Welcome to the first edition of the Dumb Zone Weekly Wrap-Up. You may remember this in previous iterations in a different form, but the idea is the same. One long episode to catch you up on the week that was in the Dumb Zone. I'm not married to the name, the Dumb Zone Weekly Wrap-Up, so like with many things in this podcast, send me ideas of something cool we could call this. Also, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on what this should be. Should we do what we've done before, just top segments from the week, or is there something else we could do? Obviously, we can't record another episode and probably can't get extra commentary like movies used to do, which they should probably

bring back. Those were always pretty cool. But if there's something in production or editing the show that I could do, that would be a good idea. I'm all ears. Email me, blake at nopuppetproductions.com. Yes, how about that? We have our own email now. All right, big week of programming from the Dumb Zone this week. We had two shows at a new downtown studio, one featuring Danny Bayless, had a well-received sit-in on Tuesday as people responded well to 690 Megan, and we were joined by Dominic Robinson on his birthday on Friday. I'm going to try to build this like a normal show, open at the beginning and then some sports, today in Twitter, then viewer mail, and then close out with news and today in history with some one-offs that I want to make sure you caught sprinkled in. So let us begin on Tuesday, June 18th with 690 Megan as we begin brainstorming Dan's

digitization as well as make a special announcement about summer travel plans. We do have a road trip planned, which we'll get to in a moment, right after we introduce today's. So if we are doing a show high atop my garage, it's probably because we have a 690 sit-in. Yeah. Or the people at our studio downtown Dallas are having fire alarm testing. But today it's a sit-in. And the person whose name is on the official form.

In fact, she's on the couch, so I guess this makes her very important. She is Megan Hopkins. Hello. She's a lady. She's a lady. She identifies as a lady. Today, I identify as a woman. Right.

Made her go open door over here. Yeah, that's the rules. No, you found out there aren't very few rules up here. This is like the Outback Steakhouse. There are no rules. It is just right. Just right. Yeah.

That's exactly right. This is everything I had hoped it'd be and more. It's very inviting. He spent a very long time curating this affect. Yeah. It's very inviting. He spent a very long time curating this effort. Yeah. It's giving cozy. That didn't even feel forced. It wasn't.

Unfortunately, it wasn't. It's got a great vibe. Although I have a thing going on. Remember I was telling you yesterday? And we're going to get to the maps. What did you see? What did we hear? What's your column called?

Don't make fun of me. I'm not. I really, I'm trying to promote your column. Your little column. We need extra income. I like writing. It's engaging. What can I do?

I can't get any extra income. I'm the one guy that's, you know, Rob's setting up things elsewhere. Blake's got his lucrative girls' basketball announcing career. I thought you were going to launch Dan's Digitization or something. Yeah, your tech company, your AV company. No, where I can use my digits to the best of my ability. That would also work. Yeah, for you.

You get to choose. Do you want to be fingered? Or do you want to have your old tapes turned into MP4s? Right, either way. That's what you can expect. There's a tier pricing. Would you just give Dan's

digitization a chance to earn your business? I was telling you, there is a weird thing with the den. This is high atop my garage. And so it's my place. This is obviously my room. In fact, there's the Dirk poster that I wanted to hang up in the living room,

but I couldn't. The Mavs 2011 championship poster. Mavs. Anyway, so for instance, I guess this was for Father's Day, although she gave it to me a week prior. Anyway So for instance For I think I guess this was for Father's Day Although she gave it to me A week prior

My wife gives me this poster That's over there It's a Wonder Woman poster Oh wow I didn't even notice that So she's like I go why? Like she

I unwrapped it She like made a big deal out of it. She wanted an excited me. Then I'm me. I go, okay. She goes, well, they were throwing this away at my job. Then I thought, you liked Wonder Woman when you were a kid, right? You liked Linda Carter.

I'm like, okay. I'm just like, go on. I'm just not really feeling it yet. She's like, you know, and then I thought you could hang this up in your office and stuff. And I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, there's not much room up there. So behind my back, she came up here and

hung it up. Okay. She knows the passcode. And now, and then I go down one day, and she's like, do you see it? Do you see it? I'm like, I, thank you, yes, I'm so happy. But now, I can't, like, I wanted to take it down.

And I can't. You can't, no. Because she came up, she's like, but I did this for you. I was thinking of you. And how, you know, little Dan used to... Basically what you're describing is that your wife cares about you and likes you and wanted to do something nice for you and you are emotionally

incapable of accepting that. I accept that it's happening. But I think if I gave her something and she had like one area that's hers, only hers, like this is just for you to your little area, your little office, would I go hang stuff up in there going, hey, I think you'll probably like this? And then smile like, do you? What if you also prefaced it with, hey, I found this in the garbage. That's basically it, yeah.

That is also true. You know what you could have done? You could have said, I'm more of a Marvel guy. That's your bit. I can't steal that. Yes, you can. It's everybody's bit. Is it?

Yeah, it's for the people. Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit weird Is it? Yeah, it's for the people. Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit weird, but we have been talking Wonder Woman lately. You were gone. What were we talking about?

I don't remember how it came up, but somebody then said, oh, my thing was I didn't know what she does. Oh yeah, she's into bondage and stuff.

Well, her, the creator of the show was a huge feminist, but was also really into bondage. So he wanted to create a female character who was able to apparently force the truth out of people, which I think is probably part of bondage, but also gave her a whip and a lasso

a lasso yeah there you go I don't know if she had a whip but she did look bondage-y she did like now that you say that

yeah it makes a lot of sense now yeah but like my point Blake was just like okay I don't I mean Superman flies he's from another planet Batman's parents were killed

although I'm a little still a little bit fuzzy on Batman he kicks ass and stuff but yeah how did he get all that the Wonder Woman lore Batman's parents were killed, although I'm still a little bit fuzzy on Batman. He kicks ass and stuff, but... Yeah, how did he get all that stuff? The Wonder Woman lore just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Yeah, how did that ever happen? And it was just like, well...

She's got to have big, giant cans. We understand that. That's a very important part of the... It definitely helps. Yeah. Fighting crime. Because it kind of throws you off. If you're a criminal. You're like,

now all of a sudden, wait, am I excited or am I scared? Yep. It's exactly like what I've always told you that... Like if a cop turns you on, that'd be terrible. I've seen videos, but this is not a problem that you would ever have to confront, but if you hear something

in your house late at night being naked, definitely a plus. Okay, then it helps me stopping intruders because I do sleep in the raw. Yeah, because if you walk into your kitchen and someone is attempting a break-in, a B&E if you will, and they see your little tiny dick just out there, they're definitely going to at least pause long enough to where you may have a chance to... What if you had a big giant hog?

Would that be better? I think also a pause. I think really just the sight of an in-the-wild penis. Kind of a nod like Winston Wolfe with the coffee. Very good. Congrats, bruv. Anyway, so Megan Hopkins brought people here. And a bunch of food.

I did. Potbelly Run on the way here, and I brought three fellow DFs. My husband, Mark. Give it up for Mark, everybody. Way to put up with Megan Hopkins. Thank you. I have to ask. Is he Mark Hopkins?

He's Mark Hopkins. He is. Mark Hopkins so you're owned by him you changed your name because sure so this was his this was a joint birthday Father's Day anniversary gift is that cool or lame because I didn't get him anything else this was the gift I thought it was cool

better than that no Wonder Woman poster. Better than a forced poster. Yeah, I mean, I think once you get to this age, what are you really supposed to... Like I said, I got a pair of flip-flops. That was cool. Yeah.

But outside of that, you know... Yeah. It should be that. Maybe a nice special way to wake up. Something like that. Okay. Or a visit to your fourth wake up, something like that. Or a visit to your fourth or fifth favorite podcast.

Yeah. At least top five. Yeah. At least top five. But it was also a gift for me, right? Because then I got to join. Right. So that's a little cheating if you're on board with the show.

But that's perfect. Yeah. That is a perfect gift. I would agree. Thank you. Thank you. So then we have Hector. But that's perfect. Yeah. That is a perfect gift. I would agree. Thank you. Thank you. So then we have Hector. I know Hector.

Hey, Hector, what type of shirt is that? B-Y-L-T, built, right? Is that what you got going? We do have a mic back there if you want to actually use that. It's the only type of shirts I own, Dan. Built? I'm open for business.

Yeah. So when you see one in the wild. Also, preferred T-shirt of one Dak Prescott. Do they have the little pocket or no? No pocket. I think it's more the material that does it for me. The material is just... Butter.

Top notch. I can't remember my shirt type. Will you look at the back of it, Blake? What kind of shirt do I have? And then introduce the other guy. Yeah, this is Tony. Hi, Tony. Tony and Mark grew up best friends.

True Classic. True Classic. I've purchased True Classic before Solid T. Yeah, they have like a... Solid T, a three-pack, four-pack. They have an eight-pack of black. I think everyone knows you bought the eight-pack of black. Yeah, love it. pack of black. I think everyone knows you bought the eight pack of black. Yeah.

Love it. So are you guys excited to see him wearing the exact same thing that he's worn for probably the last two years I've known him? It's exactly how I pictured it. Most days. Four out of five days. Yeah. Occasionally there is business to be done, which would call in the business shorts or business jeans.

Business jeans. The Kyrie shirt, which I thought was going to get worn out here in the next couple weeks. God, I'm so happy. I don't have to do the TB12. So happy. It would have been great, though. For who? For all of us.

For the Mavs. We'd be ripped for the Mavs. We'd be legends. Maybe. I don't know. That feels like you overshot the mark. Yeah, sure. I'm uncomfortable with the fact

that in the last 24 hours you've worked in both tail and trim. Two terms I had not heard anyone use in a long time. Well, and Gash is hanging out there, so just stay tuned. Yep. We might try to work that in today. Yep.

We have good news and bad news, Megan Hopkins. Lay it on me. Well, the bad news, I think everyone knows. Mav's lost, and we're going to talk about that. Yeah. At length. I're going to talk about that. Yeah. At length. I'll tell you what, too. Like, I'll listen to a bunch of different NBA podcasts,

and I'll listen to Locked On sometimes. Read D Magazine. Of course I read that. That's the first thing I do after a game. But this morning, I was like, oh, let me just check out Windy. After a game. And. But this morning. I was like. Oh let me just check out Windy.

Like I don't want to hear him now. Because it's all about. Oh the Celtics. And this. And Tatum. And the journey. And I don't. I can't listen to any of it.

Like I didn't watch any of the ceremony. Did you? I pretty much only consumed it via clips this morning. I did not watch it live. I went to bed with two minutes left in the game. So whatever OMAX did, you're going to have to tell me about it later. I don't want to hear Wendy talk about it. I don't want to hear their place in history. I don't want to hear this.

I want to hear – I like that. And then I actually didn't want to hear the lockdown guys either just trying to tell, oh, you know what? It's a great seat. I know it is, but I just didn't want to hear the lockdown guys either just trying to tell, oh, you know what? It's a great seat. I know it is, but I just didn't want to hear it now. I would prefer the latter over – or the former over the first one because I really didn't want this all to be like a story about how Luka's not ready

and Luka can't win it on the big – I'd rather them talk about the Celtics. Yeah. Because that's what happened. Yeah. I mean, they won 64 games. So you guys didn't see Tatum post-game? Yeah, dude. What?

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's that I'm influenced by NBA Twitter. I don't know what it is about him that makes me hate him, but I hate him. And not even like in an anger way. I just think he's a dork. He tried to create a viral moment with, we did it. Yeah, okay.

So his post game with Lisa Salters after the game. I think dork is a really good word. My word is corny. He's super corny. He's just a corny fella. He does the Kobe thing, which is really annoying to me. Trying to recreate the picture.

Did you know like he texts Kobe before most games? His dead phone number? Now? Yes. Now. All right. But not only does he do that, you know about it because he told people about it. He screenshot it.

And so now it's just the whole thing. That's way worse. It's so lame. He's really infatuated with Kobe, and so he did his own Kobe picture holding the trophy in the locker room. He did the Kevin Garnett viral moment thing. He basically just did everything other people have done,

trying to make it his own. I heard he said the, I guess we'll never know. Yeah, he did Corey Seager on Kanye. He's lame. Yeah, I just feel like he's... Was he trying to force tears on the sideline near the end of the game too? I saw that part. It felt like it.

And I want to tell you something else. You're not Jordan. We don't think of you like Jordan. No one cares that you're crying. I'm tired of his kid. Already? Why didn't tired of his kid. Already? Why didn't you see his kid? If you didn't see his kid, then you hadn't been... His kid's around all the time.

Let's be honest, though. Who has a good kid? Megan and her husband. I like my kids. Curry's kid got annoying. Tatum's kid's annoying. Most kids are annoying. I feel like Curry's kid had swag

who's the Tatum's kid is around Cowboys cornerback Aiden Diggs over Aiden Diggs Tatum's kid is around all the time and everyone has to

dap him up and give him a little fist bump and he's gotta throw him up in the air and I gotta be honest I'm so lame I'd probably do the same thing but I don't like watching it

when it's someone else but the kid did nothing the kid didn't win I don't like watching it when it's someone else. But the kid did nothing. The kid didn't win. You didn't do anything. No. You were simply created by this man's body. I don't know.

He'll have everything handed to him. Probably weren't planned. Probably wasn't planned. Speculation from Blake Jones. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I hate that I get mad when P.J. Washington, like, tackles K.P. because I'm like, it's K.P. I love him.

Forget K.P. Dude, I love that. Wait, now we're sliding into Mavs talk. Hold on. Let me give you the good news. Okay. And then we'll get back to the bad news, which is the Mavs. Okay. So let's pick it up at give you the good news. Okay. And then we'll get back to the bad news, which is the Mavs. Okay.

Let's pick it up at PJ Washington. Okay. The good news is we have been informed that we will be going to Cowboys training camp this year. Look at that, folks. Wow. Your fourth favorite podcast has credentials to Cowboys

training camp. Did you give them the real podcast name? No. We told them it's called the DZP. Yeah. No, we told them. You know, we know a lot of people over there, so it's hard to lie. Yeah. We wanted to lie.

Yeah, so if you guys ever wonder what we've heard, you know, we think it's a big deal. It's a huge deal. Yeah, because they've turned down radio stations from covering camp before. Dan and I are going to wear our best black tank tops and gold chains so that we can prove that we're a real podcast that should be treated as such. But if you guys ever wonder what we do on Wednesdays, what we pretty much do is we look at an email for six straight hours and we're like, change that term. How can we make this possibly

seem a little more legitimate? And then on Sunday, we get someone else to write it for us. Yeah, we're like, this sucks. Let's bring in a closer. Wednesdays are exhausting. Let's bring in a closer. You don't have to go try to paint the corner at 90 miles an hour. 90.

Jeez. You went 90? He's not on brand. He's not. I would be shocked if you broke 60. You're out of your mind, dude. You're out of your mind, dude. You're out of your mind. Let's go to the...

I'll get it tracked tomorrow if you want. Okay. Yeah. I want to see it on video. No problem. And we'll play it Thursday. We have a video show Thursday. So actually though,

so now this is what we will talk about tomorrow On Business Wednesday How to get there Because we could fly Which is the way many people would travel to California Have we already talked about our other flight? To Cleveland?

Yeah We brought that up right? I think we've mentioned that we're going to be covering that But yeah we didn't have to really get anybody's permission for that We did not The Cowboys if they don't let us into camp We can't cover camp we're going to be covering that. But yeah, we didn't have to really get anybody's permission for that. We did not. But Cowboys, if they don't let us into camp, we can't cover camp. We're flying to that one. Yeah.

This one, we might need a little help. So yeah, Video Man's idea is, hey, what if we drive and then we could do content on the way out? Video Man always has ideas for more content. He's like, hey, do... I'm like, yeah, okay, that's just easy. Which, it's not that hard. But, you know, he's always looking for more for us to do. Yeah.

