That's dumbzone.com to subscribe. Now, on to today's program. Hey Dan, what'd you do this weekend? I went to the DZGSE. You were able to do that because you
were not at a car dealership spending all weekend in the heat leasing a vehicle. You can do that
from the comfort of your own home. In fact, you could have done it at the DZGSE with Fair Lease. They were one of our
presenting sponsors at the Dumb Zone Generic Summer Event. Thank you to the
boys over there. FairLease.org. You can see it at their website. Well, that is the
website, Dummy. But you can click, how did you hear about us? You can select the
Dumb Zone and get yourself a quote. They'll give you trade-in value. They'll
deliver the vehicle right to you.
That's solid right there, guys.
That's Fair Lease.
And their website is fairlease.org.
The proceeding and the following content
are brought to you by No Puppet Productions and the Dumb Zone.
I just realized I am sitting right across
from a Victoria's Secret
Yeah, a hundred and it's not just ladies it's like high school girls and so this is very not my best I didn't realize Yeah. Are you being sarcastic?
What?
Me?
Who?
The music was just jumping crazy and I thought y'all were doing passive aggressive stuff.
No.
What do you mean?
No, I think we haven't been here in the den high atop my garage in quite some time, so
we're just kind of recalibrating everything.
That's nice.
That's our guy.
Didn't you always think that was kind of the, we always talk about it with divorce, but
even a little separation maybe, just feeling it out next time.
Yeah, Blake asked me this morning if I'm happy that we're here. If I didn't have to travel downtown. And I had mixed feelings like yes
kind of but you know the wife's home for summer vacation. And I felt a little bit
of a vibe shift in here. Like leaving the house is okay? Yeah. Yeah.
Like in fact Saturday night, Saturday night was great and you know me, I don't like going
out.
I don't like doing anything.
I don't.
I don't want to do anything, ever.
But I had a great time.
We had nacho.
It was a lot of fun but yeah, not driving downtown.
I don't know, I'm a routine guy, as you well know.
So I get into the routine of,
okay, we gotta be ready by this time.
All right, we drive downtown by this,
and now I'm out of that routine, so what do I do?
So we just had passionate, made passionate love this morning
in that extra, since I had an extra half hour. Oh was it six, seven times? How many times did we do it? I can't recall.
That's just one for me but I just edge for 29 minutes and take care of her.
That's the way you are. Yeah I know. I know.
Yeah, I know I know
All right, so hello everybody it's Monday, I'm damn it down. I'm Jake. I'm Blake Jones. This is the dumb zone
We are high top my garage. I
Think it's nice. I don't not at our downtown Dallas. I'm a routine type, but I think I like the switch up from day to day I
Think that's what's great about salespeople. I learned this when we started having business Wednesday but the fact you can
like go get your car washed while you're working or get your oil changed, things
of this nature. I like that. It's nice. On today's program we have a sit-in. Wait I
didn't get the off-air talk does he not want to
speak what are we doing here he seems chill about it I'm fine either way his
name is Eric are you promoting your last name oh Boge okay I was thinking it was
like McFarland yeah we were unsure were unsure. On ESPN, Boog.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's spelled Boog.
He said that like we're the first ones
who have ever said that to him.
Oh, no.
It's constant.
Oh, yeah, OK.
B-O-O-G, you saw Boog.
Yeah, but are you a community mechanical?
I am.
Oh, our first?
Is this community mechanical cherry, Blake?
I think it is. Is that why he's a, Blake? I think it is.
Is that why he's a little nervous?
I think I am the first.
We've been trying to get this scheduled for several months
now.
Now I see you're a barefoot.
I am.
I wore flip-flops.
Would you?
Should I just suspend the don't wear shoes up here thing?
No, we've made it way too far.
Oh, OK.
I have socks that sponsors have given us
Would you like to wear a pair of I could wear socks?
Okay, I like socks, especially if it makes you more comfortable
No, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just you're nervously looking at my feet
So I wasn't sure if it was making you uncomfortable
Yeah, it's an interesting spot that is in because he doesn't want people wearing shoes in the house,
but then he's like, it's whatever you want.
So it's a tough, but I've done it one time.
I came over here in flip-flops and it felt awful.
Yeah, it feels a little odd, I'll be honest with you.
But I don't know if it's socks.
You got nice feet over there, big dog.
Well, thank you for noticing.
I mean, I don't walk around my own house
with bare feet generally.
I'll wear socks.
Is that wrong? No. No, I don't know. I don't walk around my own house with bare feet. Generally. I'll wear socks Is that wrong? No, no, I don't know. I don't I don't I
Don't know where my feet have been. I have a consistent plan. You know, my mom was real big on like we don't go outside in
Our socks and walk back in. Mm-hmm. That was a big deal. I think I even do that
I'm a wild man. Yeah, I'll do that. I
Will do that, but the shoes thing is that I'm in a...
There's pee everywhere. There's bog pee everywhere.
Yeah. You're drinking it.
And you're just walking around.
Eric, would you take a sip out of his water bottle over there?
I brought the famed water bottle.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with that.
Do you know what was in it last week?
Yes, I heard.
His number one. And look at him just drinking it like, oh yeah.
Like when you have a PTSD memory with it, when pick it out like, oh I know what was in
here very recently.
Life.
Nutrients.
Not only that, but every dish, every spoon, fork that was in that dishwasher.
Would you eat from a bowl that I went number two in?
Had it been through your dishwasher?
Yeah.
Yes.
Quick rent.
Quick cycle. Oh, gotta be pro. Okay. Quick rent. Quick cycle.
Oh, got to be pro.
OK.
I got to get the pro.
Should we do a DZGSEQ recap?
The Qs for Qalys?
Sure.
Just to say I think it was a positive situation.
Very nice crowd.
I'm trying to think
We have to have meetings and in fact, I think we're gonna have a premium subscriber meeting next I
Think we're targeting next Wednesday is next Wednesday the 10th Juneteenth
It's the day we've targeted. Okay, but I believe that's actually three months to the day after
We had our last one and it's called a quarterly meeting. So we got some math going on over here bros
Yeah, don't mention that's three months. I had a couple of quarts. Yeah
So
But just want to have kind of a meeting on you know, what went well, what could we do better next time? I
Think the heat was really bad in the beginning,
but then it felt great as the night went on.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
That's my assessment of that.
I really love that location, the local shacks at Austin Ranch.
And one of the reasons I really loved it is like, oh,
look at all this parking.
Parking for day, look at all this parking.
Parking for day, there's tons of parking.
That won't be a problem.
Well, it turns out that we got enough people there
that they were parking across the street, and then the grass,
and all that kind of stuff.
But anyone who told me that told me it with glee.
They were like, hey, this is great.
I had to park across the street. And I thought they'd be mad. But they were like, hey, this is great. I had to park across the street.
And I thought they'd be mad.
But they were happy.
It's kind of like no one, I feel like everyone
who listens to us thinks they're the only ones who listen.
And I think maybe they're more happy now
that they know other people, like,
cause a lot of people are like, I'm so proud of you guys.
I'm like, what do you mean?
Like, I didn't.
They didn't think.
You know, you ever do that maybe to your kid,
or your mom might do that to you.
I'm really proud of you for not drinking for a whole day,
and just like, oh, what do you.
That's not that big of an a.
I don't know.
No, I know what you mean.
There are a lot bigger things in the world than the DZ GSE but it went well for us and I I don't know. I'm very very pleased it was
super cool people were very kind they did sell out of Lone Star pretty quickly
despite my. I believe Jerry ran to the store. He did. A couple times. Shout out to Jerry
at the local shacks at Austin Ranch.
He was super, super cordial.
He was pleased with how everything went.
And the bartenders, because I stayed late
and closed up our tabs.
And the bartenders were like, man, everybody was so cool.
Everybody was patient.
Because we were getting hammered up here.
They were not.
They ran out of pizza, too, because I
tried getting pizza later. No, I'm sorry, buddy. I never I never
It turns out yogurt at eatsies was the let was my dinner at two o'clock, but that's fine
But yeah, I don't know. I just think it spoke well for us
I don't know if this show is good, but I know that the people who are into it are really really fun
Fun to have a good time with and there's a decent number of them.
So I don't know.
I just had a glow about me for 24, probably still now.
Yeah, I'm so happy we did it.
I'm so happy.
That might have been your idea originally.
Jake's had a good idea, folks.
Don't think that he hasn't.
I don't know.
I like that we can do something like that,
and everybody just gets together, and it's a good time,
and sponsors are all happy.
And then there was people saying, even some listeners
were like, you should charge for parking.
You should charge to get in.
And I don't think we should.
No.
That's one thing I'll say here.
I don't think we should add on.
I think a free event is a cool bit.
Yeah, we sell sponsorships so that we can pay for the necessities and the band and the talent.
Maybe next year we'll be in the black on that. We're a little in the red.
Yeah, but again, that wasn't the point.
It's the long play.
I felt very fulfilled, very grateful.
You have any thoughts on this whole thing, Blake, or you just don't care?
I echo everything you guys are saying.
Do you want me to pile on?
Good to see everybody.
Wow.
The stream went smooth, which was my main concern, and so Clayton and I are happy with how things
went on that end.
Okay, yeah, Clayton was great.
All the people helping us out were great.
I don't know, you start to thank people and then you don't get them all.
All of you.
We'll thank you in that special way.
I don't know what that means either.
Gift cards. Gift cards.
Gift cards and good vibes. We'll throw those your way. We are overflowing.
With good vibes. But thanks certainly to Qualis Roofing for being the title sponsor community.
It may have been the Lone Star once they had a few But they were whispering in my ear about getting into bidding war with Qualis next year for title sponsorship
And I said, oh no, don't do that
dude and
These guys these guys have a good year. They're they're worn with each other for title sponsorship. We could get carrot top
Ha or bigger.
Who knows, dude?
Do we get some internet guests?
Do we get Lutarian next year?
I feel like, and this has no shaded all of the work
we put into this weekend.
And maybe this is just that I've learned from Dan.
Maybe this is also presumptuous.
But I feel like I came out of there like, I cannot wait
to do this next year.
All day yesterday. Yeah. I'm like, dude, we could. But how do we there like, I cannot wait to do this next year. Like all day yesterday.
Yeah.
I'm like, dude, we could.
But how do we like make, can we improve it?
I think we should be able to.
But yeah, is that meaning we get Letarian?
I think it starts with Shovel Girl.
Shovel Girl.
She's available.
All these people that were famous 10 years ago
and that we can now afford.
Right.
Baker head girl.
Baker head girl. What could you imagine?
The first guest that Blake ever tried to book in his radio career.
Could we fly her out, get her a hotel nearby.
Get her a jewel.
Get her a, oh my gosh.
Well it was awesome man and I hope we get to do a bunch of them.
It was fun to do the parody song thing like I have a desire a little
You know moonlighting desire to still do that once a year if I can
I don't know that there'll always be an opportunity to force it in but I miss doing that
Those bands are great and I don't like I seriously don't like to go to things with live music. I don't care
I think and so it's odd for us to schedule a thing with live music.
I don't like to be outside, and we schedule a thing outside
with live music.
But I thought it was on.
When they were on, first of all, I liked them.
This is not music that I don't like.
Love the one that I could recognize from Grady
that the girls had ripped, but I think it's actually a good song
profits and outlaws are
Really effing good man there and they're up for bits, too
Yeah, they were quick to tell me at the end like hey man you want more stuff next year
You want to do some bits where we are ready to roll they want to have us back out at the studio
Which we did last year which?
We're in.
Yeah, they're assassins, dude.
Those guys are such professionals.
It's insane.
Insane.
We ran through the Team America thing
like once earlier in the day.
I don't know, maybe it's because we know them.
