The Dunza, Dunza, Dunza. You folks see that flashing sign up there? Now, that sign says applesauce. No, no. I'm kidding. It says applause. Ray, do me a favor. Could you flick that once? All right.

Now, remember, you're all a big part of the show, so the better you are, the better Larry is. Okay, now, you see this gentleman? Now, he's giving me this sign, and it says, we're on in 10 seconds, so get ready to have a good time. All right, here we go. This is exciting, isn't it? In 5, 4, 3, 2... All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

I never listen. I'm going to listen. I want to listen to the drums. Moment of silence for Gary Brown. I want to listen. Gary Brown, the running back coach? Yeah. It was his birthday just the other day?

Yeah, he's been dead for two years. Got a little weird connection here, Blake. Wasn't like that two seconds ago, was it? Can I blame your new computer? Maybe. He's dead. Alright, sorry about that. Yeah, it's okay.

I'm going to have to go update that. The cowboy family has lost a... great man and did a lot for his country. I'm Dan McDowell. I'm Jake Kemp. I'm Blake Jones. And this is The Dumb Zone, the song would indicate. Been a long time since I've seen you guys.

Great to see you. You too, man. We haven't done a program in a while. Today we broadcast live to tape from high atop my garage on Monday, July 8th. Had an extended July 4th weekend. This is show number 196 of The New Way. That's really all I got. Okay.

We also have a 690 sit-in. We have two people here today. Let me read the email I got. I got this email back in May. That was a long time ago. We're booked, man. Dan! Exclamation point.

That caught my... Yeah. Yeah, sure. Comma. I might have just deleted this thing, but this was an explanation point.

Please let me know the scoop on what to do, how to arrange getting you guys the $6.90 for me and my husband to come to the den in May for his 50th birthday. Wow.

Was this sent in May? May or April. Okay, so you went ahead of time. Yes. And this is the first time we could slide you in? Well, we initially I think scheduled for May and then we had some stupid kid event come up, so we had to reschedule.

You have a stupid kid? We have a couple stupid kids. Yeah. The last time I emailed you was probably four years ago. I was the ticket's favorite lesbian. I was going to say, I have some questions here. Wait a second. What?

So you might be a bit confused by the term, my husband. Yeah. Also, you said I was hot on the air. Damn sure did. We shall discuss in the den. We want to support you guys. Can't think of a better way to do it selfishly by getting on the show while we throw money at your court costs,

Ty Webb, 3,000 on Twitter. There we go. She actually wrote X, but I still say Twitter. I believe they've smoked cigarettes together at some point before. Big shocker. That's true. From Kara. That's me.

Shasta Tamp. Do you want the last name thrown in there or no? Just Kara? Kara's me. Shasta Tamp. Do you want the last name thrown in there or no? Just Kara? Kara's good. Kara, the lesbian who has a... A husband. A male husband. That's a totally normal thing.

Although he may have transitioned to this. Maybe he's a lesbian. That's for the fan to decide. Okay. I know her as a lesbian, so I don't... Same. I'm confused as to what exactly is happening here, but I love it. I do love it.

I believe I... I do know I've interacted with you... Maybe it was, like, behind the bomb factor, somewhere like that. Like, it was, like... Behind. I just saw you out smoking cigarettes. Me? No.

Smoking cigarettes? Am I wrong? That's not cigarettes. Me? No. Smoking cigarettes? Am I wrong? That's not me. Oh, okay. I mean, I might have been smoking something, but it wasn't cigarettes. Okay. Anyway. Meth, probably.

No. Meth. You used to be known as the hot lesbian or just a lesbian. Probably takes you from like a nine to a seven though, right? If she's no longer a lesbian? Let's be honest. Was she lesbian hot? It probably takes you from a nine to a seven, though, right? If she's no longer a lesbian? Let's be honest. Was she lesbian hot, or was she just hot out in the world?

It doesn't hurt. Wait, so I was a nine as a lesbian, and now I'm a seven? I mean, I'm just saying. That's his opinion. You all know what I'm saying. Nobody's disagreeing with me, including the subject. What about husband Ty? That's a good looking man right there.

Yeah, no. I've said that many times. Was she a little hotter before she decided to give it up to you? I'm going to save that for the end of the show. Why do you have to get married?

But what I'm going to say is that... What a waste of time. What the hell, man? I get this question a lot about how could you have flipped her? And I really think it comes down to one of two options, and you guys can decide. Either I'm so incredibly manly that she just couldn't help herself. Yeah.

Yes. Or I'm so close to a female, it felt right. Right. Either way, I'm good with it. Familiarity. Yeah. Yeah. No, that makes sense.

Missed you at Grady the other night, Dan. Grady Spencer? What a guy. Yeah. He gave us a shout out. He did. To the confused. Is this officially the weekend check? Yeah, I think so. Okay. It was a shout out. He did. To the confused. Is this officially the weekend check?

Yeah, I think so. Okay, so was that... It was a big weekend. Okay, yeah. Five days we have to cover, right? Yeah. That was Wednesday night. Okay, so you guys both went?

Yeah. Yeah, that's our normal July 4th fireworks spot anyway. Hearst? Yeah. Yeah. Because that's where my wife's family is from, and she's the one that cares about fireworks. So that's where we went, and yeah.

Saw Grady. Said, in the middle of a new dress, you may have heard this on the international comedy podcast, The Dumb Zone. Okay, nice. And it was met with a very, very tepid response. Like a tumbleweed came flying through. Other than Brother of wired will.

Okay. He responded. That was about it, though. But in my section, no one really looked up or seemed to care. It was cool, though. Yeah, it was cool seeing him. Played for a long time. Did your firework bit?

No. I went to a friend of mine's house who lives very close to where North Richland Hills does their fireworks. And last year they had Big Drone Show. But apparently the guy who is Big Drone Show firework guy is from North Richland Hills and has priced himself out. Like he was on America's Got Talent with his team. So they're back to the basic fireworks? Yeah. Like I guess this guy goes to Vegas or New York or L.A. or Miami or something,

and now we just have – Let's price ourselves out. We're trying. Like you don't want – Seems cool. Kara and Ty in here? I love Kara and Ty. What are you saying?

Thank you. I don't know. Maybe if we found some people that would pay $6,900. Okay. Well, this guy's out. He's no longer repping his hometown. Yeah. So we were just back to regular fireworks.

Which are fine. This is fun. Yeah, what did I do? Fireworks night, I didn't do anything. Third or fourth? No. I did find out on the fourth, it's a great time to go shopping at Central Market. Nobody's there.

Fourth evening, people are barbecuing or doing whatever, cooking out. And that's where I can buy some fish and broccoli to my heart's content. It's great. Yeah. Kind of zip right around there. Let's see. I'll just tell you guys. You guys probably have better stories than me.

So I set up our Airbnb in California. We're officially going. Or at least we at least have to pay half of it if we decide not to go. We're at least on the hook. Yeah, we're on the hook for that. But it looks like a nice location. I don't know if you guys looked at the link that I sent. I've already looked at multiple menus.

For California already? Of course. Okay. Have you looked at the route and like, do we want to stop in Albuquerque? Of course. Our guy, Matt, emailed us a lengthy email. He's already planning the trip. The guy who's going to drive us. He made a

PowerPoint. He did. I think Albuquerque looks like the place to stop, but who knows? We might go nuts. Did you buy a plane ticket yet? There could be something on hold.

Shut up. You're flying back I'm not flying back Yes you are Are you driving back with us? No Okay So you're flying somewhere

And then you're flying home You're flying back is the point We're gonna be down one man You'll have more space How will we even make it home? You know that's gonna be his way out Without Jake's positivity Look we're gonna be down one man. You'll have more space. How will we even make it home? You know, that's going to be his way out. Without Jake's positivity. Look, we're going to be down one man on the way home.

Let's not overload the RV. Why don't I just meet you guys out there? We'll see. Went to the barbershop, got the head shave. Uh-oh. You need to be very careful here. I just want to say this. It's interesting.

You would think if you're a guy who gets his head shaved, if you're a bald, which I am, and nobody here relates to that, but plenty of people listening do. Four different ladies have shaved my head now, and there is actually a distinct difference in each performance. Yeah. And the one I got from Dora this weekend was unbelievable.

I know. It was so good. She's an artist. Now, had to start 20 minutes late because she was so busy making sure the guy's hair that she was cutting was absolutely perfect. I know. I feel like it's like Picasso painting Or Mozart painting, I should say. Right.

Music. Yeah. But barbershop topics. Now, first of all, Dora doesn't talk, so she's great. Not a word. That's a plus. She doesn't say anything until the very end. Not a word.

Barbershop topics included the Paris end. Not a word. Barbershop topics included the Paris Olympics and how they spent a billion dollars to clean up that river. The Seine. Have you heard of that? That's where I stayed, I think, right on the Seine. Yeah, I know. It goes through downtown. And apparently it was just very polluted and it hasn't been cleaned up for centuries.

And they spent a billion dollars just to clean the Seine. And I saw something on the news about this as well, where the people of France are like, yeah, a billion dollars to clean this up. Is that going to be worth it? Is it even going to be clean in the end? Is it going to be safe? And Macron, is that the guy? Macron. The guy who's in charge of France and then-

Married his teacher. Married his teacher. The mayor of Paris as well, both said they would take a swim in the Seine to prove that it was clean. Okay. Well, the mayor has since- Macron didn't put a date on it. He just kind of said he would in hopes everybody forgets about it.

The mayor put a date, and she has since moved it twice. And now it's moved ahead to next week. So I'm going to be following this story to see if the mayor of Paris actually ever swims before, you know, today's Greg Louganis goes in there and gets a parasite in his ear or whatever the hell they're worried about.

So what portion of this did you learn about at the shop? Just the cleanup or did you learn about the committee? Just that they're talking Paris Olympics and it cost a billion dollars. That's all. I didn't learn any of that other stuff. But then the other big topic was shark attacks at Corpus Christi, and the consensus is that the hurricane is pushing the sharks closer to us. The ladies are all discussing this with some of their patrons as well,

and they've decided that that's their thesis right now. Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know that they're wrong. Is that how it works? I don't know. If there's a big hurricane, do all the sharks start swimming closer to land? I know that the thing that we've been talking about is that because they do like these shark tours, right, that they chum water and that the sharks start to associate humans with food in the past they have not right so like they think boat food okay people food when they have not thought that before but

you know it's funny because i was making fun of my mom uh when we were down there uh at the beach this weekend and we were talking about like kristen's half sisters driving up from new orleans because she's gonna fly out there and go to Disneyland with us. And she's like, oh, that's a long way to drive, you know, for a 20 year old girl by herself. You know, I've just seen so many shows. Danger. And I'm like, yeah, well, I mean, don't you think that's a little bit overstated? Like that's the problem is that you are seeing these depictions of this. At the same time, I saw four shark attacks in one day

in Galveston the day we got to the beach, and I was like, I'm not getting in the water. There was four shark attacks? In one day, dude. Not in Galveston, but in South Padre. So you're still in the Gulf. They said it was one shark. Four people in like five hours.

And one of the lady's legs was not all that attached anymore as they were pulling her out of the water. So I'm making fun of my mom because she's overstating the media perception or something, but then, yeah, I'm looking at the ocean and I'm looking at a video of a shark and I'm like, I'm not getting it. I'm just not going to do that today. Yeah, that's probably the way to go.

I don't know, man. It feels like it's happening more. Trump be damned. A lot of shark attacks. Went to the Lawrence Rosales comedy show Saturday night. Nice. Our guy who was in here last week.

Good dude. He was at TK's Comedy Club, which is a really weird little venue. It looks nice. Very strange. Yeah. I did not know what I was walking into. It almost felt like I was driving by. We were driving up to it, and I thought, am I in the wrong place?

Is this like an apartment complex? No, no. Yep. Is this like an apartment complex? No, no. Yep. It's like a high-end eatery slash bar slash, I don't know. Business jeans?

I went with business shorts. Did they let you in? Yeah. Okay. Oh, no. I mean, there was people dressed way under me. Okay. Yeah.

But yeah, I went with my wife, my daughter, and her friend. Oh, cool. And my daughter and her friend, as we were driving around, because we were looking for a place to eat around there, we ended up eating at Flower Child. Don't know if you've ever heard of that. I've not. But apparently there's like four or five of them in Dallas.

Looks like the lesbian has. That's right. Former. Once always? Yes. on but apparently there's like four or five of them in Dallas looks like the lesbian has former once always yes okay yeah you ever think about ladies while you're with Ty yes okay all right oh you're talking to her he's he's thinking of other ladies. Anyway, it was just interesting because these are two 20-year-old girls. So they go to college. But they're also into some TV shows that each other shares an affinity for. And we drove by this one place, and the daughter's friend says well that's funny that's called twin peaks so they love twin peaks okay and she didn't know what it was but my daughter says yeah they're in the back seat i'm just eavesdropping uh she's like yeah it's it's like

hooters and then they're like oh that, that's really funny, really. But it was just interesting to me, I guess, when your daughter learns about... Breast trance? And I suppose you're going to have to deal with this, you know, but as your daughter is four and precious and all that, and then you're thinking, I don't want her to learn about that at all. And then, you know, then you're like, I don't want her to learn about that at all. And then, you know, then you're like, I don't want her to work there. But, you know, maybe, you know, if she's happy, then she's happy.