Although I would imagine having to video things, and, you know, that's quite a bit of work for him as well. So I should probably lay off Video Man for just one moment. But I was talking to him today, because we were talking before about maybe an RV. He's like, I don't think we want a big, giant RV that you sleep in. He's thinking

more of the... He called it a... I can't read my own writing. It's Sprinter, Dan. Oh, okay. You know the word Sprinter van. I don't know what that is. Of course I do. What is that? He said like a van that might have been gutted out and there's a couch in there. You guys have experience with this? Yes.

Yes. One of the guests, his parents retired and that's now what they do. They travel around in the Sprinter van. I have a friend. So they don't sleep in it? I got a buddy boy. They do. Yeah.

Full toilet. Shut up, Nana Papa They do. Yeah. Full toilet. Shut up, Nana Papa. Okay. Yeah, you can. But yeah, it's like what small to mid-sized bands often use. Okay. Like the Jordan Richardson's... Can we get a band bus?

A bang bus. I assumed that's what we would call it. Yeah. There was really no other options. don't you wish Letty's bus that we went to if that thing drove over 20 miles an hour I brought it up to you the other day it would need to go over 20 miles an hour

and over 20 miles I don't think either one of those things are happening the rangers bus that we broadcast opening day so if you have access to a sprinter or you're in a league with a sprinter company

and would like to reach out. He said maybe small RV. Mm-hmm. But I guess anything. If somebody has access to something. Well, I don't necessarily want your Corolla. Okay. That might be tiny. But something that we could...

Now, would we offer... You can go on the trip with us if you want? 100%. How about that? Without a doubt. Can you imagine all the... I'm trying to think of a different word for tail. Tail trim.

He's already run through all of his Uncle Dan bingo. All the top box we could attract. Box? Yeah. Top shelf box, bruv. Primo box. Okay. As they say.

Yep. They don't. No one does. But yes, I think it would be a cool way for us to experience this trip, even though Blake has been noticeably silent for not only the phone calls and planning this, but also just now. Yeah, I still just got to get my mind right on a two-day drive west to California with you two. Well, if we can't get one, we'll just have to fly. But, you know, that ups the company cost.

I know that's not something you're concerned about. That's right. Why? Knowing that you're all... Well, why don't I just stay back? You can save the ticket. I'm already tired of him on a trip we haven't taken yet. Are we there yet?

Who's going to quadruple record the show if you're not there? That's your bit. Are we recording quadruple record the show if you're not there. That's your bit. Are we recording quadruple or triple these days? We're triple right now. Okay. It's pretty good. I'm still trying to.

Like, we can't lose another show, right? It's impossible? We're going to lose another show. Never say never. Yeah, it's probably going to happen. Oh, man. I was looking for more confidence out of you. Yeah, so we're going to Cowboys training camp. Very excited about it. Very going to happen. Oh, man. I was looking for more confidence out of you. Yeah, so we're going to Cowboys training camp. Very excited about it.

Very, very cool. We'll get to do on-field interviews and shoot some video and be like a real legit operation. Kicking competition with Brandon Aubrey. Spencer McKenzie's. There you go. I mean, that's literally the first thing Dan brought up. That's what he'll put into the GPS.

Yeah, we're just heading there. Yeah. Brandon Aubrey, he'll remember us. Oh, yeah, he's been in the den. Should we book him prior to us going just to rekindle our relationship, or is that more of a beating for him? Okay, if I have to also learn how to kick field goals, I will.

Maybe he could teach us how to kick off with some of the new rules. Sure. He teaches the watermelon kick. Wasn't him, but sure. Well, he's coached by the same guy. I'm sure that guy teaches all his young kickers.

Anyone under the tutelage of bones learns the watermelon. Yeah. I'm fired up, man. It's going to be cool. Very exciting for us to be going to Cowboys training camp. It'll be Dan's first seafood burrito at Spencer McKenzie's in over two years. So a big deal for Big Mac. Before moving on to our first sports segment,

a brief one-off I wanted to play for you is a confusing thing that Jake saw in his neighborhood as well as Dan won't text his poor mom back. I had a brief topic for you guys that I wanted to discuss out of the gate because as referenced, I am staying in a rental house right now and that rental house, very close to your home,

is in a cul-de-sac so um the street itself i would say it's like four and four on each side and then maybe four in the cul-de-sac it's not a deep court you know and i haven't i have noticed that there seem to be a high degree of people who appear to have made a wrong turn like they just come in and turn back around which is weird to me because i just assume everyone is using the ways or google map or apple map but I guess. I have not personally noticed that speeding is an issue. I drive very slow. Yeah, and your little street for sure. That's what I'm saying.

That's why I said that there's really only like four houses on each side. Yeah, yeah. There's really nowhere to speed. It'd be hard to get up to, yeah. Yeah. But I have a guy or a family rather uh at the end of the street that put this up uh at the end of the street and it's way out there and what that is is uh you you've probably seen it before yeah it's uh it's a little turtle indicating slow uh with slow

written on him and he's got a he's got a red flag there and a little baseball cap on but I wanted to present the image to you guys to see so you could see that's pretty far away from the curb like that's in the street yes a couple days ago maybe five days ago it was up in their driveway and now they've moved it I say, a quarter to a third out into the street. Alerting, it's just for your street, too. That's the thing. The message you're sending is to a very small amount of people. Again, perhaps if you expand it to the people that are coming in, but why would they be going fast if they're turning around?

Maybe their kid is developmentally disabled. It's possible. And their kid is just slow, and they want to tell everybody, our kid's slow. Maybe. I just find this to be aggressive, and it's a type of guy. And I'm not that type of guy, but I'm always interested in types of guys. Would you take that down? Just plow through it? Yeah. guy and i'm not that type of guy but i'm always interested in types of guys i would would you take that down i just plow through it yeah just my wife will take down the

like a uh painting available like the little advertisement signs somebody will put up in the neighborhood like at the corner like a garage Not a garage sale, but if it's like a printed sign for, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. We paint houses or something. It's commercial. We buy houses. Yeah, yeah.

She'll take those down. As she walks by, she'll remove it and lay it down. Jesus. Yeah. That's an aggressive maneuver. She'll do that, and then she'll also hunt fuzzy caterpillars. Yes, and by the way, those have kind of gone away. She's just a menace on these walks.

Well, she's trying to help the neighborhood. Just destroying everything. She's wanting to beautify the neighborhood. Yeah. I just wanted you guys to be aware that this type of person exists. No, that person is in my neighborhood too. What does theirs say? It's the exact same thing.

They have two of them, and they put it out when their kids play. I wasn't going to run your kid over. No, but it makes me want to. Because there are cars on both curbs, and so they put them on the insides of the cars. Now we have what? So now I have a very narrow area where i could fit my car in you've made it worse with yeah and i see the kids yeah and it kind of upsets me i used to always laugh uh where i live there is a sign that says like drive

like your kids live here and i've told you guys this before, but I used to always laugh thinking about like Casey Anthony driving by that. And she's like just mashing the accelerator. Like, well, I know what I'd do if my kid lived here. Yeah. Run them over. Put them in a trash bag. My non-sports item I wanted to bring up in the beginning of the show had to do with text threads. Okay.

I wanted to bring up in the beginning of the show had to do with text threads. Okay. But I just, it's the opposite of what you guys always like talking about. The group text thread. But it's my mom text thread. I have a picture there,

video man, if you want to throw it up. We're on YouTube today. But so, yes, this is just, last night she was calling she called a couple of times and i like let it go to voicemail you're a jerk but then she you know you not answer when your elderly mother calls you i was i got stuff going on you just don't understand what i got going on over there i have a pretty good idea you think i have nothing happening but i've got lots of things what and those were happening and so i couldn't answer the phone and then she texted me so i'm like what was the big deal like what was and i talked to her

this morning about it there was no big deal she just had to tell me she was watching master chef and there was a guy uh Southlake auditioning. And then, of course, the second call was to tell me what her second text was last night. He didn't make it. Like, if your mom, if you guys ever live in a different state than your mom, anything that happens around, like, ooh, did those tornadoes bother you yeah has she asked you about the hurricane i heard it's really hot what about ercot she hasn't seen ercot but she watches the weather channel religiously she loves the weather channel yeah older people love weather

that's probably why the local news just hammers the weather yeah Yeah, that's a good point. But that is all my mom is into. 24-7 weather. She can tell you right now- What it's doing in South Carolina. How the weather is in California. Yeah, I don't really, I don't have a good explanation for that. But does she think that all of Texas hits Dallas? Because South Texas is underwater.

Hurricane Alberto. She will, yes. Does she think that we're underwater up in Dallas? It's like we're bigger than Europe. Yes, if she knew something about that, she would ask me about it, but she didn't. I do appreciate, though, and you won't know this unless you're watching

on the YouTube channel or one of our other video streams. She did apologize for possibly not knowing how to spell the chef's name. She hit you with the SP question mark. No, that was nice. Yeah. Maybe I got it wrong. Can we talk about the picture?

The one above it, yeah. So she will take random pictures of things that I have no connection with. I've never seen this animal. I have more questions about this than the MasterChef. Way more. So she wrote definitely Eden's because. There's a, it looks like a cat maybe? Looks like a cat, yeah. But somehow this animal is related to your daughter.

Laying on a deck in the sun. And she says it's definitely Eden's cousin 90 degrees today she wants to lay in the sun. So apparently this must be my brother's house and he must have a cat. I've never met his cat. I haven't seen my brother in

three years that's sad bud uh it's fine but like we're fighting through it does eden love the heat eden does love to sit out on the deck in the uh the hot sun so she knows that that's the context that you have to know but do i need do i care why do i care about this cat but don't you just not be a jerk? I'm just asking. He didn't even give it a thumbs up. Clearly, every mammal that likes to heat is related. Well, I never did respond to that one.

You didn't respond at all. That could have been months ago. As you may know, I'm not a big text guy. I know, and I learned that early on. I respect it. And when you lay that out, people don't expect text back from you. Yeah, it's true. Because, again, I got a lot of shit going on, man.

You guys do not understand the bullets that I am dodging left and right. I still feel like. I'm on the phone all day on business Wednesday. I still feel like you could respond to your mother, but whatever. She knows that I will speak to her each and every weekend. And maybe the reason she doesn't get mad about it is because I'm responding to her so much. Sure. Yeah.

Hell yeah. That'd be really funny if I became your stepdad. That'd be awesome, man, because I know you're a good gift giver. Yeah. You're a tender lover. Yep. Yep. And yeah. I would love to see the –

Get your AirPods every couple years. Come on. Sit down over here, little Danny. That from the open on Thursday, June 20th, if you would like to hear the rest of that segment. Our first sports segment today is laying the Mavs to rest. That from the Open on Thursday, June 20th, if you would like to hear the rest of that segment. Our first sports segment today is laying the Mavs to rest. This is from our Tuesday episode,

the day after the Mavs lost in five to the Boston Celtics. And the Mavs lost. And the Mavs lost. So, yeah, that's back to the bad news. But, yeah, I don't know. Seriously, what did you see? What did we hear? It's called, what did we see? What did it feel like? And you're a

dick. Oh, come on. I'm trying to add some levity. Things started out super negative. That 9-2 run. The Mavs weren't hitting any shots, and I guess that just continued all game. Yeah. They're 1-8 from the field early on, before they took that first time out.

7-26 left. KP enters the game, and the fans are chanting KP. Like, they're chanting for him. Wasn't it a weird thing how he became a little cult hero during that whole run? It's a weird thing, but I do get it from his time here. He's a very likable person. And everybody knows that it sucks how much he's been hurt. Do you think he's way more likable when he's your third or fourth best player?

Without a doubt. Than when you're counting on him and then he disappears? Yeah. And also, even though he's European, he is white and he's in Boston. Doesn't hurt. They see a white guy who's trying really hard but is also pretty good. Like Sam Houser's never paying for a drink in that town again. My God.

Neither is – yeah, no, I can't stand him. My God. Neither is... Yeah, no, I can't stand him. But, yeah, I mean, KP's had a rough run, man. Who's the other white... Oh, Richard. Oh, my God.

Screw that guy. The end of the first half, he traveled. He did. He did. No, P.J. Washington traveled. Hmm. They called that one. Basketball Breakdown said he didn't.

Or what's that guy's name? Coach Nick. Coach Nick, yeah. Anyway, yeah, if it wasn't for that traveling non-call. We're looking at a game six. Yeah, right. I mean, it was kind of a battle early in the first. Josh Green comes in of all things.

Like, I thought. Josh Green might have been your best player. I kind of thought they might go Timmy time pretty early. Yeah. Like, let's see. And it was interesting to me that they didn't until the second half at all. Yeah. Whenever the hole was already.

Right. Because Exum came in before him. Maxie. Josh Green. Lively, of course. He's always first off the bench pretty much. But, yeah, Josh Green was actually hitting shots, and Luka and Kyrie were not. And that's the thing. Those guys had to be awesome, like for the whole game, and they were not.

And Kyrie especially. Oh, man. Kyrie had a terrible series. A bad series, yeah. I was very, very wrong about that. Because we didn't get fourth quarter. You know, we had come to expect, okay, here's a guy that can score 30. He might only have eight points going into halftime or whatever,

but he'll end up with 30 because that's when his time is. And we never got that. There was the one game in the Minnesota series where he did it early when Luka couldn't. Yeah. And so it seemed like he can kind of turn it on when he wants. I hate the questioning of an athlete's mental

state or aptitude, but it very clearly seemed to me like he was affected by the circumstances, home and road. Just the crowd and watching him deal with them, I don't know. It felt like he was in a weird space. I listened to his Sunday press conference. Not pregame.

Practice press conference. He was talking a lot of Boston Because now he's back in Boston And everybody's asking him Questions about Boston But he did say it You know Everybody chanting

Kyrie sucks Got in his head Like he Admitted that Which I thought was really weird But Well it wasn't going to stop Either way

He's become kind of an honest guy But he Yeah That's really the thing Is that he's He's pretty open and forthright With his thoughts now. It seemed pretty obvious to me.

Boston's third, fourth, fifth, and sixth best players are way better than Dallas' third, fourth, fifth, and sixth best players. So Dallas' first and second best players have to be way better than Boston's first and second players for them to win, and they were not. They basically played almost to a push, if that. So the only way Dallas was going to win this series was if we had a couple games of just absolute berserk Kyrie and Luka probably in the same game, and that never happened. Does Luka hurt? Oh, my gosh, yes.

When is he not? No, I think he's legit. I think he might have to have a surgery. Yeah. I don't think it's just nicked up. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a meniscus tear or sprained MC. I mean, something. So I'll play you a little bit from post real quick.

Because Olympic qualifying is coming up. And he was asked about that, which, you know, for a country of that size, the fact that they're able to compete in the Olympics and actually make the quarterfinals or semifinals, right, like they did last time, that's a huge, huge deal. And they have no chance without him. And so he was asked about that. It was not more one-on on one or help or closing out?

What? He gets to it. Just everything. They're a great team, that's what they do. There's a quick turnaround time before the Olympic qualifying tournament. What do you- I wanna talk about what's next, man. I have some decisions to make, just trying to get a little bit healthier. We'll talk. We have interviews in two days, right?

So I'll give you an answer to that. Any other questions, Steve? He's not playing. Yeah, I was going to say, if he says that, it means no. Yeah. Because I always thought he was kind of like Dirk. Dirk is like, I'm always going to play for Germany. Yep.

And it just seemed like, yes. He cut him off two or three words into the question. And he never does that. No. So I think Blake's right. He's pretty beat up. Which as a Mavs fan, I don't want him to play. Yeah, I mean, I know what you mean, but I love watching it.

And I love how mad people get at me whenever I root for them. What if the – Even though – Do they have like a prime minister or president? Somebody was here. Yeah, I'm sure – SportsMirror, I think, probably had some sort of meetup with him. Probably.

No, I'm going to say didn't because I would have seen it on social media. SportsMirror doesn't do anything like, you know what, I'll keep this on the DL. Yeah. But I wonder if that was part of his motivation for flying over here. Trying to influence him a little bit? Trying to make sure that he does play. Maybe that's already like a big story there, a big rumor that he's not going to play. Man, I saw a story the other day, and I have Googled this a thousand times

and still don't really understand it. And I started looking into it whenever Mike Tobey, Virginia Cavalier, played for Slovenia. I think you can just have one American on your team randomly. Really? They don't have to have some kind of a tie? Well, I think you apply to become a naturalized citizen. I have no idea how that works.