But I felt more comfortable with them.
I was always really intimidated by petty theft.
I don't know.
Those guys were like.
They didn't have time for you. They were they just seemed I mean they were old frankly
and you know, but
Shout out to Grady. Those guys were awesome. It was a lot of fun
Yeah, so
Had a lot of time to myself on a Sunday morning
Because that is one thing in the post booze game.
Wife's going to sleep till 10, you know?
So if you've got the kids not coming home until 10 or so,
it's plenty of me time.
Nobody's asking me.
She's hungover.
Oh, OK.
Wife was there.
Yeah, she came to the event.
Nice.
My buddy who was there with her got a picture with all-pro
kicker Brandon Aubrey.
I forgot, Brandon Aubrey stopped by with his family.
He was there with his wife and her parents and that's the conduit.
That's how we ever got to know Brandon Aubrey.
And yeah, stopped by, gave us a jersey, an autographed jersey, and we're going to hang that in the studio.
It's very cool, man.
I thought Clayton said no.
Oh, Clayton doesn't want that hung up in the studio?
No.
Well.
That's fine.
Ahem.
And then I did talk to him.
We talked last night about popping him on the show
this week.
He said they have mini camp all week,
and his schedule's pretty tight. Let let's go he's wide open next week
and I said okay let's uh yeah you know because right now we'll push it forward
if he has 15 extra minutes I want him over there on those tables with someone
from the defense so he's getting to know him a little bit you know building
chemistry maybe a little airsoft paintball. Dude, we have, I
have cowboys for you guys today. Okay, let's get to that in sports, but I don't know how
much else of a weekend check that you have, but... I felt like I got hit by a truck yesterday.
How about that? How about it's not just alcohol that makes you when you have a big event type thing.
I was exhausted yesterday.
So heroin can also make you feel that way is what you're saying.
That's right.
Didn't do much.
You didn't do much yesterday?
Watch the Rangers.
Get a little bullpen game.
Huh?
Okay.
I don't even know what you mean. So but this will be quick recap from my weekend.
It'll be brought to us by Community Mechanical.
They were a presenting sponsor.
They have given us a sit-in this afternoon as well.
And they're our HVAC company.
And you don't want to be sitting around in a couple weeks
and going, shit. I
Should have done something I should hold Yeah
Like just call to set up the preventative maintenance thing at the very least if you need a whole new unit and all that kind
Of stuff that'd be awesome. If you're a business they can set you up as well. They're they're great with the commercial stuff, but
The grid bro The grids messed up. I don't understand it the commercial stuff, but the grid, bro.
The grid's messed up.
I don't understand it.
But it's going to fail.
And then when it does and your stuff fails,
you're going to be like, oh my gosh, was it?
Yes, because you didn't call Community Mechanical.
It's going to be a hot summer.
And that phone number is 469-667-7290.
469-667-729 469 667 7 2 9 0 community DFW comm as a
Bug bogue is not bug is evidence here if you get yourself a new system
They'll get you a 690 sit in of course tell them you heard about it on the dumb zone that is community DFW comm
What you got, so I have a tiny
Weiner and a tiny little story.
Thanks for keeping Wiener alive, bud.
No one else is doing Wiener?
I feel like the last 45 times I've heard it, it was from you after it set for a second.
So I just want to say shout out.
So I was wondering a few things.
Okay, so this
I go yesterday I did have to go salmon shopping for the week.
Salmon, rice and broccoli, although Blake did see this morning that I am very versatile.
What did I eat this morning?
Salmon, rice, and green beans.
See?
Green beans.
How did they, they don't fall into the asparagus category for you?
Oh no, I'm very pro green bean.
Well I just mean on the reheat.
Cause I'm trying to find my lane.
Oh, this was just fresh green beans.
You're right.
The next day they would be so mushy.
Yeah.
I've settled on peppers and broccoli.
The only things I can reheat I did buy the broccoli for the but I was still eating the trucker and
Matt Grimm the trucker made me some meals the other day and I had run out of broccoli
So I used the green beads anyway. The point is I had to go to the grocery store. I go to Central Market and
I parked kind of far away
central market. And I park kind of far away because I bake that in for I just want to get extra this is my extra I don't exercise I don't do a lot so if I
park the farthest away I can from the door I can walk all that way and then I
got to walk all that way back and that's my exercise for the day. Love it. So I'm
walking back I'm walking there and I see see a nice looking lady is hopping in her
car and we always enjoy that.
Partly Mille Fees around the, you know, central market of course.
And she's starting to back out, and I see the cart that was in front of the car. So number one, she's doing what many people do,
and I want to combat.
But she is leaving her cart.
I'm thinking, OK, well, whatever.
At least it's not in the parking spot.
And then I see, let's see, what was it?
I see something still in that cart, but on the bottom.
Like somebody forgot to take it out.
And it was nothing big, but it was coconut water.
So a big case of coconut water is in the bottom.
And so I see that, and I'm actually on the phone at the time,
but I am getting into action mode to be a hero.
Would I have done it if it was a different person?
I don't know.
But it was kind of a nice looking little lady.
And I thought, OK, I'm going to help here.
And I said, oh, I got to go right now.
I'll call you back later.
And I go, hey, hey, hey.
And so I'm waving at her.
I'm standing in front of her car waving at her
as she's starting to pull out and she stops. And I go, hey, hey, hey! And she looks at
me as if I was in New York City and I had a squeegee and a bucket and I was
like, I wanted a tip. She's like, looks at me with disdain,
and then doesn't really mouth anything or shake her head
or anything.
She just keeps pulling out.
And I go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
And then I kind of run up to the side of her car.
I'm like, hey.
You look like a psycho.
Roll it down.
And whatever.
I'm not.
I'm a.
You're white.
I'm white.
You're about to get tased. But I'm also am.'m a- You're white. I'm white, but I'm also-
He's also not Tom Brady.
I am a creep, but do I look creepy?
Cause in my head I'm like, I know I'm a creep.
I am, but am I giving that?
Do I give creep?
I don't know, possibly I do.
But now I'm next to her, I'm like, roll down, roll down.
And she's like shaking her head.
I'm like, wait, what do you mean?
That's my water now then.
Not even an inch?
And I go, no, no, no, no.
Like, I don't know if you think I'm guy walking
through parking lot trying to sell stuff,
but I'm, and I point to the cart.
And now I think she thinks you're mad that she didn't put
it up.
I don't know.
But then I go, what kind of car?
Huh?
It was like an SUV, nice SUV.
I don't know.
OK.
And then I'm like, no, no, no.
There's something in the cart.
Is that yours?
And she just pulls out and takes off.
And then so then I did this move that I am not proud of at all.
And I didn't really do anything.
But so I'm incredulous.
I go, you won't even roll down the window.
Like now I'm yelling at her as she's driving away.
And I feel like Larry David.
I'm like, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
Also, very busy parking a lot.
Am I this scary?
What is going on?
I'm incredulous that what is she doing?
Wouldn't even roll down a half inch just to say, oh, no,
that's not mine, or any cordial part of human society. She's just running
away as if it's a dark alley and it's the evening, you know, I'm... whatever. And then
I kind of, as she drove away, because I was holding my phone, I was talking to somebody
while I was... and I said, I got to go.
So then as she's driving away, and because now by this time I'm in the road with her
because I was like, roll down your way, like talk to me.
No.
And so I held it up and like as if I was taking a picture of her license plate.
For what?
I don't know.
Like what's the threat there?
I don't know.
You must scare her a little bit.
But I knew I was doing it too.
I see you.
Because that would be, for this person for sure,
she would be very annoyed at me doing that.
Yeah.
But then I thought later, that's really weird
what I just did there.
I should not have done that.
But I defend my actions up to yelling at her
and like, why won't you roll,
you wouldn't even roll down the window,
like I'm incredulous.
And I think there's nothing wrong with that.
I'm with you all the way.
Yeah.
Even the fake picture?
I would have done the same thing.
OK.
Yeah.
The thing about it, though, is that that lady is
laughing at the idea that he knows someone that he could
get that license plate to the confessor.
And then what am I going to do?
That lady knows she's impervious.
Oh, who are you going to call?
The city?
I am the city.
You called cops?
I'm the cops, too. You're going to call the state? Oh, I know Greg? The city? I am the city. You called cops? I'm the cops too. You gonna call the state?
Oh, I know Greg Abbott. Trust me, she does.
That lady hasn't had to deal with anybody giving her static that didn't, you know, again look like Tom Brady in a long time.
She just seems a little too high and mighty. You might want to bring her down a notch.
Oh.
You don't know what I could do with this picture? No pushback for me. Listen, you're talking to a guy who 20 years ago,
I was sneaking into that lady's backyard
at two o'clock in the morning and super gluing
a red sticker over her dragon on her Sewell Lexus.
And I was doing that dozens and dozens
and dozens of times over and over.
And then the rest of the world caught up.
Did you, did you take the water at least?
No, I don't like coconut water. I don't really know what we're doing with it. It feels like it
kind of had a big moment in the hangover game but then Pedialyte sort of boxed it out. I thought
it was still great. Are you upset? Would you have taken it? Yes? Okay? I mean, I'll drink it
But I kind of don't know the point and probably a lot quicker than as soon as she like gave me a disgusting look
Birds my water Blake just does it's just stone cold with two walls
Smashes them together such poor tried to be a nice person and immediately you got shot down, but so this is my reward
I'm even thinking that's not her water, though.
Maybe it's not her cart.
OK, but it doesn't matter.
I didn't see that part.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't know.
She just knows you're trying to get her attention.
And this is why, when people get in pissing matches
about the shopping carts being left out there thing,
this is why.
It's because it's representative of other behavior.
The type of person who's just going to leave a cart
in the spot, thereby rendering that useless, is also just like,
get away from me, cretin, you plebe.
I really hope you see her again.
I don't know if I'd recognize her.
They do all look the same. Yeah, she just general...
See the same card, same time.
Looks like she hosted the 7A on Fox News.
General nice looking, yeah, yeah.
She hosted the 7A on Fox News. Nice looking.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
No, that's tough.
I'm a friendly guy.
Listen, I feel like there may be some real estate in us
investigating the fight at the grocery store
we heard about during Saturday night's summer event.
Because a guy that I met outside of my daughter's elementary,
he has a grandchild there. He was at the summer
event Saturday night and had a cast on his hand. And Jimmy's like, what happened to you?
He's like, oh, I got in a fight with another guy in front of Tom Thumb. He was 60. I'm
49. And like my wife was there and like, I've seen that guy at school. Like that's a dad.
I'm like, he's a granddad fight that they say resulted in a broken arm and a ticket. He showed me
That's like what happened. You know what? No, don't tell me. I was like, we'll get back to you. Would you tell people if that happened to you?
Absolutely not
You'd have to hide while you had the cast you'd have to or
Come up with a different read like way you got it how?
Saving somebody from like with a cut or something
You can lie, but that's
That's a tough one
Didn't hold him back from attending
All right, well, anybody else got anything great to add to Weekend or?
I saw the storms blowing in yesterday, so I got the front yard and backyard mode.
That's run the ball guy right there.
And then as it was raining, I told my wife, glad I mowed today.
Oh yeah, that feels so good too.
It does.
I'm deprived of that.
I could turn my sprinkler system off, don't water tonight, and I could save that $2.78
it would have cost me.
Absolutely.
But it felt good.
Saw the new Lilo and Stitch movie.
Obviously I took my three year old,
I didn't just go by myself.
But they're now taking animated movies
and whatever you would call that.
Living. Bananam that. Live-ing them.
Bananamating.
Yeah, live action.
It's like what we were talking about with How to Train Your Dragon.
It comes out this week.
My wife and kid went to go see Lilo and Stitch last week as well.
