Oh, you've never done that before. I saw something on the internet. I mean, how many dudes wanted it? But I don't know that... Yeah, your lady has to be on board.

Yeah, let's time check. Oh, I need to check my Wiley weather station. Who are you? I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jay Kemp. I'm Blake. Yeah, someone had mailed us, or no, was it just a gift from a 690 guest? No, it was a mail. Yeah. Somebody sent Blake a weather center, and you actually installed it.

That's the first thing I did when I got home. And then you greeted your little two-year-old son? Yeah, he could wait. Yeah. I got stuff to do. So you're aware of the barometric pressure? Still don't know what it means, but I got it. You know what the humidity is today?

Can you check it, like, on your phone? I need to... Apparently, it can do that. I haven't set that up yet. Oh, Bluetooth? We're talking apps. Probably Wi-Fi. You're talking apps, bro? Yeah, humidity was in the low 40s when I left this morning.

It was not too bad this morning. No. No. I've seen it get up to like 71. Wow. Like in the evening time. Wow. Just prime mosquito weather.

Yeah, they're breeding from what I hear. Mosquito season. Yeah. How do they do that? How do they do what? Bre what breed do they have relations or do they just like lay some eggs and the guy fertilizes this stemming from do ants pee mm-hmm do mosquitoes have wieners we've gotten a lot of feedback on how often you're saying wiener

yeah yeah and and i'm with And I'm with the people. You should stop. Stop? I love it. All right. Do mosquitoes have cocks? Dump that. Somehow that doesn't feel better.

Can we dump things? No, we can't. Oh, no. Let's go to the phones. Yeah, I mean, I imagine that they have to fertilize in one way or another. Yeah. I mean, fish don't actually hook up. Right.

What? Right? What do they do? They just lay some eggs and then drop some fertilizer on it and stuff. That's boring. I know. Mm-hmm. Oh.

What do we got here? A video here of mosquitoes having sex. A picture of a mosquito. Yeah. Anyway, so we're in our studio today. Speaking of other things that don't procreate. We have plenty of sports to get to. How about those three scientists? Okay.

There you go. There you go. There you go. Okay. Please, Blake. What? On today's show- You said cock.

Wait for every pod. Um, on today's show... You said cock. Wait for every pod. We will, uh, we're going to extensively cover the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders documentary. I did watch the first episode. Okay. I did almost finish it, and then almost finished. But we'll...

Anyway, we're in our studio today, and we should say it seems to be a full studio. We actually have the familiar intern, Rachel, and then we have a new intern. Is this official? I don't know. I think she's here to help out a little bit. She is Drop Beth. We've met her before. She was in our, in the den.

Yeah. She has been in the den, and she reached out, and I forwarded her email to Rob, and I'm kind of picking up on Rob's hiring practices. Yeah. Because we've also got like 100 dudes that have emailed us, and we end up with the two ladies that have emailed in and said they wanted to be a part of things.

And Rob's like, sure, yeah. You want to see my resume? No, no, no. No. I'm fine. Be here at this time. Just send me your Instagram. Yeah.

You get here a little early. Get here before the other guys. Yeah, your only friends. Let's and they get on the couch and you know. We've all seen that video. Anyway, speaking of the couch, so on the couch we not

only have, apparently we have like Rachel's husband is here for some reason. He paid his $6 690 to be here. It's his birthday. Oh, it's his birthday. Yeah. Well, happy birthday to Rachel's husband. What's your name, dude?

Colin. Colin. He had a choice between... Oh, no. I'm curious. Come on. He had a choice between coming in here or the Hawk Tour. Yeah.

Oh, hey, Dominic. Hey, Dominic. Oh, yeah. And look what Colin, for his birthday, we brought him Dominic Robinson. Right here. Right on the couch. The great Dominic Robinson once again. I was waiting for some.

Tis of a trail. See, Dominic, it'll be interesting, your thoughts on today's program, really at the end for sure. Because you're the first guy, I think, to be in the den and in the studio. And there's no gap. So now it's last show, you were in the den. Yeah. This show you're in the studio. Now you can kind of get the feel. Yeah, Friday. Yeah, it were in the den. Yeah. This show, you're in the studio.

Now you can kind of get the feel. Yeah, Friday. Yeah, it was Friday. Yeah. Yeah. It was your birthday, remember? It was your birthday Friday, and now it's his birthday. Whoa.

Good times. Yeah. Whoa. And today's the 24th of 2024. One of those. That mean something? Today's the first what? Sorry, sir.

Talked over. It's 6- 24, 24. That's awesome. And 6 times 4 is 24. Rachel looks freaked out. 6 times 4 is 24, bro. Fantastic. 2 plus 4?

Uh-huh. 6. Yep. Yep, that's pretty awesome. Wow. All right. Let's take a break. Oh.

No. So Dominic Robinson, you know what? We need an intro for Dominic Robinson. I know. I know. I should have had it ready. I think I told you over the weekend I would do it, but I didn't. Tell the whole story again.

Rachel said she had never heard of the Deuce Robinson story. And for those who didn't tune in Friday... Okay, we're not... It was behind the paywall, so some people need to hear this. We're not doing it. I got a DM. Get to the salad part. Do the free version. Had a salad.

Did you meet Dabo? And then I met Dabo. Took a picture with Dabo's wife. And then all of a sudden, Dominic's in the den. That's the whole story. Yeah, but there's a whole Cooper Manning thing, too. Right. And a son. So just go ahead and sign up for the old Patreon, patreon.com slash dadumson.

That's what you're missing out on. Yeah, you could hear that story a fifth time. I have a question. What did you tell your son? Now, he's acting beaten by it. I just don't want to hear it again today. We have follow-up questions. Go ahead.

Well, I was curious, what did you tell your son about Dan? Some random guy? Like, was he in on the bit? No. Yeah, like going into it. Part of the bit was also giving Deuce no information. So he was just as puzzled about this. But Deuce obviously knows me a lot better, so he knows.

He's really good at like, oh, Pops is working on something. Yeah. And he was right there. Yeah, he's like, just let me go. He's stepped back and like, okay, I see what's happening here. And he played along with it. Like every time I introduced Dan as as like my best my buddy my best friend dan deuce was just like yeah it's just like oh there's uncle dan yeah he was there

when i was born known him forever yeah he was he was he rolled with it pretty good and that helped a lot because i that made dan feel even more awkward because he just didn't know am i supposed to know this guy the way that i i do does everybody want to mess with me i've said this before and and i know that it's probably not possible but maybe like a one percent chance that we end up uh in the green room it's gonna be a man and jake with suits on blake you can come too why don't you come to the draft green room with his buddy i? I gotta record and stuff. And we're just there like, hey, just clapping.

Just hugs. Hugs. Dap up. Yeah, maybe I get to... Jake can cry, because Jake's a good crier. Yeah, oh. Cry for the camera. I'll cry at home. Even if we're not there, I'll cry when Deuce gets drafted. I think that would be great for us.

That would. That would really pump up the subs. 10 or 12 more. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So how about a nice weekend check? How about it? Let's hear what everybody did over the weekend.

Blake, you want to start? We did the first edition of the Dumb Zone Weekly Wrap-Up this Saturday. Oh, yeah. It was awesome, too. Hear, hear. We're very, very happy with that. If we can peel back the curtain a little bit, it felt kind of redundant because it feels like everyone listens to every episode now,

whereas in the radio world, maybe you missed a segment or two. I'm finding that's not true, though. It's not true. I got a lot of feedback. A lot of feedback. That they really liked it. I didn't get a chance to listen a lot this week. Okay.

Yeah. Maybe we keep it going. And think of all the people that signed up just Friday night. Yeah, and we're already paying you an exorbitant amount of money. But you were doing that before, and now we've added, so maybe we need to... i don't know about that man i remember hosting the uh the bad radio weekly uh wrap-up podcast and i didn't really have like any any great space in my house to do it so i would go to my my car in the garage with like a USB mic and just sit there and be like, Hey folks,

Dan had a funny bit like six o'clock in the morning on a, on a Saturday morning. I know it's a thankless job, but I think it's really cool that you're doing it. Okay. Uh, and I'm not going to pay you a dollar more for it. So can I also say we,

as, as a P one or former P1 or whatever we are now, we need more of that. Like you guys telling us about experiences like that. Because we love that. The behind the curtain. Yeah, yeah. Bad radio. Whatever it was.

Whatever relationships. Things that happen. cause stuff like that is cause you know we listen to like the weekly wrap up and in our mind we have a picture

of how it went and now you tell us that and we're like oh it's nothing like we think I understand that well I recorded in my really nice studio

so little bit of different your gaming studio with your yeah chair with fans in it uh it has speakers in it that is a good idea your big map with the little pins in it of where you've been someone uh gave us a map my architect my lady architect just a map do you have to say lady

architect or could she just be an architect? It was a weird qualifier, to be honest. No, she gave us a map with the pushpins so that we could put it up on the wall here. That was her vision. Put it up on the wall here and then any road trips we take. We have one for the daughter. What, a map? Remember where she's been? Where we've been.

Oh, so you can scoreboard her? Well, yeah. Hey, we went on vacation without you. But also, she can ask us, like, what was this place like? What was this place like? What was this place like? So, but that was at... So you have the place where you're like, well, that's where Robert Kraft got a hand job.

Yeah. This is where Tiger Woods... Pretty much. Pretty much. job yeah this is where tiger woods pretty much pretty much uh but i would like some help with the name i would like you to call it something else besides weekly wrap up that's been done before so let's crowdsource this thing okay yeah on the spot i'm not sure that i have you but somebody somebody somebody that's creative out there will help um and then if I can bring the room down um come on man uh buddy of mine's wife had a medical scare which sent me down this path of like we go through these phases in life where your early 20s like all your friends are getting married who is that I Caitlyn was out of order there.

Oh, okay. I don't know, 25. Can we describe drops now? He loves playing drops. First kid. I thought I was thinking it would be Akash, but then when it wasn't, it threw me off. Yep. Settle down, Caitlyn.

No, but we go through marriages, and then your first kid, and then now at this age, it's like some of your friends are dying or getting divorced or something. So now they just made me sad that we're just getting old. And now it's just now we're into the phase where our parents, our friends' parents are dying or something. And so it's like, what do we look forward to now? Nothing. Yeah. And like the friend divorces is a that's a really weird.

It happens like early, mid, late 30s. Your 30s, I suppose. Like you do congratulations or I'm sorry. You feel it out first. You can tell which ones are headed that way. Yeah. And then you call his wife and be like, hey, I mean, we've been friends too. And just if you ever need a shoulder to.

Sure. Cry on a little coffee. But yeah, no, you're right. It is interesting to watch the transition of life. Yeah. Is she okay? Well, that's pretty deep. Yeah.

Okay. She's okay, but it just... I don't know. It's like a preface to what we're going to be going through for the next 30 years. Unfortunately. If you're lucky. Yeah. See, wouldn't you rather

hear about Halo? Isn't that better? Yeah. Optic is way more exciting. Yeah, you didn't have to tell us that your friend's wife It's just what's going on in our life.

I just thought we're open and honest. Okay, we are. That's our fault. Yeah. It's just too open. Video Man is Rob. Oh, are you done?

Yeah. Seemed like you were wrapping up. I don't want to. I'm done. Didn't know if you wanted to tell us you went two for four with a... The Indian season is over. Oh, okay. Your softball season is over?

Yeah. Unfortunately. Video Man is also known as Rob Chickering. In another life, he was the skydiving chief. I also wouldn't tell you if I went two for four. Why, that's embarrassing? Yes. That's not bad. Jake tells us when he just blocked a guy.

Well, that's his highlight. He usually... Jake leans on team stats. He'll be like, another win. We won. You guys want to hear another flag football story? You need the guy Jake leans on team stats. He'll be like, another win. Yeah, we won. We. Yeah. You guys want to hear another flag football story? You need the guy who's willing to do the dirty work.

You actually do. You take that guy in round eight, but I'm a first round pick. I got to put on. Speaking of that guy, Jake, Rob had a. It's hard. Possibly did something a week. He's also trying to figure out drops with Drop Beth. Drop Beth can't come to the show anymore because Rob is too distracted.

I'm way distracted. Find me a laugh. He has a mic now? I know. Dan told me to get a mic. Oh, he demanded it. I was like, no, I don't know, dude. And he's like, bro, I need to...

I got stuff to say. I need spare time. Well, this is going great what's he doing you want to know what i did yeah we can check okay uh you guys know i'm a freelance photographer do a little video and freelance photography and the the Granada Theater hired me for a Friday event. Ticket Chill. Ah, the ticket, the new Summer Bash. I believe it's called Summer Chill.

Oh, Ticket Summer Chill. Yep. Chill Bash. I will market them better than you, who is employed. So here's what the ticket did when we left. The ticket radio station in Dallas, who you don't know, and that's where we used to work for many, many years.

And now we don't. But for years, I wanted to go to, I pitched, hey, will you send our show to spring training? 20 years I asked for this, and they never did it. And the second we left, they sent our replacement show to spring training. Yeah. And for 20 years, we've been going show to spring training. Yeah. Yep.

And for 20 years, we've been going to Summer Bash just sweating our balls off all day. It just kept getting worse. It was like, what if we just move this to the sun? So, yeah, I would pack a bag with new underwear and shorts and T-shirt, because I would change mid-summer bash. Kind of like guys, you know. I'm very similar to a pro athlete. Like Kyrie might change jerseys or something, or Tyler Sagan will change during a game, right? Same thing.

I'm kind of like Tyler Sagan, many would say. Yeah. And, yeah, so now they do it indoors in air conditioning and that sounds wonderful yeah i mean uh i don't know that i was the last one but i was one of the last fight nights and i thought i was gonna die oh you fought outside okay yeah they moved that indoors that was a great day when they moved out of the village outside the village yeah yeah the day they moved that indoors. That was a great day when they moved that indoors. It used to be at the village, outside the village. Yeah. The day they moved that indoors was one of the best days of my life. Because it's in all. Followed up, then it was the birth of my child.

