Good morning, good morning, good morning, Kevin McCarthy, and welcome to another Dumb Zone Rewind, Dumb Zone Wrap-Up, Re-Zone, whatever you want to call it. Thank you for tuning in. My name is Blake Jones, and I'll take you back through the week that was in the Dumb Zone. Those familiar with the program, this will flow like a normal show, taking segments from each day of the week, plus some smaller bits to get you caught up on the show. Like I mentioned last week, don't really need to tease what's on the show. You can see the chapters.

But I will update you on the goings on for us over the next week or so. We get on the DZ RV on Sunday, somewhat bright and not too early as we head west for California. and not too early as we head west for California. Those interested in meeting up along the way, we will be stopping in Amarillo around lunchtime on Sunday, stopping at Six Car Pub and Brewery. We'd love to see you Sandys out there. Then stopping that night in Albuquerque.

Don't have a place picked out for dinner just yet, but hit us up if you're out there, thedumbzoneatgmail.com. Night two, we'll stop in Bullhead City, Arizona, wherever the hell that is. And finally, Oxnard on day three. Interested in meeting up with us at any time along the trip, don't hesitate to reach out. Okay, let's get this started the way we normally do. Let's get a weekend check. And for that, we go back to Monday at Zoli's Pizza, where the great Julie Dobbs joined the program. All right, weekend check.

I got a brief thing that actually happened late last week, but I forgot to tell you guys about it. So I'm going to pretend that it happened over the weekend. Recently got my oil changed. Very exciting. Oh, look at this guy. Let's see that contract. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I waited.

I didn't even get to like 10,000 miles before I did it either. So I got my oil changed at a place. It's supposed to be three. Nah, it's five. Talk to a car person. They'll tell you five. The oil change place puts a sticker at three. So the place I go to, you don't have to get out of your car, which is pretty sweet.

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

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

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

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

She had like a buzz cut. She was built like a fire hydrant. And she was the mechanic that i was going to deal with and i'm like okay yeah i got a likely very manly woman lesbian mechanic so she starts working on it and then i realize when i pop the hood which i had trouble with where is it so so then the woman that starts working on the at the hood the original lady was a white lady. This lady was a black lady. She was also, I'm not as good at spotting other races of lesbians.

She was definitely also a lesbian. Okay, wait. So you're really good at spotting white lesbians? I just have more experience with this. When it's a non-white lesbian, you're just not sure? Trust me, I'm pretty sure. Okay. So she's working on it.

And then I look over at the bay next to me, and a very similar situation is taking place to a guy in a Lexus SUV, white, butch, lesbian, and a black lady who was, I would say, of the same persuasion. And it occurred to me, there are no men at this auto shop. Wow. persuasion. And it occurred to me, there are no men at this auto shop. And then boss comes in, the manager, the head honcho. She's just like a different version of the mechanic wearing a white shirt instead of the gray one that they. So I was telling TC about this and he was like, dude, if that's the lady in charge, this might be like the Aggies or the Mormons where they just hire

from within. And she built this entire shop. There's no men. That's great. It is great. And I actually felt kind of cool about the fact that I knew she was the one ripping me off rather than some guy, you know, named James who could kick my ass. Yeah. Not to say she couldn't kick my ass.

Ladies can do anything. They could even rip you off. Yeah. Yeah. And they're all laughing at me as I'm in my little car, like, texting, got my little vape. That's great. So you think they were ripping you off, though? They're all ripping you off.

I don't know. I feel like a bunch of ladies would be honest. What? We're just more honest than y'all. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. We are. But she definitely upsold me, and I was proud to do it. I was proud to get taken.

By a woman? By a lady that kind of looked like Bill Parcells. That's great. And next time you bring your daughter there. See, honey? You can ref the non-playoff NBA games and you can change oil. And you can be a mechanic. Yeah, it was embarrassing.

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

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

She was my age. She was our age, so she was a college student. And they had her speak to us because she was a lesbian. That was her whole. That was the defining feature. Yeah, if she was on TV, you know, underneath her face, it would have said lesbian right there. Yeah, that was her title.

The wild thing that she brought to the table. She's just like, look, I'm not the only one on campus. You're like, what? She's like, we. She described gaydar without saying gaydar. Maybe that hadn't become a term yet, but she just said, you know, but I'll notice others. And as we're walking by, you know, I'll lock eyes and she'll, you know, give it a little knowing nod. I nod.

And like, we all, and I'm like, whoa. Yeah. It's like the Jeep wave. Yeah. With a Harley. It's like the Jeep thing, but for lesbians. Right. I like it.

For ladies who don't like wieners. Although maybe all ladies don't really like wieners, but they put up with it. I've seen documentaries to the contrary. Oh, okay. Documentaries, or are you watching something where they're being paid to like wieners? Jewelry. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Anyways, that's my weekend kind of happened on the weekend.

You're going to big time me when I mention it. But y'all talk about it all the time. Is that your weekend check? Yeah, I think so. Okay. I didn't do much else. You didn't go to a show? Oh, yeah.

I forgot about that. I did go to a comedy show on Saturday night. Nick Bolin. And I saw him last year. Southern Miss quarterback. No, not the 49er quarterback. And I was kind of worried that it was going to be the same set because I saw him late last year and it was entirely new.

And it was great. What's his name? Nick Mullen. He used to host a podcast called Come Town. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And I forced myself to go to the late show and yeah. Boy, the late show. I know. It was Yeah. And I forced myself to go to the late show and, yeah. Boy, the late show, yeah.

I know. It was tough. What's the late? What time? 9.30 and it was over at 11. So I was home by close to midnight. Yeah? Not too bad.

It was in downtown Fort Worth. But, yeah. The guys I was with were like, let's go. Let's go out. And I'm like, dude, I am no chance. I'm barely awake right now. Getting old is hard. Yeah.

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

The opener, the host was good. The feature was good. And Nick, he's like one of the funniest people in my world. Yeah. I feel like 25 of his 50 minutes were on 9-11. Oh. So you know that place. Yeah, you like that.

Isn't it weird to hang out with a bunch of guys who want to party, but you don't? Yeah. I run into that all the time these days. Like, you know, they want to go out. Who are you hanging out with? Party guys. Even when I go out or meet jake or whatever it's usually

like oh these guys want to you know drink and everything after and i don't or if we go to training camp you guys are wanting you know let's uh let's go pound a few beers and i'll be like then you're just there and you're the guy not drinking and then everybody else is kind of, you know, you can see as the drinking increases, everybody becomes, to them, more fun, and to you, just more, I want to just get out of here. Yeah. So, do you ever want to party? That's a serious question. I have recently taken to, in the stream world, when we do the cowboy games.

Okay. He had a couple white claws. A couple white claws, eh? I think I'm increasing things. Don't. All right. Don't. No, it's hard to start drinking, Jake.

But we've never done that. It's interesting. Yeah, that sounds like a real problem. I'm trying to ramp up and drink a little more each day. Okay. Well, good for you. Keep working on it. He had a great time. I did. Until the each day. Okay. Well, good for you. Keep working on it. He had a great time.

I did. Until the next morning. Right. Like, we were on the stream, and I was like, man, I can't believe I haven't drank in a while. This is great. And yes, the next day I realized, this is why I don't do that drinking.

You had a two-white-claw hangover? It's unbelievable. Julie's shaming you. I'm sorry. Julie is shaming me. That's why you have to keep drinking. Because Julie drinks all the time. You've got to out-drink her now.

This is what alcoholics do. They just make fun of you so that you'll join them and get down to the gutter like they are. I'm not an alcoholic. Oh, hey, no. Of course you're not. I could quit any time. I just like giving you crap because it is interesting. I've never really sat around and had a few with you.

All right. Well, let's do it this year. I've done that with most people I've worked with. Maybe we should do it today. Why not? There's a bar. There is a bar here at Zoli's Pizza in Addison. That's right.

Where they want to give you that hot tua. So, my weekend. Of course, you remember that my wife was out of town, but then she came back to town. So, that's a yay boo. Now, this week, we do look forward to Wednesday. She works at a school, and school starts Wednesday. Oh, all right. This morning.

All right. Back to work. This morning, as I'm navigating my way around her in the kitchen because I'm trying to get my frozen blueberries out of the freezer to put them in my oatmeal. Do you think Dan's chill about that? Or as he's passing, is he like, oh. Again, I don't want to meet in the middle on things.

I just want to do the thing I want to do. And now she's in my way. My God, look at that pizza. And I was very excited. Standing in her own home. I just remembered she'll be going to work on Wednesday because she told me last night and I said oh, that's terrible.

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

And I was thinking when we used to exercise and work out, it was because I want to get better at baseball, and I'm going to do things to increase my forearm strength. Or if you're, you know, whatever your sport is, I'm going to try. I need my more burst, so I'm going to practice this or whatever. Now, last time I was at the trainer, he had me do something he called the suitcase carry. Have you ever done this? Yes.

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

I was thinking, I'm built for this now. I've been to the gym three times this week. I train just for this moment. Yes. Because I was out of breath a little bit. Like I would now get out of breath to where my apple watch will like do the thing looks like you're working out and i'm washing dishes or something like wait no yeah um that's always tough like mine will ask you like what

what strain were you doing and i was just like uh like i was just holding a kid yeah it's kind of i don't see that on the list yeah so instead of training to be better at sports these days, I now train to barely get by in everyday life. Like anybody should be able to carry a suitcase up the stairs. It's functional fitness. But now I can actually do it. So if you have any suitcases, bring them on out here and I'll demonstrate. You can load up the RV for us.

Yeah. Load up the RV for us at 650. You can be luggage man. That's right. You can be luggage man. I will be able to load up the RV for us at 650. You can be luggage man. That's right. You can be luggage man. I will be able to load up the RV. I got a complaint about my local bagel shop. Uh-oh.

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

We got there at 10 minutes till noon. Me and my daughter will go get a bagel on the weekend. I like the Nova Lox. Okay. The salmon. Yeah, you and your salmon. And 10 minutes till noon, they close at 2. They're out of plain bagels.

Wow. And I said, you got any more in the oven? Wait a little. The baker left at 11. Oh, no. I'm like, okay. And I wanted to say, well, that's not a YP.

And then I thought, yes, it is. Yeah, it's very much a YP. Not an MP. It's a YP. But no, it is an MP because now I'm, they're just telling,

and now I'm just talking to the, she doesn't have anything to do with it. Yeah. She's in high school. Yeah. But now I'm just talking to the – she doesn't have anything to do with it. Yeah. She's in high school. Yeah. But now I'm starting to feel like I want to do – my inner Karen is starting to emerge. Yeah. And my daughter gave me the, just get the poppy seed, get the whatever.

And I'm like – Yeah. But – I would think noon might be when he could be done. And then they have enough to take you into like the 1 o'clock hour. But, yeah, I mean, that's how it is. That's how it is at like meat places. What do you mean?

Yeah, I mean like barbecue places. Like most places when they run out, it's done. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I mean, they make it overnight, you know. They're smoking a brisket. Really fancy, like famous ones that can do that.

They're pretty much all of them. They get really popular, and they know people will come form a line, and then when they're done, they're done. I didn't realize that. The bagel place, who's supposed to be there for bagels. Bake the bagel, though. Do what? You've got to bake the bagel, though.

That takes time. Maybe the baker had a family emergency, you asshole. Well, no. That location I've been to many times where this has happened. I'm a science apologist over here. The Colleyville one, you could walk in at two minutes until two. Yeah. And they've always got a plain bagel.

Well, yeah. It's like you have one job. Serve bagels. Have bagels. What a struggle. Give people bagels. Yeah, you can't go to McDonald's and they don't have a Big Mac. Right.

You're going to try and ride that out for three hours with no plain bagels? I'm on Team Dan on this one. You can't tune into Bits and Tits and then not see any juggage. Right. I bet you are a Karen. I'm really not. Every once in a while, though. My wife's kind of a Karen, and I like it.

You need a Karen. Certain things. Sometimes you need to have your Karen with you and I like it. You need a Karen. Certain things. Like, sometimes you need to have your Karen with you. I don't want to be the Karen. No. I want someone else, though, to start yelling for me. Yeah. Yeah.

It's good to have that friend. I don't know. I'm usually very kind and understanding and appreciative, but if it's something that I feel like I can really get behind, I'll go full Karen. Like, something that I feel like they're really wrong and I'm really right. I'm not afraid. Two things I've noticed this weekend that, one, you have talked about before, but now I'm really noticing it.

The one that you've not talked about is, have you guys seen the return of the baby on board sign? Yeah. Do you know what the baby on board sign is? Yeah, it means you're not supposed to crash your car into them because they have a sign. Yeah. Do you know what the baby on board sign is? Yeah, it means you're not supposed to crash your car into them because they have a kid. Yeah, but that was a big thing when I was growing up, the baby on board.

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

I was actually going to wreck into your car and make you call the Frankels, but there's a baby in the car, so I'm going to take it easy here. Yeah, or I'm not going to carjack that car. Yeah, right, because I don't want the extra cargo. Yeah, that makes sense. But it's kind of like the people that put the, like, drive like your kid lives here sign out there. And it's like, well, you know, I was thinking about going really fast,

but, yeah, my kid lived there. It always made me laugh if, I've said this before, but if, like, Casey Anthony saw one of those signs. Is that the lady who drowned her kids? Oh, dear. And she just, like like hits the gas. Yeah, I wanted them gone. Dan, did you drive differently when your kids were in the car?

I do. But I drive like a baby anyways. I mean, once they started getting old enough to notice, I didn't because like I'm worried about their safety. Yeah. But once they would know that I'm driving, hey, you shouldn't drive like a maniac or you shouldn't. Yeah. Yeah, the first few months I drove a little slower with Brooks in the car, but now I don't.

And whenever I'm hauling ass, I'll look back and see him like, I probably shouldn't be doing this. A little reminder. Yeah. But it doesn't stop. He's holding on for dear life. It is weird, though, when they start correcting you and they know more about driving and directions than you do. He knows when I blow through a yellow light now.