The cartoon was better.
They had to change some things up.
Kind of like what they did with Lion King, Dan.
You know the bit.
Yeah.
But why?
Why this new wave of doing that?
I don't know, but it does seem like there's a lot of them right now. I was not familiar with the Lilo and Stitch cartoons
Or the lore at all, but my wife who was I I think not familiar with it
Also came back and was like it's just every movie. I said what she said dead parents
Oh, yeah every movie and then you know, we were watching something else. I don't know something else over the weekend
It's it really is an ever-present theme in
Your kid movies. That's interesting Nemo dead mom mm-hmm
Frozen's dead parents we were taught we've talked before about the 80s and 90s
Divorced parents were a big big play mid 80s to mid 90ss, I think, yeah. Yeah. But there's a whole.
Because that was kind of a new thing in America.
And let's help everybody make sense of all this.
I mean, yeah, I'm a Hollywood producer.
I'm divorced.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Let's have Robin Williams be divorced and dress as a woman.
Yeah.
I wonder what the dead parent thing is.
I don't know, but there's a lot.
It's an easy story to tell, too.
You know, it's like a mythology type. Some downfall don't know but there's a lot it's an easy story to tell too You know, it's like a just you need some anthology type some downfall II. There's a lot of ads going on side note
This is probably a gummy thought but uh, I think I thought sewers were gonna be a bigger deal
When I when I was older
So watching ratatouille with the girl last weekend and you know there's a lot
going on in these rat and pear sewer.
I feel like sewers were in movies
a lot. Obviously the turtles lived
there. But I think I
was just worried that there was a lot more going on
underground when I was
a kid than it turned out there was.
Didn't Stuart Little get into a sewer?
This seemed like it was all the time.
What's the one with Roddy?
He's a rat.
You guys watch that kid movie?
No.
I love a rat movie though.
With uh, gosh, Flushed Away.
Great movie. Great kid movie.
Oh this looks cool. Yeah. It's awesome.
Watch it. WATCH IT!
I'll watch it. Yeah I will.
Why are you guys against me? How'd you like the film?
It was good.
You just think the animated's better?
The animated story is definitely better.
I don't know why they had to change some elements of it.
I guess just to hide the aliens or something.
I don't know.
Didn't Stitch change his name to Steve?
Yeah.
Does that get updated a little bit?
Sure.
Dan's distracted.
We were in a theater.
That was a good trans joke, and he didn't even smile.
I'm sorry about Stitch and Steve.
I'm trying to ask my mom.
She had told me yesterday she saw a movie with Rose
the day before, and I'm trying to check which one it is.
I guarantee you it wasn't that.
They saw Top Gun last week.
I was going to say.
Not Top Gun.
What's the new Tom Cruise thing? Mission Impossible. They did that last week. I was gonna say. Again? Not Top Gun, what's the new Tom Cruise thing?
Mission Impossible.
Oh, Mission Impossible.
They did that last week.
A plus plus, according to my mom.
I've read reviews that say it's dog shit.
But her and Rose loved it.
TC liked it.
Okay.
But Lilo and Stitch I've heard is a really cool story.
It's awesome, it's awesome.
But yeah, the Disney animated one was way better.
But we were in a theater that tries to cater to the kids.
And so there's like a play area in the front
and there's like a playground along the side.
I'm not familiar with this.
It's over in Wiley and it's, when you buy your tickets,
you can buy, it's called like screenplay, I think.
Where, so we walked in a little late,
because apparently during kids movies
they don't show previews, because for a 630 movie
I feel comfortable walking in at 645,
just to avoid all the nonsense up front.
But we walked in during the movie.
But it was completely dark, so I didn't know
if the kids area was just before the movie and maybe after,
but Brooks asked to go play on it and I said no because it was dark and he would have been the only one in there
And you're at a kids movie
I thought they would keep a light on over there. Let the kid do their thing
But if it's a kid movie, they would sit there and watch. Should they not have a kids area to go play
Isn't the point of not having the trailers in there
that they won't pay attention?
So you're eliminating it.
Well, then don't throw this other stuff on there.
Just make it just come sit down and watch the movie.
Well, I'm best chance.
But an hour and a half is a lot to ask.
And so about 50 minutes in, he was
starting to look around like, what is that?
And I don't know.
I didn't feel comfortable letting him go over there
No, that's a big ask
I'm surprised you even
Take that dive
To even go to into that theater. Yeah any theater. I'm not doing that
That was a good time
All right
Alright. From the wonderful world of sports, radio sports, scoreboard.
Oh yeah, I like that.
New sponsor here, which is actually an old sponsor to tell you the truth, the Constellation
Club.
Oh yeah.
Cause we had our Christmas party, we call it Christmas, around here.
We had a Christmas party there last December and
we're gonna do a show there Friday June 20th so one week from Friday. An afternoon
show 3 to 6 p.m. a live broadcast at the Constellation Club in Las Calinas high
atop the towers at Williams Square. And they're gonna have bits out
there like $2 wings $2 tamales and $1 drafts. You can admission will be free.
Go to Eventbrite.com search the dumb zone and you could join us out there.
And they're also doing a two-day event featuring Christmas in July
at the Constellation Club and Hackberry Creek Country Club.
So they want you to get involved with that by calling them at 972-869-2266
for full details and to register.
We'll be there next Friday 3 to 6 the rare afternoon
show. Yeah. Alright so we got Jared here in 10 minutes you tell me. Mm-hmm. Um let's
see then do you want to get... We can either do Cowboys or you want to do some
basketball real quick? Yeah hit me with a little basketball. Okay because of
course the series is now tied up at one a piece. I'd really like to
see a long series. I'd love to see Indiana win this whole thing.
You said that you took value in game one, right?
Yeah.
Pacers?
And I forgot yesterday to do anything.
Okay. Because it seemed like it was going to right the ship and it did in a big way.
The Thunder should have been minus 2500, it seemed like.
But I wanted to focus on what happened before the game, which is a Don Nelson lifetime achievement Achievement Award, the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award was given to
Don Nelson. Can we ask if lifetime achievement's a bad bit? What does it mean?
It is odd. So I listened to his whole press conference. It was like 20 minutes
long. It was good to hear him. Yeah. He's incredibly old now, but still sounds like he's got his head about him.
He was saying, this is a very important award to me.
I was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2012, but this one means just as much.
Yeah, if you've already been in the Hall of Fame, that's what that is.
That is not a one year you were really good and you got in the Hall of Fame.
It is for your entire body of work.
So that is a lifetime achievement award.
So yeah, this is probably...
Just seems weird.
We might be over awarded there.
We've already given you the highest honor ever and now this is...
At the same time, we do talk about how sometimes it's a bummer that when you're old,
nobody says all the nice things about you that you'd like to have said until you die.
And you know, you'll hear of ID, people are like, I'm going to have a living funeral type
thing.
So whatever, you know, I guess it's an excuse to sit around and say nice things about a
guy who meant a lot to people.
It just seems very random.
Well, I'll put it to you like this. and say nice things about a guy who meant a lot to people. It just seems very random.
Law, I'll put it to you like this. On Tuesday, I wasn't sitting there going,
I wonder who's going to win the 2025
Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award.
You know what I mean?
Yes, yes, you're wondering about the MVP,
you're wondering about this or that.
But, okay, so,
let's see his first thing that I wanted to play for you because
he's got a couple of really good things in here. I'm sorry. Here we go. Oh first
off let me play you Rick Carlisle was sitting next to him so they had like the
guy from the whatever and then coaches association
yeah, then they had I think Rick Carlisle might even be the current president of the coaches association and
Nellie is up there in the middle
And Rick wanted to give a shout out to somebody who was in the crowd
If I could mention a couple other people here
crowd. If I could mention a couple other people here, Nelly's son Donnie is here. Donnie, I had the pleasure of working for Donnie for 13 years in Dallas. He has the
distinction of a lot of great drafts, but he drafted Luka Donchich and Jalen
Brunson in the same draft, and great that you could be here. Like
Obviously, I guess they were already kind of talking a little Dirk. So we already knew the Dirk thing, but
What a nice little piece of shade to throw the Mavs way, of course right now. Oh, yeah as
Hey, by the way, this is the guy that like two of the five or whatever best players in the NBA right now
He drafted them both
For this team the man they're not there anymore. Are they okay, but this guy is oh they also get rid of this guy
Okay, I can assure you that Rick has a
Very negative opinion of Nico Harrison. I can promise you that yeah
but I also wanted to mention bring this piece of audio up because...
Where's Donnie Nelson been?
Dude, it seems like every three or four months we'll ask that question. You know
there was the lawsuit.
There was the...
Let me see if I can try to
one-shot this mad lib.
You...
tried to, Cuban accused him of trying to use his gay nephew to honeypot another guy that worked there
and he ended up sexually assaulting him.
Cuban said it was blackmail.
Donnie was like, no, he sexually assaulted my gay nephew.
You owe me a billion dollars.
Cuban said, fuck you.
Mm-hmm.
And that's kind of the last we heard about it.
Didn't it just end?
But publicly, as far as doing media or anything like that,
not a word.
Someone has recently sent me, like, he does have a website
and a speaking fee and stuff.
Could we just get around it with that and have him?
Next year's generic summer event.
Dude, I mean, that is Junior Miller's bit,
but it is a good bit.
What's that?
Just all year.
Like, they'll mention anything.
It's just, take it stock.
Like, next year's generic summer event.
He said that about speaking fee things before?
Just anything, like, yeah, a guy who comes up.
Oh.
Like, yeah, but yeah, let's get Mavs man for 500 bucks. Let's get Donnie
We could absolutely get Mavs man computer want to get rowdy
What is rowdy cost options are limitless if we just had rowdy walking out and we had bluey
We did have blue bluey was a big hit
Okay, so this is the meat.
Because he's going to mention the fact,
Mark Stein had reported this earlier,
that he was going to honor Luca by wearing
the newest Luca shoes.
And so he's first, they're talking about Dirk, and just the, they're going into great
detail about early Dirk, and how great it was that they knew who this guy was, but the
rest of the league didn't, and they were just trying to hide him, and he's talking about
how he didn't want him to go to San Antonio to play in a tournament, because then he thought
everybody would know about him, and All this kind of stuff. So they're in the middle of talking about that
But they're gonna they're gonna we do the weave and they're gonna get to Luca
anyway, we stuck with him and then we got Nash in the trade and
And then history can answer the rest of it. My recollection on all that was that
answer the rest of it my recollection on all that was that
these guys got everybody to believe that
even if they drafted dorky wasn't going to go over for two or three years
and so a lot of people passed on them
and they made it happen
and uh...
the results were historic
what a player what a human being
i'm so proud of him. And Luca too, my dear friend. As a matter of fact,
I want everybody to know I'm wearing Luca's shoes, his new shoes from Nike. They just
got on the market and I'm wearing them in protest for the trade from Dallas. I think
it was a tremendous mistake by the Dallas franchise to trade him and I want to I want everybody to know that because I
Learned from the best. Yeah, well, first of all, that's kind of like the clip that's going around
That just out of nowhere. He just throws in this by the way trading Luca
Bad bit. It's a hearty Carlisle laugh to it
Well, it was a great Carlislele laugh but it's such just an old
grandpa thing you know like I think it's in the Bill Burr bit but you're just talking he's like
and another thing like your grandpa's like I'm gonna give my shots off here no one asked. Yeah
no one's gonna have me up at a press conference again. Right by the way. Had they asked me months
ago I would have said this but, but since I've been saving...
It's closing remarks, guys.
It's like I've been keeping notes.
Remember when you said this in March?
Idiot.
But he's going to go on about it a little bit.
This isn't in the Tiny Viral clip, and I thought this is all good stuff.
