot.

And we are broadcasting live to tape from high atop my garage today. In very overcast Dallas, Texas. I'll be like Kevin Harland, Blake. And just any time I mention the city, I will then mention what recent weather we've had. Don't you need to throw in some deaths? And then tie it into the episode somehow. Donchus goes to the line for two, and seven people are dead in Valley View.

He hits the first. And we have a 690 sit-in today. A good listener. I believe this has been rescheduled like three or four times as well, or just moved around. Initially, we were going to be out somewhere, and then we were going to be at our Dallas studio. But it turns out we end up right here in my home without internet

until at least Tuesday. That's when, what is it, Frontier? Said they could get a guy out here Tuesday. Just on the automated thing that I did. And then so I took the half hour that it takes to try and find a number and hit zero and get an actual human. And of course, just dejection in my voice,

or at least in my head, when I hear the human, hello! Like, you know, it's... Just dejection in my voice, or at least in my head, when I hear the human, Hello! Like, you know, if you can get someone that's located in the Continental 50 or 48... There are a few things that make me more racist than customer service. And I don't know if you guys have noticed this. I think we talked about this a few months ago, but pizza places now. Chain pizza restaurants, you don't talk to somebody at the location any longer for real for real so if you're calling it and who calls

in an order though you're you're app guy so typically yes app or website but if you happen to be in the car like we were going to the lake this weekend and we were like it's a monsoon we don't have time to go to the grocery store the kids are freaking out let's call and it's just hello that my no yeah and it's like

that's not nearly as bad as trying to get something done or figured out at home maybe not but I got the sense that at home? Maybe not, but... I got the sense that wherever she was from,

they don't even eat pizza. So you're like, pepper... Yeah, not peppers. Pepperoni. It was difficult, but... Don't you hate their script, too? When you're complaining about something. Hey, I need someone out to fix my internet.

Oh, I understand how fixing your internet is a top priority and we will try to... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just repeat the last thing you said and explain how important it is to them. Yeah, yeah. And by the way, your name is not Lauren. And basically, it's not John.

The end of the story is I didn't get a change at all. All I did was waste another 30 or 40 minutes of my time. Yeah. When I should have just laid back and enjoyed it. Did they send you a text and then you reply thanks? Like you have a couple of other times? I have before to the automated text. And I think like karma.

I feel like the air knows that I'm doing that. Sure. 690 Sit-In is a man with two friends. He is AJ Sean. And now that name doesn't mean much to you. But that last name certainly means something to me. As I've heard. And what exactly does that mean to you, Dan?

Well, I'll just say the way Blake termed it, and then I'm going to fix it. He said, AJ is the son of your fat doctor. That's accurate. You're looking good. Hey, thanks, man. Yes, Dr. Shorn. I've been seeing him for many, many years.

He has put some kind of a digit. I don't know if it's a thumb or a finger, but he puts it right in the back of me. He'll switch them up. Okay. Will he? Yeah, I mean, a couple of takes. Yeah.

Yeah, he'll do that that And he'll be like Could you tell I went pinky this time No no no That's I want to say this What I love about my doctor Because we had the

The birth anniversary Or something of Patch Adams The other day Yeah My doctor is not Patch Adams My god no No nonsense He is

He did play a prank on you once What did he do? The 5G man. Yeah. What did he say? Remind me. Somebody. When you had COVID.

Pardon me. When you had COVID, he asked if you had a 5G cell phone. Okay. The old Woody Harrelson. Yeah. That's as close as he's ever got then to to do in a bit and and the funniest thing about it for me is uh my wife is like man dan speaks so highly about his doctor like i need a new gp because mine has been fort worth yeah which not gonna work you need something close yeah um but i don't want you to have the same doctor as me because

if I'm in poor health, I don't want you to know. Is it bad? Well, I don't think they share that information. They say they don't. I mean... Have you checked on Jake lately? The thing is... The haircut lady does. The haircut lady will tell me everything that Jake said about me and what

he's doing in life. I didn't know he was... He didn't even tell me that. And I'm in life. Vice versa. I didn't know he was – he didn't even tell me that. And I'm all mad then. Yeah. I don't want that. I already – I don't think – I went to your vet this morning.

You like the vet? I love the vet. Okay. Very good vet. Very big fans of – to be fair, they only remember Bodhi. Okay. But they're big fans of Bodhi. Yeah. Kip and Bodhi are are pretty superstars yeah pretty famous among the the dog community but yeah i don't i just don't want to

have the same like i think uh craig and gordon have the same doctor you just feel that's weird yeah just a little bit is it gay the same guy's finger is going in both of our butts? That doesn't bother me at all. The problem is, like, if I'm dying, I don't want you to know. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I mean, he seems pretty close to the vest. Again, he seems very logical.

This is what I hate about him. Mm-hmm. Because I'll be feeling real run down or something, and I'm like, dude, can I get a Z-Pack? He just calls you a pussy. He'll just be like, this thing will run through you. It's natural, and it's supposed to blah, blah, blah. I'm like, I don't want to hear that. I just want somebody to fix.

And I'll be like, oh, I've heard some people will get like a steroid shot. I mean, that's actually like a good doctor. That's what I mean. That's what I hate about him. Yeah. Is that he's great. He's logical. He's well I mean. That's what I hate about him. Yeah. Is that he's great. He's logical. He's well thought out.

And you go there and he'll be like, well, I've recently read this paper on blah, blah, blah. And they actually were saying, you know, years ago, but, you know, science, you develop things, you do tests, you learn. And now they say this. And I'm like, yeah, but I just want the thing. Give me a steroid shot. Yeah. I heard people feel great after a steroid shot. Like, he would never tell me to get that IV.

I don't think. But I do know. But he'd probably sell you drugs. Just sip some water. You've heard of the Z-Pak, right? Absolutely. He's not a fan of slinging those out. I know.

And Jake is like, oh, yeah, I called my doctor. They gave me one right. Over the phone. You have a sniffle. Yeah. And you're like, I got a Z-Pak. I feel great. I want to feel great.

Yeah. And he's like, well, no, nature, you're supposed to let it run through you, and it'll make you stronger. I'm like, yeah, whatever. I got a show to do. But the reason we called him my fat dog, Blake called him my fat dog. Sure. I mean, I've never seen the guy.

I haven't either. He's not really that out of shape, but he did once tell me, because I had high blood pressure, I should try losing some weight. And then I thought, this is like Bill Parcells telling Roy Williams to lose weight or something.

Yeah. Old reference. Ken Hitchcock. I can confirm in person, you do look a little more in shape than my dad. Okay. Not a lot. It's pretty significant. Is it? Yeah. But he's busy

reading articles. He's busy learning about stuff and vaccines and this and that. Science. Science. Yeah. Helping plan the next pandemic.

Yeah. Plandemic. Oh, man. No, I love him, man. And I think I knew him for three years before he let on that he knew who I was, which is really nobody, but you, but to some people. Well, if you want bits or drugs or anything like that, he's not your guy. That's unfortunate.

That checks out. I think he said your mom was a big listener to the ticket. She was. Still is a little bit, but the podcast has proven too big of a barrier for her. Oh, okay. That'll happen. And my dad probably doesn't know what a podcast is. What age are we looking at for mom?

About 70. They're both about 70. Yeah. That's why I feel good about saying whatever I want about my mom, because she will never listen. Let her rip. Can't figure it out. Yeah, because before, when we were on the radio, you were really holding back.

Yeah. I only love loving things. I got an email from a lady the other day. I guess this is a little bit of viewer mail. Her daughter is in my daughter's dance class. And she's like, yeah, I've seen you picking up your kid five, six times, and I just don't want to say anything. And she's a listener?

Yeah. All right. Her name is Melissa. She emailed me because she has some experience with Rocker B. What is that? The baseball place. That I was telling you guys about.

Is that where you're throwing? No. It's the place I was telling you guys about where they have massive travel tournaments. Oh, okay. The big hotel, the resorts. Apparently, they have, she says, four fields, two pools, a restaurant. It's pretty great because even the siblings have a blast. They sell alcohol, which always makes long baseball weekends better.

The fields are amazing. Yeah, because if you drive up to, I think there's a complex in McKinney or something we used to play at. And it's a beating because if you want to stay, first of all, that drive at 6 in the morning. So once Ava and I stayed in a hotel. Yeah, well, they have hotels apparently on the property. Right. Yeah. But no, we had to go down the street.

They're selling you a $20 margarita, $20 pizza. It's brilliant. They have a water park. Two of them, apparently. It's brilliant. Yeah,

because you don't want to bring, so we had to leave the little sister here. Exactly. But you could just bring the whole family. Exactly. Make a weekend

out of the weekend. Yeah. So, Blake, I was thinking this. I think I'm just going to go by myself. Why don't we go? We'll go to the water park together yeah um i mean we share the same doctor uh you say blake we have a rider for when we go out to do a 690 show right yeah we do do we have like a visitor rider oh like aj did you have

any idea of what to expect so i wondered about this because we started like a visitor rider? Ooh. Like, AJ, did you have any idea of what to expect? So I wondered about this because we started with the remote rider and then- Oh, you got one? Yeah. Logistics kind of changed things up and here we are. But I didn't get any instructions beyond park here, go in the garage. And? Well, that was all accurate.

And fire your shoes off. Fire the shoes off. I do warn people about that. You're right. Because a couple of people were taken off guard. And fire your shoes off. Fire the shoes off. I do warn people about that. You're right. Because, you know, a couple people were taken off guard. I don't have socks.

So I put that in heads up. That's why I do want to get E6 to make some dumb zone socks for us so we could just give you a pair of socks. Maybe like for anybody

who does join us. Or maybe like booties. Okay. Like whenever you go like look at a model home. They put the over-the-shoe thing? Yeah. Yeah. That's classy.

Yeah. I like it. For sure. That's what we're all about. I do wonder, though, because my wife is very pregnant and brought up, can I bring snacks? Is this BYO snacks? I told her, bring the snacks, but because of the no rider situation. You were unsure.

Unclear, yeah. Okay. So we needed a den rider. A den rider. All right. Do we need a separate one for pregnant people, though? Perhaps. You know how they get all crazy and emotional.

What if it happens while we're here? Like if she has a baby? We deliver it live on the thing. Baby? Yeah. Would we call your dad real quick? Could he do that? Ooh, I don't think he's the guy for that. Are you in medicine? I'm not. I'll call Jill Biden.

Was he upset about that? Did he try to push you towards the family biz? No. Is he highly disappointed in you? Yeah, I'm sure for a number of reasons. I mean, that's a high bar. Yeah. If your dad is a doctor.

That's why I did what I do because it's going to be pretty hard for either one of my kids to do less. You know? either one of my kids to do less. You know? Like if you achieve nothing, then your kids can feel like they have improved upon the family's legacy. Wow, you got a job with benefits? Fantastic.

So for one day only right here, I'm going to have two girls in the house. Oh, yeah. So we're going to do some roast twins things where they're going to review some music somebody sent us. And I have to pull it off today because – so Ava had a flight two days ago. She had gone to the Indy 500 with a friend. Wild.

It was supposed to arrive at 8.30 a.m. two days ago. Two days ago was when we had the big weather. Sure. Ocean weather. Ocean weather. Big weather. So, her flight got bumped around so she would have to fly

from Indianapolis to Chicago and then get a transfer and then get here at 8.30 p.m. And then she called me at about 7, 7.30, and said they just canceled the flight. No other flights out that night on any airlines I was looking,

and so I had to quickly book her a hotel. Luckily, it's Chicago O'Hare, so there was like a hotel right there. Can I call a timeout? Yeah. Shouldn't the airline have done that? Maybe, and maybe we can get reimbursed i would think so this has only happened to me once but but the one time that it did happen to me like

they handed me a uh two meal voucher and a hotel thing wow well i know she said there was a line of 100 people that might have and said, you know what? Don't go in that line. We just looked online. There's no flights tonight. Let me just get you this hotel real quick. Maybe a bit helicopter parent-y. But I thought, you know, let's help her out here.

I'm just sitting here by a computer. So I did that. I don't think it's helicopter parent-y because, like, I would do that for you, and you would do that for me. Yeah. Like, if you were just, like – Just trying to help somebody out. You're on the road.

Yeah, that's not – You could deal with it yourself, but, you know, why don't I just take one little thing off your plate? I don't think that's a big deal. So anyway, then her flights yesterday, she had to go to Pittsburgh, back to Pittsburgh for a few hours. And then it was just a weird routing system where she didn't get into like 7.30 last night. Sat on the runway at DFW from 6 to 7.30.

It was insane. Awful. So now I have the girls in the car together. It was me and the two girls as we're driving. And so as we're pulling back into the garage, Eden wanted to tell Ava about something she saw on my phone earlier. And I was rolling the whole trip just to see. But I just wanted to give you a little taste of the roast twins are back.

I'm worried. For 24 hours. I'm involved in this. Get your mind right. I was going to say, he has a podcast. Oh, okay. So, yes,

they were talking about the fact that now, I don't know why, they were just talking about my job. And then they said, oh, yeah, now he has a podcast.

Okay. They're talking about me as if I'm not there. Yeah. I was going to say, he has a podcast. Okay? They're talking about me as if I'm not there. I'm going to say he has a podcast. Which we love. No, we love. Keep doing it. Well, I just checked your location, Dad, and you're never at home anymore, so that's good.

That means you're probably getting money. No, it doesn't't it means he's being paid 600 to go do it at someone else's house yeah that's only 300 then oh blake probably gets a cent i saw his favorites tab on the phone app and he has it goes Kathy Jake Blake some random guy Eden Ava so he had to have moved us down Ava we got demoted Ava we got demoted Ava we got demoted If you wanna know why he never calls

If you wanna know why he never calls And there you have it That is actually insane, Dad. Is that not insane? Also, just anybody is on his favorites. It's like a million people long. So, yes, I'm getting roasted for the favorites list on my phone. Yeah, well, we're trying to run a company.

Because, yeah, Rob, Video Man is ahead of them random guy....is ahead of them on the list. That's why he doesn't call anymore. And if you did call, they don't want to talk to you. Yeah. So... I was afraid they had found out that we were sharing locations. They haven't, but I can't wait until they find out. But they share locations with a lot of their friends.

They'll sit there and tell me, oh, yeah, so-and-so is... As I've told you before, that's so weird to me. It's so weird to me. Which I would think would make me sad a little bit if my friends are doing... At their age, right now, I'd be happy that you were at the Mavs game and I wasn't or something. You're in this deal, I don't have to be it. But yeah, if you can

tell that all of your friends are at somebody's house for a party, and you're like, well, I'm at home, that would seem weird to me. But they're right. I do like this setup we have where Dan and I get $299.96. I get a cent. Right. We have a lot on today's program. We have golf. Boy, we do. You almost look like you're ready to go hit the links.