He does? Oh, yeah. What are you doing? I don't want to stop. It's a yellow light. It's a yellow light with a child's life on the line. Oh, my gosh. What happened to this guy?

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

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

They're very popular in your neighborhood. And I got kids now, like 12-year-olds in our neighborhood are driving around on them. At like 30 miles an hour. Like, wait. What's going on here? They bypassed the whole learning to ride a bike thing. They bypassed the exercise. They kind of have to know how to balance it.

Yep. Yeah, you're not even getting an exercise. I'm dealing with it right now with my 9-year-old because he doesn't want to learn how to ride a bike because he's seen that there's an easier way on the electric scooter or the electric bike. We're so screwed. Yeah. We are. We're so hot.

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

There's like a gang of, like, 13-year-olds back there with electric bikes. And they have cool clothes, shiny neon clothes. They're zooming around. They're not wearing helmets, which bothers me. A lot of times they have the helmet tied to the handles because their mom made them leave with it. But then they're like, whatever, mom. Do you ever stop and say anything to them?

Put on your helmet, kid. No, I get out of the way. I just don't want any smoke with a 13-year-old affluent child on an e-bike. Oh, my gosh. No, no. No, gosh. No, no. No, sir. No, sir. Weekend check?

So I'm developing a theme here because I've let you guys in that I'll read a rom-com book on you. I've put Brooks in gymnastics. You went to the... I went to a Lindsey Stirling concert by myself. Yep. Do you know who that is? Yes, and I heard this, and I fully support you.

Thank you. I knew who she was. I don't think I needed that. Oh, no way. You support him? I do. I probably wish you would have said it and know who that was. I support Blake in this.

And she's hot, right? Yeah. We don't do that. Like, you didn't... What is wrong with you? What are you, misogynistic? What happened to him? No, Dan's right. You're being misogynistic. Yeah, it's wrong, Julie. We don't object to that. Like you didn't see. What is wrong with you? What are you, misogynistic? What happened to him? No, Dan's right. You're being misogynistic.

Yeah, it's wrong, Julie. We don't objectify women. He's already frowned upon me for mentioning porn, saying that a girl is hot, and going through a yellow light since we started this show. Just try to take it easy. Take it easy. And Dan's calling you an

alcoholic. Yeah. Sorry, Blake. What'd you do now? Strap on? I took Brooks to a play. What play? Big Fish. Oh, okay.

Yeah, the one that Beth was talking about. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, she invited us to it. And when I looked it up, it's the Wiley Acting Group, so like right next door to me. And it said, Wiley Acting Group for Children. So I thought, maybe this is like a kid's thing, because it says children. Mm-hmm.

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

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

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

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

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

They did. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It's like real trippy. Yeah. Is it? I thought. I don't know.

I've never seen it. Yeah. I need to watch it. So, yeah. I took Brooks to a play. My sister has been out of town all weekend, and I wanted to drive her electric vehicle, so I drove a Tesla around all weekend. Cyber truck?

No. Nice. Just a normal Tesla. How was it? I'm really interested in the EVs. I'm thinking about getting one, but I kind of hated the way that I felt people were looking at me in a Tesla. We should get one, put our logo on it, and it'll be the DZ EV. Good God, this guy's on fire.

No? This guy has been in the marketing lab all weekend just on fire. But just driving around town, parking, the doors open like this and not like this. Yeah. And I don't know. I felt weird. I've seen Teslas that actually have like an anti-Elon sticker on the back. Like, no, dude, I'm cool.

Care about the environment. I'm cool. It has nothing to do with him. Jeez. Because there are some people that are like in the cult. You know, they buy it because of him. Right. I will never not laugh when I see one of those Cybertrucks, though.

I saw one on the way here today, and I'm just like, what are you doing? Someone took a picture of one in a Jack in the Box drive-thru. That is America right there. That is America. I told you they got one painted like a Browns helmet in Cleveland, I saw. A Cybertruck? Yeah. Okay.

We need to find it. We're going to find that. Yeah, what would it take, Blake, for us to give you a dumb zone car rap? Maybe like a QR code on here or something. Yeah. All of our faces. We should look into this. Sure.

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

Lucid hit the craziest overkill I've ever seen. I don't want to hear it. On live fire. I just don't want to hear it. Killed one elbow, then got a one-shot guy in dummies, came back, bought him tower, got him. Are you bringing your Nintendo? And then hit a no-scope at top tower. Are you bringing your Nintendo on the RV?

I'm bringing my Xbox and playing NCAA. Where? I don't know. Do I need to bring a screen or a monitor? No, there's a TV. There's a TV on the RV. Yeah. It's the DZ TV. The DZ RV TV. Okay, now that one didn't hit.

So, are you going to hook it up at the Airbnb? Yes. I have a week and a half away from my wife and kid. We're not going to bond? Doing what? You just said you don't drink. Yeah, but I mean, I don't know.

Let's just hang out. Let's go surf. Let's go to the beach. Y'all are going to have to set some screen time limits on Blake. We'll have to set a timer like with my daughter. Yes. You got three minutes. No, no, no.

It's the third quarter. It's the third quarter. Come on. Wrap up your game, bud. Come on. It's two-minute warning. Family vacation. This is not what we're here for, Blake.

The last thing for you. I made something for our social medias that I wanted to play on the show. Okay. Because I was really really proud of it. Thanks to Dan, I now understand the reference. Oh.

Do you remember in Office Space when they destroyed the printer? Yes, everyone does. Well, I didn't until like four months ago because I'd never seen it. Office Space is a really good movie, by the way. It's got the Blake seal of approval.

And so a DZer recommended that we should set us destroying a microwave to the theme. Like just recreate the scene. And for those that haven't seen it, let's watch just a little bit of the printer scene from Office Space. And so they'd had, the printer kept jamming, and they just hated it.

PC load letter. Yes. PC load letter? What's PC load letter mean? And so then it's just like two minutes of feeding the crap out of this printer. Everyone's wanted to do it. Well, y'all kind of just did this with the microwave, right? Yeah, and so someone recommended we do that.

So then we did. All right, so let's play the other one. Play the microwave one. Okay, when I saw this, I didn't realize it was the exact same music. Yeah, it's good. Because Jake took... By the way...

This is so painful to watch for so many reasons. Jake is chainsawing our microwave, which was on fire at the same time. So stupid. I had weights that I was throwing at it. And so I made it slow-mo, just like office space. That's pretty badass. I was just super proud of this video. Yeah, you should be.

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

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

That did not happen. It was that guy. present in their toilet? That did not happen. It was that guy. That guy did it. That did not happen. Yes, that did once happen. Got some great feedback from some listeners about EVs. Thank you very much if you reached out. But a quick follow-up.

I did watch the full movie version of Big Fish and thought it was enjoyable. Now, I did battle between just being in of Big Fish and thought it was enjoyable. Now, I did battle between just being in the moment and enjoying the movie and putting my thinking cap on and dissecting it, but I came away with one kind of big thought. The theme of the movie is don't let details get in the way of a good story. I guess the theme is largely what you decide to make of it. But I couldn't help think that Jerry Jones is

Edward Bloom the main character things happen to Jerry and he's going to fantasize it into a story that fits him or his narrative recently I can remember he wanted to re-sign Randy Gregory then somehow that got fumbled along the way and then he tells us that hey two signing two players are better than one they get stomped in the playoffs the last two years, but right at the top of the league in regular season wins and revenue. Jerry is happy running his team and controlling the story of his own fairy tale. If you spend time chasing facts or caring about this football team, you're wasting your time.

You can either take the story at face value and enjoy it and the source, or you should probably just choose another team to root for. I don't know why that was my first thought as the movie ended but just watching this old man take probably normal stories and try to make them into a grandeur uh it just it just really reminded me of jerry for some reason happy to hear what you think about the movie or my little crackpot theory blake at noctions.com. There's my big fish review. And here's Dak Prescott saying he's pretty much sick of Edward Bloom 2. This from our Monday episode as well. It of course starts

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

oh, Jane, it's good to see you and I guess you brought Elf with you. Right. This old man, creepy all the time. But I thought this was a really good question by Ducey at the end

and this is how the interview ended. I think it's something we all think about. Let me wrap with this. It occurs to me that you're almost the exact same age as President Biden.

I think you're a month exact same age as President Biden. I think you're a month older. He's made a decision about his future to step away. Does it ever cross your mind at all to say, you know what, I don't have to deal with a lot of this stuff. We've got more money than I could ever spend. I just want to enjoy life in a different way. Not in the least, not in the least. I'd be sitting someplace if I didn't get to be sitting here with the two of you. I'd be sitting someplace away from this camp. I'd be so sick. I'd be so wistful. I'd be so much wanting to be in the game and I'd be so much wanting these problems I'm dealing with. And you raking me over the coals, I'd want that so bad. You know that other stuff that just sitting on your butt, that gets old quick.

Gets old real quick. Matter of fact, when you get shot at a lot and you have to work a lot, when you do get a chance sit on your butt, it feels better. It really is a respite from that time. But to do it all the time, no thank you. No, not at all. And I'll be very candid with you. I'm more excited. I'm more fired up than I

can ever remember being when I first bought the Cowboys. And I want to go and I want to be a part of a winner. He's never going anywhere. No. He'll die in his office at the start. Yeah. We knew this, though, right?

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

I mean, I'm sure we all think about it a lot. Like, if you could just retire, like, if you had the means to live very well and just retire, like, what would you do? Because I can tell you what my dad does. Never stops doing shit. Yep. Constantly. Every time I call him, he's got some fire he's putting out

or he's, you know, he just never relaxes because he just, he did it for 38 years and now he's just like, I don't know, what am I supposed to do? You come up with projects.

All the time. And maybe if he owned a UPS, he'd still be day to day. You know? Maybe it's a different thing if you're just... Maybe. You're doing your own thing

or working for the man and you're just trying to get out from under the oppressive thumb of the man. But anyways, I thought that was an interesting way to frame that question. Yeah, so I have a few DAC cuts for you here. I just put another one in there too that's labeled three. So this is from last week. We weren't on. so of course he's going to be asked about the contract and blah blah blah blah but i also want you to pick up on a new

deck uh crutch phrase and buzzword which you'll hear pretty quickly you want the one you just put in? No, zero first. Okay. Yeah. I'm just here so I don't get fined. Honestly, I don't. I'm focused on now. He was asking me how do you think to say about his contract. It's always been my message. I think I've always told you all that. I'm about being present where my feet are. And honestly,

that was kind of the team message. That's what's great is from Chad Bolin to Mike McCarthy to everybody. That's kind of just been our message. And so that's right aligned with my views, what I want to do. Okay. Where my feet are. Is that what his – Yeah, he says that a lot.

Yeah. A lot of people say that. I know. It's like a therapy term for being present and being in the moment. But he's clearly – He's clearly worked this into his daily lexicon. So they're cut one, Dan. Focusing on those little things that, yeah, you can embrace your time.

You can embrace where your feet are. And before you know it, you're just day after day getting better. Now, this is a question. How could he embrace that? He's making $40 million. He's about to be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. That's really weird that you would embrace this. Right.

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

Be fans or don't be fans. If you're a fan, you're going to turn the page just as we do. You're going to move forward understanding that you've got better ahead of you. I just talked about being present and being in the now and that's in your beliefs, that's whoever you're believing in, that's how you see your family, your friends, your favorite team. So that goes to life is to move on. Yeah, sorry obviously but nobody, it hurt us more than it did them, and obviously it's on us to get back and to do better. But, yeah, move on. Wow.

Not a good answer. Not a great answer at all. Not what fans want to hear. He's right, but any time you get into the it's worse for us than it is for you and the move on. I mean, he's right. If you're a fan, be a fan. It's part of the deal. It's fanatic, but that's a bad answer.

No, you have to say they have every right to be. We haven't lived up to your expectations. There are expectations too. I will not rest until we do. Yeah, and for Dak, who usually says the right thing, he's a very boring guy. Yeah. He's not funny, despite the fact that everybody laughed at what he first said. You know, it's odd that he didn't say that.

I mean, when Romo said, you know, if this is the worst thing, he's right. But you can't say that. Yeah. I mean, obviously you can. You have to play the game if you're the quarterback of the Cowboys. Yeah, you just want your – yeah, you want – they're all in the game and everybody wants to believe that you care more than – I don't know. Well, here's the thing, and you can skip to the third cut

for this one that I put in there. What I'm telling you is Dak is super over all this. Yeah, it sounds like it. Like we're getting to a point with him now where he's just like, I don't owe anybody being like this answer, that answer. He's tired of it. And that's why the question of if he does go to market, does he even want to come back here, I think is a real one.

I think there's a 90% chance that he's here. Maybe they get something done during camp. Maybe they get something done right after the offseason next season. But he at least talks about not being here in this one. Jack, we talked a lot about the business aspect of things, and I'm curious, even when you say your feet are here where they are, if you've thought about what this league means and whether or not you're here as a cowboy

next year you will be well taken care of with the way the business works in the NFL and if that is the case if you've thought about it have you found any freedom any liberation in that trying to find the best you can be yeah I'm free yeah uh to your point that that is the freedom in it and that's why you have to focus where your feet are and as I said to a street that they have once I have once I think I've deserved that understanding that this is a business and obviously I want to be here talking about growing up this is this is where I've become a man so but that ended of the day at the end of the day, it's a business. And, you know, I'm going to say, I want to be here. But, you know, when you look up, all the great quarterbacks I watched played for other teams.

So my point in saying that is that that's not something to fear. That may be a reality for me one day. It may not be my decision. So that's the the freedom that I have is be where your feet are make the most of it be confident in yourself make your team better I love my teammates I love that locker room I love everything about being out here in Oxnard and being a Dallas Cowboy so that's what allows me to be free and focused and understand that and time comes who knows what comes as said, I've been through a lot of adversity personally that it's about, you know, being

thankful for where you are, hugging and loving on your loved ones and taking it one day at a time and handling the rest when it approaches. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That's some in the media negotiating for you. For sure. I mean, yeah.

