Turn up, Julie. Don't turn on, Julie. We don't need that again. All right. We have no Julie, but we... I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jacob. I'm Blake Jones. Open.

Business. You beat him. I love when Blake beats me. We are live streaming today, everybody. Hello. Hello. On YouTube. Are we on Quibi?

That died. Oh. I thought they got a Series A round of funding. Happy Monday. Want to Eiffel Tower Julie? No. Absolutely not. I don't even have a mic on to stand up for myself. We don't have HR. Sure. Why not? You can't Eiffel Tower Julie? No, no. Absolutely not. I don't even have a mic on to stand up for myself.

No, we don't have HR. Sure, why not? You can't Eiffel Tower me until I'm part of the show. Golly. Oh, okay. So there's a... Oh, there is a date. There's a target date.

Date time? Yeah, okay. I take it back. Whatever I just said. Incentive to hire. In honor of the Olympics. I take it all back. You know?

That's right. And Celine Dion. I've been on the Eiffel Tower. Sinking on the Eiffel Tower. I don't know if any of you guys have been up there, but I have. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah, recently. In 2024.

Yeah, you took a real off-the-beaten-path world traveler vacation to the Eiffel Tower. That's right. What a unique experience. Yeah, hung out in Paris, prepped everything for the Olympics, and then got out of there. Oh yeah? Yeah. Was that you doing all the manual labor? Did you poop in the river? I pooped in the river, hoping it would hit

Macron at the correct time. The mayor. The mayor ended up swimming, but when I pooped in the river, I did it because Macron said he was going to swim. Famously married his high school teacher. She's like 20 years older than him.

Oh, wow. Bridget. Now, here in the States, that'll get you sent to the pokey. But over there, they're like, president. Yeah. I mean, it's the most French thing ever. Yeah. Nailing your chemistry teacher.

Jeez. We're at Zoli's in Addison. That's right. Zoli's in Addison is hosting a live. Is this our first ever live paid? Yeah. Yeah. We did a live stream at the golf course or wherever you're a member of.

At Julie's Country Club. Yeah. The Dallas Athletic Club. Yeah. But that was – We fit here a lot more. Yeah. Yeah.

They have a sign that says, Zoli gives you that Hawk Tua. This is much more our speed than – There were people there with sweaters tied around their necks, Julie being one of them. Yeah. I was so preppy that day. Right. No, this is a great spot for a remote. I love it.

This is Jay Jarrier, is the owner of Zoli's. And he is also the owner of the first ever Dumb Zone live-to-tape business remote. Correct, the one at the star. At Cane Rosso. Zoli's featured on the world-famous One Bite Everyone Knows the Rules by Barstool's Dave Portnoy

and received a 7.9, which is pretty high. So Jay owns Cane Rosso and Zoli's. Yeah. And what else? Something else, right? Thunderbird? Thunderbird.

Thunderbird? Yeah. Detroit. So he's like, it's like when Pepsi, they also own like Dr. Pepper. So they own their competitor. I don't think that's right. No?

No, I don't think so. Coke owns Dr. Pepper? Pepsi owns Mr. Pibb? I think Dr. Pepper's on its own. They don't need anybody else. Entirely. Wow, okay. But I know what you're saying, though.

My point is, yes, many big companies will own their competitor, and you're like, how's that? And Jay's like, well, that way he gets all the... Yeah, right on. The whole pie. Smart. Kind of like you guys, and no puppet. Just own everything, right?

Yeah, we own nothing. And then you can just slowly take over the world. No puppet and... Before we get into the weekend and everything, a couple things I want to set the scene on. First of all, it's very funny to me that these two gentlemen who came to see us here want to watch us do the show, so they have to sit on the same side of the table next to each other.

Oh, that's right. Like a couple on a date. So cute. You love the couple in the booth. Yeah, if they had the tables turned, they could each sit and glance to their left. But no, they have to sit there together and maybe baby bird each other throughout the afternoon. What do you think of couple on the same side of booth?

Hate it. Does anyone ever look happy? No, because you've got to look to your left. You have to have your chin on your shoulder the whole night. You could get a little something going under the booth, though, under the table. You could do that with your feet if you're sitting across from each other.

That's true. Or if you're long enough. The other thing I wanted to point out was our good friends who were at the studio a couple of weeks ago brought us some shoes. And I thought, boy, the first time I should wear these will be when we're on a live stream. Certainly Dan won't wear his Lucas today as well. Oh, my gosh. And I look at this son of a bitch. Oh, my gosh.

And you two are making fun of the guys on the same side of the table, and you showed up in matching pennies. He's got the same shoes on. So how do you like that? Okay. Now he's standing on his own. Is it okay to wear black socks with these shoes? Yeah, that's fine. There's black on them.

Okay, good. But I'm really thrown off by the fact that you're wearing these light earth-toned shorts. Shorts, shoes. New me, dude. New month. What's going on? Is it a new month yet? No. Not yet. Is the MBR today? Not quite yet. Maybe Friday. What's going on? Is it a new month yet? No.

Not yet. Is the MBR today? Not quite yet. Maybe Friday. What's with these shorts? What is with these shorts? Are you beaten by the MBR? No.

I just think some people are beaten by replays at this point. Oh, who's reading the comments? Guess what? I've always read the comments. You can hit fast forward. That's how this works now. Yeah, I'm... Not today. Okay, that's true. Actually comments. You can hit fast forward. That's how this works now. Yeah, I'm... Not today.

Okay, that's true. Actually, most people will hit fast forward. Most people listen live to tape. From now on, we have to talk if we're going to wear the Lucas. These are special. I felt good putting them on, and then I see you walk in here. Every day of my life is when I'm going to wear these things. I'm going to throw mine away.

Sorry. Okay. Well, you didn't care that you wore your black shirt, and you knew I always wear a black shirt. I like that about us. Okay. It is cute. I like the black shirts.

And Jake was in blue the other day, and you made fun of the blue. I think y'all just make fun of each other no matter what. What? No matter what. Nothing will ever be cool between you two. It's the way we like it. Yeah, I know.

So, yeah, on today's program, we do have sports because we have a Cowboys training camp. It's heating up, guys. Oh, my. One week from today, we will be doing the show from an RV, Dan. What do you think of this? To promote. It's called the DZ RV. Because it rhymes. Okay.

Yeah. I mean. I was really hoping for more. I like it. My God. You're kidding me. How did that? That was right in front of all of us.

And we never. And then, no. I just get a, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. What do you want to do? Like a hashtag or something?

Yeah. Yeah. Great idea. No, I love it.. What do you want to do? Like a hashtag or something? Yeah, yeah. What's your angle here? Great idea. Oh, I love it. See, that's building upon a great idea to make it even better. Smash a couple of briefs together

and make one big brief. Yeah. That's what you got there. We're not a-breathing a brief. You're a-breathing a brief. No. It is weird that the word abbreviate is so long.

Right? That's why you call it a brief. Yeah. Jesus. Yes, we'll be on an RV one week from today. In fact, one week from yesterday morning at 8 a.m., I'll be getting on an RV. Here's the thing.

Rob and Matt. And all of us. It's not the itinerary I saw. They're just so horny for like, let's leave at 4 in the morning. No. Let's leave at, like, I got to get to, I got to get to,

it's such a long trip. Why not just... Because we want to be in Amarillo for lunch in case there is anyone who wants to join us. Oh, great. For two guys, I got to get up that early. No. Here's how this happened, folks.

Dan wanted eight. I will fly southwest ahead to Albuquerque and meet you there. I will blow that plane up. How about that, YouTube? You can't say that on YouTube. Can you not? Probably not.

I'm glad that you didn't. Maybe beat that for the recorded version later. I will hope you don't get on the plane. There you go. Throw some bananas at it. No, Dan wanted eight because that's, of course, what you do when you're taking a cross-country trip

is you leave at eight. No one does that. We're going to get to Albuquerque by six. Rob wanted six. We decided on seven. Dude, Rob wanted 530. Okay. Matt wanted 530.

That's what you do. That's what you guys do. Okay, well, this is not your kids at Christmas. We're opening the presents when we want. We met you in the middle, 7 a.m., not a minute later. I don't want to meet in the middle. I want to meet where I want to meet. Like it's, oh, well, hey, what if I.

So you don't want to go early? Who's early morning guy? All of us. I'm early morning guy, but not that early morning guy. I'm an old man. I need to ramp up. This is a long trip. You must go early.

Just go to bed an hour early. I don't think I need to hear from you right now, Julie. We're already doing this. This is important. It's important for the DZRV to show up on time. See, she's using your thing. We've got to give them a little breadcrumb. You've got a great idea, buddy.

Let's go at seven. That's all I need. All right. There you go. So, yes, we do have a Cowboys to get to today. I think we're going to try and get to our long-awaited Hard Knocks audio. Blake has some bits, correct? Yeah.

If we have time. I have some Olympics. I got some tit. Oh, that's right. I have Olympics, too. If we have time. I have some Olympics. I got some tit. Oh that's right. I have Olympics too. Bits and tits. Over here. You can say that on YouTube but I can't make a joke. So I said it.

That's when Dan and Julie hang out. That's their show. Bits and tits. Let's do a show. Call it that. There's no rules here. You can do that, right? People would click on it to see what it's all about, if nothing else. Helps your numbers. That's right.

It's a true podcaster. And they're like, oh. All right. They'd probably stick around for Julie if they thought that might end up being what the... Yeah. If it could unveil. Two hours in, they'd be real sad. Like, still nothing?

Just a tease. Anyway, but we should start off with a weekend check. Weekend check brought to you by Frankel and Frankel. How about that? You guys like that? I do. Like my choice?

That's awesome. Frankel and Frankel. Julie, what can you tell us about Frankel and Frankel? Frankel and Frankel are the only people that you need to know if you get in a bad situation where you need help and you need help immediately. Right? Here in Dallas. They're based in Dallas. So you're saying I'm in a bad situation and you need help immediately like I'm out of

water or like I'm stranded on an island? They might answer if you call and you are out of water. They I'm stranded on an island? They might answer if you call and you are out of water. They're personal injury attorneys. On the way over here, I saw a car accident. Wow. The first thing I thought is,

man, I hope she calls Franklin, Frankel. How would they do that? You know what you should do is put the Frankel number. What is it? 214 or 817. 333-3333. Just start banging the threes

until you get on the phone. Print that on a piece of cheese and then flip it on their window. So you have a whole stack of Kraft cheese in your car and you could use that. Have you seen the TikTok? Why don't we get back to the spot first real quick, bud? No, no, no. The TikTok bit where people are throwing cheese on their kid? I have.

I'm an innovator. I would love you guys to do that. To you? Okay. You want to be cheesed? I'll try it. I'll try it tonight and send you the video. But anyways, they're based in Dallas.

Oh, yeah. Frankl and Frankl. You'll see a car accident. Call them immediately at 214-817. And then all threes, family owned. You'll talk to a partner when you call. Getting a car accident is scary. They'll talk you through it. They're get a car accident scary they'll talk you

through it they're the attorneys you deserve that's right anyway um all right weekend check i got a brief thing that actually happened late last week but i forgot to tell you guys about it okay so i'm going to pretend that it happened over the weekend uh recently got my oil changed very exciting oh look at this guy. Let's see that contract. Oh yeah. Yeah. And I waited. I didn't even get to like 10,000 miles before I did it either. So I got my oil changed at a place. It's supposed to be three. Nah, it's five. Talk to a car person. They'll tell you five. The oil change place puts the sticker at three. So the place I go to, you don't have to get out of your car,

which is pretty sweet. It's like a drive-in thing. You got to wait for the car in front of you, but they don't even have like a lobby. Like it's all in the bay. Yeah. Like they stand in a hole in the ground. Basically.

Yeah. So the first person, so the oil change thing is always interesting because it's usually a guy who's a man and he's a man and he's a mechanic and he's sweaty and he looks like he could probably have my wife and he knows I don't know anything about cars and I'm intimidated and I'm like, I don't know what that's even supposed to look like, but the one you're holding looks bad.

I'll pay for it. Like they'll bring out a, Oh, this thing. Look at the air filter. I'm like, I don't know. And then you'll tell your neighbor who is like a man and it'll be like, no dude, all you got to do is knock that air filter. It'll look clean, you know, but you don't know. And then you'll tell your neighbor who is like a man. Yeah. And he'll be like, no, dude, all you got to do is knock that air filter. It'll look clean. Yeah. You know, but you don't know that.

Yeah. You're like, man, yeah, you're right. So interesting turn of events this time. I go to the don't get out of your car oil change place. And the first person that I deal with, if you looked up the word butch in the dictionary, this is what you would see. She had a like a buzz cut. She was built like a fire hydrant.

And she was the mechanic that I was going to deal with. And I'm like, okay. I got a likely, very manly woman lesbian mechanic. So, she starts working on it. And then I realize, when I pop the hood, which I had trouble with. Where is it

so so then the woman that starts working on the at the hood the original lady was a white lady this lady was a black lady she was also I'm not as good at spotting other races of lesbians she was definitely also okay wait so you're really good at spotting white i just have more lesbians i just have more experience with when it's a non-white lesbian you're just not sure trust me i'm pretty sure okay so she's working on it and then i look over at the bay next to me and a very similar situation is taking place to a guy in a like a lexus suv white butch lesbian and a black lady who was uh i would say of the same persuasion and it occurred to me there are no men at this uh auto shop and then boss comes in the manager the head honcho she's just like a different version of the mechanic wearing a white shirt

instead of the gray one that they so i was was telling TC about this, and he was like, dude, if that's the lady in charge, this might be like the Aggies or the Mormons, where they just hire from within, and she built this entire shop. There's no men. That's great. It is great, and I actually felt kind of cool about the fact

that I knew she was the one ripping me off rather than some guy named James who could kick my ass. Yeah. Not to say she couldn't kick my ass. Ladies can do anything. They could even rip you off. Yeah. Yeah.

And they're all laughing at me as I'm in my little car like texting, got my little vape. That's great. So you think they were ripping you off though? They're all ripping you off. I don't know. I feel like a bunch of ladies would be honest. What? We're just more honest than y'all.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. But she definitely upsold me, and I was proud to do it. I was proud to get taken by a lady that kind of looked like Bill Parcells. That's great. Next time you bring your daughter there. See, honey? You can ref the non-playoff NBA games, and you can change oil. And you could be a mechanic.

Yeah, it was embarrassing, but also very fun. I wonder how they all found each other. Oh, they know. Yeah? Yeah. Like they all knew how to do the same thing and found each other and started this business. I guess so. It's kind of brilliant.

Did I tell you when I was in college, I took women's studies? Yes, you have. And in that class, they would have speakers sometimes come in. And one time a woman came in. You've got to set that. What year are we talking? 91. Okay.

And they had a lady come in. She was my age. She was our age, so she was a college student. And they had her speak to us because she was a lesbian. That was her whole... That was the defining feature. Yeah, if

she was on TV, you know, underneath her face, it would have said lesbian right there. That was her title. The wild thing that she brought to the table. She's just like, look, I'm not the only one on campus. You're like, what? She's like, we...

She described gaydar without saying gaydar. Maybe that hadn't become a term yet, but she just said, you know, but I'll notice others, and as we're walking by, you know, I'll lock eyes, and she'll, you know, give it a little knowing nod. I nod, and like we all... And I'm like, whoa. Yeah. It's like the Jeep wave.

Yeah, with a Harley. It's like the Jeep thing, but for lesbians. Right. I like it. For ladies who don't like wieners. Although maybe all ladies don't really like wieners,

but they put up with it. I've seen documentaries to the contrary. Oh, okay. Documentaries? Or are you watching something where they're being paid to like wieners? Jewelry. I don't know what you're talking about.

Anyways, that's my weekend. It kind of happened on the weekend. You're going to big time me when I mention it. But y'all talk about it all the time. Is that your weekend check? Yeah, I think so. Okay. I didn't do much else.

You didn't go to a show? Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I did go to a comedy show on Saturday night. Nick Mullen. And I saw him last year. Southern Miss quarterback. No, not the 49er quarterback. And I was kind of worried that it was going to be the same set because I saw him late last

year and it was entirely new. And it was great. What's his name? Nick Mullen. he used to host a podcast called come town oh yeah interesting yeah and i forced myself to go to the late show and yeah boy the late show i know it was tough what's the late what time 9 30 and it was over at 11 so i was home by close to midnight yeah not too bad it bad. It was in downtown Fort Worth, but yeah, the guys I was with were like, let's go,

let's go out. I'm like, dude, I am, no chance. I'm barely awake right now. Getting old is hard. Yeah.

It is. It was cool though. How much did you laugh? Like what percentage of jokes did you laugh at? The whole time. Really? 100%?

Pretty much. The opener, the host was good, the feature was good, and Nick, he's like one of the funniest people in my world. Really? Yeah.