You look very nice today. Thank you. I had a graduation to attend to this morning. Go on. Nephew's graduation. From? Kindergarten. Shut up. I have to go tomorrow and she's not even graduating. Kindergarten? But I have to go. I don she's not even graduating. Kindergarten?

But I have to go. I don't think I'll be late. Did he already go to prom? No. He's just a six-year-old that got through kindergarten. Way to go. Who else has ever done that? At least high school graduation.

Some people don't graduate. Does anyone, like, not get a kindergarten GED eventually? Like, there's no, why do we congratulate people for everybody did something? Maybe the kid's a Sandy Hook. Oof.

That is true. AJ, why are you laughing so hard? Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, so I have to go tomorrow, and she's not even graduating. Why do you have to go then? How about you just pick her up? Some kids in her class are moving on.

We're leaving the school tomorrow. Tomorrow's her last day, but we have to go. Oh, so she won't be part of graduation? No. Ever? Well, I mean... Is it Montessori? Yes.

Okay. But she'll go to kindergarten at a GCISD school next year. Yeah. And then at that point, we will. But I have to go tomorrow. Yeah, that seems like a beating. Yeah, why? I don't fucking know, dude.

Well, they broke up their classes, I guess by A.E. I don't know. It was all kindergarten, but they had four different sections of the class. Valedictorian? I don't know. But it was split up Mercury. What? Venus.

Okay. Mars. Uranus. Really? I would have thought Jupiter. I would have thought anything besides Uranus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

But they were up, and now they're graduating class, Uranus. Uranus is probably the right way to say it. Is it? Because I thought they tried to do some marketing in the late 90s to try to say Uranus. Dr. Short doesn't say that. He says I need to get it. He says open it up. I'm not ready for Brooks'

kindergarten graduation. I'm a little bit of a softie when it comes to that and I'm not looking forward to it. They overdo it but I mean really all it is is it's just a money making opportunity. You know because you got to buy something. You got to buy a picture. You got to buy like a

metal or a plaque. I never thought of that. You're right. That's all it is. They did have merch set up at the front. Yes. It's just a merch boy. That's all it is. So we have golf today and obviously we have a lot of Mavs stuff for you. I got a hot mic I'd like to play you to.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Want to do it now? Sure. So this came down Tuesday of a... Are you going to tell the backstory? Yeah, of course. Okay.

I thought it was a big win for us. It was. Us? Yeah. Everything we do is a show. Us, Blake, and Jake, or us, all of us? The three of us. All right.

So Jake got mad before the show because a video got taken down or something, and he was very upset that someone would post something and then take it down so come to find out it was a sports announcer that had a hot mic during a girls high school state championship soccer game in kansas yeah and so awful announcing got a hold of the footage and then for some reason took it down well awful announcing didn't take it down i mean it was linked to like a vimeo and we've all been there before yeah yeah where you're like all right this gets put up get to that link quick you got to do it super quick like that's why we all do it the second you see something like this you're

like all right hijack now yeah but by the time i saw it it was two hours later and the vimeo said link not available well and this wasn, this wasn't in the article itself, but I could see, and I don't know, is it, it's not the hyperlink, but basically like, yeah, it's embedded, but on the Google page. Yeah. So when I Googled whatever it was, I could see that the Vimeo was uploaded by this account. And so then I went to Vimeo, and apparently you could message Vimeo accounts. It's just like YouTube. Well, it's a lot more difficult.

Okay. So create an account, message them, hey, we're the podcast, we'd love to get the video if you don't mind, whatever. It's a long shot. Really, really big long shot. What was the name of the account? Pups Mom. All right So it's just some lady.

Yeah. It's just some mom, some high school mom who has a Vimeo account called Pup's mom, 81. She has fur babies. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I really thought, yeah, nothing will ever come of this. But within 15 minutes, she'd responded to my email because I linked my email in there. I said, hey, love the video. She sent it to me. And so we have it. So Kansas State Championship girls soccer game. And this is distributed by NFHS,

which I already kind of have a problem with because they will just kind of scoop in and buy the rights to high school playoff games and try to make money off of it. And what that does is it kicks the schools out from videoing the games. So, for instance, if we're videoing Argyle games all year long, and then if NFHS comes in and says, we would like to buy the rights and charge people $17 to watch the game, now they're the only distributor that you can watch the game from.

The school gets money, though. Yeah, because the school gets a big pile of money. It's just not pure. Well, the product is not good. Their system sucks, the product is not good. Their system sucks and their announcer suck. They don't do work.

And yeah, we've kind of been screwed by them before. So, uh, the announcers, the only reason we're doing this part, partly. Um,

so they go to halftime and the announcer, uh, was kind of sick Of the way the first half was played Keep in mind Girls High school Soccer Okay

Okay He thinks his mic is Not on But unfortunately for him it is Oh my goodness. God, was that first half as ugly as I thought it was? Yes. Yes.

That game, that half had no flow whatsoever. See, because it's a high school game, it's an announcer. I just can't get what in the hell was that. But, uh... No, not... College games, I might. High school games, I won't. Yes. Actions have consequences.

It is my policy. It is beneath my dignity to call out high school players. I'll try to suddenly do it, but I'm not going to say this game blows. It's beneath him to make fun of high school girls' soccer. Beneath his dignity?

Yes. He continues. No, it's not. My mind kind of flicked the kill me now switch at about 30 minutes in. Not going to make fun of him, but would rather off himself. And then he gets into how he would do it.

And they're just going to keep kicking the damn ball out of bounds and missing passes all day. I might as well just go home. Oh, not by a damn sight. Oh, baby. Seriously. Yeah, send Newman down to Claremore. I just want to do a header off the top of the press box.

Unfortunately, it's too low. It would kill me. Okay. So, all right, the game sucks. And if we stop there, I don't know if we play it. However, he then starts checking out some of the moms. Oh, hell yeah. In the crowd.

Okay, so I was actually thinking, at least he's not saying how hot number 14 is. I was thinking the exact same thing. It's like, this is not that bad. He's just saying, like, this is a boring game. The girls suck. Probably boys or girls. Most PA announcers or

play-by-play guys in high school are like, at halftime, if you could hear them off mic, they'd be like, this sucks. Oh yeah, no, I was at plenty of games. Probably stopped short of, I'd rather do a header off the press box. Probably might not say, I would jump out of here and kill myself, except it's not high enough to kill me.

Yeah, you probably just wouldn't care. It's an effing high school game so um you could kind of hear there he's talking to somebody off mic and i don't know if it's producer or spotter whatever i love that toxic is playing in the back yes it's my favorite part um so i have to boost kind of what he says here because he's the one that Gets this guy in trouble And if we need to back up we can Okay the only bonus though How creepy is that?

Did he say fuck yeah? Yeah. Like breathlessly. He said the only bonus thing about high school girls soccer is the soccer moms. I'd like to criticize that, but I was thinking that might be Jake's only bonus to going to graduation tomorrow too. His graduating kindergarten mom. So creepy how he says it. The only stuff of high school soccer

goes on the moon. High school soccer moms. Fuck you. God, that's weird. His eyes are rolling back in his head. God, that's weird. He just went to a weird place. He continues.

Flow right up playing in the background. He continues. Fuck you. Up top, baby. Did we just high five? They just high five. Did we just high five that? Is that what that was?

He said, up top, baby. Wow, okay. Fuck you. Up top, baby. Wow, okay. Fuck you. Up top, baby. Baby? Gotta be the boy that's facing us. Yeah. See if she can tear the fuck off.

I can't see the legs, but I can feel the attitude from here. Yeah. This conversation never happened, by the way. We'd get in trouble. Oh, would you? I would have never had this conversation. I ain't even sitting in that chair. We've been around long enough.

We know what we're doing. Oh. Uh-huh. All right, all right. I think we got it all out of our system. We can put the mic live again. Let it rip. Back in the Shield mic live again. Let it rip. Back in the Shield Striker sucker.

Oh, yes. On the NFHS network. Toby Moore, your co-pilot here. It's McPherson 1, Rose Hill 1. So how'd they get that? What do you mean? A lady was rolling on it. It was just a lady rolling on it and she uploaded it?

Yeah. Pop Bomb? Yeah. Okay. So the engineer's at fault here. Yeah. The engineer, but is he the guy that was egging him on, saying, you look at those jugs?

The sound guy probably... Did he get in trouble? Because he said, we'd get in trouble? Because he said, we'd get in trouble if anybody found this out. I definitely saw an apology. The very beginning of the whole audio, he says, actions have consequences.

Yes. No, there's a lot of irony there. That plus the fact that he's like, we know what we're doing. Yeah, yeah. Come on. Fire that mic back up. You want to hear his apology?

Of course. I would like to apologize to the Rose Hill and McPherson schools, players, coaches, families, and communities for my remarks last Saturday. They were tasteless, stupid, and inexcusable. Those comments did not reflect the tremendous season and hard work both sides had during the year. I sincerely and deeply apologize for my tasteless and hurtful remarks and ask forgiveness from those that were hurt by my words.

Dan, you've been there. Oh, for sure. I'm thinking bingos, but he kind of navigated that pretty well. He didn't say if you were offended. Yeah, yeah. No, that was a good apology. I don't know. Is it

Norm and Artie who have the Bob... Damn it. What's the Brewers play-by-play guy's name? Bob Bucher. Is it them that have the Bob Bucher story? Oddly enough, I fell into a Norm Macdonald hole

This morning Before getting out of bed And was watching some videos And I saw Norm Macdonald Telling a Bob Bucher story For sure Yeah they just

They said they went And played golf with him And then they had him Up in the booth And that every single Like it's exactly Like it is in Major League They said that like

Every time the mic was off He's like Check out the tits on that one yeah yeah yeah yeah like that he was like overly doing it to try to impress them because he thought like these are the funny guys these are the vulgar guys and they were like bob chill out it's probably a lot more common than you think Fuck you. That is so gross. That is so gross. Can he replace Reggie Miller?

Oh, man. Can a fern replace Reggie Miller? That'd be a great broadcast. Yeah. I'm very excited for the Mavericks to move on. So that we can move on from Reggie Miller. Hopefully. I didn't really watch much Stars, did you?

A little bit. Hold on. I want you to give your Stars update. Okay. This will be our first piece of, but I'm only doing it because Jameson sent me something. Hockey, give me, give me, give me the hockey because I'm going to hockey. Okay. We're all tied up at two. We are.

Dallas v. Edmonton. They're taking that slight to their win song pretty seriously. Shiffy, what'd you do? He awakened the sleeping giants. I don't know. I don't know what you want me to say. I mean, I watched the first two periods of the game. They were down 4-2 after two, and then I went to sleep.

Yeah, and they lost 5-2, right? They did lose 5-2. It was 2-2 at the end of one, and then two pretty quick ones. They're in the back half of the second. I don't know. I mean, I think even though I'm not really that emotionally invested in the Stars, it would be so cool to have two teams in their league's final at the same time. Do you think the Stars are a bit disappointed that they're kind of sharing?

Because the Mavs, you know, in the ranking system, the Mavs are more popular. Yeah. Well, I mean, the question would really be like, are the business people disappointed, right? And I bet not because hockey has such a unique fan base. It's not that big, but it's rabid. So I would bet that, you know, the apocalypse could be happening. And if the Stars are in the league semifinal.

Those fans are cool. Yeah, but, I mean, it's adding more fans. Yeah, you're casual. Had there been no Mavs, if the Mavs aren't playing right now. Like last year. Potentially you have a bunch of fans that might, hey, I need to get a sports fix here. Yeah.

What do we got going on? The news is leading with just stars. They don't add the Mavs in. Right. Instead of throwing it to giggy voodoo at 5.58 a.m. with Big Rob. Right. Instead of saying Tyler Seguin. He's down there with goalie pads on.

He's standing on the ice. I mean, that's possible. What was he supposed to do if the Mavs lost? It was very confusing. There was a threat of a half-court shot. Yeah, I remember he brought his broom and he said, if anyone thinks I'm jinxing them, then... Get your pitchforks out.

I don't really know. He did jinx them, didn't he? Yeah, he did. It was a pretty incoherent report. But, you know, I mean, it goes back to something we talked about a couple years ago when that Chinese person ate that bat, which is we should have moved the calendar. Yeah, man. We had an opportunity.

You know, I brought you guys that academic article where a guy actually looked at, like, the revenues of every single sport, all four majors plus college football, and figured out, like, how can you optimize and maximize revenue and make it to where you don't have two and a half, three months where you just have baseball when it's 110 degrees. The NBA and the NHL should not be playing at the same time in the postseason, like completely concurrently. There could be some overlap, but not like... I would try to compete as little as possible with the NFL. Of course. Because you're going to get killed. Of course. But I think any time we've heard anything about this,

it's that NBA players don't want to lose their summer. Yeah. And that may be it. And I think that's ridiculous because... Go somewhere else. Yeah, it's kind of... Your summer is wherever you are for three months. Go to a great location.

Y'all make millions of dollars. All of you. The lowest paid players are very high paid nowadays. It's frustrating. Because, yeah, it doesn't make sense to push the NHL back. Why would that be more? Or very high paid nowadays. It's frustrating. Because, yeah, it doesn't make sense to push the NHL back. Why would that be more? Hockey be deeper into the summer.

Right. You're saying NBA start January? At least a month. A month. I love the NBA starting on Christmas Day. I thought what a great. That was cool. What a great tradition that could be. And they were like, oh, yeah, you do?

Okay, well, we like our vacation where it is. Yeah. Or shorten the season. But they say that'll never happen too. That's also a union thing in both sports, right? I mean, less games means less money means lower salary cap. It means less money for owners, but. Means less money for owners but it means less money for players too.

Exactly. Alright. Yeah. They F that up. So now the Mavs do lose if we slide into Mavs talk. Sure. And you know

this is a new age of basketball that we're in, where it seems like home court advantage doesn't really mean that much in the playoffs anymore. Yeah. As you've seen the Mavs kind of roll through, they haven't had home court yet. Sure. I mean, they have the incredibly rare chance to complete a gentleman's sweep on the road. That doesn't happen. What do you mean? You know, typically the higher seat is sweep.

Is a gentleman's sweep called 4-1? Yeah. Oh, okay. Like, just the idea that you can... I think I've always heard gentleman's sweep and didn't know what it meant. 4-1. Okay. But typically you're not getting...