Look at all the greats. Look at Joe Montana. Look at Tom Brady. Look at Peyton Manning. Look at Brett Favre. Doesn't always end like a fairy tale. Now, it does with the Cowboys if you're Don Meredith or Roger Staubach or Romo. But, yeah, I thought that was, you know.

You see what I'm saying now? Like he's kind of tired Romo. But, yeah, I thought that was, you know. You see what I'm saying now? Like, he's kind of tired of it. And he's just like, look, I'm going to be fine. Y'all can figure this out. If you want to go draft a quarterback, go. I'll go get $65 million a year in, I don't know, fill in the blank. Yeah. He doesn't have time for it anymore.

By the way, have you guys seen the projected Brock Purdy contract? No. Already? Well, like... If indeed... Yeah. I think the speculation... Yeah.

It's at 70. Yeah, 70 is easy. Sports is so great. Jordan Love just got like 60, right? But I think we've talked about this before. I think it was Nolan Ryan who broke the 1 million barrier, and by two years later, someone broke the 3 million. You don't go up 1 million. Now it's 1.12 million.

Well, now I've got to get 2. And it's like, okay, 50? We're going 60. Yeah, I mean, it's just I got to get two. Yeah. And it's like, okay, 50, we're going 60. Yeah. I mean, it's just increasing by the same percentage. It's just that the numbers are so big that the same increase means 52 to 60 and then 60 to 68. So, yeah.

Wow. It's very interesting to see the evolution of Dak. You knew it was going to happen. Romo eventually was not like the guy who would come to Summer Bash and was like, hey, this is just fun. I'm the Cowboys quarterback. Eventually, he was just like, F y'all. Stop. Stop making my life suck.

It's kind of like anybody in their career, right? You start and you're just happy to be there and you take the money and you do your work and then you start getting fed up with this or that or this or that and you start being honest and then usually you leave that place. Well, I don't have any idea what you're talking about there at all.

But he's no different than all of us. That's true. He just has like a football field in his backyard. Yeah. And he's getting paid a whole lot of money to go out there and do his job. And, you know, Jerry wants him to say all the right things. And now he's not doing it. I would get a football field in my backyard

if I had the means. And like a jugs machine. That'd be tight. You'd go football field? Over basketball? Yeah. I would. Wouldn't it be cool to have a little mini baseball field, Blake? Like the Dr. Pepper ballpark days?

Yeah. And you put a jugs machine on the mound and you just go up, you take batting practice, hitting into the cornfield? Sure. Now we've made it field dream. A little mini baseball field. I have one Dak thing, and this is only, we expected to hear this from Zeke. I haven't really heard from Zeke yet, but Dak was on the NFL network.

Just to now be out here in year nine and to feel the best I've ever felt is a blessing and nothing that I take lightly, so just trying to capitalize each and every day on that and continue to get better. Yeah, getting into camp, I feel lighter, I feel faster, and yeah, I'm throwing the ball better than I ever have, and then obviously mentally, that's a big part in saying I feel the best I ever have is just smart, sharp, ready to attack defenses. The old, I'm in the best shape of my life.

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

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

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

That's super impressive. I don't need to see that you pulled a sled. Haven't you done enough to prove yourself? It's weird to me. Before we slide into more sports, I want to see that you pulled a sled. Haven't you done enough to prove yourself? It's weird to me. Before we slide into more sports, I want to take you to Tuesday's Open, where Dan introduces a new bit. He's unearthed some complaint letters from early in his career before his ticket days. So we're looking at about the mid-90s, early 90s, mid-90s in Ohio. Let's hear what people were complaining about Dan back in the day. This from our 7.30 episode with sit-in Eric D. But I wanted to start off with New Bit.

I have no name for it. It is New Bit. Does it need this? I guess we'll see. I need to differentiate. So, how did I find this? What's the origin of it? I was, I don to differentiate. So, how did I find this? What's the origin of it? I was, I don't know, I was just cleaning up, trying to organize.

And I think I was looking for some plastic covers for my sheets. Now that we have spots, I like to put my copy in hard copy form and cover it with the plastic thing because we're going to be on the road, and when your internet stops working and you're like, oh, I can't find my Frankel and Frankel copy, guess who will have it? The old man who prints things. I almost want to ask Rob if we can bring a printer. I swear to God, dude.

I would love to be printing right on that RV. Space limited. You're not bringing your office jet. Then it would be the HP RV. The HP, the DV, DZ. Anyway. Blake? So I found a...

What can't you do? You can't deal with this high of a level of broad... I'll knock it down a couple. You know, I just can't you do? You can't deal with this high of a level of broadcast. I'll knock it down a couple. You know, I just can't keep up. I'll knock it down a couple of levels of broadcast. We're playing on Heisman. Yeah. So I found an old Manila folder.

This is quite old, in fact. And there's stuff in there. It's like when I worked in Cleveland at WHK. Look, here's the list of people that we worked with, like their phone numbers and stuff. But then I found all these – I found different notes and letters that were sent to my radio stations, various ones, complaining about me.

I love it. Or the show I'm on. Yeah. What year? A variety. This is in the 90s. Everything here is from the 90s. I guess I should have guessed with letters.

Yes. Well, it's pre-ticket. So anything pre-ticket is 90s. Right. Got here in 1999. In fact, we'll read this one in the future. I just wanted to read one today. And maybe we can come up with a name for this or whatever.

So did you photocopy these? That's a very old man term. Look, I have one from SeaWorld. They were upset with us. SeaWorld. How would SeaWorld be upset with me? We'll get to that in the future. I cannot wait for this. I'll just from SeaWorld. They were upset with us. SeaWorld. How would SeaWorld be upset with me? We'll get to that in the future. I cannot wait for this.

I'll just read you one. Can I ask you one thing real quick? Because you and I are very different about this. Okay. I read a book and I trade it in. I don't have a single artifact for my career. I have a couple hard drives, but there's nothing in my house. When I get kicked out, there'll be nothing on the lawn. There's nothing in my house. When I get kicked out,

there'll be nothing on the lawn. There's nothing to move. I don't have anything. I just don't keep anything. Moving forward, bro. Like a shark. Yes, you don't look behind. But when you think about these things and you think, I'm going to save this letter from SeaWorld, what are your...

It's just like, this is interesting, this is funny. I don't know, but if I didn't, I would have forgot about it. I forgot that SeaWorld, what are your... It's just like, this is interesting, this is funny. I don't know, but if I didn't, I would have forgot about it. I forgot that SeaWorld complained about me. Why would SeaWorld complain about me? Look, it's given us a bit, which is good, but it's just weird to me. I just save stuff that I think could be of use in the future. You're a mini hoarder.

It's got SeaWorld letterhead. It does. Why would you not save it? Yeah. He's an organized hoarder. He's an organized hoarder. That's a good way to put it. I'd love to be more organized. That's the thing. They all do. You're chasing that

dragon. I really am, man. Anyway, so this one is to the superintendent of the Warren City Schools. So for a time, I worked in Cleveland, and then a couple of the sales guys there went to our station. I worked for a sports station.

I was kind of board op slash weekend host type guy. A couple of the sales guys went and bought a small radio station in Warren, Ohio, which is kind of the Fort Worth to Youngstown, Ohio. So they call it the Youngstown-Warren area, you know, Dallas-Fort Worth area. So it's kind of a big city, but it's not, I mean, big as far as as big as Youngstown, but not quite. So Warren, Ohio, and very, like we thought plywood, like opening a plywood store would be great to help barricade windows. It was just, it was downtrodden. It was like it used to have like a GM plant there, which closed down 10 years before.

Like we had a guy, the janitor for our station was a guy who used to work on the assembly line and had a great pension and a great salary, but now he's the janitor for the radio station because it's a desolate area, a very bad area. And yes, so then I worked there at a radio station called WRRO. And somebody sent a letter to the superintendent of the Warren City Schools that says, Dear Super Int-dent. Okay. Okay. And I guess we could even put this out. This is August 27th, 1997. I would like to request you to tune in to radio station WRRO 1440 AM between the hours of 6 AM and 10 AM.

After listening to the – I'm going to not read all the typos. It's listening, but from here on out, just know that nothing's spelled right in here. Yeah. But I'll just figure out what they were trying to say. After listening to these, quote, garbage mouths – What an insult. think if you should announce your school closings or other

emergencies on this station? I think your answer would be no! Exclamation point. Any station that will devote So I did the morning show. I think we're about to learn what you did on that morning show. I don't even remember.

Any station that will devote 30 to 45 minutes to the subject of, quote, masturbation. That's what I meant. I think we're about to learn what you. In the morning? And have one of their announcers say that during his first quarter in college, he did it four or five times a day. Is not fit for family listening. I don't think they're on. Another one of their topics was about, quote, condoms.

Uh-huh. Would you believe they discussed sex in any style you could? They'd discuss the new, quote, flavored condoms, such as quote Nick-o-dick. It's probably more like Nick-o-dick. Mr. McDowell and Mr. Wilson so Big Jim was there with me.

Mr. McDowell and Mr. Wilson complained they cannot say the F word or even the letter F, but they can refer to Florida University and call it FU. So she's upset about that. Classic Dan. Some things never change. Classic Dan.

Go to. Then she has trouble with some of the rejoins. We had people saying stuff and that there's bleeps in them and blah, blah, blah, and something about playing with yourself. Anyway, I am in the process of recording this program and contacting the FCC and see what their feelings are about this type of broadcasting.

It is my opinion their license should be revoked for life. And then CC, all Trumbull County school systems, Warren City schools. I love it. So this was mailed in the mail. So was there an issue that you talked about too many sex positions? Had you just focused on missionary, you would have been okay?

Perhaps. And similarly, like what if he said I only did it one to two times a day? Right. Would that have been okay? Yes. Perhaps found that within the Overton window of taste. Had it been an unflavored condom. Four or five.

This guy's a radical. Yeah. Yes. That's amazing. I love it. I eagerly await SeaWorld's complaint. Right. Look.

Oh, wow. This is August 6, 1997. What a year. They were coming in quick, huh? What a month. How about that? What a month. All right. in quick. What a month. How about that? What a month. All right.

episode and go to Friday, August 2nd, as we were joined by author and Dallas Warning News columnist Sarah Heppola, who helps us sort out this female, not female, boxing situation. We need to do this real quick, because Sarah will be interested in this story, I believe. Are you following the Olympics? A little bit, a little bit.

What's standing out to you? Well, the boxing thing. That's the story of the day here. That was big yesterday. Yeah. We talked about it yesterday morning, but then throughout the day, it really, you know, once it fed the Fox News machine for an entire day, and I'm sure today, too, it's all they're talking about.

Yeah. Okay, I have complicated feelings about this, guys. Yeah, it's all they're talking about. Yeah. Okay, I have complicated feelings about this, guys. Yeah, it's a complicated story. Well, first of all, the person, the boxer, the people we're calling a trans woman is actually intersex. You know that, right? Well, okay, so the Washington Post has a really long article about this this morning kind of getting into how we ended up here. And there is not a confirmed evidence of a test that proves that she has an XY chromosome, that she has XY chromosomes.

of the IBA, the International Boxing Association, which is a Russian guy, who is if you think boxing is shady, why don't you have their main federation run by a Russian? Because you're talking about the two most bribery, corrupt, fueled things you could imagine. He

says that it was proven that she has XY chromosomes and that it was not just testosterone testing. There is no proof of that really anywhere. He says it was not testosterone testing. It was a different test that we had done. It's

possible that that's just a lie. It's also possible that she does have XY chromosomes and that's actually not that uncommon for dominant athletes. There was a study done, I think in 2000, sometime in the 2000s. I think they found like 10 athletes, female athletes, that actually did have XY chromosomes,

which is about 100% higher than the normal population. Yeah, they're all edge cases, but because they have a particular advantage, they end up in these extraordinary positions like the Olympics. Yeah, for sure. And some people, uh, as I've,

I've read actually have, uh, testosterone, their genetic mutation actually includes a blocker for testosterone that doesn't actually cause it to elevate that it's, it is a genetic mutation. They know at its base, you know,

and, but some people apparently still allowed to are still able to have children uh well like we were talking yesterday about they have a womb yeah but i don't know that she has ovaries i mean this and by the way all of this seems super invasive yeah in terms of, we are talking about the reproductive organs of an athlete that before yesterday I didn't even know existed. Yep. And we were talking about the male athletes who are really good. Do they have higher than usual testosterone levels?

Almost certainly. Would you call, like, is Aaron Judge a genetic mutation? Oh, that's interesting. Like he's very big and and he's way bigger and stronger than other normal, than average people, certainly. Yeah, and she had been competing. We celebrate that if it's a dude, though. Yeah.

But in this... Well, I think a lot of what this gets down to, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, is that the fact of the matter is, I think people are super uncomfortable with female boxing. I know I am. Like, I don't actually like the idea of women getting hit in the face. I can't watch women's UFC.

I never have been able to. What about the slap league? What? So there's like a competitive slap league that Dana White runs, and we were like, man, wouldn't it be funny if they had a female division? And they do. And it's just women slapping each other. Right.

And it's really unsettling. But kind of funny too. But it's very unsettling. Slash. But to me, there's this interesting thing where people were saying like, this is making me sick to my stomach. I can't stand seeing this woman you know hit in the face and i'm like okay but that was the sport like yeah like that is the sport yeah like do you like seeing guys hit in the face i don't actually

like boxing in general like i love muhammad ali like as a person and as a character but i never was able to really watch a lot of fights. The best boxing is Boxing Helena. You ever seen that? That's that creepy movie with Julian Sands? Yes, where what they would call boxing is cutting off her arms and legs. That's so creepy. No, no. That's the best.