I swear to God, Mike Tobey has no connection to Slovenia at all. And I saw a story that Daniel Gafford was going to try to do it. Yeah. You saw that too? Yeah. Yeah, like... Did we talk about this? I thought the TNT guys asked him about it. He's just going to randomly decide. I don't remember that.

Yeah, I want to play for Slovenia in the Olympics. I've never been, but it seems nice. My guess is Daniel Gafford will not be doing that if Luka doesn't play. No. He just stuck with Zoran Dragic. No, I mean, look.

I wasn't mad last night. I'm not mad today. I know you're supposed to be, but I don't believe in like the rings culture thing. They missed the freaking participation trophy playoffs last year. They tanked. They basically had no path to becoming good again. They made an awesome trade. They made an awesome minimum signing of Derek Jones Jr.

They had an awesome draft with Derrick Lively, and they made it to the finals. They got beat by a Terminator. It happens. I was not, like, upset last night at all. And I just used like again so someone can get the post-it note. I might have to. I just don't see how you could be too upset about it

Yeah, if you are a Luka non-apologist I guess or want to point out all his flaws later in the game he was lazy on the boards he was getting out hustled for everything but it was kind of like that that might have been the

they did kind of let go of the rope thing. But he wasn't getting any help either. Maxie came in and just chucked up bricks. And you can't they're not going to win too many games

where Derrick Jones Jr. and P.J. Washington cannot buy one. Yeah. And they were getting some open looks. Yeah, for sure. I looked at the

shot quality numbers were pretty much even. And Luka wasn't hitting. No. He just wasn't on either. Hasn't been really for the whole playoffs. They said at one point he was one for his last 21 from three. I think he made a couple then in the fourth.

Yeah. But Boston was getting a ton of offensive rebounds. That's really dejecting. Oh, yeah. When you're getting offensive rebounds, that's really dejecting. Oh, yeah. When you're getting offensive rebounds, that is just giving you second chances. And Dallas has been pretty good about that during this

run, but Boston's big. They're long. They have more facial hair. That's a line for only people who love Mighty Ducks, too. We didn't pick it up right back at PJ Washington, but I enjoyed it, man. I just don't like anybody being mean to KP.

I just like PJ Washington. Yeah, I know. In fact, I love PJ Washington. He's at least got two more years. It might be three more years. But most of this team is signed through next year outside of Derek Jones Jr. And you might – So PJ's going to be back.

I think as the playoffs went on – The price of Derek Jones Jr. went down. Yeah, everybody was real hot and bothered like, oh, this guy is going to get maxed out. Not a max, but you know. Yeah, yeah. That there's no way you're going to get him for the mid-level exception. And I think that you will now. You might.

And that's great. You might. And that's great. You might. But the main things going forward are you're going to have to figure out what you're going to do with Tim Hardaway because he has a huge number and he gives you essentially nothing. Maxie is hurt all the time. And Josh Green just signed a contract, and I have no clue what he is still.

Yeah, there's something there. There's something. He gets out and runs, and he pushes the ball, and he can shoot. You know, he hits multiple threes last night. You don't want to rely on him. But, I mean, because he would basically be the guy who would take Derek Jones Jr.'s space. Can you believe that Dwight Powell used to be a major minutes eater on this team and they were good?

Think about that. Yeah, I mean, there was a time where Dwight Powell was good, though. He wasn't great, but he was decent. And I can tell Blake already disagrees with that. I wouldn't throw out good. As a lob threat, Dwight Powell used to give you something. Sure, when no one was around and he could jump up and catch it and dunk it, he was good.

And you're right. When Luka got blitzed, he was pretty good at the four-on-three, but he got absolutely bodied by any real center. I mean, you can definitely tell the difference when you see, not even just Lively, but even Gafford. Like, that's a real big... Yes. And then Lively's a

step up from Gafford. Yeah. Yeah, they did have a... It seemed like their defensive philosophy changed a bit last night, where they were coming at pressuring Luca more and that's why they needed the other players to hit some shots and they just did not.

And maybe that's a conscious thing of in Boston will do that because you know the whole thing about the role players playing much better at home. It's not just a old wives' tale. I think statistics back that up.

Yeah, Drew Holliday scored the first six, right? Yeah, I think so. That's good. The Mavs. Yeah. I hate the Bucs for that one. I saw this on Twitter. Kyrie is 32. Derek Jones, 27.

Luca PJ Gafford, 25. Josh Green, 23. Hardy, 27. Luca, PJ, Gafford, 25. Josh Green, 23. Hardy, 21. Not that big of a contributor, but still. Maybe. And Derek Lively is 20. So these are all, besides Kyrie, 25 and under, which seems like it's great for the future,

and they're already here. And how many stories, cliche stories, are there of you have to kind of take your lumps, you have to get your failures, you have to take steps? I mean, obviously Tatum and Boston is a great example of that because they've been inching their way forward for the past seven years. LeBron, they point to when Dirk handed him a finals loss there, that really to learn from that and to, you know, be able to have to have that pain

in order to, you know, watch them celebrate and all that. And, you know, Luka's been through that, been through the pain of losing in the first round for the first couple years. Then he, you know, finally got to the championship Then he finally got to the championship and then finally got to the finals. I definitely still think it's going to happen. It's just nothing is guaranteed.

It's not like you can just say, all right, well, next step next year, win the finals. We win the finals this year, we'll be back next year. Yeah, this isn't a checkpoint. It doesn't seem like their path is like Boston's in the finals. We win the finals this year and we'll be back next year. Yeah, this isn't a checkpoint where you just load from here. It doesn't seem like their path is as like Boston's in the east was a little bit cleaner. Because I don't know, you know,

Milwaukee's got a weird situation going on. Philly has an extremely weird situation going on. But in the west, you're dealing with Shea in Oklahoma City. You're dealing with Ant in Minnesota. You're still dealing with Jokic and company in Denver.

The Rockets might be good soon. The Spurs. You're going to have to deal with Wimby. You would have to think the Clippers could muster a run with all that talent. I'm less confident in that, but

you're right. They're better than the fourth best team in the playoffs. Jaw coming back for Memphis. Yeah. I mean, the Pelicans are decent. Yeah, the West is stupid. So, I do think it's going to happen at some point, but it's a freaking bloodbath, man. Do the Mavs draft Brownie?

Just to try to get it done? Would you want LeBron here? No. Yes. Well, hold on. Let me answer as two different people. As a fan, absolutely not. For the show.

For the show. I mean, that's what you said about Kyrie, and look how perfect he's been. Come on. We go to training camp, we take a couple trips, it'd be fun. I mean, if LeBron was a Mav, I think it would be good for us.

And then he talks Luka into going to Vegas, his new franchise, as a free agent in two years when LeBron retires. But you get one title out of it. And I don't have to do TB12. You get a title, you don't have to do TB12,

and Luka goes to Vegas. I'll take it. I'll take it. Even though I'm pretty sure Bronny's not even an NBA player. No, but he's going to start. You think? LeBron, Bronny, Luka Lively and Kyrie

hey my last Mavs thing is uh did you see the Tim McMahon story this morning about uh Cuban uh I heard I saw like a headline and I'm well I'm confused by the whole deal I have been since the sale uh but like the first

iteration of the story was that so they sold to the Adelsons but Cuban was still in charge of basketball operations so Nico would report to him. And now apparently

Nico reports directly to the owner. Well and even in that when people were pontificating about it it was that Cuban owns the control share. To make sure, even if he owns 10%, he's in charge of things.

I don't understand any of it, but it was significant enough to where McMahon wrote an article that says that basically, Cuban's kind of just a guy who owns part of the team now. That he has nothing to do with basketball operations. Which is very hard to wrap your head around. Basically, like, Cuban's kind of just a guy who owns part of the team now. That he has nothing to do with basketball operations. Which is very hard to wrap your head around. Because he's always had everything to do with that. Since day one.

And when the sale happened, he said it would always be that way. So I don't know. It's a weird story. Just because I know nothing about the people who now own the basketball team I root for. And are you... Like, nothing. Right. Other than they were sitting next to Steve Nash the other night. Are you happy or sad?

Because some people are saying, oh, that's great. It's more normal. Right? Typically, the person who owns the team is not that involved in personnel decisions. Yeah, Steve Ballmer's not making trades. He does press conferences and yells. But they're the final word.

And this person, the Adelson family. Like Steve Ballmer did say you have to make that Paul George trade. Yeah, and I don't think that, I still think that'll be the case. But Cuban was like recruiting players. I mean, he was at the case, but Cuban was like recruiting players. I mean, he was at the club with Chandler Parsons.

Sorry if I just brought up a tough memory. Maybe that's a good thing that he's not. I have some audio from game. Do you have any post-game stuff? Yeah, I have one kid thing I'll play for you real quick. Let's see here. So the reason I pulled this was because it's very funny to me.

And we've all been there. You've referenced before the Star's Flight where we all have to act like, oh my god, we've just witnessed basically the Holocaust. And it's just like a sports match. Right. It's because they lost the last one game of a three game.

Oh, yes. Yeah. So I just thought it was funny that even Tim McMahon, who's awesome, has to do like hush tones questions and everybody does it. Tim McMahon, ESPN. do like hush tones questions and everybody does it. Tim McManus being Jason, when you look at, you know, what needs to happen for you guys to be able to get over that last hurdle. I mean, already, can you tell, like, it's just Jason, what needs to happen?

Yeah. And that's, I'm like you, that's not how I felt really at the end of the game. That's not really how I feel today. I think we all were pretty easily ready to step back and say, this has been kind of great. Guess who else didn't feel that way, and I promise you this. Jason Kidd. Everyone wanted Jason Kidd fired four months ago,

and he just got this team to the finals. And he got an extension. Yeah. Like, he may have to pretend, but I promise you last night he was like, oh shit, I did my job. We faced a juggernaut. This is one of the most lopsided odds

going into a finals. They didn't expect to be here. Boston had to be there. Yeah. But everybody in the press conference, it's the exact same tone. I just picked Tim's because it was interesting. Tim McMahon, ESPN. Jason, when you look at what needs to happen for you guys to be able to get over that last hurdle, what are things that stand out to you as far as how you can get to that, take that next step?

Well, I think the first step is just to be in it. I think that's a big thing. A lot of us. It is a big thing to be in it. You know, I think that's a big thing. A lot of us. It is a big thing to win the finals. I want to say a lot of us, excluding the people in the locker room, didn't have us here. And see, this is why I included this part, right? So we're going to get another dosage of.

Social media, the media itself. But we don't listen. We don't hear any of that noise. We block all that out. Except I know about all of it. Except I'm going to reference it every single time we have a success and say like none of you thought we'd be here. When I say a lot of us

excluding the people in the locker room didn't have us here and so to be able to start the playoffs in LA to start the playoffs in Oklahoma to start the playoffs in L.A., to start the playoffs in Oklahoma, to start the playoffs in Minnesota, to understand that that's not easy to do. Why does he talk like this? Yes, we lost 4-1, but I thought the group fought against the Celtics,

and just unfortunately we just couldn't make shots when we had to, or we turned the ball over, and they took full advantage of that. There's a lot of positives in this run that we were on during the playoffs, but also since March we've been playing basketball at a high level. When we go back to look at some of this stuff, what we can continue to build on and what we can get better at. First row on the right, Brad. He didn't answer the question at all.

He didn't answer it at all. Can you keep playing? Because I almost pulled this part. Okay. This kind of piggybacks on what we just said about him. First row on the right, Brad. Brad Townsend, Dallas Foreign News. Speaking of building, you've talked about building a culture here

in three years, conference finals, NBA finals. What would you say kind of the biggest, the most important pillars that you feel like you have put in so far? Yeah, I think that's a very good point. You know, first year we lose to Golden State, who becomes the world champs. And then we lose this year to the world champs in the Boston Celtics so not a bad

run in two out of three years. Not bad for me. I'm going to remind you. Conference finals? Remember that? Pretty good job. Yeah, pretty good. Who won last year? Denver. The title. Denver, yeah. Remember during the season we lost to

them. Yeah, they beat us once, yeah. We played them in Shanghai. They beat us in the preseason. So really we're right there. Yeah, transit property. But, yeah, I don't know. I mean, like we said the other day, it's hard to argue with the results, but he annoys me quite a bit.

And, you know, I guess all coaches and athletes do this to an extent of the, I'm blocking out the noise. I don't see anything you guys say or write, but also. That fuels me. I'm proving you wrong. The hate fuels me. Yeah. It's just such a silly game we play.

I do think, too, it's a hundred times better to lose the series 4-1 than 4-0 yeah especially if like that one you just like beat the brakes off somebody and they were pretty much in

all the games except for last night so yeah I think I'm with you I thought you were going to say is it better to lose 4-1 or in Game 7? No, I'd rather get to Game 7. I want more. Yeah, yeah, I want more too, but I was not yet. Then you would feel like you're right.

Yeah. I don't know that you do feel like, yes. I mean, you've already said it. Yeah. You don't feel like you're going to be there again next year and we'll get it done. I mean, I know I said it. Yeah. You don't feel like you're going to be there again next year and we'll get it done. I mean, I know I've referenced this twice now, but I've been watching it a lot for personal inspiration.

But the Will Smith quote that I told you guys about, that the difference between 90% and 100% is 50%, makes sense to me. Like, they're close, but the difference between getting to where the Celtics are right now and where the Mavericks have displayed themselves to be, it's not like just winning two, three more basketball games. The Celtics are a machine. They won 14 more regular season games. Now, the Mavericks might have won more if they had this complete roster during the season,

but they're not on the same level. Such a boring machine, too, man. Yeah, their coach sucks. I don't even know what he's doing. Their coach, their stars. You know what? I'm looking at my notes. I forgot to pull the audio, but it was the Jalen Brown sounds of the game.

Anytime they were mic'd up, they were horrible. Sounds of the game sucks. Just so generic. It's not interesting. It's like, this guy, you're calling him a leader? Yeah, it's not interesting. If you suppose they win, then that's where... So here's...

This was in Kyrie's head. You don't have to simply attack Luka if you can use your defense to create this, you're in good shape. The crowd serenading Kyrie Irving. What are they saying, Mike? I'm not quite sure, JJ. It's hard to decipher. There's John Goble along with zach zarba and billy kennedy excellent officiating

crew for tonight all right i kept all that in just to show you how bad they suck uh that was that does not carry my refutation of your point that mike breen sucks yeah oh these fans oh what officials there's johnobel or whoever. Yeah, of course. That's why I'm here. Legendary. Oh, Billy Kennedy. Holy shit, is that Zach Zarba?

Is that the sweaty one? I think so. Oh, the hot one? The Don Drapery guy? Yeah. Okay, yeah. He's a snack. But yes, just the lack of chemistry of the booth.

Yeah. I give up. JJ's going to try and... Hey, what's that? What are they saying, Mike Breen? What are they saying, Grandpa? They say, like, as of us starting out this morning, recording that he's been hired.

Riddick? Yeah. Really? I think so. I'll see if I can confirm that I'm not getting sacked. Boy, that's juicy Shams versus Woj, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we need to.

Because Shams had that right away. If you care about that, and I don't accept that it's – I care that people care, But it's really weird. It's to watch the pissing contest. But that you can be paid so much to be called an NBA insider, and the only inside information you ever get is something that's about to happen anyway.

You didn't uncover something and report on something that they wanted hidden. You uncovered something 10 minutes before someone else did. Before their press conference to announce it. Well, Shams went back on McAfee today, which is a whole other

interesting component of that apparently, and said, there's not an agreement as far as I know right now. He had meetings with the Lakers brass Sunday. That is a whole other great level because Woj works for ESPN. Yeah, and then McAfee just has Shams on. Because I could see in the old days, which is like a year ago, two years ago, they would have said, don't have him on.