Right. But the day, yeah. Then the chase down block. But it's all right there. Wait, that's above the birth of the child. Yeah, I remember thinking like, man, if I could have fought inside at the bomb factory. How many more rounds could you have gone just having a little air conditioning to help you out there? Infinite.

I didn't need any more rounds, though. So you worked for the Granada. Done. Yeah. The ticket didn't happen. Yeah, the Granada hired me, and I imagine it raised a few eyebrows when I showed up with my camera gear and like, what you doing here? Like you were spying?

Yeah, maybe a little bit. Hey, let's steal their event. Everybody was super cool. Let's steal. I'm going to steal all the intellectual property from the ticket at this event. No, it was great. It was good seeing everybody. Got to talk to George and Bob.

Bob asked me how it was going over there at the Dumb Zone. Hey, Rob. Yeah, I was going at the Dumb Zone. That was good. It was a good event. Good crowd. Everybody seemed to enjoy it. Lots of interesting cover songs played.

Okay. Corby did a good rant revival song. Yeah, the Zach Bryan song. Yeah, it was really good. They did a nice job on that. That was fun. But yeah, good crowd. Got out of there. That was about it for me. That's all he's that. It was fun. But yeah, good crowd. Got out of there.

And that was about it for me. That's all he's got. That's it. No skydiving, no nothing. No, sorry. No free dive. Nope. I didn't do a lot either.

I, and I have sent the missive out to our potential guest, Rob, in case they do hook up. But I went, so my big thing, this tells you how little I do over the weekend, but my big thing was that I took daughter number two on a, it's a thing we've done before in this exact same order. We go to Half Price Books. Okay. Down there on Harwood. Yep.

That's probably your home, Half Price Books. Pretty close, yep. When publishers would send me a book, that's where I would take it. No, but I mean, that's around your house where you grew up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. If that was there back then. It was.

Oh, it's been there a long time, for sure. Then we swing over to Chan's Mongolian Grill in North Richland Hills, which is an all-you-can-eat buffet where I would like to say I used to eat two plates, and I don't anymore. Good for you. Good for you. I love Chan's, man. As I've told you many times.

I would love one of those big things in the middle of my kitchen. Grill, I guess you would call it. Yeah, no, it's more than that. It's like a griddle. It's just big and round and awesome. Yeah, I mean, maybe a wok is what you'd call it. But yeah. And as I've told you many times, I used to have my brother's jersey hung up there.

Oh, that's right. Because he used to eat there so much that they had my brother's Tulane jersey. Did they give him free food? That I don't know, but I mean, he was there a lot. So I would assume there was at least a discount in play. I was thinking if I was in college. Dude, and you're looking to bulk? Yeah, I would be eating looking to bulk? Yeah.

I would be eating there every night. Yeah. Place is great. Yeah. But they're making money on me now. Well, that's cool. You guys still have like a little tradition. Yeah.

And then also on Saturday. So I told you I have a new guy for lawn care and he's white. And I'm really happy about that. Like I have a white guy doing my lawn care. And I kind of wonder, is this racist to have this thought that I'm happy that my lawn guy is white. So joining us now from the he's also in the washed

network empire is KJ Ellis. You know him. He's also been in the den for an earlier episode. Thank you. Blake says that everybody's heard every second we ever said, so I shouldn't even reset that. Were you there pre-Blake?

No reason. No, I was not there pre-Blake. And in fact, So it was a good episode. I wanted to teach her to apologize to Blake because I think I asked if he was going to be so catatonic while we were recording. And then I went on just a non-stop talk for about an hour

and a half and you know saved blake from having to say anything i felt terrible about it for the next like two months because john what is happening to your beard that is so hot just the mix go gray the salt and pepper oh my god that looks good Just the mix? Let me go gray. The salt and pepper? Oh, my God. That looks good. I'm glad that Dan gave the backstory of why I was on today.

But when we have time, I do have a question about how to handle the community pool scene that I'm facing myself with. And, you know, how to navigate that without divorce. I'm going to need some advice from you, fellas. Community pool? Why not just do it now? Correct. Well, you know, Port of Operations. If you want to talk landscapers, we can do that all day.

Community pool, though. Let's go. What are you talking about? As it is, the year 2024 of our Lord, community pools are integrated. I'm a member, paying member, eligible member. You've been that way for a long time. First year I've been a member, paying member, eligible member. He's been that way for a long time. Yeah. First year I've been a member. Okay.

And he also lives in Wisconsin now. So maybe they have been integrated that long. Like half an hour outside of Madison. Yeah. No, less than that. Less than that. Okay. Madison adjacent.

How does one navigate taking sand to the beach, if you will? In this case, wife, kids, four and two years old. Your wife's not four and your kid's not two years old. You have a wife and a four and two year old child, just to be clear. Yes, grammatically speaking. Okay. Am I able to attend this pool solo? It would be weird

be like hey i take the kids and the wife from like noon to three and i come back pop up for a shout like a shift from like five to seven when things really start getting interesting around the pool because the scene i am not responsible enough to like endure with the family around it's there's a lot going on i don't think you can go to a community pool solo. I don't think so. I feel like you just look too horny. Is it in your neighborhood? Yes. So walkable?

Yeah, I mean kind of like the neighborhood pool. I think he can go solo. What if the family's out of town and you just want to go take a swim? Sure. I don't can go solo. I mean, what if the family's out of town and you just want to go take a swim? Sure. I don't know, man.

I'm going to say yeah. What do you think, Dom? I guess I need to get some lessons. No, no, no. No community pool? No, not by yourself. No, you cannot. We're such enablers.

You cannot. It sucks. I agree. I think you can't. You can't. You can't. You can't do it, man. Like Jake said, it just screams, I am here looking for some ass. Yes.

It really does. It just screams. We're just here to look at it. At our age, you got to be like in your 20s-ish to get away with that. Yeah. By yourself. I think a near- Once you get to about 35, it starts...

Yeah, I think a near 40-year-old fan showing up at a community pool at 5 o'clock on a Saturday looks like, where are the single moms? Yeah. Not swimming, not tanning. Like, I don't have a built-in excuse is the problem. Hey, you need me to take one of them?

I'll swim with one of them for a minute. Take the load off i should start checking ids like i could play that role i can check ids like it's okay to go to the playground by yourself right no oh yeah i think no oh um before one more thing before we get to to care. Go ahead. So KJ's going to Idaho with me. Two things about this. One, Corte Elaine, or Corte Elaine, whatever you call it, is apparently like the home of white supremacy. And when he found that out, our idea was we have two options. Either you can't come out with us, or we're going to dress you like Malcolm X.

Or the Utah women's basketball team. That was also on the list. That's what happened. That's where that happened. There was a women's basketball tournament somewhere in Idaho. And what happened? They got racial slurs yelled at them extensively. This recent?

Yeah, it was like in March. I believe the Utah women's basketball team was staying in Coeur d'Alene to play Gonzaga, and that might not even be accurate, but I feel like that's close. Somewhere thereabouts. And that's right around the time that we booked this trip. And I'm like, all right dude the ghost of don imus showed up to share his thoughts about the team yeah r.i.p but what if we made you dress as brother mazone from from the wire put a bow tie on and then the second thing was When you told us

No you just have to punch him in the face When one of them guys starts Yeah I'm on your side The second thing was Speaking of like Blake's point about being this age Was when somebody When somebody tells you on the group email Hey I have a CPAP machine

We had a few c-pap machines in arizona like i gotta have my own space to sleep i mean if you're rooming with somebody that's a necessity like when someone lets you know like look i mean that's just being nice there's there's backstory to both of these and now that i think, this is not my first trip with Jake. Let's make that very clear. This might be year six or seven. Sure. And thinking about the places we've gone, Hangout Fest is in Southern Alabama.

We've done Montana a couple of times. Texas, you can count it or if you don't. I'm beginning to question our criteria for trip picking. Yeah. We've never gone to Harlem. question like our criteria for trip picking yeah we've never gone to harlem if we're going to jackson mississippi next year like maybe that changes things but uh don't hold your breath an etiquette i'm sure it's good he can't hold his breath he needs a machine for it yeah it's true that's awesome so um but year one i showed up very late. I slept on a washer machine out of guilt of not snoring around the other folks in the room.

And from there on out, it became a center of attention, and nobody guilted me into it. But as a member of the team, my contribution was seeking out additional therapy, which was in the form of CPAPSA. Somebody else will sleep well. That's my contribution. So my question was, so I, we have a white long guy now and I like it because the same language is, is spoken by both of us. And just, there's a, there's an understanding of everything that's going to happen. And I don't know. I just feel better

about it also just in that same way I've told you before. Like I can't go get a pedicure. Yeah. Because I can't have like a Vietnamese lady kneeling at my feet cleaning them. It just feels so...

Slavey. It feels slavey. I'll just say it. I would never go get a shoe shine at the airport, let alone I don't wear shoes that need shined. But if I did, I would not have a... I don't want any man kneeling down cleaning my shoes. That seems really wrong, but especially a black guy. And then, you know, it's just that same feeling if you're telling someone what to do with your lawn. Like, hey, I want you to, look, it's a thousand degrees out here.

I could do it. I'm going to go sit in there and have a drink. It's real air conditioned. Get my computer out. Give you a little bit of money to do it. I'm going to go sit in there and have a drink. It's real air conditioned. Get my computer out. Give you a little bit of money to do it. But clearly you're, I mean, that's the way it should be here. Like, I don't want anyone, you know, I don't want another minority group working my lawn. And I thought, does that make it racist for me to even say this?

And I thought, does that make it racist for me to even say this? And so I remembered I was listening to KJ on a podcast quite some time ago where he was talking about the fact that he moved to Wisconsin. And one of the great things about it is, as a black man, he likes having a white guy cut his lawn. And so I wanted to, I really brought you on to tell me that I'm not racist because you have the same, like, but, or is this a thing where I can't say the same routine that Chris Rock says? Like, just because Chris Rock says it, I can't say it. Like, can I not say this? But KJ, you can say this. If you're going to allow me to have the power to grant this is uh approvable i approve it i do think you should be honest that it's not the say comprende like the initial conversation that

you're worried about that is a part of it that is a part nobody wants to go out to be the guy correcting yeah yeah yeah that's for sure the conflict is the real fear i mean my wife is real particular about like everything and she doesn't want these certain little trees that are growing up, but I want it weeded, but I can't really... I could tell the other guy. I could tell the other guy, look, you know wives.

Give him a little wink. Just don't pull any of these trees. I know it's ridiculous. These trees are going to die soon anyway, but I just going to die soon anyway. But I just got to appease her. And yeah. May I offer a rebuttal?

Go forth. Because this reminds me of when, excuse me, Peter Dinklage got mad at Snow White for casting dwarves. Yeah. Because Peter Dinklage then just took work away from dwarves. Yeah. So this is the conflict. Like, you want a Caucasian on order because it makes you feel better,

but you're taking work away from people. And now you're giving your money to the whites. Right. Am I just keeping the money in white people land? Yeah. I mean, it's not as if, like, you also have an affinity for, I don't know, World War II memorabilia or anything like that. There are no other boxes being checked. No, I don't.

You live in a fairly diverse community. He has no priors. There are no other signs that would lead one to believe anything problematic is going on. You don't have a cut couch in your studio. The community is very diverse. Yeah, this all checks out now. All right. Yeah.

Why did we invite him on? It's all like a... It was your idea. I appreciate it. Oh, it wasn't my idea. Damn it. All right. We have one more weekend check to get to.

You want to hang during it, KJ? Do you have anything to do? I'll hop. I'll let you fellas do it. I'm just honored to be in the presence of Dominic, so I'll hang for another weekend. Check about that. You're honored to be in the presence of Dominic?

What the hell? If you grew up in the era that I grew up playing football and college football, we're not that much difference in age, but someone who lived the dream of going on to play at Florida State, yeah, you respect that. So again, here for it't you don't need to pump up Dominic's ego anymore he that's plenty big do you think you're gonna get a uh do you think you're gonna

get a he's trying to get a back check he's trying to get into the draft room yeah he wants he wants to shed a cheer with Jake and hug and jump up and down. Exactly. This is the pre-glazing, so then I can ask Dominic about his negative thoughts about Madison, Wisconsin, because he did trash the city in the past. I did. That's just setting it up. Why'd you trash Madison?

The same reason everybody would. No, I think we're having a conversation about the pack 12 going to the big 10 yeah uh one of the times i was on and i i was like i said something about like nobody wants to go to madison wisconsin or something yeah i don't think i don't think kj did either yeah life finds a way. Life finds what? All right, Jake's weekend check. Okay, so my weekend check is Saturday night.

I was without kid. I had the kids most of the day Saturday. One kid all day. One kid maybe 70% of the day. And then I went and met up with our good friends mike saroy and danny bayless now um that's gonna require an uber not not danny so much as the first guy well yeah but for me like i'm not gonna drive to dallas you know and drive back or whatever so you bring a toothbrush i did not i came home okay i was home oh on time that's. Yeah. And I mean, I had to pick the kids. That's the

difference between having kids. Yeah. I had to pick the kids up at like 8 AM. So I came home and got up and did my business. But, uh, so I was leaving Southlake, um, the rent house, which is pretty close to where Dan lives now. And I'm not even really paying attention. I was looking at my phone. I think I was texting Danny and Saroy. And my Uber driver, oh, I'll back it up a little bit. When I walked out, he was smoking a cigarette in front of my house, which is always kind of like, I mean, I don't care, but it's a play.

You know? Yes, you're setting out a different vibe. Yeah. So I get in the car. It smells like cigarettes. Whatever. KJ Con? Did he go?