Yeah. That's the best. No, it's a love story. He's in love with her. Okay, so anti-her, pro-boxing Helena. Right. Okay, fair enough. So we don't know what kind of testing they did,

and she's right, probably a lot of it, because that's what people, the libs of TikToks of the world are like, you know, it's disgusting. You're used to if you saw a man hitting a woman, then it would cause outrage. I'm like, well, you know. I think a lot of people just don't,

are uncomfortable seeing women just get beat up, but if that's what they want to do, they can do it. And if they want to be really good at it, then they could do it at a high level. But there is a different dynamic when they feel as though there's male advantage because women, even though it's uncomfortable seeing women hit, there's something that you feel like, okay, if it's other women fighting women, then it feels more comfortable. they're women fighting women then it feels more comfortable but if it's a if it's somebody that has a male advantage beating women it can be you know it does get into really tricky territory and i hear you that it's libs of tiktok but i gotta tell you that was a lot of other people that i saw like i don't i don't think that was like well like far right no but the problem is a lot of people were calling her trans that she's not. Her passport, she's Algerian.

Like one of the most repressive states regarding homosexuality. Like being transgender is illegal. It's illegal. Her passport says female. You can see pictures of her when she's a little girl

and she looks, and she's a little girl. Algeria will kill you if you are homosexual. And another thing too, it's not like she's just been... That's a thing. She's 88 and 0.

She's been beaten by other women many times. She was in the last Olympics. Yeah. She lost. She has nine losses to other women. I don't really know anything about this person. In her career. She's not just dominating.

I understand, but I think one of the things... But it's just this one girl is like, oh, now she hits too hard. She's probably trans. Okay, what I'm going to say is— Because she kind of looks— A, yes. Manish, but as many female top athletes do. Whatever this complicated case is, it's edging up against one of the most explosive conversations in sports,

which is trans women's participation in competitive sports, not just at the Olympic level, but in high school and colleges. Yes, it's such a big conversation for such a actual minimal thing that rarely, if ever, actually happens. That's not true, though. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Go ahead.

Okay. I'm saying, back up, you're saying that it's true go ahead name all these uh men who have become women that are dominating college sports dominating college sports no but i'm talking about in high schools go ahead then i don't have their names the point is it's not common. It is highly uncommon. I don't know. One person that anyone has heard of in their state. I know we have the one guy. Mac Biggs.

That did the wrestling. Common in this nation. I think what people are worried about. You might not be able to name one. It's not common. I agree with you. But what I think people are worried about, that are worried about it, is that it's going to become common. Right. That once you say that this is okay and you normalize it, that it could become.

But again, that's what panic is. Yeah. That's what unfounded panic, that's what culture war is all about. It's about stuff that really isn't happening, but it could. Yeah. So let's get you fired up. Get to the ballot box. You better vote. As soon as we allowed gay marriage

that people would be marrying their toaster and it hasn't materialized quite yet. They've been marrying actually somebody married a roller coaster? Yeah, there is the objective sexual thing. That's a great documentary if you've never seen it.

Somebody tried to marry the Eiffel Tower, but that was like 15 years ago. I tried seeing it, but then, yeah, you can't because of Governor Adler. Governor Adler, it's too porny. They blocked it. I want to see the guy have sex with the— I appreciate y'all's rational take on this, but I think you're force-fielding what is actually a really interesting and fraught discussion by saying it doesn't exist or that it's not big enough. I think, you know, my friends who have kids, and I don't have kids, but my friends who have kids tell me about, you know, no, not college kids dominating,

but you're talking about social contagions or, you know, the increase in number going from one or two of these cases to, you know, 10, 12, 20. So I. Again, that's just not happening. It's not. I mean, yes, it's an interesting hypothetical, as is, you know, a stadium full of. OK. Little people fighting 10 MMA guys or something. You know, it's like, I'm just saying,

these things aren't happening is the point. I have daughters and one who is really athletic, and that's just never been a concern that, oh my gosh, all these dudes who want to pretend they're ladies so they can be in, that's not happening. It's not going to happen it's ridiculous well in this particular case the the sad part about it is if this person has always was born with female mostly female reproductive organs a lot of times apparently in the little

bit of reading i did on this they actually in the womb if they have an intersex trait to them they will develop testicles inside of their body yeah i heard that so they do not present you know so these are all very nuanced cases uh and it's awesome that the host on fox news have now apparently have genetic biology degrees and can just say you know this is that is this. I also think it's really interesting if you're going to start saying that you can just say, hey, if you were born intersex, then you are this or that. It's going to have some interesting implications that I don't know that everybody's thought through whenever they want to yell about the Olympics. But for this woman in particular, who is she supposed to fight?

And where is she supposed to go to the bathroom? Well, I think the bigger thing is you're basically telling this person you can't participate in sports. Right. Because even though you're not trans, you haven't had any surgeries, you don't take any hormones. You're identifying with what you were assigned at birth. You've always been a woman. Then you can't

ever be in sports because she's going to get destroyed if she goes and fights Olympic male boxers. She's already losing to female Olympic boxers. Right. So you're basically just telling this entire group of people. Now, it's different. I do think it's different if you had a surgery and you're taking hormones.

Sure. And the surgery is obviously less important. But if you're taking hormones, you should not really be able to. That's also pretty rare if that even ever happens I mean it does happen but as far as it affecting the sports world that's very rare I just don't think you should

all these people who are really fired up about it now give a flying F about women's sports I think that's also pretty disingenuous but to Sarah's point I do see that when you have a kid and you want to protect them, that parents, junior high, high school parents would be worried of daughters that, hey, this is not fair.

This is going to be a problem. But again, she has been beaten several, several times. And the other girl didn't get knocked out yesterday. I've never heard of anybody quitting a boxing match in my life she just quit that's weird but i guess she quit because she thought it was unfair anyways she probably knew before the fight what the situation was and at the first sign of that she had been gonna get my ass kicked disqualified in 2023 sure yeah but she's fought on the women's circuit for eight years. Right.

She had been disqualified a year ago, right, because of testosterone levels or whatever. That was by the IBA, which now no longer governs this. The Olympics looked at the IBA and said, pretty shady. Don't know that we like this. And if the Olympics are calling you shady. That's the thing. But I'm just glad we're no longer talking about

the drag opening ceremony. We should have prepared ourselves for this. Write this down, Blake. Okay. When we're doing an Olympics talk in two years, I want us to beforehand predict some controversies. Because these were so plain to see. Everybody's mad about everything

in art anyway, so it's in France. You knew that people were going to be pissed off about the opening ceremony. We could have called that, and if we had really put our thinking caps on, we would have been able to call, somebody's going to get mad about one of these women looks like a man.

Yeah. I probably would have said like a little too much palestine give it time in my look at the comment days which i think are completely gone now for the betterment of my mental health i've seen quite a few less sarahs and that segment is why i disagree she's a great compliment to Dan because she's very, very sharp and will oftentimes fight Dan on some things. I think she's a great addition to the show, but I guess that's just my opinion. Hope you enjoy the Sarah appearances, and if you don't, just skip ahead. That's your right now in this podcast world. After all, you do pay our salary.

And if you don't, if you just take in these free episodes, subscribe so you can finally say you pay our salary and you can dictate our run sheet. All right. You pay our salary and you send us emails. Here's viewer mail from Thursday, August 1st. Wait, are we done with the Olympics? Yeah. That's when I said I was done with the Olympics. Did I interrupt you?

No, I think that's why you... I really wasn't listening. I was all geared up for that. I'm very happy you were. For a frankle spot. Let me go first. Because it relates to the Olympics. We have a real back and forth here

between Blake and Dr. Garrett. Blake went and saw a lady who plays a clear lindsey sterling electric violin big deal play a lot of people know who's like what like ephemeral music i don't even know the word for it she's just an electric violinist um she's on america's got talent she's hot she plays music that makes you feel like it's from your Nintendo game. So you went to go see her. That's cute from you, Zach Bryan, man. And wildly different. Wildly different. So Garrett said, you know, he hit us up and said,

Hey, you know, I was watching women's gymnastics, and I noticed that one of the floor routines was set to Blake's little crush, Lindsay Sterling, and her Hello Kitty violin. And he told us that. The normal size violin. And then we informed Blake of that, and Blake was like, yeah, okay, cool. I went to her show. But you're the one sitting there just so in tune with women's gymnastics that you noticed the music.

Right. That was a good comeback, Blake. What's his? A volley from Garrett. Uh-huh. While watching the women's gymnastics qualifier, I asked my wife who the musician was for that floor routine. She told me Lindsey Stirling,

which is the last concert concert i went to before we started dating hey now he uses some terms here that i think are a little out of date but i am reading an email sort of like we were in court you got to read it he says so yes by watching the u.s women's gymnastics i am gay but i am gay for the usa blake is still gay for liking a woman who dances around while playing a clear plastic violin. It's not plastic. Hope this settles it. So he's just reiterating his first point. Oh, all right.

Okay. That's cute. You watch Olympics with your wife. Yeah, I would do that Not me who just referenced doing it four times A few birthdays Hi Dan I want to wish my son Zachary Tan Happy birthday His leaders are the NFL on Nickelodeon crew

And making mud More Danny from Michael Tan PS OJ Simpson killed Steve McNair. You know, in my younger days, I would have been able to tell you who did that. She was Persian, I know that. Then she did herself too, right?

Yeah. Because he couldn't leave his family for her. Look, now they're together. Didn't she want to kill herself so she'd fall right on him or something like that? Yeah. Very good. Unironically, Dan the Man,

I want to give a shout out to my brother, Kirk, on his Doak Walker birthday. You still voting for that? No. His company offers the day off. I'm very glad that you got it right this time. I was going to say. That's impressive.

This is the first time ever, literally. Oh, you're a great guy, vote. His company offers the day off for his birthday, but he didn't take it. What a putz. Putz? How's that? Also, you guys talk a lot about mental health. Sometimes on point, sometimes just off center.

I'm a licensed professional counselor. I've been a therapist for 20 years. Let me know if you need some input from a professional perspective. I'm good. Have fun on the DZRV. Logan, do we talk a lot about mental health? It might be once a month something comes up, and I'm just like, yeah, go to therapy. Let's cut that back a little bit.

I would gladly do that. Yeah, will you stop? Yes. Greetings, Dan. You find me with a gunshot wound in my... Steve McNair style. I hope you do it so that you fall on top of me. Me too. Steve McNair style. I hope you do it so that you fall on top of me.

Me too. Me too. Don't shoot me first, but I'll let you if you want to just do yourself. Maybe a 690 sit-in. Yeah, yeah. 50th birthday. I'm a day one DF. Number 426. So close to that covered 420.

My leaders are Blake's wife's aggressive nipple play and Jake's pegging kit. We're open-minded here. My wife will not wake me up in that special way, but I hope I can get put to bed

with a Jake special from Michael. I don't know that that... What would be your special? I don't know. Is he talking pegging? Maybe. That's not going to put you to bed, bud.

You're going to be crying. So... Uncle Victor, it's my Marion Barber plus John Kitna birthday. I don't... 24 and... 24 and 3? 6? What was Kitna birthday. I don't know. 24 and 3? 6? What was Kitna?

Bulls. All out. Heil Muff Fuhrer. The girls are sissies. I forgot about that, yeah. Day 8 subbie number 3188, Travis Gafford. Oh. Good dude.

While I have not smoked a cigarette with Jake, I did host him and his very pregnant wife at a Portland Timbers game back in 2018. That was so badass. MLS. So cool. I knew I had picked the right leader when he referred to her as Shamu multiple times

while I was taking them to the field level. I don't recall that at all, but... Speaking of pregnancies, happy birthday and introduce you to the first official DZ baby, Lincoln Travis Gafford, born 731. 24. Nice. I like Lincoln. That's a great name.

Just mere minutes from the Dragon Den. And he has donned his first of its kind DZ onesie as his first ever outfit. He sent a picture of the baby. That's amazing. With a Dumb Zone labeled onesie. Special shout out to Raymond from E6 who created, listed, and shipped the onesie within a couple of days of me asking. DumbZoneMerch.com. Hook you up with Raymond.

Raymond also created a big and tall section on DumbZoneMerch.com. Hook you up with Raymond. Raymond also created a big and tall section on DumbZoneMerch.com at my request. I do remember Travis being a big guy. He says, I am six feet, eight inches tall. Yeah. I know what Dan is thinking. But luckily for both me and my wife, she had a C-section, so no extra stitches required. She might be one just from the fact you're 6'8".

But what I meant to say was, welcome to the world, Lincoln. And happy Zero Day. Raymond will... You contact Raymond and he'll just do whatever you want. So if you have a t-shirt idea, just contact him. He'll do it.

Good morning, Titan of the Tang. My name is Kyle Myers. It is my Bill Bates slash Mike Allstott birthday. Great, dude. I've seen him whip some ass before. Leaders are... Fight Night?

It really is a good show. My two favorites. More Blake from Kyle Myers. And Uncle Hotmail, I hope this reaches this inbox from my lowly Yahoo.

Business Wednesday was my Kyrie x Derek Lively birthday. My leaders are Flag Football Jake, Dan Holding Stuff, and Video Man Laughing. More Blake, Ben, number 665, day two. So close. I have a little bit of follow-up, because we were mocking the baby on board bumper stickers, because you've seen more of them on the road. I just saw a couple over the weekend, and I thought, they're back.

It's not a bumper sticker. It goes on your back windshield. It's like a yield sign, they're back. It's not a bumper sticker. It's like a... It goes on your back windshield. It's like a yield sign, the yellow diamond, right? So I'll read the comments on you. I'll admit to that. And in the comments section, it says, baby on board signs are so first responders know there's a kid back there if there is an accident, since, you know, most babies can't just let the responders know,

hey, dill, I'm back here. I was like, oh, okay okay that kind of makes sense let me ask a real first responder if that's true he says and i quote for half the cost of a sorry i have never looked for one of those signs means nothing to me if i miss an occupant in a vehicle it means i have failed my at my job that's what i was thinking so comment section section, shut up. Yeah. We'll get to the bottom of this. You're usually wrong. You're wrong, comment section.