I feel like 25 of his 50 minutes were on 9-11. Oh. So you know that place. Yeah, he liked that. Isn't it weird to hang out with a bunch of guys who want to party, but you don't? Yeah. Because I run into that all the time these days.

Like, you know, they want to go out and... Who are you hanging out with? Party guys. Even when I go out or meet Jake or whatever, it's usually like, oh, these guys want to, you know, drink and everything after, and I don't. Or if we go to training camp, you guys are wanting, you know, oh, let's go pound a few beers, and I'll be like, ah.

Then you're just there and you're the guy not drinking. And then everybody else is kind of, you know, you can see as the drinking increases, everybody becomes, to them, more fun. And to you, just more, I want to just get out of here.

Yeah. So do you ever want to party? That's a serious question. I have recently taken to, in the stream world, when we do the cowboy games. Okay. He had a couple white claws. A couple white claws, eh? I think I'm increasing things.

Don't. All right. Don't. No, it's hard to start drinking, Jake. But we've never done that. It's interesting. Yeah, that sounds like a real problem. I'm trying to ramp up's hard to start drinking, Jake. But we've never done that. It's interesting. Yeah, that sounds like a real problem. I'm trying to ramp up and drink a little more each day.

Okay. Well, good for you. Keep working on it. He had a great time. I did. Until the next morning. Right. Like, we were on the stream, and I was like, man, I can't believe I haven't drank in a

while. This is great. And yes, the next day, I realized this is why I don't do that drinking. You had a two white claw hangover? It's unbelievable. Julie's shaming you. I'm sorry. Julie is shaming me.

That's why you have to keep drinking. Because Julie drinks all the time. You've got to out drink her now. This is what alcoholics do. They just make fun of you so that you'll join them and get down to the gutter like they are. I'm not an alcoholic. Oh, hey, no. Of course you they are. I'm not an alcoholic. Oh, hey, no. Of course you're not. I could quit any time.

I just like giving you crap because it is interesting. I've never really sat around and had a few with you. All right. Well, let's do it this year. I've done that with most people I've worked with. Maybe we should do it today. Why not? There's a bar.

There is a bar here at Zoli's Pizza in Addison. That's right. Where they want to give you that hot tua. So my weekend. Of course, you remember that my wife was out of town, but then she came back to town. So that's a yay boo. Now this week, we do look forward to Wednesday. She works at a school, and school starts Wednesday.

Oh, all right. This morning. All right. Back to work. This morning, as I'm navigating my way around her in the kitchen, because I'm trying to get my frozen blueberries out of the freezer to put them in my oatmeal. Do you think Dan's chill about that? Or as he's passing, is he like, oh.

Again, I don't want to meet in the middle on things. I just want to do the thing I want to do. And now she's in my way. My God, look at that pizza. And I was very excited. Standing in her own home. I just remembered she'll be going to work on Wednesday because she told me last night. And I said, oh, that's terrible.

I can say things that I don't totally mean. But anyway, so now she was back in town. So I had to carry her suitcase up the stairs. What a man. And, you know, whatever. My point is, so you know know I go to a trainer once a week. Mm-hmm. And so he'll put me through some exercises and stuff. Mm-hmm. And I was thinking when we used to exercise and work out,

it was because I want to get better at baseball, and I'm going to do things to increase my forearm strength. I'm going to, or if you're, you know, whatever your sport is, I'm going to try, I need my more burst, so I'm going to practice this or whatever. Now, last time I was at the trainer, he had me do something he called the suitcase carry. Have you ever done this? Yes. It's like one big giant weight, and you're walking along just carrying that up and down to whatever. Maybe a kettlebell.

Yeah, and then you do it again with the left arm, and it's like you're trying to keep your, you know. Engaged. It keeps your right side, you know, if you're carrying it on the left, maybe it's for the obliques. I don't know. But anyway, this is what I train for now. And as I was walking up the stairs with her heavy suitcase,

I was thinking, I'm built for this now. I've been to the gym three times this week. I trained just for this moment. Because I was out of breath a little bit. I would now get out of breath to where my Apple Watch will do the thing. It looks like you're working out and I'm washing dishes or something. I'm like, wait. That's always tough. Mine will ask you, what strain were you doing? And I was just like, I was just holding a kid. Yeah. It's kind of sad.

I don't see that on the list. Yeah, so instead of training to be better at sports these days, I now train to barely get by in everyday life. Like, anybody should be able to carry a suitcase up the stairs. Functional fitness. But now I can actually do it. So if you have any suitcases, bring them on out here and I'll demonstrate. Load up the RV for us.

It's $6.50. You can be luggage man. That's right. You can be luggage man. I will be able to load up the RV. I got a complaint about my local bagel shop. Uh-oh.

He's going to go in, folks. And I'll say it. It's the Einstein Bagels in, it's either Grapevine or Southlake right there. We would welcome their business, however, if they were interested. That particular location, though, this has happened to me enough times

that I'm ready to say it. I'll go there. Because the Colleyville location, well, here's my thing. We got there at 10 minutes till noon. Me and my daughter will go get a bagel on the weekend. I like the Nova Lox. Okay.

The salmon. Yeah, you and your salmon. And 10 minutes till noon, they close at 2. They're out of plain bagels. Wow. And I said, are you, you got any more in the oven?

Wait a little. The baker left at 11. Oh, no. I'm like, okay. And I wanted to say, well, that's not a YP. And then I thought,

yes, it is. Yes, it is. Yeah, it's very much a YP. Not an MP. It's a YP. But no, it is an MP because now I'm, they're just telling, and now I thought, yes, it is. Yeah, it's very much a YP. Not an MP. It's a YP. But no, it is an MP because now they're just telling. And now I'm just talking to the, she doesn't have anything to do with it. Yeah.

She's in high school. Yeah. But now I'm starting to feel like I want to do, my inner Karen is starting to emerge. Yeah. And my daughter gave me the, just get get get the poppy seed get the whatever and i'm like yeah but i would think noon might be when he could be done and then they have enough to take you into like the one o'clock hour but yeah i mean that's how it is that's how it is it like meat

places what do you mean yeah i mean like barbecue places like most places when they run out it's done yeah really yeah i mean they make it overnight you know they're really smoking a brisket and What do you mean? Yeah, I mean, like, barbecue places, like, most places, when they run out, it's done. Yeah. Really? Yeah, I mean, they make it overnight, you know, they're smoking a brisket. Really fancy, like, famous ones that can do that. They're pretty much all of them. They get really popular, and they know people will come, form a line, and then when they're done, they're done. But I didn't realize that. But, like, the bagel place, who's supposed to be there for bagels.

Bake the bagel, though. Do what? You've got to bake the bagel, though. Do what? You've got to bake the bagel, though. That takes time. Maybe the baker had a family emergency, you asshole. Well, no. That location I've been to many times where this has happened. I'm a science apologist over here.

The Colleyville one, you could walk in at two minutes until two. Yeah. And they've always got a plain bagel. Well, yeah. It's like you have one job. Serve bagels. Have bagels. What a struggle. Give people bagels. Yeah, you can't go to McDonald's and they don't have a plain bagel. Well, yeah. It's like you have one job. Serve bagels. Have bagels. What a struggle.

Give people bagels. Yeah, you can't go to McDonald's and they don't have a Big Mac. Right. You're going to try and ride that out for three hours with no plain bagels? I'm on Team Dan on this one. You can't tune into Bits and Tits and then not see any juggage. Right. I bet you are a Karen.

I'm really not. every once in a while though my wife's kind of a Karen and I like it you need a Karen sometimes you need to have your Karen with you I don't want to be the Karen I want someone else though to start yelling for me yeah it's good to have that friend I don't know I'm usually

very kind and understanding and appreciative, but if it's something that I feel like I can really get behind, I'll go full Karen. Like something that I feel like they're really wrong and I'm really right. I'm not afraid. Two things I've noticed this weekend that, one, you have talked about before, but now I'm really noticing it. The one that you've not talked about is, have you guys seen the return of the baby on board

sign? Yeah. Do you know what the baby on board sign is? Yeah. It means you're not supposed to crash your car into them because they have a kid. Yeah. But that was a big thing when I was growing up, the baby on board. Yeah.

I believe Homer Simpson's Barbershop Quartet once. So it's back, you're saying? Yeah, I saw like two of them. Really? And I just thought that's, it's just a little blast from the past. Everything is cyclical, right? It's so funny too,

because it's like, is the point like, oh, I was actually going to wreck into your car and make you call the Frankels, but there's a baby in the car, so I'm going to take it easy here. Yeah, or I'm not going to carjack that car. Yeah, right. Because I don't want the extra cargo. Yeah, that makes sense.

But it's kind of like the people that put the drive like your kid lives here sign out there. It's like, well, you know, I was thinking about going really fast, but yeah, my kid lived there. It always made me laugh. I've said this before, but if Casey Anthony saw one of those signs. Is that the lady who drowned her kids?

Oh, dear. She just hits the gas. Yeah, I wanted them gone. Dan, did you drive differently when your kids were in the car? I do, but I drive like a baby anyways. I mean, once they started getting old enough to notice, I didn't because I'm worried about their safety, but once they would know that I'm,

hey, you shouldn't drive like a maniac or you shouldn't, yeah. Yeah, the first few months I drove a little slower with Brooks in the car, but now I don't. And whenever I'm hauling ass, I'll look back and see him like, I probably shouldn't be doing this. A little reminder. Yeah. He's holding on for dear life. It is weird though when

they start correcting you and they know more about driving and directions than you do. He knows when I blow through a yellow light now. He does? Oh yeah. What are you doing? I don't want to stop. It's a yellow light. It's a yellow light with a child's life on the line. Oh, my gosh.

What happened to this guy? He's got to get here to help set up. I'm on board with it. The one thing that you have mentioned before, though, that I don't think is going to help, if indeed we still have a child obesity epidemic, do we? I think we have a general obesity epidemic. Okay. Yeah. The electric bike.

Dude. It's not a moped. It's not a motor. It's just a bike. It looks like a mountain bike. Yeah. But you don't pedal. But they're not pedaling.

Yeah. Nope. They're very popular in your neighborhood. It's now like 12-year-olds in our neighborhood are driving around on them. At like 30 miles an hour. Like, wait. What's going on here? Yeah. They bypassed the whole learning to ride a bike thing.

They bypassed the exercise. They just kind of have to know how to balance it, but yeah, you're not even getting an exercise. I'm dealing with it right now with my nine-year-old because he doesn't want to learn how to ride a bike because he's seen that there's an easier way on the electric scooter or the electric bike. We're so screwed. Yeah. We are. We're so hot. I don't want to go out there, Mom. Yeah, and I don't know.

Those kids are intimidating to me back in your neighborhood. There's not a lot of kids where I normally live, but back by you, there's a lot of kids. Yeah, and they're all worth more than you. Oh, they scare the hell out of me, too. Like, they look cool. They all have the same haircut.

There's like a gang of like 13-year- there with electric bikes and they have cool clothes shiny shiny neon clothes they're zooming around they're not wearing helmets which bothers me a lot of times they have the helmet on the like tied to the handles because their mom made them leave with it but then they're like whatever mom Do you ever stop and say anything to them? Put on your helmet, kid. No, I get out of the way. I just don't want any smoke with a 13-year-old affluent child on an e-bike. Oh, my gosh. No, no.

No, sir. No, sir. Weekend check. So I'm developing a theme here because I've let you guys in that I'll read a rom-com book on you. I've put Brooks in gymnastics. You went to the? I went to a Lindsey Stirling concert by myself.

Yep. Do you know who that is? Yes, and I heard this, and I fully support you. Thank you. I knew who she was. I don't think I needed that. Oh, no way. You support him?

I do. I probably wish you would have said it and know who that was. I support Blake in this. And she's hot, right? Yeah. We don't do that. Like you didn't. What is wrong with you?

What are you, misogynistic? What happened to him? No, Dan's right. You're being misogynistic. Yeah, it's wrong, Julie. We don't objectify women. You frowned upon me for mentioning porn, saying that a girl is hot, and going through a yellow light since we started this show.

Just try to take it easy. Take it easy. And Dan's calling you an alcoholic. Yeah. Sorry, Blake. So. What'd you do to help? Strap on?

I took Brooks to a play. What play? Big Fish. Oh, okay. Yeah, the one that Beth was talking talking about yeah yeah so yeah she invited us to it and uh when i looked it up it's it's the wiling wiley acting group so like right next door to me and it said wiley acting group for children so i thought maybe this is like a kid's thing because it says children. Mm-hmm. But they meant like teenagers.

Oh, okay. So I walk in, I was expecting like, I don't know, is there a playground or is there a huge screen to look at? And no, it was just like a dark theater. That's usually what a play is. Yeah. Yeah. So now I've got a tired two-year-old who now I have to keep quiet for two hours.

Yeah. It's a bad situation. I would have pulled the chute the second I walked in there. Like, look, we're going to figure something else out. I bought the tickets, and I'd been telling Brooks, hey, we're going to go see this movie. I think you're going to like it. So we kind of stuck it out. Stuck it out through the first intermission.

He bailed then? Yeah, because he was starting to walk it. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, all the actors, actresses were kids at Wiley High School. It was incredible. Really, really cool. I'd never seen Big Fish. Why is it incredible?

It's theater. It's a common thing. I know, but I don't know. It's because they put a thing on it where it's like, hey, this is just children. But it's actually like really, really well done. Really, really good. Yeah.

It's theater. Kids are talented these days. Yeah. Kids are talented. They can't ride bikes, but they can act. The first half of Big Fish is really good. Okay. I'm pretty excited to see the second half.

I feel like they made it into a movie. They did. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's like real trippy. Yeah. Is it? I thought. I don't know. I've never seen it. Yeah, I need to watch it. So yeah, I took Brooks to a play. My sister has been out of town all weekend, and I wanted to drive her electric vehicle, so I drove a Tesla around all weekend. Cybertruck? No. Nice. Just a normal Tesla. How was it? I'm really interested in the EVs. Thinking about getting one.

But I kind of hated the way that I felt people were looking at me in a Tesla. We should get one, put our logo on it, and it'll be the DZ EV. Good God, this guy's on fire. No? This guy has been in the marketing lab all weekend. Just on fire. No? This guy has been in the marketing lab all weekend just on fire. But just driving around town, parking, the doors open like this

and not like this. I don't know. I felt weird. I've seen Teslas that actually have an anti-Elon sticker on the back like, no dude, I'm cool. Care about the environment. I'm cool. It has nothing to do with him. Because there are some people that are like in the cult you know they buy it because of him right i will never not laugh when i see one of those cyber trucks though i saw one

on the way here today i'm just like what are you doing someone took a picture of one in a jack in the box drive-thru that is is America right there. That is America. I told you they got one painted like a Browns helmet in Cleveland I saw. A Cybertruck? Yeah. Okay. We need to find it. We're going to find that.

Yeah, what would it take, Blake, for us to give you a dumb zone car wrap? Maybe like a QR code on it or something. Yeah. All of our faces. We should look into this. Sure. Yeah. Sure. All of our faces. We should look into this. Sure. Yeah.

Sure. Halo tournament this weekend, the third major of the season. Optic came in second again. The fourth tournament in a row, Optic Gaming has come in second place. Losing a step? No. I mean, they're consistent, playing really well. Lucid hit the craziest overkill I've ever seen.

I don't want to hear it. On live fire. I just don't want to hear it. Killed one elbow, then got a one-shot guy in dummies, came back, bought him tower, got him. Are you bringing your Nintendo? And then hit a no-scope at top tower. Are you bringing your Nintendo on the RV? I'm bringing my Xbox and playing NCAA.

Where? I don't know. Do I need to bring a screen or a monitor? No, there's a TV on there. There's a TV on the RV. Yeah. It's the DZ TV. The DZ RV TV. Okay. Yeah's a TV on the RV. Yeah. It's the DZ TV. The DZ RV TV.

Okay, yeah. Now, that one didn't hit. So, are you going to hook it up at the Airbnb? Yes. I'm with you. I have a week and a half away from my wife and kid. We're not going to bond? Doing what?

You just said you don't drink. Yeah, but I mean, I don't know. Let's just hang out. Let's go surf. Let's go to the beach. Y'all are going to have to set some screen time limits on Blake. We have to set a timer like with my daughter? Yes.

You got three minutes. No, no, no. It's the third quarter. It's the third quarter. Come on. Wrap up your game, bud. Come on. It's a two-minute warning.

Family vacation. This is not what we're here for, Blake. The last thing for you. I made something for our social medias that I wanted to play on the show. Okay. Because I was really, really proud of it. And thanks to Dan, I now understand the reference. Oh.