You have to have ESPN guys on. I don't think they could tell him anything. Right. And we were told that when trying to book Michael Irvin. It was very funny because, and I, fuck it. We couldn't have people on from The Athletic when I worked for The Athletic. Right. At the ticket.

But I'm saying ESPN's ecosystem, though, wouldn't allow their guys on the ticket. Yeah. And we used to bitch about that. And then, yes, then the ticket would actually do that exact same thing. Yeah. Of, well, no, we shouldn't have a guy from the Star-Telegram on because Dallas Morning News runs our app. Yeah. What does that matter?

This is the guy that has the story. Yeah. Well, yeah, but just get a guy that works for the morning news. But yeah, but he's going to be talking about their story. Yeah. So anyways, I don't know if – he's going to be the coach of the Lakers, and it's going to be really funny. Because he does a podcast with LeBron.

And it's going to fail. Probably. Yes, it will be funny when LeBron starts blaming him. Because LeBron has blamed every coach that he's ever been with. And, by the way, he's been right on every one of them. Every single one. It's not like Eric Spolstra went on to become a Hall of Fame head coach who's done more with less than just about anybody.

So does that mean he's not coming to Dallas? LeBron, probably not, Blake. I'm sorry. Would have been fun. Would you take J. to Dallas? LeBron? Probably not, Blake. I'm sorry. Would have been fun. Would you take JJ and LeBron? Get rid of Kidd? Yes. Let's just turn it into a circus.

Let's go. Three-ring this thing. You want to hear the short halftime report? My favorite bit we have going right now. We've been following the fact that this is an actual full segment. And don't count the part even with the bumper where they read

the ad. Okay. So let's try and figure out how long this actually is. A full segment. Welcome back to the Kia Halftime. Let's check out our Kia Halftime highlights. Oops. He did it again. He was shoved into this game just for this reason.

Peyton Pritchard hits the half court shot, and those are our Kia Halftime highlights. Boston so close they can taste it. Second half after this. 17 seconds. So they learned to not throw it to someone. I was going to say, they didn't even try to throw it to someone else this time.

She also did say highlights, played one clip, and then said those are our highlights. I'm just not sure they're understanding what plural is. A really forced Britney Spears reference. Yeah, while I'm on a new level as playing.

Yeah. And then, yeah, just the buzzer beater. It's so bad. Peyton Pritchard. Yeah. That's what, you know, because that's what really swung the game. You know, when Kia was envisioning, hey, let's put our logo on these highlights,

here's Peyton Pritchard for you. It's really incredible to me. Like, is there a Kia exec at home who's just like, damn it, man, is it Jalen Brown? Glass of bourbon, like, I can't believe we spent $700,000 on this. It's incredible how bad ESPN is at doing games when they're ESPN. Yeah.

They are sports. And they've always been just terrible at football. Well, Troy and Joe now, but yeah. Now they have Troy and Joe. But at developing... Which is why they paid for them. Right. They had to steal someone else's full team to say, yes, this is... You guys show

us how to do announcing because we don't know how to hire anyone. And then their halftime show for basketball is obviously so far behind what TNT has. I feel like I should just come clean about this. I miss the two old guys up at the balcony at the Muppets Theater. Yeah. I miss Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson. Yeah.

Even though they would come in and basically be like, I'm just going to do a three-hour podcast during a basketball game and just talk crap about the league and the refs. It was interesting. Yeah. You know? Like, they had an agenda for sure. I think I heard George put it that way as well.

Like a blowout game, they were even better. Yeah, because they would just be like, you know, these refs, this rule sucks. Like, they could just mess around. Yeah. Whereas these people, if it's a blowout, unless it's a good game. Yeah. They have no chemistry. They have nothing to say.

Yeah. Breen's a haircut. So now we go to halftime. And I've never really watched the full halftime before. But I decided, you know what? Let's do some research for the show. Don't tell me you're about to do what you're about to do. So

I didn't realize halftime is not an NBA halftime show. It's whatever Stephen A. Smith does during the day. Yeah. It's a take fest. Yeah. Now, not everybody though. So he just sits there.

And because they all bow down to him and they're wearing knee pads and they're slurping and slurping they wait. He doesn't say a word but he has to have the last word. Of course. Because he is Stephen A. Smith, and everything is built around me.

So here you're going to hear, is it Wilbon? Yeah, Michael Wilbon. Okay. Given just a well thought, and it's really weird with him, because I kind of think he's a well-respected- Newspaper guy. Journalist. Hejournalist. He's got wealth.

He's thinking at a different level, perhaps. So you're going to hear the tail end of his points about the first half. Cover your ears, guys. And then we're going to get a take fest. Is that Holiday would be the guy to lead them, and he got them off to a really good start in the first quarter but it was back and forth and dallas was hanging in there for a while and then jason

tatum anybody waiting for him to have that great game he's having it and it's not just scoring it's it's distributing it's getting his team involved it's defending they have shut Luca and Kyrie out right okay shut him out I appreciate everything y'all saying so where the hell is the disgust cuz I'm disgusted this is game five of the NBA finals and and and and you're on the road the stars show up the best player on offense for the Dallas Mavericks has been Josh Green off the bench who hit all three of his threes. Luka's holding on to the ball too damn much.

He's disrupted their pace. Kyrie is just a no-show. Just an absolute no-show right now. We know he is a superstar. He is much better than this. I don't know what's going on with him in Boston, but it's bad, okay? You look at them. Six for 18 shooting.

Faded up, faded up, faded up. Faded up. Faded up. Tatum and Brown, 31 points on 12 and 25 shooting. They have to put the music right. The NBA Finals, the stars for Boston showed up. The stars for Dallas. There's an APB out for

them right now. Okay, now this is the second half. They were down 29 in game two, okay? They came down in game one were down 29 in game two okay they came down to cover a game one rather they came back and they cut it to within eight all right well guess what you're down 21 now you got a second half it's a championship on the line show some fight just show some fight julius what is the coach gonna say what what's jason trying to switch gears bob myers first half obviously a 20-point game like i said teams, teams in the NBA, they score at a tremendous rate. So third quarter is a 20-point game.

Get another 10 by the fourth quarter. Give yourself a shot. That's all you got to do is give yourself a chance. I need to see a Dallas Mavericks team that didn't come here to say, well, at least we didn't get swept. Try to win. Try. Stephen A, I don't think it has to do with effort.

I'm not saying that they're got to be more effective than that. They're being overwhelmed. Austin is in the dominant tier. They are. They're getting beat. And Jason Tatum is going to be right back. What a mess. Okay, so make sure you guys are.

You're going to break. Yeah, that's a classic staple, but you still have to do it right. I'm going to start every single time that you finish a point, I'm going to start going, and I appreciate everything that you have to say. However. That's such a great way to start your point. But it's also a controlled scream.

I am screaming. Yeah. But it is just a loud voice. I am not really yelling because I will enunciate all of these words that you are hearing out of my mouth. And the second that Kia gets their ad read, I will

start talking normal again, like a normal person. I will just speak like this because this is how I talk, and I'm actually not that fired up about any of this. This is when PJ threw down KP. Just throws him down. Crowd reacting to the

replay on the big screen. Washington's just trying to send a little message. Play some physical basketball. If that were Caitlin Clark, it might spark a debate for a week. Respect. A little crossover culture war action. Doris mocking the little ladies game, huh? I mean, if I have any read on what is happening with the WNBA,

it's that everyone who played in the league before is not on her side. Which makes me on her side. Me too. Kind of, yeah. Yeah. The one from last night or whatever, maybe it was two nights ago, was insane. The smashing her in the head? That's insane, dude.

It does happen. It does happen. Happens in the NBA too. Yeah, but then you get somebody puts your teeth in the back of your throat. Yeah. Like you're not – you can't get away with stuff like that. And I'm not trying to be like Caitlin Clark's stand, but – Somehow people have made this a culture war thing too.

Well, they have to. Like it's all black lesbians against the white girl. It's awesome. It reminds me of – and I told you guys about this just recently, I'm pretty sure, but the pride parade I went to. Where I went to a pride parade in D.C. because I just happened to

be there with my wife and another couple. And the pride parade got stopped because it was too corporate. So like there was like a Lockheed Martin float. And it got shut down by LGBTQ

people of color because like the regular pride was too like normal. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like, oh, Caitlin Clark. Oh, that's a progressive thing. We have a woman, a female basketball player who's inspiring women. No, but yes, now fighting within them.

No, we can't have – yeah. Right. It was very interesting to me. The Drew Holiday wife thing is weird, right? Tough look. So I was kind of – it was now the third quarter. They're getting drilled, and I'm fast-forwarding at certain points a little bit, at least the 15-second skip.

Sure. And so someone gets fouled. Let me just skip ahead two clicks, and I don't have to watch them shoot free throws. And I'm not learning anything from these announcers. But – so I hear Breen say this. Tatum will shoot free throws want to make a quick correction and apologies that was not

Blue Holiday's wife I was like what? wait you're apologizing for something you said? now you gotta go back yeah let me rewind here a minute

and see what was said and apparently what they're doing here this is another thing I've picked up on a minute and see what was said. Streisand effect. And apparently what they're doing here, this is another thing I've picked up on. They're playing a one-up game. So everybody who has something nice to say

about Drew Hollett, we've done this before. I can't remember with who. Oh, I got something even nicer. Well, no, no. I remember when he walked on water. Yeah, but I remember. He was acquired one day before camp began. He was the missing piece for the Bucs in 2021. He's the missing piece for Boston here in 2024.

He's everything you want in a basketball player. He's everything you want in a teammate as well. I mean, he is a selfless person. We talked earlier about the sacrifice. Obviously, he probably made the biggest sacrifice this season for the Celtics in terms of his role, and his role has changed night to night throughout the season. He's a deserving champion. Oh, there's no question about it.

And we could take it a step further and talk about what he does in every community he has been in you've talked about he and his wife lauren and their commitment so 439 remaining and there's his wife so it was a lady standing next to two black kids. Yeah. The lady was white, just to paint the picture. They all had lanyards. So I don't know if somebody had said in his ear... Yeah, that's not on him.

That's his wife and kids? Or if he just said, oh, they must be showing this because it's his wife and kids? Or if he just said, oh, they must be showing this because it's his wife and kids? I thought... Have you searched now and seen what his wife actually looks like? Because I kind of thought, for an NBA player, I thought the wife would be a little hotter. But it could have been the nanny.

What's really... Maybe it was his kids. Maybe it was just two kids that were not his. We got a tough scene here, pal. Oh, no. So I was about to say, I've actually looked up his actual wife, who is, I believe, a soccer player. And she's not that much more attractive. leave a soccer player and she's not that much more attractive but that might be because of this brain tumor that resulted in her having her eye removed whoa so that's really a tell that

that's not his wife if mike preen was like i apologize as you can see the woman that we showed you on the screen there has two eyes right doesn't have a patch or a parrot on her shoulder that looks like that's a tough scene how could this have

actually gotten worse hurts to miss that one have actually gotten worse. Hurts to miss that one. And then here's Breen's final call. Yep. Blake made me go back and watch this. I thought you turned it off

with two... Oh, he turned it off with two minutes. I did. Yeah, I skimmed. I did too. And then Blake said, hey, you gotta get

the final call. I wanted to see their reaction. Because I feel like it's illogical what he does here. Like he sets something up, but then he says something different. Is it more illogical than pointing out that a woman with two eyes is not a woman with one eye? This crowd on its feet, the best team in basketball all year. All the work, all the sacrifice,

handling the enormous weight of massive expectations ends tonight here. It's over. Time to say it again, Boston. Anything's possible. Banner number 18 has been secured. The Celtics are NBA champions.

Do we like the odds-on favorite? Probably top three at the start of the year. The best team in basketball all year. Yeah, what you're saying is, yeah, he was building up that they had enormous expectations, and then he ends it with, anything is possible. That's – As long as you're the favorite all effing year long.

Right. I don't think anything is possible. I think they've proven that really no other team did have a chance all year long. Yeah. He wanted to shoehorn – You didn't prove doubters wrong? You didn't – He had to shoehorn the KG thing in, and that's all that was.

Which is also why Tatum did, we did it. Yeah. Trying to go viral himself, but he has not an ounce of swagger in his body. Anything is possible. Now their 18th banner. Most in NBA history. Who would have ever seen this coming? Plucky underdogs like the Yankees, the Lakers.

The Dodgers. Yeah, man. And I know I felt really confident about the Mavs reeling. Well, you did. It was probably wishful thinking, too, because what better fan base could that happen to? Because it was the worst thing that they were like the first baseball team to do it. They were down 3-0, and they came back against the Yankees.

Boston fans, I think, are the worst. Philly fans, I know, are kind of hated because they're real dicks, but Boston fans, I grew up with them always the, oh, we've had the curse of the Bambino. They were in the playoffs every other year, though, when I was a kid. I was a Cleveland Indians fan. Right. The best thing you had was they filmed a couple movies there. Yeah, they were 60 and 102.

That was their average record every year of my childhood. And Boston was in the playoffs every other year, and then they would lose in the ALCS. It's like, oh, man, see? The most downbeaten franchise in Major League history. And then all they do, the Bruins are great. The Bruins are great. Yeah, then the Patriots all of a sudden come along

and become the greatest thing ever. Yeah. And then these guys have the audacity. It's like, but it's been since 2008. Like, really? You've been in the finals six out of the last eight years, or the conference finals, anyway, six out of the last eight years. And it's like, oh, finally.

I don't want to hear it, dude. I don't want to hear it. Love the city. Hate the people. I'll take Philly people over boston people 100 times out of 100 yeah anytime they did a close-up of a fan you know going to break or whatever just they're the worst yeah and that guy's and his kids are going to the 20th parade of their life in two days you know what i'm doing Watching people not even be able to get a bag of Doritos to Corey Seeger on the back of a Dodge Ram.

In the only parade we've had in 15 years almost. Remember, Tuesday and Fridays are Patreon-only days. So to hear those full episodes, be sure you're subscribed to our Patreon for only a measly $6.90 a month. You know, that's about the price of a grande Starbucks drink right now. Almost 20 hours of extra dumb zone content or 16 ounces of overpriced caffeine. You decide. But please pick us. Okay, speaking of Patreon only, next up is a very wild ladies be trippin' edition of Today in Twitter featuring Kelly Stafford and Hawk to a Girl. This is from our Friday episode. Enjoy.

So on today's program, we should start with Today in Twitter. Why not? Let's just do it. Yeah, we're already there. We've already mentioned the Hawk to a Girl, which I swear I knew about before you guys, but go ahead. You just didn't. You just didn't. Blake, you can take the reins if you want. I was going to save Hawk

Tua as the ender. Like for the whole show? No, no, no. For today and Twitter. Oh, okay. Well then, start where you want to start. I want to start with Kelly Stafford. Because she's another female that's making her way around Twitter. Are you moaning about her?

She's a beating. You're talking about her like you're talking about almond milk. I was going to say that she was a cancer survivor. But if you guys have other ways that you want to... I feel like getting cancer maybe while you're battling it you should have the force field on us calling you a beating. It wears off. Yeah.

I've never thought about that before. You know, if you survive it then, we can go back to telling it like it is. That's really what Dominic does overall. He's not afraid to go there. Not afraid to go there. Let me ask you this.

Is it better or worse if you get it when you're a kid? So you would think if you get it when you're a kid... You probably have more longevity with it. Well, that's what I was going to say is that you would think it would wear off, but I feel like people

would be more sympathetic to you if you're like 35 and you're like, hey, I had cancer when I was six. You had to go through that in your childhood. Even though it was 30 years ago. You had to go through that in your childhood. You didn't have a normal childhood. Rather than

you get it when you're 33 and you're in remission by 36. Which is better? I think you probably won it as a kid. As far as won it based on garnering more sympathy throughout your life, yes. More force field.

So she made the round. It was important to come to that conclusion. She was on a podcast called Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Do you remember that name at all? Vaguely. In researching her, she was on The Bachelorette. Yes, yes, yes. Then that's where I knew it from.