I was like, does Jake know that they lost the other night? Mm-1. Okay. But typically you're not getting... I was like, does Jake know that they lost the other night? Okay. I thought you were the idiot, and it turns out I should look in that mirror. Hey, it happens. Yeah, no, I think you're right. I think the numbers bear that out.

But, don't you agree, so it's whatever it is, 150 and 0... 154. agree, so it's whatever it is, 150, you know. 154. Okay, so if you lead a series three games to none in the NBA, no team has ever lost. Yeah. But it used to be, you know, before the Mavs did it,

I think in the early 2000s, no eight seed had never lost or one seed had ever lost or maybe just one had or something. And then that's become more prevalent. Yes. It happened to San Antonio just a couple years after that. The fact that there's parity in the NBA now where different teams are going to win the title every year.

It's more NFL-ish. So I think it's going to happen. Yeah. I just don't think it's going to happen. Yeah. You know? I just don't think it's going to happen at them. It's like I said to you guys the other day. But it could because they've been very close. These games haven't been real blowouts.

Yeah, I wrote that in my D Magazine column the other day. I'll watch the inside the NBA stuff after every one of these games because usually they have a Mavs player up there. They've had Kyrie, they've had Luka, and they've had Gafford up there. Each time, all the analysts are like, it's over. Ernie Johnson each time is like, these games are really close. It's taking a heroic clutch effort from Kyrie and Luka each time to convert these into Mavericks wins. Like this is not like a blowout.

And he's kind of right. The problem is just being down 3-1, you're not beating the Mavericks four times in a row. I mean, the Mavericks haven't lost twice in a row. And forever. It's not like Golden State in their heyday. It was, you'd be close throughout, but then they'd kind of pull away in the fourth. Yeah.

These are close. They're not pulling away. They're pulling away with one minute left. Or less. Yeah. Yeah. But also, the Mavericks have not been lucky. That's what I was saying the other day.

It's not like they built a 3-0 lead because they were shooting 58% from three on an unsustainable clip. Maxie's hitting seven or eight threes a game. Like Utah. Yeah. It's not that. They're just better. They have the two best players. Yeah, but they lost their third best player.

And... No doubt about that. They also don't seem to... We have kind of thought we're going to get one hardaway game. and no doubt about that they also don't seem to you know we have kind of thought we're gonna get one Hardaway game and now he's not even in the rotation

man yeah Hardy leapfrogged him yeah Jaden Hardy is the new Tim Hardaway he was really good the other night by the way to kind of go nuts

yeah he's got irrational confidence for sure sparking at Ant yeah that was great but you need if you're gonna have a bad Kyrie night Yeah. Yeah. He's got irrational confidence for sure. Barking at Ant. Yeah, that was great. But you need, if you're going to have a bad Kyrie night,

which that was a bad Kyrie night. Dude. You're going to have to have PJ or Derek Jones. I don't know what he has to do to win MVP now. Sorry about that 50 bucks. I should have pulled the audio, but it was like three seconds. So I didn't. But that shoot around audio kind of bit him in the ass. What was it?

He said, this is their Super Bowl. It's just a regular game for us. Which, if anybody can say that, I would say it's him. He's been there. He was 14-0 in closeout games before that one tipped. Aw. That's what I was going to ask. Forgot about that.

Yeah, 14-1 now. Yeah, they had said that during the Oklahoma City series before closing out, that he had never lost a closeout game, and I was trying to figure out how. Well, because any time that he had been eliminated, he was down more than a game. Or he

didn't play. Okay, or he was injured with the Cavs? If it's 3-2 and you get beat, you've been eliminated, but you have not lost a closeout game because your team

was down. Your team didn't have a chance. Your team didn't have the closeout game. Correct. So never lost a game 7. Okay, so when it was 3-3 against the Golden State, they won. Okay. And like Golden State, I've even thought about that series because no team has ever come back from 3-0.

But a few teams have come back from 3-1, and that's what they're at now. So that certainly has to be the Minnesota mindset. Of course. And, I mean, Ant and Cat were great for the first time. I would be very frustrated if Carl Anthony Towns was one of

the best players on my team. Because he can do that any time he wants. But he's just, he has no confidence. He has no swag. Like he just looks like he's unsure of himself

at all times. Like can't Ant give him a little? Slice off 10% of his confidence. Yeah, exactly, right? He needs that. Yeah. Because he's a bit overly confident.

For sure. Yeah, and he plays so soft to be that big. So soft. And just his face is just always so cry face. He just looks like such a baby. Do you know the new lingo for that kind of demeanor? Huh? Zesty.

Oh, that's not new. It's not? No. Okay. Zesty means... Because I feel like new. It's not? No. Okay. Zesty means... Because I feel like that's a perfect word for him. No, no, no, no. That's like a term that...

Are we all cool here? It's a term that you use for black women. That they're zesty? Yeah, a little bit like... Carl Anthony Towns looks like he does a Z-snap At a waiter You know what I'm saying Whereas Anthony Edwards looks like

The baddest MF in the world Yeah He would be very frustrating There's no way they have Four of those in them And there's no way Ky have four of those in them. There's no way. And there's no way Kyrie has four bad games in him. I mean, hell, Luka almost pulled it out on his own.

But if you are going to lose, if you are going to come back from 3-0, your first win being still having home court. That helps. I know they don't have home court, but they have two home games left. Right. So I would think that's the team that's going to do it. Probably.

And, you know. Injury. Injury. That's why, certainly, the Mavs mindset has to be, man, we've got to take care of this tonight. Yeah, especially with Boston resting. Yeah, that will, you know, there will be a lot of wind in their sails if they don't. And home court doesn't mean that much,

so even though the Mavs are coming back home, it does seem to mean, I heard somebody, maybe it was Wendy talking about this at the beginning of the whole playoffs, just that role players tend to really play well at home. Are you subscribed to that theory? Yeah, that was a Phil Jackson thing. Okay. And I believe, you know, I haven't seen it updated in probably a decade,

but there was a lot of data that supported that for a long time. And then, like, you would hear players talk about it. A big part of it, honestly, is just the shooting backdrop. Yeah. You play 41 games a year on this backdrop, and if you're a decent but not great player, that means a lot. As does the locker room, sleeping in your own bed, that sort of thing. But in the playoffs, though, it comes down to, like,

do you have the best two players? And they do. That Kyrie pass with 30 seconds left when they were down four maybe, might have been 105-101, that was like the worst play I've ever seen him make. That's not going to happen twice. I'm trying to remember. He got doubled, and he threw like a left-hand pass

into the middle of the lane, and it just went to no one. Yeah, Kyrie had a bad game. Very bad. I mean, the worst game of the playoffs. Just bringing it back to splits just really quick, for role players, Derek Jones shoots 39% from three at home,

29% on the road. That's huge. It's huge. Dude. How about that Derek Jones play? He's so cool. How about that pass? Yeah.

Did you see it slowing down? He was outside the three-point arc when Luka threw it. Dude, how the hell did Luka know? I don't think he ever looked. He doesn't have to look. I don't think he ever saw where he was. That's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen is that play. Did you watch it a million times? Of course, yeah.

I also watched the 40-footer he took. Luka on a fast break. Luka is at the three-point arc when he threw it, right? Yeah, the other one. Yeah. Just throws this long pass. I mean, just you couldn't – He would have been the great quarterback, dude.

Like leading someone, just knowing exactly how fast they're going, putting it on a dime. Like he's doing all that while everything else is going on. I can't believe this Luka, man. He is – I can't believe the Mavs have him. Yeah. I mean, I feel the same way about Kyrie, but I guess you should probably say it about Luka

because they actually drafted him in a roundabout way. Yeah, I mean, Kyrie, though, I don't know. Luka has a bad game, and it's air quotes because he still had 28 and 15 and 9 or whatever. 21 shots. Yeah, Kyrie's bad game is kind of he can disappear for big stretches of a game where Luka will have an impact

in some way all the time. I think the reason that I have... It's probably that Luka's white and that he plays an extremely calculated version of basketball which in some ways reminds me of

Dirk. That's probably too easy. But it's more that Kyrie is just like a fucking hooper. And I don't know that the Mavericks outside of like Jason Terry have ever really had anybody like that, at least in my lifetime. Like you might be able to say Steve Nash, but just the way that Kyrie plays. And yes, we're kind of having to do like two games here. But just the way that Kyrie plays, and yes, we're kind of having to do like two games here.

I just think he plays in a way that doesn't fit the Mavericks to me at all. In the same way that it was really weird that Monte Ellis was like kind of – Monte Ellis is a great example. Like I loved watching Monte because I'm like, this is probably going to go poorly, but it's way different than watching Darren Collison or Devin Harris or even J.J. Barea. Like, good players. It's fun. It was amazing. It's super fun.

Yeah, it was amazing to have a guy in top five in drives. Yeah. Like, that's what we were obsessed with. Yeah. This guy will actually take it to the bucket. It feels like we're talking about a win. Tonight? No, I mean, like, we're doing our first show after they lost.

Oh, yeah. No, but I mean, yeah, he is still concerned just because I hate to get too excited. And especially right after that game three win, it was like, all right, man, Boston. Ooh, yeah. Like everybody. National media, you know. It's not going to happen, dude. I know.

Probably. Don't you want his confidence? Because I'm with you. I'm worried. Yeah, I don't like Jake confidence. That doesn't fit you. It does not, no. Except for the fact that I've proclaimed that I can throw 88 miles an hour on the inside

corner and strike Blake out, which, by the way, you're in trouble. Oh, my God. Yesterday was a big step. Oh, yeah? Yeah. You started throwing a real ball? What is the ETA on this?

I thought we said three months. I mean, I'm ready right now. Like, dressed as you are I don't care For kindergarten graduation Yes Wearing a collar shirt Doesn't matter You'll wear that

No Yeah I don't see it ever happening The place was Buzzing I don't even Gathered around He's 38

Yeah but he doesn't He hasn't thrown a lot So there's just no wear On the cuff On the cuff. He's hitting 58 miles an hour? Wow. But really quick, I did think it was really funny how Mahomes was there,

game three, it was awesome. Now it's time for the Cowboys. Let's let Micah and Osa in, and Trayvon, let's let them sit courtside. Yeah. Do you like the Micah narrative? Dude. Front runner Micah? I mean.

They have the receipts. He's been pictured wearing a Sixers jersey, a Boston jersey, named some more Lakers maybe? Definitely at least the first two and he blamed it on Ruben. Oh, Spurs was the other one.

What's Ruben? Oh, yeah, yeah. He did a Wemby. Wemby, yeah. Michael Ruben is the, one. What's Rubin? Oh, yeah, yeah. He did Wemby. Wemby, yeah. Michael Rubin is the, I believe he owns Fanatics. Anybody here know? Fanatics, it's a jersey. It's an apparel company.

Did you ever hear about how baseball was all pissed off about how their jerseys sucked at the start of this year? Oh, yeah. You could see through the pants. That's because of his jersey. Yes. Lettering. Yeah. I've ordered a couple things from them before. They suck. Okay. He sold his piece of the Sixers because

they became the official merchandise provider to the NBA. Have you ever seen the White Party? Oh yeah. Where all the celebrities go to the Hamptons and everybody wears white all the celebrities and Grant Williams somehow Grant Williams was there

but it's like Tom Brady and like Dez and Denzel Washington and they all go to this guy's house and everybody wears white really? and apparently Micah's good friends with him because of course

I wish I had a party like that Yeah. And apparently Micah's good friends with him. Because of course. I was at a party like that. Did you go to Twiggy's birthday party? I did not. Donovan's wife? No. I think that was called a black party. Well, I mean, there were not. Not for the reasons that you think.

Oh. I think everybody had to wear all black. Like it was mandatory. I've seen a picture of you and your wife and Bob and his wife there. We had to be in all black. Yeah. Because only one person wore all white. Donovan?

It was the birthday girl. Yeah. Twiggy. It was Donovan's wife's 40th? Yeah, I think it was 40. I thought it was weird you painted your face. Yeah, well, I mean, I go all out. If you invite me and you call it a black party.

But yeah, we've scrubbed those pictures from the internet. Just because of woke. Right. And Biden. The left. And Obama. Yeah. Did someone just say, hey, wait, I got something?

Yeah, it was Spalding's wedding. Ah, yeah, I saw that picture. God, Spalding looks so much like Jerry right now. Like, it kind of looks like he's in his 70s. Look at that picture with him and Witten. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at it. There you go. Take a look, AJ.

Is AJ's mic on? Yeah, he's on. We're on. That's a very, AJ. Is AJ's mic on? Yeah, he's on. We're on. That's a very attractive woman. Yeah, this woman's hot. No way. Yeah, is it worth marrying Spalding to get into that? I might.

Apparently the answer is yes. I might. He knows computer. You're in the billionaire club. Yeah, and it's weird too because this guy that's with Charlotte, that's like the AT&T guy. He's like some AT&T executive. So, I mean, that's billions.

My God. Because. That's what we never talk about. Because Spalding's dad is the guy, I'm pretty sure, who was cleaning the glasses. Yes. Shy. And he's out of the picture now. Yes.

This guy, AT&T guy, ostensibly Spalding's stepdad. I don't know if they're married, but... Is he hot? Of course. Of course. Is that the wedding sponsor? Maybe. Yeah, probably. They didn't know if they're married, but... Is he hot? Of course. Is that the wedding sponsor? Maybe. Yeah, probably.

They didn't even pay for their own wedding. Man, Lily was there. But I was thinking about that because we were at that dude's house the other day who has a wife that brings home all the money. Mm-hmm. Like, that is an underrated... We never...

How come we didn't grow up with... This is another thing where men don't get you know what women get right uh look she's pregnant that doesn't look hard why yeah why weren't we why weren't we sitting there i just got flipped off for the second time today but the whole the whole uh trying to marry somebody like that's never put in the calculation for dudes. No. Like, you should try to marry for money. Right. But somewhere,

it does get in ladies. I mean, look at the pregnant ladies. They said, I'll marry a doctor's son. Right. He's probably got a lot going. And then it turns out

it's AJ. But, you know. She fucked up. Yeah. But, you know, you want to,

like, look, look at the family, the bloodline, and all that. Right. And, yeah, I didn't do that. I didn't either, but when it, you know, you want to, like, look. Look at the family, the bloodline and all that. Right. And, yeah, I didn't do that.

I didn't either, but when it shows up, it's pretty good. Yeah, you didn't mean for it to happen. It just happened. Yeah. Same? Yes. My wife's a speech therapist, and when I was enlisted in the Marine Corps, she made a lot more money than I did.