Yeah. And then my final note from the weekend, I was at Central Market, as I told you. Great time to shop is July 4th, like at 5 p.m. Okay. And I see a guy at Central Market stocking the fruit. is July 4th, like at 5 p.m. Okay? I see a guy at Central Market stocking the fruit as I'm over there in the...

That's why I go there. The fruit, the produce, the fish. Top notch. We go to Kroger for everything else. Or Tom Thumb. He looked exactly like... I mean exactly like Stephen Jones.

Okay. And I got to thinking, if he was born, same person, the way his mind is and every IQ, if he was born as Jerry's son,

would he run the Cowboys someday? Is it all just a matter of circumstance? Like, if Stephen Jones was not born as Jerry's son, but he was born as the guy, this guy may have been poor or something, I don't know, whatever. Regular dude. Would Stephen Jones today,

like, does his skill set actually, would he be stocking Central Market on July 4th? Doesn't he have a legit degree in engineering or something? I mean, how legit can it be? You know? I mean, you got into school. I mean, he went to Arkansas, right? I don't know.

So you're probably a legacy admission. So to an extent, I don't know how legit. I mean, it's tough Arkansas, right? I don't know. So you're probably a legacy admission. So to an extent, I don't know how legit that is. I mean, it's tough to get into Arkansas. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know that the fact that they look similar would have... That triggered that in my head.

Would have triggered that for me or not. What if Stephen Jones was just born to this guy's parents with his same IQ, same everything? Stocking shelves at 60 seems like it would suck. There were a couple people that worked at Albertsons with me. You don't feel great about that. That were old. And I remember thinking, like, man, not good.

Unless they retired early and they just want something to do. Yeah, but if you retire early, I feel like you want to do nothing. Like, when I see, like, a 70-year-old lady checking me out at Tom Thumb, scanning the groceries, not trying to hook up, that makes me sad. That makes me sad. I don't know. I've always thought that I would do something late in life

just to keep active. Yeah, I would love to stock groceries. No, because that just pisses you off. There's something therapeutic about restocking, at least for me, and I think you too, right? Man. Yeah, dishwasher. There's a day where I want to do nothing. Well, you don't have to do it every day.

Just a part-time job. I've always thought about doing that. So my only other weekend note is I went to the Houstonston aquarium on the way to galveston or surfside you ever seen it no so when you drive by either of you two die no okay so when you drive down uh on 45 the the freeway goes past the aquarium and the freeway is like level two i would say the middle height past the aquarium. And the freeway is like level two, I would say, the middle height of the aquarium. So the parking lot is underneath 45. Does that make sense? Like you're driving past it.

So it's sort of iconic. Like I've seen it a million times. It's a scam. It's a scam because of this. It's an amusement park. So you pay $16 to get into the aquarium, and then they have like five other things that you can pay $5 to $10 more for to add on. The aquarium itself, an hour, tops.

Smaller than the Grapevine Mills Aquarium. Definitely smaller than the Dallas Aquarium. But then you can pay for rides, you can pay for the shark feature, you can pay for the... So once they suck you in, your kid is there with you and I have to go on a ride. And it's 105 degrees. So everything

else is outside. The actual aquarium portion of it sucks. We were done in 50 minutes. And then, so all the rides and everything are outside, obviously. Yes, and cost more. And I was like, I'm not doing that. So it's kind of like flying spirit.

Exactly, yeah. You didn't do it? No. And did this cause... No, I mean, actually, it was fortunate because my son, an hour is about all he can handle. So it worked out. But everyone has told me about this Houston Aquarium experience.

Like, oh, you got to go, you got to go, you got to go. They have all this cool stuff. They don't. It's like five different things that you have to pay for individually. And the aquarium sucks. Yeah, it checks out for Houston. Yeah. It sucks.

That's not your only story you said it took you a while to drive back so uh like you got back last night yeah it took us we we stopped for 30 minutes to eat lunch and 10 minutes to go to the bathroom and get gas and the overall drive was seven hours and 50 minutes why hurricane yeah so? Yeah. So are people getting out of, yeah. Has Ted Cruz flown anywhere? I don't know if he's in Cancun yet or not, but yesterday morning it started to hit a little bit. You know, you could see the clouds, you could feel the wind, you could feel the pressure. And I would say for 75% of the drive, we drove 35 miles an hour. Damn. That's frustrating.

And I could not see two cars in front of me. Like that level of torrential downpour. Yeah. And the kid is screaming, I would say, for five hours of that. No iPad? Damn. Nah, I mean. He's not really that type, is he? No, I mean, we didn't have one.

My parents drove my daughter home, and she stayed over there last night. They left a little bit later, but yeah, no, I mean, it was fucking brutal, dude. That sucks. That's stressful. Yeah. I mean, you can't see. Yeah. I mean, you can't see. Yeah. And yeah, it's just, you're driving school zone miles per hour on 45 for four and a half, five hours.

Yeah. It was horrible. Yeah, when I drove up to the mountains in Denver and we had to drive through that blizzard, I mean, it takes it out of you because you were just white-knuckled and you're intensely focused for hours. Afterwards, you're just drained. You're in silence. You want to listen to something funny. Nobody can talk to you.

You can't. Car's telling you to keep your hands on the steering wheel. I'm like, I am! Yeah. I'm doing it. Yeah, it was horrible, dude. What if you asked her for a hinge on the way? Would she have obliged? Honey, I'm doing it Yeah it was horrible dude What if you asked her For a hinge on the way Would she have Obliged

Honey I'm really stressed out here And you're You're recording Why would I be recording I don't know Just for us For your friends You gotta think of your friends

While you're getting a hinge I try to Yeah I don't You know I next time. Maybe I'll ask. Yeah. Maybe next time. When's the last Hange?

Are you asking me? Yeah. I'm not going to answer that question. I feel like that's a thing of the past, but maybe not for everybody. I'm not doing this. Come on. What do you mean, come on? People want to know.

Why don't you make them answer? He used to tell us about what he did with his girlfriends and stuff. Oh, my God. Yeah. That's all I was talking about. Just bragging every Monday morning. Yep. Bro.

I had it from behind. Ate some pussy. Whoa. Yeah, man. Oh, jeez. Yeah, it sucked. But it was actually a – oh, one other thing. yeah it sucked but it was actually uh oh uh one other thing uh so i'm not like fireworks guy i don't really know how they work like i have like roman candles and black cats that's like

the extent of mine but now apparently you just like buy a box are you familiar with this guy no you're a country guy i am a country guy but've never been a firework guy. You just buy a box, and you just light the fuse, and I guess all of the fuses are tied together so that they just sync one to the other. You know what I mean? Okay. Cool. So, on Thursday night, July 4th, my stepdad went down there to the beach. My parents' house is like on...

The beach is a good place for fireworks. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And Galveston had theirs going on pretty far away, but you could still see it. And then there was one outside of Surfside, so it's outside of the city limits. We were able to watch both those.

And then my stepdad went down there and he had bought these two boxes and he just lit one up and they were like real fireworks and that took about 45 seconds before cops. Ah.

Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Well, he's a former cop though. Does that buy him any leeway? That's what I said. Nah, it doesn't really work that way.

But I mean the box is already on fire. Yeah, then what are they going to do? It's like, I don't know. I said. Leeway? Nah, it doesn't really work that way. But, I mean, the box is already on fire. Yeah, then what are they going to do? It's like, I don't know. I mean. Yeah. Sorry, man. I shouldn't have done that. You're right.

Yeah. Shut him down. So Wednesday night, went to Hearst for fireworks. Got her family together because it's also her birthday on July 4th. She's working though. Yeah, so she had to meet us out there. But got her family together, tried to make it a big thing for her

because she loves fireworks on her birthday. And then the next day, I then talked to Grady after the show. He's really cool. I love Grady. Good dude. Played for a couple hours. At least an hour, like 40.

Yeah. Out in the heat. But yeah, I got a little backstory of how he's the only listener of the podcast in the band. Yeah, they're very confused by us. And so when they heard your daughter's just ripping them, they're like, why did you do this? Why would you let them do this?

But then, yeah, next day go to McKinney and had more fireworks on July 4th. The kid loves them. As a kid, I hated fireworks because I didn't like loud noises, but he's super into them. Okay. So the wife and kid are into them. So that makes me have to be into them as well you just wouldn't go you're fine if you didn't go at all yeah yeah but you know i don't know seeing the excitement from him kind of makes you care about it a little bit the whole crowd

thing is a beating it's yeah going to scout out your area sitting there waiting getting out like all for for what what do we do what do we all do here and yeah and uh i take a little bit of pride in that i'm trying to find you know a decent parking lot scoping your way out how close are you to the access road the highway such a dad and so um you'll park you'll back in at certain places perhaps if you're right next to the... Yeah. So I found a... I pulled up the satellite images on my phone to find a nice little trail that led to the park. And so I parked far enough away in a parking lot with easy out. And then you could walk the trail.

And I walked the trail with the cooler and the chairs. Now don't call me a hero. Yeah. I just think I'm doing what any dad would do, carrying the chairs and the cooler. But that scouting mission, though, that's something. That's something, yeah. That's extra.

She doesn't understand what you're going through. No. They never do. So, yeah, back-to-back nights of fireworks. But her birthday week continued. Oh, she's... And I felt like I had to plan some stuff and do stuff for her

and Saturday we went to the rodeo so this goes to Lawrence's bit of guys are romantic which didn't go that well when he was on stage it hit during my show did it? because he got a lot of groans from the ladies

and I thought boy that's a lot of groans from the ladies. And I thought, boy, that's a lot better when you have a room full of guys. Yeah. And you're trying to get on board with it. But he had some ladies yelling from the audience. No way. They were against the romantic bit. Interesting.

Okay. Yeah, it played well at our show. But what did you do? You went to the rodeo because she likes the rodeo? I mean, really, you're just trying to play in anything outside of the house. And if I'm being honest, I found a Groupon. Groupon still kicks? Groupon slaps.

Yeah. I saved a lot of money with the Groupon. The rodeo wanted like 300 bucks for all of our tickets. Groupon, 120. Just the two of you or the whole? No, I took the whole family. Oh, that's not a birthday. What's the whole family?

My, well, it's my side of the family. My parents and my sister, her three kids and her husband. Jesus. Pete. And you're right. It was a mistake. That sounds horrible. But kid was really into it. But kid was really into it.

Wife was really into it. So we got there and it's military appreciation night at the rodeo. It feels like every night at the rodeo. I feel like they really are catering to their audience. Che Guevara night? Communist night? Communist night.

So they do the bit where, you know, if you're in the army, stand up. And they run a horse out there. Lady's carrying an army flag. The guys stand up. You clap, whatever. Next one. Marines. Any former Marines.

Stand up. Clap. Clap. They have a special army flag? Yeah. Just for the army? Yep. Okay. They have a special army flag? Yeah. Just for the army? Yep. Okay.

Marines have a flag. Then it's the Navy. All former Navy stand up. You know, you kind of get it. Do not tell me that they asked for those who were in Space Force to stand up. Next was, let's see. Then it's, oh, Air Force. Uh-huh.

Then it was Coast Guard. Uh-huh. Then it's Air Force. Then it was Coast Guard. Then it was Space Force. And they ran the Space Force flag out there. No one stood up. No one really clapped. But they had the Space Force flag, and it's running around. No one stood up. No one is in the space force no and it was very confusing yeah the people that are at the rodeo for military appreciation appreciation night

don't care about the space force that's fantastic it was pretty great um so then they do their thing you know it's the it was the bareback riding first and then it was the uh oh yeah mutton busting uh then they have like some intermissions and during one of them uh they did this thing where they got these four ladies out there to dance blindfolded they removed three of them so you're laughing at the one lady who's dancing blindfolded uh they take her blindfold off and tell her the bit or whatever. Then she turns around and her boyfriend is there proposing to her. I thought, I've seen the ballpark proposal a lot. The rodeo proposal.

The rodeo proposal. You've got to know your audience, though. Sure. She's probably stoked on the rodeo. Yeah, she's way more into that than she would be a November 21st game against the Orlando Magic. You're right. 100%.

Yeah. But is a July 6th or a July 5th rodeo equivalent of a November 20th or whatever? Yeah, probably. Yeah, so that had me thinking about that a lot. It's unique, I think. Proposed at the rodeo. I think it's unique.

Yeah. But you don't, I mean, that's what you want, right? Yeah, I guess. And then another proposal happened later in the night, too. So two different proposals at the rodeo. That's tough. If you were going to propose later in the night, you haven't like. You got to call it off.