And also, I can 100% promise you that name is related to the fact that they drink wine. Off the vine? Of course. Yeah, they're both seeded with a glass of wine. Yes. Of course. That's what that is. The episode is called Kelly Stafford Touchdowns and Tumors.

Okay, so still playing the guy a little bit. Also kind of cheap to just put tumors next to touchdowns. And really, she's only had one of those. Yeah. Although they do the, you know, we got traded. We. Yeah. She does that.

What do you think about that, Dominic, as a former athlete? When the wife. Like Josh Hamilton is the one that most famously comes to mind. when the wife like josh hamilton is the one that most famously comes to mind again with the way she is with it it's a beating yeah she's there's an over there is a we element to it but then the whole family does have to move yeah but but then there's there's a point where like you've gone too far and you're referring to we in things like you just said. We didn't throw a touchdown. Yeah. That's where it gets like... We didn't sign the $100 million

contract. No, no, no. She sucks. Yeah, absolutely. We've played audio of her in the past. Remember she threw a pretzel at somebody? Yes. At a Rams game. She had a podcast, her own podcast for a significant amount of time And I believe Dan actually

Listened to a lot of it Yeah And yeah she She was like on TMZ or something For Throwing a pretzel Well I listened to All one hour and two minutes

And thirty seconds of this That's why they give them The big bucks folks She She talked a little bit A little bit about her nursing career because she worked in the hospital for a few months and then now she's just forever a nurse so even now it's like uh she she said i'm a former nurse yeah like you're not in the marine corps like it lasts forever and like she's a quarterback's wife.

Yeah. But she's trying to put up this image. And ladies who, like, stop working after they had kids love to tell you about what they used to do. Yes. Yeah. Yes. The gallery agrees. And so, like, she even said in here, like, oh, my nursing days has really helped me be a mom. Like, what?

Because you went through nursing school once? This is the husband of a nurse who still works, who's mad that somebody else is trying to claim stolen valor of nurses. She said she quit because she had to give a guy a sponge bath. Okay, well, that feels like day one. Yeah, that just kind of feels like what you have to do. And so, yeah, she got a little upset that the guy got hard whenever he was getting a sponge bath by her, and she quit.

And then she got into plastic surgery, started working at a plastic surgery place where she only worked for a couple months. So her nursing career is non-existent. All right, let me get you the clip that is going around. Look at him defending nurses. I'm not. I just don't like when these people build themselves into something that they're not. Okay, here's what went viral.

This is a little bit of a longer clip, but you need the full context. Kelly Stafford met Matt at Georgia. She was a cheerleader. He was the quarterback. He was the quarterback at an SEC school, so he's getting to do whatever he wants. They begin to casually date, and she decides to turn the screws on him and uh this is the story that everyone's been hearing it's like this is fun i was like oh we're in a relationship this is great you know like this because that's all i

knew yeah i didn't know casual dating wait so was he trying to casually date and you were all yeah girl and i didn't know what that was so all of a sudden we you know we're kind of doing this thing and then he's like oh i see him in a bar one night and i'm like what the anyways long story short it wasn't that cute of a relationship at first i hated him i loved him i dated the backup to piss him off which worked yes he was like that'll do it he was the bad boy too like matthew's so sweet and southern gentleman and all that stuff and the backup was the complete opposite yeah yeah oh and it it upset him which it worked thankfully yes but yeah at first it was that like the pivotal moment in the relationship where he was like actually you can't be with him you need to be with me 100 he would like he would so they lived in the same dorm

because athletes lived in the same dorm and he would see my car there and so at one point he like waited and fought and followed me out and got in my car and wouldn't get out oh and he was like i was get out of my car and he was like i don't he's not right for you and i was like who you know what you can't tell me that like get on my car meanwhile he's dating like 12s out of 10s you know like he's dating god knows super out of 10s. You know what I mean? Like he's dating, God knows, supermodels. Legit. Southern supermodels, but still.

And I'm having, and it's funny because I had to like rush them. Some of them came through when I was a sophomore. I had to rush. I was like, I cannot do this right now. But anyways, it was a lot of back and forth. Did not think. I think if you ask anyone who knew us at Georgia, if they thought we would have ended up together for kids, they would have laughed their asses off. Really? I think if you ask anyone who knew us at Georgia,

if they thought we would have ended up together four kids, they would have laughed their asses off. Really? Oh, yeah. I think I would have laughed my ass off at that. That's kind of the cute part of it. Totally. Caitlyn.

That's so cute. So people are mad that she was getting it on with the backup quarterback just to make him mad. Yeah, and she's obviously targeting the starting quarterback, realizing that would be a more lucrative thing. Yeah, I wonder how that guy feels about this becoming viral this week. He hates it. I was going to say, yeah. Can we look that up?

I know who it is. Have we done that? In fact, he's made Antonio Brown's cracker of the day. Who was he? Do we know? Who cares? You know him? Yeah.

Who is it? Coach Joe Cox. He's the tight end coach at Alabama. Wow. He turned out all right. Yeah, he's doing fine. He's doing just fine. He's a bad boy? No. She's He turned out alright. He's doing just fine. He's a bad boy? No.

She's embellishing that. He may have been though. We're talking about college. Maybe compared to Matthew Stafford too. Yeah. Did you know I went to high school with Clayton Kershaw? I had never heard that. Really? So just the same high school? They graduated

four years apart or something? No, they played baseball together. Together? Together. Wow. So just the same high school? They graduated, you know, like four years apart or something? No, no, no. They played baseball together. Together? Together. Wow. On the same team? Same team.

Weren't they like pitcher-catcher? Don't they have a special bond? She banged him. She was saying right there she was banging him. She's not leaving, you know, in the morning in her car. It's pretty diabolical. And also, it feels like we've kind of changed the rules of romance from like the say anything days like i'm pretty sure right now if you just get in a woman's car

and they're like get out and you're like no uh you're going to jail probably i mean that feels like no have you seen that speaking of today on twitter there was a funny um thing going around it's probably a tiktok thing they were just like the lady explaining sexual harassment. The lady has a bunch of fillers and Botox and looks real plastic surgery-ish. No, she was kind of young. She said, here, let me show you. And SNL did something like this a while back with Tom Brady. But it was, all right, person A, he's the owner's son.

He's blah, blah, blah, and he comes up to you and says, can I stick something in you or whatever? Like really crass. And she's like, this is not sexual harassment. She's giggling. And then she's like, section B. Or she said, and he's 6'2".

Person B, he's 5'10". He's your boyfriend of the last three years. He comes and gives you flowers. This is sexual harassment. Yeah, I mean, maybe. Maybe you can still get away with it if you're QB1. If you're Matthew Stafford, yes. I still think you probably don't want to be getting in somebody's car

and not leaving when asked, but you're probably right. Maybe that one's Teflon. You guys want a preview of what this podcast sounded like? And she didn't want him to leave. She was banging his roommate or his backup just to get him to get in her car. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that QB room, though. Yeah? When that was going on.

Because that's already a pretty... It's a bad quarterback. My brother got super, super lucky that Griff was as cool as he was and the guy before him, Kevin Moore, that they were all super cool. The guy that he replaced was cool. The guy that replaced him was cool. Wait, you guys are saying a college quarterback room is just... I mean, dude.

Everybody knows that everybody wants the other guy. There's a girl factor. There's a transfer factor. There's which one of the coaches like this guy or that guy factor. Am I wrong about any of this? Absolutely.

And there's always a split. And let it be a white black thing too because then you've got half the guys. The locker room is split. Then the locker room is split because whenever the white guy does something, the white guys are rah-rah and vice versa. So that's way different than the defensive back room or the wide receivers room? No, it's quarterback because there's only one. And he's the leader.

He's in front of all of us. So it's different than any other room. And there's no rotation in the quarterback. Yeah, and we can't all shine at quarterback. One of us shines. So when he shines, it's very political. It's very like politics. It's like there's the Republicans and the Democrats.

And it's less like, hey, I got to pull for my guy, you know, whatever party I'm a part of. And yeah, it gets, and they're playing pranks on each other and doing nasty stuff. And yeah, it gets, yeah, it gets pretty, it gets pretty wild. Just tell me when you're done with this. Our love story. I love that you think it's so great it started out horrible i'm out i mean yeah we can listen to it but yeah you know and tell me their names chandler sawyer hunter and tyler you know my best friend i was telling you about her

son's name that could have been a lot worse absolutely yeah, yeah. Tyler's a fairly, I mean, that's a regular name. Chandler, Sawyer. Chandler's, you know, I mean, Hunter's, that could have been a million times worse. Yeah, they're probably a little too old to get that back. Yeah, yeah. As things are now. Ten-year version forward of Matthew and Kelly Stafford,

they would have been an X and a Y in every kid's name. Her son's name is Chandler. Wait, really? It was going to be Chandler whether it was a boy or a girl. That's the best. Yeah. Oh, that is the best. He's my godson.

Stop. Yeah, Chandler. Chandler. I mean, it's such a good name. All your names that you have, they're gender neutral because I kind of wanted all boys oh that's so hilarious slow everything down and my personal is kb stafford 89 oh you're a kb2 yeah what are we doing

you can raise my kids i'll help raise yours like let's just do it somebody's listening I listen to you now or this you're gonna force this on you oh interesting and we're like you can raise my kids I'll help raise yours like let's just do it together a podcast of mine just came out

where you should actually have her on your podcast she talked about how it's proven that women live longer if they have a community I want to go back to radio I no longer want to be

associated with this media yeah oh we can play longer form stuff whatever you want you will live longer if you have a village and a community.

They don't know what Instagram is quite yet. Oh, bless. What's the oldest? Matthew's struggling to get up. Bless. We'll be starting

to build with her. When was she born? Wow. When was she born? Is she a cancer? She was born in March. March. Why are we still playing?

Yeah, why are we still playing? I don't understand. What do we do to you earlier this week? Are you getting us back playing this? I don't understand what you're doing. I act like I know a lot, but I don't. What did we do to you earlier this week? I don't know. Aries? Are you getting us back for something? Oh, she's such an Aries.

Just kidding. I don't know anything else. All right. Talk to a girl. That's, I'm sure there's a market. I'm sure somebody's listening to it. Somebody chooses to put that on in their car as they're driving from their house to soccer practice. But what's interesting to me about it is I don't know who that is.

My wife does listen to a couple of female comedians' podcasts, but they're like professional storytellers. Like who is this friend of hers? Another rich... Caitlin Bristow? Who did you say she was? She was on The Bachelorette. On The Bachelorette. Okay, so...

So that's the natural career arc. But I can promise you... Bachelorette, the podcast host. I can promise you my wife would never listen to this. And I'll go so far as to say that none of the female listeners we have would listen to this.

And she's just on The Bachelorette? Like, she didn't win it? She might have been like a... She didn't win, but then she was the... Next season? Yeah, I think that might have been how it went down. Okay, so that's kind of high ranking. Yeah, I've heard of her, for sure.

But I just don't know... I'm so whacked that I could ruin my whole life in one week. I'm so whacked. Let me tell you something. The first one, it's going to your ribs. You should know the week. You know what's so validating? Because I'm like, you know what?

I think I'm going to quit podcasting. And my aura is like, you're just on your period. I didn't pay $6.90 for this. No, no. We have paying customers here. You guys are trying to enjoy a couple of brews? How did you work through your postpartum?

No thanks. I was just messing around. He was offering me a beer. Thank you. How did you work through your postpartum? Blake is about to catch a 67 mile an hour four seam. 71. 71.

All right. Are we thinking we're pushing 70? I didn't get to go this week because... He's not hitting 70, Dominic. My guy had a kid thing, but I will get it on the radar next week for sure. Yeah, we're not getting 70 down. I don't know if the radar will read. Seven.

Whatever. All right, so Hawk to a Girl. Uh-huh. This comes from an account called Tim and D TV. And they seem to do a lot of man on the street stuff. It's like a popular version of content now that Dallas, Texas TV has tried to do this a little bit. You just go out when people are out. you just go out when people are out.

So you go out to a bar district at midnight, at 1230, at 1 o'clock in the morning, and you just start talking to drunk people with basic prompts and then edit that together. It's not that different from like jaywalking, really. Or what was Kimmel's bit? I don't know. Kimmel had a bit that the guy Jake Bird used to do, right? Anyways, it doesn't matter.

But he would go out and ask people common questions and put their dumbest answers together. But it's really popular on YouTube right now. So I tried to find the original full video, and it's not out yet. And so they're just putting out these little teaser clips. And we have a few of them. The first one starts... I believe they're in Tennessee? Yeah, I think they're in Nashville. This looks Nashville.

Yeah. And he walks up to this girl and he begins talking to one girl. And the other, she brings in her friend. And Tim or Dee, whoever this is, recognizes that the friend is where the gold is. So here's your first introduction into Hawk to a Girl. Do you know what makes you wifey material? Me, wifey? Yeah.

Everything. Everything? Yeah. Explain, what's everything? So she's got nothing. I'm loyal. This is my wife. What makes me wifey material?

What makes her wifey material? That fat ass she got. Girl, turn around. Let me see. That fat ass she's got. Yep. recognizes okay this is where i need to ask her the questions yep okay question number two leave a message to your last body i love you pookie forever they must be doing the right thing. What can I say? Bit the cobwebs off this thing. Yep, your last body, your last person that you had relations with,

knocked the cobwebs off this thing. All right, keep it going. How do you get over a breakup? Y'all get over a breakup right now? The only way to get over one is get under another. Amen. She's got bars. Maybe. Maybe I got three. Maybe I got seven.

How many is on your roster? There's only one I won't, but until he's serious, I'mma bulls**t it. So how many you got on your roster right now? Maybe four. One. Just said one. How many you got on your roster? None. See, friends got nothing. Yeah. There's only one I won't. Yeah. There's only one I want.

Yeah. I love her. And where are we here? I think it's Nashville. Okay. Yeah. And you can tell from the videos that there's... There's no way we'll book, right?

Who? That we'll book this girl. Oh, no. Okay. She's too big already. Yeah. She's already ascended to crazy plane lady level. She's got Kelly Stafford on her show next week. She's so far above. Yeah. She's already ascended to Crazy Plain Lady level. She's got Kelly Stafford on her show next week.

She's so far above. Yeah. Crazy Plain Lady is... She's doing well. Well, she's doing well, but she's also definitely doing what I was talking about the other day, where she's trying to extend it so hard. And like Doug Townsend, I feel like still has fresh material.

You have to give Crazy Plain Lady... No, you're right. For taking her one moment where she was really negatively portrayed... Solid PR spin. ...and kind of turned it into... I don't really know what she is now, but she's at least something. I don't know what that means. I don't know.

Can you go get your something check? No, I think what you do is you sign up for OnlyFans, which is what Hawk2istGirl is going to do pretty quickly. So we'll get to that. Kind of like Shovel Girl. Yeah. So she's... Forgot about that.

And from the videos, her tongue is really blue, which is jello shots, I'm guessing. Yeah, or, you know, a lot of those bars, they have like a specialty frozen blue whatever. Okay, her friend's tongue kinda blue, hers is just all the way blue. And so she's already gotten some hits, but here is what really sends her over the top. What's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time? Oh, you gotta give him that huck, too, and spit on that thing.

Oh, you got to give him that huck, too, and spit on that thing. She's doing the motion. And she doesn't even think. One move in bed, that makes a man go crazy every time. Oh, you got to give him that huck, too, and spit on that thing. Zero hesitation. She's got the fist ready. She's got the head moving right away. And her friend, it's so funny too

like to watch her friend her friend's like no uh uh stop it like she's used to this girl just having nothing but gold yes

what's one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time oh you gotta give him that huck and spit on that. You know, I was thinking about that a lot this morning. Everybody knows that if you have a daughter, eventually they're going to be with a man or a woman, whatever.