And I want everybody to know that because I learned from the best.
I played a year for Red Arbach.
I played under him for Tommy Heisen and Bill Russell.
And I had the opportunity on my way, because I always went to the games early,
to sit and talk with Red. Philosophy.
And his philosophy was when you have a great player, Bill Russell, Havlicek, Sam Jones, you name him,
you don't ever lose that player, you keep him for a lifetime.
You put his number up and you honor that player.
And that's my philosophy. If you look at the players that I've had over the years, Dirk and
Bancroft and all the rest of them that I've coached, Nash,
was the exception because we were supposed to sign him and didn't
probably destroyed my relationship with Mark Cuban at the time because he was
prom I was promised that we were going to sign Nash I thought we would be
winning titles there for a few years I thought we had a chance to win three or
four titles in a row but losing Nash set us back a little bit but anyway
My philosophy was always to honor the great players
Not trade them away
to add pieces to that player and
Make him in your franchise the best that it could be so anyway
next question
She's get on with it. So I grandpa. Yeah, just it just it stings like and really
That's interesting that he said that was my philosophy. It's kind of the philosophy of like everybody. Yep
Everybody ever cuz generally considered a law like gravity. He's like I see things a little different
I just try to hold on to franchise corners. Yeah when when I get a great player I don't have all the answers
Yeah, it's never gonna feel better
I'm interested to see what next season is like man like how we're all feeling come October
Because I think so I'm gonna write a kid article this week and let me know when we have Jared. Okay, okay
He's not going to the Knicks,
but just the fact that the Knicks are interested
does kind of jolt you back to,
oh, the Mavs are a team.
They still have an organization.
They have a new franchise, Cornerstone.
If you're still on board with the Mavs,
you're probably thinking of it kind of like,
I'm at zero right now.
We're starting over.
But Kid is there you might want Nico gone
But you have to decide like do I want kid here cuz Yannis you know there's a lot of stories about Yannis and kid
Not getting along
But Yannis credits kid now
But I don't know man. I mean you didn't bring him in to coach Cooper flag
You brought him in to coach
superstars, veterans.
Right.
Especially once Lucas gone.
So that's an interesting choice they have to make here.
And look.
None of it really fits, because none of it
was supposed to happen.
Kirk Henderson wrote another article.
And it's still have to read that.
A lot of it is similar.
In fact, he sent it to me and said, look, a lot of this
is stuff I've said before, but it still holds true. And it was great. And it's about,
like, how is Niko still there?
You can't, a guy that makes this monumental of a blunder,
you can't keep him in charge of your franchise.
You cannot let him be the guy
to build around Cooper Flag.
You cannot let his face be there making trades or attempting
to sign free agents.
You're a joke across the league.
Players think you're an idiot.
But if you don't view it as a blunder,
then there's no blunder to correct.
You think there's some way that Dumont thinks, you know what?
I'm just going gonna ride with his
vision.
Like, I personally think the only way for Dumont to ever get me back, or guys like me,
who are never going back, or at least say that, is to get rid of Nico and fall on the
sword yourself. Say this is it is my fault that we did this. New to the game,
business guy, trusted this guy, I got rid of him. And it's incredible that we got
lucky with this lottery and we just hope that we can win you back with our
attention and caring about the fans and maybe you know what? Remember last year we had another ill-timed announcement?
We're taking that back. There is no price increase on tickets this year. In fact,
make it small, make it 5% or something. There's a price decrease. Like, let's do
something to show that this is how much we care about you.
Even that is very minimal. It doesn't really show anything.
But it's a symbol. Symbolically, it would make people think,
Oh, really? Wow! Like, this guy, just to be able to say I was wrong,
and I'm going to do anything I can to make it right for you.
And there might still be some people that will never be back.
I don't know if I'm going to be back.
But it would go a long way to get me there.
Like right now, I'm not going to another game.
I will not go to another.
I might go to a Luka game.
Yeah, come on.
But why would I go to a game?
I don't want to.
I have no desire to go to one of their games at all.
And I don't care if they're good.
It's not about that.
That was the whole point with the trade.
It wasn't that, hey, I think this could
make us a little bit better.
I don't care.
I don't care if this makes us a little bit better.
Because this makes us, not us anymore.
Like, you built your whole everything on that Dirk statue
is all about loyalty.
And we built this.
This is our thing.
The place that we could have a guy play for 20 years and then have another guy do that.
Anyway.
How's Jared?
He said he needs just a minute.
He's about to join.
Okay.
Well, let's say Jared is going to be brought to us by Lucy then ooh
and that is the

Nicotine is an addictive chemical
Yeah, I was all fired up for the I don't fired up
I wanted to chill yesterday and watch the Rangers because I mostly cleared the day and was kind of hanging out with the kids
Don't love the bullpen game folks uh... mostly cleared the day and was going out with the kids uh...
don't love the bullpen game folks
he was in the car like block out there's a good day watch the rangers and you see
jay lats and after my yourself the rangers have a
middle reliever and jacob lats
next three pictures are
spares so far
you know what i is rolling over his grave
You know what pen games I haven't I haven't kept up with you know
Analytics trends in baseball like I used to but I think it's come back a little bit, right?
Weren't we seeing way more bullpen games like five years ago?
Yeah, cuz the race and then COVID happened and
everything was like they were trying these weird rotations but it seems like
it's gone back a little bit but I don't know I think like when I I think about
like Jack lighter for example and the last couple times I've watched him and
it just seems like we've just completely changed what it means to be
a starting pitcher to a point where when he gets to five I'm like just just go
get out of the game really like after five yes because it just seems like
every it feels like and it's been happening a lot of the past what he's
had two or three blown ones late in the last few
weeks but it just seems like that's when things fall apart for him. It's when it
falls apart for everybody right? Third time? Yeah. It's just a third time for the
order for the Rangers typically happens in the third inning. I don't think Jared's
gonna appreciate that comment. What's that? What comment? Am I not gonna appreciate it?
No comment. You're in. What's up man? not gonna appreciate it? No comment, you're in.
What's up man, how are you?
Sorry, sorry for the delight fellas.
I was trying to get to it.
Bear trap, bear trap.
No, he's at the mall it looks like.
No, I'm at the mall of America.
My wife is here.
She's not gonna just randomly drop it in
like she did the other day.
No bear trap.
We're at a doctor's appointment.
No fertility conversations today. Yeah, no fertility conversations. Can you hold your phone the other day. No bear trap. No fertility conversations today.
Can you hold your phone the other way?
Horizontally?
Is that possible? Am I asking too much?
Thank you. Sorry Blake, yeah my bad.
Is Charlie Conway there?
Oh I wish.
Adam Banks, Charlie Conway.
We get the whole team. I'm hoping to see the flying V here in a little bit.
It's a great scene.
Now it might be a bear trap but you bring your wife on the road?
She comes some places. I mean, we're on a nine, we're in a three city nine, nine game
road trip. So, um, I mean, there's a little bit of a bear trap.
I can't be without you for 10 whole days in a row. I can't be without you.
I think it's more the other way, Dan. Uh, I think it's more, I don't want to leave you. Okay, fine. And are the flights cheap enough? Yes. Okay. I'm using points.
Like she justifies it all. I'm using points. Well, that doesn't mean it's free.
It just means that like we're rerouting the points elsewhere.
I think that's what they mean when they say girl math.
Because my wife will say that, and I'm like,
I feel like I'm a dummy, but we could use it for other stuff.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
It doesn't cost anything.
Points.
100%.
She's not like, I mean, she'll tell you she likes baseball,
but it's not like she's this diehard baseball fan.
But she does want to try and see all 30 parts,
and so she hasn't been a target field
So I think that was also another incentive to come here and plus
story
Yeah, I get the wife will be like buy a
$3,000 couch, but she saved 500 on it And yeah, basically then I have to hand her $500. Yeah
This is my job money
Yeah, so I had a curie. I had a question. I tuned in Friday night
and I had be lying if I told you I knew what was going on with the Nationals, but
There was a big topic of conversation on the broadcast.
I don't know how this was handled elsewhere, like radio and otherwise, but there was nobody
there.
It was like the third, almost fourth inning and the park was empty.
And there was a lot of people coming in like in the third and fourth inning.
And there was talk on the broadcast of like, what is this about?
What is this?
And whoever, forgive me for not knowing her name,
she was on with Bassick and Dave Raymond,
jumped on and was like, hey, I'm hearing
there's a Natasha Bendingfield?
What's her name?
Bendingfield, yeah.
Bendingfield, concert after the game.
So maybe the people are late arriving for that.
And I'm like, man, I'm'm old but is there somebody that's like
Britney Spears
Popular that's gonna fill out this baseball stadium on a Friday night. The whole thing was weird to me Raymond Dave Raymond was like, okay
Well, she might have been on to something because let me tell you after the game
we might Dave and I walked to go take the metro back to the hotel
and we had to walk the concourse and it was like teeny bopper central just like a bunch of
uh teenage girls maybe college girls i'm not sure okay who were there to see Natasha so I don't
think they cared so much about the game and so they probably showed up they were a little more
late arriving for that reason all right so now step two of my research so Dave is
perplexed on the broadcast and it's like I'm like dude no I mean Dan think about
like post-game concerts it's usually like Casey and Jojo or something like
nobody's showing up at a baseball game. Like nobody's showing up for, like for the concert, right?
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like people are not going to the baseball
if there's like a, hey, such and such
is after the show tonight.
People don't usually go to the baseball game
for the concert that is afterward.
Jake, you'd be surprised.
But in this case, they were, they clearly were.
So then I looked it up and it was part of the Nationals pride weekend
Because I looked at everyone a whole weekend they have a Friday they definitely have a makeup for the Rangers not doing one at all
They definitely have something Thursday and Friday because I looked at her concert tours
And I'm like who is this lady and it was all gay pride festivals
Well, then it started to make sense tours and I'm like who is this lady and it was all gay pride festivals well then
it started to make sense did you see who they're having this upcoming weekend
Nelly Nelly it was right behind home plate all weekend yeah yeah and then we
wear his Lucas or what's gonna happen there it's a funny sports chick two
years ago
some funny sports check. Two years ago, we were in Baltimore.
Yeah, two years ago, we were in Baltimore and we missed Shaxx DJ set post game by like a week. I was really bummed by that.
I've just always been amazed by the prospect of that.
Cause who's at a baseball game at nine innings. They're like more,
I'll stay for another 90 minutes. Do some music right now.
I don't know. Kids, dumb kids.
I guess, I guess.
So shout out to the Nationals for having pride.
The Rangers at the old ballpark
would have concerts afterwards,
like Smashing Mouth and the Toadies,
but then they'd do like some Texas country,
what's it, Elliot Young?
Eli Young?
Eli Young, yeah.
And like there were people who, they were there for that reason.
And like the baseball game was a backdrop for them to pregame essentially.
They would, you know, hey, they're selling beer inside the ballpark.
So we may as well go and get a few beers.
And oh, by the way, we see some guys running around and hitting a ball.
But all right, eventually the concert will start.
I mean, I guess I mean, I guess they do it because it does bring the boys to the yard.
I'd like to give the Rangers credit for not doing a Pride night because, look at it this
way, the only reason any of these businesses do anything with Pride is because they think
that is the thing that will, that's the way the wind is blowing
and that this is a good thing business-wise.
They're worried about your money.
The bottom line.
And they wanna take some of that gay money.
And the Rangers are like, look, we're-
Keep it.
We're just not about that.
We're just focused on winning baseball games.
Hitting dingers.
That's right.