We usually just don't address it. You know? Some guy got on me the other day saying that capping rents is not a nationwide favorable policy. It is. I have to study. Yeah, and I mixed up.

Suck my nutsack. Where the celebration station was in Mesquite. Sorry. Yeah. How about that about that i mean think about it like you you get like a bad car accident there's a pretty decent chance your back windshield is broken and are they like before i look in this car no no no let me sort through the rubble here see if there's a sticker on the sticker and he's like piecing it together. Is it yellow? Was it yellow? I see it says BA on this side.

There's an O. Was there a picture of a baby though? But what is this? B-O-B-O. I don't know, dude. Let's just get out of here. We got this. B-O-B-O?

What could this be? And then he, you know, he can't find the other sticker. And when he finds the other half of the sticker, the baby's dead. I have one email to read to close us out. This is from Drop Beth. All right. Now, Drop Beth told us a few weeks ago that she went in for the old breast check. Hey, now.

I could have done that. That she had some little breast cancer. Oh, sorry. You guys still want to have your fun? I feel like I could have probably found the lump, but okay. Well, anyway, she said they caught it early, and it's not something that's real dangerous, but I think she's having a surgery here August 8th,

so a week from today. Her real concern was hoping she could still make the Rangers day. That's our concern, too. In September. She said she has no chemo or radiation expected. But the real reason she followed up and told us this was she said she will be getting the Julia Louis-Dreyfus and can now confirm

as Jake assumed or understood you do get to choose your rebuild oh really yeah so if the next time drop Beth comes in with all of our drops and she has like F's Stormy Daniels

we're like you know why don't you come in every day we'll pay why be a stranger Daniels. We're like, you know, why don't you come in every day? We'll pay. We'll pay for the gas. Why be a stranger? Good luck, Beth. With your top. Yes, Drop Beth told us a few weeks ago that she had breast cancer, but is in really good spirits because they caught it

really, really early. And to quote Jake, she gets to pick the rebuild. But we're with you, Beth. All right, I'm giving you permission to skip this next one because some of you will be hearing this for the fourth time. But if you aren't an EverySowed listener, here is our July monthly business review from our Friday Patreon-only episode. It's that time of the month.

Okay, he's got it now, Blake. It's time for the dumb zones monthly business review and now the king of all note takers here's blake jones thank you voiceman uh a big month to recap in july got a lot of notes from the show Got some audio that I'd like to intertwine. But as always, let's start with things Dan or Jake want. And let's go back to the very first of the month when we were at the VFW. Jake said he wants a street named after him. And I don't know what you're going to do to get that, but I'd love to see Kemp Lane.

The easiest way I can think of today is become president of the Dad's Club. But other than that, I don't know. I'd probably have to save somebody from certain death and I don't even know if that would do it. Maybe I could become mayor and they would just rename William D. Tate. If you get killed.

That might do it. Yeah. But it'd probably depend on how. Right. No, it has to be. It can't just be like, oh, you had a car accident. Maybe a cop shoots you, but they're going to their wrong address or something. That has, in the past, proven to be pretty effective.

Yeah, it's worked. Or if you were a leader from the past but you're not that yeah but most of them got shot too yeah or if you were something was done unjustly to you well i guess not and i was thinking mlk but of course, yeah, he got shot. Malcolm X. But I think Bob Jones Park in Southlake is like Bob Jones was a former slave or something or some kind of civil rights guy. I don't know. I think. The point is it's unlikely.

I'd rather have Pilot Beezy's lane. I'm being honest. He deserves it. it Beasley Lane. I'm being honest. He deserves it. On July 16th, I think you did a story in the news Jake, where maybe somebody in Lubbock

they saved an owl with a tortilla. I don't remember that at all. Like an owl fell in their pool or something and they rescued it and laid it in a tortilla and saved it somehow. And then we discover that it's illegal to have owls. Oh yeah, now I do remember this, yeah. July 16th, Dan wants an owl feather.

It's only because they said I can't have one. I don't really want one. July 17th, Jake wants to meet Rose, which needs to happen in Cleveland. He will. Would you go see Fast 10 with her or whatever? I would go see anything she wanted to go see. I think you need to see a movie with her. I would love that.

I would absolutely love that. And this is kind of rich because Dan is the most organized person I know. Dan wants to be more organized. Dude, I am not that organized. It's insane. I'm all over the place. It's crazy. I used to have this conversation with Bob and Dan all the time

where we had 90% to 95% of everything that we ever needed or looked for while nobody else on the station archives their shows. Nobody else on the station uses Dropbox. I mean, maybe now until we did and I did. uses Dropbox. And I mean, maybe now until we did and I did, but the, and nobody else on the station went back up to the station whenever we moved and started archiving all of the entire file. I would go up at night, I would plug a hard drive into the server room and I would just zoom files over. So we had everything when we moved, turns out, uh, none of that mattered because, uh uh the guy

was like oh this format's not gonna work anyways i'm like well i'm about 30 hours in here but the point is something would come up that we didn't have like once every month and they'd be like it was like the shit would just hit the fan like god what are we gonna get this stuff and i'm like dude you're letting whatever the phrase is like good be the enemy of perfect or perfect be the enemy of good. Like we're doing way, way more than anyone else is. But the one time we don't have something every once in a while, it was like, this is a goddamn mess. Like we're just, and I'm like, this is insane.

Like the level of meticulousness that we're applying to this show and him, and he wants to be more organized it is a disease it is OCD that's what it is my biggest fault I'm a perfectionist he busts out letters from early 90s yeah he's got

tapes that he digitized from 30 years ago yeah but I don't have all of them I do have the SeaWorld letter. We'll get to that later. I can't wait. Not today. Time capsule.

All right, let's flip into the time capsule. Extremely aggressive, and I love it. July 2nd, Dan says he's going to be optimistic about going on the RV to California. Boy, that lasted about four days. I'm optimistic. I'm happy that you haven't fallen off quite yet. I don't mind a, well, I just don't mind a plane trip. I don't mind trips in general because it allows me to do a lot of stuff.

Yeah, I got a list. I got a lot of stuff to get done. I think that we're going to be on the RV together. We can have meetings over meetings and there's just a lot of stuff we don't... You know, we see each other a lot but then we depart and we got a lot of stuff to work on.

And so we need to get our act organized. Like, again, like what are we doing for the fall lineup? When are we picking games? Who are we picking games with? Like, we need to talk all this stuff out. Oh, yeah, for sure, baby. Okay.

Don't you think? Yeah. I'm feeling good. I'm ready to go. I'll be there at 7. Well, it's at your house, so. Well, I know. I'm pretty happy that you guys did that.

Like, if I had to drive somewhere and be there at 7? Yeah. We would never ask you to do that. Thank you. July 26th, Dan says the school bill banning phones during school hours won't make the year. It's going to be tough. It will be tough. But it's kind of spread, right?

It started in Keller. Now it's in Grapevine, Colleyville. Yeah, there'll be a bunch of them that do it. The change, though, it's hard to go back. be a bunch of them to do it. The change, though, it's hard to go back. I know everybody wants to go back to the way things used to be, but it's very

difficult to do. Newspapers can't now suddenly revive themselves and say, we should have done this on the internet coming. Kind of in the same vein, I said that the new NFL kickoff rule won't last five years. Very jarring last night. I don't know how much of the game y'all vein. I said that the new NFL kickoff rule won't last five years.

Very jarring last night. I don't know how much of the game y'all watch. I watched that. I watched a few. So weird. Off and on the first half. I think it's weird, Caleb Williams, even though it's an extra game,

just can't even take a series. It's the way it is now, dude. It's ridiculous. It's, dude. It's ridiculous. It's really weird. It's really weird because they played some other clip last night. I can't remember what it was, but it was a preseason game, and whoever was in the game, I recognized both of them. Oh, it was when they were talking about Sean Taylor.

It was a preseason game. Like, LeVar Arrington's out there. Sean Taylor's out there. Whoever they were playing, receivers were out there, first team. It was a preseason game. Like, LeVar Arrington's out there. Sean Taylor's out there. Whoever they were playing, receivers were out there. First team. It was weird. But I don't know if it makes it five years, but I do think I like it. I like having two return guys back there.

That's interesting. Not every team will do it, but you can. Sorry you hate fun, Blake. I guess I just don't like change. I'm going to get you a shirt that says, I heart touchbacks. Yeah. Same day, Jake says he'll never see another horror movie.

What if they just move the kickoff back to the 10-yard line and you weren't able to make it a touchback? Oh, they're trying to take away the high-speed collisions. Yeah, that's part of it. They're kind of trying to sell you as this is going to be exciting again. Why don't they just make them wear skirts? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't recall the last one I saw.

I don't recall the last movie that I saw that would qualify as a horror movie. It's just not, it's never been my thing. Your kids will get into it and you'll watch one i wasn't into it as a kid i've never been into it yeah i don't know how my daughter got into it i mean i've seen the shining she does it for cut i don't i didn't like it or wanted yeah it's you're you're it's more funny i know and i know a lot of people like that like i have an uh an aunt an aunt who is the sweetest nicest suburban mom you could imagine uh she's married to an aggie all three all of her kids are aggies they all married aggies like just the most sweet funny lady she is like obsessed with like the saw series

lady, she is like obsessed with like the Saw series and Hostel and all of it. I don't know what Hostel is. I was obsessed with Saw. Hostel was a tough one because it was not that long before I went to Spain. That's why I won't

stay in one. Yeah. But anyway, that's something we're tracking. Never happened again. You don't have to track it. I'm telling you. We'll see about that. something we're tracking. Never happened again. You don't have to track it, I'm telling you. We'll see about that. Jumpspins. You're up to 509. Five unique ones in the month of July.

I'll just give you a couple, starting with Jim Bob Cooter. Well, first his name is Jim Bob Cooter. But also when he was, I think he was a GA at Tennessee, he very drunkenly, mistakenly, I guess, crawled in through the window of a female student's apartment and got into her bed and I believe fell asleep. Yeah. LaShawn McCoy? The one that immediately comes to mind is a time that he, I believe it was when he was in Buffalo,

but it might have been Philadelphia, posted a flyer for a party that he was having, and it was clearly targeted at females. There was a cross-section in downtown where he said that a bus would pick you up, no phones allowed. So it's clear that he was just looking for an orgy. He was just going to fly in his own or bus in his own talent. And that post was taken down in about an hour. Dustin Johnson?

Cocaine. Might have been sleeping with other players' wives on the tour. Yeah, that was a money shot. And then one recently, Reese McGuire. Yep. Caught masturbating in a Dollar Tree parking lot in Florida at spring training. That one's tough. Because he was so pent up.

Because he had a bunch of dudes. Yeah. Dollar Tree. That's the real nail in the coffin there. Jake has a buddy. Settle down over there.

There's not many. Jake has a buddy who got arrested in Scurry County. Jake had a buddy who was really into Smallville. Yep. Jake had a buddy who did cocaine while working at a restaurant. I bet anybody who knows somebody who's working at a restaurant has a buddy who's done that. There's no doubt. That's where the bear's not realistic, right? Yeah, that's the one thing. They did have that guy that got caught smoking meth,

and I thought the one realistic thing that happened in that scene was when Marcus goes back there, they're looking for him on opening night. And when Marcus goes back there and sees him out by the trash can smoking meth, he's like, I think I have to fire you for this. And the guy's been working at restaurants his whole life. He's like, for this? This is a restaurant. How do you think I'm getting through this? But yeah, there was an era where it started to dawn on me that when my family would go to Olive Garden, that the waiters were just like extremely cranked up. I think Jay told us as much. Yeah, he kind of did.

And that everyone sleeps with each other. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Roseanne's. We've had an update to this list because it was was just rosanne's yeah um but thanks to a viewer

mail submission it's now the rosanne bar i like it do they pass the rosanne bar that's genius on july 3rd ricky lake yep 100 rosanne center square yeah she's 23 and me it comes back it just says rosanne v Vince Neil. Yep. I think you'd mentioned this when you first started it, but we finally got it on the list. Your grandma. A square Roseanne. And then- It pains me to say it,

but it might've been the genesis of the bit in my mind. This one's a bit complex. John Goodman, who was in Roseanne, is a male. I think he's a bit complex. John Goodman, who was in Roseanne, is a male. I think he's a Roseanne. I don't know if it's osmosis, but... Typically, you're going to be heavyset for a start, but there's just a certain face.

I think John Goodman might have at least half Roseanne. All of a sudden, he turns Roseanne. Oh, yeah. All of a sudden, he turns Roseanne. Who got ball sacked? Ball sacks. What have we been wrong about? Probably you.

Me. Yeah. July 3rd, I was wrong about the SMU tax fraud story. I couldn't believe that. That was a real low point. It was. Yep. I got caught.

I was also wrong about the Ben stiller and christine taylor pandemic divorce uh they actually got brought back together through the pandemic i don't know if that counts or not but i'm glad that's just a memory because that's the way i remembered it too yeah very rare case of the pandemic i miss you so much baby while admitting wrongs also wrong about the silicon valley reboot i saw the poster that i saw and it's just a hey celebrate the 10-year anniversary by re-watching it on hbo max okay so they're not getting back together no unfortunately um you know that uh what's his name thomas middlebridge oh is that right thomas you're right this was a red sock he is uh

i don't know if he's still with his wife or not but he was in like a full-on open relationship which is funny because in the show you just look at him like this massive dork no hoes but uh i remember hearing him talk about it once and once i just thought oh i guess that does not look like a guy in an open relationship i know But I remember hearing him talk about it once and just thought, oh, I guess. That does not look like a guy in an open relationship. I know. And then the biggest one from the month was, you thought the UK prison sex video was real.

I wanted it to be real. It's just so clearly not. I mean, I don't know know I feel like I saw Okay Hear me out I saw a video that was posted Either on TikTok or Instagram Where the lady who's in the video

Is with her husband And it's not like Pornographic like it's a funny Couples TikTok thing where they're like guessing Things about each other. Because people are like, hey, you know, this lady's wearing a wedding ring. And they went to her account, I guess, and found it and put it up and said, hey, this is actually her husband. She's married to this guy.