Yeah. You got to call it off. Oh, no, there's already a proposal. It'll be like you were the second one. Yeah. But both were very it off. Oh, no. There's already a proposal. It'll be like you were the second one. But both were very pre-produced, obviously. The first with the dancing competition, whatever. The second one, the guy's kid won the mutton busting or whatever. And then, hey, would you like to say anything to your parents or the crowd or whatever?

He's like, will you marry my dad? And then she turns around. He's on a knee. And it's like you can't cancel that. Yeah. Like, he's already signed up. You have to say no right there. I would like to see the percentage of public like that.

Stadium, now rodeo proposals. What do you give it, like 10 years? Well, just how does it go with the national average of marriages? Yeah, divorce rates. Whatever. Yeah. But I suppose then it's kind of like uh your five-man lineups then you have to also look at you know the ages of the

people and right economics era adjusted yeah uh the rodeo was a lot of fun i actually enjoy it quite a bit it's so impressive what they're able to do and not just the cowboys but the horses too yeah and i i'm probably talking on my ass here but like the wrangler dudes were really cool like whenever they you know the steer runs off or whatever and they gotta like lasso them and get them back in there and then the people that are able to like get them into the cages or whatever and i know i'm sounding like an idiot sure but it was really impressive it held brooks's attention all night it's like a three and a half hour thing. Wow.

That is big. Yeah. My stepdad used to do that. Used to do what? Like perform in the rodeo? I don't know to the degree that he performed but he was definitely a guy who when my mom first met him

he had one of those blankets in his truck. He knows what I'm talking about. Oh yeah. He had a rodeo in our hometown. Yeah. Yeah. Big time. You got to have that throw blanket.

There's like a blanket. I don't know how to describe it. It's a saddle blanket. You put it before you put the saddle on. Yeah. Yeah. A really good night of entertainment. So I'm here on the-

You're going thumbs up on the rodeo. Yeah. Blake here for the rodeo, the Mes up on the rodeo. Yeah. Blake here for the rodeo. Mesquite Rodeo. Yeah, okay. It's a really, really good night of fun. And then Sunday night

I went to Lawrence Rosales. Heard a little bit about your show from Lawrence. What did he say? He said that somebody in your crowd yelled moose her.

No. I don't think that was my show. Okay, maybe it was the earlier show? I got an email about that. Okay. Yeah, a guy yelled moosing or something

at Derry Lawrence's show. Because he does a bit where he talks about doing doggy style or something. Was that him? Did he do that bit with you? No, I don't think so. He said he tested a lot

of new material on us okay last show of the week i guess man i wanted to try it so bad this weekend but that would have required me having sex yeah well it had it had to not happen the bit kind of was um it did not happen you didn't get that little vacation no home no vacation home or home? No. Vacation home? Or wherever. Where were you? You were at your mom's place, right? Yeah. It's a vacation home, isn't it? Or is that her home home? Doesn't that scream doggy style to you? Yeah. Jesus Christ.

Kind of shh, shh, shh. Gotta keep it quiet. Yeah. It's more of a hang space. Yeah. That also would have been news to me. I can't believe that we've yeah it's more of a hinge space yeah that also would have been news to me I can't believe that we've like

made 30 minutes into the week and Dan's already asked me when the last time I got a hand well you never know I honestly don't know yeah well there that's what I was looking for yeah so

all right so notice took wife out for two different firework events took her to the rodeo, took her to a comedy club, and I did not moose her. And I'm laying the groundwork, and I need guys out there to notice what I'm doing. Because I'm just stacking credits for whenever NCAA 25 comes out. I knew exactly what this was. So for the next month or so, when I don't see my family, remember, took you out to two fireworks shows?

She won't remember. Remember I got you that really nice card that Brooks colored on? Took you to the rodeo? I think primarily, this is a free episode, but paid free either way. People need to, like the Wells Fargo analyst who weighed the Chipotle bowls, people need to directly pay attention to how the quality

of these episodes falls off the second that game comes out. Because he's going to be tied up for six to eight hours a day. The weekly wrap-up might not make it. It might not happen. When's it drop? Well, I've got early release. It's before

we go to camp. That's why he's bringing his Xbox. It's July 16th. Guys don't usually brag about early release. They are now. That's a little sex joke for you. Totally. I still have that stuff. You guys want it? What's that? That Cameron stuff. Yes. You want it? Yeah. stuff. You guys want it? What's that? That Cameron stuff.

Yes. You want it? Yeah. Okay. You answered real quick. The what stuff? You remember when we were... Was it pink?

It's like... It's like horse... Is there a horse name in it? Yeah, that sounds... Yeah. I don't know what you guys are saying. The sex drink that he was promoting, and then the CNN person kept asking him about... Yeah, that sounds... I don't know what you guys are saying. The sex drink that he was promoting and then the CNN person

kept asking him about... Yeah, P. Diddy. P. Diddy. Oh, okay. And he was like, I'm really just here to promote this sex stimulant. I look at it every morning whenever I change my socks. Yeah, what am I going to do with that? I'm like, what am I going to do? Yeah. Like, there's a decent chance I'm not healthy enough to take it.

Like, you know, like know When you see prescription pill Ads and they're like ask your doctor if you're healthy enough For sex I'm like I'm not going to ask but I know I'm not You're not even 40 yet come on You still play flag football You still got it Thanks

You do man Let's do some sports football. You still got it. Thanks. You do, man. Thanks. Let's do some sports. That's what we do here. Sometimes. How about this? You want to say sports is brought to you by Frankel and Frankel personal injury

lawyers. You did say that this is a free episode. It means it's ad-supported. Indeed. And Frankl and Frankl are chosen by the people feared by the insurance companies if you had gotten in an accident over the Fourth of July weekend, which that would have been terrible, Jake.

It would have. What would you have done, though, immediately? I would have called 214-817-333-3333. And there were a couple moments yesterday where I thought, I may have to make a call. People driving crazy out there. 414-817-333-3333. And there were a couple moments yesterday where I thought, I may have to make a call. People driving crazy out there. Yeah, you get in an accident sometimes,

then it's the insurance companies get involved, and the insurance companies, they are fighting to not pay you what you should get, what you deserve. Franco will fight for you. They were fighting for your rights. Insurance companies try to take advantage of you. Franco fights for your rights. When you give him a call, you'll talk to a real partner, not just some spare.

It's a family-owned law firm. They have the experience and knowledge to win in the courtroom, and they will work tirelessly. That means... Without tire. Even if they get tired, they'll keep working to maximize your outcome. Yeah, you see a lot of these fly-by-night type billboards

whenever you're driving back up from the coast. And I'm like, these people, come on. These are vultures. Yeah. I want the Frankels. And the Frankels is located here in Dallas, based in Dallas. I was going to ask, this big company headquartered in New York, LA? Based right here.

Okay. Yeah. Some of their competitors, if they want to call them that, around the state of Texas. But they're right here in Dallas. They will fight for you. 214 or 817, then all threes. Frankle and Frankle.

Brings you today's sports. And I will just start with something that's probably not high on the radar, and then we can move to whatever you guys want to move on to. Sure. But did you see we had a little bit of a Twitter fight between C.D. Lamb and Cole Beasley. Did you guys see this? Yeah, unfortunately.

I saw a little bit of it, yeah. It all started with some guy. Some trainer or something? Tweeted out that C.D. is working on his explosiveness with this certain doctor. The drills will help change of direction, creating separation, and yak.

Yards after catch. CD led the NFL last year with 680 yak, it says. So it's even going to get better. Because maybe they're just trying to plug this doctor or the company he works for or something. So Cole Beasley jumps in to quote tweet. These are all quote tweeting each other.

But he didn't tag CD or anything. No one was tagged in any of this. Cole Beasley just jumped in and said, man, just do some heavy squats and power cleans. So now he's kind of shitting on the whole idea that you need to do all this stuff that C.D. Lamb is doing. So some other guy jumps in and says, is Cole Beasley really trying to tell C.D. how to train? Beasley has literally never eclipsed 1,000 yards, C.D. averaging 1,286 yards a year, and 599 yards short of Cole in four years versus 11.

So he's kind of scoreboarding saying, hey, CD Lamb knows what he's doing. Cole Beasley jumps back, sees that because it was quote tweeted on him, and he says, give me 180 targets off the couch, and I eclipse 1,000. 180 targets. Is that what CD got in a year? off the couch, and I eclipse 1,000. 180 targets. Is that what CD got in a year? Man, I bet it's not that far off. Anyway, he says, stop looking at stats and check the tape.

As far as getting open goes, I'm confident I did that with the best of them. And now CD jumps in. So he was following this from afar. 181. He says, I don't need 180 targets to touch a band. That would be 1,000. That's for you, Dan. I was going to ask.

Pull up tape. I'd match you route for route on getting open. Just chill. And then he does tag at Beasley. That was the first tag. So just if you were hoping that your Cowboys and ex-Cowboys were battling on Twitter this weekend, they were. This was going on over the July 4th weekend. Yeah, I don't know what to say about that.

I mean, I guess they're just all super, super online now. So I just, I guess I've decided to accept it. Cole Beasley, obviously always been a volume tweeter. It feels like he'll take like three months off and then he'll have two or three days where he just tweets a bunch. and maybe his wife tweets a bunch. And it might be football. It might be politics or the vaccine. Yeah.

Yeah. Who knows? It's weird because I remember you were not a big fan of his, right? Like as far as like anybody could do that job. I mean, I wasn't a complete hater.. Right? Like, as far as, like, anybody could do that job. I mean, I wasn't a complete hater, I don't think. Not hater, but, like, didn't you used to accuse him of having a lot of empty stats? And I remember I did.

I know that was Mike. Mike Reiner? Yeah. Okay. Because I looked at, you know, I looked up a bunch of his stuff, and actually when I used to write for Bob's blog, which is a foregone era, or a bygone era, I suppose, but he did convert a lot of first downs and move the chains. However, he's never broken a tackle in his life.

Yeah, I wouldn't think. No. So if he's sitting here trying to talk to C.D. Lamb about the way to train where you can get out of a tackle and create more yards after a catch. Don't really think you're the guy. Yeah. Personally. CD's pretty good.

Yeah. He hasn't been signed yet. Of course not. No, he's not participating. We will be in California before he will. Yeah. Okay. I think so.

He may not even go. Yeah. He'll win. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think so. He may not even go. Yeah. He'll win. Yes. Yeah. He'll win this standoff because they need him. Yeah. I think they might even have themselves convinced they could replace Dak easier than they can replace Cole.

Well, that's what Malik Hooker said. Seedy. Yeah. In that interview. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't think it would be. No. But CD's pretty good.

Yeah, and they just don't have a whole lot of other options. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. The, the, there's the, the depth chart is pretty thin. Oh,

for sure. Um, I mean, who else? So it's Brandon cooks and Jalen Tolbert. Yeah. Okay. Pretty much.

Yeah. See me. Okay. Yeah. What do you guys think about this Stars Valley streaming thing? What's the deal? So, apparently, as of this morning, the Stars are going to be the first to go straight direct-to-consumer with a streaming app. And it's free.

For in-market. And this starts, like, now, 2024, 2025. It's called Victory Plus. I did see that Bally bowed out and said they're, you know, because of bankruptcy, they're not going to air Stars games this year. Yeah. That's got to really hurt financially. On both sides? The Stars. What do financially. On both sides?

The stars. What do you mean, both sides? I mean, Valley's already bankrupt, so... Yeah, but I mean, if they were trying to get themselves out of it, wouldn't they need product? They now lost that. Yeah.

So the stars can sell the ads themselves. You know, they can sell the inventory themselves and just put it on an app that's free. Some people find that that's not always as easy as you think. Yeah. There are hurdles. But, I mean, I think this is probably the way of the future. So there'll still be big commercial breaks and all that kind of stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they're selling to a... Again, this might sound familiar. You're selling to maybe a smaller overall fan base, but a very rabid fan base. Yeah, passionate. Yeah.

It's pretty interesting. It feels like this is just going to be the way it is now. And they're going to be on no local TV stations at all? As of right now, no. I would think their numbers would be really small. But it's like you said, though. I mean, don't you think, especially with hockey, people are so fired up about it that they'll find it?

Like, people are so passionate, they're so riled up about it that that almost seems to me like the type of market that could pull it off. It's like the, what, the 1,000 fans? Yeah, but then the stars have to pull off the the video production yeah yeah that's true too i mean they would have to hire the people that bally's the truck used to run it yeah yeah and then pay them and yeah no that's a tough bit. The Stars began working with a company called APMC,

A Parent Media Company Incorporated, to develop their new app. On Monday, the team announced a seven-year agreement with APMC, which has also partnered with Dude Perfect. No. Why can't we go anywhere without running into Dude Perfect? You simply cannot. Dude, they're everywhere. You simply cannot.

They may replace Biden. Tyler and his running mate is Cody. He's a fraud. Took him 200 tries. Would that be great to see them in a debate? So anyways, I mean, the details on this are a little bit scant, but it's not going to be on Bally. Wow.