No? That doesn't work? I heard the generic
summer event was awesome guys. Boy talk about it. We yanked that left turn there. Our pride
show with Jared is next week. Yeah that's right. We're having a one pride show next
week. Yeah I don't. Don't worry about it No, I don't care. Yeah
I
Did hear it was a badass weekend or badass day. I'm so bummed. I couldn't come out
That's so awesome Ted was telling me about it that the place was packed
He told us to make sure that we catalog that he was there and you were not right no for sure
I get it. let's scoreboard.
I had a weird moment where I was talking to the guy,
talking to a guy at the bar towards the end of the night.
Ted was sitting next to me and the guy didn't notice that.
So I was talking to the guy for a few minutes
and then Ted spoke up and the guy was like
legitimately starstruck.
He was like, are you serious, Ted Emmerich?
Like he didn't care about you.
We've been talking for, like I like, oh, are you serious? Ted Emmerich? Like he didn't care about you. We've been talking for like I said five ten minutes
Yeah, give me his email. Yeah, okay. It's Ted though. Ted's famous. In fact whenever I was done talking to somebody
I would just point hey Steve that's Ted Emmerich right there. I usually got him away. Hey, are you doing Trivia League?
Giving away some tickets?
Yeah, I am. I'm not gonna give you an option because I don't want to be ridiculed. Oh, I would never do that
So let's do Trivia now so that we can get our winner by the end of the program.
Which will be in three minutes.
Alright, so...
Our question for today...
So every week, Jared Sandler will give away a pair of tickets to an upcoming Rangers game
to the people who are in watching the livestream?
Because you got to answer now in the chat. Is that the way we do this?
Yes. Yeah, hop in the YouTube chat. First correct answer will get Rangers tickets.
All right. All right. There are four former first overall picks who have had at least one winning
decision as a pitcher and hit multiple home runs in their career.
They're drafted first overall, they have a win,
and they have multiple home runs.
So I'll tell you, they're all pitchers obviously
who hit multiple home runs.
So that's a question.
Is there any Ranger tie?
No, there's not. Not directly.
Okay.
Alright, well we'll let everybody think about that.
While we move on to whatever else we got.
So, yeah, I guess let's just take the temperature on this thing.
It seems like, so the line up has been rejiggered.
Is that a word we can still use it feels
Uncomfortable to me every time I use it so changed again. They had simian in the cleanup spot the last few games
Let's just get your weekly vibe check
Do they still have the best eRA in baseball second side?
Yeah
vibe check is it there's kind of a sense that
Yeah, vibe check is, there's kind of a sense that it's, I don't want to say now or never because the reality is their division is very winnable.
You know, they're, they're a week and a half, they're like a good week run away from being
a game out and like a good 10 day stretch of maybe being in first place.
They're not in the NL East, they're not in the NL West. So I don't want to make it sound so dire
like it's now or never, but I think there's a feeling
like, hey, we're about to get going.
Like this, we need to get going.
You know, they've got, you know, the twins are,
they're fine, they're not a great team.
And then you get the, the white shots and then the Royals.
And it just seems like
there's a feeling like this this all these offensive woes are about to turn maybe not
in a way as robust as what we would have hoped before the year started.
But with the way they're pitching they don't need it to be the best lineup in baseball
if you believe the pitching is going to maintain.
So I just think the vibe check is that I think there's some optimism that after taking two
or three from the Nationals, they're about to get things going.
But just like anything, I mean, they they got to they got to do it right.
You know, that we can talk about, oh, well, they're only facing this picture and that
picture and they've got some bad teams.
But I mean, here's the deal with bad teams.
Bad teams don't win games that they should win and average teams
Kind of only win some of the games they should win really good teams take care of business like that
And I guess we'll find out whether they can take care of business over this next ten game stretch or so
Did you see the video? I think John Boyd did a breakdown. Was it the Red Sox and Angels?
dust up before a game
So Tyler Anderson and Jose Flores.
Yeah, so you had a pitcher and a first base coach, were they talking to one another on the field
before the game the next day? Is that the case? Like after the game with the incident took place?
Can I just tell you what I did here quickly? Did you trip Goldberg while he was skating by?
No, no. So I found a couch to plop down on so that I wasn't just walking around and I got my phone
out and I could be looking into it. I could also be recording. I just realized I am sitting right
across from a Victoria's Secret. It definitely is. And it's not just ladies. It's like high school girls. And so this is
very not my best. I didn't realize I'm walking now. Yeah. Get out of here. I just realized
that. So I don't even remember the question. I was worried that I was about to get arrested.
I was going to ask you about the angels red
Sox thing I just yeah, I thought that was interesting
Is that they would confront one another no not even that I mean it's legal Stein's sign stealing
But I don't know that the average
the average baseball watcher or listener knows that that's going on that that
The first bait I think a lot of people
going on that that the first base I think a lot of people maybe I'm wrong about this but just think the first and third space first and third base coach
are out there for the base paths and that they're not communicating there's an
Oakley store yeah there you go but the idea that the first base coach is making
subtle movements taking one or two steps forward based on whether a ball's a
change up a breaking ball or a fastball.
I guess I was not aware that was happening all throughout every game.
Yeah, and I think there's an etiquette to it.
I think there's, yeah, it is.
Players are trying to pick up stuff from the dugouts.
I mean, and there's kind of a gentleman's way of doing it where,
you know, I don't wanna, there was a Rangers pitcher this year
who was tipping his pitches
and the team against which he was tipping
took advantage of it in that game.
I tell you, they didn't really do a whole lot of damage,
but you know, maybe it was a game where the player,
the pitcher didn't perform the level you'd expect.
And one of the guys on the other team the next day said, hey, just so you know, you
were tipping your pitches.
This is what you were doing right now.
If it was the Rangers and the Astros and these two teams are going to face off nine more
times, would they pocket that for later?
It's very possible.
The Rangers and this team aren't going to play each other again, so
maybe it was a little easier for them and they're not division rivals to say that. And
then if it's a friend, then they're somebody you've played with. Yes, the guys are constantly
looking. There are some players who are very good at picking up tells, the way a pitcher
kind of pulses their index finger out
of their glove when it's a slider and not a fastball or maybe they're, you know, they
can tell that they wiggle their finger.
I mean, they're all sorts of different things.
And some of this you can figure out on film in advance.
So you maybe have a little bit of a lead sometimes in stuff that you just see noticed by watching
the game.
And that's why you hear a lot of coaches, a lot of veteran players say that while the technology is great and having iPads in the dugout is great and you
might look into the Rangers dugout or any dugout and see a player with his head buried into an iPad
reviewing his last event. There are a lot of people who say that there's an art that is lost
by just watching the game. That yeah, the iPad can tell you this and it can tell you that, but
there's also a lot of value in just watching, watching the other picture, whether you're
trying to pick up signs or not.
And I think Tyler Anderson's issue was that this is a first base coach who's taking advantage
of the pitch, come, you know, the, the button pressing stuff and, and maybe he was being
egregious or obnoxious in the way he was doing it.
You know, it's, it's, it's a weird deal where it's like, yeah,
obviously each team is trying to win and they don't care at what expense.
But then there's this like gray area of like the right way to go about trying to do it.
And I think there's some unwritten rules that make things complicated.
But yeah, picking up tells signs.
All that stuff is a very
active part of every single game the issue when the Astros did it was that
they did it very illegally by using technology unfair advantage to do it
bingo what back in on the Astros out of nowhere
no no no that's super interesting like well what's the difference like yeah so
what's the issue with the Astros?
The Astros didn't do it with human beings in their eyes, right?
They did it with technology utilized illegally.
It's a cool video that Jon Boyd did.
Go find it.
And speaking of value watching the game, did you pick that up from Brett Boone?
That's one of the things he said when he got here is he's having guys just just kind of watch the game
right but that's something that boach i mean i've heard that i think a lot of us have heard that for
the last several years now that uh you know technology has just become more and more part
of the day to day and that the batter to batter and stuff but yeah i mean that brent boone is
that's his wheelhouse right they didn't have ipads in the dugout when he played. Bruce Boche has talked about this a lot that, you know, he'd love for guys to just be, you
know, on the top step of the dugout watching.
You hear a lot of pitchers talk about the value of watching maybe, you know, like Jack
Leiter, for instance, against Tampa started the third game of the series.
And he and I talked the day before about the value of being
able to watch the first two games and yeah you can watch film and you pick up a lot on film but
there's a lot you pick up with your eyes but yeah I think that is one of the things that Brett Boone
is trying to impress upon guys is simplifying things not making this a you know a bc calculus
test and watch use your eyes and if you use your eyes you'll learn things and it's you know it's tough to convince guys who have gone about things a certain
way so just all of a sudden make a change but you know hopefully some guys
can blend the way they do things with the way things have been done in the
past that has also yielded successful results. So last week before we get to
the trivia answer,
I don't think you put in the right piece of audio, Blake, because I'm looking at it now and it's a half a second long.
Do you think that that's what you wanted?
Probably not right.
Okay. So I can't play you the audio.
We'll try to get that.
So we'll get the trivia answer first, I guess,
because we do have a trivia winner
Jared what is the question again? All right so first overall draft picks who have a winning decision
and multiple home runs in their career? So first of all, first of all Jake
there's not a chance in hell that either one of us could name four
first overall draft picks who were pitchers who made the major leagues.
Can you try to name some?
Like Justin Verlander.
It was not first overall.
God damn it.
Uh, boy, is it not?
I guess I just would assume it's...
Like Roger Clemens wasn't first overall.
Of course Roger Clemens probably doesn't have multiple home runs either.
Paul Skeens?
Correct but obviously not hitting these days.
I'm just saying, I'm trying to think through like through your hot...
Boy, yeah I don't know.
Boy, the Paul Skeens, I love watching Paul Skeens stuff man.
I just love it because it seems like every time,
anything he does just makes people more mad at the pirates.
Yeah.
His last seven starts, he has like a 1-1 ERA and one victory.
He's unbelievable.
And the pirates get to mess that up.
Is anybody on it here, Blake?
Yeah.
OK, what do we got?
Go ahead, Jared.
All right, so Stephen Strasburg.
Ah.
Andy Benes, Tim Belcher, and Garrett Cole.
Andy Benes?
Yeah.
I vaguely remember this name Alan Bennis brother, yes
Okay
Okay, and somebody slake might tell us who he is Justin T is going to a
Ranger game for free because of Jared Sandler. Will you have fun? Hey Jake, Jake did we give away a couple tickets at GSE or no?
No, we were keeping our head above water trying to give away everything else.
There was a lot going on.
Should we just play that audio for him next week then? Yeah. Okay.
I'm sorry. Because we asked you to try to work in the place to see and be seen, because you were in Washington, Pat.
You were in Washington.
And you mentioned the Metro, too.
That was a very, we took a summer vacation to Washington
once with the kids.
And me and my older daughter, who is really into sports,
we went to a game, just us, and you get off that,
you pour out of that metro right into, I don't remember if it was right field or left field,
but you walk right out and it's right, what is it?
Right field?
Left field, it's no left field, it's so cool.
It's beautiful.
It's amazing.
I mean, public transit.
Very Euro.
To your stadium, to a a downtown like it's so awesome
I wish we had that kind of stuff here, but
That's why we have elite rides DFW because they won't give us the public transit on that
Alright man, oh we want to give you something to say for next week right yeah, please do
We want you to somehow work in the Oh, we want to give you something to say for next week, right? Yeah, please do.
We want you to somehow work in the 90-10 scenario,
the first 90% of event or the last 10% of an event.
Are you familiar with the 90-10 hypothetical?
No, I'm not as smart as you guys.
What's the, help me out here.
Jimmy Nelson?
One of our favorite comedians he has a hypothetical
Would you rather perform the first 90% or the last 90 or the last 90 10% of that sacred?
oral task
On a man yeah, yeah like on a lady
So I just don't need to go into details.