Yeah. It was nice. How'd you do on that end? Me? Yeah. Is your wife a trust fund baby? Is she doing all right? Yeah, fine.

Nurse. I mean, how's her family, though? Oh. Is she going to be left a big giant pile? Whiskey Tango? She's from Halton. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Like I said, Whiskey Tango. You didn't look into that. I mean, mine's Louisiana, but it still played out pretty well. Still played out pretty well. I'm going to inherit some car washes. Oh, wait. I can't do viewer mail yet. I want to play a little audio at least.

From the game and maybe from the post game i don't know what you got from the post game am i down okay i want to plug this in but i got um a couple things from the game this is from the pre-game where remember the uh previous game game three we uh we found out that reggie miller doesn't know what a dagger means because it was like the third quarter and somebody hit a dagger three to trail by five. Yes. Pre-game. Reg, it's safe to say that Dallas is probably right now

playing their best basketball of the season. And yes, Coach Kidd, it is the best scoring backcourt duo ever. And they were up to their old tricks in game three. A combined 66 points and nine assists. And both teams were taking turns at throwing body blow daggers to Minnesota. There's a lot there. But, yeah. Yeah, body blows are not daggers.

He doesn't know what dagger means. First he starts saying Luca and Kyrie, but then he says teams. It's just Reggie. He also could give you a dirty sound. It's the best we've seen Towns play in the series. Yes. Foul, and it goes on Anderson. Reach around.

Reach around from the back. He picks his third right here. I mean, you've got to thank the guy, right? Yeah, if he's going to do that after the foul. Reach around from the back, yeah. It's really the only place you can do a reach around from. Yeah. You can't do a reach around from the front.

I suppose so. You can reach around someone else. You can't do a reach around from the front. I suppose so. You can reach around someone else. Okay. I mean, that is how Dr. Shorn will check me. He stands in front He wants to make eye contact.

Right. Holds up a mirror. Stares deep into my... What finger am I using? It's guess. Here, Blake gave me this lead. I didn't mark this at first but once i listened to it i had a different reason for liking it than blake this is ant mic'd up so why did you like it because we had talked about like we all the three of us hated sga

and coming into this series, we knew Anthony Edwards was good, but I didn't think he would annoy us that much. And even to right now, I don't think I hate him. No. And there's just a couple instances in this audio where he's being really cool to our guys.

And I thought, okay, I think I like him. Okay, see if you can pick that out. He's being cool to Maxie, right? Yes.

But I like it for the end. Yeah, I think I like him. Okay, see if you can pick that out. He's being cool to Maxie, right? Yes. But I like it for the end. Yeah, I figured. So Edwards off to a blistering 17-point start for Minnesota. Should I? To Maxie. Hey, hey. Oh, no. To Kyrie.

I got that from you, dog. Oh, oh, dog. So he goes up to Maxie first. He says, hey, how's your shoulder? And then he makes a move, gets to the rack, and then he goes to Kyrie and says, I got that from you. I love it. And then there's a jump ball, and there's people diving on the deck and he's just barking at people.

Barking? Like literal barking. Have you ever just – FGA? I feel like I've – He's a bulldog. Huh? He's a bulldog.

So they just bark at people? I would imagine. All right. I just thought he was trying to be funny. I didn't know. I mean, it is funny. But why would you just start barking? I mean, I suppose I did as a kid with the Cleveland Brown didn't know. I mean, it is funny. But why would you just start barking?

I mean, I suppose I did as a kid with the Cleveland Browns and the Dog Pound. You did. That's right. Yeah. Spit them up all on your face. And then here is one more. Kevin Harlan can't mention the word Dallas without then mentioning something that's happening locally in Dallas. Back in Dallas where we had some significant storms come through the city early this morning. Tornado warning going off.

Get the NBA app. With Ozzie in the background. Straight to the end read. Highlights and behind the scenes access. Download the NBA app powered by Microsoft. And there is some turbulence for the Timberwolves. A little tired. Towns three fouls.

Go Bears got three. Edwards has three. That's terrible. He's great. I think this is the one I want to play, but if not, we'll do it after the break. Cat obviously hadn't shot the ball well in this series until tonight. Actually, yeah, that is not it. A great shooter finally finding the rhythm

and how much of that was the looks that you guys gave him. Yeah, you got to give him credit. He was aggressive. He was, you know, posting up. He was driving the ball. He got some great looks at threes that he had missed early in the series that he knocked down. So, give him credit.

Switch things up on Luca, putting Ant on him. What impact do you think Ant's defense and that change had? I don't know if it changed anything. I like Kid when he's like, I don't want to answer this question. I don't know if it changed anything. So you think he was being coy there?

Of course, dude. The fact that Ant didn't have to chase Kyrie around the entire game. Like how much more energetic did he look in the fourth quarter? Okay, so that's what – okay. They're just putting Jaden McDaniels on Kyrie, and they're like letting Ant – I mean, maybe he'll back you down in the post. But outside of that, that's why he looks fresher. They should have done that from the start.

Yeah, but he was... You cannot have your best player guard Kyrie Irving. You cannot have your best offensive player guard Kyrie Irving. You can't. I took that as Ant didn't do anything special against Luka. Well, he didn't, but thenny was fresher on the offensive end. Yeah. Yeah, that's the way

at first I was hearing it is that the question was about Luka, but I think you're right. Yeah. It had to be about Anthony Edwards. Yeah. I keep wanting to say Anderson. It's Anthony Edwards.

That's why I go Ant. What was his name? Anthony Anderson. Is that the guy from The Shield? Black-ish. Yeah. But what was his name? Anthony Anderson. Is that the guy from The Shield? Blackish. Yeah. But what was his name, though?

Antoine? Antoine Rigodeau? No. The Shield. I do believe it might have been Antoine. We watched him get extremely drunk one day. Was he also in Harold and Kumar? The golf thing?

Yeah. With Larry the Cable Guy and Tim Brown. Really? Yeah. I. With Larry the Cable Guy and Tim Brown. Really? Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to remember that. He was like 10 feet away. Right by Romo and his black hat? Let's get Anthony Anderson on.

And they were like, Anthony won't be doing any media. Okay. He's got his fourth cocktail. Didn't stop Larry. No. He was great. Book him, Blake. Is that it for the postgame?

Yeah, there is one other thing, but I don't think I have it queued up so we can play it afterward. Okay. How about that? Well, then, yeah. You want to just break here? We'll play that right after.

We'll do some mail, stuff like that. Sure. Alrighty. One of the things we try to emphasize to our team is momentum is earned on a daily basis on a daily basis there's no such thing as this outside force of momentum you earn your momentum with what you do each and every day to keep that momentum going when the momentum is against you somehowway, you do what you need to do. You execute. You do your job the right way to stem the tide of momentum.

So we're very much focused on the day. What we need to do as players and coaches each and every day to get our jobs done, and that's what carries momentum. And stay focused on the task. When things come up, don't be distracted by them. Address them, solve them, move on, and get back to work. That's how you keep momentum alive. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

Give me one of these. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. The Dumb Zone. Died on this day in 2010.

Gary Coleman, whose catchphrase was? What are you talking about, Willis? What are you talking about, Willis? What are you talking about, Willis? I thought the whatcha maybe would have made it a little something else, so I just went really white with it. Excuse me, Willis. Might I inquire?

Pardon me. William? No, Puppet! You have one more Mavs thing? Yeah. So I think I want to do a bit where my child just reads Jason Kidd's responses. Because that's how it sounds to me. Coach, sometimes the best adjustments that you can make as a head coach is maybe getting their mind off basketball a little bit,

calling a film study, and then doing something else to maybe distract them or get their heads just in a different place. Is that maybe your mind? Maybe an ice cream social in the middle of the Western Conference finals. We have one effing day off. She is stating this as fact. Sometimes the best. Wait, don't you ask a question and let him say that? Yeah. She is stating this as fact. Sometimes the best...

Wait, don't you ask a question and let him say that? Yeah. If indeed that's his opinion, but she's now placing this opinion in his head that the best thing to do is to have a little film study and then, you know... Splash pad. Ice cream? Have a LAN party.

Have a sleepover. Sometimes the best adjustments that you can make as a head coach is maybe getting their mind off basketball. You know what? I would say the best adjustments you could make is identifying a weakness in their rotation and trying to take advantage of that. Maybe some matchups. I don't think the best adjustment you could make

is don't think about basketball. I'm't think the best adjustment you could make is like, don't think about basketball. I'm sorry. That's what you would say. I would kind of say think more about basketball. Sometimes the best adjustments that you can make as a head coach is maybe getting their mind off basketball a little bit, calling a film study, and then doing something else to maybe distract them or get their heads just in a different place.

Is that maybe your mindset going into Minnesota, or is it just not that time of the season? Oh, well, we're going to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Mavs, so I think that'll be something different in the sense of we'll have – we'll look at what we can do. It just isn't time to go for a bike ride or go to the park or the zoo. You're right. He does have a tell when he doesn't want to answer a question.

He goes, oh. Yeah. We've got to figure out how to slow these guys down. We've got a responsibility. We've got a job to do, and that's, you know, the final way to win in Minnesota. We can do that after the season, take our mind off of basketball. Right now, this is a great opportunity for us as a young team to go through this.

Anyways, yeah. He literally talks like my daughter. Like the pacing. And then maybe we could go to the zoo later. Anyways. Hey, everybody. It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. I just have a few quickies.

We have a couple birthdays, Uncle Hotmail. My name is Dave Short. Today is my 39th birthday. I love your show. I have a couple birthdays, Uncle Hotmail. My name is Dave Short. Today is my 39th birthday. I love your show. I have a birthday request. If Jake is willing. I'm willing. Okay.

Up front. He didn't even need to hear it. No. I would love him to repost one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen. It was a wedding photo where everyone was looking at the bride and groom except for Jake that is a great picture yeah that that's one of those things like I'm trying to think of like a a good analogy for it but everyone I know who's in that photo thinks it's really funny and loves it, but I hate it.

It's like making that wedding about you. 100%. And I didn't mean to do that at all. I just, you know, the photographer was like, be silly. And I'm just tall, so I stand out, you know? Like a long-necked dinosaur. Wait, I've seen that picture like at someone else's house, not even yours.

Oh, yeah. Don't you have a buddy that we've... Yeah, yeah. I believe other people have printed that out. Dan, today is my Moose Johnston birthday. Okay. Not sure my listener number, but I'm here now. That's what counts, right? My leaders are Doug Townsend and the NFL team that hires Nicky Glazer to roast every opponent city for their schedule reveal next year.

That would be good. That's a good idea. That's a great idea. That would be good. More Blake and more freak castaways. Less 690 guests. Hey, why don't you go fuck yourself? Whoa! Lake and more freak castaways. Less 690 guests. Hey, why don't you go fuck yourself? Whoa!

Man, he'd been sitting on that, hadn't he? Yeah, did you write this? How'd you know that was coming? He says they have giant houses and giant bags. Yeah, well, that's what I'm talking about, baby. That was awesome. From Robbie

in Louisiana. Of course, Doug's a zero. Yeah. Brandon writes, Hey, Dan, apparently mayor sports bets don't just stick to mayors. Why did he switch? Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe it's because he's reading it. I'm trying to overread it. Did somebody get to him? Didn't you guys say I say Mayer? We didn't say that. No. Somebody else did. You do, but we didn't bring it up.

Okay, Mayer sports bets. That's when we're talking about the apples. All right. That's, yeah. Like, the way I say Mayer bothers you enough you would talk behind my back? No. Okay.

No. Like the Apple thing I get. I don't think we've done that. If I'm all slobbery and slurping on. We haven't. No. I don't care. I don't care either.

So we just, this is Brandon. We just got an intercompany email that two VPs have bet that whichever team loses has That's terrible. Yeah. It's absolutely terrible. Yeah. It's absolutely terrible. Got a guy named Mike who not only wants us to come to Royce City. I don't even know where that is. It's out east. East?

Yeah. He said he has a buddy who has a mobile IV business that would come out to the den and give y'all a round pro bono. I'm kind of partial to my guy. Is that guy going bono? I think so. Okay. I think so.

What if we had dueling? Duke gets hydrated faster. Yeah, yeah. It's like a mayor bet. That's from Mike. And this email was entitled Blake versus cow. That's the subject line. Okay.

And how did this start? Because you were talking about... Somebody in... You had a news story. Somebody in Prosper or something saw a bobcat. 25-pound bobcat, we were alleging. And you guys thought that that bobcat would wipe the human population. Yeah.

You just said you could take out the bobcat, no problem. I expressed doubt as to whether I could. Yeah, reservations as to whether. And Blake said, of course we could, both of us. Yeah. reservations as to whether... And Blake said, of course we could. Both of us. And then, what, it devolved

into the... Somehow, can you... Oh, I think a bobcat could take down a cow. Clayton said that there was no way that I could take down a bobcat because he's seen a bobcat take down a cow. Which I thought was not... You said the cow is the Mike Tyson of the animal world. That's just not a ringing endorsement that you took something that you could tip over.

That group thread. Yeah. So Anna K. writes in. She's our resident vet. Sorry, dude. You most definitely aren't winning that one either. In fact, you might have a better chance with a bobcat. So she says you can't, that you

would lose to a cow. Okay. And joining us now to kind of be the final word on this, is our good friend, he's Bradley Folsom. He was once in the den. He was. And he is an expert.

He is an expert on animal fighting on animal fighting in fact he wrote a book called roman spectacle uh on the rio grande borderland animal fights at the turn of the century so he knows about animals taking down other animals. He's done the studies on humans being able to take down certain animals. He also sort of tangentially trained me for fight night. Why is that? He was there

for some of it. For some of the training? Yeah, his buddy, Ryan trained me. Okay. Yeah, so anyway, here's Bradley Folsom. I introduced... So, gentlemen, I have some live action right now. I told you last time about the meth heads and their dogs getting out. Well, right now, the meth heads' dogs are trying to attack the Spectrum guy,

so I'm dealing with that. So I'm not having as much attention devoted to this as I would normally like. But I believe the dog has been under control. So not only do I study animal fighting, but apparently I live it as well. So, yeah. No, that's literally going on right now. We can hear. As I'm doing this.

Yeah. Anyway, okay. So I think everything's under control. We can talk about Blake's potential fights now. You talk about it. Yeah. Let's start with the 25 pound Bobcat that Blake is laughing at. Come on, Brad.