Okay. Oh, all right. Sorry. My bad. So I just didn't know. We're on 114. This is probably 10 minutes into the ride. didn't know we're on 114 this is probably 10 minutes into the ride and he's like uh i and i can't really place the guy's race necessarily we hadn't really talked but i could tell that he

didn't really speak english um it didn't seem like spanish to me um but much like the thing that i've told you my brother pointed out about gas stations like sometimes when you or pretty much every time when you go into gas stations, like they're just on the phone the whole time. We've all noticed this, right? Yeah. I don't know who you're talking to. The earpiece?

Huh? The earpiece? Sometimes, sometimes no. Speakerphone a lot of times. And so he was on speakerphone and he was talking, and I don't know specifically what language he was speaking or the country of origin of the person he was talking to. But in the middle of that conversation, he's like, oh, no.

And I'm going to do that the whole time, by the way. So YouTube, get ready. And he pulls over. And I'm like, what the hell? And I look in the back and we've got a Southlake cop car, cop SUV. And the extremely hot cop, of course, who's like 26, like I told you, they all are now, tattooed up. Oh, dude.

He comes to my side, and he asks for the guy to roll down the passenger side front window. Okay, yeah. You're on 114? Mm-hmm. And it's pretty clear this guy doesn't understand what's happening. So I roll down my back window, and the guy's got his flashlight out, and it's not dark. It's like 8 o'clock 8 15 at night and he you know starts talking to the guy and he's like hey open this door like the the front passenger door and the guy's like i don't know so i try to tell him i I'm like, dude, I'll open the door for you. So I open the front door

and the guy kind of almost gets into the front passenger seat and he's like, I need your license and registration. Confused. Did not immediately comply. So he gets his wallet out and he just hands him his wallet.

Okay. Like, I don't know, whatever you need, I'll just hand this to you. like i don't know whatever the whatever you need like i'll just hand this to you and he's like okay i also need your insurance so he takes out um an insurance card from the from the console and the guy's like all right i'll be back so he goes back to his car and And at this point, another cop car pulls up. Now, to me, two cop cars means somebody's probably going to jail. That's not a one. They tell him that he had sped through a construction zone.

They were like, you were going 63. And he's like, speed limit 60. And they were like, yeah, but it's 40 right there. And he's super confused by this. He's like, 60. Yeah. And they're like, well, it's 40 right there. And he does not understand this at all.

And so they get – A bit speed trap-ish. For sure. They get him out of the car. And now I'm thinking, all right, two police officers, you're out of the car. This dude's going to jail. And you're, what's your plan? I was texting Danny and Saroyan.

I'm like, I don't know what I'd do. You're in an Uber. Yeah. So second cop comes up to my side, backseat, passenger side, and he's got the flashlight on me. So I just rolled down the window and I was like, hey, dude, I'm just taking an Uber. And he was like, hey, can you get out for a second? So I get out and they just kind of like rummage through the backseat of this car. They have him like back at their car.

And they're like, all right, you can get back in. They didn't check my ID. Doesn't seem like that's probably legal. I mean, I just did it just because. No, but rummaging through the car and all that. Yeah. And your gummies kicking in right about now. I was not impaired, honestly, at this point.

I think I had had one beer before I left, but I was not. You don't want to overdo it if you're going. I also didn't have anything on me. So I was not super worried about getting out of the car. So I'm just like, all right, whatever. It is what it is. So I'm going to if you're going to the right. I also didn't have anything on me. So I was not, like, super worried about, like, getting out of the car. So I'm just like, all right, whatever. It is what it is. So I'm going to play you a little bit of audio. Which is surprising.

You weren't more lippy. Because I did start. I told you. I'm a changed man. Yeah. I did start rolling a little bit so you can hear kind of how this interaction went. Excuse me. Is this not Highlander Rav 4?

So right there he says, Highlander RAV4 Okay And Those are two different cars So Wait that's the cop? No no no that's the guy And he's driving one of those cars

But his insurance says the other of those cars Like I think we were in a RAV4 But he has highlander insurance is the raffle no highlander i know what you're saying this is just insurance purposes though i know this is covered under insurance but that license plate doesn't return to this car is what i'm trying to tell you plate doesn't return to this car is what I'm trying to tell you. What? So let me get this back to you.

They give him a what? Mind if I open your door? Can I open this? Now they're getting him out, and obviously he has no idea that he doesn't have to do this. And I thought about being like, bro, you definitely don't have to get out. Because they're saying, can I do it? Yeah. Oh, this way.

Nope, it's fine. Just leave it closed. What I'm going to do is just stay in your vehicle a little longer. Because they're saying, can I do it? Yeah. Oh, this way. Nope, it's fine. Just leave it closed. What I'm going to do is just stay in your vehicle a little longer. Sorry about the wait, sir. We'll get you out of here as soon as possible. It's all good, man. Okay. Oh, he's apologizing to you, not to them.

Yeah. We'll go to clip two here. I believe this is when they came back, and I'm still very confused about what happened here because in my mind, this guy's got fake plates. Right? We've seen those stories. They're saying the plates don't match the car.

The plates don't match the car or the insurance. Okay. And we've heard a million stories like this in the last year or so that this is like a popular scam. Yeah. Back to the correct vehicle. So just give the NBA a call a call okay do you understand he'll explain it all to you so that's why we were talking to him about his license plate if he doesn't have questions but you can hear me there go he doesn't understand yeah it's like

they're looking at me like this is the reason why we took him out of the car they're like do you understand i'm like he doesn't understand do you understand he'll explain it all to you so that's why we were talking to him about his license plate if he doesn't have questions narrator he just has to yield to traffic stops that are on the side of the road that was the reason one more thing clean that license plate off yes dirty i have 10 okay so now now they're starting to say that the reason that that they they had an issue was that his license plate is physically dirty so the first couple times that they were like your plate's dirty i'm like oh okay this is a hot it's hot okay you know it's illegal but it doesn't make any sense to me that they would have pulled this guy over. Like it's got mud.

Just because it has mud on it. It's played off. Yes. It's dirty. I have change. Okay. Thank you very much. Don't do it now.

Later on, drop your passenger off and then clean it up, okay? Okay. Here you go, sir. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you, brother. And now he's been on the phone with another person. He's still talking? Yeah, the whole time. Oh, they were?

Yeah. Okay, yeah. Play that back because what's he saying? What language? I don't know. I mean. Thanks, guys. Appreciate you, brother. language i don't know i mean thanks guys appreciate you brother

okay that's not spanish yeah no it's not spanish now so does this they let him go they wrote him a ticket oh he got a speeding ticket yes man. But they didn't write him a ticket for any sort of registration or plates violation. But they did write him a ticket. I wonder if they let him go if you're not in the car. Honestly, when I tweeted about this, a couple people were like, they just didn't want to mess with having to deal with you. Do they have to take you somewhere? Do you have to call an Uber from the side of 114? Dude, we are in like.

That's your white privilege. They knew that it would inconvenience you, the white man. We are. Although you look a little, you could be some other stuff too. I don't know. I'm just saying. If you just said you had something else in you, everybody would be like, yeah, yeah. Okay.

Fair. But we are like, like there are cars whizzing past us. Like, we are in a, it's not a suburban street. We did not pull off onto somewhere else. So that might have been part of their thought too. But again, to me, two cops, they get the guy out of the car. They had him out of the car for probably 20 minutes. I'm thinking, what happens next?

Like, they got him out. Yeah. So I tried to do a little post game with him. Oh. Oh. You know what happened? Yeah. What happened?

What? Was it a registration thing or what was it? No, it's the Lansdowne Police. There's no killing. No killing. That's it. It wasn't clean? Yeah. Like, it was just clean? Yeah.

Like it was just dirty? Yeah. Okay. That was it? Yeah. Okay. That's pretty much it. No chance. That's what I'm saying. No chance. That's what i'm saying no chance that's what i'm saying

and then he dropped me off uh when i met up with danny and throw it he was just like sorry did you give him a nice tip to help pay for that i did oh and there's one other funny part because i wasn't rolling at this point uh When they got me out, second cop, also hot, also tattooed. I was like, man, I hope this doesn't impact my writer rating. Funny. And he was like, what does that mean? Get a sense of humor. He didn't find that funny at all.

So, yeah, that's, that's what happened to me on Saturday night. It, it took, it added a good 45 minutes to my drive. Um, yeah.

Then I had a good time with Roy and Danny, but they were like, where, where were you? I'm like, man, you don't even, you don't want to know.

Yeah. I feel so bad for that dude. The driver. To be honest with you, I thought based on the way things were going, I thought he might've been like illegal. And I don't know what that looks like, but either a stolen car or, you know, something did not seem like it was on the up and up. And he spoke 5% of English. Yeah. So he had no clue what they were saying to him. So the next time an Uber driver pulls up to your house with a cigarette,

like half sawed off in front of your house, just know things might take a turn. KJ, how do you feel if this was you or i sitting in the back seat how would that have gone very similar well i can tell you about the the one and only time i've been in a jail in dallas fort worth was uh pretty similar it was like hey these license plates don't go to this car and i'm like i bought the car yesterday i know what to tell you and they're like yeah well tell it't go to this car. And I'm like, I bought the car yesterday. I don't know what to tell you. And they're like, yeah, well, tell it to Highland Park police officer. I'm like, okay. So, yeah, would not go to the San.

You didn't drink with Sorority that night? No. No, you didn't get to go. No, but you have told me that breakfast there, pretty solid. They did, you know, Bubba's. If you're familiar with Bubba's right off the SMU campus, they pitch up with, they give you know uh bubba's if you're familiar with bubba's right off the smu campus they pitch up with uh they give you a phone and they're like call anybody take it back to your cell leave the door open what's your order it's top tier breakfast so shout out to uh i guess it'd be university so the pluses and minuses of driving through highland park

while black exactly that. That, exactly. You know, free stay and a cinnamon roll in the morning. The amount of resolve in the guy's voice when he was like, yeah, just my license plate was dirty, was pretty sad. He's like, yep, that's it. What else you know? Yeah, people get pulled over for that all the time. Yeah, I'm like, why did they get this guy out of the car

if he just had mud on his license plate? No chance. It doesn't make any sense. So they could check the time. Yeah, I'm like, why did they get this guy out of the car if he just had mud on his license? No chance. It doesn't make any sense. So they could check the car. Yeah. Like they did. And they did, and they opened up his glove compartment. Where were you exactly? Because it doesn't sound like Southlake, if you started

heading towards Dallas, you would be out of Southlake in about half a second. Well, from where we are, I'm leaving from Kimball, and it wasn't long. I might have said 10 minutes, but it was less than 5 minutes. Okay. It was right there. It was like right at

Northwest Highway. Movie theater. Basically, yes. Like right there. Okay. And then, yeah. Wow. They pulled him over. I don't know. I don't know what the normal...

I don't know what would have happened if they would have arrested him. You would have been sitting there and they would have called a cab. Or they would have driven you to... So now I have to get in a cop car? What if you showed up in a Southlake police car? See, they were looking for a reason to arrest him, and they actually just couldn't find one. It felt like that.

But they would have checked your pockets before they put you in the back. He was being very cool. All they could find is a dirty license. They couldn't find anything in the car. They couldn't arrest him. What would they have arrested him for? I was this close to bringing a vape.

And workers aren't present. Isn't there like a whole like this is the speed limit or I guess it's the fine will double if people are present. I don't even know where you're talking. I'm trying to think of where there's not major construction over there. It's not even major construction. I think it's just like they put up the sign at night on the weekend because anything that they do, that's when they do it. Yeah. You know what I mean?

But no one was out doing stuff. I never felt like anyone was at risk or anything like that. But, yeah, shout out to my dude. All right. I guess he made it. Well, I'm sorry, Dan. We may have to add this to the community list. Maybe not as diverse as we were going to hope for earlier,

but maybe just as oppressive as one might imagine. So you add this to the landscaper list, and a lot of knocks against Southlake right now. All right. Well, what are you going to do? From the wonderful world of sports, Radio Sports Scoreboard. Let me look at one of my two run sheets.

I actually have three, but I'm kind of trying to phase this one out. We do have a variety of sports that we can get into. Oh, my bad. What do you want to start with? Because I think the Cowboys cheerleader thing, maybe we'll save that for after the break because that's a little meatier. Okay. A little longer. As it were.

I am interested in a couple of things that we were following on Friday kind of were big over the weekend. One, of course, was Hawk to a Girl. And so, yes, it's songs, it's memes, it's a lot of fun with Hawk to a Girl. Did you see the Bryce Harper celebration? He hit an extra bass hit. I did. And had a celebration. He kind of did a little Hawk to a.

I did And had a celebration He kind of did a little Hak Tua Yeah I don't want to believe That that's actually What he's doing But it's pretty clear

That it is It's pretty clear On the very night Yeah That Hak Tua breaks And it's funny too Because He's always been

Like guy who sort of Feigns Religiousness Has he really? I've never Yeah like remember He's always been like guy who sort of feigns religiousness. Has he really? I've never. Yeah, like remember whenever he got asked if he could buy a beer? That's where it's a clown question, bro, came from. And they're like, oh, you're in Canada.

Oh, okay. Was he like straight edge? Yeah. Okay. But he also does stuff like this all the time. And I always find it funny athletes that can kind of play both parts of that I guess

Dion's kind of one of those guys Dion's a bit of that guy cause Dion is the one who or Primetime is the one who is nailing all those chicks Dion, that wasn't Dion has kids and family and I think

Playmaker gets away with this a little bit. He never leaned too hard into it, but he has played the card. Yeah. But I've always respected him for not Darryl Strawberry-ing his way out of things. He kind of just... He doesn't really play the

God card too much. No. He will tell you that you need to learn how to talk to athletes. He's dipped his... Well, that's Daryl Strawberry. Yes. He has played the card. I'm saying Michael... I know what you mean.