Because then it will only be a half hour.
Yeah, I don't need to go into details.
I can just throw in 90-10, right?
You do with that.
Yeah, you don't have to say when blowing a teammate.
First 90 or last 10.
Hey, Elvis.
When you're in a belt train, we're just having lots of fun. Update your name. The first 90 or last 10. Hey Elvis, when you're in a Beltray and we're just having lots of fun.
Update your name.
Yes.
The first 90 or last 10.
All right.
Works for me.
Okay, and we will play that audio for you next week.
Next week.
And ladies and gentlemen, that is Jared Sander.
Hey.
See you guys.
If you want the ultimate, you've got Gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price
Give a little love to Lone Star beer as well. I'm wearing that hat Lone Star beer comm is
Where you can go type in what is it dumb zone 21 or DZ 21 dumb zone 21?
Okay, dumb zone 21 get 21% off your merch Lone Star beer very very popular at the DZGSE this past weekend.
And it is, there's a reason for it because it's great. Get that Lone Star Light too. So Lone Star
Beer, thank you for supporting the cause, doing the stuff, doing the thing. Want to take a break and then do cowboy stuff? Sure.
All right.
The Dumb Zone.
Hey, Claire, did you just get rear-ended by that truck
and it wasn't your fault?
I did.
Cornelius Falcon, what should I do?
Pick up your phone and start pressing 3's,
you ungrateful monster.
Frankle and Frankle.
You're listening to The Dumb Zone. So we're on TV Monday through Friday, Channel 27, More 27, or you can go to the Fox Local
app if you don't live in Dallas.
DZTV, search that instead of dumb zone.
And we were on Steve Noviello's program, the 10 on Friday, and according to John Kukla,
it's awesome for Kukla to go out to the DZGSE.
I did not expect that.
I didn't either.
Good dude.
We're in jeans.
Was he really?
He had to be hot.
Yeah, but I don't want to see Kukla in shorts. I don't feel like he's short. I don't know. Good dude. Wearing jeans. Was he really?
He had to be hot.
Yeah, but I don't want to see Kugel in shorts.
I don't feel like he's short as you.
No, no, no.
I want to see him with a strawberry mark
and walk around in shorts.
We see Tony Soprano in a nice pair of shorts.
No, some men are not made to be in shorts.
And that guy's one of them.
I think he can be.
Anyway.
It was really cool he was there.
Before you move on real quick, it was kind of like,
do you ever see a movie about an orphan kid or something
and the neighborhood all comes together
and all does their part and he graduates high?
It's not that big of a deal,
but everyone's better than they thought he'd do.
That's kind of how I felt seeing Emu Tom
and John Kukla and Matt Dallas and the business
lawyer. Like just seeing all these people show up it felt very like I don't know
it felt like we were like an orphaned child. Yeah because they've all been helping us out
tremendously. They had no clue what we were doing. Every one of the people I just
mentioned had some level of like getting us to where we are. It was it was it was cool. It's I was talking to I think our listener with the porneous name
boy
Alexa Silvers. Yeah. No, she gave me a business card same name as Bernie's daughter
Bernie and that's probably that's why it's the porneous name because Bernie's daughter. That's her porn name
Probably that's why it's the porneous name because Bernie's daughter that's her porn name
But anyway, she was just telling me about her bit and operation she had bought out her partners and she owns like a
marijuana dispensary in Oklahoma and
Just kind of talking about how she's doing pretty well and they're killing it and stuff and and I like, why does everybody else know so much about business
and we don't?
What is our problem?
Anyway, John Kukla, who was not wearing shorts,
he might be a never nude.
He might shower in the jeans.
I wasn't gonna say it.
But he sent us information on the Steve Noviello program that we're on.
It's called The 10.
We were on on Friday.
And we have no context for this, so I'm not sure whether to feel great.
But he says, we beat the prices right, the Today Show, and the View.
Like everything that was on at that time,
we had a better rating then. Now, do they usually have an even, you know what I mean?
You just don't know the context.
Right.
Like we beat it, does he usually not beat those shows?
I think they usually do.
Like why did he mention The Price is Right in particular?
Like is it odd that we would beat The Price is Right
and today we finally did because of
You know Cleveland guy versus Cleveland guy. I
Think that what yeah the TV is Drew Carey still prices, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it looks weird
What does Drew Carey he does now just in general to me. Is he like real cut? Yeah
Okay, like that's what I heard. He's and it's weird that he I mean he was a Marine like it's not no Zempik, right? It's like he just get worked out. This is a few years ago. He started working out
He looks awesome, but that's just not the true carry. I expected. Yeah. Well, I was watching stop
I love us. You're in our rear view you and star Jones or whoever does the view now
I was watching some Stavvy comedy last night because he was so great in View now. I was watching some Stavi comedy last night
because he was so great in San Antonio.
And I was watching Tires.
I watched the first couple.
Yeah, so I watched episode two.
And he's great.
I love that guy now.
And I was just wondering, what if he does the Hollywood thing,
you know, the Jonah Hill?
Like, I'm going to get hot.
I'm going to start working out.
Because much of his identity is
that he's a fat, disgusting guy.
And it, dude, it's so funny we're talking about this.
So he's, he used to be a lot bigger.
And he even did like a YouTube series
where he was lifting weights.
He used to have a massive gap tooth that he got fixed.
This has been a thing that he talked about, you know, but Jonah Hill's still
like at his core kind of a good-looking dude. He was fat and stuff but like
Stavvy is repulsive. Like he's intentionally... his hair... he's... yeah I don't think he has that.
He looks 50 and he's like 30.
Guy gets a lot of butt.
Of course he does, because he's, that's the dumbest thing
you've ever said, right?
Well, I don't know.
So does Randy Johnson, and look at him.
Yeah, but like, who's another good example?
Are you telling me that like the most disgusting famous guys,
like Stavvy to me is sexy, because he's funny,
and he's like super confident he's
like sweatsuit mob guy but like you're telling me like meatloaf could just pull
anything Steve Buscemi or something that's a good example is that true at
the height of their popularity I'll bet you they just looking like a rat it
doesn't matter many me was having sex with playboy bunny boy you might have just found the full extension of this they won't get hurt with him
too they just want to see it so shout out to
don't pop it Fox 4 and more 27 all right I want to play you guys this real quick
I've been trying to keep up with the Cirque show they're live Tuesdays and
Thursday nights at 8 on YouTube but I don't know if they played this. But Cash sent this to me.
So as I don't have to tell you guys this, the LPGA
championship is here in North Texas in like a week.
It's out at that the fifth major.
That's exactly right.
It is in Frisco out at whatever that it's the PGA, right?
The office there. It's the PGA right the office there
It's June 19th through the 22nd so I guess they were having you know how they're like a couple weeks out from that you'll do a little bit of media promoting it and
They were in town and they were promoting it. It's the like KPMG
LPGA championship, so they had last year's winner
Asian lady.
And they were interviewing her, that she's doing a press conference,
and it's here in town.
She's asked a question by someone I think she's with,
says she's with the Dallas Examiner,
but this is very much like the Rondo press conference,
where somebody who doesn't normally ask sports questions
is at a press conference.
The other thing to remember though
is that Rondo spoke English.
This is an Asian woman and a reporter.
We're gonna wanna stop and start this a lot,
I imagine Clayton, but let's just go.
Yes, my name is Diane Xavier and I'm with the Dallas Examiner newspaper. Now in the media we don't see a lot of female golfers getting the attention that they deserved.
And now that you're here representing the ladies gang, what do future golfers whether they're male or female what is
the secret of winning that prestigious trophy you mentioned something about the
wind do you know that and do you all have to study whether the wind and that
stuff as a golfer I've never played the game all right all right yes golfers are
very confused yeah again it's the most insane question and I don't know if this has always played this but I tried to find this online because Cash was telling me about it and he's like I can't find it anywhere but I had a friend who was there.
So I tried to find this press conference online, tried to find it on social media and Cash was like hey, one of the people who was there running a camera got it for me.
Dallas Examiner is a African-American newspaper serving the African-American community in
Dallas.
That's common.
Okay, number one.
You've got different viewpoints for papers.
Let's add, let's-
But yeah, editorially, we have a lot of questions here.
Yeah, let's start with why are they even there?
Right, yeah.
You're a black newspaper at a ladies golf tournament.
Oh, it's the KPMG, Dan.
Hypothetically, it's a we want to grow the game.
We want to write about women's golf for our audience.
I don't have a great answer for you, but I don't know.
To my knowledge, to my knowledge,
there was not a popular black golfer there
from Dallas or something.
There was no tie-in.
Number two, if they are there, I don't know.
OK, I'm going to send someone to a Mavs press conference.
Would that person need to say, I've never watched basketball?
Like, hey, I'm here with the champion or whatever.
I'm here and I just got to tell you, like, what's a, I mean,
what's it feel like when a ball goes through a hoop?
I've never seen a game.
That's basically what this person is saying is like you know the wind and stuff matter
You know I get tired does the wind run around out there all day. It's all hot. What do you do?
I can't mean it seems like the baskets pretty far away from you and you shoot it
Yeah, how does that all work and yeah again, Amy Yang? I'm not super familiar with her English
She speaks a little bit here, but she's probably very confused.
Yeah, it's not just that first.
I never played the game.
I'm going to start right now by saying,
So she looks confusingly over to the PR guy.
Before you get out of here.
So I guess the question to Amy is course conditions, does wind play a factor
in it, knowing the golf course, is that important?
Wasn't the question at all really.
You mentioned something about the wind and then, because you're facing so many different
elements and how do you just to get that trophy.
Oh for coming PGA tournament?
Yeah for the KPMG you won it last year and you grew up admiring it.
Yeah, I think that's a good point.
So I guess the question to Amy is course conditions, does wind play a factor in it, knowing the
golf course, is that important?
Wasn't the question at all really.
Oh for coming PGA tournament?
Yeah for the KPMG you won it last year and you grew up admiring it.
Yeah, I think that's a good point.
So I guess the question to Amy is course conditions, does wind play a factor in it, knowing the
golf course, is that important?
Wasn't the question at all really.
So I guess the question to Amy is course conditions, does wind play a factor in it, knowing the golf course, is that important? Wasn't the question at all really. So I guess the question to Amy is course conditions, does wind play a you won it last year and you grew up admiring it.
You said you're idle and now you're holding that trophy that you won previously and trying to get that trophy back.
I guess my point is, what advice would you have for a youngster to hold that one day?
Oh.
OK.
All right.
That was the worst.
What advice?
I guess what I'm saying is what advice?
Would you advise them to pay attention to the weather?
If you do, I don't know how they would play.
Basically, her question at the end was,
what advice would you give a young golfer
to be able to win a tournament?
Which is, you know, generic, but yeah.
Check the radar.
What would you say to all the young women out there?
Play.
Just write your story, but instead.
Play golf a lot.
Somehow we got caught up in, it feels like, boy you even have to think about the wind,
don't you?
Huh, look at you.
Yeah, I mean all this stuff.
You're a steeple little lady.
Yeah.
Considering the wind.
So a couple of things from Cowboys World.
It's just never great for a reporter
to be talking that long.
And you know it too.
That's, to me, I've never been in quicksand.
That's what I imagine it feels like.
Sometimes it happens in radio.
But I feel like that lady didn't know it.
She thought, this is going great.
Killing it.
I'm like a swimmer.
Well, she apologized for rambling. Sorry for rambling, but I got a lot of good shit here, man. Yeah. A lucky swimmer. Yeah. Apologize for rambling.
Sorry for rambling, but I got a lot of good shit here, man.
These are great questions on math.
You think she wrote them down?
I mean, I don't think we have time,
but I honestly want to hear the beginning of that again.