Okay. So I think Blake could easily take out the Bobcat. I don't think there's any issue with that. I think, I looked this up, I found numerous different examples of rabid bobcats taking attacking humans

and in just about every instance the human was able to kill it. Like, I found a couple where there's actually a guy in Denton County that was attacked by one. He just tossed it away. I was trying to get that guy's number. I couldn't find it.

But he just threw it away, and it ended up running away. But, you know, when they're rabid, they'll actually continue to press on. And I found a 46-year-old grandmother, which is pretty young for a grandmother. Yeah, hell yeah. She was able to strangle one. I found a 62-year-old Vietnam vet who was able to strangle one. Can you imagine strangling? So is that the move?

So I think there's two different approaches he could take. The one approach is if you're not dealing with a rabid bobcat, they're probably not going to attack you anyway, so you probably just wait until it goes to sleep, and then you stomp on it. Wait until it goes to sleep? What do we have, all day here? Do you read to it?

That's what I'm saying. If we have a time limit and we get to the cow like i think the time limit's going to be uh more of a factor but if we're talking no time limit just wait for it go to sleep uh but uh if it's rabid or if we do have a time limit i think you just go in and you start choking it and again there's just tons of different examples of that. Again, it's basically not much bigger than a house cat. Have you guys ever seen one in person? Yeah. But I don't know. I mean, the biggest house cat you're going to find is 20 pounds, right?

Yeah. And so these bobcats, I think 30 pounds. I mean, there's probably a couple that are getting bigger than that. But the ones around here, I've seen a couple just out running. They're bigger than a house cat, but not a heck of a lot bigger. I doubt anybody could take out a house cat. Alright, well you've answered that one. We're going to take your answer as you're the expert. Begrudgingly. Yeah, let's move on to the cow situation. Yeah, so

I think that the big problem there is how do you uh kill the thing so obviously you're gonna have cows pretty big it's got a really thick skull there are stories about you know uh cows supposedly getting shot with 22s in the head and and not being able to take them down so you get in there with a cow. If it's a bull, I don't think, you know, it's probably game over, especially if it's an aggressive bull like one bred to fight. I think you're going to have a lot of issues there. But if it's just a cow, like a female cow, you know,

like whatever you find at a dairy farm, let's imagine we stick Blake into an octagon. He's there with the cow. The cow's not going to attack him. So he's got to attack the cow. And let's set the rules. He's got to kill this cow. He can't wait it out. Like he can't like starve it to death. That's not going to happen because the cow's a lot bigger than him. It's got a lot more fat than him. So that's not the approach. Well, what do we do then, okay? Well, can you punch a cow?

Can you kill it with kicks? Stuff like that. I actually looked this up. So there are a couple people that say that they've knocked out cows before. Like if you go online, you'll see in forums and stuff like that, my uncle heard of some guy that punched a cow or something. I don't know if I believe any of those. That doesn't sound very scientific there.

I only heard of a guy. So I think all that's BS. But as far as Anna Kay says you're not winning the bout with a cow, you're going to agree with her? Well, no, he's getting to how you would go about it. Yeah. So I want to get – so there's a couple people that say you can punch a cow and knock it out and kill it.

There's a guy named Masayama. He's a karate expert, like post-World War II Japan. He was trading these American GIs. And basically, he would demonstrate by going into a ring with a cow, and supposedly, he could punch the cow and kill it and whatever. He supposedly could karate chop off their horns. I don't think he's telling the truth with this. Like, there's a video you can find on YouTube of him demonstrating it,

but it conveniently cuts away whenever he's supposedly punching and killing the cow. So let's throw that one out. That probably didn't happen. Roberto Duran, who was a boxer in the 70s and 80s, he claims that he punched a horse and knocked a horse out. Possible there. Max Baer, who is the father of Big Dick Hunter. Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies.

He's here regularly on Big Dick Hunter's Wild West. What was that show called? Wild West. Yeah. Yeah. So he supposedly knocked out a cow, but again, this is, or yeah, knocked one out, but that's not proven. It's just sort of a he said, she said type thing.

But you definitely could get a cow on the ground. And, you know, if you talk to rodeo people, they have that bulldogging is a rodeo event if you're talking about a bull you can like use the the horns to sort of uh uh grip it and like uh whatever torque the neck around or whatever and bring it down that way yes you also can and this is uh a um technique that i my my big basic theory theory is that all animals have some weird evolutionary thing that you could take them down. Apparently, cows, if you bite their upper lip, they just fall apart. Like, I don't know if it's a bunch of nerve endings in it.

So if Blake was in there with a cow and he wanted to take it down, he could go in there and bite the cow's upper lip and it's going to sort of fall apart. The guy who developed this technique is a rodeo sort of pioneer called Bill Pickett. Okay, wait. So you're giving us so much information here now. Can I get a yes or no? I'm a little thrown off by the meth heads in my yard again and their dog getting out. I appreciate the thorough nature of his report.

But basically, a yes or no, Blake can take down a cow. You're saying Anna Kay doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. I just want to get that straight. Well, she's relying on science. I'm relying on facts. Oh, wow. She's relying on science. I'm relying on facts.

Oh, wow. Okay, so science brought us the vaccine, and facts brought us... I don't know. I didn't really think out that. Oh, okay. That's okay. Well, hey, man. You go... Listen, I love your book, and I know why you have so much bull info,

because this bull defeated a bear and a lion in the first two uh chapters of uh the book uh bradley folsom uh roman spectacle on the rio grande we're saying goodbye now yeah go good luck with those uh the dog well save the spectrum guy you probably know how to take these dogs down if you need to yeah i was hoping to do that on on uh while i was talking to you guys like i was hoping to do that while I was talking to you guys. I was hoping to either interview the Mephets or do one of my techniques with the dogs, but

unfortunately they got them before I could. Buy that book and get Bradley in a better neighborhood. That's what we want. Thank you for the support, Bradley. Your dead gay bodies. Talk to you guys later.

A couple more quick things. Actual mail that came to the den. We're in a den today. So this comes to us. Oh, damn it. I better read this other one. Oh, here it is. He says, hey, guys.

In honor of the train wreck that was the Ohio State commencement speech, I took it upon myself to order the bros something very special. Oh, no. So what these are is customized. Here you go. Pass them around. Customized bracelets. Okay.

From that idiot's website says this guy Andrew Plum he says in case the bracelets weren't gay enough this guy also sells question cards you can read everyday to each other to find your inspiration for each show

your subbies are sure to shoot through the roof once word gets out that you guys are doing this. Oh, he signs them. And it's like a dumb zone bracelet. Okay, yeah. So we can all wear those.

It's pretty cool. Kind of like Kip Dynamite wanted to do once in a while. Gold bracelets. I have one that just came in from Alex. He says, Good afternoon, Mr. Dan.

It's addressed to me as well. This is Day 2 DF. Number 1056. This is Alex Garrison. Okay. His son's birthday. Sixth birthday is today. He says, I got a six and a four-year-old, and

my wife and I have done a great job of not swearing around the kids, but I'm reaching an impasse. It's starting to stress me out. Who exactly will be the person that he learns his first swear word from? Wow. Wow. want to teach young Jamie his first swear word of your choosing. Wow. Well, I mean, we used to tell our kids, like, damn was a swear word.

Oh, stupid is a swear word. Yeah. I mean, I'm having problems with dumb, as I told you guys. She's like, so your job now is dumb zone? She's like, why is your job a bad word? That's a great question. Yeah. So is that enough if we just throw those out there,

or do we have to give them the S word? How about the C word on three? Why not just the N word? Let's go. Just open up Bad News Bears Happy birthday Jamie You little cunt Whoa And

Which is a term of endearment in England That's what I've heard Yeah I'd like to end with this This will be great Once we get to the studio He says Enclosed gift is presented without comment.

This is from Scott Stedman. Steady. He says he would like more Dan, Jake, Blake, and Camera Guy. Less people bitching about segments on Reddit. Is that happening?

I don't know. I think Reddit probably loves us. I mean, why wouldn't they? Reddit bitches about everything. Aren't we great? You are great. See? I feel good about this.

Anyways, he gives us this, presents it without comment. It was a big, long package. I opened it, and I will now show you guys. Oh, wow. Fantastic. Oh, wow. You got a street sign there. A street sign for Chisholm Trail. You're allowed to print that, huh?

Do you remember when you were a kid? This is an actual street sign. I was told that was like a felony. Yeah. I got put in the back of a cop car because of it. Really? Yeah. We were trying to steal the sign that says slow children at play.

Because you were slow? Couldn't run fast? Thought it was funny. Yeah. Yeah. I had one of those in front of my house. I'll slip that with those funny. I always wondered what I was supposed to do in that neighborhood when it said deaf child at play.

Yeah. Like I can't beep the horn if I see him, right? What do you do? Yeah, or maybe it means you can just lay on it. Because if you ever just wanted to get it out of your system, now's the time. He won't hear it. Jake, what or who are you grateful for? You.

I always love the... These are the cards of inspiration you're reading? What is your perfect day? Today. I always love drive like your kids live here. Because I think I've told you guys this before, but I always thought it was really funny to imagine Casey Anthony driving by that sign. Is that the lady that drowned her kids? She cut her up and put her in a trash bag in the back of her car

and then dumped it in the woods. Oh, okay. Who am I thinking of? Lori. Remember the one that drowned them in a lake and then there was a family that went to pay tribute to them and they drowned and they slipped into the lake and they all drowned that's not funny at all are you sure kind of something pretty funny about it at least ironic yeah all right lori something

lori marketing yes former chicago bull yeah anyway there's viewer mail for today All right. Lori something? Lori Marketing. Yes. Former Chicago Bull. Yeah. Anyway, there's viewer mail for today. These questions are so lame. It's just so presumptuous to be like, drive like your kids live here. What if I hate my kids? Yeah. For sure.

Did you consider that? After they're ripping you? Yeah. Boy, my kids are going to rip you later. How about golf? Awesome, yeah. How about golf? Daily golf?

Yeah, so this is kind of a slow drip, and the story is not even the same as it was yesterday, which yesterday we got the audio of number one world-ranked golfer Scotty Scheffler talking to the police in the back of a police car. And then a couple hours later, we got the story that all charges have been dropped, including the felony assault of a police officer. So this is over. Scheffler issued a statement saying,

big misunderstanding, miscommunication. But it was interesting that the, well, the body cam video of the actual officer, who hilariously is named Detective Gillis, I don't know why, this trips me up with Shane's last name. It's just funny to me to imagine Shane Gillis pulling over Scotty Scheffler. When he's in the back of the car after they've already detained him,

that cop did have his body cam on, and there's audio of that. So we'll play that first, and we can stop and start. As I'm pulling in here, the police officer up there told me to come the opposite way with the traffic and then come in. As I was pulling in, my window was down, and up there told me to come the opposite way with the traffic and then come in. And as I was pulling in, my window was down and the officer told me to stop. And as I was, I, first of all, I did not know that he was a police officer. I thought he was one of the security guards that was mistaken. Thing one, and maybe it's the main thing. No need to be talking right now. You're going to jail. If you're in the back of a cop car,

unless you're Blake, you're probably going to jail. If you're in the back of a cop car, unless you're Blake, you're probably going to jail. So providing these fill-in-the-gap narratives where he just said, I thought it was a security guard and not a cop, basically now you're saying that if it were a security guard, a civilian, then I can assault them.

If it were a cop, I wouldn't have done that. I would have acted differently. Exactly. Which it ended up working out for him, but you should never, ever say that. Yeah, but you do wonder, is a cop going to appreciate that? Like, hey man, I hold you in higher regard.

And that's the thing. Most of the time, whenever you're talking to the cops, you think you're being like, dude. I'm just talking to you. Yeah. And 100%, that's what Scheffler's thinking. He's like, dude, he's a cop. He's a bro. He's a guy. I would have respected him

way more like I respect you. But you can't say that. Because now it's on the record. Exactly. And as I was pulling by me, stop right there. Why does it matter if he's a security guard or a police officer? Because somebody's telling you to stop Yes, you're right

I should have stopped I did get a little bit impatient Because I'm quite late for my tea time And As he was reaching in the car He grabbed my shoulder and hit me Like Trying to get you to stop, right?

Yes Okay It seemed to be a little bit overaggressive Because the entrance was open Okay And I pulled a little bit because Igressive because the entrance was open. Okay. And I pulled a little bit because I was afraid I thought he was going to start hitting me, and I didn't know who he was. He didn't tell me he was a police officer.

All I saw was the yellow jacket. I didn't know what he was doing. I listened. Well, he's a police officer. So the thing is, he's wearing a uniform, okay? He also is wearing the same jacket that I have on that says police, okay? Also, on that, if someone's telling you to stop, no matter who it is, you don't keep going. So what happened is...

Which is horseshit. If I run up to your car and say stop, you don't have to stop. The police are supposed to identify themselves. But this guy, the police officer that he's talking to is trying to either revert or divert him back to the initial point of, you said... Yeah, and he's counterpointing him, too. Exactly. Like, hey...

You said that if it were a cop, you would have stopped. Yeah. Security guard, you wouldn't have. Yeah. And, unfortunately, Scotty is... He's like, look, he was wearing a police jacket, just like me. Yeah. So now it's an argument.

You kept going and you took him with you while he's a pedestrian, okay? So you took him with your car and drug him, okay? Yeah. Which is not a good thing, right? I'm very aware of that. To make it, so listen to me, to make it even worse, when he asked you to get out of the car, you refused to get out of the car. I still was not aware he was a police officer.

I was actually looking out the window of the car to try to find a police officer. I asked. Hold on a second. So is that also kind of a leading statement? He said you took him and you drug him. And he said, yes, sir. Yeah. And so that's kind of like I would guess admissible in court to say, hey, but you said right here that you did drag him.

Yeah. Which anybody who's seen the video would not term it that way. Yeah. He's just running alongside the car. I don't even know that this cop saw it. No, he probably just heard from Gillis. He's just hearing from the guy. Yes, he said he dragged me.

Yeah, he dragged me for 10, 15 feet or whatever. Look at my pants. $80. He was there. Believe me, sir. We're all wearing yellow vests so you can see us. If he knew he was a police officer, I would have been much more or less afraid. But panic kind of set in.

As you can see, I'm still shaking because I was afraid. I didn't know who he was. He didn't say, police, get out of the car. He just hit me with his flashlight and yelled, get out of the car. We're wearing a lot of police gears. That surely signifies that we're the police. And again, if you're a famous dude, you're like, yeah, I'm worried about

people like... Yeah. Randoms. Doing stuff to me. Yeah. I don't know who he is. He didn't identify himself. The police are supposed to say police. Yes. So if you don't, you're kind of in no man's land, in my opinion, if you're law enforcement. Like, you have to identify yourself.