I don't know why that convinced me, but I thought, okay, well, this is a real person. Seems like a long con. Yeah, I keep seeing different... I saw some misinformation on that this week. That prison video? Back to that video, yeah. Like that actually somebody did get in trouble for it or something. I don't know.

This is going to be just... Can't we just enjoy our porn anymore? This is just going to be Santa Claus for me. I'm just going to believe it. I don't know what USA crime is there on the screen, but... Dan fights with his wife. We just have one. I'm glad we don't have a sounder for me on this one.

But it's a funny one. From July 15th, you two got in a fight because she wanted to recycle the old vacuum cleaner and you didn't think that you could. Oh, yeah.

You definitely can't. I don't think so, but I also remember right after the fight, I was like, I'm not really sure I was right on that, but I just,

I had to stand my ground once I started it. Although we did kind of get in a little altercation about the whole chainsaw situation. Yeah, that was on the first. We'll hear about that next month. Oh, okay, good. All right, let's end with some notes from the show. It says here, most vacuum parts such as rubber, plastic, and metal components can be recycled.

But I don't know if you could just put the whole thing in there. Maybe. I don't know. Whatever. Yeah, we just set it out by the garbage. Just like we did with the microwave. I'm going to try to run through these notes because I have a lot of them. Back to the first of the month. If you'll remember, it was the first day of the month, first day of the week,

and the first day of the second half of the year. I will never forget. I hope it's going well for you. Yeah. I took a couple weeks off, but I'm back in. I got my gallon in the car. Dan had a hard time setting up his new Mac. He also hated that it was always in what he called dark mode. Not the screen.

The keyboard? The whole Mac is dark, which I thought looked really cool. And your guys' computers look awesome, so I wanted an awesome computer. You're everything Jake and Blake do. I know. And then now when I'm sitting in front of it at night, yes, everything is dark.

And I don't like dark mode on the screen. So now it's a big contrast. I mean, you know, the white part of the keys lights up. Kind of, but it's just not the same. Again, I don't like change. Nobody likes change. But I didn't want to have the old color because then it would look like I had the old slaggy computer.

You can't have Brandon Aubrey thinking that. No. No. What a turn this took. July 1st, Jake called an eight-year-old names hot. Dude, we already covered it. You really didn't have to do that again. No, I know, but.

You really didn't have to. It is on the list. Yeah, and I got to read it. July 2nd, we all lost it to the dog eating the heart clip from One Tree Hill. Pretty great. I think it also screwed us on YouTube, but it was well worth it. Yeah. Same day, William Pace sang to us.

You're making a first time call on the radio. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Dan McDowell Show. Yes. That was the bingo. Wowell show. Yes. That was the jingle. Wow. Beautiful. Wow. And then he made that the jingle on his radio show.

That's right. Remember that, Dan? Yeah. Do you remember that? Hey, would you do this for us? Because I know you know this song very well. Were we replaying the whole interview or what? Would you sing happy birthday to the dumb zone?

No, it's edited down. And then we can- Okay, we don't have to play it. Out of the crosshairs. July 3rd, we learn about Jake's leather jacket phase in high school. I'm still mad at Binion for that. The same day- You can't hide from your pants.

The weirdest part about that was that Dan was like, five minutes later, he's like, so what's the deal with this leather jacket? Yeah, I never heard about that. Really? Why are you hiding it from me? Leather jacket. It was like 2002. Well, that's why it was so weird.

It's not a happy day. That same day is when viewer mail explained moosing to us. It's only been a month. It feels like it's been around forever. It's only been a month. It feels like it's been around forever. Somebody gave us a plush stuffed animal mooses with dumb zone bandanas, and I took it home.

Raymond made it. Yeah, Raymond made it. I gave it to Nora. I was like, hey, I got this from work. Do you want to put it in your stuffy box thing? She goes, is this the team Moose of the dumb zone? And I looked up, and my wife was just staring at me, shaking her head. Like, yeah.

I bet you get that situation a lot, though. Quite a bit. Right now, she's currently obsessed with asking me, why were they mean and made you change the name from the hang zone? Oh, that's right, because your mom told her that, right? Yeah. July 9th, Dan's right, because your mom told her that, right? Yeah. July 9th, Dan's first car was a 1977 Ford Pinto, and his CB handle was the Challenger because they were known to

blow up. That's right. Doing bits, baby. It's legendary. Not very sensitive. July 11th, Dan didn't know emus hatched out of eggs. I think I was confusing llamas. Llama, llama, red pajama.

And emus. That's actually not that bad of a mistake. He had a llama. Not an emu. I thought he had an emu. I would like some follow-up on this one. July 11th. Dan's neighborhood gossip. Someone named Blake, who played for the M Mets is building a house in the neighborhood.

Still haven't found out. Neighbor John didn't know his last name. Hmm. And he's really the only dude that I talk to in the neighborhood? Yeah, I would like to know. Maybe Jay. I'll talk to Jay a little bit. Same day, Jake explains how Dan made fun of his relationship status on Facebook, so he deleted it.

Pretty much. Also, same day, Dan did not accept his wife's Facebook friend request. Again, if you know her, don't tell her that I knew that she, like, I just figured it would just come and go. Well, it's worked so well whenever you've done this before and said, don't tell her. Yeah. But it was also years ago. And I don't ever look at Facebook.

Unless I'm looking to get some. No doubt. July 15th, Dan's friend made his other friend's Hooters girlfriend hula hoop for them. Yes, Ed's girlfriend. July 17th, we had a guy in a tuxedo in the den. That was funny. Yeah, especially since it was supposed to be a

two-guy bit and one guy just bailed on it without telling him. July 17th, we had the idea for the Hooters Waitresses Delivery Company. We were kicking around some names like Hordash, Boober,

and Door Gash. I received several other ones. I don't have them. I was not prepared to... People got to work in the lab on that one quick. I was very impressed. July 17th,

Dan told us about the time he bought a bunch of porn VHS tapes at a closeout sale that he put in a Bud Light box. Jake got a box of porn from an older friend when he was going to college. Yeah, a friend's older brother. It was a very monumental day in the neighborhood. When he handed that down?

Yeah. And Dan had a community hustler in the shared bathroom dorm. That's probably pretty common. Also from the same day. And I'll bring that. Yeah. On the RV. Need to.

Same day, Dan explained he had a trainee attempt to give him a catheter. Yeah. It was a dude. Shouldn't you know the wiener? Shouldn't that dude know his way around there? Yeah, you'd think. I don't know how 726

Maybe it should be a gay dude doing it Because then he's used to dealing with someone else's wiener Because you're only used to Dealing with it from this angle That's a great point No it's not Dan confuses raw dogging and barebacking They're the same thing

Not for the cultural. Yeah, the plane thing. Thing of, yes, going on a trip and not using any technology or reading or anything. That bit still bothers me. Just sitting there. It doesn't really make sense. Just no payoff. No payoff.

No. I mean, compare that to the bit of throwing a piece of cheese on the toddler's head. There's no comparison. There really isn't one's great July 29th Julie reads the I Survived book series to her kids and they're just about the worst disasters we've had got a lot of response on that a lot of people said that and there is one about 9-11

yeah and then last one for you July 30th Dan looks up Hope Solo's vagina. Big Montana. And there's your NBR. Okay, a few segments left. A little bit of baseball Jake here as we could have a first in Major League Baseball. And then one of the weirder Kemp spins we've added to the list.

And as far as baseball, Blake, Rangers are in a bad way right now. Some reinforcements are coming, but it's hard to turn pitching on. Not looking good with a tough August coming up, but I'm holding out hope with my plus 1,000 division winner bet on the line. Here is your Reese McGuire K Kim spin from Thursday, August 1st from the Dragondon. How about the long-awaited baseball Jake?

We don't need an open. Oh. Well, this one's interesting because it has a couple of different tentacles to it. Let me pull my note back up here. This is not something I really particularly care about that much,

but I do think that 12-year-old baseball Danny would have really been interested in this. So the Blue Jays traded their catcher of 10 years, Danny Jensen, to the Red Sox. They were playing in a game on June 26th. Those two teams, Blue J to the Red Sox. They were playing in a game on June 26th.

Those two teams, Blue Jays, Red Sox. The game was suspended due to rain. Jensen was at the plate at the time for the Blue Jays. 0-1 count. Okay, awesome. They suspend the game. That game will be resumed on August 26th. He is now on the Red Sox.

Okay. That is so, yeah. So he has the opportunity to be the first player to ever play for both teams in one game in one day. Because there have been other players. Because he's at bat. He's at bat. He has to finish the at bat. He doesn't have to.

They could pinch hit for him, right? Because it was only 0-1. Yeah. Have you seen scoring changes talk about this? I tried to process it, but there's a lot going on. So because it's in 0-1, there haven't been two pitches in the at bat. So when they pinch hit for him, it will count as a new at-bat. Okay.

So the rule is there has to be two pitches? Apparently so. I did see that. So because it was an 0-1 count, they will just pinch hit for him, and it will be a new at-bat. There's also the possibility, though, he's currently the backup catcher for the Red Sox. There's also a possibility that if he's in the game that day, which he might be,

he will be catching the at-bat that he was replaced for when the game restarts as a Red Sox catcher. He will be catching his own pinch hit at-bat. Yeah. There have been a number of other times, I guess four other times in baseball history, where someone played for two teams in one day. Happened in 1922 twice. Happened in 1982. Guys traded between games of a doubleheader?

Yes. Or even like the case of, there's been a couple cases where a guy had an afternoon game and then got to the night game in time to pinch hit like in the seventh or eighth inning, which you would never ask a guy to do now. I mean, that's gone, right? Yeah. I mean. But it's cool.

It's very cool. Yeah. No one has ever played for both teams in the same game. Right. They're playing each other. It's the exact same game. Right. They're playing each other. It's the exact same game. Because different weird things have happened with resumed games.

Right. Yeah. But this one... The Pine Tar game, I remember. It's not just that he got traded from the team he was on to the team that he's going to be playing for when the game resumes.

It's that he was at bat when the game was stopped. Damn! At that time. If the count was just 0-2. He would have to hit. He would have to. He would have to hit, and then he would have to go change.

But then how much does he care about the team winning? Not at all. Versus his own stats. Yeah, just flail away. One strikeout's not going to kill you. Just take it out. Yeah, or if he had hit a home run earlier in the game, then he hits a home run for the other team later.

Oh, that's awesome. And I really hope the Red Sox play him that day just to see how this – They will. They probably will just for history purposes. So his name will be in the box score. For both. Yeah. Yeah.

First time it'll ever happen. Now, what's kind of funny about this is it also ties into a story that we completely skipped over when it happened. It might have been because we had Best Of last week and I was gone for a day. But he's currently the backup for the Red Sox starting catcher, Connor Wong. And the reason that they acquired Jensen and Connor Wong was elevated to starter is that they have DFA'd Reese McGuire. Do you remember what happened a week ago with Reese McGuire? No.

Perhaps a better question would be, do you know what happened with Reese McGuire some three years ago? Do you, Blake? No. He was 24 at the time. He was with the Blue Jays. And police responded to a call at 2.07 in the afternoon of a male exposing himself while sitting inside an SUV parked outside of a Dollar Tree store.

This was at spring training. And he was jerking it in the parking lot. That lady in Warren, Ohio is not going to be happy about this show either. No. But this is a police report. He actually got a ticket for indecent exposure, and I guess at the time, young player, he was living in an apartment or dorm type situation

with two or three other on-the-fringe guys, and I think he told the cops, like, dude, I'm sorry. This is bad. I get it. But, you know, I needed some. He was under a lot of stress, his whoop. Yeah. And he had to go out to the parking lot to take care of things.

He had to go to the parking lot. Well, that's what he did. Yeah, I've roomed with four guys before. You got the bathroom and the community hustler. You figure it out, right? Yeah. You figure it out. Can't do shower.

In fact, I was wondering in the DZ RV, will there be a community hustler? I got you that Pia Zadora Playboy. I do have the old Playboy. I have the Enron Playboy. Women of Enron. Okay. Still have that one. Want to bring it for travel?

Sure. But the reason that this resurfaced recently was that, again, from the makers of People Don't Forget, there was a bench-clearing brawl between the Red Sox and Rockies about a week, week and a half ago, where Cal Quantrill, the pitcher for the Rockies, is jawing back and forth with Reese McGuire, who's at the plate. And you can very, very clearly see,

you don't need to be John Boy to knock down this lip-reading bit, that Cal yells, you jacked off in a fucking parking lot, you dumb fuck. And then the bench is cleared. That's awesome. So Reese McGuire, been struggling. They brought up the jacking off thing. He got sent down, and now Jensen might end up playing in two games. That is the perfect people, don't forget.

Yeah, I mean, that's a tough one to get past. But just to have that in your back pocket ready to go. Yeah. Yeah, and I don't know. I don't know if it would have been better if it were like a Neiman Marcus, but Dollar Tree, that's not good. It wasn't a Cheesecake Factory. No, Cheesecake Factory would have been a step up.

But it's tough to come up with something lower than a Dollar Tree if you're going to get caught in Florida, if you're going to get caught jerking off. But, yeah, the video is awesome, Dan. You can just see him walking off just yelling, you jacked off in a fucking park. I told you I had baseball. That's great.

All right, baseball Jake. Need more baseball Jake. You want to talk about the Copac trade at all? Dodgers are eating up, Blake. Like, why not in the shower or in your room late at night? I mean, we've all been desperate before, but that's just kind of insane to me. In public, in your car, in public, in a parking lot. But when you got to go, you got to go, I guess.

All right. In public, in a parking lot. But when you gotta go, you gotta go, I guess. Alright. This next one is short, and maybe it's only funny because I was in the room for it. But I've gotta play it. Dan had to Google a woman's private part with us in the room. Hope Solo is 43? What's her bit? Say it. She's got a lot of them.