I just want to bring back up one of my favorite moments of your career. Don't talk bad about Dion with Dominic, though. I'm not talking bad about him. I'm just saying he has been able to play sort of both sides of the bit. Since you wanted to be the next Deion, did you also develop a personality that wasn't Dominic? Yeah, I would say, yeah. Like kind of an asshole?

Yeah, I went pretty far. I wouldn't – no, not asshole. But I leaned into – I mean, I read Deion's book. I would record on VHS the games, I would watch how he came on to the field how he talked to refs or umps in the baseball games I would watch you know I would watch anything and read anything that I could I carried around the cereal box the weedy cereal box that he was on carried it around when I was in seventh yeah, seventh grade flag football during that whole season, I carried that Wheaties box

to school every day. Do-rag? Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, Jake talked about that, yeah. Yeah, we all were doing that. Everybody was doing that, but I doubled, I mean, I tripled down. I tried to do everything. High-stepping? All that. Come on. Come on, of course.

Yeah, yeah. I was high-stepping. i was as a kid everybody i knew as a kid uh would shoot with their tongue hanging out like michael jordan yeah yeah when did you start contact uh not until my freshman year okay so i was playing flag yeah i was copying him in flag and then once i yeah once i went to tackle football or for a freshman year of football i was full the i mean you couldn't tell the the difference where the line ended between number him yeah number everything durag tied in the back hanging out like i i would socks exactly where what was your nickname that you gave yourself? Primetime 2. Yeah, he told us that the other day. Primetime 2. I still have.

That's not very creative. So the guy, the head, the recruiting coordinator at Florida State, John Lilly, who's in the NFL now, when I talk to him, he still, when he texts me, you know, he recruited Deuce, of course. Any conversations we have, he refers to me as prime. He still refers to me as prime. He's never called me Dominic once. My buddy, my best friend from college, he calls me PT2.

Yeah. That's awesome. And it's cringeworthy to me now. I talk about it like it's nothing, but some of the things I did and said, I'm just like, oh, it's super cringe. Really, really makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, it was bad. Did you ever try to direct Deuce to Florida State?

No, I didn't. I mean, I wanted him to go there bad. Yeah, absolutely wanted him to play there. But I never – I wanted him to go there bad. Yeah, absolutely. Wanted him to play there. But I never – I wanted him to – I love Florida State more than anything. I mean, I'm a huge, huge – I was a fan before I was an alumni. So I want him to feel about his school the way that I feel about mine. And so I knew that would only happen organically. It happened for me organically

I watched the color I mean I watched the way they played I loved the colors I loved the coaches I loved everything about what they were doing so I was in love with that more than just trying to win a national championship or anything I was a fan first so I wanted him to experience that, you know, that true love where it's just like, man, I know for sure if I never played at Florida state, I still would have loved the fact that I chose to go there for college. You know, I wanted him to have that, that feel. So no, I never, I never pushed him in that direction. So on Friday we talked Hawk to a girl and we talked about the I was reading from you That article on The Yahoo Sports

Breakdown Of Michael Jordan Defensive player of the year Award and how it's called into question At least now 30 some years later Yeah So that really lit fire over the weekend. I saw.

Yeah. Being called a disingenuous hit piece. I love hit piece. That basically it's all clutch sports and LeBron's machine. Yeah. That is putting this together. It's really funny. I don't know if this is all true and I'm kind of oblivious to it.

Like because like they say about politics, you know, if Biden gives a speech tonight. They will already have the Republican response written before the speech. Yeah. on? Does Clutch Sports pay people? Do they call people? Do they put a bug in someone's ear that, hey, you should write this? And we, you know, because that's what's being alleged here. I don't know that they pay people,

but certainly the agent game works in this way, right? What do you mean? If you want sources and if you want information, then your outlet will write this and that will curry favor with our agency. So just maybe it's people that have actually always had a good relationship with them and I want to keep that relationship.

So is it kind of like if you're – let's say it's an intern Rachel and her husband because I know they talk to each other on social media. Like do you – there's some kind – sometimes people want, hey, I know they saw this. We've talked about this with a tragedy or somebody that dies or somebody – our coworkers we see know every our co-workers we see will jump on and like oh i'm or somebody passes yeah somebody famous passes away and it's like hey i uh very sorry or something you know but we won't and then you almost now we look like jerks yeah you feel peer pressured into i got a comment on this too so is it like that like hey i saw this out there about jordan i need to retweet this because i just know clutch will see that i retweeted this and that will not hurt me in the future when i'm asking for an interview yes i think that's exactly what's happening

because now there are so whether it's just people or fans or... I don't know the influence that Jordan has with today's media, but there's a ton of people jumping out now like, hey, look at this LeBron video. Oh, you couldn't get away with this in today's day? Okay, let's look at these assists that LeBron had or these whatever. Strip him of a triple double yeah that one over the weekend yeah I don't know I think it's so it's so silly and I just I'm not

that interested in these sorts of debates it's kind of like the hall of fame with me I just like watching sports like it's it's just not that interesting to me to be like hey can we fight about who was better I don't know it doesn't fire me up as much as it seems like it does a lot of other people and especially whenever you have to make it statistically based, statistics have changed

over time so basing it entirely on that it's just not that interesting to me you know give it to rathman yeah jerry rice played in one of those it's interesting to me just because we live in this world of media i mean it's interesting like in the sense of that people fighting about it is interesting the essential argument of it is not that interesting to me. Like I was reading something or maybe watching a video that was claiming that the Rookie of the Year award was robbed from Carmelo Anthony because the LeBron story needed Rookie of the Year? I have heard that before.

I guess I need to go break down the numbers myself. What? Why? I don't know. Why? Because I want want clutch to like me they're not going to sign you dude they might sign me i feel like it's unlikely come on what if clutch signed us well they would only sign me yeah i was gonna say yeah you're sitting here ripping lebron i love lebron okay Say it over and over.

LeBron, please sign us. And then I did also enjoy over the weekend, just the JJ Reddick hire is getting ridiculed. That graphic is pretty funny. It's hilarious. Is it the graphic that shows his career coaching history? Yes. It kind of says, like, whatever academy, volunteer fourth grade boys head coach,

2022, 2023. Did him pretty dirty there. And then 2023, 2024, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most storied franchises in NBA history. Volunteer fourth grade. So is he – I was thinking about this. Are you a Lakers fan? I am.

Okay, I figured so. Yeah, it's my strongest tie to any team is the Lakers. Is he Pat Riley? Because Pat Riley was brought out of the booth. No. I mean, maybe. No. In the end, will we write this story that he's pat riley

the pat riley thing that's different is pat riley was the team's play-by-play guy or color analyst but then he was uh hired as an assistant and he was an assistant on the bench for two years how important is that i don't that? I don't know. Nowadays, I don't know. I would have said that's very important in the past. You've got to have some of that. I would have said that that is light in the past. Just two years as an assistant on the bench after coming out of the bench?

At least being an assistant somewhere to where you are viewed as a figure of authority. Yeah. Because how is he viewed by, I guess, anybody except LeBron on that team? There's the graphic. You know, how is he viewed by, is he viewed with any authority? Is he viewed as this guy who I didn't like as a player and he just did a podcast? And he just slurps on LeBron and now he's coming in to be our coach? It's kind of weird, too, because you alluded to it there.

He was not liked as a college player. I mean, anybody who goes to Duke and is white and plays in the style and fashion that he did, he was a very annoying player. I grew to love him over the years just because it seemed like he was kind of on the leading edge of changing the game based on the way that he played. But, like, people liked Steve Nash. Steve Nash was a liked player.

And no one respected him as a head coach. To me, it feels more like an NFL thing. Like a young, analytical guy. Like a McVay or Mike McDaniel, who's just young and innovative. Yeah. And you're trying to, those guys grinded. Mike McDaniel was the coach, was the run game coordinator for the Washington football team. And McVay was, you know, a seven, eight year assistant. No, I'm with you, but just the young analytical hire. Yeah. I mean, get younger at the position with you, but just the young analytical hire. Yeah, I mean.

Where you're trying to get younger at the position, and you're not trying to hire the mold of an older coach that's been around forever. It's definitely that, but he doesn't have the backstory that, like, the McVeigh tree does. Those guys are all grinded hard. It's way different, and football is way different. True, unless you're Jeff Saturday.

Unless you're Jeff Saturday, but you see that didn't last very long. Yeah, this is difficult, man. The art of coaching is way, way more complex and difficult than I know the game. He knows the game, and he communicates the game really well, which gives him a leg up as a coach, but it doesn't make him a good coach. And if you've never coached and you're put in that position, like that's a tough place to kind of grit your teeth and figure it out. Yeah. Coach of the Lakers. You are the Lakers coach. You've never coached before?

Like, coaching is very difficult and complex. A lot of it is not just knowing, and it's not just communicating. It's knowing when to communicate, who to communicate with, and then how to communicate with that person. And if you've only played, and that's why a lot of players don't coach really well, because if you've only played, you've only communicated in your way the way that was effective for you as a player. And that only matters a certain small percentage of time. As a coach, you're literally on the chopping block 100% of the time. chopping block 100% of the time.

Every word you say is and can be detrimental to the greater good of the whole team, or in this case, the whole franchise. Potentially affecting someone. Exactly. Anything you do or say. As a player, you're not used to that. You're used to, hey, man, I just— The way I treat this guy could affect these other guys, and you're not even thinking about it.

Exactly. Yeah. This guy could affect these other guys and you're not even thinking about it. Exactly. Yeah. And that's why this hire is just so crazy. And you have to be able to handle your assistants because they now have to listen to you. You have to delegate the authority there.

So many staff members and there's so many other things that if you've never done it before, it's it's a lot it's it's very very uh like i said it's complex and spo did a great job at this but they tried to get him fired yeah i was gonna ask and like just having lebron be the guy in your first job has got to be so difficult even if you've done a podcast even if he respects your x's and o's difficult even if you've done a podcast even if he respects your x's and o's it's lebron did spo go from video guy to was he an assistant was he on a bench i'm pretty sure he'd been on a bench before okay he didn't go video guy to head coach no right i'm pretty sure but he started you're right he started as a video yeah yeah coach yeah like uh kelly forbes not The video coach. Yeah. Like Kelly Forbes. Not that different. Video coach. But to deal with

LeBron in your first job, 40-year-old LeBron in your first job is just... That's crazy. I mean, obviously already knowing him has to help, but LeBron has never respected any coach that he's been given. So why is that going to change now? I would think he'd even respect JJ less.

Not less than Mike Brown, probably. That would be tough. When he first got hired, because he didn't know who he was. At least he probably had a hand in this hire. Yeah. Which kind of means JJ knows, don't mess with me, you're coaching the rest of the team. Yeah. Which kind of means J.J. knows, don't mess with me. You're coaching the rest of the team. Yeah. And, I mean, they have a couple of decent pieces,

but, you know, I don't know what Anthony Davis has left. Yeah, that's the problem is it's not a good team. It's not a good team. That's the bigger problem is he's taking a job where he's going to have attention as if he's coaching the best team, but they're not the best team. Can't LeBron theoretically opt out this year? Or is he locked in? I think he already has. He already has, so

he can sign somewhere else, possibly? Or force a sign and trade? I don't think it would even have to be a sign and trade. If he wants maxed out. Well, yeah, but I'm pretty sure, yeah, he could just sign with anybody right now. He could sign with Dallas right now.

So Josh Green. All right, you're looking for it. Hardaway. You've got to throw in Hardaway for the money. We're going to have to keep a pick to draft Brawny. Yeah, can't deal our second. I think it's interesting. I think it's interesting.

The whole mediated coaching thing is, at least in my experience, it's never been like this before. It's interesting. Quick addition on last night. Are you still here? Wow. KJ. I asked Dan. What the hell is going on?

I knew it was going to be off guard. He's been over here just deep diving basketball stats. Go ahead. Do you have something? Yeah, I've got something. Here you go. Jason Kidd did this. Obviously, he wasn't coming off of a podcast,

but I felt like that was relevant, was the last player to coach without prior experience Jason Kidd did this. Obviously, he wasn't coming off of a podcast, but I felt like that was relevant, was the last player to coach without prior experience was Kidd. Other than that, it was like in the 60s and 70s with Paul Silas and Dunleavy Sr. But on Kidd's team that year, you had Kevin Garnett, you had Paul Pierce and Mason Plumlee, Jason Terry, as far as like personalities you're having to deal with. None of those are LeBron, but you know, it's worth considering.

Well, you're, I mean, you're leaving out Nash. Right. Who was dealing with. I'm saying as far as last person to do this. I shouldn't say last person. Person you didn't mention. Yeah. Is what I'm trying to say.

Yeah. And we all thought the kid hire was weird. And it didn't work out well, right? No. And the Steve Nash thing didn't work out well. I don't know that you can say that. Like, let's try it again. Kid hire didn't work out well.

In Brooklyn? Are you talking about in Brooklyn or in Milwaukee? No, the Nets. Yeah, yeah. Brooklyn or Milwaukee, it didn't work out well. I was just going to say in Milwaukee, I mean, they did kind of develop Giannisis into a thing brooklyn was a disaster yes for sure but 44 and 38 so you know it didn't work out overall but you know winning record

whatever that counts for in the east hey thanks for popping back up man hey i asked dan directly you want me to stick around or nah and he's's like, I'll just keep doing my show. Yeah, I mean, just hang out. You can hang out all you want. Okay. In a zone? Maybe in the, we'll call it the hang zone. The place where you hang out on the phone, but you don't say a lot. I'm going to go look for some, I'm going to go figure out where I can hear Norman D or something.

I don't know. Thank you, fellas. All right. Thanks, man. Yeah, we'll go ahead and hit a break and then D. or something. I don't know. Thank you, fellas. All right. Thanks, man. We'll go ahead and hit a break and then we'll do the Cowboys cheerleader stuff. How about that, boys? The Dumb Zone.