That's what he's saying, that he's wearing the yellow jacket. That's not enough. A lot of people wear yellow jackets around golf tournaments. If I knew he was a police officer, I would have gone out of the car. I don't know what to tell you other than, I was a little bit panicked trying to get into the golf course, and now I don't know what to do. Let's go back to the first point, okay?

And see, again, this is what he wants to do. He wants to go back to you said that you thought that he was a security guard and that's why you could, quote, drag him. No matter what Scheffler says, this cop wants to take him back to the very first thing because that's where they can get him to admit what is essentially a felony. Let's go back to the first point, okay? No matter if you thought it was a police officer or not, somebody's, why are we wearing yellow vests? Why do you think we're wearing yellow vests?

So you can see us, right? Yes. So you can see us, and if somebody tells you to stop, if it's a traffic guard, security guard, anybody, that means you stop at that time and you don't keep going. Yes, sir. Okay, so stuff like this doesn't happen. Yes. Because you're actually hurting him. So he's thinking, I'm getting out of this.

Yeah. Because he's doing the yes, sir, yes, sir. He's giving a stern lecture. I'll just absorb this. Yes, sir. I'm taking the beating. And he's thinking, if I just keep agreeing and, yes, I was totally in the wrong, he's going to let me walk away because I'm Scotty Scheffler.

And because I'm being cool. Yeah, I'm being cool and he's certainly not going to end up making me wear an orange jumpsuit and taking my picture. Well, I'm still grounded. It's very, I'm still grounded. I apologize.

You did the whole thing. I said, yes, sir. Yeah. Anybody, that made you stop at that time and you don't keep going. Because this is, you know, the thought is, if I'm a jerk, then I'm going to be taken in. Right. And if I just refuse to answer questions, then they're definitely taking me in. So that's his calculation here is, I don't want to be taken in.

I want this behind me. I am real famous. So there's probably, you know, I'm probably not going to get it. So I'll just, I'll take my beating here behind the scenes and no one will ever know about this. But if he knew ahead of time,

no matter what you say here. You're going to jail either way. Then he would have probably just clammed up and not said a word. Are you guys aware of these lawyers that post how to talk to the cops? You've seen this? I have.

And it's shut the fuck up Friday, so review the script. What do you say when the cop first pulls you over? Why'd you pull me over? And when he keeps asking questions? I'm not discussing my day. And they ask more questions? Am I being detained or am I free to go? And if detained, what pulls you over? Why'd you pull me over? And when he keeps asking questions? I'm not discussing my day. And they ask more questions? Am I being detained or am I free to go? And if detained, what do you say?

I invoke the fifth. And then what do you do? You shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, Friday. Never answer questions when the cop's asked. Have safe holidays. Those guys post that like every holiday weekend. Okay. Yeah, I mean... Shut the fuck up, Friday. My mom was every holiday weekend. Okay. Yeah, I mean.

Shut the fuck up, Friday. My mom was a public defender and told me if I get pulled over or whatever, she's like, if you get in some trouble, don't say anything. Say you need a lawyer. Absolutely say it. And then she's like, if you've been drinking or if you haven't or whatever, don't take a breathalyzer. Well, I think she said if you've been drinking. whatever, don't take a breathalyzer. Well, I think she said if you've been drinking. Right.

Don't take a breathalyzer. She's like, they'll threaten you and they'll say they're going to take you down, but just don't take it. Yeah. Because if you don't take it. And you're going to deal with a lot more pain on the front end because you're going to jail. Right. That's the thing. He's trying to stay out of jail right there.

Yeah. And that's what you think. I can do that. Okay, I'll take the breathalyzer. This will keep me out of jail. Yeah. So you can see this, and if somebody tells you to stop, if it's a traffic guard, security guard, anybody, that means you stop at that time, and you don't keep going.

Sure. Okay? So stuff like this doesn't happen. Yes. Because you actually hurt him, and he's a police officer. Yes. He's got a huge scrape on his knee. He's getting checked by EMS.

Big bruise, so I don't know. But, for you right now... Does something bruise in that quick of a fashion, by the way? Absolutely not. Yeah. Definitely not. Scrape, maybe. Bruise, no way. But even saying that sounds weak. Yeah. It's a huge scrape. I was expecting

something worse. He's got a big strawberry. Yeah, like what did he do? Slide into second base? Big bruise, so I don't know. But for you right now, the main question is if you're going to jail, and it's up to him. That's where the video ends. He's an asshole, so you are.

Apparently, and yeah, I mean, if you read the guy's statement today, the cop, Gillis, he stood by everything he said. He's like, yeah, he drugged me. You know? They dropped the charges, right? They did drop the charges. The DA did drop the charges, yes. So is he kind of like upset or publicly upset with the DA?

The cop? Yeah. charges yes so is he kind of like upset or publicly upset with the da uh the cop yeah no but i think the person he's publicly upset with is scheffler's lawyer uh who uh held a press conference at the same time and could not be less scotty scheffler ish like if you listen to scheffler there he's like, I'm so sorry. Like, what do I need to do to make this right? His lawyer's not like that. And he's obviously having a historic career. Oh, yeah. I left that part up there just so you guys could hear, like, how unstable it is to have a— In a parking lot?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, first of all, we're— You got to do this first. Scotty said when this first happened, all our thoughts and condolences go out to the Mills family. The volunteer. Oh, that started the forest. Everybody forgets.

Yeah. This all started... Oh, someone died. A guy died. Oh, okay, yeah, okay. Condolences for the scraped knee? No. Okay, no.

That's the thing, is that through all this, people have forgotten, a person got hit by a shuttle bus and died. Yeah. Like, at 4 o'clock in the morning at Valhalla. But what was his world ranking? That's a good point. I like this part. Should the detectives have received more than counseling for the body cam given the discredited movie?

So that reporter asked, should the detective or deputy receive more than counseling? Because that's what they said, right? That's what he was going to get afterwards? And he had nuked the body cam, which is obviously against policy. Like, he had it off. So, yeah. Again, keep in mind, Scotty's been like, I just want this behind us.

I hold no ill will. Thoughts to the family. Lawyers are lawyers. Should the detectives have received more than counseling for the body cam given the miscarriage of the lawyer? Well, should they have received counseling for the body cam? No, more than that. Yeah, or the fact that a guy was falsely arrested.

No, it's how the police discipline other officers has obviously been an issue around the country and in Louisville especially for a number of years. Got to make the history play. Let's get a little George Floyd anniversary talk in here. I mean, he called it a false. What was the Louisville? Breonna Taylor? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, he called it a false arrest. Yeah. Like he straight up completely contradicted his client. Something I would know nothing about. No, you got to have a bulldog lawyer, man. For sure. And we do. We have more than one. For sure. But, you know, as we were talking to somebody about yesterday on text, the whole thing is just funny because it's like the first time that the entire elite white world was like, hey, cops, chill out a little bit. Yeah, geez, man.

What are you guys doing? You're getting a little over the top here. See, when I heard about this yesterday, I just thought this is why Jake would always say, this is why you would say when you get pulled over, you do not give up any information. Well, I mean, it worked out for Scotty, so maybe I'm wrong. No, because he's Scotty Scheffler. Yeah, but in general, though, I mean... But in general, I always give up a ton of information.

I'm like, oh, no, I was going to the store, or I'm late, and I was doing this, and then they write that ticket. So it doesn't help me. But you learned that from somebody who knows the legal system. I learned this largely from a cop who was my stepdad. Who was like, dude, I mean, they're trying to get everything out of you that they can. So if they say, why are you up at one in the morning?

That's none of your business. See, to me, that would be like, this guy is now going to find something, a busted taillight, and they're going to get in here and find the pot in my car or whatever. So that's also part of the problem, is that they'll

see the registration. It's easier to do what I'm talking about whenever you're actually trying to not build a case against yourself. Right? Like, if you have nothing to hide,

then I guess be cordial. But, I mean, we all used to drive around with a little weed on us, you know? But if you have nothing to hide, that's when you can be

the meanest. I mean, I guess it works both ways. Yeah, but I just... Like, if you absolutely know they can't get anything on me, then you can act like a jerk. And then he'll write you down. It's funny that even being...

The whole thing is, though, you think you might be able to get out of this ticket. By being cool. Yes. And a lot of times, if you look like me... That's just never going to happen. Somebody that just... You look at me and you want to punch me.

You're probably getting a ticket either way. Is it shocking to you guys that Scotty Scheffler did not have an understanding of how police operate? No, it's not. It's not at all. I have a feeling that that's the first time he's ever dealt with anything. Or security guards.

Even on our low level, I've dealt with this. I'll blow by this guy and they'll figure it out that I'm allowed back here. You know? Yeah. No. I'm very well aware of how you work. But imagine if I'm Scotty Scheffler and every single person has parted like the sea for me, you know, all my life. And especially at a golf tournament at this time of my career.

Yeah. Like, they're absolutely going to let Scotty Scheffler through. They'll let him kind of drive over that dead body. They'll figure that out. You know, that's called a bump in the road. Now, was he kind of BSing too? Because I thought this was like five in the morning. And he said,

I'm late for my tea time. Oh, he's got to hit balls. Yeah, I mean... He's just late for his routine, the way... Yeah. Because the other guys that got there around the same time

walked. Like, they parked and walked like a mile and a half. Okay, so this dead body is inconveniencing me. Step over, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. That was kind of News Junior. It was News Junior. Want to do News Senior? Yeah, if I can connect to your daughter's Wi-Fi. What does that mean? That means that... You see her...

Yeah, my hotspot's not working. Hit my hotspot, man. Thanks, man. Do you have it? Okay. Here's Jay. No Hit my hotspot, man. Thanks, man. Do you have it? Okay. No, I don't, actually. You don't see my hotspot? No.

All my links just died. So we can't do this? We could try. Oh, I can do... We can go out of order today if you want. It feels like this is a time where a guy who prints stuff out may have the upper hand on me because I had like six links. Okay, look at this problem I've been having with my iPhone.

Okay. Wi-Fi on. So I had to go to all my Eros and unplug them so that it wouldn't ever connect to it. Because my Wi-Fi is down, it's going to be down until Tuesday. Okay. Okay.

So I will do this. I see AJ's hotspot here. Yeah, join his. He'll give it up. Password is password. Did you say that? I'll hit... I'll turn that Wi-Fi off, and it will just automatically turn itself back on in the next five minutes. Like you can't keep the Wi-Fi off

on your phone. Or at least maybe it's this older phone I have. This is a small phone. This is a tiny little phone from four generations ago. Just a little baby phone. So sweet. You're not seeing my... Baby phone that could give you COVID, right? That's right.

Yeah. Start it right over there. So, yes, pursuant to the conversation we're having right now... Did it work? It's weird because I... I'm on his. Much more reliable. It's weird because your internet went out before it got really bad, right? Yeah, I got a bad box set up.

My effing internet, dude. I thought we had... It's so fast, though. It is so fast, but the box is outside, so when there's bad weather, it will just affect... Like, they won't wire it up. I told them, wire it up and put the hub up here. Like, ah, we can't do that.

Like, you can't do it, huh? So Mark Cuban says he wants it wired to this specific room, and you would say, no, Mark Cuban, there's no way to do it. Like, just tell me what you would charge to do it. Yeah. And I don't think they care what they would charge because it means an extra couple hours for them to be here, and they work for Frontier.

Right. And Frontier's going to pay them, like, two extra. They're them to be here, and they work for Frontier. Right. And Frontier's going to pay them like two extra. They're going to pay them those hours anyway. Either way. But if it was a very difficult job where you have to kind of drill a hole through brick and all this kind of stuff, well, we're going to have to just mount it out here. I need Karen.

I thought you had one. I know. I've got to get my wife to call them. They do say that most power, Encore says just about all people who lost power will have it back tomorrow or Saturday, but we topped like 600,000 in the Metroplex. Boy, that... We talked about this the other day. See, I don't feel that bad about...

It was like 200,000 just in Dallas County alone. Me not having Wi-Fi is an inconvenience, but that's all. I mean, we still can hotspot our phone to watch TV and to do whatever. But to not have power until Saturday that week. Yeah, no, it's like we talked about the other day. I don't know what you do with kids. I guess you find family. Didn't you say that's the way terrorists could attack us?

Like attack a grid. That's how they will going forward. Don't attack some... That's what I would do. Don't attack a stadium full of people. Like Bane. Or a symbol. Thank you.

The Twin Towers, it's symbolic. Thank you. Yeah, what are those symbols? But yes. Take out the power. Take out the power and society would devolve. In three days. Yeah.

We do have some travel news. This is an interesting travel racial intersection. Three black men are suing American Airlines, alleging discrimination and unfair removal from a plane after a white flight attendant complained about an unidentified passenger's body odor. Why did you just laugh? I didn't, actually.

I feel as if you did. That's what you heard. This happened on Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed yesterday. It's an incident that occurred back in January. Before the plane took off and shortly after the pilot announced and anticipated early arrival time, an American Airlines representative approached the plaintiffs individually

and ordered them off the plane without explanation. No way. In addition to the three plaintiffs, five other black male passengers were removed from the plane. Hmm. Kind of seems racial. Yeah.

One of the plaintiffs in the suit says, what happened to us was wrong. Imagine a flight attendant ordering every white person off a plane because of a complaint about one white person. No, they seem to have a solid case there. It just seems very blatant. Body odor?

Hey, you stink. Get off. Do I smell okay today? I didn't shower yesterday. What? I showered the day before. He's showering less. I don't like it. I got a head shave.

So I didn't want to shower that evening. That doesn't at all count. Yeah, no, I don't. They kind of grease your head up a little bit. But the rest of your body, though. Yeah, I didn't really exercise or anything. Do you know how much skin falls off of you? I was just sitting around.

It's disgusting. Don't you shower after a haircut? Me? Yeah. Typically. I do. Yeah. But I don't have any hair to shower. I got my head shaved. Yeah, but there's little pieces. Yeah, it's... I had to use someone different. So I walked in and Victoria's there, but there's pieces. I had to use someone

different. So I walked in and Victoria's there, but she wasn't on the website. She said she's had some medication where her hand will shake so she doesn't do the head shaves right now. That's a real thing. Some of the medication that I've taken

does make you have a handshake. So I get Luna. Luna's solid. They pass me off to Luna. Yeah, I've had Luna before. I've had my hair cut by... Whatever. Before. So I kind of came geared up. I thought she might be a talker.