They're going to at some point develop a sexual identity. And you just, I guess, just try not to think about it. But like, Hawk Tua lady has a dad. And like, he's probably aware that Kayla is now Hawk Tua lady on the internet. I think you'd have to be proud. She's funny. She is funny. But yeah proud she's funny she is funny but yeah she's

but she's funny for letting people know that she has a specialty oral sex move that honestly I don't even know that I really knew existed I guess I sort of did but I never heard it described so vividly like that that woman has a grandfather

did you guys see this you gotta give him that huck Like, that woman has a grandfather. Did you guys see this? You gotta give him that huck, too, and spit on that thing. She's a keeper. Hey, we got a $23 sky pack. Come on. Of course. Doug's been killing it.

Yeah. I wish we could get our interview out there. I feel like that interview should go viral. Doug? Yeah. We had him on for 25 minutes. It's just so weird, the stuff that the internet picks up. Because somebody will post one of his videos on their Twitter account. It's got 40,000 impressions or something.

We had the guy on. And he had crazy stories. Looks like we've talked about this forever. The Catch Me Outside girl. Yeah. Seven months later. Yeah.

She was on Dr. Phil and then after it hit reruns for some reason someone then put out a clip of that and that went viral and then speaking of OnlyFans

and turning something into or nothing into something like yeah she's like would you trade portfolios with her right now yes oh yeah without doubt she made like eight million dollars last year yeah cash me outside girl yeah yeah i know and so the the best part about stuff like this is these guys gave us 700 bucks well, they don't have the longevity sting,

but you're going to have to do it day in and day out. That's what we're known for. The internet remixes. Oh, yeah. I love. Somebody's already made it into a country song. That's good. That's very good.

Do you guys like Hawk Tua? Okay. Love it. Love it. I photoshopped a hawk onto two of my clothes. I don't think Dan will get this, but Jake, I hope. Do you remember the Tim McGraw song, Indian Outlaw? I'd probably know it if I heard it. Okay.

It's like, for some reason, come back recently because people don't quite know what he's saying. Interesting. Let's see if this makes sense to you. I'm an Indian outlaw. Half Cherokee and two. Talk to it. Okay.

She's a one of a kind. That made me laugh really hard. Okay. And these things all happened in 24 hours. Yeah. Right? The people were quick these days. Yeah.

Yeah. So there's Hawk to a girl. I think we could get her on like a year from now. Yeah. I think that's probably as quick as we could pull it off. We couldn't have gotten Shovel Girl right away either. Right. Well, yeah, she went to jail.

Oh, yes. She did commit a felony assault. Yeah, but like two years from now, yeah, she'll be opening up new Trader Joe's, and we could probably get her around that time. You know what they need? She'll be at the RNC. That's a great call. That one lady already pulled that off, right?

The lady that dropped the N-bomb? I'm pretty sure she's already. That checks. Yeah. The Democrats never do it. They never can get anyone. No, you know what sucks about it? Or they just wouldn't play it up?

I don't know. What's the deal? No, I mean, the Democrats fired Al Franken because he took a joke photo where he was pretending to touch boobs. And now he's just gone. Well, he resigned, yeah. Well, they made him.

Right, they pressured him into that. Nah, we suck at this. The left is terrible at it. Yeah, the right's like, we're not going to pressure you in it. Resign if you want. Don't resign. Yeah. It's why the things are the way that they are.

That is actually so healing. I swear to God, Blake. What's the other Taylor Swift quote? Don't tell y'all. You can move on. You can move past it. Do you want to hear a conversation where they're Taylor Swift quoting each other?

They absolutely did it. No. Everyone thinks I hate Taylor Swift too, so it's great. That is great. I did that so you didn't have to. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank didn't have to Thank you I appreciate that

Thank you for your service Blake Real quick before we get to viewer mail You need to hear how Chappie behaved at Nora's dance recital This from our Monday News Rockwell County Sheriff's Office Is looking for video and information to help track down A stolen trailer This trailer was stolen

From a dance studio. It contained all of the props. And let me tell you, there's a lot of props. I'm recently familiar with the props and the costumes. Oh, did you also know you have to buy them flowers?

You familiar with this bit, Rachel? Yeah. What, so... Like, I had to go to the grocery store and and my mom already had some so she got a double bouquet of roses so you went grocery store they're not selling them there i was thinking that's how they double dip that's a good idea but no i don't that's a good you ever go to one of those things? Did they have a DVD for sale? Come on, of course. Okay, yeah, because they'll set up, and they'll tell you, don't open your phone because we're going to have a DVD for sale,

and you have to buy it. Yeah. Memory. Like DVD. Where am I going to watch this? What would I put this on? My projector? Yeah, it's a... That is an interesting one.

It's all Venmo now. Yeah, it's a scam, but I am surprised nobody has set up the flower grift, but that is... We should do that. We're looking to make more money. I like it. Can I have that idea?

You need some ideas. Well, I need more money. I like it. Can I have that idea? You need some ideas. Well, I need some money. Right. Right. Just let me know in the, send me a schedule of all of the dance recitals, Jake. In the tri-county area. Just for flyer sales.

Just for flyer sales. Yeah, that's it. Yep, yep, yep. It's just a business. I'll just go raid Trader Joe's and just charge double. It is kind of funny. I think I told you this last year. So when my dad and I were swapping stories on what we'd rather be doing

than being there for another two minutes. Taking on 88 Cannon Fire fire we had some good ones on omaha beach was yeah preferred overseeing your daughter perform a dance it wasn't to see preferred overseeing her it was preferred overseeing everyone else but uh like my my dad's a he's you know he's a i wouldn't say he's like a conservative but he's certainly not what I would call progressive. He can't not laugh at a little boy dancing. I always knew he was funny. Because most classes will have you know 10 to 12 girls and

the boy who's usually honestly like a phenomenal athlete like what they're doing is phenomenally athletic he'll be a yell leader though someday but they're also wearing the male version of whatever the females are wearing and sometimes that means that they're dressed like a little bumblebee and my dad cannot handle that. He's not yet. Still not mature enough. No. He's giving me the elbow.

Hey, man. Check that out. Fucking kid's a bee. I'm like, I see it, Dad. He just can't process it. It's like Blake's grandpa with the HIV medicine commercials. I could be on Blake's golf trip right now in a Beetle Circle jerk, and I'm here watching this goddamn kid dressed as a bumblebee. Oh, man.

That extra voice you heard was Danny Bayless, who we hope to be hearing more of in the coming days and weeks, as well as later in this program. Our viewer mail of the week this week is from our Tuesday Patreon-only show with 690Megan as we have another special show announcement. Oh, let's do this. Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Uncle Hotmail. This is viewer mail.

Uncle Hotmail. Uncle Hotmail. Have you ever sent us a viewer mail, Megan? I don't think you have. No, I haven't. I'm actually really sad because I purchased a gift to bring today, and it did not arrive in time, so I'll be sending it. But it was a really cool open for business old school sign.

Oh, nice. I thought it was kind of neat. It could be good, you know, den or studio, but it is not here. Dan's a really big fan of when you tell him about something that you were going to do. Right, right, right. I need to appreciate it. I can't tell you how many things I've ordered that didn't come in on time that I just had to send back. Yeah.

Because I'm like, oh, well, there's no point in me telling Dan about this now. I'll still send it. Show me the baby. It's not here today. I'm not against it. And now you know our address. We can't fire you. Yeah, good point.

Do you want me to lead off? Go ahead. I got an interesting one from listener Adam. We were talking recently about second families. And whether or not partially does that ever happen anymore given social media and you know your phone being tracked and then i think the second part was also could woman could

a woman pull it off and he says i've got a story about a person i knew who had two lives he was living concurrently he was a professor at my college and also taught adjunct at another university in the town over about an hour away. So he would lecture three days at one school and two at the other. It was found out a few years before I got there that he not only had a long-term partner with her kids at school A, but a wife with more kids at school B. So he's teaching at the schools where he's got the two separate families.

So Monday, Wednesday, Friday kids go to that university. Tuesday, Thursday kids go to that university. They had no idea about each other and had been doing this for several years. When it was discovered, wife divorced him, but the other woman who was also a professor stayed by his side. Okay. divorced him, but the other woman, who was also a professor,

stayed by his side. Okay. He said he still has to travel to see the kids. But said, I do want you to hop on and find my phone now. Probably. You've always been against that, but I'm going to have to ask you that. He would often sleep in his office, and I would find him brushing his teeth on the

fourth floor bathroom late at night when everyone was practicing. It was a classical music school. That's exhausting. It's so exhausting. Oh, I can barely keep up with one family. During early morning lectures, he wore the same shirt as the previous day and would chug eight to ten cups of coffee during that.

Something was keeping him up at night. He was brilliant, nice guy, Canadian, and tenured at the college. Would tell stories about smoking weed during grad school in Canada in the 70s, watching the Oilers games. That doesn't really have anything to do with the rest of the story, but I did thought it sounded cool. So, anyways. He said he's a musical expert that was highly regarded around the country. Yeah, I just don't think it's worth it Yeah I don't know But you've heard

And this is probably old timey The stories about a guy that got away with that And then they don't find out Until they die Yeah Whether his mistress shows up Or it's an actual other whole family. Mm-hmm.

Which is kind of cool. So they got away with that, huh? Because like you say, when you're dead, you're dead. You don't know. Yeah. Second families. Yeah, I would not be into it. Although maybe my other family would just let me hang everything I wanted to in my...

You're not pulling this off again. My other den. No? No. This is a one of one. It's a sweet garage. It's a nice size. I mean, it's...

It could be more perfect if there was like a shower up here. I suppose. I have a few birthdays to read. Uncle Hotmail. Hopefully you find this well as I'm sending it via my far less capable email provider of Yahoo. Please wish my dad, Jeff Kenzel, happy 64th birthday.

Because of you, he has added Immaculate Grid to his daily routine. Oh. How nice. Make his day if you had a war game on today's episode from Jeff Jr. That was popular in the vans on the golf trip. Immaculate Grid. Oh, yeah? Yeah, just eight or nine of us just trying golf trip. Immaculate grid. Oh, yeah? Yeah, just eight or nine of us just trying to think.

Cardinal Philly. I would think nine guys could always get it. We got it pretty much every day. Okay. Yeah. But it was a nice little routine on the way to the course. Dude, I wish you would have called me on the day there was the Indians. I had some really obscure ones the other day.

Okay. I was so proud of it, I took a picture of it and sent it to my buddy. Not to you guys. I knew you wouldn't care. Thank you. I might so proud of it, I took a picture of it and sent it to my buddy. Not to you guys. I knew you wouldn't care. Thank you. I might like to see it. I'll send you the picture right now. And then I want you to react to Jake and tell him how cool it is.

Or tell him just how amazed you are at it. Are we doing a war game? So what you're trying to do, Jake, is you're trying to get the most obscure guys. You want the lowest score you can possibly get. Kind of like in golf. It's like the opposite of a stableford. I'm well aware.

I'll send it to both of you guys so you can be really impressed. Please don't. One of the guys you've heard of on this. It said 10 plus win season for the Indians. Neil Heaton. 0.1%. That's pretty badass, isn't it? Yeah.

Once I guessed, because it was a Washington National, or no, it was a Mets somebody. And I had Bassick on there. And Bassick turned out like a.001%, and I texted him about it, and he was sad. He's like, oh, man, I'm that spare. Played shortstop for one game, Felix Furman. Furmeen. Furmeen, born outside the U.S., 50 states.

Do you guys think this is good stuff? You like this? Okay. Castillo is another point-winner. Wow. Carmelo Castillo. He was on the Indians. You killed it.

Thanks, man. That's immaculate. Uncle Lieberman, it's my buddy, day one DF Trey, a.k.a. Troy Rivas' Larry Bird minus Russell Westbrook birthday. Isn't he zero? I think so. He did not get woken up in a special way because he's too busy mourning the Mavs season ending. His leaders are Video Man's Off-Mic Laughs, Jake's Sports Bet Nibbles, and the Tommy Gunn AIDS scene in Rocky V.

We really should make you watch that movie. More Blake. Or we should remake it, one or the other. More Blake, except when he loses sodes. From Landry Atkinson. Good friend of mine. Big contributor to the group chat. He says he's DF number 35.

Impressive. Wow. Kevin Durant. Who did we meet the other day? And did they say it on the podcast that they thought DF meant fan? F meant fan. She did not say that on the podcast, no.

Okay. Which it could. Yeah. The Great Landry. It's because, you know, we got fans, bro. Yeah. Bracket Dan, my birthday is on Business Wednesday tomorrow. Mad respect, though, for you guys taking Juneteenth off.

Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I'm not a fan of the random player birthday to say how old I am so I'll say I'm 42 you're not a fan either no I hate it this is Jackie Robinson birthday

I just like oh wow on Juneteenth incredible it really is I just like, ooh, wow. On Juneteenth. On Juneteenth. Incredible. It really is. He ends with Skibidi. Skibidi.

What does that mean? Is that something from some show? How do you spell it? S-K-I-B-I-D-I. Skibidi. Skibidi. Skibidi. From James Milby Milburn. Anybody?

Nobody? Everyone in here is too old. Not like a soccer thing? There is a Today article that says, Why does your teen say Skibidi? Okay. I'm interested. Way too old.

What does it mean? It can help you pick up the young chicks. I want to walk hand in hand with all of you into the ocean. Are you reading? It doesn't make any sense. You're researching. It says the most interesting thing about the word, and I don't even know if I'm saying this correctly,

skibidi, is that unlike a regular word, it doesn't have a set definition, but can just be used as an adjective anywhere. Is that interesting? It's not that interesting to me. And finally... Yeah, I hate it here too.

I just want to devolve back into salt. It's just... Let's just all be done. The dinosaurs had it right. This is from somebody called poonslayer69. Add that to your trim list. Is their email bracket Dan? He says, how many times are we going to be okay with Jake talking about Hot Pockets?

It's been a minimum of three podcasts that he's brought these up. Did you bring it up again? It's happened three times, and they've all been in pretty passing mention. Clearly, he wants to talk about Hot Pockets. mentioned so clearly he wants to talk about hot pockets maybe do a daily uh segment i don't know let him cook at least then he will stop bringing up that he's eating free hot pockets left in a fridge from the last evicted tenants also blake is a little cucky, but I'm into it. Same. Sweet.

Same. Yeah, so my last one here, this comes to us from our friend Matt Stubbs, who was at Phillip's office with us last week. He sent me a link to the 2024 Rangers theme nights. Have you looked at these? No.

So, like, you're aware of the... We knew about the Dude Perfect night. Wait. Yeah, we're in. Can we say it? It's, like, the link is not ready to go just yet. We're hammering out some details,

but it's gonna happen. There's gonna be a dumb zone theme night. Okay. What? A dumb zone day at the ballpark. September 19th. What is all this news? Do people get a discount? Yeah. This is incredible. But yeah.

Once the link is ready to go, we'll fire it out. But yeah. September 19th is the day game. 1.35 against the Blue Jays. Will more than five people show up? Yes. Four right here. Four right here. And it's the day before my birthday, so now he returns the favor.

Listen to you dropping in your birthday. Now we're going to have to... Mark that down. This is the segment where we do that. We're going to have to say, oh man, Megan, I had something ordered for you, but it just didn't come in the right time. I'll ship it. So they've got like Dallas Cowboys City Connect Jersey night.

That's actually tonight. They've got Shark Week night. Okay. Why did the only woman here laugh that hard? What do they give out? Tampons. I don't know. Okay.

All right. Yeah. What was your nickname for having a period? Did you have one? No. I mean, yes, I had one. But no, just time of the month. I don't know.

Not if you had a period. I figured you did. No, like some ladies will say Aunt Flo. We do Shark Week. Aunt Flo's coming to visit. There was no euphemism. It was just... No, just that time.

People could just tell. Yeah, they knew to stay away. So there's Harry Potter Night. That's already sold out. Dude Perfect Night, as I mentioned, is July 19th. When is Optic Night? That's not on here, Blake. But I do... I mean, they've done it... Oh, you know what? It is on here. I didn't go that far down. It's not on here, Blake. But I do...

I mean, they've done it... Oh, you know what? It is on here. I didn't go that far down. It's September 2nd. Okay. They did it... I know they did it last year.