The Dumb Zone. You're listening to the dumb zone it's 124 that's for those that are uh involved in our live broadcast, but I think most people will be involved in the recorded version. Is that what you tend to believe, Blake? Yeah, probably. I think so.

No puppet! But a nice response to the live shows. And define what that means. I don't know. We had like 3,000 viewers last time. We're doing pretty well today, too. That's the... Okay.

I mean, they might hate us, though. It's better than six. You're saying it's a nice response. Yeah. Technically better than six. Yep. He's right about that. Hey, everybody.

It's time to answer some of today's viewer mail. Wow. I have some viewer mail. And some actual mail. Snail mail. Did we ever open that one from the other day? You got something back there That was actually delivered to my house

I don't know if we want to do that today I don't even remember what it is Do you? You don't want to do it now? It's big scissors Oh Dude You want to say who it's from or anything or

Yeah I mean Somebody sent us I feel like we have a couple pair of big scissors. We have a pair of big scissors. I'm sorry for somebody who sent that to us. Yep. You can at least fake it. Hold them up.

Show the people. I will. Because the other pair is in the den. So maybe these will be the big scissors for the studio. Home away from home. Yeah. Big pair of scissors. And then we'll get one for our road kit.

Yeah. Like when we're out on a remote. We have them all the home. Yeah. Big pair of scissors. And then we'll get one for our road kit. Yeah. Like when we're out on a remote. Have them all the time. Yeah. Do they work? I don't know. Cut that box. Okay.

Cut your wrist. I was going to say, I'll try to cut your head off or something if you want. Boy, those are big, man. And they are sharp. Look, it's cutting them. Yeah, they work. I got something, and it looks like it's from the son of my fat doctor, who's really normal-sized.

His name is AJ. Yeah. He's a nice person. Yep. Really nice guy. Well, this was mailed to, yeah, it says it's from Austin. Shorn. Yeah. That's what tipped me off because my doctor is Shorn.

And this was sent to my house and it says two clam chasers. That is so, so Uncle Hotmail. I hadn't even thought of that one I'm sure we'll be hearing it again being a clam chaser but yeah he sent a couple things these are scrolls

are they from the dead sea there's a note in there you want to read the note and I'll hold the thing up whatever Dead Sea. There's a note in there. Do you want to read the note? And I'll hold the thing up? Whatever. All right, you can read. I don't think you can.

Okay. That actually was a pretty solid. What does it say on the outside? Outside. It says The Gash Guzzler Doesn't even make any sense No it doesn't It doesn't make any sense

Have you tried? So this Yeah I'll show the picture while you read Whatever he wrote Yeah it's on A very official type of paper. Please enjoy these canvases showcasing you boys as the work of art that you truly are.

These classic paintings will help demonstrate that this is not only a podcast of leisure, but of high art. As Dan knows, you'll find these paintings in the Louvre. Oh, really? Now, the first piece is, of course, Liberty leading leading people. Look at Jake.

Commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled King Charles X. That's X, Dan. It says X. Yeah. Twitter. Similarly, our DZ heroes made a heroic exit in July of 2023 and conquered their oppressor. The second piece, Gabrielle de Estris and her sister needs little explanation.

Of course. Dan and Jake share a warm bath, supple breasts exposed. Jake affectionately toggles Dan's nipple while Blake watches from the next room with a look of both pleasure and yearning. You're humble, student. Yeah, I am.

AJ's Sean. P.S. I didn't mount student. Yeah, I am. AJ, Sean. P.S. I didn't mount or frame these because I didn't want to presume how and where they might be used. Happy to do so if you'd like. Blake has got my email and stuff. All right. Thanks, AJ. Look, he opened up the envelope like a normal person for us. Once.

Didn't tear it open? Yeah, it teared in half. Didn't go full chimp. I'm reading this on the correct day now. Okay. I started this like three weeks ago, if you recall. It says, hello, sir. This is Jason Moritz. Day 204 subbie number 6834.

I wanted to send a shout-out to my daughter, birthday shout-out to my daughter, Casey. She's celebrating her Roberto Clemente birthday on June 24th. That's today, remember? 6-24-24? Yep. At 1.30 p.m.? Mm-hmm. You remember her, of course, as being the goaltender for you, Jake, and Bob during the Tyler Sagan Hockey Challenge.

This past year at Endicott College, she earned a starting position as a sophomore. She went 16-5-2 with a 1-4-1 goals against average and a 9-42 save percentage and five times one goalie of the week for her conference. He also wanted you to do the reaction video on the Eminem video, Houdini, which I think you've already done a little bit. That's from Jason. He's the guy, and now Jason has made like... He's an amateur video...

He made our video Stinger for the end of the show. Interstitial, I guess it is. But he's done a lot of new stuff as well. Did he make the Jake News open? Yeah. Okay. We'll get to that later during Jake's News. Mr. Dan, Monday is my wife Tina's

birthday. We've been married 20 years and I love her dealer. I don't plan on waking her up in that special way. Why? Because she's 50. What's wrong with that? He said, although I've never tried 50-year-old beaver, maybe I'll change my mind. Dominic liked that one. This is from Eric. Hopefully not soon to be divorced after she hears this in Wiley. Hey.

Mr. Dan, yesterday on June 23rd was my best friend Seth's birthday yesterday he's a Vikings fan so it was his CJ Ham birthday from Z 30? don't know it Tio Carrero

Correo Caliente is it gay or not gay for a grown man to send his birthday in for three other grown men to read on a podcast saying it's your Andy Reid punt, pass, and kick birthday? I'll hang up and listen. That's from Jack Sladek.

That sounds gay. Oh. Uncle Hotmail, as you see, I'm using the far superior electronic mail platform, Hotmail, which allows you to create what they call folders, where you can easily organize your messages. Yep. This is quite the advancement.

I left some fat scratch in the dumb zone Venmo tip jar for the shout out. I wanted to wish a happy birthday to my very best buddy, Scott Harper. He retired at age 51. Dang. He now travels around the country living in his converted van that he built out himself. You guys were talking about sprinter vans. He isn't now a professional wanderer. He travels with his partner, Melissa, who has her own van.

Scene control. We got a double van, Sitch? While he's hiking and seeing some of the country's most beautiful sights, he's downloading DZ Sodes and listening on the trail. His leader is the way Jake says okay while he's listening. From D.F. Ryan. Okay. I'll give you what you want.

Fuck it. Whoa. All right, Beth. I wouldn't say that. Hi, Bracket Dan. I want to wish my wife Ricky happy 30th. Ricky. We're going to L.A. next week.

We'd like to hear Jake's trail of tears for L.A. We will check out the Viper Room from Jeremy, day two. You know, I don't have a ton of experience out there. Jeremy. Miami is the one where I really went big, but I mean, the best I could do for you was the TMZ tour. Which,

if you want to be made fun of relentlessly by all of your friends for months on end, book that one. I loved it. I'll go again. You were asleep halfway through it. I was recording the whole thing. I have a photo of you. I may have been asleep. Asleep.

And Tio Correo Caliente, happy birthday to Zach Rutledge, former owner of the Infliction Club in Hearst. He has also cried at an Eric Church concert from Brett. What is this also? I don't know. I thought maybe he was saying that you did. I did not. I know you've cried and you go to concerts,

but I don't know if they've all... And I've cried at concerts, but I don't even really know who Eric Church is. My dad definitely does, though. Who, Eric Church? Yeah. I feel like he's told me about a weekend at an Eric Church concert before.

I also got this from Jeremy. Jeremy. There you go. Who is more Hawk Tua. Okay. He said, I think this could be the new wings for P-Bit. Mm-hmm. I had this also. So he wings for P-Bit. Mm-hmm. I had this also.

So he, well, he recorded something with his wife. So I'll play it for you. Can I get some hot tua tonight? What? Hot tua? If you take me to dinner. Really? Yeah.

All right, I'll go shower right now Alright he says That's all it took? That's easy He said all it took was a dinner at Abuelos I got in a fight there once At Abuelos? Why?

Yeah this is going to take a minute But I'll tell you I'm here for it. Yeah. So when I was like in probably fifth grade, a guy tried to steal my brother's bike. Who is a year or two younger than me. My brother was in second grade. And I caught him, you know.

So at this point, I'm 10. He's seven. And I was like hey fucks up trying to steal his bike and uh and and he from there on we had beef um we had multiple arguments at our youth association where we played baseball and football at our youth association where we played baseball and football. And then in high school, at one point, he threw a tennis ball at me, and it was a phenomenal throw in the hallway.

Oh, yeah. I was worried about this. Yeah, it hit me in the head. And then when I was probably a freshman in college, I went to that same abuelos in HEBE-B where this man to get hoctua uh and we just both saw each other and got up and walked outside and that was it it's just understood he was there with uh his parents or at least one parent and a sibling and I was there with my girlfriend and it was just like we both know what's up that's it and i beat the brakes off of him dan well he was seven time had progressed yep anyway um but that's what i think of when i think of abuelos of beating up a seven-year-old yep

of beating up a seven-year-old. Yep. One more, at least one more little thread. Getting a lot of response on Chisholm Trail. Yeah. Of course, we've got the sign. Somebody sent us the sign. It was very nice of them.

Did you know the sign was there, Dominic? I didn't. I'm aware now. It's right above my head is the old Chisholm sign. Well, you know I've long been fascinated by Chisholm Trail. And Jeff sent us, he says, a potential dumb zone White House. He sent us a listing. Rob, we have a picture of this.

He thinks a whole estate of Chisholm could be a good place to record sodes. We're using sodes now. It's taking off. Yeah. Yeah. So for only $325,000. Three beds, two baths, place in Hearst. It's a serene oasis in Chisholm Park Estates.

So there you go. Is this like our Donald Draper house, like your house in the city before you go home? Yeah. That'd be great, yeah. Stop by there. I don't know that there are really any serene oases in Hearst. Yeah.

Sure. Feels like it was written by AI. Yeah. And then Tim, because we were talking Chisholm Trail, as we will do, like last week, and he says, hey, dumb Fs, there's not another Chisholm Trail in Kansas. Somebody said, hey, we have a Chisholm Trail up here. He says there's one Chisholm Trail. It runs from San Antonio to Kansas.

There's not multiple Chisholm Trails. There were no railroads connecting Texas to the rest of the country, so these trails were established to get cattle to the closest train station. I respect this, or I expect this from, oh, it's the handle of a pan, Dan. But native Texans, Jake, Blake, and Danny should be ashamed of themselves. That's from day two, Tim.

To be honest, I almost used these scissors to slip my wrist. I was so ashamed. No. Who knows that? Tim. Tim? Yeah. That's a good point.

I'm going to play one thing, video man. It's the Trump thing that's not Hawk Tua. And I just wanted Dan to react to this. The video. This is from the group chat viewer mail today on Twitter, whatever you want to call it. It's a trump video signing autographs these people built america

so how does he hold a pen? Yeah, what I want to do is, I want to play that again, and I want you to pause it, video man, when it starts, so I can point out a member of the crowd in their t-shirt. Okay. As Trump says, these are the people who built America. Just take a look at this pause it there's a gentleman

a little bit above Trump who has a shirt on that says who shit my pants what the hell what the hell what is that all about There you go. What is that all about? I have no idea what it's about, but he's telling this crowd of people, these are the people who built America.

These are my people. These are my voters. Oh, okay. It's a Biden shirt. Oh, okay. It's got a little picture of Biden. You know what? I didn't even see that the first time through, but still.

Yeah. He's going to wear a T-shirt that's making fun of Biden. Okay, but still. Having a guy who's probably going to be president next and was president before. And you wore, I'm going to wear this to go meet him. I'm going to wear the shirt that says, who shit my pants? They're all holding up their phones. That's awesome.

I was laughing very hard at that this morning. Yeah, I guess, man. You're going to go meet the president and wear that. Did anybody wear that when they went to meet FDR? No, I think things are way different in this day and age, but I'm not sure. I'm not positive. We weren't around.

All right, so I'm not sure. I'm not positive. We weren't around. All right, so definitely want to talk about the Cowboys cheerleader documentary. On Thursday, we're going to do another video show, and Sarah Heppelo will join us because she's kind of like a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader expert. In fact, I have a piece of audio that will prove it. She was in the first episode of, it's called America's Sweethearts. I'm not sure that it gets made without her podcast. You think? You've seen that happen before, right? Where somebody does a podcast or somebody does a long article

about something and then it turns into, I call to mind the McDonald's Monopoly robbery thing. There was like a long article about it, and then somebody's like, holy hell, we can make this into a documentary. Yeah, that's a good point. Although the Cowboys are very media savvy. That's true. You know, they've done reality shows before on, you know, making the squad, Cowboy Cheerleaders. That's true. They've done reality shows before on making the squad,

Cowboy Cheerleaders. Kind of their hard knocks, I guess. And then this one, I guess. And they're in bed with the Jerry documentary on Netflix right now, so maybe it was all in conjunction. Didn't they have a

show where a guy made the 53? Oh, the Cowboys, yeah. Cowboys? Didn't they have a show where a guy... He had a read. He made Training Camp. He blocked Jake on Twitter. He actually ended up making the practice squad and then got on the 53.

Jesse Hawley. Yeah. He's a good friend of mine now. Yeah. Let's get him in here. He'll do it. He's a good friend of mine now yeah let's get him in here he'll do it he's a friend call him now uh mostly you can get here by the end of the show mostly dm but so you saw episode one i did did anything stand out that you want to talk about uh well but i wanted to say you know thursday we'll probably get into even more of this so i don't know if you guys can watch them all by then but i will i definitely will um so i didn't watch the cmt show so i don't know how different uh how different this is from that um but cmt used to run i think they said they started in like 2006 yeah Is that the making the squad thing? Yeah. Yeah. And I remember,

um, not being that interested in, in that show at the time for sure. But, uh, this is like really, really compelling to me and it's gross and I'm conflicted about it. Why?