Yeah. I hadn't seen that at all. And I wonder, too, you know, it's weird. You know, we talked last week about the whole Adelson-Dumont deal with the Mavericks. Now that Cuban's out of this, they don't have any loyalty to Bally. Like, Cuban might have felt like, oh, that's just what people are used to seeing the Mavericks on, and I need to honor these prior and previous relationships. These casino people don't give a fuck.

They might just be like, no. We don't deal with Valley anymore. And the Mavs are a much bigger deal than the Stars, so that would be the one that really shifts the landscape, I guess.

Yeah, I guess I'm not even familiar with what the Stars financial – you heard about the Rangers with Bally. That was a big deal, or Fox Sports Southwest. Yeah. It was like a billion-dollar deal over 10 years. I don't know how many, right? It was a lot. And that was supposed to keep them in the high spenders.

And then when that's all gone, you know, because that's where baseball gets most of their revenue from local deals. I don't know what the NHL situation is. It feels similar. Yeah, it's got to be similar. Because the NFL is the one with the national deals. Yeah, I mean, and that's uniform, right? I would think the NBA, I would think they make more from the national deal,

but I'm not sure. But, yeah. It's interesting to see it all play out. Yeah. It's just interesting to see how our You know Our personal lives have changed But the whole

You know Just our lives Watching everything that we watch Is so different How will this all How will it be at the end Speaking of Cuban not being involved That is interesting too

Because they had a Did you get the press release about Tomorrow we got a Clay Thompson Cuban not being involved, that is interesting, too, because they had a – did you get the press release about tomorrow we got a Clay Thompson introductory press conference? Yeah, it looked to me like it was going to be – and maybe I read this incorrectly – like it was going to be an everyone press conference. Is that wrong?

Yeah. Okay. The Grimey and whoever the other... Grimey. The couple of acquisitions they've made in the past couple weeks. Yeah. Yet, the highest level Mavs official there seems to be Michael Finley. Yeah.

Nico's not even there. But these were things that Cuban would always be front and center with this. For sure. And it probably would have been just Cuban and Klay Thompson. Yeah. Or maybe the coach as well. But for Cuban to not be involved in any of this stuff is insane. Yeah, if you remember back when they traded for KP,

they had KP up there with Cuban, and I'm pretty sure Donnie. And if you remember, they thanked KP up there with Cuban and I'm pretty sure Donnie. And if you remember, they thanked KP's brother, Giannis. Do you remember that Blake? There was always this weird thing where they had to like keep KP's brother happy. Yeah.

That's why I got to park downstairs next to the door. But it was just always this weird thing of like, oh, you know, hey, we just want to make sure we thank, you know, maybe he went by Janice. I can't remember if it was Janice or Giannis, but Cuban's up there placating all parties involved, and now he's not even at the press conference for Clay. It's a big deal.

Yeah, I want to know how much involvement he had with acquiring Clay if any it feels like none I was reading that ESPN article you told me about

Ramona yeah Clay Thompson how it all fell apart with the Warriors and just I mean Cuban's not mentioned because I just think Cuban's not mentioned.

Because I just think that's a... I don't know. That's a key acquisition to the Mavs moving forward. And is it going to work? I mean... I don't think it's out of pocket to say it's the biggest free agent signing in the history of the franchise. But he's past his prime.

He's 34. He might not even really be, you know, a star anymore. But every other player that they've acquired of note was a trade. So, I mean, Klay Thompson is one of the three or four best shooters in the history of the game. He shot 39% last year. He still scores 20 points a game. You're adding him to Kyrie and Luka.

Who else would it be? There's really nobody else that they've been able to lure to Dallas. Yeah. I mean, they did sign Kyrie last year, but he was already here. Yeah, exactly. He had his bird rights, and he didn't really have anywhere he could go. Yeah. I don't know.

Who's Franz Wagner? Moe's brother? Wagner. Franz Wagner. Mm-hmm. He's got a contract bigger than Luka. Did you see that? Oh, yeah.

I mean, he just signed it. What the hell? Who is this? Come on, man. He's good. He doesn't even average 20 a game. He's good. He's never been an all-star.

Why are you so upset about this? Because I was just seeing this this weekend. Like, who are these guys? I don't even know who he is. He's on Orlando. There was definitely a couple of contracts this weekend. Like, who are these guys? I don't even know who he is. He's on Orlando. There was definitely a couple of contracts this weekend

that got signed where you're like, oh my God. How are you making $58 million a year? Yeah, their money all has to be national money.

The leak? Yeah, it has to stem from that. Yeah. Mostly. More than local. They probably don't even care about the local.

Have you looked at like the Sun situation? That's a fun one. local. They probably don't even care about the local. Have you looked at the Suns situation? That's a fun one. No. They have by far the highest or the most expensive roster in the NBA for the next three seasons. And they're going to lose picks because they're over the second apron and their team sucks.

Oh, and they're not allowed to make certain trades. Any. No. They can't sign mid-level exception guys anymore. So they're locked into who they are. Yeah. Unless they unload. But who's going to take any of those deals for $60 million a season? For a busted Bradley Beal.

Yeah. Yeah. Or Kevin Durant, who... Yeah, I was seeing another thing, how LeBron supposedly took, like, a discount... Oh, my God. ...to keep them under the second apron, but it was...

They're, like, $45,000 under the second apron. Like, he took the minimum discount that he could. It wasn't like he took a discount so he can go sign a player or two. He is the master of the narrative, man. The LeBron thing, though, ever since that article came out, that was kind of the worst thing that could have happened to LeBron, I feel like. Which one?

That I was telling you guys about. Was it last week or two weeks ago? There was an article questioning whether Michael Jordan should have won. Oh, the Tom Haverstraw thing? Defensive player of the year. Yeah. And since then. It's picking up.

The microscope has turned clearly to LeBron. Yeah. And guys are going back to look at the games that allegedly Michael Jordan got gifted assists and gifted, or not assists, but... Steals and blocks and stuff. Yeah, but the problem with that, though, is, and I heard Ethan Strauss talking about that over the weekend, nobody's doing that to everybody else.

What do you mean? Like, okay, yeah, they're doing it to Jordan. Yeah, they're doing it to LeBron. You'd have to do it to everybody. Right. Yeah, but no one's going to do it to everybody else. I know, but – They're only going to look at those two.

Yeah. Because it's legitimately – It's still annoying. So now I think we're in a weird area where LeBron's career, I think, is getting diminished and underrated a little bit. He made this about LeBron. Don't you think? Yeah, I mean

yes like right now it's look at how funny this is I mean I think it's funny too that Klay Thompson spurred LeBron

you know everybody's saying no to LeBron like he ends up and you know oh did you see his kid got a four year deal

four year deal for the 55th overall pick. Like $8 million. Like $2 million a year. I did enjoy the comparisons of what he's making compared to the pick before him and after him and then 55 last year. Like it's insane. Like it's way, way.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. You don't necessarily get it. Pick 55 might not make the team, but yeah, he got a four-year deal. Do you think he might not make the team? No, I'm saying like... Yeah. But maybe that is their... Okay, I'm paying you less, LeBron,

but I'm paying him that money I would have given you. Like it's all in the family? What do you think his allowance was? What do you think Kobe would think of this? Look, Kobe never took a dollar discount.

Are you trying to tell me that Kobe was just the ultimate team guy? I'm saying Kobe's legacy is a Laker, then now it's LeBron and his kid and a circus. Kobe, look at the late stages of Kobe's career. That was nothing but a circus. Kobe took like 80% of the salary cap. They were a terrible team. All he was doing is chucking up, you know, heaving shots,

trying to score 60, trying to score 80. Don't overrate Kobe here. No, I'm just saying they went from one insane killer to, hey, draft my son, and I'll take a little bit less. You're saying he's an insane killer, but again, he wasn't about just winning. He was about making sure that he got all his and he stayed in L.A.

No, but people remember him as the killer. I know. And that's because he died young. Yeah. It's a good call. It probably helps. We should try it.

Okay. Well, I mean, that seems pretty dark. By the way, is Team USA all black? And has there ever been an Olympic team that's all black? It feels like back in the day they used to... I mean, even the original Dream Team.

Christian Laettner. They added Christian Laettner late. Yeah, they already had Bird. Bird was kind of a legacy. John Stockton, I think, was a person. Yes, on my part. But I'm willing to bet that if a country in Africa has ever had a team in the Olympics. No, I'm saying the U.S.

Oh. Has a country in Africa ever had a team in the Olympics? So that's why I qualified. Because you have to qualify for the Olympics. My Slovenian boys got run roughshod over yesterday. Were you happy? No, I was not. A lot of my friends in the group chat were, hey, we're going to get the rest now.

He needs it. I wanted to see him play in the Olympics. But when it was 49-19 with two minutes left in the second quarter, I think that's about when I gave up hope. But, you know, the weird one is like Embiid is playing for the Americans. Mm-hmm. Who was born in Cameroon and has French citizenship. I don't understand any of it.

Why is he playing for the Americans? He said he wanted to because his kid's an American. And he wanted to play for his son. Yeah, most guys, or guys you hear of, are even born here, but they're... Yeah. That's if you can't... They're like a parent or something. That's if you couldn't make the American squad.

Yeah. But of course, Embiid's getting a lot of crap for it because he hasn't won anything. And they're like, oh, okay. Yeah. Hop on this now. I don't really understand it. I mean, Mike Tobey from Virginia was on Slovenia's team

for the past two times around. I have no idea how that happened. They had a black guy this weekend. Do you feel like Slovenia does not for the past two times around. I have no idea how that happened. They had a black guy this weekend. Do you feel like Slovenia does not have any black citizens? I think it's extremely low. Probably like less than 1%. All right. Okay.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Sure. Okay Yeah I don't know I don't know Sure And then I do I know I want to

Do this But I don't know much about it I want to promote We have a ranger night Yeah let's do that What does that mean? Or a ranger day right? Yeah

Just discounted tickets And you get to sit in our section It's September 19th 135 against the Blue Jays. So we're going to do our show at the Lowe's Hotel next door before the game and then walk over and enjoy Blue Jays versus the Rangers. It's the second to last homestand. So one of the last Ranger games of the year. What time's the game?

135. He just said that last Ranger games of the year. What time's the game? 1.35. He just said that. Oh, I'm sorry. We're going to be done by then? Yeah. We'll have to start a little early. But yeah, you can come by and see us at the Lotus Hotel. We'll do our show there.

And then walk on over. Tickets, $22 to sit with us. Not really related to a sex act at all. No. No. I promoted this on the weekend wrap up. I wanted to give our listeners of the wrap up a special little thing.

The Rangers gave us 69 tickets. We have already sold out. And we have gotten 100 more. Wow. So if you want to jump on before it sells out again, please do. I'll put the link in the show notes. It's kind of hard to say, as I had to say it on the wrap-up. But, yeah, check the show notes.

The link is in there. Got 100 more tickets, $22. Come watch the Rangers with the Dumb Zone. Okay. Okay, indeed. And so for those that have real jobs and have to take PTO or half day or whatever, yeah, just do it. $130.

You're home by 6. So based on just off of your mentioning it on the weekend thing, they sold it out already. Yep. Look at that. Amazing. They sold it out already. Yep.

Look at that. Amazing. I just got an email suggestion about what to name that weekend podcast. Want to do Viewer Mail? Yeah. I'm surprised you guys haven't commented on this at all. What do you got? I've noticed it.

I got bit. Oh, I couldn't see it. What is it? I have trouble noticed it. I got bit. Oh, I couldn't see it. What is it? I have trouble seeing that far without my glasses. The boy's in a biting phase. Oh. Oh, my gosh. Darn it.

I thought you meant like a wasp or something bit you. I do think it's interesting. I guess something that would bite wasps. I do think it's interesting that you immediately went to insect rather than maybe I got a little spicy in the bedroom. Yeah, well, you've already kind of laid the groundwork here. This weekend was not for that. No. No. No moosing.

No moosing. Jake emailed and said, Jake Davis, not our Jake. Our Jake wouldn't email us. He would just ask us. He said, have you considered the weekly happy ending? Okay. Because it is at the end of the week. What do you think?

I love it. And then it does have the, apparently some kind of a sexual connotation. I'm not that familiar with that. Stuart said, Blake got ball sacked yeah I do a bunch the SMU tax fraud story is completely fake I can't believe Blake fell for this

he said it's a TCU burner account at TCU Carter boys that changed his profile pic and name to college football news. So like I said I saw I saw Blake on Wednesday

night at Grady show and I mentioned it you know I was like hey I don't know if you're getting blown up about you know that story was fake and he did what I do which he was like yeah yeah, yeah,

but, I mean, the crazy part is, like, we all believed it, you know? I'm like, yeah, I guess, dude. You fell for a fake story, and now you're going to try to blame Dan and I for it? I believed it because he told me. I trust him. I mean, isn't it just so much funnier that we actually would have believed that? I think my point was it's –

That's a horrible point. If North Texas does it, you're like, oh, wow, that's weird. But if you say SMU commits tax fraud, yeah, okay, yeah, that checks out. So he's doubling down now. That's why it's a good – And I didn't say that on air. That was just between us. Not anymore.