But here's the weirdest one. There's something called... Preston and Brianna at the park. Do you know what this is? Do you know what it is? No. Blake? Is it like somebody getting married?

I will read you this description for Sunday, July 7th. Join us as we welcome our favorite YouTube couple to Globe Life Field on Sunday, July 7th. Be in your seats just before the game to hear Brianna sing the national anthem. Theme night tickets purchased through this offer come with the choice of a custom Preston or Brianna sing the national anthem. Theme night tickets purchased through this offer come with the choice of a custom Preston or Brianna Texas Rangers jersey. So, of course, I had no idea what this was. I look it up, and yeah, they've got like, I don't know. It's 5.6 million YouTube subscribers.

Wow. And they live here, apparently? I haven't been able to figure that out yet, but they must. They don't have a Wikipedia page, but they do have a YouTube page. Man, they look annoying. They look so annoying. They don't have a Wikipedia page, but they have five point...

Yeah. Is Wikipedia for the olds? I think so. Do they look like fun? Preston looks horrible. She rose to fame for playing games like Minecraft, which she uploads on her channel, Brianna Plays. It does say that she was born in Wichita Falls. Can any halfway decent blonde get a million followers?

If you play video games, yeah. Something low-cut. get a million followers? If you play video games, yeah. Is that a very... Something low-cut? Is that a very rare scene to have semi-hot girl in your video game world? Like, does everybody go nuts over them? Seems like it works.

There's a Halo community of females. Yeah. And they have tournaments. Just the females? Yeah. Like, that doesn't seem equality. It's like the WNBA. Yeah.

Of gaming. Why not? But you would think of gaming, why would it have to be gender, like chess, why is that gender specific? Don't know, but it always has been. Could we get our own team? There's smaller cranium Despite the fact that every single study Ever has shown that women

Are more intelligent than men Yeah except for one week a month Yeah it's shark week That's right there you go The dumb zone day at the ballpark will be on Thursday September 19th It's a 1.35 first pitch so if you can take a half day or full day or whatever you with normal jobs can do, come join us.

We'll have a link to purchase tickets out there soon, but we'd love to see you out there. One quick story before we slide into our second sports segment of the episode. I had to throw in here how Danny accidentally smoked meth. This is from our Monday, June 17th open. Enjoy. Over on the couch, Danny Bayless, the great Danny Bayless. Pull my audio up.

Why am I not up? Why is there no snare in my headphones? Danny Bayless. He stands at 6'4", and previously delivered pizza. He once smoked drugs that made him sleep for 30 straight hours. Let's talk about that. He's the Knock City Knocker. He's a state champion.

He can still produce children. And any team that selects him will probably not miss him when he's gone. Danny Bayless, Knock City. Used to deliver pizza. Could be delivering pizza. Sure. Sure. Why not?

Why not? Yeah, I think there was a Cowboys cheerleader involved or something. Yeah, there was, Jake. You're the one who just said, let's talk about it. I'm fine with talking about it. I feel like we can do whatever we want here. We absolutely can. Like, literally, we can say what we want. One time, Danny smoked meth and forgot what day

it was. I didn't smoke meth. I didn't smoke it. Do you really want to hear this story? Have you done meth? One time. Wow. And It was an accident Yeah Yeah This is a way more common story

Kind of a Ron Washington sitch Yeah This actually was This is actually a way more common story than you think it is then Okay, real quick The reason I did this was I worked at Pizza Inn And there was a waitress that worked there

Who was adorable and she was also a dallas cowboy cheerleader now you ask why would a dallas cowboy cheerleader be working at pizza inn in 1988 or 87 well at the time the requirements to be a cheerleader were you had to be a full-time student or you had to have a full-time job she had some legal problems maybe a little bit of a history yep and it prohibited her from pursuing a higher education so she decided to sling pizzas full-time uh as her you know full-time job to meet the requirements to be a cheerleader and one night she asked if i wanted to go hang out and i'm like yes i do so we hung out and she recommended that we go to this dude's house that's always great stuff yep and me being a doe-eyed 19 year old that had never really done anything in life

was about to do cocaine for the first time yes with a cowboy cheerleader with a cowboy cheerleader who says no she could have probably had me injecting fentanyl into my arm that you would have been like i would have yes absolutely give it a go of course i would why not yep uh and it ended up not being cocaine. It was crystal meth. Yep. I stayed up for, I believe, about 30 hours. Then I slept for another 30 hours. It's in the open.

I lost an entire day of my life because of the sleep. If you sleep that long, your body really needs it. It didn't need it. That's what we tell. And that's the only thing that I've ever put up my nose. I've never done for real. I never got to do cocaine. Yeah.

Because I decided at that moment I'm never doing it anymore. Skip that stage. Absolutely. I know a lot of people that do cocaine. You're here. In this room. But the funny, the reason I knew that I lost a day of work is because I lost a day of my life as I was walking into my job and there was a guy walking up at the same

time. And I said, what are you doing here? It's not your day to work. And he goes, I'm actually filling in for you. I'm like, why you missed a day of work?

No, I was here yesterday. He goes, what's wrong with you? I go, no, I came to work and hung out with Liz. of work. No, I was here yesterday. He goes, what's wrong with you? I go, no, I came to work and hung out with Liz. He goes, no, that was two days ago. So I missed, I skipped a day of work and didn't call anybody because I was asleep. Drugs, don't do them.

Okay. So yeah, game five is tonight. We're going to talk. I got so many more stories just like that one, whenever you're ready. Extensively, game five is tonight. We're going to talk. I got so many more stories just like that one whenever you're ready. Extensively about game five. Yeah, late 80s pizza delivery when you're 20. Imagine that produced. I've seen some videos regarding pizza delivery, guys.

Seems great. Like you're just hoping she doesn't have money. Wait. How are we going to complete this? How are we going to complete this? How are we going to settle this? Make sure you caught our entire show from Monday as Danny sat in with us all day, and it was a blast. Let's get to the news.

The Dumb Zone news from Tuesday, June 18th. Again, the female voice you hear is 690 Megan, who has somehow been added to our time capsule list now because of a claim she makes in this segment. Who knew 690s had this kind of power? News? Yeah, sure. Let's do it. Here's Jay with the Dumb Zone News. Not a great day today for pop star Justin Timberlake.

Not so great. He was charged early this morning with driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons. Which is something I know exists, but I don't really know what it is. Like they'll talk about it on TV shows.

I'm going to say... I know it's in New York, but... Excellent. I was going to say East Coast. Yeah. I just don't know... Because you do hear about rich people. Yeah. They go to the Hamptons. Yeah. Because you do hear about rich people. They go to the Hamptons. Yeah. Will they ever let us into the Hamptons? Absolutely not.

You've already got camp credentials and a dumb zone theme night. Quit while you're ahead. It's not getting better than today, bud. No chance. He was driving his 2025 BMW around 1230 a.m. when an officer stopped him and determined he was intoxicated. Eyes bloodshot, glassy, strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. And I've seen the photo of him leaving, and it's tough to see. I love him personally.

It feels like he had his time where he was just It's tough to see. I love him, personally. And it's just... It feels like he had his time where he was just killing everything. Oh, yeah. You mean, like, professionally? Yeah, yeah. He definitely was... Top of the charts. The it guy.

Banging whoever he wants. He's really funny. He's been married for, like, 20 years. Oh, he was? Oh, he's married to Jessica Biel. Married from 7th Heaven. I'm pretty sure he's still married. Oh, he was? Oh, he's married to Jessica Biel. Married from 7th Heaven. I'm pretty sure he's still married. Oh, okay.

Yeah, they are. I thought he deflowered Brittany or something like that. That was a long time ago. And I do think there are like some pretty questionable situations around that. Like I... Remember Hannah Lorson? Yes. She wrote a book and kind of, I think, shared some of that.

I didn't read it, but... Is that on Blake's book club? There's no way she wrote it. Sorry. Someone wrote it for her. Yeah. Is that in a Kemp Spin list? That Brittany had an abortion?

Oh. Is that a Kemp Spin? It's something she did that's legal. I simply convey the information, and then I let the ball play where it lies. But yeah, I mean, 43 months. You can't be getting a DUI, DWI

when you're a billionaire. Not billionaire, but super, super rich. Just have somebody drive you. See, that's the thing though. Everybody says that, I know. If you have a wife, she might not be cool about it. If you're like, hey, I'm Justin Timberlake

and I can't be busted, so I got wasted and I got an Uber home or something. Yeah, that's probably true. And you still have a wife, no matter who you are, and probably especially if you're both kind of famous,

that's not going to help. If he had some spare wife that nobody knew, it might help. Leverage plays a little different. Yeah. The FBI has arrested a man in Fort Worth who robbed a bank. That normally is not that compelling of a story.

This occurred back on June 6th. But the funny part about this one is the guy's carrying a very small child when he robbed the bank. It's happening at Mineral Wells. Wait, they arrested him, you said? Yeah. Or they just got away? Okay.

Rams. That a boy. You're back. He knew it. Yeah, yeah no he's high school sports guy so the robbery occurred on June 6th the arrest just

occurred yesterday oh so you know that's a lot of lag time it is almost two weeks yeah I wonder if he had

spent a ton of time I don't know if I can show you guys he's literally just the cost of child care right now yeah you do show you guys. He's literally just kidding. The cost of childcare right now? Yeah. You do what you got to do.

That's why he's there. That's a great point. That is a great point. Look, I got to go to work. Yeah. Bring your kid to work. And today work is running this bad. You don't want to leave him in the car. That's dangerous.

Hot, hot summer. Can't do that. Can't do that. Who amongst us? You know the plan was the kid to walk in with him, and then they didn't cooperate, so he's got to pick him up. It's not going to go according to plan. Yeah, for sure.

It does say that he came in to the bank. This is a confusing note to me. It's a first convenience bank. Oh, okay, my bad. It's in a Walmart. That's why I was confused because it says that he came up with the kid in the shopping cart.

And then when he got the money, he pushed the kid out and picked him up. Checked his receipt. Man, that is a... You know what's weird is I somehow escaped, I think, ever doing this with Nora. Not robbing a bank, but putting her in a shopping cart.

Really? I guess just my wife was a lot more available at the time or something, but I've done it with Carter probably five times the past month. Do you have one of the things, the cloth things that fit into the cart so they don't sit on the dirty cart? I'm pretty sure we had one for Nora, but with him, we're just like, come on. Same. Yeah.

Same. Second kid. Yeah. Germs. No, that's been a hack for me. Put him in there with a couple toys. Buys you a good 20 minutes or so. Yeah.

Or a snack. Open something at Target. Just, yep. Your dad would let you guys just get some food, right? My dad would just leave me in the car. Well, that was back in the days of samples. Okay. God, I loved samples.

What do you think about the alcohol samples? It's weird, right? Like I saw – I was at Central Market the other day. There's a line of three people at like 11 a.m. I saw a good – And they all wanted to drink. I saw a good buddy of mine who was at one of our 690 remotes.

He's a local grapevine dad. I don't know if he wants his name out here or not, so I won't say it. But I was grocery shopping at the Kroger in Southlake, and he was doing the same. It was noon, 1230, and him and his wife had a huge cart of groceries, and they both sampled the Prosecco or something. He's like, oh, that's good. I'm like, yeah, I just don't know that I can do that right now. Yeah, it seems odd.

But yeah, the kid in the cart thing, my kid is no longer willing to just sit. Do you do the race car cart? I have. I did it a couple. Not every place has that. They only have like one or two. Yeah. Yeah.

Also, are your kids obsessed with Target? Obsessed. What happened there? Obsessed. Yeah. Because they know every time they go, they get something. There's a big toy aisle. Yeah.

And then you know where you got to take them is the $2 aisle or whatever. They don't know the difference. Yeah, of course. Huge. But like TC, again, to reference TC, I don't think that was actually on the podcast. He was telling me like he'll take Iz like four times a week. Just to Target. Yeah.

Maybe that's the new mall because I used to just go to the mall. Yeah, and you might have to spend $2 on an item, and that's it. But you can kill the whole day? Yeah, kill a couple hours. Kill an hour. The toy aisles, there's, yeah,

how many different aisles of toys are there? You can just kind of walk up and down? Yeah. Not a lot of traffic in there. Especially at the right time. The book area, there's a kid book area, maybe just kind of hole up over there.

So my last story. This is very... The panty area. The very popular and highly trafficked panty area. Yeah, the chicks in there. They're like, oh, single dad. Oh. You're caring for your son. That's so...

What a great guy. But why are you in the panty area with your son? So I think this is a bad idea because anytime a company tries to sort of reverse engineer a model. That's where you just let him go and walk by himself and act like you can't find your son. Yep. And now here, oh my, oh. In the panties. I end up in the changing room. What are you doing? What are you here? How's it going? And now here. Oh, my God. Oh. In the panties. I end up in the changing room.

What are you doing? What do you hear? How's it going? Oh, sorry. Okay. Next story. Start over. Yeah.

So Netflix. I was thinking about panties. Netflix has a concept that they are trying to launch with physical locations. So they said in a news release today that they have development plans for one in Philadelphia and one at the Galleria in Dallas for an experiential entertainment venue that will bring some of their, quote, most beloved titles to life. Like a theater? I don't think so.

Are we describing a movie theater? I think we've already done that. Are we describing a movie theater? I think we've already done that. There's a giant... See it. Bigger than a TV. Got seats. We got seats.

And snacks. All the stuff you have at home. Fountain drinks. We're going to have all that. It's incredible. But honestly, I don't really even think it's that. I think it's part theater, but also you can... I'll just read you the press release because it's hilarious.

Building on previous Netflix live experiences for Bridgerton, Money Heist, Stranger Things, Squid Game, and Netflix Bites, Netflix House will go one step further and create an unforgettable venue to explore your favorite Netflix stories and characters beyond the screen year round. So you can go buy clothes from the shows. Okay, like a Squid Game outfit? I was around Halloween time. Smoke Monster's famous

t-shirt from when she worked at Blockbuster? From Stranger Things. Okay. I don't know what you're saying there. You're now making stuff up, right? Yeah. Okay. Because I was like,

wait, when did she... Well, that's the thing about that show. It just reminded me of when I was growing up in the 80s. She worked in the mall. Her name was also Eleven.

I was making fun of two shows you like at the same time. Right, I know, I know, I know. From the press release, at Netflix House, you can enjoy regularly... They had the upside down. Updated immersive experiences, indulge in retail therapy, and get a taste, literally,

of your favorite Netflix series and films through unique food and drink offerings. So, I don't know. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Feels like it's very ambitious. Like, you got a good thing going here where people just pay money to watch their shit on television. And they just have to give all of it to money. So it's like a merch store, maybe?

I think they're going to actually play, like if they have first release films, you can watch them there, as opposed to giving them to Sony or AMC or whatever. But you can also go buy like a corset from Bridgerton or whatever. This seems like it should be a kid's thing, because if you're telling me this was a bluey thing,

and like Brooks could go take his picture with McKenzie or something, then yeah. Yeah, I was thinking a camp. You talked about camp the other day where kids go experience it. That seems better. A permanent location seems, like I said, very ambitious. Even the bluey thing, it travels. And then they rotate different things you can take your kid to through there. Setting up a permanent Netflix location at the Galleria seems...

Maybe it rotates, like what the theme is? I don't know. One year. That's my... You're giving it one year? One year. Mark that down. Okay.

A lot of money behind it. Hell yeah. You pay $6.90, you get to tell Blake what he's going to do. There's your news. That's it for today. money behind it. Hell yeah. You pay $6.90, you get to tell Blake what he's going to do. There's your news. That's it for today. I love it. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe.

All right. Almost there. We'll end with a little today in history, but wanted to make sure everyone heard this nonsense. On our Thursday live show, Jake answered the question, if you could ask your dead grandparents one question, what would it be? Born on this day, now dead.

Come posy. I swear this guy comes up six times a year. Yeah. It's like the first hit. Yeah. Debut. Birth. Death. Now his full name was Cumberland

yep do you feel like people didn't call it cum back then just like today you know yeah they called it chism

just like like there's no Richards being called dick anymore correct I always thought it was great when my I had an uncle named dick and it was like Like, there's no Richards being called Dick anymore, correct? I always thought it was great when I had an uncle named Dick, and it was like, and he kind of was. Mm-hmm.