Do you remember in Office Space when they destroyed the printer? Yes, everyone does. Well, I didn't until like four months ago. do you remember in Office Space when they destroyed the printer? Yes, everyone does. Well, I didn't until like four months ago because I'd never seen it. Office Space is a really good movie, by the way. It's got the Blake seal of approval. And so a DZer recommended that we should set us destroying a microwave to the theme, like just recreate the scene.

And for those that haven't seen it, let's watch just a little bit of the printer scene from Office Space. And so they had the printer kept jamming and they just hated it. PC load letter. Yes. PC load letter? What's PC load letter mean?

And so then it's just like two minutes of feeding the crap out of this printer. Everyone's wanted to do it. Well, y'all kind of just did this with the microwave, right? Yeah. And so someone recommended we do that. So then we did. All right. So let's play the other one.

Play the microwave one. Okay. When I saw this, I didn't realize it was the exact same music. Yeah. Yeah. It was. Because Jake took... By the way... This is so painful to watch.

For so many reasons. Jake is chainsawing our microwave. Which was on fire at the same time. So stupid. I had weights that I was throwing at it. And so I made it slow-mo, just like office space. That's pretty badass. I was just super proud of this video.

Yeah, you should be. And Jake broke our chainsaw, which I had to... You didn't tell her, did you? Well, I didn't think she'd actually want to use it this weekend. And she's like, what did you, she comes up to me and she goes, why did you break our chainsaw? Ouch. I go, the word should be how.

Like, not like what, like I didn't say, I am out to break the chainsaw. Yeah. Jake did it. At least you had a really good reason. Then that's what I said. I said, Jake did it. At least you had a really good reason. Then that's what I said. I said Jake did it. Oh, you do everything Jake does. Remember the guy

that left you a present in their toilet didn't do the flush? That did not happen. It was that guy. That guy did it. That did not happen. Yes, that did once happen.

Hey, by the way, we have merch here. If anybody wants to buy merch, we have merch back here. Oh, yeah? What do we have? I don't know. Shirts wants to buy merch, we have merch back here. Oh, yeah? What do we have? I don't know. Shirts and stuff.

Okay. Great salesman. Yeah. You're selling. T-shirt, hat. What do you got there? Just a little note. Tumbler.

Tumblers? Yep. I use my DZ Tumbler every day. Solid cup. Heck, yeah. So we have a lot of people out here. It's Zolioles and Addison. A lot of guys having to sit on the same side of the table as each other.

But is that Frank Cowley? It is the great. Wait down there. It is the great. Let's all hear it for one of the Dream Team lawyers. Yes. For the dumb zone. He's very uncomfortable right now.

Personally my favorite. And is that Austin sitting with his mom at a two-top on the same side of the table? You can't give the finger in front of your mom. The man who named our old radio show. Or we named it after him, sort of. Right. He invented the hang zone. We stole, with his permission, the hang zone.

And then someone took it from us. Then we had to get rid of the hang zone. I think y'all should make a dumb zone ring of honor. He'd be in it. And he could be in it. So would Frank, though. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Nina Pham, Jenna Ryan, Haral Abob. William Pace. Yeah, William Pace. Oh, William Pace, a new addition, for sure. No rhyme or reason to it, just when somebody decides that you should have a new. Doug Townsend. Candidate. Oh, Doug.

Let's catch up. We're going to pick games with Doug, right? Yeah. Okay. By the way, speaking of that microwave, so I don't know who did this at first. Like saw that video and took a screenshot. But like that picture of the three of us looking into the microwave is awesome. It's an album cover. Yes. Possibly a shirt. Needs to be a shirt. But that picture of the three of us looking into the microwave is awesome.

It's an album cover. Yes. Possibly a shirt. Needs to be a shirt. Yeah. We'll move units. Were you all scared when you did that? No, but a lot of people were yelling at me that when I was getting really close to it,

I wasn't wearing goggles. Oh. Like men who work, you know? Right. They're like, you don't need to be putting your... We didn't know. Like, I kind of thought the door was going to like explode at one point. Yeah. From just the heat on the glass.

I did hear in retrospect, so we put a spoon in there to kill the microwave because metal. Well, they said, I heard I should have put a fork because of the long, thin metal. It would have sparked all over the place. Oh. So. Next time. the long, thin metal, it would have sparked all over the place. Oh. So, if you have a microwave, and you would like to bring it out to Zoli's in Addison, we will do it right here. In fact, I'll bet Zoli's has...

You don't have a microwave here. You actually have a big, giant pizza oven. Yeah, they don't have a microwave. Would you chainsaw their pizza oven? No, I would never do that. These are too important, too valuable. All right. Well.

Are you charging? Is yours working? Oh, yeah, I like that. You know what? It's not. Maybe I'll get it flipped. It got flipped? All right. Yeah, we're looking at that. You know what? It's not. All right, maybe we'll get it flipped. It got flipped? All right.

Yeah, we're looking at our... There we go. Doing a little stuff here on the fly. Julie. Yeah, I know. What do you got? What do I got about what? What did you bring to the table?

Yeah, come on. Do content. Well, I'm still trying to hear you guys. What? Yeah, we'll fix that during the break. Okay, whatever. I'm fighting through it. Okay.

What do you want to do first, Dan? I want to tell you that sports is brought to you by Prosper Ford in Prosper, Texas. State of the art. It's awesome. Prosperford.com. Chaz Gilmore is my guy. He has owned Grapevine Ford for many years. In fact, we just bought a Nissan from Crest Nissan because he owns that as well.

So that's weird for me to say while I'm promoting Prosper Ford. Yeah, I thought that was an odd left turn. What I want to say is that Prosper Ford is just like his other stores in the fact that, like, customer service, service beyond the sale, all that kind of stuff. But it's the first dealership he was able to build from the ground up. So he had the gold shovel. He had the hard hat. He broke ground. Big scissors.

Yeah. And so if you would like to go to Prosper Ford, great trade-in value for your current vehicle. They'll give you an accurate value today. Head up to ProsperFord.com, just up the tollway. ProsperFord.com. You're going to get a great deal. Mention to Chaz that you heard about him on one of your top ten podcasts. I hope we're one of your top ten podcasts. But hope we're one of your top 10 podcasts.

But ProsperFord and ProsperFord.com. They have electric cars for Blake. They do. They got the Mach-E. Yeah, it looks badass. And if you buy that, what is it called, the Mach-E? Yeah.

If you buy that, we will give you a free Dumb Zone sticker. You put it on the car, and it'll be your DZ Mach-E. Wow. He can't stop. He's cooking with gas today. Only available at ProsperFord.com.

I love it. Although I'll bet they're available at Grapevine Ford, too. But I shouldn't say that during the Prosper Ford read. You are out of practice, my man. I am, man. What sports do you want to get into first? I could do Cowboys first if you want. Yeah.

Okay, so most of this is just going to be a little bit of DAC stuff, but Jerry was on Deucy last night, or Deucy and Sam Gannon show, free for all. So they sat down with him. I'm only going to play you the All. So they sat down with him. I'm only going to play you the end. It was about eight minutes long. It obviously started out, oh, I got a buzz even if I'm not plugged in, Blake.

Yeah. But we're just going to have to fight through it. Yep. Or someone else can play it. It's in the Dropbox. It, of course, starts out awkwardly like it used to, and it probably still does with Jane Slater because Jerry's just horny, you know? So, they led into the interview, and of course

he does the old man, like... I can do. Which one do you want? Just the will he retire? Zero, one, two... Those are Dak, so it's the one that says Jerry, Fox, Ward, Ducey. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, will he retire? Jesus. So, it of course starts out with him being like, Sam, it's very nice to see you it, of course, starts out with him being like,

Sam, it's very nice to see you. And, of course, Mike's here too. Like he can't just not be horny for five minutes. I love it. He used to do it to Jane. Like when Jane and Elf had a show, he'd always be like, oh, Jane, it's good to see you, and I guess you brought Elf with you. Right.

This old man creepy all the time. But I thought this was a really good question uh by ducie at the end and this is how the interview ended i think it's something we all think about let me wrap with this it occurs to me that you're almost the exact same age as president biden i think you're a month older he's made a decision about his future to step away does it ever cross your mind at all to say you know know what, I don't have to deal with a lot of this stuff. We got more money than I could ever spend.

I just want to enjoy life in a different way. Not in the least, not in the least. I'd be sitting someplace if I didn't get to be sitting here with the two of you. I'd be sitting someplace away from this camp. I'd be so sick. I'd be so wistful. I'd be so much wanting to be in the game. And I'd be so much wanting these problems I'm dealing with.

And you raking me over the coals. I'd want that so bad. You know that other stuff, that just sitting on your butt? That gets old quick. Gets old real quick. Matter of fact, when you get shot at a lot and you have to work a lot, when you do get a chance to sit on your butt, it feels better. It really is a respite from that time. But to do it all the time, no thank you. No, not at all. And I'll be very candid with you. I'm more excited. I'm more fired up than I can ever remember being when I first bought the Cowboys.

And I want to go and I want to be a part of the winner. He's never going anywhere. No. He'll die in his office at the start. Yeah. We knew this though, right? Yeah, it's just funny to frame it in the Biden way. Yeah, for sure.

To just bring up, I mean, hey, you know, this guy just decided, you know, we kind of saw that he's not really all there anymore. And Jerry certainly seems much more with it than Biden did. Yeah. But, yeah, it's an interesting way to frame it. Doesn't want to sit on his butt. Which, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm sure we all think about it a lot.

Like, if you could just retire, like, if you had the means to live very well and just retire, what would you do? Because I can tell you what my dad does. Never stops doing shit. Yep. Constantly. Every time I call him, he's got some fire he's putting out. He just never relaxes because he did it for 38 years

and now he's just like, what am I supposed to do? You come up with projects. All the time. And maybe if he owned a UPS he'd still be day to day. You know? Maybe it's a different thing if you're just Maybe. You're doing your own thing or working for the man and you're just trying to get out from under the oppressive

thumb of the man. But anyways I thought that was an interesting way to frame that question. Yeah, so I have a few Dak cuts for you here. I just put another one in there too that's labeled three. So this is from last

week. We weren't on. So, of course, he's going to be asked about the contract and blah, blah, blah, blah. But I also want you to pick up on a new Dak crutch phrase and buzzword, which you'll hear pretty quickly. You want the one you just put in? No, zero first.

Okay. Yeah. I'm just here so I don't get fined. Honestly, I don't. I'm focused on now. He was asking me how do you think to say about his contract. It's always been my message. I think I've always told you all that.

I'm about being present where my feet are. And honestly, that was kind of the team message. And that's what's great is from Chad Bolin to Mike McCarthy to everybody, that's kind of just been our message. And so that's right aligned with my views, what I want to do. Okay. Where my feet are. Is that what his –

Yeah, he says that a lot. Yeah. A lot of people say that. I know. It's like a therapy term for being present and being in the moment. Be where your feet are. He's clearly worked this into his daily lexicon. So they're cut one, Dan.

Focusing on those little things. Yeah, you can embrace your time. You can embrace where your feet are and before you know it, you're just day after day getting better. Now this is a question. How could he embrace that? He's making $40 million. He's about to be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.

That's really weird that you would embrace this. Right. What a limb you've gone out on. Sorry, you were about to promote this question. He's getting close to the fire here. What do you say to the fans that are still disappointed about how last season ended for you guys? One more time. What do you say to the fans who are still disappointed in your team after what happened to you this whole season last year?

Be fans or don't be fans. If you're a fan, you're going to turn the page just as we do. You're going to move forward understanding that you've got better ahead of you. I just talked about being present and being in the now, and that's in your beliefs, that's whoever you're believing in, that's how you see your family, your friends, your favorite team. So that goes to life is to move on. Yeah, sorry, obviously.

But nobody – it hurt us more than it did them. And obviously it's on us to get back and to do better. But, yeah, move on. Wow. Not a good answer. Not a great answer at all. Not what fans want to hear. He's right, but anytime you get into the it's worse for us than it is for you

and the move on. I mean, he's right. If you're a fan, be a fan. That's part of the deal. It's fanatic, but that's a bad answer. No, you have to say they have every right to be. We haven't lived up to your expectations. There are expectations, too.

I will not rest until we do. Just say it. Yeah. And for Dak, who usually says the right thing, he's a very boring guy. Yeah. He's not funny, despite the fact that everybody laughed at what he first said. You know, it's odd that he didn't say that. I mean, when Romo said, you know, if this is the worst thing, he's right. But you can't say that. Yeah. I mean, obviously you can.

You have to play the game if you're the quarterback of the Cowboys. Yeah, you want, You're the quarterback of the Cowboys. Yeah, you want – they're all in the game, and everybody wants to believe that you care more than – I don't know. Well, here's the thing, and you can skip to the third cut for this one that I put in there. What I'm telling you is Dak is super over all this. Yeah, it sounds like it. Like we're getting to a point with him now where he's just like,

I don't owe anybody being like this answer, that answer. He's tired of it. And that's why the question of if he does go to market, does he even want to come back here, I think is a real one. I think there's a 90% chance that he's here. Maybe they get something done during camp. Maybe they get something done right after the offseason next season. But he at least talks about not being here in this one.

Jack, we talked a lot about the the business aspect of things and i'm curious even when you say your feet are here where they are if you've thought about what this league means and whether or not you're here as a cowboy next year you will be well taken care of with the way the business works in the nfl and if that is the case if you've thought about it have you found any freedom any liberation in that trying to find the best you can be yeah I'm free yeah uh to your point that that is the freedom in it and that's why you have to focus where your feet are and as I said it's a two-way street that um they have once I have once um I think I've deserved that. Understanding that this is a business.

Obviously, I want to be here. Talking about growing up, this is where I've become a man. At the end of the day, it's a business. I'm going to say it. I want to be here. But, you know, when you look up, all the great quarterbacks I watched played for other teams.

So my point in saying that is that that's not something to fear. That may be a reality for me one day. It may not be my decision. So that's the freedom that I have is be where your feet are. Make the most of it. Be confident in yourself. Make your team better. I love my teammates. I love that locker room I love everything about being out here in Oxnard and being a Dallas

Cowboy so that's what allows me to be free and focused and understand that and time comes who knows what comes as I said I've been through a lot of adversity personally that it's about you know being thankful for where you are hugging and loving on your loved ones and taking it one day at a time and um handling the rest when it approaches wow yeah yeah that's some uh in the media negotiating for you for sure i mean yeah look at all the greats look at at Joe Montana. Look at Tom Brady. Look at Peyton Manning. Look at Brett Favre.

Doesn't always end like a fairy tale. Now, it does with the Cowboys if you're Don Meredith or Roger Stalbach or Romo. But, yeah, I thought that was, you know. You see what I'm saying now? Like he's kind of tired of it. And he's just like, look, I'm going to be fine. Y'all can figure this out. If you want to go draft

a quarterback, go. I'll go get $65 million a year in, I don't know, fill in the blank. Yeah. He doesn't have time for it anymore. By the way, have you guys seen the projected Brock Purdy contract? No.

Already? Well, like... If indeed? Yeah. I think the speculation... Yeah. Really? It's at 70. Yeah, 70 is easy.

Sports is so great. I mean, Jordan Love just got, like, 60, right? But it's... I think we've talked about this before. Like, when... I think it was Nolan Ryan who broke the 1 million barrier. And, like, by two years later, someone broke the 3 million like it's you don't go up 1 million now it's 1.12 million it's well now i gotta get two yeah and it's like okay 50 we're going 60 yeah i mean it's just increasing by the same percentage it's just that the numbers are so big that the same increase means 52 to 60

and then 60 to 68. So, yeah. Wow. It's very interesting to see the evolution of Dak. You knew it was going to happen. Romo eventually was not like the guy who would come to Summer Bash and was like, hey, this is just fun.

I'm the Cowboys quarterback. Eventually, he was just like, F y'all. I mean. Stop. Stop making my life suck. It's kind of like anybody in their career, right? Yeah. Like you start and you're just happy to be there and you take the money and you do your work

and then you start getting fed up with this or that or this or that and you start being honest and then usually you leave that place. Well, I don't have any idea what you're talking about there at all. But he's no different than all of us. That's true. He just has like a football field in his backyard. Yeah. And he's getting paid a whole lot of money to go out there and do his job. And you know, Jerry wants

him to say all the right things and now he's not doing it. I would get a football field in my backyard if I had the means. And like a jugs machine? Yeah. That'd be tight. You'd go football field? Over basketball? Yeah.

I would. Wouldn't it be cool to have a little mini baseball field, Blake? Like the Dr. Pepper ballpark days? Yeah. And you put a jugs machine on the mound and you just go up, you just take batting practice, hitting into the cornfield? Sure. Sure. Now we've made it field dreams.