Hey, dumb zone, whatever we are. I don't know, dude. I'm a California DF. I wanted to see if you guys had anything planned in the area. I'd like to meet up, hang with the DZ. Let me know or let the whole class know your plans on the next SOAD from DF Ryan. Do we have plans, Stu? I mean...

Stay tuned? Pending, yeah. Watch this space. I keep getting emails about different Roseannes. Good. So you say there are many people who are Roseannes. Do you want to explain what a Roseanne is?

You know, it's kind of like I can't remember the specific Supreme Court justice who said this, but it was whenever they were talking about obscenity. Ty, you want to help me here at all? Yeah, you're talking about pornography? Like defining pornography? You know it when you see it.

You know it when you see it. So you could see somebody, a human, and you're like, they're a Roseanne. My grandmother was a Roseanne. Okay. And I don't know that she ever saw Roseanne, like on television. Does a Roseanne have to be a lady? It absolutely does not. Because this person says Senator John Fetterman.

Ooh, that's interesting because he's bald. Can you be a bald Roseanne? I don't know. I have to think about that. Are we keeping a new list, Blake? Yeah, we have a Roseanne's list. Fetterman has a smushy face, so there may be something to that.

I don't know about this one. Yeah. I don't know. He does have a smushy face. He does have a, yeah. He's a big guy, right? Huge guy. Big guy big guy wears sweats yeah do you like that yeah I can

get on board with that I have a bunch of birthdays because it was a long weekend I have one real quick oh before we move on I have a bunch of birthdays because it was a long weekend. I have one real quick. Oh. Before we move on to birthdays. Got a comment on Patreon.

Love the weekly pullout. That's his idea for the name. Any possibility of releasing it on Wednesdays instead of Saturdays? And would that be better for our weekly rhythm? A Thursday to Tuesday rap. That way people have something to listen to on Business Wednesday. I don't like it. I don't care.

So one no, one I don't care. Well, I've also been thinking of doing something with Business Wednesday. I actually recorded an interview on July 4th. Some freaking Lipton over here. For a future Business Wednesday. I'm not sure if I have it in me to do one a week. So I was going to promise one a month.

Okay. Like just an actual business thing. Like I talked to a guy about business he's into he's got a business he uh runs a business and i thought it was an interesting talk and if you don't want to listen to it like it's not our show yeah it's business wednesday okay i just we're trying to stack up things we're trying to build things to where that long awaited annual

that we want to offer that we can include that like if you're going to do an annual with us you're going to get these extra things that's why I want to I think the weekly wrap up should be there who else has had a birthday? Oh, geez.

Man, I thought we were having a nice little conversation on it. This one is entitled, Make-A-Wish Email. Oh, man. Yeah, this hit me in the feels. Dear Dan, Jake, and the severely underrated Blake. Thank you for knowing that. I am having brain surgery tomorrow to remove a tumor. Doctors think the likelihood of success is high,

but you never know with these things, I guess. I've listened to y'all for many years, never had the courage to write in. I did, however, make the crow line eight weeks in a row back in 2022. That's a high I will never come down from i'll be as brief as a dying man can if i don't make it off the operating table tomorrow i have instructed my wife to leave the 690 subscription for one calendar year i've done this for two

reasons one i can't do anything to stop this tumor from killing me, but I'll be damned if I let it rob you all of $6.90 a month. Two, I still have an immense amount of regret about waiting until your trial wrapped up to subscribe. That being said, when I did, I went back to the first episode and caught up quickly. I apologize for my tardiness. He also says, I want to request like a just in case,

an early birthday shout out to Ben Maltz. He was kind enough to let me join his 690 remote at Possum Kingdom Lake as a make-a-wish dream fulfillment of sorts. Watching your show in person was enthralling. I cannot recommend it

enough to DFs everywhere. Let's now check in with those. Pretty enthralling. I cannot recommend it enough to DFs everywhere. Let's now check in with those pretty enthralled. That's a big word. Yeah. And he says some nice stuff. This guy could be dead already. He sent this at like 3 o'clock in the morning.

He says, If you lose a subscriber a year from tomorrow, know it has nothing to do with the content of your show or your hearts. Much love. Thanks for the laughs. Hope I get to listen to you again soon. P.S. Jake, I prayed for Carter when he was undergoing surgery as an infant.

I'm not saying you're a dick if you don't return the favor, but I'm also not not saying that. That's from Kyle Cox, who's having brain surgery, either today or tomorrow. It's undetermined. Yeah, I mean, our father, Orthel. Look, the main important thing to take away from this is we're going to keep his subscription for at least a year.

Yes, yes, yes. That will not be a hit to us. And I think that's the key takeaway for everybody who's hearing that. Good luck, Kyle. That guy got up at 2.30 in the morning to go have brain surgery and was like, let me email these dumbasses. He probably couldn't sleep. Yeah, you think you'd have trouble sleeping if you were about to have brain surgery? That's a good point.

Well, I hope he got to moose one last time. Let's see here. No one's moosing. Well, he said it's a good chance he survives. You don't trust them doctors, do you? It's, uh... Here's some other emails that have nothing to do with

that. Savannah says it's my fiance's birthday. His name is Colton. He has emailed in before under the alias of Poonslayer69. Ty really liked that one. P.S. He was woken up in that special way.

This is her? What? You write as PoonSlayer69? Dan, it's my son James's Justin Fields on the Steelers birthday. I don't know. Nobody's. The Dumb Zone's unique blend of sports comedy and education make it the perfect podcast for him to listen to in the car every day.

Sounds Chinese. Hey, Zoners, it is my daughter's birthday. Oh, birth date. I know you don't typically do birth announcements,

but I thought Jake would make an exception. She was born on 7-7. The actual fake Luca Day from Colin Pennington. But not the real Luca Day. No. Let's admit, 7-7 is Luca Day. I honor the police. Yeah, there was a tragedy that day. let's admit 7-7 is Luka Day.

Jake would know. I don't know. You know, I can't tell you, honestly. I need to learn more about this bit. Your favorite character is Frasier, probably. Yeah. Yeah, no. The dog.

What about Niles? Is he a closet Frasier guy? Dear Uncle Hotmail, it's my daughter Lucia's Luca multiplied by Russell Westbrook birthday. She's zero? I guess I was born today. She was born this morning. Okay.

I'm just I'm just bored Leaders are Heart Attack Man The Reddit incels, and the original Hawk Tua girl, Monica Lewinsky. There you go.

That's true. Well, we don't know that, but... Sure. And last, I just wanted to call out Jake for being a hypocrite. He would always complain about children calling into the station. Then he has his freaking daughter on the podcast.

Jeez, dude. But Jake is great, and I'm a fellow IVF father with my second super baby on the way. Congrats, man. Love you, gays. Travis Barron. I did it one time. One time. Yes, I've had my kids on more.

And finally, Armin, Shannon says, birthday shout out to my husband, Andy Reid. Oh, wait. It's for tomorrow. Okay. Well, then I guess we'll read it tomorrow tomorrow I don't know what to tell you that's right

sorry guys I play a lot of chess not in real life a lot of people have told me you should play chess because you'll be great I've never played chess but in my mind and theory I feel like should play chess because you'll be great. I've never played chess, but in my mind, in theory, I feel like I play chess on the floor. You're listening to The Dumb Zone.

Do you remember this? I do. I do. Trying to recruit LeBron back in 2010. How'd that go? Would they have won the title in 2011 had they got LeBron? Or is he just not ready to win it? 2-1-4.

I'm really glad that he never ended up here. There's still time. There is still time. Do you guys ever, like, I was thinking about Clay. Don't puck it. Thank you. I was thinking about Clay being 34. And, like, this weekend I tried to run a little bit.

Okay. Like, a little bit. Okay. Like a little bit. And it just made me think like it's insane that LeBron is my age plus like eight months and still does what he does. Yeah. Like I understand he's a pro athlete and everything, blah, blah, blah. Here's what you do. If I had a trainer.

A chef. If I had a chef. Yeah. If I had made $40 million or whatever. Never stopped training. $40 million a year. Right. Here's what you do. If I had a trainer, if I had a chef, if I had made $40 million or whatever, $40 million a year. Right, rent a gym on vacation. No, here's the deal.

If you made $80 million a year, you'd be coked out of your mind. I would end up with $79.999 of it gone. Yeah. You'd be moosing every day. Yeah, moose. Just moose from born tonight. Like, hey, wait hey wait you gave me 40 million for one year i now

retire yeah like why would i keep why would i try yeah that's uh that's why you just you weren't born in northeast ohio no down here things are given so the nfl NFLPA's study came out again. Their little report card. That's fun. Every year. Okay. I like this. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't really know what to make of it other than it really seems like people hate playing for the Chiefs, which is funny. Or just their facilities? Yeah. Or just their facilities? Yeah, and I don't want to say too much, but I've certainly talked with people who work out with people who play for the Chiefs, and that jives with their general impression of the way that the Chiefs operate. Did they used to do that about the Patriots too? But But, you know, it was never, like, thought of as awesome as Dallas. Yeah. But, you know, if you do want to win games, you might just want to go to Kansas City.

Yeah. But it's just not good to be, like, horrible on everything. Treatment of families, D+, nutrition, F, locker room, F, training staff, F. Wow. Ownership, F-, which I didn't even know existed. Did get an A+, for head coach. How'd they get

an F- on ownership? What the hell's that? You know, I don't know. How do they give these? Like, is there a certain amount of teams that are going to get an F? You know, I don't know about that. It's an anonymous thing that you can fill out or not fill out. But I do think it's something like 700 or 800 players filled it out.

Are the Cowboys real high? On most of them, yeah. Their aggregate rating was 12th out of 32 teams. So, treatment of families, solid. Locker room. The only area where they really did poorly was training staff. And training room. Training staff, D+, training room, C-.

But everything else is pretty solid. Head coach, A. Ownership, B. And those rank 9th and 19th respectively. How are the Browns? That's a good question. I did not look the Browns up. That looks pretty terrible across the board.

Yeah. 23rd to 32 in their aggregate rating. Travel's a D. Weight room's a D. Treatment of family's D minus Jeez Yeah So you know

Massage Therapist Happy baby pose Is that what it's called? Yeah Okay I don't know why I looked at both of them I mean I've heard

Yeah But it is interesting though Like the fact that this comes out. Actually, it says 1,700 players responded this year. And certain teams that had really terrible rankings last year, like the Cardinals, improved this year. So, like, the teams actually do see this and see, okay, well, people think our travel sucks, our nutrition sucks. That's why the Players Association does this, right?

Yeah. To try and up every game. Some level of accountability, yeah. Yeah, when things are publicized, I mean, that's how salaries got to where they are. It's really interesting when you read about salaries, because I think initially it was the owners that wanted to make the salaries public. Once they started paying a lot. Look at these guys playing a kid's game.

Right. Making all this money. Yeah. And in a way, they did get public opinion like, yeah, that's bullish. But the Cowboys knew it long ago. You don't want other players on other teams knowing what everybody is making. And once that all, you know, once they realize we have to let everybody know that legally,

you know, that's the way I've always heard it, is that owners initially wanted the players' salaries to be public. Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe it was the Players Association saying it. No, I think that's from either Lords of the Realm or the Marvin Miller biography that, yeah, it kind of backfired on him a little bit. Okay.

It is weird to me, though, that the Cowboys have low marks on anything, specifically training room and training staff. I mean, I guess that one guy died. Yeah, that'll set you back. A bit of an impediment. But, yeah, I mean... Yeah, you would think they have top quality everything. Everything.

And for the most part, they do. Their facility looks incredible. Yeah, and look, I mean, this is not like directly correlated to winning, but the teams at the top are primarily good teams. The Vikings, the Dolphins, the Niners, the Texans. Boy, I got to tell you something. After being at Beach near Houston, I'm not ready for the Texans to be good.

They're going to be good, aren't they? They are going to be good. They've made a lot of really smart moves. Why did being down there? Because there was a bunch of Texan tents. You're an hour and 15 minutes away. Uh-huh. Yeah.

I mean, when they're 4-12, there's not a whole lot of Houston Texans pride taking place in South Texas. But now it's everywhere, And I don't like it. Yeah, they're really quick to tell you how good they're going to be. And even when they were good under Bill O'Brien, they didn't – And that was like quote-unquote good. That was play the Saturday playoff game at 2 p.m. Yeah. They didn't feel cool, but now they do.

I know. Their coach is awesome. Their quarterback is awesome. Yeah, I don't like it. Would you trade full teams? Of course. Oh, my gosh. Right awesome. Yeah, I don't like it. Would you trade full teams? Of course. Oh, my gosh. Right now.

Yeah. Yeah. I saw a lot of Texans flags and, like I said, tents and towels and stuff, and I'm just like, no. Yeah, I hate how good C.J. Stroud is. Yeah. So they ranked very highly on all of these. Let me read you a brief part of this ESPN article.

It says, Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua knows he's a picky eater. When he wanted to improve his eating habits this offseason, he went to team nutritionist Sebastian Zorn for help, but had some restrictions. Nakua doesn't like any vegetables, listing green onions and asparagus before saying, I don't do any of those.