I mean, you could start with, like, her boyfriend was a tight end for the Seahawks, and they used to fight all the time. What's his name? Chris Atfaria. Yeah. Maybe a Packer at one point, too? Yeah. Yeah.

And she would just, like, beat the shit out of him. So you always see these domestic violence cases, and you're like, man, are you sure? Then the cops would be like, she was wailing on this dude. And then also some of her nudes got leaked. And, you know, in general, as we've discussed, nobody really wants to look at a vagina, but I would rather look at any other one than that one.

Wizard's sleeve. Really? Dude, it's... It's... Yeah. Yeah. Can I search Hope Solo vagina in my work? Hope Solo wizard sleeve.

Actually, if you... Honestly, if you search Hope Solo... It's not auto-filling. No, auto-fill won't do that. It won't fill vagina? It's not auto-filling meat curtains. No. Images.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude, you don't want... Oh, yeah, you don't want to see that. Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude. You don't want to see that. Why would you make me do that? Yeah. Why did you put it on the market? Why did you add it to your tab on the top? Oh, now it's on the TV.

I mean, I don't know. She was a goalie. Oh, no. I shared it with the family. Does your TV do your phone stuff? Like the... Memories and stuff? Family share?

No, I don't do that. No, I don't either. I have seen situations on the internet where that went real wrong for people, though. Yeah, because our downstairs TV will take from my wife's desktop favorite photos. So when it's, you know know the screensaver after sitting there for

10 minutes horrible um steve's on steve's on wiener for inquiring minds just just don't okay it's uh just don't all right we need a palate cleanser. Here's our news and today in history from our Monday epi with Julie to close us out. Here's Jay with the Gun. Thank you so much. There were two more earthquakes Saturday in West Texas, Dan.

Okay, is this all fracking? Yes. Again? Okay. Yes. These ones were also felt in Dallas-Fort Worth, apparently. I never get to feel them. I never feel it either. Everyone's telling me I felt the earthquake, and I never get to feel them. Where was it felt?

It says all over Dallas. Huh. Seems like they're usually felt in Irving for whatever reason. Like aftershocks. Well, initially, the Irving one was at that Texas Stadium site. Yeah. There was something weird going on there. But this one county,

Scurry County. Blake, I got a buddy who got arrested in Scurry County. Scurry? Yeah. West Texas way. He couldn't scurry away fast enough? Man, I don't know.

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

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

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

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

because you're talking about back in the day when the earthquakes killed people and that's how you could quantify it as an earthquake. It's like an I Survived series is what it's called. And it's about these like big catastrophic moments in history from a kid's perspective. And I's about these like big catastrophic moments in history from a kid's perspective. And I start reading the book like the first...

Just like a bedtime story? Yeah. Like I was in the Holocaust. I thought... I was really... Exactly. The morning of September 11th. That's seriously what it is.

It was take your son to work day. He wanted to order these books. NASDAQ. And you'll learn anytime they want to read a book or buy a book, you get excited and you're like, yes, I want you to read. So I will buy you whatever book because I want you to read and not want to go stare at your screen or whatever. Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible?

Well, probably not that. I probably wouldn't do that. But I'm trying to get him on chapter books because he's old enough to. How old is he? He's nine. Okay. Yeah. It seems like he's old enough to. How old is he? He's nine. Okay, yeah. It seems like he was old enough to five years ago but go ahead.

Oh, wow. Okay. Damn, dude. Am I wrong? I don't know. Chapter books? I don't know. At four?

I don't know, Julie. They don't do that. They're just learning to read at four. I think you're a great mom. Yeah, you're the best. Well, you know, we're like... You're the best with your 9-11 book. Thanks.

We're approaching the school year very quick, and this is when moms start to be like, okay, start reading, start writing. Let's pretend like we've been practicing all summer. A weak, cram read. Well, that's what I'm doing, okay? If I'm being honest. Yeah, the teachers all want you to do that also.

They tell you at the end of the year, and they give you packets. Nowadays, they'll give you like a website. Go to this website. It'll tell you what you should be doing with your kid at this age. Yes, yes, okay. And then it's the end of the summer, and I'm like, oh, crap. We haven't done any of this.

So I'm trying to get him to read. You've been so busy at the club. We've been partying so hard. Golf camp. So I'm trying to get him to read. I'm trying to defend my choice of letting him read this book. And you started last night. Yes. So last night I'm like, okay, what chapter book do you want to start?

And he's like, how about this one? We bought it at the book fair and we haven't opened it and that was a long time ago. So I'm like, okay, who wants to read this? I survived the San Francisco earthquake of whenever the big giant one was. Anyway, we start reading it. What do you think, Rob?

40s? Oh, I thought... No, during the World Series, right? The 90s? No, it was in the 40s-ish. There was one back then that killed... Yeah. That's the one.

So I'm reading it, and it's like the perspective of an 11-year-old boy, and it's, you know, he's in his house, and he's kind of talking about... All these gay dudes are running around, and they're really upset. 1906. Way back then.

You think the 40s? Gay people didn't exist in the 40s, right? It was actually 1906, I want to say. But yes, of course. But they kept it hidden. I don't think they were just gay guys running around being gay in the 40s and freaking people out or whatever you said.

How did we start talking about this? I thought the Democrats invented gay. Just because of these earthquakes in West Texas? How'd your son take it? What's the point of the story? I'm trying to get there. He keeps doing this, not me. I know, man. What's up with him? I'm trying to read him a little bedtime story.

I'm excited that he wants to read. And the first chapter, we get through, and basically this lead character who's an 11-year-old boy gets buried alive. Buried alive. Well, how did he tell the story then? Well, he was telling it from his perspective.

So it's like all of a sudden the earthquake... Now all of a sudden it ends mid-sentence. The earthquake stops and he's like... Ten more blank pages. It's like, you know know I was hit by a brick and then I was hit by this and then I started getting I couldn't breathe

and good god it was I'm laying there reading to my son I'm like this is terrible it's

one of the things like that you don't think about with parenting or whatever when you come across these instances with your child and you're in the middle

of a book and I had to finish my sentence when I saw what it was gonna be like you can't stop down and not book. And I had to finish my sentence when I saw what it was going to be. Like you can't stop down and not finish your sentence. I lie all the time. Yeah.

Just start making it up. I lie about what's if I don't. He can read though. No. That's the problem. I skipped over a few things because we kept going. I was like, I got to give this context. I can't get to.

And then he was buried alive. Good night, buddy. I'll see you in the morning. So we kept reading like another chapter in to try and give it context. Is that the funeral? That's when I started omitting. Because anyways, that's when I started omitting things. And he was calling me out like, mom, why'd you skip those words?

Why'd you skip that sentence? I'm like, because this is a terrible story. But I was in too deep to the story. I couldn't quit. It was a big conundrum. And there's my earthquake story. You guys going to cover the Gaza Strip tonight? Or what's on the docket?

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

pushing for legalization during the 2025 legislative session. Okay, so we now own a business, as you know, right? At least partly, somewhat. We're in business. We're learning about business, quarterly taxes. It's fun. I should be doing that. Mm-hmm. Somewhat. We're in business. We're learning about business, quarterly taxes. Mm-hmm. It's fun. I should be doing that.

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

A business leader. No. No less. No, I'm not even a business leader. One of the leaders in our community. Follower. Minion.

No. No. I don't think so. I'm out there though. If anybody wants someone to join their committee just to give this perspective, hit me up.

I want to say something. HMU. I want to compliment my partner, okay? I started this story roughly 90 seconds ago. He's used the word. I used the word twice. He's used it three times. I thought of how tiny it is.

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

No. See, he was jonesing. It's not large. I had to let him do it. It's very tiny. How tiny? Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It just clicked.

Yeah. We still do that? No, we don't. He does. There's one man alive No, we don't. He does. There's one man alive keeping the itty-bitty committee, itty-bitty-titty committee alive, and it's him. He's the only one. Doing the Lord's work over here.

That works the word bit and tit into it. Yeah. And that's what we're all about. Dan and Julie, bits and tits. Jeez. Still so shocking. Weekdays tits. Jeez. Still so shocking. Weekdays at 9. Can we do an everyday bits and tits?

Probably just once a week. Sands, which is, of course, the... Yeah, we don't want to oversaturate the world with bits and tits. Sands is the owner of the Mavericks now, basically. You know, the Miriam Adelson lady that I told you about? Yeah. Her son, Patrick Dumont. Yeah.

Son of all is the controlling owner. They have hired 76 lobbyists and spent almost $7 million in the last couple years lobbying the state legislation to get this done. And that means they will. $7 million? I think there's probably an amount you can spend, probably. But yeah, within two years, there will be a casino, at least under construction, in the heart of DFW. It's kind of awesome.

Probably more than one. And this is what we figured would happen, but they're really making it happen. How's that going to affect traffic? What? I mean, probably not going to help. Oh, by the way, you would have been very happy. He's already stressed about the traffic from two years from now. Yeah.

I like to plan ahead. When I went to that comedy show on Friday, Dan, you would have been pleased. Big time progress on that entrance into Fort Worth downtown situation. Really? With all the orange barrels? You know how it's been terrible for like 18 years? They've done some work. Really? With all the orange barrels? You know how it's been terrible for like 18 years? Yeah. They've done some work. Really?

But I would say traffic is probably not going to be improved by putting a resort destination casino in the middle of town. Like it's at that Irving area, right? Irving area, they own that. It could possibly be across from the AAC. There's some land they own back there. Were you with me when someone was telling us that Jerry Jones has bought a lot of land around Waxahachie?

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

No, you won't think that when it's here. I think stuff like that is cool. It's good for our city. What? Is it? How is that good for the city? Stuff to do. Tourism.

People come in here instead of us having to fly to Vegas every time we want something like that. I don't know. I don't know, man. It's just an opinion. Don't you fly to Vegas, though, also for the – because you're not going to run into anybody that you know? Like you want to be away. Yeah.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Yeah. That whole thing. Yeah, I don't know. It seems weird. If I were just someone who lives somewhere else and I had the option of flying to go to a casino, like why would I want to go to Irving?

Is there already a casino slash sporting facility? Does that exist? Because this could be the first ever like there's going to be an NBA arena. That might happen. Inside the casino basically. Yes. You know that's going to happen. You'll have to walk through the casino to get to your –

They probably will have a way where you can go around it. But, yes, I do think we're... That's right, because kids. Inside 10 years, you've got an arena, a hotel, and a casino all on one site. And it'll probably happen here first. I know. But don't go buying any marijuana.

No. Ah. I haven't been to a Golden Knights game, but I know it's... Like, you can gamble. It's not in the casino. I haven't been to a Golden Knights game, but I know it's like you can gamble. It's not in the casino. They don't play in the middle of a casino, but you can gamble all around the game. It's near casinos. And apparently the vibe is just totally insane and awesome.

It is. We went. Like you could do slots and whatever or just like they have actual slot machines in the concourse? I don't recall. I think so, maybe, actually. I didn't go to a Vegas game, did I? You did. You did.

I don't remember that. You don't remember the whole thing before the game starts? It's like a Vegas show on ice. They have dancers and stuff. Yeah, they got a guy. It's like Medieval Times on ice. How could you forget this? Do I like it? I don't, you know, I don't.

Was I fired up? It was really, really cool. Okay. I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Yeah, I'm glad Jake remembers stuff for me. Yeah. Did you guys see the story about this drug trafficker in El Paso that got arrested?

His name is Ishmael Zimbada. He is the son of El Chapo. Oh. And he goes by El Mayo. Sweet. Or probably, yeah, El Mayo. So he got on a plane.

Mayonnaise? It's hard. Yeah, I mean, I think El Mayo, like I would constantly be thinking of mayonnaise when I talk to you, and that's not that intimidating. No, that's what you think of when you talk to me. So they somehow convinced, I guess they tricked him into getting on a plane thinking that he was headed one place. And, you know, it's like a private plane.

And the pilot took him to El Paso and landed where he was promptly arrested. where he was promptly arrested. I think that would be a really cool job, like the bait criminal part, but not the part where you actually have to maybe get shot and get your head cut off by the cartel. Yeah, like that pilot man. Doing little tricks. Oh, yeah, no.

That guy has to be in witness protection, or they just had so much on him, right? That's why he did it? Yeah, maybe. I've seen enough TV. enough tv reminds me of us and being in court what part when the they took a break so we could eat our little sandwiches and then they sentenced the guy to x amount of years for drug trafficking oh yeah yeah that judge is busy that day he had been working on i swear to god this is the funniest thing that's probably ever happened to me in hindsight is that we're sitting there talking about the podcast and they're playing

audio of me and dan dicking around and then they let us go for a long in the courtroom it was so awkward and then they let us go for lunch they bring a guy in who's a uh a cartel mule and he had to do it because otherwise he was going to get probably into some trouble with them they sentenced him to something like 20 years and then she's she's like all right we're going to start back up and i swear to god we pick back up with all right so right now we're on what is the definition of a podcast right i. I'm like, what just happened? Seemed to pale in comparison. This guy's going away forever.

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

Let's see. Do I have anything else I want to tell you guys about? Oh, one quick thing. Don't know why I laughed. You laughed on the record. I was going to bring this up earlier. We were talking about Celine Dion. Were you guys aware of stiff person syndrome?

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

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

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

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

So you just have to sit. Yeah, or. Boy, that sounds like the greatest disease. You're not allowed to go anywhere. I can't go, guys. I just assumed this was like a... Got the whole stiff person thing. I just assumed this was like you know how there's diseases

like what is Lou Gehrig's disease? ALS, right? Okay. So I just assumed... Whatever that stands for. That there was a better name for stiff man syndrome. I just assumed that was like the parlance of the layman. Yeah.

It's not. It's SPS. They don't have, but they don't have. Really? That's what the doctors named it? Yes. They don't have like a medical name for it that is hard to pronounce or something. They're just like, man, this guy is stiff.