I have one Dak thing, and this is only we expected to hear this from Zeke. I haven't really heard from Zeke yet, but Dak was on the NFL Network. Just to now be out here in year nine and to feel the best I've ever felt is a blessing and nothing that I take lightly, so just trying to capitalize

each and every day on that and continue to get better. Yeah, getting into camp, I feel lighter. I feel faster. And, yeah, I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have. And then, obviously, mentally, that's a big part in saying I feel the best I ever have is just smart, sharp, ready to attack defenses. The old, I'm in the best shape of my life. Yeah, throwing the ball better, lighter, quicker.

Micah might have even said that too, which we're not thinking Micah's in bad shape, but he wasn't at like the offseason. Yeah, he skipped everything. That's why he had to say that though. The OTAs, yeah. It's kind of weird. A lot of drama.

It's like an insecure person thing to say to me a little bit. Like you don't need to say that. Just show us. Just show us that you're throwing the ball better than you ever had in your life. Don't tell me that. That's also why they post so much on Instagram, their workouts. Yeah. Like, it befuddles me.

You know who should post on Instagram their workouts? Somebody who was, like, really fat and lost, like, 100 pounds and committed to health and exercise. Because they're proud of what they did. Yeah. Not LeBron. Yeah, like Tyreek Hill, I watch you score touchdowns. That's super impressive.

I don't need to see that you pulled a sled. I don't need to see that you pulled a sled. To prove yourself. It's weird to me. That's all I got on Cowboys. Okay. Let's do a little of this. Do you guys see the Olympics?

Yeah. I'm watching it right now. Literally now? At Zoli's in Addison. We're watching some gymnastics over here. Oh, okay. The girl likes watching the gymnastics. That was fun. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Same. Yeah, I can't say

I care about that too much. She was like, man, she's really good. And I was like, you idiot, she's the best in the world. This is the Olympics, you moron. They don't get it, though, Jake. I had the same thing. My daughter's watching Simone Biles, and she's like, oh, I can't wait to do that someday. And I'm like, well, let me tell you something.

I don't think you'll be able to do that. Let's start with the cartwheel. It's hard to say that to a kid, though. Yeah, you just let them go for now. Yeah, you do. Celebrities at the Olympics? Tom Cruise? Yeah, he's looking old.

Really? Yeah. He's got a fake butt. Fake face, too. My mom loves Tom Cruise. Yeah. Is that surprising? No. He's got a fake butt. Fake face, too. My mom loves Tom Cruise. Yeah. Is that surprising? No.

No. She wanted to tell me that she's really looking forward to Mission Impossible, whatever the next one is. I don't know. I talked to her this weekend. I liked the last one, but she was upset that they put out a video that showed Tom Cruise doing his own stunt before she saw the movie. Oh. Because she said that took a little away from her. Mm-hmm. And she really hopes they don't do that this time.

And I said, well, you just don't have to watch when they do. Like, if that's, you know, promoted. I don't know what she's watching where she got to see that. Yeah do that this time. And I said, well, you just don't have to watch when they do. Like, if that's, you know, promoted. I don't know what she's watching, where she got to see that, because she doesn't seem to be on social media or anything. Maybe Good Morning America or something, you know, because they'll call from, like, TikTok now. Or Instagram, and they'll say, you know,

they'll put that on those morning shows. The hidden shows. John Legend. Sean White. Sean, that shouldn't count. If you're an White. Sean, that shouldn't count. If you're an Olympian yourself, that shouldn't count as a celebrity sighting. Yeah, no, I mean, LeBron's not on there. Yeah, but he's not.

Oh, no, no, a former Olympian even. Former Olympian, but he's now more in the celebrity group because of his girlfriend, Nina Dobrev. What's her bit? She's just a famous actress and she's really pretty. So famous that nobody here has heard of her.

Well, that doesn't say much. Y'all haven't heard of a lot of people. That's very true. Lady Gaga. Who's she in? Ariana Grande. She's quite famous. Lady Gaga and the new Joker. Oh, really? I'm worried.

It looks like a musical. Looks like there's a whole lot of singing. Man, Joker is one of my top five all-time movies. It's so good, but... And now they're going to do that? Now they're going to turn it into an opera with Lady Gaga. Charlize Theron. Perfect.

Elizabeth Banks. Queen Latifah. And Snoop. Oh my gosh. He's all over everything. Everywhere. Yeah.

Isn't that weird? It's super weird. Like, why? I mean, he was charged with murder once upon a time. It's because he's going to be on The Voice or something, like one of the NBC shows.

Yeah, they've used him before. That's what all of this is. Yeah, it's NBC. Remember, they've used him before, him and Kevin Hart, a couple years ago, did Olympic commentary. I think they've used him on horse racing, too. Yeah. It's the cross-promotion thing.

And have you noticed all of the commercials for Wicked and Ariana Grande? Oh, that's why? It's because that's a NBC, it's like a Universal movie or whatever. Yeah. It's all connected, Dan. That's why they're doing all this. And we're all falling for it. I would never do anything like that.

You know, you should download the mom game if you get a chance. Please do. The Snoop thing is amazing, though. You know, you should download the mom game if you get a chance. Please do. The Snoop thing is amazing, though. I mean, you know, the cringe term glow up, like they've completely turned him into someone that like white suburban moms are like, Snoop, he's so funny. I'm like, I grew up listening to this guy rap about killing people. His jokes have been very corny on the Olympic coverage, to your point.

And I am a white suburban mom and he's made me laugh. All the Martha Stewart fans are now Snoop fans. That helped. That helped. So you're asking yourself, why does LeBron wear number six? I wasn't. I never have thought

about it once. And so some people have talked to him about this. He said he's called number six a number of mine. He will reference that his oldest son, Bronny, was born October 6th. Oh, no. Not numerology. His second son, Bryce, was born on June 14th, which is the sixth month of the year.

Yep. This is Stretch Armstrong would be unable to complete this. He also said that Julius Irving was one of his favorite players growing up. Oh, how unique. Irving wore not only number 32, but number six during his career in the ABA and the NBA. Okay. Three times two?

Yeah. Six? Yep. But so LeBron has said those things, but the actual reason is probably that before 2018, players were only permitted to wear

numbers 4 through 15 in FIBA competitions. So, LeBron could not wear his 23. But, the rules have changed. Team USA still, though, only uses number 4 through 15 for their 12-man roster.

Or 12-woman roster. Which, Caitlin Clark, not on the team, right? No. Right. So, see how nobody's giving a flying F about the... Yeah. Wasn't that just idiotic? Well... They should have put her and Angel Reese on,

even if they aren't theoretically two of the top 12 players on the planet. Do we have any, like, hot sports opinion production music while this guy goes off on this? Come on, man. Don't you think? Don't you think somebody would care about that? You'd probably watch that more than the men. Yeah.

I haven't heard anyone. I mean, the women are like historically good, right? At the Olympics, the US women. Yeah. I think so, yeah. So that's why nobody kind of cares. Still, you don't hear people talking about it too much, but I agree.

If Caitlin Clark was there, you would be hearing a lot more about it. All I heard about was Kevin Durant. Anyway, I think we have a bunch of medals now. We're winning. We're on top. So that's good, right? Do you have more? The only more I was going to lead into what I do know you

wanted to talk about is the opening ceremony. Yeah, a little bit. I mean, people got real mad about it. Big mad, Blake. Because they did super French. They're weird as hell. We already talked about it. Super French. Their president married his teacher,

who's like 20 years older, and nobody thinks anything of it. They're always weird. You know, they're like these art shows, basically. Remember the one in Beijing, where I was pretty certain at that moment that China was about to take over the world, because they had like 1,000 people choreographing,

like drum, banging on drum. It was 2008, right? 2008. For 2008. No, I'm saying there were 2008 drummers. Oh, there were 2008? Okay, I didn't know that. Yeah, for the year.

It was terrifying. That's a lot of drummers. This one made me think, we're probably okay if French wants to smoke. Well, yeah. I'm not real worried about these dainty fellas.

I don't know if this water's safe to get in. Yeah. So they had a, part of it was they did a, you know, a little art piece with some actors and actresses in drag.

And many people thought that they were mimicking The Last Supper. Yes, that was a big deal Saturday morning on the search. Yeah. They said they were predicting, depicting a painting of the Feast of the Gods, depicting Dionysus,

which is like the god of wine, I believe. Really? Is that right? Holla! And then I guess everybody chilled out. I need to get to know Dionysus a little better. I just love, I love the Olympics for the stuff that people get mad about.

I love it, you know? People were really mad. Yeah, and then the French, whoever put it on, were like, no, it's not. I denounce this. We're making fun of, we're actually depicting a pagan god. And they're like, oh, that's cool. Yeah.

Like, shouldn't you be bothered by that? Greek mythology. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Like, shouldn't you be bothered by that? Like Greek mythology. Well, that's silly. Those are silly gods that don't exist. Yeah. Our god exists. It was really weird, though. It was really weird.

It's all really weird. It's all really weird. Yeah. Did you see the guy who had his balls hanging out? No, I did not. But that man almost shot a piece of pizza. I did not see that.

Well, if you Google it, one of the guys in costume, it was poking out. Okay. Yeah. Oh, we got it up there now? And so there's like a debate. Yeah.

There's like a debate of how you can go on like this and not know it. Did he know it? Did he not know it? But it's body paint, so it's okay. That's not the sack one. There's a different sack hanging out one.

Yeah, and there's another too. There were multiple guys with their stuff hanging out. I did see the surfer. You work your whole life to get to the Olympics, and then you get crushed by a wave so hard that it takes your pants off, and the only photo of you is you ass up in the ocean, like face down. It's like, dude, come on. This is how I'm going to go out?

I didn't see that. No, but the other – I just had a couple of other quick notes that I saw this morning. Do you guys remember Chase Budinger? Kind of. He played for the Timberwolves. He played for the Rockets. He was a big-time recruit in high school. He was actually the co-MVP

of the McDonald's All-American game. Once, famously, on a Mavs broadcast when the Mavs were playing the Timberwolves, Skin remarked that Chase Budinger looks like he dabbles in magic. Because he does. Like, I mean, you can see the guy, you know, he's he's a goofy, curly hair. What a great description of somebody. White guy. Not full-on magician. No, just dabbles. Just dabbles. He was taken to the second round in 2009. Like I said, he was a big, big-time recruit. Number two player in the country in 2006. Had like a seven, eight

year career. Kind of flamed out. Was mostly a bench player. He's on the Olympic men's beach volleyball team. Okay. Like I saw him dapping up Kevin Durant yesterday and I was like, is that Chase Budinger? Did they add somebody to the team?

That's weird. And then you keep reading. It's like, because I recognize the guy. And it's like, yeah, he's 36 and decided, now I play beach volleyball and he's in the Olympics. Are there some people mad at that? Like when a golfer gets an exemption, but they've taken the spot of somebody who's worked their whole life to be a golfer. Yeah, it's probably somewhat similar.

But in this case, like he's actually good enough to be on the team. You know what I mean? He's tall as hell. Yeah, it's probably somewhat similar, but in this case, like, he's actually good enough to be on the team. You know what I mean? He's tall as hell. Yeah, he's 6'8", something like that. And then doesn't that diminish that sport overall if just some guy can walk in and be like, hey. But he's a great athlete. It's not just some guy.

He's 36. Not like he's 22. And he didn't start until he was, like, 29. Like, when he retired from the NBA, he started playing volleyball, and now he's just on the Olympic team. Wow. And I looked up a couple of other ones that were funny to me. This is hilarious.

There was a lady in 1908. This just lets you know how sports used to be, who was on the England women's national field hockey team and later won a silver medal in the Olympics in archery. So you're just like, I don't know. I'm good at all this stuff. I got hand-eye coordination. Of course, Herschel, if you remember, was a bobsled pusher in 1992.

Yeah. It just, I don't know, found it odd. You just want to be in the Olympics, and they'll learn a whole new sport to get there. A lady in Australia was on the Olympic rugby team and then just switched to basketball and was in the Olympics for basketball. So that's how good –

how many women actually play basketball in Australia? I guess, yeah. You're just like, you're big and strong and fast and athletic, so why don't you just try all this? I was watching a little three-on-three, which I didn't know. Yeah. Did you know Jimmer Fredette? No. He's our best player, I think. Really?

I didn't recognize the other couple names, but I definitely remember. Three-on-three in the Olympics? Yeah. Which I didn't know about until I saw it. But yeah, Jimmer's out there just chunking threes. That's awesome. They play half court. They have to kind of check the ball kind of.

Kind of. But even when the team scores, you just take it out as fast as you can. Yeah. You have to take it back. But it's weird. Yeah. It's a weird flow. Damn, they have break dancing.

They do? Yeah. Okay. Well. They have everything. I guess that's not why we're not that interested in the Olympics, right? Just overall? Yeah.

Are you? I just like to know what people are upset about. I am, but I'm not into break dancing. It's on in the background because, like I said, the girl likes watching gymnastics. Yeah, it's kind of a kid thing. The Olympics? Kind of. Kids and older women, I think.

Really? Yeah. You don't think men are into it? I think it also brings in kids and older women along with men. I'll watch the hockey in the winter. Yeah, I love it. And I'll watch the basketball if my favorite country, Slovenia, is in it. And otherwise, I'm not watching.

I'm not watching the Americans play. It's boring. Come on, man. They haven't been blowing people out. I know. That's how LeBron likes it. He's keeping the games close so he can sharpen the iron of his teammates. I did see that Tatum didn't get a minute.

That was funny. He's injured or something. I think he's playing today. He looked fine when he was handing LeBron a water. I think I saw some people saying this is great. Like Steve Kerr is trying to get in the minds of the Celtics. And so by bringing one guy onto the team and another guy's mad that he's not on the team.

Then once he brings him on the team, he's not even playing him. He's trying to mess with his confidence. Yeah. It is interesting, though, that the best player on the team is 38. Yeah. There has been no transfer to the next one yet, where Jordan was out of the league when he's 38. Yeah.

We need to do a segment on this at some point because I've seen a lot of people talking about it. America's sports are wholly unprepared for the exit of LeBron. The whole house of cards is just leveraged on him. You know, like hot takes, and he's still the guy that everybody talks about. He's still the most marketable player.

I mean, Durant maybe too and Curry, but they're going to be gone soon too. Yeah. And so LeBron is kind of keeping this entire economy together right now. American, yes. Yeah. Because, yeah, the best players are... Yeah, old. Or not American.

Yeah, yeah. Olympics. Olympics. Coming to NBC. Is that a good close video, man? Yay, Olympics. Coming to NBC. Is that a good closed video, man? Yay, Olympics. NBC near you. All right, so we don't seem to have our pizza yet,

so you want to do some viewer mail? Sure, yeah. So we're just going to break when the pizza gets here? Yes. Okay. Hey, everybody. It's time to answer some of the things we're doing. By the way, we're at Zoli's in Addison.

Nice crowd. I forgot we should reset that because some people might be tuning into us on Twitter. That's right. Come join us. Where else are we? They'll give you that Hawk 2-up. We're also on YouTube and Facebook and Twitch. Wow.

Look at y'all. Wow. Cross-platform. Can I go first? Yeah, man. Do your thing. I don't think this one got sent to you. James says, subject line, upping the moosing.

Okay. And the body of the email simply says, antlers go on her head. Unlike moosing, this takes skill and is risky. So, you touch her? You might just want to hover. Okay.

You hover your hands around. It's going to be really awkward. I mean, I could probably try to do it on camera, but you're going to have to kind of hunch forward, you know? So, I heard y'all reference this, and I'm scared to say, but I don't know.

We'd never heard of it before. What it is. We didn't come up with this. I don't want to say. It's a fake bit. It's a real bit. I don't know. We've been hearing from a lot of people.

Is it? So it's something you do in the act, I'm guessing? It's a part of your bedroom arsenal. Male and woman? Can I start asking questions until I figure it out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan doesn't like whenever they explain it. The guy is behind.

It makes Dan uncomfortable for some reason. It's just gross. Is it an MW situation? That's right. We're just MW. Or it could be MM. Could it be MM or WW or MWM? It could be WW. I sat down and y'all were talking about the Eiffel Tower,

so that's where my head's at. WW would have to have some equipment. By the way, yeah. It could be WWWSO. You would need to purchase the upgrade package. Also, we don't use W. We use F. Get it right.

Oh. Okay? I use W. And I am one. You can't tell me which one to use. I'm a WF. I'm telling you the industry we use F. C, F, N, M.

C, F, what? N, M. The C stands for clothed. The N stands for naked. Oh, that industry. Okay. All right. Now he's back.

I'm a researcher. He's back. So anyways, anyways yeah that's that's from James I'll start off with non-birthday email game stand up desk

is the subject line game changer I sell insurance but it's made me much more productive happy belated birthday slash anniversary

great recap although yeah go ahead Blake left Akash out. Blake. And then, now a complaint.

Oh, no. My recent perch of merch didn't come with any free stickers. Come to Addison. I have five DZ shirts now. Nice. See y'all at the Rangers game. This is from Plashley. No way! Plashley's back from Plashley. No way!