I don't know. It's kind of like what you were talking about with uh the white landscaper i don't want to tell women how they should talk to other women but it makes me uncomfortable watching women be so mean to other women like it's fine to have a coach scream at you yeah i'm just used but not to have a woman scream at a woman. Or have a woman say, she's fine, but we got to change her hair. She's fine, but she needs a full makeover. Or she's gross. I don't know.

It just makes me so uncomfortable. And there's a lot of that. Like a whole lot of that in the first episode. Yeah. I'm trying to keep everything within episode one here because i watched just three the fact that they're we've always heard how underpaid they are which you know they they take a shot at like gen z and millennials of oh they just they don't want to do anything that's not for money you want to get right into that yeah because i have that's my big piece of audio.

It's like a two-minute clip. Okay. And let's stop and start it, though. Because, yeah, so they're originally talking here about Kelly Finglass. Or is it Fine Glass? She is the director. Huh? I think it's Finglass, yeah.

Finglass. She's the director. She was a cheerleader in 1988 and kind of like the Hooters manager, you know, used to be a Hooters girl. It's kind of the same thing. Um, you know,

and I would even think it would be hard to be this cheerleading director without, and this must be what players think if they see a coach who never played. How much respect do you got for a guy who never played anything? I know you've always wondered, how do the San Diego Padres deal with Mike Schilt, who never played minor league baseball at all? We talk about that a lot. All the time.

Yeah, that's pre-show every day. But she's been in the cut. She's made the team. She's had to be out on the field. She was a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. So I think that has to carry a lot of more respect when she is telling them why they didn't or did or didn't do something. But hold on real quick.

Because we've been talking about this a lot over the past week, 10 days. Is there a deal where it's different than it is with athletes? Is there like a Rick Carlisle cheerleader? Is there a grinder who could teach it better than somebody who was a superstar? See, I don't know. And I don't know if she was a superstar. And I was having trouble with that in my head too because when we talk about money and you talk about why do players deserve it,

it's because there's a clear difference in people are coming out to see LeBron and Michael Jordan and players who are clearly better. It's pretty obvious to everybody. If you've never watched a game, but then you start watching it. I remember I hadn't seen much hockey, but you go to a Stars game in 1999. You're like, that guy's way better than... And it was Mike Madonna. You could just tell.

Can you tell? I can't, but one people who are really into dance tell yeah i don't know beth says no and that's why it seems like yeah i i don't know asked and answered but anyway so yeah let me get to this uh audio and there's a ton of other stuff in here but um so kelly is the director she used to be a cheerleader. And Charlotte, your love, is talking about Kelly, and then they'll get into money and everything. Kelly was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made.

In 1990, I hired her as our director. When we came in as a family and when my dad came in, the team was in financial disarray. Isn't it kind of funny too that Jerry Jones buys the team and I have a daughter and I have a son. All right, the son, let's groom him to run the team. The daughter, hey, you can handle the cheerleaders. Yeah, but it was never going to be another way.

My conversation with Charlotte was, look, we're losing money every year with the cheerleaders. Can you keep the cheerleaders doing what they do best, but make it a profit center? She did things like introduce swimsuit calendars, the reality show in 2006.

The magic is in the knot. Ooh. Hold your breath. Get Mattel to do a special edition DCC Barbie. And the revenue is in excess of a million dollars a year. And what's more important is the cheerleaders stand on their own. They're a self-contained financial entity. That was also from like an old news report.

So who knows what the cheerleaders can be responsible for now. Yeah. But that was a million 20 years ago, it seemed like he was. At least. Yeah. But it's important to point out.

So this is Sarah, actually. Sarah Heppela is actually in the documentary. But it's important to point out the cheerleaders have historically not been paid very much. The girls will only be paid $15 per game, but they don't appear interested in the money. I was really surprised that they paid anything because I just thought, you know, because it's an honorary position that you just did it because you wanted to. I'm her overlap. I really am. It's all worth it.

I think my game day fee was $35, and we basically donated that back. These millennials, ex-gen, whatever they're called. Ex-gen. Yeah. These millennials, ex-gen, whatever they're called, they do look at it as a job, where us old-timers look at it as more of a privilege. How much are you making as a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? So this is a current cheerleader. How much are you making?

I would say I'm making like a substitute teacher. I would say I'm making like a Chick-fil-A worker that works full time. What do we say that is? 30, 40? 30 grand? 30, 35, yeah. Okay. You know, there's a lot of cynicism around pay for...

This is Charlotte. For NFL cheerleaders, and as it should be. They're not paid a lot. But the facts are is that they actually don't come here for the money. They come here for something that's actually bigger than that to them. They have a passion for dance. There are not a lot of opportunities in the field of dance to get to perform at an elite level. It is about being a part of something bigger than themselves. It is about a sisterhood that they were able to form, about relationships that they have for the rest of their life.

They have a chance to feel like they're valued, that they're special, and that they are making a difference. When the women come here, they find their passion and they find their purpose. The question would be, of course, could they do all of those things? While also making more money? And each make $100,000 a year. Yeah. And the thing that jumped out to me was when she said,

there's a lot of conversation around it and there should be. Right. It's like, well, you could just pay them more yeah you're especially when you make kind of controlling that conversation yeah they make so much they're worth so much yeah i just it's it's the question of do you do you feel i mean obviously they don't feel an obligation to pay more if they don't have to. But there's 36 of them, and if they changed it from $35,000 to $70,000, that's like a negligible amount for the overall revenue of the Cowboys.

They could easily do that. And it just seems weird to me for her to be like, yeah, I understand. You know how Gordon makes the joke of, I stand with those who stand against me, which I think is like a Matt Damon quote? It feels like what she's doing. Like, I understand. I understand.

Yeah. I'm not going to change it. Yeah. So that's obviously a really interesting thread of this whole thing. And I think what a lot of people will say is that it opens up other revenue streams for them. Sure, but I mean, that's what they try to sell Dak on, being the Cowboys quarterback. You don't have to make top dollar because you will make more as the Cowboys quarterback in endorsements than the Bengals quarterback will make.

Yeah, and I've heard- But does that mean that I- What's the market? Why shouldn't I? It's not like you're not maximizing. You're charging as much as you can for parking, even though you can sell lots of t-shirts because you're the Dallas Cowboys. Well, why do you charge $200 for parking?

Why don't you just charge $20 for parking because you're the Dallas Cowboys, right? Yeah, of course. It doesn't work on their end. I've heard our friends in the music industry say this before. They call it the Big E. What's that? It's when somebody tells you like but you're gonna get exposure you're like oh well that's not really worth anything to me what am i gonna do with my

exposure i mean it is it's like we wonder what is the uh the instagram is growing right and they say you got to grow your numbers you got to get more okay what does that translate into? I respect Rachel's work. Thank you. No, not just Rachel. I'm looking at Blake. But what does it mean? What does it translate into? Be very clear about that.

Actual dollars. I don't know. It's a lot better. It's not something you can put in numbers or stats. And that's the point. That's why we don't pay Rachel. But there is a point of this where they know what they're signing up for, right? Oh, and they all seem really into it.

Sure, no. And that's the point. There's really not like an air of – That's why they don't pay. Yeah. I thought it was weird that like the coach was like, Oh, this ex-gen doesn't get it because it seemed to me that everybody they talked to was really really on board with what they were doing also if you watch this show my guess is one thing's

going to jump out at you pretty quickly which is that i think it's weird to be interviewed as a female sitting um crisscross applesauce did Did you notice that at all? I didn't really notice that, no. Like, for the interviews, they're sitting like, Indian style. Sound like Blake's excited about watching the show tonight. It makes me uncomfortable.

It made me uncomfortable. The whole show makes me uncomfortable. How come? Like I said, it's just the girl who, first of all, did not know that they make them audition every single year. So even if you're like a four or five-year vet, you have to come back and do it all over again every single year.

So they got a new crop coming in. They said they get thousands of applicants. They bring about 70 of them to live auditions, and they keep 36. I mean, every player has to go to training camp. Players get contracts, though. It's competition. Players get contracts, but you can get cut, even with a contract. But it's a lot tougher.

That's pretty ruthless. But they do say, I mean, it does seem like as they're doing the auditions and stuff, as I've watched three episodes now, the vets do get a bit of a little leeway a little leeway yeah i know you've been here before you do know what it takes they make them turn their gear in that's weird because it's it's custom you have a uniform and they make you turn it back in so that you feel like you're starting over every year and it's custom fitted to them and you don't get to keep it if you get cut even though it's custom fitted to them. And you don't get to keep it if you get cut, even though it's custom fitted to you. Yeah.

It's hardcore. One of the girls, I didn't even take note of this, but I heard Brunig talking about it. In fact, Brunig texted us like, hey, you guys got to really watch this thing. Yeah. Victoria, she's the second generation. And Victoria, she's the second generation. And apparently, as I've watched a few more episodes, there have been three or four of these. Mother-daughter. Mother-daughter type of thing.

And at least the first two that I've seen them reference did not make it in their first go-around. And I almost think that might even be a detriment to you if you are second generation, because now the person doing the cuts has this thought in their head like, oh, you think you're just going to walk in here and because your mom was a cheerleader, I'm going to make you a cheerleader because I cheered with your mom. So I wonder if it's even harder to make the team as second generation. I don't know.

No, it makes sense. Like, because they, they know that you're going to come back. And so they're almost saying, Hey, next year, but we're going to put this little psychological dent into you, um, to make sure that, you know, you ain't shit. Yeah. You're going to have to come back. And it does make it for sure. It does make it okay for when they are cutting people to say, hey, others

have come back next year and. Yeah. And actually made the team. So it's not like you're totally out. But certainly you're totally out. Like you're not going to get picked up by another team. And, you know, that's. It's a little different on that front for sure. Yeah. And some people, a lot of these girls or women or whatever we can call them, not biological males. I don't know what to do. I'm watching them untangle that one. Ex-Gen wants me to do, are from across the country.

Yeah. I mean, a lot of them said that they had moved there or here just for that. Yeah. Which is really weird. And then you might not make it. Because you don't get that. As you know, my stepsister was a Titans cheerleader. But no one's moving across the country just to try out to be a Titans cheerleader. Yeah.

That's why our grid's messed up. Because of all these people moving here Trying to be cheerleaders Okay But the thing about Victoria Do I need to get gas soon? Victoria the second generation They've been dropping hints I don't know if they dropped a hint in episode one

So I don't want to spoil it But I haven't seen the final of this But it feels like she had an eating disorder before They're just dropping hints. They haven't got to explain it yet, but they've been dropping hints about how she needed to get her energy up and blah, blah, blah.

The other thing is, though, that Brunig pointed out to me, she lives in what seems to be a little kid's room. It's so weird, dude. I think she still lives with her mom yeah that's cause she's like 24 or 25 or something

yeah but it's decorated as if she was 8 and it's like a full sized bed and she's sitting she was crisscrossed the whole time on the bed I'm like there's cowboy stuff everywhere just I don't know

that made me really, really uncomfortable. She's like, I love it. Like she has never left that period of life. Yeah. And like her mom talks to her like she's a child. She's clearly just seeking the approval of her mom every single time that she's at practice or any scene like that. I don't know. It grosses me out.

One rookie is 31. I don't think I got that far. Yeah, I thought that was in episode one. You'll see it later. She's an orthodontist. Okay, yes. That's the daughter right there. She's not the orthodontist, as you might have...

No, the orthodontist, though... All right, Mr. Veneers, now you're throwing shots at people. Is the orthodontist the perfect woman? What if your wife was an orthodontist? Yep. Making that kind of bank. Then she goes and she's a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader on the weekend. At 31.

And she's 31. Okay, but what if she wants to leave her main job to do this? And you're counting on that paycheck. I think most of them, as we found out from the time that Danny smoked meth or whatever he did with the Cowboys cheerleader, I think most of them keep their full-time jobs because there was one lady who was saying that she was, and it might have, I don't think it was the orthodontist,

but she's like, yeah, I have a, oh, she was a nurse, right? Yeah. She's like, I have a 7.30 to 30 to 4 30 job then i go to practice from 6 to 10 or 11 i get home at midnight i go to bed at one and i'm back up at 6 a.m to do my my nursing job or gig or whatever like full time she can have no life yeah it's just this a couple other notes that I have. They showed the judging, the judges that they bring in for the initial dance, I guess. Yeah, that was weird.

That was weird. Just a lot of different media people. One guy is like a CBS weatherman or something. Was confused about his role. One, Christy Scales seems to be a big part of this thing. I think we should get Christy in here sometime. Sure. To talk about that and the Cowboys.

They want the weather report. What's that? I'm pretty sure she's the one in the background of the Mickey clip. Oh, really? Oh, that's not a producer? Okay, we'll play that for her. It might might be but i feel like they're all on headset and uh no no i think the judges when they sat around judging nope like when they were sitting around the table going okay who likes so-and-so i think that should should be private because i feel like you're peer pressured when Kelly raises her hand.

I'm going to raise my hand too and say. But in that sense, it's really not that different from the draft room. I mean, I've heard my brother talk about this before of like, do you really want to disagree with? And that's in like the Belichick book. The guy who brought you in? You know, the scout or the coach who brought you in? That's why it should be.

It should be, yeah. It shouldn't be public. Yeah. But for whatever reason, and maybe this is just like, again, male guilt, it's just so much weirder for me to watch this than it is Hard Knocks.

Like when you watch Hard Knocks and they're like, basically like, this guy's, he doesn't have it i'm like yeah tough break but whenever they're doing it about women and about their looks and not necessarily even about their talent it makes it way more uncomfortable to me like when they're like oh nice curls we'll bring her back yeah no it's it's super weird it's interesting it's a different world thing but it's it's uncomfortable it's a part of your world yeah and one more note they were just going over the history and you think about today's

general manager what the jerry excluded because he's the anomaly. But just think of your general manager of your sports team. Tech Schramm invented this. He was the GM. Yeah. But he was also worried about the cheerleaders and how to make money that way. And I just feel like things have changed a little bit.