They need LeBron. I know what we'll call it. They need LeBron to get it. Be the LeBron James disease or something. They need someoneBron. I know what we'll call it. They need LeBron to get it. Be the LeBron James disease or something. They need someone famous to get it. Celine Dion. Celine Dion.

Go through a little PR makeover now. They didn't rename Parkinson's back to the future or anything. Yeah, that's a good point. Under treatment, it says no evidence-based treatment has been found for SPS, which is a boo, right? Yep. We can't figure out how to stop it.

But then it says nor have any controlled trials of treatment for the condition been conducted. Could still be hope. I'm just going to let all these people be stiff and not even try to help. There's no hope. But we also haven't tried yet. So there to be hope. I'm just going to let all these people be stiff and not even try to help. There's no hope. But we also haven't tried yet. So there might be hope. The Dumb Zone News. Got his ass. Like and subscribe.

The Dumb Zone presents. Oh, wait. That woman has a hat on that says Chappie. I love it. What the hell? I can't stop looking at it. She has a Chappie hat? Yeah.

I didn't even know we had that. I swear to God, though, if I got one of those, my dad would wear it. Are they for sale? Did Raymond get that? Because Raymond will hear us say something and then they'll be. Did you have it made? Oh, your neighbor already had it. My dad has a Chappie license plate.

Chappie license plate. From Chappiquitic, she said. Ah. Oh, okay. You know, Ted Kennedy once killed a lady there. Kemp spins. It's true. So you're proving you can Kemp spin a city.

Here's the thing. After he did it, they got him out of the government and he was not a senator for another... Actually, no. They re-elected him like seven more times. If not more.

After the murder? Yeah. But... I'm learning something new. You know, they did say that's what held him back from the White House. I do know that.

Like, he'll never be president because of that. Yeah. But we're still going to make him the senior senator for one of the bigger states. Yeah. And he's on all the committees, no matter what size. He was a big part

of it. So today is Monday, July 29th, everyone. Six days from now, we'll be on an RV. Six days from now at 8 a.m. 7 a.m. Eastern time. I always go by Eastern time, so I'm on board with what Rob said. I've never known someone so scared of 7 a.m.

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

and I remember this was a thing where people were waking up at whatever way before 8 a.m. to watch this. Yeah. And I did not understand why. Still don't understand it. But they ended up living happily ever after, a wonderful relationship. Actually, Dan, he was carrying on multiple affairs, and then she died in a car crash. I like Dan's version better.

On this day in 1986, a federal jury in New York found the NFL did commit an antitrust violation against the rival United States Football League. The jury ordered the NFL to pay $3 to the USFL. So they won. That's a yay. But at what cost? Yes, and then they got the boot. Was Trump involved in that part?

Yes. The Jeff Perlman book on the USFL is very good. And it does detail how Trump kind of came in. It was designed to be a spring football league and spring football only because they just said, we just wouldn't be able to compete in the fall for sure, not with the NFL. And then you also have college football, but there is an insatiable appetite. Like even back in the 80s, they knew. This country needs more football.

So what if we had a spring professional league? And they just wanted to be that. And Trump came in and convinced enough of the other owners we should be going head to head against the nfl now in jeff perlman's telling of it trump had been turned down a couple of times previously he had tried to buy nfl franchises yeah but it's a very exclusive uh old boys club and they can deny you for any reason they want old boys club and they can deny you for any reason they want. And they just didn't feel that,

uh, his ilk should be along with the Maris and the Rooney's and the, you know, the old stodgy guys who, yeah. Um, no, it's a popular thing to say online, but had they just let him buy the bills,

none of this would have happened. Yeah, possibly the, uh, and yeah. So like, Had they just let him buy the bills, none of this would have happened. Yeah, possibly. And, yes, so then he got into the USFL, and then apparently his vision was just like the AFL did with the NFL. Hey, we're going to compete. We're going to try signing players that they want and all that. We're going to go head-to-head against them,

and eventually they will absorb us, and I'll be an NFL owner. Didn't work out that way. That was the theory, yeah. And so they did all the competing, went head-to-head and all that, but then it just became too rich for the blood of all the other owners. Like, we can't afford to do this. We're not making the money the NFL is, so we can't. But they were drafting, you know, Steve Young,

signed him to a 10-year contract at $1 million a year. But back then, that was a huge deal. Anyway, where am I? Today in history. On this day in 1940, a guy named John Sigmund, Today in history. On this day in 1940, a guy named John Sigmund of St. Louis, Missouri, completed a 292-mile swim down the Mississippi River. Damn.

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

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

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

Jose Canseco playing for the A's was pelted by debris from Yankee fans because in the early morning, the paparazzi took photos of him leaving Madonna's apartment. So, Jose Canseco was hooking up with Madonna. And so why was everybody mad at him about it?

I don't know. I would have been like, high five! Good job! Other famous weddings on this date besides Prince Charles and Lady Di are kind of the Prince Charles and Lady Di of my generation. In the year 2000, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married on this day.

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

Of course she does. That Julia had seen that? No. Did they have like a portmanteau, like a name, like Bennifer or something? Did they have a... Aniston and Pitt? Yeah, I don't know. Has Reese Witherspoon ever been in anything that you haven't seen?

Yeah. There was this one. I was getting a blowout the other day, and a movie popped on that she was in. You know, that's a thing, by the way, Dan. It's a hair thing. It's a hair thing. I was getting a blowout. Okay.

It was before a wedding. I don't normally do that. I want to get a blowout. I was trying to. I had to go to a wedding, and I wanted to look nice. Oh, how was the wedding? It was good. Do you know she went to Jamie's wedding?

At the place where I'm going? Yeah. After camp. Jamie who? Jamie Ben. Oh, okay. I do. I do.

So I was trying to... Excuse me? Do you... I promise to love and to... Wait, what? Don't do this. Can you speak up? In sickness and health.

I can't sign off on this unless I hear you say I do. No, I do. Now, you've got to move your mouth. Well, that eliminates the other question I had. Was it a dry wedding there's absolutely no way that no

people don't have dry weddings no that is like a one in a million thing really yeah nah I think y'all you're it was not a dry wedding

go to the church crowd it was a very wet wedding Blake is familiar with dry weddings well interestingly I'm familiar with his wedding. You know what I mean? And you're not. There was a lot of booze. God damn it. I got an ace in the

hole, bud. Are you done with your story? Well, the point was is that there was a Reese Witherspoon movie on at the place that I didn't know. And that's my story. But she like hooks up with like a, she's a mom of two and she goes out on her birthday

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

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

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

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

and Zeke was trying to wrap a package. Yes. A callback. Which was the most I have ever related to Ezekiel Elliott. He was completely confused. Gift wrapping is tough. Dude, I pay for it now. Harder than you think it is.

I pay for it. I don't even take it out of the Amazon box. What do you mean? You give them the Amazon box? Yeah, it comes pre-wrapped. There you go. In that big green bag though, right? You buy the gift wrap from Amazon?

No. You give them an Amazon box for a present? Come on, Blake. That's pretty pathetic. You guys take it out of the box to put it in another box? Now that's weird. I at least wrap the box. You can if you want, but it comes in this nice brown color.

Oh, gosh. I take it to Hallmark. It's like two bucks a package. Really? Yeah. And these are the pros. They got the best. I didn't know that.

I was thinking like the toy store or whatever, the local toy store, they would have a wrapping thing. Yeah. But yes, there's nothing better than that. I was thinking like the toy store or whatever, the local toy store, they would have a wrapping thing. But yes, there's nothing better than that. How's Hallmark stores doing? There's probably something better than that. I think the movies might have saved the entire franchise. I think they're all going out of business because my wife always comes home with, she's like, oh, I saw a Hallmark. She'll buy like

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

Yeah. You give a nice little card in your Amazon box present. Get the kid to write their version of what they think their name looks like. Yeah. Oh, that's always a good one. That's cute. Amazon box present. Get the kid to write their version of what they think their name looks like. You know. Yeah. Oh, that's always a good one. That's cute. Or if you forget a present, just have your kid draw a picture.

They can't be unhappy. I did my dog's paw in ink. What? And I have the dog. No, I don't. We've made fun of those people before. We did a dog paw in the clay. Was it after your dog passed away?

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

did it. Okay, that's a little less weird than if you... No, it's not. You had to give him a dead cat. Did they just shove its head in there? Like, here's a mold of its face. You gotta turn it. No, it's the paw. It's up on our mantle. It's Blueberry's

paw print. Oh, man. Walking in there like, what's the paw. It's up on our mantle. It's Blueberry's paw print. Oh, man. Walk in there, they're like, what's that smell? Like still a couple of hairs in it. It helps with the pain, okay? Yeah. I just remember the day your cat died and Dan was over there and he was like, Blueberry? That's a stupid name.

Or was. You were not sensitive to the death of Blueberry. I showed up for work. I'll have you know. Oh man. I fought through my tears. I just always think I'm the wrong guy if you want someone to be sensitive to your, like, oh, something bad happened.

I didn't like it. Like, you shouldn't even tell me about it. I wasn't dying for you to be sensitive about it, but you didn't have to be completely insensitive. Your computer went off again. Oh, my gosh. How much do you have it on? What's the rotation? I have no clue.

Okay, you're a lady. I've never set it to anything. You're a lady. It's factory settings. Yes. That's why you're... Your browser is so small. Look at how little the...

I'm trying not to look. Like... Whatever she has going on over there. Guys, why are you all so easily distracted? Why are all ladies the exact same? Is that better? That's kind of better, but you can even slide over... She has a Windows thing on a Mac.

I do. Why? Because this is how it came. What the fuck? No. From the place where we... There was a day where she got the computer that she didn't want to learn a new operating system,

so she just stuck with Windows. I can't tell you all the real reason. I'll tell you off the air. All right. Uh-oh. There's a story. It's a sex thing. There's a story.

Okay, all right. And everyone in here knows I'm right. Yeah, you're a little bit older. So the point is I never watched Dawson's Creek. At least he's honest.

What was my... Oh, Desperate Housewives was mine. Yeah. That was big when that came out. Yeah. What was my... Oh, Desperate Housewives was mine. Yeah. That was big when that came out. Yeah. What was big? Panties? Desperate Housewives.

No, just the show you'd watch with your high school girlfriend. Just the show. Eve Longoria. Everyone thought she was so hot. Yeah. Yeah. What else? Born on this day, now dead.

Captain Lou Albano. Says he a wrestler? Yeah. I thought you'd get all fired up when I said that. You didn't. I'm from the Attitude Era. Clara Bow, B-O-W, maybe Bow. She was like the original It Girl.

It says sex symbol in the 1920s. They must have been desperate, bro. What's her name? Clara Bowe. I'm not seeing. B-O-W. They must have been desperate, bro. If this counts as the, you know.

What's up with her eyes? Is that how hot a woman could get if indeed there was no cosmetic surgery? Oh, interesting. Like the level of hotness has just escalated that much because of all of the help women can get now. Right. Do you think genetics are better now because people in the past have had surgery?

Walter Hunt. He makes a good point. He makes a good point. Was that your point? Walter Hunt, born on this day now, the inventor of the sewing machine and the safety pin. That's pretty solid. Yeah.

And. That'd be cool if you invented the safety pin. Except for life. And Tony Sirico. That's Pauly Walnuts. This is his birthday. Died on this day, still dead. You have Mama Cass Elliott

from the Mamas and the Papas who I think I've always heard died eating a ham sandwich. That's definitely not true. Maybe on the toilet, but I don't know. I think she was all fat and stuff. She was a large woman at that age. What's better? Clara Bao or Mama Cass Elliot?

Which one would you, Julie? I wouldn't either. Well, let's say you had to, though. I could tell you which one I think is more attractive. To save the lives of your kids, you have to scissor one of them. You're saving the... Okay, you don't want to save the life one of them. You're saving the... Okay, you don't want to save the life of your kid. Great.

What did you just do to me? You can't do that. Go home and read him another Faces of Death book. My kids cannot be involved in this conversation. Also died on this day, still dead, Vincent Van Gogh. Now, when do you think Vincent Van Gogh. Now, when do you think Vincent Van Gogh died? This has to be a trick question.

No, I don't think it... No, but he knows we're going to think of Picasso dying in like the 80s. Yeah. Give me a 10-year window. 10 years? How about 100 years?

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

He also cut his own ear off, right? Cut his own ear off. That was this version. I saw a lot of Vincent Van Gogh committed suicide. He also cut his own ear off, right? Cut his own ear off. Made it to abroad? That was this version. I saw a lot of Vincent van Gogh stuff in Amsterdam. That was the stand-by me of his time. Right. You don't hold a boombox. You just cut your ear off.

I think there's a van Gogh museum is in Amsterdam because he was stoked on Amsterdam or he was from there or something. Anyway, we killed some time there. So he died at the age of 37. Had he lived like a normal, I guess, you know, 60, 80-year life, Vincent Van Gogh would have been able to watch Babe Ruth. No.

At 60 home runs. He died in 1890. Damn. Are you serious? I was going to guess 1900. Oh, after the fact. No, I was going to. I did it because

I felt like I was so far off whenever y'all said yours. I was like, I'm not saying a word because I believed y'all would be closer. But I was actually close. And that was Today in history. You want to know how many times I've heard a lady say,

I was actually close? All right, that's it for this week. Again, we hit the road on Sunday and doing our show Monday and Tuesday from the DZRV. Probably audio only due to limited internet access, but we'll see. We'll arrive in Oxnard on Wednesday, then a straight week from Cowboys training camp with a few other stops along the

way. Maybe Neptune's net should be a full week of shows next week. No need for a business Wednesday, right? Fairly certain we'll do a wrap up too. Maybe we'll get Dan on maybe. So we'll do this again next Saturday. All right. Going to enjoy my last little bit of Halo and NCAA before being on an RV with Dan and Jake for two weeks. Wish me luck. We'll talk soon. Thank you.