That's right. Plashley's back? Plashley. Plashley's a DZ. What do we call a woman DZ? I don't know. CZ?

Thank you. I love Plashley. DZV? Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know that we love the DZ thing. But anyways, I'm happy to hear

from Plashley. Well, we do love it now know that we love the DZ thing. But anyways, I'm happy to hear from Flashly. Well, we do love it now that we're on a DZ RV. Flashly would have five shirts. He's going to stick with that the whole time, isn't he? Yeah, of course. Probably have Raymond make him a little hashtag DZ RV shirt. Little hat. Yeah.

Mr. Fat Cat Hotmail, other people are celebrating my birthday, my 38th birthday. It's a wonderful, fantastic birthday. One of the best birthdays. The best. Pretty good birthday. My leaders are TC's pronunciation of Kamala. He struggles. Oh, I do too.

Jake's picnic table. How? I don't know. It's in the news every day. Now it is, but before that. She ran for president. I know. I know.

I made the mistake on the mom game, which is why I bring this up, and Emily made fun of me, so it sounds like T.C. and I are in the same. It's a brain thing for me. It's just locked in. Yeah. More Blake. More Danny. From Kellen McGuire.

It's probably McGuire. It says G-U-A-R. So why don't you take it back there, guy who just wants to make fun of me. Shut up. I have one from Tyler regarding leeches. Okay. Would you like to reset? Yeah. Julie, my wife texted me a picture of leeches at work. Would you like to reset? Yeah.

Julie, my wife texted me a picture of leeches at work. She's an ICU nurse, and I thought leeches was something from like the 1800s. Like surely we're past leeches at this point. Did you know they use that now? We still use them. I heard y'all talking about this, and I was just as shocked as everybody was. Yes.

Well, Tyler's wife is a 15-year vet of the Parkland Surgery ICU. They store the leeches in the fridge, as Blake said. He said it's a normal fridge. Like a fridge in there? Like the half and half is in there? When he says normal fridge, yeah, it makes me think like, oh, there's my sugar-free Red Bull and a batch of leeches. For the night shift, yeah. He says, I think they hibernate in cold.

When the leech gets full, so this is whenever they have it on the patient, they unhook and go wandering. Yes. She said she'd come into her patient's room. Lots of times they are knocked out or so effed up they aren't aware of things. And she would, I feel kind of weird doing this at a restaurant, but still. She would follow the line of blood on the floor to find the leech. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. She gets all fat and just takes off and just leaves a trail of leech blood, of human blood coming out of the leech, and that's where they, like, scoop up the little critter. So my question about the leeches is, like, if you're somebody that's been leeched, do you have to give permission, and do you know? We talked about it, yeah. Like, if you're out of's been leeched, do you have to give permission and do you know? We talked about it.

Like if you're out of it. I don't know. And then you wake up and you've been leeched and you go on with your whole life not knowing that you've been leeched. They should have to disclose that you were leeched. Right? Yeah, I think so.

So I told my wife about this and she said that when they get bored, primarily doctors because nurses won't do this, they'll drop the leeches in peroxide, and they'll just swell up and explode. Wow. So. That's what they do to pass time.

Okay, not that leech video, Dan. When they're bored at work. Different leech. Not Mike Leech. They have leech games. Rest in peace. Leech Olympics. Sup, Dan? Day three zoner, Drew Hummel, Mike Leach. They have Leach games. Rest in peace. Leach Olympics.

Sup, Dan? Day three zoner, Drew Hummel, wants to wish my brother Walker happy 30th. His heroes are Chappy, Kyrie, and Jake's buddy, whose parents bought a house in Angel Fire. Nice. Yeah, they did. They did. He's probably listening.

I was born in 1989. Dazed and Confused is so much better than I Love You, Man. That's from Drew, who says there's 420 in the Venmo for your financial world. Who is ever pitting those two against each other? Blake did. Those are y'all's two? We did. Blake did earlier. You guys mocked my open, so I went to your neck with Dazed and Confused.

Okay. I Love You, Man. It's a Confused. Okay. I love you, man. It's a good movie. Oh, it is not. Yes, it is. We're watching it on the DZ RV. Your Grace. It's a good movie, Blake.

Two Sawbucks have been sent to the DZ Venmo. Authentic day one, number 90. Now people are differentiating themselves. Like, I didn't buy my way in. I was there early. Well, this idea gets the people going. Birthday shout-out. It's my Joe Carter on the Indians plus Cameron Brink birthday.

My leaders are Dan's catheter nurse. Jake's 48-mile-per-hour fastball, and Blake's acrobatic squirrels. More Blake, Rachel, and the lawyers from Dylan. Got a Rachel and a lawyer here today. That's right. Did you see Rachel? She's our intern. She's right there.

Hi, Rachel. Don't get too close. Rachel says Akash is in the video anniversary show. If you want to check it out. Why don't you guys quit responding to comments? Boy, no one watches the comments more than Rachel. I need to stop. But she's a commenter as well.

That's true. She's fine. That's kind of part of her gig. Yeah, but she'll argue with her husband on Twitter. That's awesome. It's like, wait, why don't you just do it at home? That's awesome. What if like, wait, why don't you just do it at home? That's awesome. What if your wife

was like heavily online? Wouldn't you hate that? Yes, I would. Yes, I would. That's why I didn't marry Julie. She's in the Patreon comments, less Jake. Yeah.

Yeah, it would suck because typically if you're super online, like you try to be funny and I'd have to be like, babe, no. Oh, you don't think she could pull it off? I don't think so. Wow. He's trying to funny gatekeeper.

Be like, Jake fell asleep on me last night. I think she'd do great with jokes on Twitter. I caught him moosing. Day 2 DF number 1024 Joel C. reporting from Colorado Springs Let's see More Blake My leaders are William Pace's angelic voice

And Jake's buddy's squirting girlfriend It is my son Vincent's And Jake's buddy's squirting girlfriend. It wasn't just Ali. It is my son Vincent's Michael Young. I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. Michael Young birthday. Vincent's birthday. I'm hoping to get a good grade from Jake on that name. What was it again?

Vincent. That's awesome. That's a strong name. Vinny. You're going to end up being. That's a strong name. Vinny. You're going to end up being called Vinny. You can do Vinny. You can do Vince. Vincent is distinguished.

But Vin. Vin's tight too. Vin is just like. Yeah. Now you're driving fast. Right. Drinking Coronas. Robin Banks.

Also, Monday is my Jackie Robinson birthday. All I ask for is to be the Mooser and not the Moosey. One of the most disappointing things, to go back to Vin, this guy's an authentic Vin, right? But I was so bummed out. I knew his last name wasn't Diesel, but I assumed his first name was Vincent.

It's not? Vin Diesel's name is Mark Sinclair. Aww. What a dweeb. It's like the most boring name you could possibly have. I mean, I get why he changed it. Is that a Kemp's man? Yeah. That he has a different name?

That doesn't count. I feel like it should be. Ah, come on. So he was just sitting there as Mark Sinclair thinking, how can I come up with a cooler name? I have the biceps. I have the tank top. Vin Diesel.

And then the rolls just start pouring in. Yes. That's how it works. Back to Joel C. He says, hit me up if you guys ever grow a pair. Oh. And actually move to Colorado. Oh.

I'm down for a mountain 960 visit. Keep up the good fight. You guys are bigger heroes than Jesus and George Washington combined. That's huge. That's huge. That's huge for y'all. That is. Put that on the sales deck. Testimonial.

Fan testimonial. These guys are bigger than Jesus and George Washington combined. And I got day twoer Paul here who says, hey, Dan, I want to report on an odd phenomenon I had never experienced before. I went to the Morgan Wallen concert. Ah, yes. With my wife this weekend at the Death Star.

There were more jean shorts and cowboy boots than I'd like to admit. The crowd was about 70% women. This made me question whether or not I should be listening to this dude. I tell myself I was there for Jelly Roll anyway. Did Jelly Roll open? Yeah.

Jelly Roll came on before Morgan Wallen. So that's your like, it's all good that you just love Jelly Roll? Yeah. Oh, no, you're cool now, dude. That doesn't seem better to me. I love jelly rolls. I'm just here for jelly rolls. That's kind of weird.

Late in the evening before Morgan got up, women started feebly dashing into the men's restroom, utilizing the stalls. I understood as the lines for the ladies' room were over 100 people deep. It got weirder later in the evening as there were simply two lines in the men's room. One for dudes to use the urinals and one for ladies to use the stalls. The ladies line started at the stalls so women were chilling

in there surrounded by 20 dudes with hog in hand. It was a little weird, but I was a few beers in so it didn't bother me. Hog in hand. That stopped me down. I felt for them because they would miss half the set if they waited in the ladies line. What does the dumb

zones take on this? Thanks. More Julie and more size after the abrupt end to the news from day two, Paul. Lucky day. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. I would be a little bit worried that they're kind of in danger because as he mentioned, there's a lot of drunk dudes in there.

And now there's, like, ladies with their pants down. Yeah, but I feel like society... Like, we're going to... Society is going to make do, no matter what the politicians argue about. If society thinks it's worthy, then we're just going to act like that. Right?

I mean, stop signs exist, but do you ever stop at the stop sign on Bernie and Carroll Avenue because there's no one ever there? No. Every single time. You know what I mean? Yes, I stop every time I use a turn signal.

You're such a dork. I come to a full stop it's new that's that's your new name full stop jake i'm trying to figure out how to like a title this new jake full stop jake yeah it's a little bit weird it would be weird too if you kind of like went in with your with your wife and now there's like a bunch of other or your girlfriend or whatever now there's a bunch of other dudes as the girlfriend or whatever, now there's a bunch of other dudes, as the emailer indicated, hog in hand. But you do what you got to do, I guess. Bathrooms are changing a lot these days.

What? Oh, yeah? What does that mean? They really are. You laugh. Okay, so whatever. There's the unisex ones at a lot of places. Unisex, whatever, where anybody can go in the bathroom. No, uni, that's how to pronounce it. Okay. Unisex ones at a lot of places. Unisex, whatever, where anybody can go in the bathroom.

No, uni, that's how to pronounce it. Okay. Unisex. I said it weird. Unisex. So that's a thing, and that's fine. There's reasons and everything else. Do you think she's like Ralph Strangis,

where you meet Ralph, and you're like, how did this guy ever used to do Coke? Like, he's already like he's on Coke, but if he was, and then you're like, how did this guy ever used to do Coke? Like he's already like he's on Coke, but if he was, and then you meet Julie and you're like, she hasn't been drinking today? Like she's just giggling and laughing. Okay, go ahead. This is just me. All right, back to bathrooms are...

They're really changing. They're really changing. Okay, so you have those and they'll hit you when you're least expecting it, like at a Starbucks or whatever, and it's fine. You roll with it. It's a lot grosser than it used to be for the ladies when you go into one of those restrooms. Yeah, I don't know about that.

A hundred percent. But you deal with it because that's what you got. You got to pee. Okay? Then at like the clubs and the fancier places nowadays, they'll do like where there's just doors for peeing, but there's like an area where everybody hangs out and washes their hands together.

Yeah. Men and women. I've seen that before, too. Yeah, I was at a place that was way too cool for me, downtown, a few months ago. So unisex bathrooms do exist, even with the bathroom bill or whatever. You know Dan's bit, right?

Yeah. No. Well, I don't know. What is it? This guy's never seen a family restroom that he's passed up. Oh, your big family restroom guy? They're great. Dude, you're the worst. There's so much room in there. Don't do that. What do you mean? There's a lady standing outside with a baby who had a blowout, just crying. Yeah. Other kids running off and Dan's

just like, and he's stripped out in here. I love how other kids are running off and Dan's just like, and he's stripped out in here. I love how Jake has thrown this grenade at Dan when you do the same thing. No, I do not. You said at the gym your stuff got locked in the family bathroom locker and you couldn't get it out. Different situation. There is a full family locker room. It's a family locker room, but they

have changing rooms. I guess I do it, but there's like eight of them. There's like eight of them. Can you believe this guy Dan does that? There's one. There's one. And he occupies it. It's kind of like using the... Why do you do that, Dan?

The HOV lane when no one's in it and you're alone. Like, I'm just helping traffic. I'm helping the traffic in the men's bathroom. Like, I'm at a movie theater and I'll go use the family restroom

because... No, you're not helping anybody. Yeah, I am. How do you know that the family doesn't need the restroom? Well, it does suck when you walk out

and there's a lady there with a kid. Crying. I've been in there like a half hour because I'm on Twitter. I'm sitting down, you know, relaxing.

Doing his taxes. Yeah, you know. Watching moosing videos. Yeah. Eating a cup of soup. And then the mom just kind of... Soup? Yeah, you ever take some soup into a restroom?

No, I don't take food into a restroom. Seems like I'm not going in there after that guy. All right. Cover your eyes, kids. I think our delicious pizza's here. I think our delicious Zoli's pizza's here. We will be here as well if you are tuning in to us on the web or somewhere. We're available

in many different places. But if you're already tuning in, I don't need to promote that, right? And if you're listening later, which most people will, now you'll just be so disappointed that you're left out. Did we put out like a thing on the Patreon app that says

where we're at today? No, I missed that one. Well, we kind of had some momentum heading into the break there. I should have just lied. Want to eat? Please. All right. The Dunza, Dunza, Dunza, Dunza.

What kind of a timer you got on there? I have no idea. We're at Zoli's in... Why do you have a Mac that runs Windows? Why are you all making so much fun of me? We're at Zoli's in Addison, everybody. Zoli's. Zoli's.

Zoli's. Got a bunch of people here having a good time. Did get a tiny bit of feedback that the people in the very back were having trouble hearing. But it was Kelly. So just so you know. We're trying to make...

It's always on our ass. We've already made this appearance way better than the one when we were at Cane Rosso. So the point is to make each thing a tiny bit better. Atomic Habits, Dan. If you try to be too much better,

that's the bar. We're just crawling along. 1% better every day, Dan. Who says that? There's that Atomic Habits book that I read and was like, I'm going to do all this, and then did none of it. At least you read it.

I'm like, it would change my life. This book is life changing. We have Atomic Habits books sitting around our house. It doesn't even get read. We have intentions. I actually have Atomic Habits on my shelf. Never read it. Well, I think that's better than what I did, which was read it and then be like.

Let's Eiffel Tower this napkin. What? Never. I'm going to give you the Olympic exemption. Does Julie not know the Eiffel Tower? When you say no, you mean like biblically? Look it up. I don't want to look it up. Look it up. It's great.

One thing before we get to Blake has some audio slash video, right? Yeah. Hand that mic back to Rob. Rob Chickering is well known as Video Man. Rob Chickering is well known as Video Man. Rob Chickering. Hey.

In another life, he was a skydiving chief. In another life, he was, I don't know, he's done a lot of things. Stuff. Done so many things and so much stuff. He worked for Alex Stein. So we had a couple guys over here saying, Hey, Jake, is that your bag? And it was an X Games bag.

Check, check, check. Hello, hello. I said, no, it's not Jake's, and Rob was digging through it, and it looked like it's Rob's bag. So Rob is a, he's been a chief engineer. He's run entire radio networks. He's like, so he's a man of a, but he also does little side projects.

Side quests. Like someone will hire him to come do, set up a whole whatever, conference or something, right? Yeah. Like you're good at technical stuff. Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Except for the whole sound thing in the back here

at Zoli's. Can you hear me in the back, everyone? What a dick. But so I figured, oh, Rob once, as we know others, John Sponsor, I think, was once hired by NBC just to be like an Olympic guy. He would go

do wires and cables. Oh, is he really? Yeah, still doing it. Okay. So I figured, oh, Rob was hired once by the X Games to like set up stuff. And then I directed Rob to these guys who were saying, hey, who's, and I said, oh, that's Rob's.

He, I think, Rob, did you work for the X Games or something? And he said, yeah, I was in the X Games. Yeah. What? Yeah. It's casual. And he's like, oh, yeah, no, I was just in the X Games. So. Then we said, stop talking. Yeah, what are you, what?

So, I was a skydiving photographer, videographer on a sky surfing team in the X Games in 1990, good good gosh hang on three four somewhere around there the first year the x games ever occurred i was the arena announcer announcer for sky surfing so as people kind of came into land i told people who was on under parachute and that kind of stuff then we competed and got qualified and we were in the top 10 of the world. So we were number 10. Wait, if you're the video guy,

how do you compete? It's a team effort. So I have a video camera on my helmet and I'm skydiving with him and it's kind of a choreographed routine. What in the world? Yeah. This is amazing. Is this on video somewhere? Yeah, I got tons of video of it. We can delve deeper into that one

day if you want to. Okay, yeah. Is Jimmy just now learning about his skydiving prowess? Yeah, I got tons of video of it. We can delve deeper into that one day if you want to. Okay, yeah. Is Jimmy just now learning about his skydiving prowess? Yeah, I am. So 1,600 skydives total. What? Yeah. I finished when my... Are you insane? I kind of wrapped it up when my son was born because, you know, kind of like Jake, I put away the leather jacket and decided

it had to be his. Not going to be that guy. But yeah, it was pretty cool. So we qualified in Switzerland, Germany. We jumped all over the world and spent a ton of money, but it was a lot of fun. Oh my gosh. Yeah. You're never going to do it again?