Yeah. My guess is that Brett Veach or whoever is not checking in on the Tomahawk ladies. Yeah, it's really, really weird. But, I mean, obviously it worked out for him. Revenue-wise. Yeah, in the end. All right. You guys got anything else before we move on to news?

Speak now or forever hold your peace. I'll hold it. Here's Jay with the Dove Zone News. What an open. It's going to be so distracting. I can't not look at how awesome it is. Mark Cuban got hacked. Oh, what do you mean?

Cyberdust? Yeah, why if it wasn't using Cyberdust? But his actual regular Gmail got hacked. Didn't he once say he wouldn't come on our show unless you contacted him through Cyberdust? It wasn't. It's even worse than that he said dust me sorry yeah hey i'm i'm pro mark cuban he's thrown he's just tried anything he can yeah why not try it and it might have picked up and it didn't and he goes on right to the next thing. Yeah. So, yeah, I've dusted him a few times.

Is that still a thing? I don't think so. I think Snapchat kind of eventually, like... Yeah, won the war. Won the war, yeah. So, in a now-removed post on Twitter, and I love how news outlets have to do this now, they all say, in a now-removed post on X, formerly Twitter.

Just because no one really knows it is X? Yeah. Said he was hacked after he received a call from a fake Google representative who imitated the company's account recovery methods. And what did they sound like? You can guess if you want. Hello? Hello?

Are you an Uber driver? Yeah, just play that on him. Dan guessed. I'm just saying if they were faking a customer service representative, you would think they'd have to get into character in a way. Yeah. Dan would be really good at this. There's no

cyber dust. I was just looking for it. It's not in the app store anymore? No. So he tweeted out the phone number. I suppose just raising awareness. He tweeted out the phone number. He tweeted out the name of the person that he said was scamming him.

And then said, if anyone gets anything from mcuban at gmail.com after 3.30 it's not me but if he can get that's what I was going to say the fact is if Cuban can get hacked

and get scammed I assume they're looking to hack 80-year-olds. Wouldn't he have two-factor? Two-factor? Yeah, everyone does that. I hate two-factor. Yeah. Two-factor?

Uh-huh. I mean, I don't do it if I can avoid it. I probably shouldn't announce that. I was going to say, did you just announce to the world that you don't own a gun? I'm going to have to start that up. Is the point of it just you just have to go to the Authenticator app and that's it? You probably know this. I do the Authenticator app for Coinbase or whatever.

Yeah, I do it for crypto. But, you know, no, sometimes it's... Isn't there a thing where you have to then go to your email every time? Yeah. Okay. And Cuban didn't have that. That's surprising to me. The body of a missing kayaker, a 23-year-old man,

was recovered Sunday from the Trinity River after he drowned. This happened around 175, Highway 175 in Crandall. I see people, sometimes I go pick up breakfast on the other side of the lake. Like if you have to drive to Flower Mound. That's a pretty far drive. Why? Well, I haven't done it since I've lived by you. But when I lived in Grapevine, there's a place over there that,

and it's like 15 minutes. There's a couple places over there I like. Get a little brekkie. And I see people out there, and I'm like, man, they look really alive. Out there kayaking in? Yeah, in Grapevine Lake. 9 a.m.? Yeah.

And it looks awesome. But I do feel like I'm pretty high on the percentile of you could die doing this. Somehow you screw it up, you tip over. Yeah, how ironic, too. You wanted to feel more alive. Yeah, now you're dead. Oh, no! But that's the thing. I see people out at Grapevine Lake all the time and think, I should be taking more advantage of the thing.

I see people out at Grapevine Lake all the time and think, I should be taking more advantage of the lake. It's right there. There's so much cool stuff you can do. Like I told you about that camp my daughter did last week. So I was driving by there every day and thought, I should be out here more. We have a cool lake. It's huge.

Right here. It's too hot. Could you swim across the whole lake? Could I or could someone? You. Like how far is it? Chappy used to do the triathlons. Yeah, it was

like a mini triathlon, but I mean, yeah, he would he still swims. Like how far is the lake across? Is it a mile? I really don't know. No one knows. Does anyone know? Nope. No one will ever know.

It's impossible to know. It's impossible to know. I was going to look at the map and try and figure it out just visually. There have been a couple times where on a dude's trip, do you have a result there? It sounded like somebody had a bing. It's only about as long

as my pinky. What's the scale? That's probably doable then. There's been a couple times on a dude's trip where... Let's do it for the show. Jake has to swim across.

For what? What's the content play? Come see it? What's you doing something with the lake? You'll get into the afternoon and you're four or five in and you're like, I'm swimming across this thing. Which is the worst idea. That's how people die. In fact, not to speculate,

but it's possibly how this young man passed. That alcohol was involved somewhere? You'd have to, I mean, you know. Speaking of water deaths, an actor from Pirates of the Caribbean died in a shark attack while surfing. Which is just horribly,

horribly ironic. Yeah. And it's really rare, right? And there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there. By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that? There is. He was right. He predicted it.

Yep. But shark attacks are very rare, right? They are rare, but they're... Isn't it like one a year? No, dude. Way more than that. More deaths than one a year? I don't know about deaths.

So there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat. 10 yards. Dan's right. One fatality every two years. Yeah, but the attacks are like, I'm looking at it, 60 a year. But the chances are you won't die. That's pretty good. Yeah, but you're mangled.

Yeah. You don't want that. This is their... There were 14 confirmed shark-related fatalities this year, 10 of which were assigned as unprovoked. What were the other four? The other four were like, what's up? What's up, bitch?

You want smoke? Hey, bitch. Yeah, parking lot at Abuelos, cute fin what's up oh you're real tough yeah maybe get over there with your fin water you swimming around you want a piece yeah i mean i do think it's happening more now though um just because of we're like socializing them to people because like people will go out and dive with sharks more now video man have you ever done like a are you scuba guy at all okay i feel like that's a lot of times same guy yeah a guy who's really into skydiving is probably into scuba yeah soft container underwater breathing apparatus um but we what's skydiving stand for your he says your mom um we've we've socialized them to being around people more

because people go out and do these tours and to see them they have to put meat in the water right they have to chum the water so that the shark will come to the cage and then they're like oh people that means food hmm i think it's i i do think it's actually happening more now but to be an actor on pirates of the caribbean and Caribbean and be in the water for much of your career and then die from a shark, that's a tough break. It's like if you died when you opened Audition and it electrocuted you or something. Moment of silence. For that guy.

That was it. So there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat. I thought this was an odd note from the story. It says lifeguards brought the man to shore by jet ski, which I don't...

Why does it have to be put in the story at all? I know. It's just a really odd addition. Lifeguards brought... What if it was by tube? Like they laid him on the tube? He's weakening Bernies.

In their tubing, yeah. Yeah, yeah, the banana float. And it says, by jet skiing, paramedics assisted with the death pronouncement. Like if you die on... Like Why do you have to do that? Right. Clearly, the editor needed 500 words. They put him on a sled.

I've been there. Yeah. We've all been there. But yeah, do they make you snowboard down dead? They just kind of tie you to the thing. I don't know. And where was that? That was in Honolulu.

Oh, okay. Which I think is actually where we were. No, but man. Not a lot of sharks around here. Not a lot of sharks around here. I don't think that's how the Trinity River kayaker passed, but definitely Galveston area. Gulf of Mexico is a hot zone.

For sharks? Yeah. I'd like to call your bluff. But I've never been there and you have, so it must be right. The Gulf of Mexico is a known shark area. I know, and you're saying it with a lot of authority, but I've heard this before. Anyways. And later it'll be a montage.

The Texas coast is one of the safest waterfronts in this regard. God bless. Result one. He just fact- fact checked you right away 17 shark bites in 100 years None of them are bites None of them are bites They're all attacks

Well he's saying If there's only 17 bites 17 in a century That means you'd get 17 bites within one attack He's saying there's just never an attack I'm just reading You'd get 17 bites within one attack. He's saying there's just never an attack. I'm just reading. An Amber Alert for a missing six-month-old child in El Paso.

This is from visitgalveston.com. What are they going to say? They're probably trying to cover it up. They're not going to tell you anything. It's not as hot as I thought it would be. Did you just yawn? Yeah, he's tired of your news. An Amber Alert for a missing six-month-old.

This is the last one. Missing six-month-old child in El Paso has been discontinued, and I only bring this up because I got this alert this morning, and I was wondering. You haven't turned that off on your phone. I wanted to ask whether or not you had. Oh, for sure.

You do. You have it off. I think I did it. It was like a year or so ago. Do you remember that one that came at night? Yeah. And it was like from Houston. Yeah.

It was like, it was like, wait, wait. And it just woke everybody up and it's like, Whoa, Whoa. And you know,

I don't want to be woken up if my own family dies in the middle of the night, let alone if something happened in Houston. I love Saroy's bit on this. What's that? He gets up and just kind of peeks out the blinds, and he's like, all right, I did my part. I looked. I looked. Because, like, what are you going to do? You're right. It's in Houston. Like, I did my part. I looked. I looked. Because, like, what are you going to do?

You're right. It's in Houston. Like, what am I going to do? One of the funniest videos I've ever seen in my life is, what's his name? Mark something? Zuckerberg. No. Stein. We can play it.

Whatever. It's just YouTube Mark Amber Alert. The fuck is that guy's name but i think there's the only chance is that there might be an n-word in here but i don't think so dump and chase yeah you can't do that but it's just like a video about how they expect you to react when you get an amber alert what color is mark mark curry before we know if he's not. Mark is not white. Okay, well then, yeah.

But yeah, just that you're supposed to spring into action with your boys and all assemble. Looking for a license plate. Yeah. Like, what are we supposed to do? We got it. It's a gray Honda. Yeah.

The plates check out. But were they dirty? How about silver? Yeah, do they have mud on the plates? Right. Yeah, silver alert. You know, my theory on that has always been that there's like an island of people, old people living together. That they just disappeared.

Because you just hear, you see the sign and you're like, well, where are they all, because you just hear, you see the sign and you're like, well, where are they all going? Off to die. It's possible. You want to try it? You have it? Oh, he doesn't have it.

Okay, no worries. No worries. Yeah, I don't know. I don't really know about the silver alert. I assume that they're all found or all dead. Yeah, they don't really update it after. They really don't. No, you very rarely see the story like this one where they say, oh, okay, this is what happened.

But yeah, I got this one pretty early this morning. And the first thing I thought was, Dan didn't get this. Yeah, I didn't. I'm oblivious to that. But I hope they found the kid. That's where I stand. I got in an anime fight with him. They did find the kid.

Excellent. They did find the kid. And I suppose there's your news. The Dumb Zone News. Like and subscribe. That's a kick-ass graphic. That is a kick-ass graphic. Thanks to Jason.

The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. Oh, this is me. It's Monday, June 24th. I've mentioned that quite a few times already. Yeah, what time is it? 221. Fantastic. Which tells me we've been going 221.

Yeah, now I don't have to incorrectly guess. If we start at noon. Although, if you are listening to the audio version of the Sode, the cast, the potty. It would be different. Then, yeah, it'll be because you're going to cut out the long break because we need a long break when we're on when we're live streaming on youtube you know for unless we wore those uh diapers that the astronaut wore uh lisa novak or how about uh starting the list, so don't play the sounder. Didn't the lady from your high school... Wendy Davis. Do that when she filibustered?

She wore a diaper? Yeah. Would you pay for that diaper on eBay? I'm really not into that, to be honest. I thought you kind of liked her. I like her quite a bit. I'm not a big piss play guy. I didn't know

you were so reserved. Okay, so on this day in 1947, it's regarded as the first modern UFO sighting took place as private pilot Kenneth Arnold, an Idaho businessman, reported seeing nine silvery objects flying in a weaving formation in Washington. You were in Washington, Kenneth Arnold.

What do they mean by modern sighting? After a merger or something? It's an ABA? You know, probably not when... The Super Bowl era? Yeah. I was going to say not when Picasso was painting, but this would have been exactly when Picasso was painting. Yeah, yeah, he was cooking.

On this day in 1972... I like where this is headed. ...pulminating a long battle to reach professional baseball, Bernice Guerra. She umpires the first game of a doubleheader between Auburn and Geneva. These are minor league teams in the New York Penn League. Okay. Several disputes take place.

She ejects the Auburn manager. This is a doubleheader. Before the second game, she resigns, Auburn manager. It was a doubleheader. Before the second game, she resigns, leaving in tears. Aw. Speaking of the hard knocks for ladies, which we can call the Cowboys Cheerleader Show, a lot of crying. There is a lot of crying.

A lot of crying. I'm not one to judge on that front. It doesn't let up in episode two and three. A lot of crying. There is a lot of crying. A lot of crying. I'm not one to judge on that front. It doesn't let up in episode two and three. A lot of crying. I don't know. If a veteran gets cut. Everyone cries. So a couple vets got cut for some of the rookies coming in.

And then during the celebration, all the veterans are crying. Yeah. So the rookies are there, but they're like, I can't really enjoy this because everybody's so sad that their friends aren't here anymore. Yeah, well, in the case of the umpire specifically, aggressive play to eject a manager in the first leg of this doubleheader. Well, do you think they were being real cool with her?

No, I don't. I don't. How's the name Bernice doing? Bernice. How's that in the 2020? It hasn't come back around, it doesn't feel like. No. Like, you got your Nora.

That feels like an older name, but that's coming back. Yeah. I don't think Bernice... It doesn't have that feeling like it would come... Like, Nora feels elegant. Yeah, Bernice... Whereas Bernice sounds... Fat.