And, you know, my second daughter, I wanted to name her Luna, and my wife vetoed it. She said kids would ridicule her and call her lunatic. You didn't tell her this, did you? So I was ready to roll with this fun story. Like, Luna, hey! I was kind of in a good mood, too. A little business Wednesday, and I was tired of all the meetings. Okie dokie, artichokie.

Yeah, no, I was feeling good. I'm like, I'm ready to talk today. And he's got the Kylie story ready to go too, just to compound it. Turns out Luna doesn't want to say a word. No. And I never spilled the story.

I just thought if she starts doing the talking I got something to talk to her about. Okay. But you know I don't want to talk. No. I do not want to do that. So I was actually, like I said, I was feeling good, something to talk to her about. Okay. But you know I don't want to talk. No. I do not want to do that. So I was actually, like I said, I was feeling good, ready to talk. But... It's for the best. It was great.

She grunted. She didn't say anything to me. Grunted? I don't think she asked me a question. Now, I didn't get the extras that Victoria will give my eyebrows a trim, which I really enjoy. I'm a wax guy. You know, I love the. Check it out.

I love when she holds the little comb and then they got the trimmer. Like, I can't do that myself. I can't figure that out. I tried it once. And I got like half the eyebrow and then part of the hair went in my eye. Either of you guys do wax? Never done it? I've never done anything.

I don't know any other dudes that do it. It's not just the unibrow. It's under. What if you didn't wax for like three months? It hurts. It's horrible. Would it look like Anthony Davis? It would be close. It would be close.

It would be close. It's not so much just the unibrow, though. Like I said, it's like underneath. I just look way more tired because it just like shades my eye. Okay. It's like having drapes on my eye. And usually when I go get my hair cut,

Victoria's like, oh, your hair's not that long. She's like, but your eyebrows are out of control. But I don't know if it's actually... I wonder what it costs just to go in and do that. 15 bucks. Really? You already know? I mean, I know what they add on.

Okay. Yeah. I've never done just that, but that is what they add on. So anyways, these black guys got taken off a plane. Oh yeah, that's too bad. Which is not funny. Maybe they'll get some money out of it. You've been laughing a lot at this story over here.

Well, I'm kind of wondering, was the smell described? It's not. No. Are you profiling with marijuana type? It's, no. You called it. What, that one would come back up? Yeah.

To let everybody in on what Blake's saying, yes, my wife just let the dog in because he's my dog and he goes nuts downstairs scratching at the door if we don't let him up. Okay. But Blake didn't really need to bring it up, did he? Yeah. I just saw the look in your eye. Yeah, I saw this coming. This play coming. So you're doing the show for...

And our final story, a 34-year-old man in North Texas, lineman, not Tyron Smith, but of the electrical nature, was killed working to restore power after the storms. That is a job that I would never do. Yeah. Simply. Among many jobs I would never do. I don't know that I could rank one higher.

Like, skyscraper window cleaner would be up there, but like, I'd rather be like a SWAT team member than be an electrical lineman. As far as like, how can I face these fears and these dangers? It just happens, dude.

Like, even a buddy of mine that I was with this past weekend who's a plumber, you know, water's probably not going to kill you, but he's just dealing with, like, the inner workings of homes

all the time, and it's like, that's pretty volatile. Because he'll be around that stuff. Yeah, and wet. So he wasn't grounded? Pretty volatile Because he'll be around That stuff Yeah And wet So he wasn't grounded? You don't know what that means

Nope There's your 130 news I told you that's what I'm calling it The Dumb Zone News Like And subscribe I don't know if I It was at 130

You can't be a rebel like that. The Down Zone presents Today in History. But you know... You let me do me. That's why Jake's Jake. Is it raining hard? Is that what that is?

It kind of sounds like it. You want me to go check the weather center? Hold on. All right, we're going to throw it over to Dan McDowell in the weather center. Let's see what he's got over there, folks. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Not a precip. Puddles. So if Trump disbands the... Who got ejected in a game? If Trump does disband the National Weather Service, could we put forth that Dan becomes the National Weatherman? Just by himself? Yeah.

Look out the window and just tell us what's happening. I told you when I worked in Southern Ohio, I had the WJAW Weather Center, which was a thermometer with the suction cup thing on the outside of the window. And I would just look at it. At the WJAW Weather Center, it's 55 degrees, and then you open the window and you put your hand out. And... You have a background in weather?

Yeah. But yeah, your rain gauge, bro, is going to be full. There's huge puddles out. I can't wait. It feels like a half-inch kind of day, you know? You know, you can go home and tell Brooks, hey, you know how I knew it was raining cats and dogs? Mm-hmm. Because I stepped in a poodle. You know how I knew it was raining cats and dogs?

Because I stepped in a poodle. Yeah. It's here for Dan! Everybody. Not today, chief. I'm telling you, that's a dad joke. That's going to be a winner. No, I knew it was a dad joke.

Oh, okay. Oh, what are we doing now? I was just kind of sitting around. It's Thursday, May 30th. And some things that happened on this day in history in 1989, a yee-boo situation. Okay? Mm-hmm.

Student protesters in Beijing erected a goddess of democracy statue in Tiananmen Square. Oh, cool. Yay. And then the Chinese government cracked down on that protest and destroyed the statue. Boo. Boo.

But that's pretty good to make a whole statue. I mean, imagine how long it took them to make that Dirk statue. And they just destroyed the statue? I mean, imagine how long it took him to make that Dirk statue. And they just destroyed the statue? I mean, that's not the worst thing that happened at TNF Square. On this day in 1992,

Minnesota twin Burt Bleileven became the second ever to win a game as a teenager and a 40-year-old. Herb Penach was the first. Herbie. Later, Mike Morgan would do it. And I thought, how come Nolan isn't in there?

That would have been my guess. He was 0-1 as a 19-year-old. Oh. What was J.D.? J.D., he won his first game when he was like 22. Okay, on this day in 2011, Jim Trestle. This is such a fraud. The Ohio State coach who had guided them to their first national title in 34 years

resigned amid NCAA violations from a scandal involving five players and the owner of a tattoo parlor. This sucks so bad. And he just kind of went away after that. And it says here, And I just wanted to ask you. Oh, my God. What does that mean? They haven't been to the top since.

No, no. They no longer recruit top players or top coaches. None of their players have tattoos either. Look at how that image is so sullied. I will not allow any son of mine to play for them. It is so funny that now college football players can make like $400,000 a year to just be on the team. College football players can make like 400 grand a year to just be on the team.

But a mere 13 years ago, a coach had to quit because some players gave jerseys for tattoos. That's what it was? Yeah. They were just like trading shirts and jerseys and like jackets to get free tattoos. So what? Well, I mean, at the time it it was a... What do they call it? Like, it was a... NCAA violation, whatever. Well, it was definitely an NCAA violation.

Because it's like you're getting paid. It was a goods and service swap, and they made him quit. That's incredible. And yeah, that is weird that... I wonder how old he was. That's probably... He was pretty old. A retirement age, anyway.

Yeah. On this day in 2015, Joe Biden's son, Beau Biden, died at age 46. Certainly his... Of brain cancer. His widow would never go on to find love. So what's that story? Wait, hold on. I'm hearing from an executive producer that she actually had sex with Bo's brother within a couple months.

Yep, that's the whole movie. But he was an upstanding citizen? No, I've actually seen him get whacked off by a Chinese lady's feet while he's smoking crack. Bo or his brother? His brother. The current one she's with now. She's not with him now okay he was doing crack and stuff oh yeah his iCloud got hacked you ever seen those videos I never showed you

the food video no so this would be like you die it's like doing this a brain cancer yeah which seems that seems particularly horrible I don't't know. And let's add this. Combat veteran. Oh, he was a combat veteran. Mm-hmm. Okay, so it's more like your brother died. Your dad is in the Senate. And you're like, I don't really have to do anything.

I'm going to be fine money-wise, but I am that called and committed to my country that I want to go to combat. And he did. He was a Marine, I believe. Damn. Sounds like a good dude. So she just went the other end. That's kind of like a player's manager than a hardcore, like, go to the other end of the spectrum. Dude, Biden's had, like,

do you know about, like, his life? Joe Biden? Yeah. Go on. do you know about like his life uh joe biden yeah go on like quite tragedy laden i'm pretty sure his first wife am i crazy here does anybody else know this story i'm pretty sure his first wife and his first kid were both killed in a car accident um like when he was in his 40s damn maybe 30s joe Joe Biden is not his first wife. Okay. Though she is a doctor. That's Dr. Biden, yeah. Yeah.

And then his son gets killed, or dies of brain cancer, and his other son is an addict. The Kemp Spin List says, for Beau Biden, his brother nailed his widow with Joe's approval? That's what they said.

So, Joe Kemp checks in with Chappie to make sure he's allowed to nail Kristen. That's what the pretty much. A written approval? We have a document? Yeah, Joe Biden's first wife

was a presidential proclamation. They used to show Trump holding those things up. Yeah, Joe Biden's first wife was 30. They used to show Trump holding those things up. Unscroll it. She died in a car crash in 1972 with their one-year-old daughter. Their two sons, Beau and Hunter, were critically injured but survived the incident. Was he 40 in 1972? That doesn't seem right.

She was 30, so... But... Yeah, he was probably 30. Damn. He's 80. He is old, yeah. Yeah. All right, well...

Anyways... Oh, that's too bad. Like I said, I've seen him getting whacked off with feet. On this day in 2014... What they kind of do, Dan, is they make like a little hole. Sorry. Yeah, it doesn't... There's nothing ever appealing to me about that.

Although... You've got the right idea right there, though. Maybe the... What you're doing right there is the right idea. Perhaps the discomfort that she has to deal with. That's what you like? Yeah, yeah. Okay.

But it seems difficult and... But if you're into the foot, some people are into the foot. Anybody? Aren't any ladies into feet? Why would they be? Like into dudes' feet? Yeah. It always feels like it's a male-driven.

My wife likes cutting my toenails. Like she likes pimple popping. She likes that kind of stuff. I wish she hadn't have said that. I'm with you, Blake. But if I need toenail clipping, I'll ask her, and she'll be like, yeah. Like I had her do it on her birthday. I was like, hey, here's something for you.

I've been waiting a month. I've been waiting, yeah. Let's see. Where am I? Oh, two things on this day in 2014. What was more impactful? The Mets became the first team to ever have three players appear in a game whose last name began with a lowercase d.

DeGrom. DeArno. And... I don't know. Matt DenDecker. Never would have got that. What's my other choice? For somehow...

This doesn't make sense. Oh, this threw off the Jersey Makers, Majestic at the time. Because they didn't make lowercase letters, so they had to have an uppercase P upside down. Okay. Yeah, that's a great note. Also on this day in 2014, Gangnam Style became the first YouTube video to surpass 2 billion views. That's got to be it.

Yeah. That's got to be bigger than the triple Ds. Wait, speaking of interesting notes, I had one this morning that I meant to be bigger than the triple D's. Wait, speaking of interesting notes, I had one this morning that I meant to bring up to you. Are we not taken by song the way that we used to be like 10 years ago? With like a... What does a fox say? Yeah, yeah.

Boy, that was big. It feels so quaint now. That happened right around the fall because I remember that became a Halloween thing. Yeah, and it was... What I remember was Mavs post-game shows. So I was at like 40 Mavs games a year and that was just... That was the song? Oh my God.

And they did a Dirk remix. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Cash did that and it was just once a night. I had to hear that. What was your other note? So I'm going to call this an interesting sports note. And it started this morning with, as I'm doing my routine in bed, which is some words with friends.

By the way, does anybody play these word games? You? No, I don't. Wordle? Wordle? The Daily Wordle? Of course. Larry David had an episode on Wordle.

It was funny. But I get worried because I don't call my mom every day. I try to call her every week. But if she hasn't played a word in words for three days, I'm concerned about her. Assume she's dead. Because she just, you know, she lives in an apartment by herself and stuff. What is she doing all day? I don't know that I assume she's dead, but I just hope she's okay.

But if she is dead, I have instructed my family not to call me in the middle of the night. Wait till the morning. I don't need to know at 3 in the morning. I've told my kids that for sure. So I hope... Like I've told them, even if one of them dies. I don't want to hear about it. I just need a full night's sleep

to then deal with it in the morning. To be the best man you can be. Why would you want to know at 4 a.m.? Especially if it's somebody in Ohio that died. What are you going to do at 4 a.m.? Look... Offer... And you're not coming to me Especially if it's somebody in Ohio that died. What are you going to do at 4 a.m.? Look. And you're not coming to me for offering good feelings and talk. No, no, no.

And see, I think that's a big difference right there. Is that everything you're saying is logical. I feel like if you call me the moment you know what happens, I can help. You'll start crying with them? Yeah. And I'll be like, what? Why, now? Some breath work together. Now? You're calling me now? Yeah. Some box breathing. Like there is somebody better.

4-4-4-4-4. 2-3-4. There's somebody better you can call. Okay, so now I'm doing my morning routine. And I get to the Immaculate Grid after Wordle. And so I'm going through Immaculate Grid. And I get to the Immaculate Grid after Wordle. And so I'm going through Immaculate Grid. I never get them all. It's a bad game. It should be called three. They should give you three strikes or something. But you get one wrong and now the whole thing, your day is over. So I'm on the basketball portion and I never get these right. It had, you know, it'll match a thing with a team. So it said, it said played for

only one team. So if you get the Mavs on there, you can pick Dirk, right? You just have to have a name that played for only one team. And there's a cheat you can do by just knowing somebody who's on the current roster. Oh, by the way, a fun thing to do is if it says first round draft pick, and it says Atlanta Hawks, you can put Luca and we'll say yes, you're right. Okay. That, a fun thing to do is if it says first round draft pick and it says Atlanta Hawks, you can put Luka and we'll say yes, you're right. Okay. That is a fun thing to do. It's so great. So now it has played for only one team and Houston Rockets was my...

Yao Ming. Yao Ming's a great one, which I should have gone with. You could go for a current Houston Rocket. I don't know if I know anyone who plays for the Houston Rockets. Okay. So I went with what I also thought was a great one, Hakeem Olajuwon.

No. You know this? Yeah. I don't remember, but there's an account that will just every day post like guys in jerseys you forgot they played in. Okay, I've seen that. Yeah.

Recently, I saw Randy Moss on Tennessee. Yeah, or like Dion on the Ravens. Okay, I remember that one. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, we were close to Dion. Probably because he left here, went to Washington. Yeah. But yes, Randy Moss was on the Titans. I came to Los Angeles, so I go to basketball because I got it wrong.