I would love to do it again. When was the last time? Oh gosh, it was probably, somebody asked me that the other day. Probably 22 years ago, 23 years ago. My son was a couple years old. Dude, wasn't it scary? It was pretty crazy. Oh, I loved it.

It was a blast. Wasn't it scary? Yeah. You got to push through it, Julie. Just like Jake's oil change ladies. It takes a certain breed of human to want to do that. I just think maybe the first time is scary, but time 1,574. You get a little used to it.

You probably got used to it. Yeah, exactly. But it's super scary to me. He's a man of mystery. Like, we don't know anything about this guy. I know. I think he likes it that way. I'll need to dive into this a bit more.

He's on a radio network. It's like, okay, he knows how to- He's been skydiving a few times. Yeah. Which is enough to, if you'd done that, I'd be like, that guy likes skydiving. A few times. Yeah, four. A couple times. Yeah, and then he's like, how about 2,000? And the X Games. Yeah, I forgot enough to, if you'd done that, I'd be like, that guy likes skydiving. A few times. Yeah, four times.

Yeah, and then he's like, how about 2000? And the X Games. Yeah, I forgot that bag said X Games on it. Yeah, we got some cool swag.

Like, there were a couple, those first two years, shoes, bags, all Nike stuff. It was pretty badass. Really nice stuff.

Is there a lot of banging in the X Games village? Wow. So much banging. Yeah? Yeah. Banging. In free fall.

Here's the thing, Dan, it's not just banging, it's extreme banging. Yeah? Banging. In free fall. And it's, here's the thing, Dan, it's not just banging, it's extreme banging. That's right. Absolutely. X-banging. X-banging.

Extreme banging. Thank you, Julie. Sorry. I don't know what to rock with me. Keep her here. Yeah,

we need to do a Who is Rob? You are funny. No, we can play some video. I'll play some video. We'll play some stuff here. Yeah, we need to do a who is Rob. You are funny. We can play some video. I'll pull some video. We'll play some stuff. I feel like I'm just going to tell you, I'm going to roll on every conversation we have in the,

I guess I'll say, DZ RV. Yay! So I don't forget. Oh, no. So I don't forget. It's official. It's a fish. Crazy.

Totes a fish. It's leaving at 7 a.m. on Sunday. That is exactly right. Oh, God. With or without you, Dad? You just got to stumble onto the overview. You guys will leave without me? Huh.

I thought about saying that earlier. Yeah. You realize that? Yeah. I was like, that's what he wants. To deal with my kid. All right. Well, reverse psychology.

Yeah. Here's Blake. How do I follow that up? All right. I got some audio from our favorite Carolina Panthers wide receiver. Yes. Oh, is this the Cajun guy? Yeah.

So we fell in love with him because he talks like this. I was about five years old. And ever since I was a little boy, my uncle here uncle here brought horses to my house every day for my birthday. It's the most country accent I've ever heard. We rode our horses on the weekends. And he's a wide receiver in the NFL. Dallaville. What's that?

Dallaville. Dallaville? Yeah, it's a ragging horse. One that's still pretty. That was my question. Is it like a quarter horse? Oh, yeah, it's a quarter horse? Oh, yeah. It's a quarter horse.

We got some race horses. Yeah. Right. Like in their schedule release video, they had him breed one of them. And I was like, they should have just had him for the whole thing. Yes. He kind of sounds like Boomhauer. Yeah.

And again, like if he's a right guard, okay, you know, it's one thing. But he – The first round pick wide receiver. First round, yeah. Out of South Carolina, he gets drafted by the Panthers. And the Panthers social media team kind of understands what they have. And so they handed him the phone one day and asked him for a weather report. I like it.

And this was it from Panthers training camp. What's going on, Panther Nation, man a really good here man i'm just here with a weather report it's a little bit cloudy out here a little bit of rain it's been raining all morning but we're really excited to practice in this weather here man good weather it ain't too hot thank you do it keep fine i got no idea i know he even did a boomer hour man don't get cloudy out here man it cloudy, but it's not hot. We like practicing in it. Yeah. It's not too hot, man.

He also said his name, Leggett. Yeah, I heard that. Which I thought, Leggett. And so, yeah. Okay, so just like training camp, they do a lot of interviews. You know, all this credentialed media gets access to the players. So very man on the street, this guy walks up to him and asks him a few questions. And we have to play it. So let's play the street, this guy walks up to him and asks him a few questions, and we have to play it.

So let's play the first clip. This is setting up the game that they're going to do, and, yeah, here's more Xavier Lee get. Yeah, I appreciate you for taking the interview. Who I'm talking to? Xavier Lee. Mother of South Carolina. Okay, okay, my boy in the spot. What position you play?

What's your number? What school you from again? I went to the University of South Carolina. He's amazing. His mouth barely moves when he speaks. Barely. South Carolina. Wide receiver.

Wide receiver. He's awesome. Yeah. Is he good? He's really good. First round pick, yeah. But not – Who knows? Bryce Young.

Not the sharp – Bryce Young, get him the ball. Not the sharpest guy we're finding out. Let's play the next clip. Some light questions, all right? How old are you, Xavier? You're 23 years old. You're number 17 and you're 23 years old.

If you was born 10 years ago, how old would you be? Man, shit. Hey, cut the camera. Hey, just give me your best answer, doggy. No, no, no. So trying to trick him, throw a bunch of numbers at you, but overall, if you were born 10 years ago, how old would you be? Yeah, very simple.

But the reason I set all this up is this last clip because it's another trick question they're playing. Are you smarter than a fifth grader? But the way that he says this word just had me in fits. I got another one, one more. How many months in a year got 28 days? Only one. Which month is that?

February. And you're 100% sure? Yeah. And you're going with that? I'm going with February. You my boy, so I'm going to give you one more chance. How many months in a year got 28 days? February.

Just February. Yeah. No other month? Nah. No other month got 28 days you stick with February that's why you my dog but you wrong though I don't I can't spell I can't spell what he is saying I don't know that I could spell February the proper way right now. February.

It's got a sneaky R in there. It's kind of amazing, though, that they just stumbled into that with that question. Like his answer was the weirdest pronounced word ever. And now we all have February. I think that the... Because they asked him that question. We all got so lucky. That guy's awesome.

Yeah, he is. Man, he's got to be the hit of camp. Oh, yeah. You know, the social media team is just like, let's just stick with this. Well, if he was at Cowboys Camp, we'd hunt him down every day. Yeah, of course.

Whoa. Sorry, Rob. More audio slash video? I have today in Twitter. That's what I have. Okay. You know what the acronym for that is, Julie? I have today in Twitter. That's what I have. Okay. You know what the acronym for that is, Julie? I do, Dan.

I do. What is the thing? What thing? The open. Oh, god damn it. We got an open. Let's play the open. Today in Twitter.

Okay, so I have two things. He's right. One of them, I don't know how this is going to play on audio, but I saw this video this morning. It's from a beach in Rhode Island. This is the locust one, Rob. And I just wanted you guys to see this and react, because apparently, I don't know if there was some sort of change in the environment or the climate in this beach town in Rhode Island,

but this looks like an Alfred Hitchcock movie as these people are just on the beach, and it is like a blizzard of locusts. Oh, no. And people are freaking out running. So I just wanted you guys to see this real quick before I get to my meat of today in Twitter. Holy shit. Dude, look at that. That's disgusting.

It just looks like a bunch of birds. Yeah, but like a billion of them. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Kids are screaming. Yeah. It looks like the plague. People run through with their Bible. Yeah.

Isn't that like in the Bible? Crazy. Yes, that's like in the Bible. It's the plague. Locusts. Yes. Locusts immediately make me think Bible, for sure. They have that distinction.

I would pass out. You weren't even leaving. That's crazy. A couple people are standing, but other people are covering their heads and running off. It's like getting in people's pina coladas. Peeling them guys in your mouth. Yeah. Locust in my drink.

I would think you'd have to have some in your mouth. Okay, so this other one, the audio does actually hit a little bit as well. Good protein, though. But I wanted you to see. You ever eaten like a bug on purpose? You ever done that? On purpose? Yeah, you know, like if you –

Why? I don't know. You know, like in other countries and stuff, they'll eat crickets. I bet Rob's done that. Other countries? But have you? Yeah. You're just like a jackass stuntman.

No, no, no. I just mean, you know, people, there are definitely parts of the world where they eat locusts as a source of nutrition. Yeah. I've had cricket before. Did you ever have that friend or relative that was like our little cousin?

I lived near three cousins, and the youngest of the three cousins, we would make them eat stuff like a spider. Or like if there was gum on the street. No, I had a brother. We would make him do it. Would you make your brother do that? Oh, yeah.

You would just do it? Yeah. Because he wants to impress you? Yeah. Gross. Yeah. Okay, so this one is for, this is a political ad. This guy named Bill Igle.

He is running, I guess, in Missouri for a House seat as a Republican. This might be the wildest political ad I've ever seen in my life. So it opens up with Bill Igle. He's standing in front of an American flag. He's got the suit on. And he's very anti-immigration. Spoiler. And next to him...

It's a hot-button issue, Jake. It's what I've heard. Next to him,'s a hot button issue Jake it's what I've heard next to him there is a shorter Latino man wearing just like a button-up shirt and I just want you to watch this and you can describe it I know we can't really stop and start it but it's only 30 seconds this is what okay so just roll this I'm Bill Igoe I'm running for governor to crack down on illegal immigration So just roll this. I'm Bill Ligle. I'm running for governor to crack down on illegal immigration. Él es Bill Ligle y tomará medidas energéticas contra la inmigración ilegal. Okay.

It says translator on this. So he's having this guy who appears to be kind of dressed as like a migrant worker translate. The guy looks sad and beaten. He's like, hey, you know, whatever. Tomaridas energét gas contra la migración illegal no more taxpayer handouts for illegals period nada zilch zero okay nada yeah good use you got less must be narrow no must be established we're throwing them in jail sending them back where they came from. Ay, caramba.

Oh, my gosh. It's time to take Missouri back. Yeah, so at the end, the guy goes full surrender cobra and goes, ay, caramba. Ay, caramba. And he's having him, as he's translating, when he says, when he he says no more free handouts, no more free money for illegals, the guy, like, looks sad and is like, no más fiesta?

Like the party's over? That's the most blatantly racist thing I've seen in a long, long time. Well, that'll certainly hurt his chances then at the poll. No, I mean, I was shocked. Like, he hired this guy to be, like I mean, I was shocked. He hired this guy to be like, sad, I'm about to be deported guy. What does the casting thing say? That guy's a legitimate candidate. Yeah, for sure.

Damn. And he's just like, hey, can you act like you're about to be deported and speak Spanish and act sad because I'm going to send you back to El Salvador? I couldn't believe it, Dan. That's terrible. That's what's in Today and Twitter. All right.

Oh, yeah. There you go. The Dow Jones presents Today and Twitter. I thought you should have a close, too. Thank you. It sounded oddly similar to the open. Being all bitchy about it. More video or are we moving on?

What do you want to do? Yeah, it's up to Blake, but I got plenty of other stuff. I'll probably move on. Or do you want to do that? We have more shows tomorrow. No, I'm just asking. What do you got?

You want me just to move us to the news? I'm not the quarterback here. Yeah, let's go to the news. Okay. Boom. Here's Jay with the gun. Thank you. It's on fire. It's onance. It's on the beard.

There were two more earthquakes Saturday in West Texas, Dan. Okay. Is this all fracking? Yes. Again? Okay.

Yes. These ones were also felt in Dallas-Fort Worth apparently. I never get to feel them. I never feel it either. Everyone's telling me I

felt the earthquake and I never get to feel them. Where was it felt? It says all over Dallas. Huh. Seems like they usually felt in Irving for whatever reason. Like aftershocks. Well, initially, the Irving one was at that Texas Stadium site.

Yeah. There was something weird going on there, but this one county, Scurry County. Blake, I got a buddy who got arrested in Scurry County. Scurry? Yeah. West Texas way. He couldn't scurry away fast enough? Man, I don't know.

Jackrabbits? You're laughing at that? Get her out of here. I'm here to stay. Like I said. Deal with it. You know you want to laugh. Ralph Strangis on Coke.

Julie without alcohol. It's Ralph Strangis on Coke. It's Julie without alcohol. It's unbelievable. So they had 61 earthquakes out in Scurry County, Julie, in seven days. 61? Yeah. Wow. It makes me think we might be playing a little fast and loose with what is an earthquake. Yeah.

Yeah. Rock Falls. You're like, oh, 1.2. Back in my day, people had to die. What's it on the R scale? No. No. I'm not letting you get away with R scale for Richter scale.

The Richter scale. I don't think so, bub. He's just going to be speaking in full letters soon. Yes. You don't know me. So I'm reading a book to my son. This has to do with earthquakes. Okay.

And this happened to me just last night because you're talking about back in the day when the earthquakes killed people and that's how you could quantify it as an earthquake it's like an i survived series is what it's called and it's about these like big catastrophic moments in history from a kid's perspective and i start reading the book like the first just like a bedtime story yeah like hey uh I was in the Holocaust. I thought... It was the morning of September 11th.

That's seriously what it is. It was take your son to work day. He wanted to order these books. NASDAQ. And you'll learn, anytime they want to read a book or buy a book, you get excited and you're like, yes, I want you to read. So I will buy you whatever book because I want you to read

and not want to go stare at your screen or whatever. Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible? Well, probably not that. I probably wouldn't do that. But I'm trying to get him on chapter books because he's old enough to. How old is he? He's nine.

Okay, yeah. It seems like he was old enough to five years ago, but go ahead. Oh, wow. Okay. Damn, wow. Okay. Damn, dude. Am I wrong? I don't know. Chapter books?

I don't know. At four? I actually don't know. I don't know, Julie. They don't do that. They're just learning to read at four. I think you're a great mom. Yeah, you're the best.

Well, you know, we're like- You don't get the point now. You're the best with your 9-11 book. Thanks. We're approaching the school year very quick, and this is when moms start to be like, okay, start reading. Start writing. Let's pretend like we've been practicing all summer. A what i'm doing okay if i'm being honest yeah the

teachers all want you to do that they tell you at the end of the year and they give you packets nowadays they'll give you like a website go to this website it'll tell you what you should be doing with your kid at this age yes yes okay and then it's the end of the summer and i'm like oh crap we haven't done any of this so i'm trying trying to get him to read. You've been so busy at the club. We've been partying so hard. Golf camp. So I'm trying to get him to read. I'm trying to defend my choice of letting him read this book. Yes. So last night I'm like, okay, what chapter book do you want to start? And he's like, how about this one? We bought it at the book fair and we haven't opened it. And that was a long time ago. So I'm like, okay, what chapter book do you want to start? And he's like, how about this one? We bought it at the book fair, and we haven't opened it,

and that was a long time ago. So I'm like, okay, who wants to read this? I survived the San Francisco earthquake of whenever the big giant one was. Anyway, we start reading it. What do you think, Rob? 40s? Oh, I thought. No, during the World Series, right?

The 90s? No, it was in the 40s-ish. There was one back then that killed, yeah. That's the one. So I'm reading it, and it's like the perspective of an 11-year-old boy, and it's, you know, he's in his house, and he's kind of talking about...

All these gay dudes are running around, and they're really upset. 1906. Way back then. You think the 40s? Gay people didn't exist in the 40s, right? It was actually 1906, I want to say. 1906. But yes, of course.

But they kept it hidden. I don't think they were just gay guys running around being gay in the 40s and freaking people out or whatever you said. How did we start talking about this? I thought the Democrats invented gay. Just because of these earthquakes in West Texas? So how did your son take it? Okay, so I start reading it.

I'm trying to get there. He keeps doing this, not me. I know, man. What's up with him? I'm trying to read him a little bedtime story. I'm excited that he wants to read. And like the first chapter we get through and basically this lead character,

who's an 11-year-old boy, gets buried alive. Buried alive. Well, how did he tell the story then? Well, he was telling it the story then? Yeah. He was telling it from his perspective. So it's like all of a sudden the earthquake. Now all of a sudden it ends mid-sentence.

The earthquake stops and he's like. Ten more blank pages. It's like, you know, I was hit by a brick and then I was hit by this. And then I started getting, I couldn't breathe. Good God. I'm laying there reading to my son. I'm like, this is terrible. It's one of the things that you don't think about with parenting or whatever

when you come across these instances with your child and you're in the middle of a book. And I had to finish my sentence when I saw what it was going to be. Like, you can't stop down and not finish your sentence. I lie all the time. Yeah, just start making it up. I lie about what's in it. He can read, though.