It just worked. Yeah. But I never knew a kid named Dick. But I would imagine if you grew up in the 60s, you knew a bunch of dicks. Yeah. You know? Yeah, and I don't know that, like, did they think it was funny at the time or not? There's no way that when Cumberland Posey was out there playing with the boys that people were calling semen cum.

Right. Wonder what they were calling it back then. You should ask your grandma. Seed. They're all dead. You should ask your grandma. Seed. They're all dead. Get a Ouija board. A Ouija board? If you had the technology, yeah, that's the question you'd want to ask.

Go to the palm reader or whatever In New Orleans Be like I want to raise my grandma Okay yeah let's do this And let's Grandma what did you use to call cum? Yeah Jeez

Died on this day In our final segment of this show to be named later dance today in history from monday june 17th as we have three different kemp spins inside this one segment see if you can catch it today is monday june 17th it's the i don't usually tell you what day of the year it is but it's the 169th day of the year. How exciting is that? It's super exciting. On this day in 1928, Amelia Earhart

became the first woman to make a transatlantic flight as a passenger. That's the one that drove me insane. Go ahead and reduce the importance of this uh monumental occasion jake well well she wasn't she didn't pilot the flight she did in the future yeah but this one when it was included in my daughter's book of women leaders throughout history this is the first thing that they put on the note and i remember reading it being like so you were basically a flight attendant you didn't fly the plane is that kind of like the first sorry rachel the first guy to scale mount everest yeah like he had a sherpa with him probably more than who had

been up and down a dozen times already yeah like the it's exactly the same as when uh like people came to america and thought they had discovered it. So they're in this. So here's the author's problem. The author is like, I just named this book Ten Great Women, and I'm trying to find the ten. Oh, my God. Yeah. You're going to have to cast a wide net in.

I mean, I got Harriet Tubman. Yep. I got Rosa Parks. See, the other thing, it was funny, too, because they included Hillary. Geraldine Ferraro. They included Hillary. And I was like, yeah, most known for losing the most winnable election of all time. Yeah, even Biden.

Your fuck-ups resulted in Donald Trump? They hated you more than him. Yeah, how Biden. Your fuck-ups resulted in Donald Trump? They hated you more than him. Yeah, how is that possible? And that was in the book. It's like, she ran for president. I'm like, well, that didn't go well. At all. I'd have put Monica Lewinsky in there.

You should. For saving that dress. On this day in 1994... Also, it's funny that Amelia Earhart died because she got lost. Oh, is that right? It's pretty much true. Like she wouldn't ask for directions? On this day in 1994, after leading police on a slow chase

on Southern California freeways, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with murder in the slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. That was a day-long ordeal, even after he got back to Rockingham. It took him like three hours to get out of the fucking car. Yeah. But. Me and Marcus Allen went over to see Nicole. He was found not guilty, so.

It's true. What? He was found not guilty so like it's true what he was found not guilty yeah that's true how are you failing me on have you have you done a tour of that area before jake i've not i was curious if you ever walked over in that in those neighborhoods now did they tear down nicole's house or is it still there oh yeah i yeah. I wonder how you haven't been there. I'm pretty sure they toured. Yeah, because we did see it on the TMZ tour, the dreaded TMZ tour that I went on. It was great. Yeah.

On this day in the year 2000, I tried to do a Conan real quick. I feel like you killed it. You absolutely killed it. Chuck Knobloch of the Yankees. Whew. I know where this is headed. Had a wild throw. His 13th error of the season.

He had the yips. Something happened to him. But it went into the stands over the dugout and hit Keith Olbermann's mom in the face. It's a really funny historical mad lib that has always tickled me a little bit. Because I don't really want to hit anybody's mom in the face with a baseball, but if there

were a list of people, Keith Olbermann would be on it. See, that's your moral failing right there. Or Hitler. I would hit Keith Olbermann's mom in the face with a baseball before Hitler's mom. Yeah, not a fan. I would hit Keith Olbermann's mom in the face with a baseball before Hitler's mom. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Not a fan. Famous wedding on this day in 1977. Joe Biden married Dr. Jill Jacobs. I don't know if she was a doctor. She was 26. He was 34. That's in play.

That's totally fine. She was 26? Yeah. He was 34. He was 34. That's in play. That's totally fine. She was 26? Yeah. He was 34. He was 34. Yuck. He's a good man. He's just dying in public.

On this, like, see, today's birthdays, Amari Cooper is 30? 30. That just feels like, dude, he's been around forever. Like when they moved on from him, he was 27. Drafted at the age of 15. No, I think you've exaggerated the story just a little bit, but you're on the right track. Former Mav Popeye Jones, 54. Big fan as a kid.

Isn't his son an NHL player? He is, Seth Jones, 54? Big fan as a kid. Isn't his son an NHL player? He is, Seth Jones. Yeah. Who? Former Indian Joe Charbonneau is 69. Do you have a history? He was Rookie of the Year when I was a little kid.

And he was wild. The big thing with him was he could open a beer bottle with his eye socket. Golly. Somehow that's extremely Cleveland, even though I imagine this person is not from Cleveland. And I think he was out of the game within a couple of years. No way.

And, in fact, he was a minor league player for the Buffalo Bisons when they filmed the movie The Natural. Okay. And he was one of Robert Redford's teammates. Those are some super good facts. You're going to impress a lot of people at parties this week, Dan. Venus Williams is 44. She's the not hot

Williams sister Not true Barry Manilow is 81 Don't get it Never got it Newt Gingrich is 81 Divorced It's on the list already Blake

So you don't have to worry about it I'd still like to read it He disputes this But The report was Is the phone one for you? I love this one. He informed his wife that he would be leaving her at the hospital while she was dealing with cancer.

So he went to the hospital to tell her, like, hey, doesn't look like this thing's turning around on you. So I'm going to get out now, and I want you to know, which is a real dick move. I was going to say, though, that he went to the hospital. That's something good. Let's go silver lining. Dan's more of a glass half full guy. He could have just written her a note.

And what's she going to do if she gets mad? She's not going to chase after you. No. No, I think she was in poor health at the time, Danny. She'd have to carry that rack with her. Should he have just cheated on her and not

forced her? Yes. 100%. He should have just done it, done whatever he was going to do anyways. Yeah, why go through telling him? Plus the attorney fees? Yeah. Bad move, Newt. Thank you. I convince you that Newt Gingrich might be a bad guy.

Yeah, just because it's just not logical. Joe Piscopo is 73. John Grease is 67. He is Uncle Rico. Wow. Not much else. He's been in a million things For real

Yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah You're right I actually remember looking this up Somewhat recently It's the damn Show that's been really popular recently That he was in

Oh White Lotus White Lotus yeah Great That's a fun show Jake I've seen it I've actually

That is one I actually did watch Trucking through the bear right now too buddy I'm loving it Oh you're going season two huh Yeah I'm seen it. That is one I actually did watch. Trucking through the bear right now, too, buddy. I'm loving it. Oh, you're going season two, huh? Yeah. I'm loving it. Where are you at? Midway.

Okay. I think the guy in the Godfather show I'm watching, the author, the lead guy kind of has a face like the lead guy in the bear. Kind of a smushy. Yeah. A little bit of a smushy. Yeah, I mean. A little bit of a smush face. I do agree with you that in general, there are like 10 types of faces for each race. Please expound.

Take all the time you need. Pay attention and you'll know what I mean. For each race, there's like 10 different... I see people sometimes and I'm like, that guy looks like Blake. He doesn't really look like Blake. He just has the same type of face as Blake. Or Dan.

Or me. And I think it happens with women too. Now that this information is out there in the world, you're all going to be hearing a lot more and more about it in the coming days and weeks. But you're basically describing what I'm talking about. Miles Teller and Jeremy whatever don't really look alike, but they have like a similar face.

Right. They both, yes. So there's something to what I'm saying. Like Danny and I kind of have the same general structure of face. I mean, look, there's only so many options. Danny and I kind of have the same general structure of face. I mean, look, there's only so many options. Unless you're deformed, there's two eyes, there's a nose, there's a mouth. You've got to look at these two actors side by side and you'll understand.

Eventually, you're going to get some similarities because there's probably a finite number of ways you can configure these things. Did you see the... Before you start seeing redundancies, right, Jake? Yes, and I'm the one who's brave enough to have pointed that out. You're almost saying that there's like 10 different templates, though. Yes, that's exactly what I. Like there's 10 stamps. Yes. Like building a house.

Yes. Like, did you see the chick online that looks exactly like Russell Westbrook? No. Did anybody see that? No. Search it, girl Russell Westbrook. You're going anybody see that? No. Search it. Girl Russell Westbrook. You're going to go nuts. I'm going to go nuts.

I can't wait to watch. You are. And I'm saying that for Blake, the guy who doesn't go nuts over anything. Thank you. Bobby Farrelly is 66 of the brothers. Thomas Hayden Church is 64 From Sideways Yeah Seems like a cool dude

Yeah he does Greg Kinnear is 61 From the Soup Or Talk Soup He did that show? I don't know that Was he the first to do it? He might have been the orig

Will Forte is 54 Hilarious Awesome I don't know that. Was he the first to do it? He might have been the original. Will Forte is 54. Hilarious. Awesome. Yeah. Kendrick Lamar, 37. Damn. Remember when you introduced me to him, Jake?

That's right. I was like, oh, my God, this is amazing. My daughter's really into, I think I told you guys this, but she's really into They Not Like Us. It's like her favorite song right now It's not that interesting of a note, really Better just move on Take it, Dan I'm searching for the female Russell Westbrook Yeah, I couldn't figure either

Try on Twitter There you go, yeah Holy shit. Did I say it? Are you going nuts, Blake? Yeah, she looks like she could brick a couple threes on you. This lady just wrecked my team's cap sheet. She looks exactly like Russell Westbrook.

What's going on with her? It's a deep fake. Okay. It is? That was was i don't want to hear that dan got ball sacked i'm just very glad don't give me the original she's white she looks nothing like russell westbrook nope damn it i got ball sack. Dude, who sits down and sees this video and says, let me make her into Russell Westbrook?

Listen, I'm worried about myself. I'm worried about where society is headed when it comes to my daughters. But I am real worried about him. Who, Dan? Yeah. That's awesome. If we're going to keep working together for the next handful of years. I've been ball sacked less than you lately.

That is, okay, lately you might have made the window small enough, but this stuff, this deep fake stuff, this AI stuff, I think you're in trouble. You can see the cheekbones, though. Yeah, you can see where somebody originally thought. Okay, but Jake, let's go back to step one when he thought the Brady jugs video was real. Dude. Or the Brady hole-in-one. Okay.

It's not that it was Tom Brady. It's that it's a jug machine. It doesn't work backwards. You guys don't even know about the football machine. It can't fire off a reverse switch. He's so accurate. And how about this For some full circle Jerry Falwell Jr. is 62

Does he have a chemspin? Moral He had some moral failings Yeah Quite a few Manny Wasn't his name Manny? The pool boy?

That sounds right Born on this day now dead Art Bell Don't doubt me Oh man He was ahead of his time wasn't he great i've read a book of his i used to listen to him all the time driving back and forth from san marcos he moved to like manila is that right video man okay but he was doing his show

from like the Philippines or something at some point. What to escape the feds? I mean he would definitely sell it that way of like I know too much. I've got to leave the United States. And you were like he does know a lot so that makes sense. This checks out.

His show is so good, man. So good. You just sit there by himself. I'm sad I was never a listener. And talk. The theater of, oh, God, it was good. Also born on this day, now dead, George Cormack. He invented Wheaties.

Pretty. Ruth Wakefield. Spare, if I'm being honest. Yeah. The first chocolate chip cookie, it says here. Ruth Wakefield, she invented the first chocolate chip cookie, it says here. Ruth Wakefield. Didn't both of those things exist independently? Yeah.

Ruth is on one again. She's putting chocolate chips in cookies now. Yeah. Lost her damn mind. And Otto Hitler, he is Adolf's brother. Who I would not hit with a baseball. Died on this day, still dead. I forgot Rachel's a member of the tribe,

and that's why all this has landed. Keith Olbermann is a bad person, but for Rachel, I would hit Hitler's mom with a baseball instead of his mom. You've really changed your tune in about 15 minutes. That's how it goes. Forget who you're around sometimes. instead of his mom. You've really changed your tune in about 15 minutes. Yep. That's how it goes. Forget who you're around sometimes.

Died on this day, still dead. The women jokes all still stay. In 1631, Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal named after her. She died during childbirth. She was 38 years old. She was delivering her 14th child. That was a really weird sequence of things when you said she died during childbirth. She was 38 years old. I was like thinking that she had gestated.

How does someone die during childbirth despite being 38? 14th? Yeah, I'd be like, I'm trying to do the math here. I don't think I ever knew that that was named after anyone. That's interesting. Her death was ruled as a suicide. I'm out. You're just like, I'm out.

Died on this day in 2015. John David Crowe. The Aggie great. So they say. I'm sure he never played against the black man. It's unlikely. Died on this day in 2012, Rodney King. Died on this day in 2016, Ron Lester.

You ever been beaten down by him? I have, and it was one of those moments. It's probably very similar to Mel Hall with you outside of the pedo stuff where you would be blown away that you could meet this person as an adult and then they won't stop talking to you and you just want to get away from them because he was Billy Bob from Varsity Blues.

I don't know why I said it weird like that. From Varsity Blues. Billy Bob. Billy Bob. From Varsity Blues. From Varsity Blues. And yeah, we had him in studio and then he did a screening for his movie, for Varsity Blues and his movie, which I believe he termed a faith-based racing action comedy.

And then he did a Q&A afterward, and it was very clear that the only people in the audience who were asking questions were friends that he had brought, which was... I have no idea who this dude is. Billy Bob? You've never seen Varsity Blues? No. You would love it. You mean Varsity Blues. Growing up where you grew up. Varsity Blues.

Playing a little 1A ball. You would love it. Is James Van Der Beek in it? Oh, yeah. Oh, I'll definitely watch it then. It's a great movie. He's a middle-aged snack. Paul Walker's in it.

And finally died on this day. Well, died on this day, still dead. It's Eugene Weldman. Weldman. So he was the last person to be publicly guillotined. Holy. In France. I think that was filmed.

In what year was... Well, Danny just gave a hint. Oh. So that might have been... He ruined it. I would have said like 1900. Okay. Yeah, I would have thought early 1800s.

It feels like they're more progressive over there. Like they were ending slavery earlier than us. Yeah, but they created that thing, though. The guillotine? Yeah. I'm pretty sure. 1931? Blake, you want to play?

It's a fun game. It's not really. There's prizes. It's a fun game. It's not really. There's prizes. It's 1939, actually. Okay. Did you guys start House of Dragon? Yes. Yes.

Did you do the other one? What do you mean? Dragon 2, whatever. House of Dragon. House of the Dragon. Yes, I watched season one of Dragon 2. I re-watched season one over three season one i feel like it's just too much too much dragon oh yeah this one's hitting dude it's really good did you re-watch season

one to get caught up uh i read okay i just read some stuff and two weekends ago i just took the time yeah a lot of free time rolled through that's what i've heard 10 episodes of the first season. So last night I was prime. This thing is going to be insane. Yeah. It's got the potential to be as good as the best seasons of Game of Thrones. It's just kind of weird because they shifted time a little bit.

Anyways. Does it got that hot Khaleesi in it or whatever her name is? No. Different Khaleesis now. Yeah. Are they hot? What do you think? They must be or else you guys aren't watching it. Well, the weird thing, too, is they had a – You're not watching a brute Khaleesi. They had a – the new Khaleesi they had on there last night

actually looked exactly like Russell Westbrook. And that was Today in History. Just dividing the red keep with bad chemistry. Yeah. I can't believe it's fake. I really am like, gosh, that does look just like him. Well, yeah, it does. Because it's him.