And so instead, he replaces the nutrients from vegetables with watermelon and pineapple in the morning to go with his eggs and bacon. He says, those are how I get some of my fiber and stuff like that because, like, hey, you gotta poop somehow. That is true. You do got to poop somehow. That is true.

You do have to poop somehow. But are these younger athletes, they're just going to not eat what they don't want. Is that the new thing? Like they're going to be online and they're not going to eat your rabbit food? Yeah, at least today's young athlete is saying, let me replace it with something.

Whereas I think the old... Just eat fast food. Yeah, it would have just been I'm eating fries and burgers all the time until you start to lose it in your late 20s, 30. You're like, boy, I got to hang on here. Dirk, I think, was a fast food eater. Oh, yeah. Nothing but.

Yeah, until like maybe 30. Yeah. Late 20s. I remember him telling you and Bob that. Oh, yeah. Nothing but. Yeah, until like maybe 30. Yeah. Late 20s. I remember him telling you and Bob that. Don't you just get a smoothie, though? Yeah, probably. But it's funny to me. It's like he doesn't eat vegetables.

So rather, I don't know, all the vitamins that he's missing, he's like, God, I got to poop, man. I got to eat something with fiber. And you could take like fiber supplements. Look, the Al Michaels thing rocked me. What's that? I think he said he's never eaten a vegetable.

Yeah. And he looks great. Yeah, when Ham says he doesn't eat vegetables, that makes sense. Yeah, you look at him and you're like, you're a sickly fuck. Yeah, but Puka Nakua's not eating them. Right. And he's a top-tier athlete.

And I think watermelon is pretty much just fiber, right? Oh, is it? Like, there's not any nutritional value to watermelon. I've heard that. I didn't know it even had fiber. And I think it's the same thing with, like, iceberg lettuce. It's just water. It's just water and fiber, I think it's the same thing with iceberg lettuce. It's just water. It's just water and fiber, I think.

Anyways, people want to play for the Cowboys. That's what I'm telling you. Do you want to play it today in Twitter Open? They just have to go look for a free agent. That would help. Yeah, I'd love to play it today in Twitter Open. I bet you would.

You guys want to just talk until I find it? Yeah, I'm going to... The Dumb Zell presents Today in Twitter. They got mimosas over here. Yeah, we're enjoying ours. I know, they tried peer pressuring me

into drinking a mimosa, but... Didn't work. I mean, they're paying your salary today. The least you could do is partake. Yeah. So this is from 2013. I don't have any idea why this came back up over the weekend, but it was quite viral on Twitter.

And it's Donald Trump on Wendy Williams' show. Okay. Is she still out there? Yeah, I think so. Trump on Wendy Williams show. Okay. And again. She's still out there? Yeah, I think so. I mean. She's, I think she actually did retire or she's not doing her show anymore. She's not doing well, right? Yeah.

So that's what I was going to say is I think she's had some. I think Tracy Morgan's wife from 30 Rock hosts the show now. Don't know her name. Okay. Feels racist. Black lady. Yeah. Yeah. She's real funny on 30 Rock hosts a show now. Don't know her name. Okay, feels racist. Yeah. Yeah. She's real funny on 30 Rock. Look it up.

But Wendy Williams said, yeah, she's had a bunch of various mental issues, physical issues. But I don't know. When we were still doing our show a year and a half ago, she was still on then. So it hasn't been that long. All right. a year and a half ago. She was still on then, so it hasn't been that long.

All right. So she had Trump on in 2013, and it's all about the celebrity apprentice. And it's weird because I think in some ways we think that that was like way before he ran for president. It wasn't. It was like two years before. Yeah, that's surprising.

Yeah, it was not 2005, 2006. He was doing the show in 2013. Two years before. Yeah, that's surprising. Yeah, it was not 2005, 2006. He was doing the show in 2013. So she's a big fan of the show, and she's just asking him about the process of running Celebrity Apprentice. I like Omar. So it is possible that that happens. I must tell you, from my standpoint, I sort of love what we're doing. You know, so many of the celebrities, everybody wants to go.

We must turn down five for everyone we take in terms of the celebrity. Really? Because it's been so good for the career. You know, the hardest one was first Celebrity Apprentice because they didn't want to be fired. Right. And then with Joan and with the tremendous success of the people, Piers Morgan, you know, everybody that was on. Not just the winners, because

Trace came in second and he became the biggest country singer. Omarosa's never won. And Omarosa's never wanted to look at omarosa she's doing quite well so you know it's it's something we would think about but i love just personally i love going and seeing these people that i've seen all my life and saying you're fired right that's an ego thing i think that's more eager but it could happen a lot of people have asked for it I think that's more ego. I think that's more ego. But it could happen.

A lot of people have asked for it. Okay. Yeah. I mean, this is nothing. The old familiar cadence. Earth shattering here. But you can tell, yeah, the cadence is there. He's wearing the same, like, boxy blue blazer with, like, the red tie.

And he's doing the hand thing. This one's really funny to me because, okay, so with Usherake who sings a song yeah with him yeah ludicrous no i don't know little john oh yeah okay he does the yeah part why did you fire some of the most entertaining people early like latoya jackson question and omarosa great question great question latoya jackson question and omarosa it's a great question like Latoya Jackson and Omarosa? Great question. Great question. Latoya Jackson and Omarosa. That's a great question. The show does well because I'm honest.

If I wanted to be an entertainer, and, you know, I have to... When they deserve to be fired, I have to fire them. I've had many cases where I didn't want to fire somebody from an entertainment standpoint, but if I don't do it, it's not going to be the right thing. I have to do the right thing. I like that. Yeah.

I'm just an honest man. That is the basis of him. You know, sometimes I would have loved to have kept Dennis Rodman longer. Yes. But it was, like, impossible. If I would have done that, I would have taken tremendous heat. You know, one person... From who?

They would have been all over me about that. Impossible. If I would have done that, I would have taken tremendous heat. You know, one person that was so popular, and I took a lot of heat for this one, firing Little John. People love Little John. They loved him, and so do I. People love Little John.

Little John. Little John. You know, one person that was so popular, and I took a lot of heat for this one, firing Little John. People love Little John. They loved him, and so do I, by the way. I just saw him. I just saw him.

I have to do what's right, and entertainment has to be second. But a lot of times for entertainment, I wish I didn't have to do that. Yeah. But I think the credibility that I've built up for the show, that's what makes it successful ultimately. But it's hard. Yeah, yeah. That's what it comes down to is the credibility that you've built up

as part of Celebrity Apprentice. Right. I mean, first and foremost. I didn't want to fire Little John. It's not about entertainment. Yeah. So now they go to the crowd. So apparently this is something Wendy does, like Ask Wendy.

Okay. Except now it's Ask Wendy with Donald Trump. Okay. So he's just kind of working the crowd. So how can we help? How you doing, Wendy and Mr. Trump? How are you? I'm Judy. How are you? I'm Judy,

and I'm married to a wonderful man, but he's a golfaholic. Oh. He's very... Oh. It's really weird hearing him... Not talk politics?

Yeah, without any, you know... Yeah. Agenda. Yeah, it's just like... he's just being him a person which is funny it's very funny yeah but he's a golfaholic he's very very good but i'd like him to spend just a little bit less time on the course and more time with me now donald you're a golfer and i'm an expert on this subject. Okay. Let him play golf. Tell him I love you.

I do. Does he make a good living? Oh, yeah. Okay. Let him play golf. He does. Tell him to enjoy himself. You love him.

Don't take him off the golf course, because otherwise he may have to fly the coop. I doubt it, but he may fly the coop. Let him play. Encourage him. Don't do that. I've seen too many wives when I've seen it. Right. They say, oh, you're playing golf, you're playing golf.

Guess what? One day they go home, he's not there. When they take him home. What is happening? I love his advice. Yeah, he's a pro, right? In the end. He's not there.

Yeah. Gotta let him play. He's not there. When you take him out of a habit that he really loves, he might turn on you like a wild dog. But you know what I would suggest? Does he play like at a club where there's a clubhouse? Can you get a cute golf outfit and maybe drive the golf?

I do golf. All right. I do. You might not golf on his level, so he might not want to play with her. You just let him play and tell him to enjoy himself, and he's going to love you even more. I'm telling you. Okay. There you go. And he's going to love you even more. I'm telling you.

Okay. There you go. Thank you, Judy. Thank you. Okay, we've got our next person. Have a seat, Judy. Thanks, Judy. Judy's still laughing.

Judy, take each of our advice and... Okay. This is amazing, right? Yeah. It's just Trump, like, working the crowd. Yeah. Like, okay, so here's one more. Okay.

Hi, Mr. Trump. How are you? I work really long hours and my boyfriend is starting to think that i may be cheating on him whoa and my boyfriend is starting to think that i may be cheating on him whoa are you are you cheating i am not donald how do i assure him that when I'm at work, I'm actually doing work and not someone else? Now, Donald, I'm going to let you answer first.

And your wife is a businesswoman, so I'm sure she looks late sometimes as well. But I think if he has that in the back of his mind, I mean, you love him that much? Absolutely. Can you live without him? No, I cannot live without him. Because, you know, if he has that now in the back of his mind,

that could be trouble. It's only going to get worse. For the future, I'm saying. How long have you been with him? 12 years. And how old are you? 32. And why boyfriend?

He's not... Yeah, exactly. That's another show. Huh? Oh! Dude, he's just Ricky Lake. Yeah. He's just like,

why is he not proposed? Yeah, I mean, there's more, but it's just, this is three years before he became president. He's just walking around in the crowd at Wendy Williams like, your boyfriend is probably sleeping around. Let him golf. That's awesome, man. Yeah, he fits right in. Missed his calling. Yeah. Well, I don't know. He's got a lot of callings, it seems. That's true. You. Yeah, he fits right in. Missed his calling.

Yeah. Well, I don't know. He's got a lot of callings, it seems. That's true. You know what, though? I cut this off last week, and I don't know where it's from, and I hope it's going to fit here, but it's Trump. And I guess I haven't had a chance to work it in anywhere. And so I want to give you this piece of Trump audio.

Because he's claiming... He has an idea to rally. I think I saw this, yeah. I told Dana White of UFC, I said, here's what we're going to do. You know, these are tough cookies coming into our country. Coming with prisons and mental institutions. I said to Dana White, UFC, he's got a big fight going on right now. He's a good friend of mine.

You know what he said the other day? They said, who's the toughest person you've ever met? He said, definitely Donald Trump. He said, Donald Trump. How about that? But I said, Dana, Dana, I have an idea for you to make a lot of money. You're going to go and start a new migrant fight league.

Migrants, only migrants. And then at the end of the year, the champion migrant is going to fight your champion. And I hate to tell you, Dana, I think the migrant might win. That's how tough they are. That's what I'm used to now Just hearing him talk like that But My point there is that

Trump thinks he invented bum fights Yeah Right? That's kind of the basis of bum fights Yeah, no I don't know that We got all these migrants coming in Let's use them for our entertainment

I don't know that there was ever like am, amnesty on the line for the bums, but that is a nice bonus, I suppose. Do you rule that out? Like, part of the future could be that's how you get in the country? Yeah, no. If you were to win a tournament. I'm not ruling anything out. And we get to watch it?

At all. All right. Let's. You're the champion. God, it's so weird. Here's Jay with the Dog Zone News. I think we're onto this. Yes.

Well, we did talk about it a little bit earlier, but we had four shark attacks in one day, dudes. All on one coast. They said it was one shark. The shark got away. Oh, it did? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Got to get Quint. There's a shark. What's you guys' relationship with the ocean? Because typically I'm pretty gung-ho I'm not beach guy at all At all I don't want to go Not even just to sit there

No Yeah, I'm not stoked on it I'm very pale I'll burn Yeah I don't want to get in the water It's dirty It's salty It's a lot of effort Yeah, I'm not stoked on it. I'm very pale. I'll burn. Yeah. I don't want to get in the water. It's dirty. It's salty.

It's a lot of effort. Yeah. Just getting the whole, getting the chairs ready and just the whole scene. My stepdad is so badass about that. Really? Coming from Ocean Guy, what's the payoff? The kids love it. That's the thing. They really, really like it. I've done it with the kids love it that's the thing it was they really really i've done it with the kids yeah all right and uh we'll get like a tarp so you can like dig out

a pretty serious situation and almost make like a pool on the beach right like you just put the tarp down water flows up into it and you basically just have a little pool and they will build sandcastles and the like. Yeah, I guess adding kids to it makes a difference because I don't want to just lay there in the sun. We have two tents. I don't want to lay outside. So you set up a tent. Two of them.

Is that the right word for it? In college, I was definitely a layout guy. You were? Oh, yeah. Why? It's a community pool. I would lay out. Me and the buddies would go out to the local lake or something and lay out.