Just because if, now that you know the end,
to hear how she started.
Well, let's go.
It's just insane.
Yeah, we need it again.
At least just to begin. Look at her face at the beginning. Dave, you're in on with the Dallas Examiner. Mm-hmm. Yeah, what's go just insane. Yeah, we need it again Interface
Yeah, what's your question for now in the media we don't see a lot of
Female golfers getting the attention that they deserved and now that you're representing the ladies gang
What LPGA turn of it?
presenting the ladies game. It's a LPGA term.
What do future golfers, whether they're male or female,
what is the secret of winning that prestigious trophy?
You mentioned something about the wind.
She looks.
And do you all have to study whether the wind
and that stuff as a golfer?
I've never played the game.
OK, yeah.
The wind and that stuff.
That's fantastic.
You have to study the wind and that stuff.
Yes, we've, no, I took a meteorology course, a minor,
in college.
And so yeah, we go over the wind patterns, the squall line.
I wish that guy hadn't stepped in.
I wanted to see how she was going to react.
She was very confused.
She was very confused.
So over the weekend, I guess this was yesterday morning, I saw a clip of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CD Lamb sitting...
Looked like it was from a documentary. He was sitting at a bar table at home
Looking at his phone and it was a it appeared to be a clip from the day
last summer
as camp was approaching when Jerry said something to the effect that there was no urgency
in getting CD's deal done.
And then CD just tweeted LOL.
And off to the races we were.
So I was like, oh, where's that clip from?
Turns out on CDLAM's YouTube page,
there is a 10, 11 minute documentary
that came out yesterday.
So I watched that over the weekend,
but that last off season,
when he was holding out.
Nothing really, there's like something
from his draft night.
That's why I was confused.
But it also, over there in my suggested viewing before i was able to watch my
uh...
my wide receiver ones documentary i was reminded
that uh... my quarterback tray von digs has his own documentary series about his
rehab
that he promised that it's out there it's got three episodes
now isn't that only that only out there because they criticized his first rehab and so I watched
So the CD one is about 10 or 11 minutes, and it's just him talking
It's really just last offseason
And it's because he was holding out and we can get into that one in a second the tray von one is hilarious
And I had to check all my dates on this because tray von got hurt in
Let me check all my dates on this, because Trayvon got hurt in 2023 and 24.
Right, Blake?
He got hurt early in 23.
In one on ones.
Yeah.
Yeah, tore his ACL.
Yeah.
And then came back last year and got hurt again.
Yes.
And so when Jerry this time around, Dan, says,
well we think he's approaching it properly this time around,
unlike last time, he's talking about last off season,
which is the off season that Trayvon Diggs is documenting
in this series.
This isn't about this off season.
No, that's what I think is so funny about it,
is we all thought, well, Jerry came out and said,
your rehab sucked, you weren't ready when camp started,
you ended up being half-assed throughout the season
and weren't able to finish the year.
So hopefully this time around, he got hurt back in December,
they're like, yeah, maybe you'll be ready this time.
Well, no, this is actually, this starts in like June of 2024.
And it's dog shit.
There are 15 minute episodes
and it's just Trayvon Diggs hanging out.
It's barely even edited.
You know how he sounds?
He sounds like that all the time.
He doesn't talk.
It's not that interesting.
It's really kind of funny
because I want you to watch one of these.
It looks like he doesn't like working out.
Wouldn't you not put out...
That's why Stavros...
Who does?
Does somebody like working out?
Well, so you remember a few minutes ago when I told you very fat comedian Stavros Halkias
put out a series on YouTube of him lifting weights.
It was hilarious because he didn't want to do it.
When Trayvon has to get in a pool and do rehab, like he looks like me trying to get my kid
to clean their room.
And this is his documentary.
This is also not in a gym.
It's like a really nice hotel downtown.
It looks like they're at the W Residences.
It's right off 35.
He's staying there and they just go outside.
And it's like him and three of his buddies,
there is a trainer there.
They just have like a Beats pill
and he goes through a pretty half-ass workout and again I'm not talking shit here
because the guy can ball and if he can ball and he's committed to his workout
then he's gonna be great. Treyvon Diggs is not exactly what you would call cut
you know what I mean like I've now watched this guy work out for 40 minutes. You don't look at him and think,
boy, this guy just absolutely
pure cut athlete dedicated to the craft here.
And then like his, the way he carries himself
probably doesn't help.
And that he's real chill and laid back and low key.
And then people take that as not caring
if you're not caring.
Mike is not really cut either, is he?
Not as much as he used to be and not really ever.
No, he's never been a physical freak.
Take a look at Miles Garrett and you're like, whoa.
Miles Garrett or even the Watts or Boses to me
look more cut than Micah does.
They always have.
It's different. Yeah, but you expect these professional athletes
to look like bodybuilders, but they're not.
It's a different kind of strength.
No, but Trayvon, I'm just saying,
I feel like I've seen a lot of cherry-picked
athlete summer workout videos in many documentaries.
A lot of them.
And his, somehow, credit to him for putting it out,
the takeaway I had for Trayvon Diggs's off season
documentary was that he hates rehab.
And then like he got hurt again.
And I don't know why he put this out is what I'm saying.
It's not all that great of a look for him.
The CD one is actually pretty interesting.
It's shorter, it's one episode,
but nobody's questioned him. you know what I mean?
On his give and F, he's a team guy.
His holdout was BS.
They clearly should have signed that the year before
and probably would have gotten a discount
because all he did then was career
and run the price up as much as it could go.
So the year before was where Micah is now?
Yeah.
Like he's a year before you have to sign him?
Okay.
Which is why Micah's probably at camp this year.
More on that in a minute.
But not next year.
If he's not signed, yeah.
Oh, if he's not signed, he's still at camp this year.
So just a little bit of CD talking about the holdout.
What does Shoddy say?
What does present mean?
Well, I mean, Micah's, he was at the team dinner,
not at practice.
Right, and a lot of the guys have his phone number.
Some of them his gamer tag.
And they're sort of like not sitting next to each other, but their presence is that bonding that is bonding
so CD
Who knows I always try to think like Dan on this like yes, they sucked
So it's easy to say the holdout and the lack of reps was the reason but I also am not a moron
And I feel like practicing football. they said it helps football CD said holding out hurt them
at the beginning of the year well he talks about it at length here and it
just makes you wonder why they even have to do this After, after bro. They take it so long so, more than the story is. We had a number that
went out the window, I don't know why.
...Lam who's not backing down, Lam...
By the way, that's something that people do is say the moral of the story when they simply
mean like the story. Summary of the story.
The first time ever in your life of not really being able to be at a training camp, be around
your guys, not being able to get your body doing what you wanted to do.
And what were you doing there at the time?
Honestly it was the worst, it was the worst ever.
Do you hear me?
For those who know me, they know how serious I take this football stuff.
You know what I'm saying?
With everything in me, I put pride, body, mind, soul,
everything I got into winning and the result of it
and obviously preparation that goes into it.
And for me to miss out on the right preparation
with my team, my quarterback, my guys,
just building those bonds off the field,
whatever the case may be, you know what I'm saying?
I missed it on that.
And I'd be a fool if I said every day here in Miami,
Greening, the weather was nice,
just as well as it is in LA, where Oxnard.
It wasn't nearly as fulfilling as it would be
if I was with my guys.
And that's just point blank period.
And I feel like-
He does that a lot, doesn't he Blake?
What? Point blank period.
Yeah, he has a lot of those slogans.
I don't think he quite knows what they all mean.
Yeah, he's got a little word cloud that he grabs from.
Sometimes, we'll finish this up.
And that's just Point Blink, period.
And I feel like,
that's where I get to be myself, on the field.
You know what I'm saying?
I get to show everybody what I like to do for a living.
Look at that, bitch, I'm about to have an arrest.
How much I cherish it, how much I treat it to the game.
You know what I'm saying? And yeah, bro, it was a unique situation. That that bitch up, I had an arrest. How much I cherish it, how much I treat it to the game, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah bro, it was a unique situation.
I was the first time I ever did that,
and I'm praying it's the last.
Should be.
I was out in Miami with the guys.
All right, so now when he should be at practice,
they're like, oh, so I was in Miami with the guys.
They cut to an apartment,
and it just looks like a bachelor pad.
It's daytime, there's like a 90 inch TV with Madden on
and it's just him and like six of his buddies.
I was out in Miami with the guys,
just chilling, playing Madden, working out,
playing Call of Duty NCAA.
No!
This is all he was doing.
The next like six minutes of the documentary are just them playing video games.
It's real easy to say the right thing.
What's it like to be one of the buddies?
I was just thinking that.
You know it's funny.
Because you're not working.
At one point, it's kind of off camera, but the two guys in the background are both like,
man, Stephen got to get it together.
Stephen got to come to the table. And that's who your council of elders is, you know, your wise men telling you, you can't
sign for this or that.
It's that, there's a granddad that he's on the phone with, it's like, tell him stop playing
with you.
It's constant throughout this time that he's gone.
What's the point of putting this out?
That's what I wanted to talk about.
The same sort of the same thing, but also with here.
Right now, we're all about team.
We're all about culture.
We're all about that star.
You signed the deal, so you're safe there.
But what is the point?
Because to me, sometimes I feel this way
when I watch politics.
I know that this is just how it is.
You just say whatever,
but it seems to me sometimes if you say something
about someone and then you're gonna run into them,
that would come up.
And so to me, if I put this documentary out,
if I'm Stephen Jones or I'm Will McClay or Jerry,
I would wanna know if my employee put this out,
and I would go to them and say,
hey, we could have talked about this.
Yeah.
I didn't know you felt that way.
Although the Cowboys probably did know we felt that way
and don't care because they were always
going to sign it at the last minute
because that's what generates the most bugs.
Or are they happy because they love pub, they love controversy,
they love eyeballs.
So like if CD is doing a project and that's
going to make us talk about the Cowboys on a Monday in
June then cause the other clip I have I'll just sum it up for you
It's a minute of him saying this was the worst thing of my life. Let's hear it. He's just like yeah, it's terrible
Okay, trying to get my mind off the like
What I'm really going through, you know I'm saying cuz for us as NFL players
Everything is always expected to be good because we got to do we love every day and
we got we have X amount of dollars and
you know a lot of people would expect our lives to be phenomenal which
granted most days are better than others, but
There's some days where it ain't real like you just can't believe it's you going through it.
Okay, I wanna play the rest, okay.
I don't know about all this.
Okay, he's not.
Woe is me too.
He's not communicating this exactly in a way
that I'm gonna be able to defend.
But I think the idea is just, he's saying,
you assume, I'll put it to you.
You assume that just because your option is both of them are a lot of money to you that this would be easy.
But you've been in that situation and it isn't. Right? So he's just saying like, hey, this is very hard for me.
I care a lot about being there to play, this is my identity, and it's very hard for me to look like a quitter or like I don't care
because I have to hold out and
My point is whether that's real or not
He feels that way and his bosses could keep him from feeling that way if they did their job on time
But also okay remind me too. So it's the lat his deal was up
Yeah, so he's gonna be a free agent or they're going to slap the franchise tag on him?
Correct.
Had they slapped it?
I don't think it ever got to that.
No.
They would have though.
Okay.
Which does mean you have one year at $30 million or you have, I'm just saying.
It's all relative though.
I don just saying. It's all relative though. I don't know, it's very, I know it's relative
but it's really hard to, you're gonna be on the team.
Okay, but we're debating,
you're debating two relative arguments here.
You're saying that you had to hold out.
I'm not putting him against you.
Do you feel like he had to?
I'm putting him against Jerry.
But did he have to hold out?
No, but.
Like the NFLPA negotiated this.
But he coulda got hurt though.
And then he's screwed.