How did we both just say that at the exact... Okay. There's Bernice. I would have respected her. Is that her in action? On this day in 1974... You're out of here. You're out of here.

Hit the shower, see? Did you guys used to cry after cuts in football? All the guys in the room? Dominic. All the guys who made the team? Because you were one of the stars on the team. He's not looking at me. Jake played football too. Can we not?

We couldn't get cut. That's a no. He couldn't get cut. Yeah, there's no crying. Let's see. Steve Busby, on this day in 1974, retired the first nine White Sox, setting an American League record

with 33 consecutive batters retired. Dang. Because he had thrown a no-hitter in the previous game. Amazing. It really is. It's just amazing. That's Steve Busby. Once threw a no-hitter.

Or two. Not just threw a no-hitter. I mean, he was dominant for a stretch. Yeah. It's crazy. And on this day in 1998, the Dallas Mavericks drafted... Anyone? Robert Tractor-Trailer. Robert Trailer with the sixth overall pick. And that's all that happened.

The funniest part about that Is that Donnie kind of left We once had Donnie Nelson in studio Do you know this? Yeah, oh yeah You don't have to tell Dominic And it was what? It was Robert Traylor's death day It was the day that he died

He died that morning Yeah And yes We asked him if... No, not we. If he thinks the Mavs won that trade. He laughed a little bit. Because he knows they did. Yeah.

Current Cowboy Wanya Thomas is 24. He scored the first touchdown of the season. Did he? Really? And he returned the kick against the Giants? Or did he block it? I know he had a blocked kick in that game. He either blocked it or

returned it for a touchdown. There's no way to know. Former Ranger Robbie Ross is 35. Former star Yeri Letnan is 51. Love death metal. I used to think his number should be retired.

And you've come around on the other side of that? I wonder. I don't know. I mean, he was great. He was great. I loved him. He loved playing flipper. We ran into him and a couple of the Finns when we went to training camp in Colorado one year. Because when Bob and Dan first started,

we had to pay our dues, so they wouldn't send us to the Super Bowl. Instead, we got to go to the NHL All-Star game. And they didn't send it. I don't know if we didn't go to. No, we went to training camp. But for some reason, they sent us to Stars training camp too. Okay.

And then he would tell us. Gary Lettenham was like, we'd be like, hey, what'd you do today? All the Stars were so cool. They've always been really cool. Yeah. Like just the hockey players in general. And he was like, ah,

yeah, we play flipper. We're like, oh, okay. Like, Hey, what do you guys do in your spare time?

Oh, flipper. All right. That's, I had no idea what he meant. And then one day we kind of saw him out. And they just left lunch or something and, hey, what are you guys doing? Oh, we're going to play Flipper. Okay.

And so we walked with him. It was a pinball machine. Okay. But in Finland, apparently they don't have pinball or they do call it Flipper. Anyway. That story rocked. God damn it. I knew it would suck. Great story. rocked god damn it i knew it was a great story once i got into it though you you were committed i'm in yeah and i couldn't and i've told you a

million times before about how funny it is to watch him play basketball roll back down here all hockey players are not really all but but specifically the Nordic players. A lot of set shots. No jump shots. No jump shots being taken. A lot of travels. Yeah, I could have hit 20 and 10 easily. Messi is 37.

I was in Spain when he was like 17. Was he a big deal? Dude, he was God. It was LeB 17. Was he a big deal? Dude. He was God. It was LeBron. Did you watch any Copa over the weekend? I did not. I mean, I saw some highlights, Blake, but I didn't watch. I had no idea it was at AT&T Stadium.

Yeah. No clue. The United States played a game at AT&T Stadium. All right. Apparently it was a big deal. Yeah. Is that part of the World Cup? No, it's not part of the World Cup.

The World Cup is just the World Cup. Well, I know. We have other games. It's like qualifying. Yeah. No, this is a separate tournament. Okay. It wasn't that bad of a question.

No. It was, ah, don't. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Until I watched the news last night, I had no idea. Mixed reviews. My question.

JJ Redick is 40. Wow. Happy birthday, bud. Happy birthday, man. Here's a team. Rich Eisen is 55. I think I like him. Yeah.

I remember when he left ESPN It was like oh my god what's he doing Yeah Can't leave ESPN Monet Davis is 23 You remember her? Remind me Little League pitcher

Oh wow yeah okay That was dominant in the World Series Little League World Series Actor Peter Weller is 77 Hit me RoboCop Oh wow He is RoboCop

That's a great movie Bitches leave It really is Well I hope the Alamo comes back. It's a great movie. Solange. Knowles. Knowles.

Once punched Jay-Z in an elevator. I mean, how many Solanges are there? And. Wait, Destiny's Child was like Roy Williams. Solanges, are there? And... Wait, Destiny's Child. Was, like, Roy Williams, the defensive back, dating someone from Destiny's Child? Yes.

Not Solange, but Kelly Rowland. Rowland. Rowland? That sounds right. Kelly Rowland. Yeah. And I think she's from Dallas. She is. Yeah. Mindy K. And I think she's from Dallas. She is.

Yeah. Mindy Kaling is 45. The Office. Funny. I think. Yeah. All right. Born on the stain, now dead.

Chuck Taylor. Of the shoe? I think of the shoe. Says here he died the day before his birthday, so he must have died yesterday. He almost did it. Almost closed it. Also born on this day now, Dad, Charles Joseph Whitman. Who's that, Blake?

Walt Whitman? I don't know. No. Let's see if Dominic knows. I know Jake does. Charles Whitman? I don't know. No. Let's see if Dominic knows. I know Jake does. Charles Whitman? Yeah. Charles Joseph Whitman is the way people will refer to him.

I got nothing. If you've ever seen Full Metal Jacket, they talk about him there. The Tower? He's the Tower. He did the Austin shooting. Have you heard of that? Oh, okay. Yeah.

He killed 17 people in a mass shooting at the University of Texas. Before he did that, he killed his mother and his wife that morning. Yeah, it's a wild story because I think he probably had what we would now call PTSD. Right, that's why he was featured. That's why the sergeant was talking about him in full metal jacket because he was heralding him, holding him up as a, that's what a great shot a Marine is.

Yeah. That he only fired like 18 rounds, but he killed 17 people. Yeah, and I think that they might have looked at his brain afterward, and it was not... All mushied up? Yeah, it was not a good situation. Died on this day, still dead. I actually got an email about this today.

It is Grover Cleveland, who there's a few copy points. One is, what, do you want to give copy points? Sometimes I mix these up, but if I'm, did he go to the nursery? He went to the nursery, but I was going to first say at least he was the only president, as the emailer Brian says, so far. Yeah, Joey's maybe chasing this record down. Who served two non-consecutive terms.

Oh, I thought you were going to say died in the White House. No. Okay. He was the 22nd president and the 24th. DT. And that's what, yeah, Donald is looking to get that. Yeah. No, but I'm pretty sure my copy point on him is,

and I don't have the exact numbers or specifics, but he married a woman that he met when he was probably 25 to 30, and she was a baby. So Brian. She was a friend. She was the daughter of a friend. So Brian... She was a friend. She was the daughter of a friend. So Brian gives a little more detail. Okay.

Because he said, I just read a book about him. What a nerd. He was a pretty spare president, mostly concerned with tariffs and the gold standard and shit. That is spare. Grover met his future wife when she was an infant. In fact, he bought her first baby carriage because she was his best friend's daughter. He married her when she was 21, and her dad was very dead. She was 27 years younger than him, the second largest age gap for any president and first lady. And he says pretty effing gross if you ask me.

I would agree with that. Who's the largest? It's gotta be Trump. What's his age gap? More than 27 years? I think so. Doesn't look like Blake's gonna look it up, so I'll

take a stab at it. He's 78. She's 54. Oh, so maybe that's not... Yeah, 28. Okay, okay, yeah. That's way longer than 27. Also died

on this day, we have Chris... Is it Benoit? Is that how you say his name? Jake. That's not Jake. You wore the shirt. No, I didn't. Saroy did.

Stop ascribing horrible acts to me. I haven't done enough of them. What's his bit? Chris Benoit killed his family. He was a wrestler. I think there was a Bowflex involved. He might have hung himself from a Bowflex. Boy, a lot of people killing families on this day.

And one of the days when we went to a music festival, Saroy wore a shirt that said, Chris Benoit was framed, which is obviously pretty much impossible. So this must be the day he killed his family, because it just says here he died of suicide. Yeah. Yeah, I think that all happened, again, concurrently. Usually you do that pretty close to.

You don't have a lot of hang time. You don't see anyone that takes a week off and then thinks about it. Do you want to watch the Amber Alert video? Did they study his brain too? You know what? I think they might have actually. I think so. It's all probably mushy as well.

Yeah. Patty, my last one. Patty Ramsey. Excuse me, Patsy Ramsey. The mother. The mother. The mother of? JonBenet. Another funny t-shirt I once had.

What was that? It was just a photo of JonBenet and it says, I know who killed me. Okay. Come on. Where are these t-shirts? Have you gotten rid of them? No The top of the pops I still have

Okay The George Bush one Are they ever coming back? Wait you have the George Bush? Somewhere I don't want to get kicked off YouTube though Or is it We've already.

Yeah, we're probably already. That's Barbie. This whole thing is blacked out. I think you can still play this, right? Like, even though it's somebody else's thing? We're just. Yeah. Just play it.

I want Dan to see this. Yeah, over to the right. To the right. Oh, this guy. Yeah. Mark Phillips. Black guy gets an Amber Alert. He picks up his phone.

He was playing a video game, but he sprints outside. At the same time, all his neighbors have sprinted outside as well. They all got to hop. Six guys running down the street. They all have to hop in a car to chase down the car that just left. This is how they expect you to react at 3 o'clock in the stream. They all have to hop in a car to chase down the car that just left. This is how they expect you to react at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Now they've got like a fast and furious chase scene. Now they've cut the guy off and they're going to pull him out of the car. I got the baby! They're beating him up. Takes the baby.

Really solid. One of the funniest. I got the baby. They're beating him up. Takes the baby. Yeah, there you go. Really solid. Yeah. One of the funniest videos I've ever seen. Because, like, yeah, what are you supposed to do? I guess. That's it. What we're supposed to do.

Squad up. Do you have closing remarks, Colin? Oh, yeah. Happy birthday. Oh, thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This was awesome.

I really enjoyed being here. This was really cool. Are you proud of her? Yeah. It's almost kind of jealous in a way because I think a lot of people are to be part of this show. Does she complain about us every day? No. Just Blake.

Well, as you know, guys can't get hired. Yeah. Rob's got a very strict. I recently learned that with Drop Beth. Rob is the last man to be hired. No, I guess I got two things. A quick shout out to my guy, Steve Nolan, who's the director of tennis at Spring Park. He was the first person I saw wearing Dumb Zone merch.

Nice. He was out on the tennis court giving a lesson. I was like, oh, nice shirt. DumbZoneMerch zone merch. Nice. He was out on the tennis court giving a lesson. I was like, ah, all right. Sure. And, uh, um,

zone merch.com. Yeah. Uh, you know what? I think it's the dumb zone merch.com. I went to, you know, the domain site that,

uh, I buy domains at, cause I was looking to buy something else this weekend. Yeah. I just typed in dumb zone, merch.com and it redirects right to the eSig store. Does it? Okay. Maybe we have them both. Solid.

Hey, my bad. You're good, bruv. And then, last thing, this is just kind of a warning for people because I know everyone's thoughts on Dude Perfect here and those with small children. Dude Perfect actually has their own prosthetics that you can choose from.

What the hell does that mean? That would really be very bad and ironic if you have to get a Dude Perfect arm or leg if your kid loses a limb. Wait, how do you know this? I work at Scottish Rite. Oh, okay. Wait, I could have...

Boy, you really almost... Why did you ask that? That was the worst follow-up. Oh, I immediately regret that answer. Yeah, I've really gone somewhere with that. Yeah. So what does it look like? What will you learn?

It's extreme. Their color scheme, and it's got the DP on it. You know, I didn't pay much attention to it. When I heard they were coming, I was like, I don't want to be a part of this. We got to get in that game. Prosthetic game? Dak has one.

Dak has a prosthetic. There's a bunch of random artists locally in Dak, and it's like seven people that pitched in for these prosthetics you can choose from. Boy. you can choose from. Boy. Man.

I've never been more upset that their kid isn't missing a leg. Yeah. They came to the hospital. That could have been so bad. Yeah. It would have been so bad. Oh, you got to see him at the hospital. I didn't.

I wasn't working that one. Oh, I was the person that found the Justin Monte skiing video Wow so when I heard heard that I was like oh we archived that that's somewhere in the hospital footage so I was the one that found that and sent it to money that's pretty awesome all right so there's an instagram video of this dude perfect prosthetic and the kid is sitting here waiting to get it's exactly like his arm and effing dude perfect walked in like no i would like an arm not to meet tyler you don't what if you could do them both you don't't know that, though. And Tyler brought the arm in. He's holding the prosthetic arm and gives it to the kid.

That's... Okay. And he... We've gone too far. He attached it to him by throwing it off. And it took 200 times. Now they're throwing a Dude Perfect football together, and he signed his arm.

Okay. I hate that. Let's get out of here. Adios, mofo. Like a $690 paid guest call, 690 seats or sometimes salons Where they do their show at the guest house It's a great way for the guest to feel loved and a part of the show But the fans call D.F.'s, fuckin' hate it, and want them to know All DFs do is bitch about 690s

And wish they never talked, wish they stopped Wish they took their money and shoveled it up their ass And died in a car crash Cause Jake was driving too slow and Dan too fast, so fast it made the 690s car drop off a bridge, crash into a ditch, and never live to hear another FH696. Don't talk, never talk, grab the mic and shove it up your ass, and then drive fast until you crash It's three o'clock Notification of a new show drops