Yeah. I mean, I like it. I have a hard time sitting down for more than 15 minutes at a time. So I have to get up and move around a little bit, but I enjoy it. But yes, the shark thing freaked me out this weekend. You would usually have been in the water. I did not imbibe that much on Thursday or Friday,

but Saturday I had a few pops, and at that point I'm going to get in the water. Is that the smart way to do it? Yeah, I think so. Seems dangerous. Wait till you get drunk. Yeah, I think so. But I mean, there are people out there that they will swim I don't know, I'm a very

poor judge of distance, but way, way beyond. Seems like a long way. Yeah, way beyond like where you can stand. What about the undertow? Yeah, pull you away. They're out there. Is that a real bit? Oh, yeah.

I've always been afraid of the undertow. You should be. You ever hear that, Blake? No. Apparently, it's some kind of... Maybe I should let Jake do it. It's some kind of current or something that it'll actually just suck you out. Yeah, and you really don't know until you're in it.

If you swim out too far, you can't swim back. Yeah, I'm all right. You won't eat outside even, right? Yeah, why would I want to do that? I like the surfing. That was fun. Are we going to do it again? You want to try surfing?

It's tough getting in that wetsuit, bro. Yeah, I'll film y'all. God, you suck. I might have outsurfed Jake. I'm not sure. I think you did. I think you did. Really?

My highs were a little bit higher than his highs, but his consistency was better. I have surprising coordination. Rodrigo. I wouldn't say it's surprising. Really? If you look at me, you're like, you would not think that guy's coordinated. Whenever I saw you just getting buckets at Ticket Basketball, I thought, you know what?

Dan's got something. So a man with over 100,000 followers on TikTok has been arrested for murder in Flower Mound. And this is what happens now. Now what? He got arrested for what? Murder. And he had 100,000 followers? On the talk.

That seems like a lot. Yeah, it definitely seems like a lot. Do we have a TikTok? We're working on it. You got a lot on your plate yeah i don't have a tiktok and i don't really get it i don't either and i thought it was being shut down or something china china what's going on there china but it's funny though the the headline just says popular tiktoker charged in north Texas shooting, woman hospitalized. Oh, okay.

Not murder. Attempted. Would they call us popular podcast hosts? This is kind of why I wanted to do this story. Like, what is the threshold for where when you do something that garners, like, negative attention, a crime. We're still former radio. I think you're probably right. Yeah. Like if we had 80,000 followers on Twitter but never had a regular media job, it would be like popular Twitter people.

But that's not where you made your mark. What will it take? I don't know, man. Do you want to be known as popular podcaster you want to somehow not be former this you want to be current hey I'm this yeah I think so yeah it's tough

sounds like Blake might have to do a crime test these waters yeah but see I'm not a former radio star or anything. What would my title be? Probably just

Wily Man. Wily Man, yeah, probably. I do think it's cool that they included his handles here and hyperlinked them. Oh, wow. So he's getting even more. Just in case everything turns out all right for him.

What's his name? Maybe he did this for that. On TikTok, it is... Maybe she's complicit. D-E-N-O-T-A-T-T-E-D. D-E-N-O? Yeah. Dino Tatted?

I don't really know, but... Is he really tatted? There are tattoos involved, yes. Maybe a grill? Perhaps. You're quite tatted yourself, Kara. That's correct. Not on this level.

You got double sleeves? What do you got going over there? I do. Never killed anyone, though. What was your first tattoo? Oh, it was stupid. I was 16. And what is it?

It was a bumblebee on the back of my neck. Just on the back of your neck, huh? Yeah. So nobody would really see it. Well, I've gotten it covered up since then. Unless we have like a moose. Oh, you've over tatted it. Yes.

How much have you spent on those tattoos over your whole life? I don't know, man. Approximately. That's a lot. Give me a ballpark. $20,000. No. No, maybe.

Ten. Ten altogether-ish. What's the last tattoo you got? I have one on my leg back here. He just got his first one just a couple weeks ago. You've never had a tattoo? It does look fresh. I'm a bad influence.

I got my first one at 50, and I've had two in the last month now. He's addicted. It is. It is. It happens. It's very addictive. What'd you get? What's so addicting? I got,

the first one I got is this one on the back of my leg that's a moth. That's badass. Yeah, it's pretty big for a first tattoo, yeah. It went hard. I got this one on my arm that's a gypsy star. Okay, so you just do whatever your wife does, huh? Yeah.

She told me to go, and I said, okay. Yes, ma'am. Whatever you said. Would you get her name on you somewhere? Is that in the plan? No, that's bad luck. Is it? I think so.

I thought about getting my kids' names on each one of my wrists, but I immediately thought about Dan and Blake making fun of me. Oh, look at this guy. He loves his kids. Didn't he make fun of your socks with your kids' faces? Yeah, he did. Yeah, they would make fun of him. He did.

In 2023, Dallas and Fort Worth ranked second and fourth in Texas, respectively, for... Cheating. Dog attacks on letter carriers. That's interesting. Yeah. Are there walking mailmen still?

Yeah, yeah, because what they do is, you never see that? They park, like, at one end of a neighborhood, and then they just... Oh, what a beating. Boy, not my guy. He's just putting along a neighborhood, and then they just... Oh, what a beating. Boy, not my guy. He's just putting along. Yeah, he'll drive and... Yeah. Dallas ranks seventh nationally.

Oh, because I guess they just don't have the mailbox at the street. Yeah. What are you saying? The people on foot probably have to go to the door. Does your neighborhood have mailboxes on the street? I'm thinking about your house. I don't think they do. The grapevine, no.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, so she's on AirPods the whole time. This seems like it would be a cool job. I think it would be. There's a guy who listens to us who's a mailman who tweets about it every now and then. I think I would enjoy anything with a route. Yeah. It's a guy who listens to us who's a mailman who tweets about it every now and then. I think I would enjoy anything with a route. Yeah.

It's a million degrees, though. Yeah, but you're outside every day. That's what I mean. That's why it sucks. But you'd be used to it. Sounds good for you, though. Yeah, that's what I've heard. You'd have a schedule.

Vitamin D. It's the giver of all life, Jake. But the dog thing, though, man. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think I'm... I don't think I'm adept at controlling a dog that's not mine. I see this with Kip and Bodhi to an extent. But like when I go to a friend's house and they're like, oh, he's

cool. I'm like, well, he doesn't seem cool. Yeah. No, like if somebody has a pit bull, I know it can sense the fear in me because I am very afraid of it. Even if they're like, oh, this is the friendliest guy, man. Yeah. Nah, he knows. He knows I'm different. You're a pussy.

Yeah, he knows he can get me. He knows I'm shivering right now. Yes. He knows I'm different. You're a pussy. Yeah, he knows he can get me. Yes. He knows I'm shivering right now. Yes. And then I'm acting cool like, oh, no, no, yeah. No, that's fine. No, I love dogs. Yeah.

I have one, too. It weighs three pounds. Or a big German shepherd or something. Yeah. And then, yeah, our final story here. We got this hurricane situation. Nearly one million Texans without power. So, wait.

Is that why it rained? It's been raining? Yeah, I felt bad over the weekend. Yeah. Because Friday evening, it was like in the 80s. Like, man, this feels great. Yeah, all these people are losing their homes. And then people in South Texas.

I didn't realize. Yeah, that's what Okay. Yeah. So a million people without power in the Houston and surrounding areas. Got Stephon Diggs though. Okay, bring it back to the Texans. So

Yeah, so your mom and stepdad are still, like, down there? They left. They were going to stay, like I said, they were going to stay until Tuesday, tomorrow. And they left maybe an hour after we did. They were like, we got to get out of here. And I went to the gas station yesterday morning, Sunday morning, just to fill up because I don't like to do that with a kid in the car. Everything battened down.

Windows are all, like, you know, the metal's up. Everything is hurricane prepped, the whole town. Did the Aggies put the – they boarded up the windows on the inside? Remember that? I do remember that, yeah. So I don't know. I don't know, like... Are they saying evacuate?

Yeah, there were signs everywhere that were like, get out now. And I went into the gas station, and you know how that is. Sunday morning gas station, you already... Even in normal times, you've got an old guy in there with his cup of coffee who wants to talk about the weather. Was it packed? There were probably four or five people in there. Yeah, they were buying all the eggs, all the milk.

Yeah. And, you know, they're like, we got to get on out of here. And some people are like, I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. Yeah. There's your news. All right. That was awesome.

The Dumb Zone News. Catching me off guard? Yeah. And subscribe. Bum, bum, bum, bum. The Dumb Zone presents Today in History. What day did I say it was? Do you guys remember?

July 8th. Was it kind of cool having that long of a break? Did you not know what day it was every day? There were a couple moments when it was like that, yeah. You? Yeah, I thought it was great. You know we can make our own schedule.

I miss you guys. I know, but we've set a standard for ourselves I was thinking about that too like there are podcasts that do like

one a week and they charge five bucks a month ridiculous we're kick ass aren't we yeah you guys agree

yeah we're over here turning people straight. This was pre-Dumb Zone, so you can't take credit for that. Maybe we'll turn you back. Maybe. You'll hate us so much. Today's Monday, July 8th. On this day in 1889, Jake Kilrain and John L. Sullivan fought the last bare-knuckle boxing championship fight ever.

Sully. Sully won by knockout in how many rounds? Don't play the millionaire thing. Why would I ever play the millionaire thing? That's ridiculous. Round 78. 52. Okay, actually.

Anybody else? I'm going to say 97. 63. Blake is the winner. 75 rounds. Wow. What a payoff. 75 rounds.

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have played that. In 1911 on this day, the worst game shows, if you're a kid and you want to do game shows, don't make the answer a number. Right. Because there's nothing fun about that. There's nothing funny.

Yeah. To just hear different numbers being guessed. If you're a kid. A little tip. On this day in 1911, cowgirl Two-Gun Nan Aspinwall

became the first woman to make a solo trip by horse across the United States. She arrived in New York ten months after departing San Francisco. And then you recall the story the next year because then she turned around and went back. And that was called

The First Ever Reverse Cowgirl. I like it. I like it. Hell yeah. Much funnier than a number. Yeah. Much funnier than a number. Yeah. Much funnier than a number indeed. So her name is Two-Gun Nan Aspinwall?

It's too long. Two-Gun Nan was her nickname. Oh, okay. I imagine her name was Nan. Okay. And then they just, why, what? I don't know. It's just a funny name.

It sounds extremely Vietnamese. Let's look her up. On it. Nan Aspinwall. I thought while at the rodeo that this is how bored we used to be of, hey, let's let this steer out and then wrestle it to the ground. Try and catch it, yeah. How fast can you do it?

Damn, I don't know, boys. And then she's just like dedicating a year to her life to just riding a horse across the country. Okay, it kind of depends on the photo, but some of these... Not bad? Not bad. Really? Not bad, Nan.

Yeah. Like I said, it depends on the photo. Oh, no. That first one, she can get it. Is she 1911 road across the United States hot? Yes. Okay. On this day in 1947, a New Mexico newspaper quoted officials at Roswell Army Airfield

saying they had recovered a flying saucer that crashed onto a ranch. Officials then actually said it was a said it was actually a weather balloon. There are many people who feel. Let's go. That is not the case. We could go through Roswell on our drive to Roswell. Roswell. For the fifth time.

But it would. It's a diversion. It would take us an extra three or four hours to get to California. For the guys who are driving. On the heels of the... We're having fun here. On the heels of the TMZ tour, I'm not sure that I can stomach that one. You're not about to make any calls?

It's fun, but it's like you see it for 10 minutes and you're like, okay. Oh, you've been there? Oh, many times. Many? Yeah, because it's on the way to where we used to go skiing, Riodosa. It's a tourist town. Every single restaurant, every single gas station, there's an alien outside. They're letting them through the border with shocking propensity.

On this day in 2010, this is the day that LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cavs to join the Heat. This is a decision. Jim Gray. We're at like a guy's join the Heat. This is a decision. Jim Gray. We're like a guy's night out somewhere. Guy's night out. Texas land and cow. That really did change everything. Agreed.

I mean, he is the reason for player empowerment, I would say. Yeah. And many bemoaned that and said it would be the ruining of the NBA. I mean, he is the reason for player empowerment, I would say. Yeah. And many bemoaned that and said it would be the ruining of the NBA. And whether you think that or not, it really did help bring the competitive balance that we see now. I agree. Across the league.

Like, I think I heard that this is only the second time ever that there have been six different champions in six years. Wow. And it used to be, yeah, you win a championship and you're probably going to win another one. At least two out of four or something. Yeah. On this day in 2018, this is the day that divers rescued four of the 12 boys who had been trapped in the flooded cave in Thailand with their soccer coach

for more than two weeks. Then the remaining eight boys and the coach were rescued over the next couple days. Back to Elon, right? Boy, who gets to go first? Yeah, I was going to say, how do you decide? The most feminine boy. Because women and children go first, right? Or maybe they were just like the smallest.

And the coach is like, I'll stay back here. I'll go last. Let's see if it works. And this is a day in 2019 that Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sexually abusing dozens of underage girls. He's going to spend the rest of his life in prison. Which would be one month or so. Oh, no. A medical examiner said his death was a suicide.