I'm like, wait, the game got it wrong. Yes. I was pretty sure the game's algorithm was wrong. So I went to basketballreference.com. So apparently he was traded for a first-round draft pick and something to Toronto. That's the one. He signed a three-year deal with Toronto and played like 30 games and never played again. Averaged like seven points a game.

Isn't that sad? It is sad. How would you trade Hakeem Olajuwon? That's why it's so great they brought Zeke back. Like, what if you traded Dirk the very last... Okay, can I give you the funniest one I've ever seen? Do you know what other teams Patrick Ewing played for? I'm right now shocked that he didn't play...

I thought it was only the Knicks. 15 seasons with the Knicks. I'm shocked that he didn't play. I thought it was only the Knicks. 15 seasons with the Knicks. He played for the Supersonics and for the Magic. Really? Yeah, at age 38 and 39.

He started four games for the Magic, but he played 60. That's the one I saw the other day. He's coming off the bench for the Magic? Yes, at 39. Was that Shaq's backup? Probably. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that account posted Patrick Ewing in a Magic jersey the other day and I was like, what the fuck?

In Seattle? Yeah. Yeah, that's really weird, man. I suppose others might find it really weird if they ever saw Emmitt Smith in the Arizona Cardinals. Sure. Jersey. That made me unreasonably upset as a child.

Or as a teen, I guess. Especially that, like, Jerry would let that happen, but then make sure that Romo didn't do it. Called Dick Ebersole. Was Romo at Spalding's wedding? I didn't see him in the picture, but... Isn't it crazy if he wasn't? Yeah, he probably was. And on this day in 2017,

Kathy Griffin appeared in a brief video holding what looked like President Trump's bloody severed head. She ended up apologizing. Mm-hmm. Saying that she had gone way too far. I've never really

found her funny. Hot at all? She had a lot of work done. Yeah, and I don't care about that. She's just, I don't know. They say she's very popular with the gay. I have heard that too.

Like what, her and Andy Dick used to tour together and just be very popular with the gay. Well, Andy Dick is gay. Are you sure? Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure he was like on Norm's podcast talking about being gay. Yeah, like. I think he's bi. You think?

Yeah. That's the word around town. Chicks. And wieners too, he says. Do you find it weird? Because I've watched what does it say he's got kids how does someone who's gay have kids

because they're bi you can also adopt I thought your sperm didn't work if you were gay I'm not even going to dignify that with a response and you and you know I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. And you know I'm right.

Let's see. Former Maverick Harrison Barnes is 32. I think we can build around this guy. Jake was stoked on Harrison Barnes. Okay, Bob. He's a good... Jake was stoked on Harrison Byrne. Okay, Bob. He's a good player that they gave away for nothing. Like, if you go back and look at some of the stuff that they screwed up, as bad as they screwed it up, it's kind of crazy that they're good now.

Like, they gave him away for nothing. Just to get his money? Cap space, yeah, which they did nothing with other than JaVale McGee two years later. That was a weird, Luca, end of the rookie year, get rid of DeAndre Jordan, get rid of Wesley Matthews, get rid of Harrison Barnes, and just basically say, hey, this kid is the next one. And we're going to build around him. I found out about that at a Chili's at LAX. About the Harrison Barnes trade? The signing.

Because that's when I found out that Golden State had acquired Kevin Durant. It was July 4th weekend. Okay, that's when everybody had way too much money under their cap. And the Mavs ended up saying, let's spend it on Harrison Barnes.

Exactly right. Evan Eschmeyer And the Mavs ended up saying, let's spend it on Harrison Barnes. Exactly right. Evan Eschmeyer, former Mav, is 49. Don't know if you remember him at all. Of course. You don't? No. Oh, man. He's an NBA champion. No? I think this is the second time

you've done this. Oh, really? I always thought of him as the knockoff Cardinal. I don't think he was in 2011. No, definitely not 2011. Just because my daughter could name the entire 2011 roster. Yeah, you're right. He was on the early 2000s teams. Manny Ramirez is 52.

Had a midget. Pedro Martinez had a midget. All right, well, that was racist. Manny did not. Steven Tobolowsky is 73. Good friend of mine. Yep. Needle Nose Ned.

Denton's own. Colm, C-O-L-M, Manny is 71. Don't know it. I know him from Hell on Wheels. If you searched his name, you would know it. He was also in Con Air. He's kind of like classic 90s actor guy. Why is Pedro Martinez holding this midget?

That was Pedro's midget during their run to the first title, I believe. Yeah, he was in the locker room all the time and stuff. Nelson De La Rosa? He's got the beer goggles on. He's holding them up. And they would call him Pedro's mission. They were like good friends or something. Yeah, this guy's a great character actor.

Yeah. Ted McGinley is 66. Also a great character actor. Also a friend of the show. No. No, I'm thinking of John C. Who's this guy?

John McGinley. This guy is the Jump the Shark guy. I think I erroneously told you who the Jump the Shark guy was. This guy was on Married with Children. The Handsome Neighbor. He was on Happy Days. Got it.

Have you ever heard of Happy Days, Blake? Have I heard of it? Sorry, he's way too focused on this little person right now. But this was like common knowledge that they would just have a midget in the clubhouse? Yes, during that run because I think that's the team that was down 3-0. Speaking of teams down 3-0. And they might have been the first or one of the first in all of sports to ever come back from 3-0 down. I think the first baseball team ever.

That's the way I remember it. They store him in a locker? How did that work? No, just kind of like in his handbag. In his bat bag. Yeah. This headline says, Nelson De La Rosa, Pedro's tiny good luck charm dies. R.I.P.

He was around, like, all the time. I cannot believe this. That's great. He was two foot four. Did he ever have love? Almost certainly. Yeah. Oh, certainly.

I said almost certainly, yeah. Don't you think David Ortiz bought him a hooker or something? No, no, no. Did he ever have love, not a paid-for love? What is paid for? We're all paying for it, probably, in some way. Sure. CeeLo Green is 49.

Is that CeeLo Green? And Jake the Snake Roberts is 69. Damn. Apparently, that's a wrestler. He was a big deal. The snake bit him like 50 times. So, what was his bit? I don't know anything about it.

He had a python that he would bring to the ring. His name was Jake Roberts and he had a snake. Okay. That's pretty much the bit. I don't know anything about it. He had a python that he would bring to the ring. His name was Jake Roberts and he had a snake. Okay. That's pretty much the bit. But there's a documentary about him. That's so Dan the man, right? Were you the snake? Did anyone ever call you that? I mean, Jake Plummer? Yeah.

Was Jake the snake? Definitely. But as I've told you before, the fact that my last name rhymed with Wimp. Jake Wimp? That was a little bit more accessible. It also rhymes with hemp. I mean, I was thinking pimp. And you're a world-class partier.

You know, but wimp. Born on the stand now dead, Mel Blanc. He was the voice of Bugs Bunny. Yeah. I've done a lot more too Porky the Pig And Bob Evans The restaurant owner The first job I ever had was at Bob Evans restaurant

That's where you learned about tampons That's right The tampon box in the ladies room That's learning about tampons Yeah I also learned about shaving without shaving cream Because that's when the manager handed me the razor. Yeah. When I hadn't shaved.

And I said, well, yeah, but you got to have shaving cream. He's like, you want this job? And I said, well, yeah. So then I went in and shaved. Awesome. And kind of just straightened up. I just remember that manager straightened me up. Yeah, yeah.

I know what you mean. I didn't want to do anything. I wanted to dick around. I wanted to slack. You would think a person like the person you know now would not respond well to a manager like that. But back then, I was like, yes, sir. Yeah, I had a manager at Albertsons.

She was probably, I was like 16, 17. She was probably 60, and she looked like a gremlin. And I respected the hell out of her because she was just like really mean. And I was like, all alright, let's lock it up. Let's lock it down. Like that's what you needed. Yeah. But in hindsight, I should have been like, you're 60

and you make $37,000 a year and you smoke two packs a day. Like you're obviously not doing that well. Why do I respect you? But that's the time. Yeah. Sorry. Died on this day in 1778, Voltaire. The French philosopher.

And on this day in 1912, Wilbur Wright. Of the flight? He invented flying with his brother. Prior to 1903, birds would just walk and Orville and Wilbur Wright AJ liked that one yeah he got me not as much as the racist airline story

no I didn't think he would recover from that or Sandy Hook that wasn't a joke. Do you live around here, AJ? I grew up around here, but we're in Las Colinas now. Pretty close. Close, yeah.

Have you ever been to Hugo's? Yes. Legit. Yes, right down the street. Chapino. Good spot. Did you want to introduce your wife or anything? Yes, I do.

She's hanging back there. She would love to be on microphone. Okay, she doesn't want to be on microphone, but my wife, Elise, did purchase this. Oh, this is like a little gift for you? Yeah, I graduated a few weeks ago, got my MBA. Nice. So this is my gift. And who's your buddy?

This is Jeff. He is married to my MBA. Nice. So this is my gift. And who's your buddy? This is Jeff. He is married to my cousin. Okay, I heard him talking during the break about how it was difficult to explain to his wife what he was doing today. Yeah. She might not be as familiar with the whole setup. So I'm going to some guy's house. All right. But it's his garage.

Yeah, it's above the garage. So second kid, are you just kind of like, eh, whatever? So I'm glad you brought that up. Your wife is seven months pregnant. Yes. And I did not just guess. She said that. I didn't make an assessment.

That's okay. Looking at how huge she is. No, she walked in, and I immediately put my hand on her belly. Yeah. Close your eyes. And then I got down low, and I immediately... I'm fine with that as well. I put my hand on her belly. Yeah. Close your eyes. And then I got down low and I started rubbing it. Has anyone ever done that? Oh, my.

We had last weekend. Okay. That seems like an incredible invasion of... It really does. And I don't know what to do. I'm up here, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

What do you do? It's not uncommon. Okay. Yes. We are at closing remarks time. Do you know that?'s not uncommon. Okay. Yes. We are at closing remarks time. Do you know that? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

So, Jake, to your point about kid number two, kid number one is Benjamin Henry. He's named after, he's got two grandfathers' names. That's a strong name. Mm-hmm. No name for kid number two, so I'm just throwing it out here. You guys, you got any ideas? Is this a boy or a girl? It's a boy.

I should have said that. Well, we can go with Pat. Pat works for anything. Jacob Daniel. Jacob Daniel. We can go with JD. JD? Because you go AJ.

Just don't put a Y in it. No, we're not. That's really all that I ask you. Okay. No, like Riker? No. No. Would she go for Luca?

That's the dog because I couldn't get Luca as the child. Okay. Kyrie? Well, that has a Y. Yeah. Yeah. Bodhi? No, but it is funny, though.

Like, second kid, like the first kid, we probably went, like, we had like a year of just like talking about it and this and that. And the second kid, it was just like. Well, either way, it's not going to be the first choice of what you thought was a cool name for your second kid. Right. Yeah. No, you're a knockoff.

Especially if it's the same gender. Yeah, yeah. But the second one, I don't know if you guys are going through this. It's just kind of like, it's almost like getting an oil change. Yeah. What we did is we waited. We were just like, all right, whatever. We'll just go to the hospital and we'll leave a couple days later.

We had to have the kid and then we waited for her. We call her her now because we waited for her to, what gender does she want to identify with? She was a they be. And then we named her. That's a real thing, Dan. A baby? I've never heard that. They're called babies.

Because no matter what they just say, I'm going to wait until the baby can make its own decision. I'm going to wait until they're 25. I swear to God. What corner of this world do I know about? Yeah, like cis and all that. I swear to God. They're 25. I swear to God. What quarter of this world...

Do I know about? Yeah, like cis and all that. That's not a thing. Be careful with your daughters, home. Making fun of these terms. They're woke. You think they're like totally into it? Yeah.

Ask them what they think about Palestine. Okay. All that and more on tomorrow. Just a little homework for you guys if you want to name my kid we can't figure it out so okay

poll question that's there now he goes you have to wait to see what it looks like maybe you said Benjamin is on

the top five Aggie names and that really hurt my feelings I just know no child of mine I know a lot of Ben's yeah who are Aggies You said Benjamin is on the top five Aggie names, and that really hurt my feelings. I just know a lot of... No child of mine. I know a lot of Bins who are Aggies. Yeah.

Somewhat checks out? Well, I hadn't thought of it until you said it, but it checks out. But I still think... If it's a top 10 white name, it's a top 10 Aggie name. Yeah, you're right about that. So you can't go with your dad's name. And I think being called Benji is cool. Wife is shaking her head on the dad's name. Ben is cool. What's your dad's name. And I think being named, I think being called Benji is cool. Wife is shaking her head

on the dad's name. Ben is cool. What's your dad's name? Fat doctor? Keith. Oh. Yeah, he can't name a kid Keith. Described on Family Guy

as the ugliest name in the English language. I don't know about that, but... Look at this baby. Name him Keith. Are we still doing the show? I think so. Yeah, we're closing remarks.

I'm still rolling. I got two more important thoughts. Okay. Number one. Get the iPhone notes out. That's right. I've heard you on Slim Wallet talk. Oh, nice.

Get the little MagSafe wallet. Okay. It's a two-in-one. You never have to have a back pocket thing. I like that. Keep it in your pocket all the time. It's not carrying any cash, but who does? Who does?

Whatever happened to magnets erased computers? Remember that bit? Yeah, definitely as a kid. But now you can put one on the back of your phone and everybody's like, yeah, cool. Hard drives are different now. It's called MacSafe. He said that very confidently. I'm not going to push back.

And if you did, I'd be really fucked. My last point, and I'm sorry to bring up something negative here. You don't say the letter L in the word wolf. I don't know if that's ever been... Wolf? I say wolf. You say wolf.

Wolf. But I speak... I'm great, right? You're doing great. speak i'm great right you're doing great mayor sandwich you're doing great or everything that you say has been brought to your attention already so i say like i say timber wolves timber wolves have you noticed this uh no i just love how specific it is timber wolves well he says it several times in episode right now because we're in the series.

Timberwolves. What a great observation. 100%. Like your wife knows, oh my gosh, Jake must have been talking about Timberwolves again today. He's just too fired up. Yeah, yeah. Just kicking the dog. And then, you know, finally... You said that was it?

Well, just one more little one. I had a couple of strategy notes on the IDF's offensive into... Okay, yeah. That's going to be the end of the episode there for... Hey, I love you guys. Tell your dad I said... I don't know if you want to... Should I tell dad I said anything or no?