No. That's the problem. I skipped over a few things because we kept going. I was like, I got to give this context. I can't get to. And then he was buried alive. Good night, buddy. I'll see you in the morning.

So we kept reading another chapter in to try and give it context. Is that the funeral? That's when I started omitting. Because anyways, that's when I started omitting things. And he was calling me out. Like, mom, why'd you skip those words? Why'd you skip that sentence? I'm like, because this is a terrible story,

but I was in too deep to the story. I couldn't quit. It was a big conundrum. And there's my earthquake story. You guys gonna cover the Gaza Strip tonight? Or what's on the docket? Titanic is up next. Good grief.

But it's a cool way for them to learn about history. But yeah, it was a little much. So we had some earthquakes. A commission in North Texas, Dan, I know you love these. There's a commission, a committee. A commission is forming a committee of business and community leaders. They will be looking into issues related to resorts

and casino gambling, pushing for legalization during the 2025 legislative session. Okay, so we now own a business, as you know, right? At least partly, somewhat. We're in business. We're learning about business, quarterly taxes. That's fun.

I should be doing that. Would a committee ever choose us to be on their business and community leaders committee? Absolutely not. Like, I'm a business leader. See, the guy who typically hears us talk business is the guy who's laughing the loudest right now. Jeez. In the background. That's like the hardest he's laughed all day was the concept of us being anywhere near business decisions.

A business leader. No. No, I'm not even a business leader. One of the leaders in our community. Follower, leader. No. No, I'm not even a business. One of the leaders in our community. Follower, minion. No. No. I don't think so.

I'm out there, though. If anybody wants someone to join their committee, just to give this perspective, hit me up. I want to say something. HMU. I want to compliment my partner, okay? I started this story roughly 90 seconds ago. He's used the word. I used the seconds ago. He's used the word,

I used the word twice, he's used it three times. I thought of how tiny it is. We've used the word committee five times and at no point has he said, is it a small committee? How small? It's incredibly small. Are you aware of that, Julie? I don't think so.

The size of the committee? No. See, he was jonesing. It's not large. I had to let him do it. It's very tiny. How tiny? Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just clicked. Yeah. We still do that? No, we don't. He does.

There's one man alive keeping the itty-bitty committee itty-bitty-titty committee alive, and it's him. He's the only one. Doing the Lord's work over here. That works the word bit and tit into it. And that's what we're all about. Dan and Julie, bits and tits.

Jeez. Still so shocking. Weekdays at 9. Okay. Can we do an everyday bits and tits? Probably just once a week. Sands, which is, of course, the... Yeah, we don't want to oversaturate the doing everyday bits and tits? Probably just once a week. Sands, which is of course the... Yeah, we don't want to oversaturate the world with bits and tits.

Sands is the owner of the Mavericks now, basically. You know, the Miriam Adelson lady that I told you about? Yeah. Her son, Patrick Dumont. Yeah. Son of all is the controlling owner. They have hired 76 lobbyists and spent almost $7 million

in the last couple years lobbying the state legislation to get this done. And that means they will. $7 million? I think there's probably an amount you can, like a certain amount you can spend, probably. But yeah, it's... Within two years, there will be a casino, at least under construction,

in the heart of DFW. It's kind of awesome. Probably more than one. And this is what we figured would happen, but they're really making it happen. How's that going to affect traffic? What? I mean, probably not going to help. Oh, by the way, you would have been very happy.

He's already stressed about the traffic from two years from now. Yeah. I like to plan ahead. When I went to that comedy show on Friday, Dan, you would have been pleased. Big time progress on that entrance into Fort Worth downtown situation. Really? With all the orange barrels? You know how it's been terrible for like 18 years?

Yeah. They've done some work. Really? But I would say traffic is probably not going to be improved by putting a resort destination casino in the middle of town. It's at that Irving area, right? It could possibly be

across from the AAC. There's some land they own back there. Were you with me when someone was telling us that Jerry Jones has bought a lot of land around Waxahachie? Yeah. I wasn't with you, but I've heard that before. Yeah, when we were down there? Yeah, when we did a show down there. Tom, but I've heard that before. Yeah, when we were down there?

Yeah, when we did a show down there. Tom, I think, told us that. Well, I think this will be cool. Down for a big Dallas resort. You want to have a big casino? No, you won't think that when it's here. I think stuff like that is cool. It's good for our city.

What? Is it? How is that good for the city? Stuff to do. Tourism. People come in here instead of us having to fly to Vegas every time we want something like that. I don't know. It's just an opinion. Don't you fly to Vegas though also for the

because you're not going to run into anybody that you know like you want to be away. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That whole thing. I don't know. like you want to be away. Yeah. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Yeah. That whole thing. Yeah, I don't know. It seems weird.

If I were just someone who lived somewhere else and I had the option of flying to go to a casino, like why would I want to go to Irving? Is there already a casino slash sporting facility? Does that exist? No, not really. Because this could be the first ever, like there's going to be

an NBA arena... That might happen. ...inside the casino, basically. Yeah. Yes. You know that's going to happen. You'll have to walk through the casino to get to your...

They probably will have a way where you can go around it, but yes, I do think we're... That's right, because kids. Yeah. Inside 10 years, you've got an arena, a hotel, and a casino

all on one site. And it'll probably happen here first. I know. But don't go buying any marijuana. No. Ah. I know. I haven't been to a Golden Knights game, but I know it's like you can gamble.

It's not in the casino. They don't play in the middle of a casino, but you can gamble all around the game. It's near casinos. And apparently the vibe is just totally insane and awesome. It is. We went. Like you could do slots and whatever, or just like they have actual slot machines in the concourse?

I don't recall. I think so, maybe, actually. I didn't go to a Vegas game, did I? You did. You did. I don't go to a Vegas game, did I? You did. You did. I don't remember that. You don't remember the whole thing before the game starts? It's like a Vegas show on ice.

They have dancers and stuff. Yeah, they got a guy. It's like Medieval Times on ice. How could you forget this? Did I like it? I don't know. Was I fired up? It was really, really cool.

Okay. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Yeah, I'm glad Jake remembers stuff for me. Yeah. Did you guys see this story about this drug trafficker in El Paso that got arrested? His name is Ishmael Zimbada. He is the son of El Chapo. Oh.

And he goes by El Mayo. Sweet. Or probably, yeah, El Mayo. And he goes by El Mayo. Sweet. Or probably, yeah, El Mayo. So he got on a plane. Mayonnaise? It's hard. Yeah, I mean, I think El Mayo, like I would constantly be thinking mayonnaise when I talk to you. And that's not that intimidating.

No. That's what you think of when you talk to me. So they somehow convinced, I guess they tricked him into getting on a plane thinking that he was headed one place. And, you know, it's like a private plane. And the pilot took him to El Paso and landed where he was promptly arrested. I think that would be a really cool job, like, to bait criminal part, but not the part where you actually have to maybe get shot and get your head cut off by the cartel.

Yeah, like that pilot man. Doing little tricks. Oh, yeah, no. That guy has to be in witness protection, or they just had so much on him, right? That's why he did it? Yeah, maybe. I've seen it on TV. Reminds me of us being in court. What part?

When they took a break so we could eat our little sandwiches and then they sentenced a guy to X amount of years for drug trafficking. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that judge was busy that day. He had been working on, I swear to God,

this is the funniest thing that's probably ever happened to me in hindsight, is that we're sitting there talking about the podcast and they're playing audio of me and Dan dicking around. And then they let us go for lunch in the courtroom. It was so awkward. And then they let us go for lunch. They bring a guy in

who's a, uh, a cartel mule. And he had to do it because otherwise he was going to get probably into some trouble with them. They sentenced him to something like 20 years. And then she's like, alright, we're going to start back up. And I swear to God, we pick back up with, alright, so right now we're on what is a definition of a podcast? Right. And I'm like, what just happened? Seemed to pale in comparison.

This guy's going away forever. His life is in danger. He's requesting to be put in a certain prison where he thinks he's safer. And then we're just like, but we're behind a paywall. This is the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen in my life. I was like, what are we doing here? Let's see.

Do I have anything else I want to tell you guys about? Oh, one quick thing. Don't know why I left. Uh-oh, you left. On the record. We, I was going to bring this up earlier. We were talking about Celine Dion. Were you guys aware of stiff person syndrome?

I mean, what? She made me aware of it. Did she talk about it? She's talked about it in the past. She's had it for a couple of years. Yeah. So I remember the first time I heard about it, it's talked about it in the past. She's had it for a couple of years. Yeah. So I remember the first time I heard about it, it was like, what in the world? And it's just like it sounds.

Yeah. Go on. I guess it's just like a nerve. You know, you have chronic pain. You become less mobile. You can't, like, you have spasms. You can't, you know, move your back in certain ways. You're stiff. Yeah, you're spasms. You can't, you know, move your back in certain ways. You're stiff.

Yeah, you're kind of a stiff person anyways, though, so I don't really know if I'd notice. Yeah. You can't wake up before 8. It's a very specific. It attacks that part of the nerve system. I thought it was such a stiff person syndrome. You can't get up before 8 and you cannot resist an itty-bitty committee.

Right. Joke at all costs. It sounds terrible, but it also sounds hilarious. Let's be honest. That's all it means? It means you're kind of stiff? Yeah, it's pain because you can't release tension in your nerves and you can't move in certain directions,

so you're going to get sore. If you couldn't move in certain ways. So you just have to sit. Yeah, or... Boy, that sounds like the greatest disease. Don't say that. You're not allowed to go anywhere. I think...

I can't go, guys. I just assumed this was like a... Got the whole stiff person thing. I just assumed this was like a... You know how there's diseases? Like what is Lou Gehrig's disease? ALS, right?

Okay, so I just assumed that there was a better name for stiff man syndrome. I just assumed that was like the parlance of the layman. It's not. It's SPS. Really? That's what the doctors named it?

Yes. They don't have like a medical name for it that is hard to pronounce or something. Yeah. They're just like, man, this guy is stiff. They need LeBron. I know what we'll call it. They need LeBron to get it. Be the LeBron James disease or something.

They need someone famous to get it. Yeah. Well, Celine Dion's pretty famous. The Celine Dion. Yeah. Go through a pretty famous. The Celine Dion. Yeah. Go through a little PR makeover now. They didn't rename Parkinson's back to the future or anything. Yeah, that's a good point.

Under treatment, it says no evidence-based treatment has been found for SPS, which is a boo, right? Yep. We can't figure out how to stop it. But then it says nor have any controlled trials of treatment for the condition been conducted. Could still be hope. I'm just going to let all these people be stiff and not even try to help. There's no hope. But we also haven't tried yet. So there might be hope.

The Dumb Zone News. Got his ass. Like and subscribe. The Dumb Zone presents... Oh, wait. That woman has a hat on that says Chappie. I love it. What the hell?

I can't stop looking at it. She has a Chappie hat? Yeah. I didn't even know we had that. I swear to God, though, if I got one of those, my dad would wear it. Are they for sale? Did Raymond get that?

Because Raymond will hear us say something and then they'll be. Did you have it made? Oh, your neighbor already had it. My dad has a Chappie license plate. Chappie license plate. From Chappiquiddick, she said. Oh, okay. You know, Ted Kennedy once killed a lady there.

Kemp spin. It's true. So you're proving you can Kemp spin a city. Here's the thing. After he did it, they got him out of the government, and he was not a senator for another... Actually, no. They reelected him like seven more times, if not more.

After the murder? Yeah. But. I'm learning something new. You know, they did say that's what held him back from the White House. I do know that. Like, he'll never be president because of that. Yeah.

But we're still going to make him like the senior senator for one of the bigger states. Yeah. And he's on all the committees, no matter what size. He was a big part of it. Yeah. And he's on all the committees no matter what size. He was a big part of it. Yeah. Uh-huh. So today is Monday, July 29th, everyone.

Six days from now, we'll be on an RV. Six days from now at 8 a.m. 7 a.m. Eastern time. I always go by Eastern time, so I'm on board with what Rob said. I've never known someone so scared of 7 a.m.

7 a.m. Eastern Time is 6 o'clock Central, though. Yeah, do you want to leave two hours early? Oh, wait. Damn it. Thought you were slick, huh? On this day in 1981, Britain's Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer in a ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. So I was a little kid at this point, and I remember this was a thing where people were waking up at whatever way before 8 a.m. to watch this. Yeah.

And I did not understand why. Still don't understand it. But they ended up living happily ever after, a wonderful relationship. Actually, Dan, he was carrying on multiple affairs. And then she died in a car crash. I like Dan's version better. On this day in 1986, a federal jury

in New York found the NFL did commit an antitrust violation against the rival United States Football League. The jury ordered the NFL to pay $3 to the USFL. So they won.

That's a yay. But at what cost? Yes, and then they got the boot. Was Trump involved in that part? Yes. The Jeff Perlman book on the USFL is very good. And it does detail how Trump kind of came in. It was designed to be a spring football league and spring football only

because they just said, we just wouldn't be able to compete in the fall for sure, not with the NFL. And then you also have college football. But there is an insatiable appetite. Like even back in the 80s they knew in the uh this country needs more football so what if we had a spring professional league and they just wanted to be that and trump came in and convinced enough of the other owners we should be going head to head against the nfl now in jeff perlman's telling of it trump had been

turned down a couple of times previously he had tried to buy nfl franchises yeah but it's a very exclusive uh old boys club and they can deny you for any reason they want and they just didn't feel that uh his ilk should be along with the maras and the Roonies and the old stodgy guys. Yeah. No, it's a popular thing to say online, but had they just let him buy the bills, none of this would have happened. Yeah, possibly. And, yes, so then he got into the USFL,

and then apparently his vision was just like the AFL did with the NFL. Hey, we're going to compete. We're going to try signing players that they want and all that. We're going to go head-to-head against them, and eventually they will absorb us, and I'll be an NFL owner. Didn't work out that way. That was the theory, yeah. And so they did all the competing, went head-to-head and all

that, but then it just became too rich for the blood of all the other owners. We can't afford to do this. We're not making the money the NFL is. So we can't. But they were drafting, you know, Steve Young signed him to a 10-year contract

at $1 million a year. But back then, that was a huge deal. Anyway, where am I? Today in history. On this day in 1940, a guy named John Sigmund of St. Louis, Missouri, completed a 292-mile swim down the Mississippi River. Damn. Was there poop in it?

Probably lots. It took him 89 hours and 48 minutes. I mean, all the animals poop in there all the time, right? 89 hours. That's true. So does that mean he got out and rested and stuff? That's weak. Took a nap.

I wouldn't do that. If I was going to swim the Mississippi River. You won't even get on an RV at 7 a.m. He's right. He's right. On this day in 1936, the Boston Red Sox became the first baseball team to fly from one city to another. They went from St. Louis to Chicago. Five players refused to do so, so they took the train instead.

I would have been in six. Like back in 1936, you're like, really? Okay, it flies? It's totally safe? Wow. I don't think so. I'll see you guys at the train station. And on this day in 1991, Jose Canseco playing for the A's

was pelted by debris from Yankee fans because in the early morning, the paparazzi took photos of him leaving Madonna's apartment. So Jose Canseco was hooking up with Madonna. And so why was everybody mad at him about it? I don't know. Yeah, it seems like I would have been like, high five. Good job.

Yeah. Thumbs up. Other famous weddings on this date besides Prince Charles and Lady Di are kind of the Prince Charles and Lady Di of my generation. In the year 2000, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married on this day.

That one didn't last either. She would go on to... Co-star. Co-star, yes. She's not just the star, but a great show called The Morning Show on Apple TV. You ever watch that? Yep. Was there a doubt that Julie had seen that?

No. Did they have a portmanteau, like a name, like Bennifer or something? Did they have a... Aniston and Pitt? Yeah, I don't know. Has Reese Witherspoon ever been in anything that you haven't seen? Yeah. There was this one, I was getting a blowout the other day, and a movie popped on that she was in.

You know, that's a thing, by the way, Dan. It's a hair thing. It's a hair thing. I was getting a blowout. Okay. It was before a wedding. I don't normally do that. I don't want to get a blowout.

I was trying to. That's Brazilian. I had to go to a wedding, and I wanted to look nice. Oh, how was the wedding? It was good. Do you know she went to Jamie's wedding at the place where I'm going after camp? Jamie who? Jamie Bitt. Oh, okay where I'm going after camp. Jamie who?

Jamie Bitt. I do. Excuse me? I promise to love and to... Wait, what? Don't do this. Can you speak up? I can't sign off on this unless I hear you say I do. No, I do.

Now you've got to move your mouth. Well, that eliminates the other question I had. Was it a dry wedding? There's absolutely no way. No. People don't have dry weddings. No. That is like a one in a million thing.