So, what can you do? Hey, I thought we had 24-hour watch on him. was a suicide. Hmm. So, what can you do? That's just... Hey, I thought we had 24-hour watch on him. Oh, he just fell asleep. Yeah. Oh, okay. Turned away for a minute. What about...

Is there no video? You know what? Someone unplugged it. You know how much we can... Oh. Someone unplugged it, so... That's tough. Today's birthdays include...

Groobs is 39. Hell yeah. Oh. Former Texas Ranger employee. Dallas Stars employee. Current, is he still with the Freak in Dallas? I believe so. Is he running the Ben and Skin show?

I believe so. Wang Zhuzhu is 47. Dan. I have his jersey. It's the only Mavs jersey I have, actually. What is Wong doing? Former star Rich Peverly is 42. He died.

He came back. He did come back. Former cowboy Matt McBriar is 45. Hunter? Mm-hmm. Jack Lambert is 72. Who's that, Blake? Steelers linebacker.

Wow. That's pretty good. Would not have had that on the board. Who's that, Blake? Steelers linebacker. Wow. That's pretty good. Would not have had that on the board. Why do you know that? Steel Curtain. I don't know. Joe Green is a big UNT guy. That's true.

Have you met me, Joe Green? Mm-hmm. Yeah, he came on a couple away game trips. Ugh. I bet he did. Was he nice or was he actually mean a couple away game trips. Ugh. I bet he did. Was he nice or was he actually mean? No, really cool. Really nice.

Really cool joker. Very... Yeah. Very surprised he talked to me. Yeah. Doesn't really have the ring to it, though, Dan. Yeah. Actor Jeffrey Tambor is 80.

I may have done some light treason. You heard him in today's Open? I think he got rang up pretty hard on the Me Too stuff. That wasn't Artie? That wasn't Rip Torn? From Larry Sanders, sure? It was Jeffrey Tambor? I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Jeffrey Tambor was on an FX or Hulu show, right? Anybody want to help me with this? Oh, yeah. I now remember. And I think he had some time to change. He's 80. He had not. Yeah.

Don't you have to have some kind of an age where you just kind of like... Statute of limitations on... Where you just kind of... Like, if your grandpa is really racist, you're like, eh. Yeah. That's grandpa. Yeah. Probably.

Are you, like, sort of pre-laying groundwork for yourself? No, I think I'm well under that. I don't think I'll make it. Wolfgang Puck is 75. Food? Celebrity chef. Kevin Bacon is 66. Honestly, criminally underrated.

Just because he's known for the bit? Yeah, I mean, I think people just think of him as a bit, but I think he's a really, really good actor. Hot. Hot? You think Kevin Bacon's hot? I think she's right. He's in Tremors.

He's great in Tremors. Toby Keith is 63? No, he's not. He's pretty dead. Oh, is he really? Mm-hmm. Yep. Ty liked that one. Toby Keith is 63 no he's not he's pretty dead oh is he really mmhmm tie like that one Dan marks that one

off the list not hot he wasn't no do you ever hear his Chris Christopherson story great you have

yes it's amazing. Let me see if I can pull it up. Do you think it's worth telling, Ty? Yes. I think you're either a Chris Christopherson person or a Toby Heath person. So they were playing

a birthday party together, Dan? And let's see. Toby Keith says to Christofferson, I don't want any of that lefty shit out there tonight. Christofferson says, what the fuck did you just say to me? He says, you heard me. Christofferson says, don't you turn your back to me, boy. Toby Keith turns around. I don't want any problems, Chris. I just want you to tone it down. Chris Christopherson, who had been in the military, said, you ever worn your country's uniform? Toby Keith said, what? Chris Christopherson says, don't want me, boy. You heard the question.

You just don't like the answer he paused just long enough to get a full chest of air I asked have you ever served your country the answer is no no you have not have you ever killed another man have you ever taken another man's life and then cashed the check your country gave you for doing it

no you have not so shut the fuck up so you have like actual guy who has been in war And killed people But he's like left leaning And then like the boot in your ass guy Yeah Who's like right leaning

But That's a good trump card to play Yeah Like yeah I've killed somebody For this And it's probably because Like he was drafted He was drafted

He didn't have anything to do with it But You get to play it For the rest of your life. You get to play it, yeah. And if you want to be booting your ass guy, and you haven't, then you probably should be careful who you boss around. Are you going to read the punchline? Go ahead.

Christofferson then looked at, I'm guessing, the narrator of this article. He says, you know what Waylon Jennings said about guys like him? He said, they're doing to country music what pantyhose did to finger fucking. That is the punchline. Yes, I did leave that part out. Janice Pennington is 81. She was... Speaking of a different time,

she was one of Barker's beauties. Price is Right. What did they do away with that? She got in Playboy. Oh, really? I don't know. But certainly that's a victim of the Me Too era, right? They're sitting around with their ticket chicks and...

I don't remember it even being... Do you still have Bud Light girls going out to bars? When you go to a bar? Just some hot walking around trying to give you a sample of something? I don't think so. I don't think so, yeah. Now it's energy drinks. Actor Maya Haw Hawk is 26.

Hawk. Ethan Hawk's daughter. You know her from Stranger Things, season three, of course. Smoke Monster. Beck is 54. Again, very underrated. And actor Billy Crudup is 56. Why do I know that name?

You probably know him at first from Almost Famous. But... But? Really? He's much more important impactful I think from the Apple television program The Morning Show. Oh my god. With Jennifer Aniston and

Reese Witherspoon. Was he actually just in love with Reese? That was a tough one, huh? Yeah, of course. Great character. He's fantastic. Born on the Stay Now Dead, John David Crowe. He won the Heisman.

He was an Aggie. And he was a Browns coach at one point. Rune Arledge, who invented Monday Night Football, and... How do you invent that? Well, Monday Night Football didn't exist before Rune Arledge said, hey, let's put a game on Monday night.

Let's play on Monday. Okay. I guess. Look it up. Alfred Swearengen, born on this day, he was known for running a notorious brothel called the Gem Theater in Deadwood, South Dakota. I honestly never thought that his name was Alfred. Yeah.

That's a really... I feel like I'm making today the day of underrated. That's a great show. It's a great show. It looks kind of weird when you go back and watch it now. The cinematography is a little bit lacking, but story-wise, it's great. Died on this day. We have Pete Conrad.

Died on this day in 1999. He was the third man to walk on the moon. I just feel like you should know it. There's only been like a dozen. Okay. And we should know their names. Awesome. Wait, what was the space thing we had earlier today? Space Force. Space Force. Big theme today.

Rosie Ruiz, who cheated and won the Boston Marathon in 1980. Ken Stabler. Davey. And died on this day in 2022, Tony Sirico. Ravens. He was Pauly Walnuts.

Thank you, Blake. And thank you, Ty. The Sopranos. The great Pauly Walnuts. We should do a full rewatch. I've been thinking about it. I know. That's such a mountain to climb, dude.

I know, but it gives you something to do. I'm almost completely caught up on the bear. They're an hour each. I thought about doing the rewatch and then listening to Christopher's podcast. Yeah. I don't know if I have that amount of juice in me. Plus, like, with the WNBA picking up right now. It's really funny, man.

Just online discourse about the WNBA exists all the time now. And it's... Are you happy to not have to pay attention to that anymore since you're not a lesbian? and it's are you are you happy to not have to pay attention to that anymore since you're not a lesbian

fuck never really into it to be honest like it's kind of amazing just to see yeah the votes in the all-star game

I guess the leading vote getter last year got like 70,000 votes yeah and it's like and now Caitlin Clark has like 600,000 yeah and people are fighting about

her stats with Angel Reese. Yeah. I'm like, okay, I guess. And she was snubbed from Team USA. It's a black versus white. It's a culture war for sure. Culture war. Angel Reese is kind of hot.

Kaitlyn Clark is not, but everyone keeps saying that she is. Yeah, you're stretching it there, bro. Big time. Big time. Anyway, you guys ever hear our closing remarks? That's kind of what we're at now. We're in that zone.

Tell me more about these closing remarks. Yeah, it's where It's your time to shine. our esteemed guests. It's kind of the place that we've landed on. I don't know.

Everything we've done has been a bit organic. Don't you think? Like, remember trying, let's do some news like early, real early in the show and then we just kind of didn't feel that and it feels better kind of here.

And then kind of the same thing as early in the show it would be a little heavier on the 690 sit-in guests and, you know, Reddit perhaps played a part in this. I hate it. Huh? Reddit hates us, right? I don't know.

Are you on Reddit? No. Not really. Okay. I thought you were now checking it every day. I looked at it one time. Okay. One time.

But we have gifts? Yeah. Do you want to go with some closing remarks and I'll grab the gift? Just get the gift. I'll get the gift. What do we got, Kara? What do we got for closing remarks? I just want to say that I like the length of those shorts.

He's got the thighs out a little bit. What are those, sevens? Yeah. I like them. In Kara's email, I forgot to mention this. He's a good looking man. He's hot. Oh, he's great. He's a good looking man. He's hot. Oh, he's great.

He would turn me un-gay. I was going to say, yeah. I mean, I do like ladies. Yeah, but. Right? You understand what liking ladies is all about? Me? I thought you were looking at Blake.

No, I'm looking at you. Yes, I do. You're on my wavelength here. But then you look over here at this guy. Does the woman that you leave for a man, how do they take that? Did you leave a woman for Ty? I did.

Because I've always thought... I mean, she can't compete, though. That's the thing. Are you upset about that? Like, if my wife left for a woman, would I be like... What can you do? She didn't take it well. No? I mean... Well, probably because... the relationship was kind of a disaster before he came along apparently hooking up with him while you're kind of still with her

that's how you don't take it well i mean she's not gonna listen to this that's okay i'm just the psychology of it is interesting i'll cut out anything you want me to cut out. You don't have to cut out shit. All right. Just as far as, you know. Ty's name. I think I would be less upset. Oh, yeah. I'd just be like, you know, charge it to the game. I mean, that's 100%. You would be less upset if your wife left you for a woman?

Yeah, I think so. Okay. Because she was more upset. She left you for Blake. That would be upsetting. That's an absolute worst case scenario. Very big step down. Okay, just think so. Okay. Because she was more upset. Then she left you for Blake. That would be upsetting. That's an absolute worst case scenario. Very big step down. Okay, just some guy.

Guy at work. She was more upset that I left her for a man. Really? Yeah. Like, not only are you leaving me, you jumped off the team. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Had you been with a dude in the past? Mm-hmm. Okay. yeah had you been with a dude in the in the past okay i was married to a man a long time ago which is i have a few interviews with corby where he stepped in a bear trap because the man that i was married to passed away and did you kill him then you went to ladies a damn sure did no um few years later, yeah. What was your first hookup with a lady? How old were you?

College? Maybe 19. Okay. Yeah, something like that. It's kind of unfair how, like, females are allowed to do that, but, like, if me and you just, like... Yeah, and if we just talked about it now, like, oh, remember when we had that just hookup when we're 19 and then you're just gay right yeah but what if you and i just like vibe yeah that is unfair but if it was you just messing around with your friend we're like oh that's cool yeah in fact

it's pretty awesome actually way better than uh anything, it makes you a lot hotter. If your wife said, you know what? Yeah, I hooked up with a girl in college. Yeah. You'd rather hear that for sure. I think so. It's just, you know what it is?

It's yet again another way that the world works against the white man. Right. That's right. The straight white man. Yeah. It says here, Kara is on her tag here, Kara is a,

on her tagline, on her email, whatever you call that, business execution consultant. Oh, I sent it. That feels like. Huh?

Yeah, I sent it from the work email. But about to be something different. I was just thinking though. We, we need to execute this stuff. We could use consulting. I can execute. I'm good at business i'm a consultant yeah that's just all three of the words yeah i'm breaking it down for you yeah that does

not seem like you explained anything i'm an account manager is basically what it means okay well it looks really impressive. Thanks. On your business card. Thank you. More than, like, what do we say? Dumb Zone Podcast. Right.

What are we doing now? Gifts. Gifts. Yeah, we were killing time waiting for Ty to get back over here. This is for Dan, a.k.a. Big Mac. Was that you, Dan? What? It was. Good grief.

It does say a.k.a. Big Mac on the thing. All right. Let's unwrap this guy. That's what she said. I'm not doing that. It appears to be a... bobblehead of

Lee Corso. What is he wearing? Straight to the studio. Fantastic. Yeah, that's nice. How do you get a Lee Corso bobblehead? You don't have to answer. That's rhetorical.

Just hand that. We do have, there's one for you that is delayed in the mail a little bit later. I'll show you what it is. This is for Blake Jones. Blake Jones. I guess you didn't know how much time this is what you're getting. Since you hate introducing yourself. She booked this thing in advance.

we found a Blu-ray player. True. It says... I'm really more of a laser disc guy. I wanted to bring the 9-11 memorial to you, so I found the cheapest thing ever and brought you a pencil sharpener for business Wednesdays.