Really? Yeah. No, I think y'all. It was. That is like a one in a million thing. Really? Yeah. No, I think y'all... It was not a dry wedding. Go to the church crowd. It was a very wet wedding. Blake is familiar with dry weddings. Well, interestingly, I'm familiar with his wedding.

You know what I mean? And you're not. There was a lot of booze. God damn it. I got an ace in the hole, bud. Are you done with your story? Well, the point was is that there was a Reese Witherspoon movie

on at the place that I didn't know. And that's my story. But she like hooks up with like a, she's a mom of two and she goes out on her birthday and gets all crazy

and hooks up with some young dude. And she had like a wild night and then the young dude, it's all about her falling in love with the young guy. That was the one Reese Witherspoon movie I think I haven't seen before. That sounds awesome. Is this the election?

Yes. Divorce on this day in history. In 2016, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett. That's tough. And they say that he divorced her after he realized she had nothing. Yeah, did she get to keep half of his funny? Today's birthdays.

Cowboys quarterback Rain Dakota Prescott is 31. Wow. Wow. Did you guys know that? Rain. Wow, I did not know that. Yes, Dakota Prescott is 31. Wow. Did you guys know that? No. Wow. I did not know that. Yes, his real name is Rain. R-A-Y-N-E. I think they're partying at training camp. They're doing some kind of gay thing with cake, right? They're doing

some kind of... Oh, was that the cake that Isaac Alarcon wanted? Yeah. I want cake. I want cake. Are they going to do a pie to his face? If you remember, this was on Hard Knocks once because Zeke's birthday was a week ago today. Remember they were trying to out-gift each other and Zeke was trying to wrap a package. Yes.

A callback. Which was the most I have ever related to Ezekiel Elliott. He was completely confused. Gift wrapping is tough. Dude, I pay for it now. Harder than you think it is. I pay for it. I don't even take it out of the Amazon box.

What do you mean? You give them the Amazon box? Yeah, it comes pre-wrapped. There you go. But in that big green bag though, right? You buy the gift wrap from Amazon? No. You give them an Amazon box

for a present? Come on, Blake. That's pretty pathetic. You guys take it out of the box to put it in another box? Now that's weird. I at least wrap the box. Even that would be bad. It comes in this nice brown color. Oh gosh.

I take it to Hallmark. It's like two bucks a package. Really? Yeah. These are the pros. They got the best. I didn't know that. I was thinking like the toy store or whatever, the local toy store, they would have a wrapping thing. But yes, there's nothing better

than that. How's Hallmark's stores doing? Probably something better than that. I can't be doing well. I think the movies might have saved the entire franchise. I think they're all going out of business because my wife always comes home with, she's like, oh, I saw a Hallmark. She'll buy like, oh, yeah, I'll need these next

Arbor Day or whatever. I'm like, no, you're not going to need that ever. It feels like I was at Hallmark a lot as a kid. Yeah, same. Weird. Do you give a kid. Yeah. Same. Weird. Do you give cards now? Yeah. Yeah.

You give a nice little card in your Amazon box present. Get the kid to write their version of what they think their name looks like. You know. Yeah. Oh, that's always a good one. That's cute. Or if you forget a present, just have your kid draw a picture. They can't be unhappy. I did my dog's paw in ink.

When I have the dog... No, I don't. We've made fun of those people before. We did a dog paw in the clay. Was it after your dog passed away? Yeah, he took a dead dog. Y'all laugh, but I... He took a dead dog. Y'all laugh, but I... He took a dead dog to a pottery place

and was just like... Y'all laugh, but they do that. It's rotting. I have a paw print from Blueberry after she died. You took a dead cat. I didn't do it. The place where we took the body did it.

Okay, that's a little less weird than if you... No, it's not. You had to give him a dead cat. Did they just shove its head in there? Like, here's a little less weird than if you... No, it's not. You had to give him a dead cat. Did they just shove its head in there? Like, here's a... I didn't watch. A mold of its face. You got to turn it.

No, it's the paw. It's up on our mantle. It's Blueberry's paw print. Oh, man. Walk in there, they're like, what's that smell? Like, still a couple of hairs in it. It helps with the pain, okay?

Yeah. I just remember the day your cat died, and Dan was like, he was over there. He was like, Blueberry? That's a stupid name. Or was. You were not sensitive to the death of Blueberry.

I showed up for work. I'll have you know. Oh, man. I fought through my tears. I just always think I'm the wrong guy if you want someone to be sensitive to your, like, oh, something bad happened. I didn't like it. Like, you shouldn't even tell me about it.

I wasn't dying for you to be sensitive about it, but you didn't have to be completely insensitive. Your computer went off again. What is your, how much do you have it on? What's the rotation? I have no clue. Okay, you're a lady. I've never set it to anything.

You're a lady. It's factory settings. Yes. That's why you're, it's, your browser is so small. Look at how little the. I'm trying not to look. Like. Whatever she has going on over there.

Why are all ladies the exact same? Is that better? That's kind of better. And you're right. She has a Windows thing on a Mac. I do. Why? Because this is how it came.

What the fuck? From the place where... There was a day where she got the computer that she didn't want to learn a new operating system. So she just stuck with Windows. I can't tell you all the real reason. I'll tell you off the air. All right. Uh-oh.

There's a story. It's a sex thing. There's a story. Former Ranger... Sex thing. What could that be? What could that deal with? Anyways, former Ranger.

I don't know what Bully is, but I do know it was... Oh, Bully is gnarly. What's his name? Tyson Chandler, I think, took his wife to Bully on their first date. Do you remember that story? No, that's Belly. Belly? Are you serious?

And I think his story was, yeah, you know, it's a pretty, Belly's pretty gnarly. They both are pretty gnarly, really, but it's not exactly a rom-com. First date movie. I guess you need to know what you're working with, though. Ken Burns is 71. Geddy Lee is 71. Is that Rush? Rush.

Jake Smollett is 35. Empire Brother? Jussie's Brother. Actor Will Wheaton is 52. Why do I's Brother actor Will Wheaton is 52 what do I know him Will Wheaton Stand By Me

It's awesome. Okay. Do that for me, Blake, will you? And then I have a Kemp Spin on this name. Okay. Allison Mack is 42. It says she's a Smallville actress. It says she's a Smallville actress.

Now, it doesn't say Kempspin, but there's something listed that looks like a Kempspin. I don't know. You ever heard of her? She's on the list. Oh, so Jake has brought it up. Yeah. And now look who can't remember something.

Oh, perfect memory guy. Yeah, that's what I'm always saying. Oh, okay. Yeah, when we talked about the cult, right? She was like in that sex cult. Yes. The Nix... Says here arrested for sex trafficking. Yeah, it was like that NXIVM or something.

It was a sex cult, and they arrested a bunch of people, and they were selling people for sex. Sweet. Were you into Smallville? No. Our buddy Brevig was, like, obsessed with that show. I heard it was good. I never really understood it.

Was it on the WB? I think I tried it, like, once, and I was like... It was. Yeah, it's very WB. WB show. Very WB. Yeah. I hated all that stuff.

You hate everything Superman, right? Buffy. Pretty much everything that was out. Oh, any WB thing? Yeah, I wasn't into. I mean, there were a couple like early on, but like the mystical nature of all of it was just like, what is this? That was One Tree Hill.

Bullish. Angel. Uh-huh. Oh, Angel. The spinoff of Buffy. Yep. Because Angel was hot back in the day. Dawson's Creek.

You were into that. You had to be into that. The only reason you watch Dawson's Creek is to possibly secure yourself a handy. Oh, okay. All right. And everyone in here knows I'm right. Yeah, you're a little bit older. So the point is I never watched

Dots of Scream. At least he's honest. What was my, oh, Desperate Housewives was mine. Yeah. That was big when that came out. What was big? Desperate Housewives. No, just the show you'd watch with your high school girlfriend. Eve Longoria. Everyone thought What was big? Panties? Desperate Housewives. No, just the show you'd watch with your

high school girlfriend. Just the show. Eve Longoria. Everyone thought she was so hot. Yeah. Yeah. What else?

Born on the state now dead, Captain Lou Albano. Says he a wrestler? Yeah. I thought you'd get all fired up when I said that.

You didn't. I'm from the attitude era. Clara Bowell. B-O-W, maybe Bow. She was like the original It Girl. It says sex symbol in the 1920s. They must have been desperate, bro. What's her name? Clara Bow, B-O-W.

They must have been desperate, bro. This counts as the, you know. Top of their eyes. Is that how hot a woman could get if indeed there was no cosmetic surgery? Oh, interesting. Like the level of hotness has just escalated that much because of all of the help women can get now? Right. Do you think genetics are better now

because people in the past have had surgery? Walter Hunt. He makes a good point. He makes a good point. Was that your point? Walter Hunt, born on this day now, the inventor of the sewing machine and the safety pin.

That's pretty solid. Yeah. And. That's pretty solid. Yeah. And That'd be cool if you invented the safety pin. Except for life. And Tony Sirico. That's Pauly Walnuts. This is his birthday.

Died on this day, still dead. You have Mama Cass Elliot from the Mamas and the Papas who I think I've always heard died eating a ham sandwich. That's definitely not true. Maybe on the toilet, but I don't know. I think she was all fat and stuff.

She was a large woman at that age. What's better? Clara Bao or Mama Cass Elliott? Which one would you, Julie? I wouldn't either. Well, let's say you had to, though, to save the lives of your kids. Which one I think is more attractive. To save the lives of your kids, you have to scissor one of them.

You're saving the... Okay, you don't want to save the life of your kid. Great. What did you just do to me? You can't do that. Go home and read them another Faces of Death book. My kids cannot be involved in this conversation. Also died on this day still dead, Vincent Van Gogh.

Now, when do you think Vincent Van Gogh died? This has to be a trick question. No, I don't think it. No, but he knows we're going to think of Picasso dying in like the 80s. Yeah. Give me a 10-year window. 10 years? How about 100 years?

I'll give you 10 on either side of his death day. Okay. I'm going to go with Vincent Van Gogh. I'm going to say 1610. What? I was going to go with... Vincent van Gogh. I'm going to say 1610. What? I was going to go with 1650. Now, Vincent van Gogh committed suicide. He also cut his own ear off, right?

Cut his own ear off. Made it to abroad. That was this version. I saw a lot of Vincent van Gogh stuff in Amsterdam. That was the stand-by me of his time. Right. You don't hold a boombox. You just cut your ear off. I think there's a van gogh museum is in amsterdam yeah because he uh was stoked on amsterdam or he was from there or something anyway we killed uh uh some time there so he

died at the age of 37. had he lived like a normal i guess guess, 60, 80-year life, Vincent Van Gogh would have been able to watch Babe Ruth. No. At 60 home runs. He died in 1890. Damn. Are you serious? I was going to guess 1900.

Oh, after the fact. No, I was. I was going to. I did it because I felt like I was so far off whenever y'all said yours. I was like, I'm not saying a word because I believed y'all would be closer. But I was actually close. And that was today in history. You want to know how many times I've heard a lady say, I was actually close?

Thank you, folks. Most. Yes, if they're lying, they say they were close. You're doing so good, little buddy. Is Jay gone? I was going to get some close. His stuff is right there.

He's right there. Is he? Yeah, he's chilling by the pizza ovens. Back there. He's whipping the pizza. Oh, Jay Jarrier is actually, he actually gets in the trenches. That's right. Like, he's like, did you see the pictures of Jim Harbaugh?

Pulling a sled? Yeah, pulling a sled. Yeah. Yeah, he's out there. He's like 60 years old, but he's doing the drills. Great. Because you used to monitor his press conferences at Michigan, and they're getting a load of his press conferences now

at Chargers training camp. Should I get back on that? You might want to. He's a little weird guy. Well, if we can get Jay over here, we can do some pleasing remarks. But, yeah, maybe he's over there like smashing up a, smashing the pizza oven. So he gave us a gift here.

Jay, of course, is the owner of Zoli's and Cane Rosso. And today, us, he's kind of our owner. Yeah, sure. We're going to do what he says. Oh, here he is. Jay Jerry. How's it going, man? Good. I have nothing.

I'm no good. Well, you brought us something. Oh, yeah. I did. You gave us something. I did. I thought we'd open it on the air. Yeah, I pulled off one end for you.

Okay, yeah. And I'm still not able to do so. Here, you want to pull this out, Julie? You might know how many girls I've asked. Oh, my gosh. Dude, this is... Just tip it upside down. He is on fire.

I want Dan to hold up the sign with the 100 the day after the show. As a kick-ass? Yeah. Are you saying today's program was not good? I'm saying you were the MVP. I think I know what this could be. What do we got here? I know this should be a Dan favorite.

Yep. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I saw this at Cane Rosso. In Lake Highlands. In Lake Highlands. You had a grand opening.

You had like a friends and family event. I did. To preview it. And I guess that's like to make sure. Yeah, just to test out the server. Got your shit together. Test out the ovens, all that kind of good stuff. Easily the most stressful episode of The Bear.

Yes. The Bear is almost entirely accurate for the restaurant industry, except there's a lot more drugs and... In real life. Yeah, in real life, and staff sleeping with each other. Oh, wow. And the most unrealistic thing about The Bear is that people show up to work.

Dude, a lot of hookups when I worked at the restaurant. Yeah, and I mean my buddies who worked there. That's where I met the 33-year-old lady when I was 19. There's definitely some nose supplements. Not for me. Anyway, so at the Cane Rosso, so I went to the event. I saw Jay there, and I'm like, where'd you get that picture? He had this picture on the wall.

I'm like, man, I would love to have something like that. Like, dropping the hint. I mean, I'm not saying you're a guy. Heard you loud and clear. Yeah. And so I said, man, that would look great in our studio. And you know why I'd love it? For Jake.

Yeah, that's what you said. Because this combines a couple of things that I love and then that Jake loves. And we can put them all together. And so I'm going to open it over this way and I'm just going to turn it around and show you. Are you ready? I'm going to show it to the camera, Jake. Okay. Look at that. Wow. What we're looking at here is a... Where do I go? This way? Yeah. Y'all are fighting each other.

You and the camera. What would you call this? This is an ape. A snow monkey. A snow monkey... Mom. Hugging a baby snow monkey, but the baby snow monkey's face is Nicolas Cage.

This doesn't make any sense. It's amazing. It makes all the sense in the world. It both doesn't make any sense, and it's also the greatest piece of art. We just find things that interest us and throw them on the walls. Jerry Seinfeld with the nunchucks.

I got Run DMC Stormtroopers. Yes. Yeah. So this is my 100. I'm holding this up. This is even better. I love it.

What a great gift. That is a great gift. Yeah, so anyway, Jay, thanks for having us out here, man. Oh, I'd like to have you out at Conner Rosso for the first time, and Al Zoli's too, so this is awesome.

What's the other place? Thunderbird. Thunderbird. It's a little counter service. When are you going to get off your rear end and have us out there? Jesus. It's on the list. But that's just a little counter service place for Detroit style pizza.

It's really good. Yeah. Yeah. They have gluten free there. That is still just as thick as the rest of them. Thick boy. Yeah. Not floppy gluten free pizza.

Jay invented the press box hot... Yeah, that was for you too. What was it? We had a press box hot chicken sandwich on the menu for a while when we first opened. Right. Love those.

Now you're embracing it. Were people like, what is this? It only mattered that a few people did get it. It made my day. I love that. Yeah.

Most of the jokes at our restaurant are only for me and a handful of my friends. That's awesome. Likewise. Most of the jokes on y'all's show. Yeah. Well, good times, man. Thanks again. Any closing remarks?

Yeah. I guess one closing remark is that maybe people don't know know but we actually have a uh we started a charity with our business called conneroso rescue and we actually do dog rescue uh in and around texas louisiana oklahoma and we actually have our own rescue facility in carrollton where we bring in old beat down broken down mostly hunting dogs that have been dumped or just won't hunt or are old. And we get them rehabbed and healthy and adopted out to family. So you can find us on Instagram at ConnieRosaRescue or on Facebook, same thing, or ConnieRosaRescue.org. I mean, I have seven dogs of my own, and that's kind of how it all started. Wow.

Yeah. And Zoli's is actually named after one of my first dogs. And ConnieRosa means red dog because it's also named after our first dog that had red fur so hey dog based business that's awesome that's a messy yard yeah so if anybody yeah it is the poop guy was there this morning so if anybody's looking for a dog guy that means you have a lot of dogs yeah yeah it's like it's more than i can handle. What's a poop guy charge? I don't even know. Okay.

No, it's just like... Like the long guy? It's like whatever. It's all baked in. All baked in. Yeah. All right. That's good.

Well, thanks. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. Jay Jarrett, everybody. Yeah. Good times. Adios, mofo. Adios, mofo.