Well, he's screwed in the sense that he had one year of $30 million and he's already made
probably 30 in his career.
So...
That got hurt his contract year and it's fine.
A wide receiver dependent on his speed is...
Although, can I show you Michael Gallup's leg barely hanging on in a fresh contract?
He's side Blake's probably right.
But in a normal world, I think CD holding out,
yeah, I don't know that he had to,
but I'm not against it and the team had the money to pay him.
He's very important to their success
and I think that he was subject to this,
you know, whether you want to call it
nine or 18 month saga,
because it's good for their business. He's going gonna get the same amount of money at the end like in
the long run you think that's part of it I do the Cowboys I do and I don't think
it helps the team and if it's not then they if it's no matter to them then do
it the other way like Jerry spin was hey well he won't get hurt in preseason he
won't have to he wouldn't even be playing in this game he would sit there
before every preseason game it doesn't matter he wouldn't get hurt in preseason. He won't have to he wouldn't even be playing in this game He would sit there before every preseason game. What does it matter? He wouldn't play in this one?
Well, why didn't everybody go home ostensibly acting like the practices meant nothing to them any of it meetings like all the culture stuff
You're talking about. Why does it why even show up? Of course it matters
Like you want I remember at the end of last year McCarthy saying
Well, you know, we'd kind of like to have a team in the summer
last year McCarthy saying, well you know we'd kind of like to have a team in the summer or like April maybe even May. We don't I don't want to meet these guys in
California. Anyways. I'd like to save the other stuff want to? Yes. Just because it
feels like that's gonna take us a little while. I got a lot of... We have some really
good cowboy stuff. We have good cowboy stuff for tomorrow and we'll put that in a

Okay. Well anyway, I
Would like to mention give a little love to qualis roofing before we do the news
because qual, not only, well they invented the sit-in, like getting a sit-in if you do
some big business with them, if you end up getting a roof with Qualys Roofing, they will
buy you a sit-in where you can go to our downtown Dallas DZTV studios or high atop my garage,
or maybe you want to pick a cowboy game to watch with us.
It is your choice, but they're really great to work with, man.
I've heard from so many people who have worked with Qualys
and they can't believe it.
I think when I was growing up, I think
I always assumed that all product or service testimonials
were fake.
Until we started working with companies like Qualys
and then we had the event Friday night and there's like half a dozen people that come up to me like I
got a roof from Qualys they're great yeah they talked through all of these
difficult situations it was a guy whose whose whose mom was trying to sell a
house because they had just lost his dad there's a long story and the Qualys guys
like we got it we'll work through all of it we'll deal with your insurance people
we'll deal with taking care of this. Maybe it's a shady industry. Like maybe people get
screwed from like bad roofing company. Oh, you're nodding at that? You agree? Oh yeah,
absolutely. That's part of what I was going to say at the end. Like these testimonies
are 100% legit. Like Community Mechanical with me was fantastic. Own well based on you guys.
There's a lot of credit goes to things
when you guys have these guys on
because they all seem legit and seem trustworthy.
It might be like us a little bit too.
They're a little smaller operation.
They're not the big, you're not just a number.
I think that helps.
And I think customer service is like a big deal for them.
Also, this guy looks trustworthy.
I know it's an audio medium, but he sounds trustworthy.
So this is good, too.
It's qualisgc.com.
He is a public servant.
I'll pay you a salary.
Thank you for your service.
That's what you're supposed to do.
Qualisgc.com.
You get a roof.
You'll get yourself a 690 sit-in.
Qualisgc.com.
Tell them the dumb zone sent you.
Here's Jay with Dumb Zone News.
It is.
Well we could go one of two ways to start things off here.
Cowboy crime or what's going on in Los Angeles?
Cowboy crime.
I think it might have been Michael Snap Friday night,
or excuse me, Saturday night at the DZGSE
who was pointing out the things coming threes
after someone said, hey, did you see what happened
to Boss Man Fat?
Kelvin Joseph, former, excuse me,
Cowboy's second round pick.
Kelvin Joseph, we know him as boss man fat the rapper. Yeah
He was involved in a fatal car accident a
I
Guess the NFL does it in general, but don't the Cowboys have a specialty of second round picks with
High upside but many many red flags. Yeah, and I don't know I'd have to look I mean I'm sure you're right that that is
Teams do it the second round more, but I feel like what they do is like way off the reservation
you know, I mean it was a
Seven out of eight year run or something and yeah Kelvin Joseph Blake only remembers these because
If somebody was wrong about him in the draft
But it's fun to revisit but like who like Jake like me or like Bob it depends on which side we're on
Which one we're wrong on like I just we just referenced Michael Gallup
Okay, oh well. I only put out your hits, bro. I know because he's uplifting
This is a hit because Jake said Kelvin Joseph won't is it hit? I only put out your hits bro. I know because he's uplifting this is
Cuz Jake said it is and Joseph won't is it hit
Yeah, you hit it. You knocked it out of the park. You said this is going to hurt us. I brought it up
Work our way all the way around no, it was a character thing in college like you don't need to
Guys are gonna leave schools now and they're gonna leave a lot, so you can't just look sideways at that,
but when the LSU coaches are kicking you off the team,
like, why don't you just finish up somewhere else?
Kentucky guys, you didn't even finish a year there,
it was just a bad deal.
So it's not you choosing.
Right.
And we played audio from Mark Stoops,
the Kentucky coach, on a coaches show
when Kelvin Joseph got brought up
and he was like, yeah, he sucks. Yeah. And the Cowboys still drafted him. Same thing with Tristan Hill. There was a lot of questions on Tristan Hill, but Marinelli loved him.
And you know whenever Kelvin Joseph was back here, of course, there was there were other incidents.
Trackdown actually found him. Sean Robb. No way.
Standing out by a dumpster or something back in 2022
Because there was a shooting a drive-by that he was in the vehicle over on Greenville Avenue
Oh, yeah, and they had his his boss man fat
Like belt buckle on track down
Yeah, he got like he got back to him a couple weeks later. Yeah
But he did yeah, okay
So there was that and then now this this case is an overnight crash at like Park and Central
27 year old female motorcycle driver deceased
You say female motorcycle driver?
I did.
Oh, she's dead.
Yeah.
You just don't hear that a lot.
No.
Probably because they all die.
Short lifespan.
Yeah.
No, but I do sometimes when I read stories about stuff like this, maybe this means my
life is really boring, but when I saw this this morning,
I spent a good 10 minutes thinking about her life.
That she's out at 2 a.m. on her motorcycle?
Just tearing at it.
I'm just later than that, dude.
It was like 4.30 in the morning,
four o'clock in the morning, Saturday night,
you're out on 70, probably doing 100.
Living life at a level that I do not even know about,
let alone dream of.
Like that's a fee a 27
year old woman with that much tea bro I hate being behind a motorcycle on the
highway yeah it's so bad cuz I'm sitting there texting and doing other stuff I'm
not really paying attention and then what if they fall or something like I'm
I'm gonna I'm gonna kill him and then I got to stay there for paperwork
and just imagine all this how that would ruin my day call the Frankles just in
case oh I would call the Frankles immediately might as well do it now at
two one four eight one seven should I call you want me to call him now right
this second well you're not currently injured but if a a Cowboys second round pick or any Cowboys pick
or any, don't show the photo of the lady during the spot.
She looks like she could be.
You already started the spot though.
You were talking.
She looks like she could be in the Fast and Furious.
OK, she's not going to be calling.
She's in Fast 11.
That's exactly who I was imagining.
Fast 11.
Yeah.
Live from heaven.
That's where she is.
Where I would imagine they still have,
I was going to say shady insurance people,
but either way, call 214-817-333-3333.
The Frankles are there in heaven for sure.
They'll take care of you.
But just think about her, dude.
Like, what was she doing before that?
She might be a stripper.
She probably, like, she gets off her shift killing it primate more than you made this weekend
What if she was Saturday night at 330 then she's she was leaving her shift at Cook's Children's Hospital
She might have been that's even hotter to be honest where she had been nursing
Naughty naughty Lee. That's not really time for them to get off
What do they get all what's your wife shift? Does she do overnight
ever? Seven to seven. Oh what a beating. And if your nights, yeah, 7pm to 7am. So anyways,
back to Bossman Fat, he called the cops about half an hour after the accident. He's like,
I think something happened. I think I hit something something. Yeah So he just kept going. Yeah
But he did call and it wasn't the next day. Who was that Dwayne Goodrich?
Guys remember that one
Also, I know was that a
Also a quarterback guy also a second-round pick guy on the side of the road change in a tire or something like that
He ran over him
Yeah, he hit a mid Samaritan
Actually was in a fantasy football league with him after he got out of jail
Okay got anything from that no nothing remarkable you guys ever asked good rich plays fantasy football
Was he good?
No, no, it's like somebody else was drafting for him.
Boy, is Dwayne Goodrich a big enough deal to have a GM?
Like, Dan's one thing, but...
Yeah, we had Popeye Jones, Dwayne Goodrich, there was a bunch of strange outlier sports
people.
Well, Kelvin Joseph got out of jail yesterday.
And, yeah, it's a tough one.
This just hours...
He could write a rap about this.
I'm sure he will.
I'm sure he will.
This just hours after there was a news story that fellow cornerback Pac-Man Jones was arrested. This was pretty
straightforward. Just your basic public intox at a club. What do you mean? How do you get
arrested for that? That's the point of being at a club. Yeah and to be publicly
intoxicated. His lawyer sounds like, it sounds like he got like 22 year old me That or Randy Marsh at a youth baseball game
He's got a bit lippy Peter Schaefer his agent says that he quote had done nothing wrong
He says initially officers claimed he was being arrested for assault. They shifted that to public in talks
Finally settled on disorderly conduct
Man I'm always innocent He's innocent till proven guilty.
My conduct is very orderly. Yeah. By the way, quick aside... By the way when I said
three, Greg Hardy was our story on fire. Oh I'm sorry. No I was just saying we had
Greg Hardy and then over the weekend we had Pac-Pen and it was a big... I mean did
you know it's silly season for the NFL though right now.
Did you see in wide receivers with pink cocaine on boats?
This is probably why they do.
All pro kickers are going to live podcasts.
They do voluntary mini camps.
People are going crazy.
That's all it is.
That's all, my brother would tell me that all the time
when he worked for the Saints.
Just try to get you guys around.
Yes, just space it to where you can hope you can keep
them out of trouble.
We don't really want you to work on football.
I thought you were going to shave your mustache
after the DZGSE.
But Blake has kept the mustache.
I'm so onto this.
What?
He said he was going to shave it so that what would happen
would happen, which was every single person came up to him,
including his buddy Dan, is like it looks great
I was standing with him the whole all day people like looks great looks great looks great and now he's gonna keep it
Yeah, cuz people said it looked great, but the only reason they said that is cuz he's like no we're shaving
I do I still think I look ridiculous, and I don't feel great playing pickup basketball with a mustache
Oh, that's great. It is really the genesis of this.
You get an extra foul.
I just feel dumb.
I feel real dumb with it.
Dropping my kid off at school, I feel dumb.
No.
It's good bit.
Should we send him down to the hood or something
to walk around and get him one of those,
it looks like the female body inspector shirt does look like a like a real FBI shirt
If your question is do I want to send my friend and co-worker in?
State police costume into a bad part of town right now looking like that the answer better be yes
Only with clay yeah, we got a and Henry you know to record video and audio
Yeah, but no he looks he looks like a way he would hide
There are people would hide like he looks yeah, he looks like a cop
It's I don't know how long I'll keep it, but I will shave it at some point
Anyways, yeah OTAs. They got to keep their kickers in there
Do you think like you think maybe we could Gillette sponsorship like they once we're gonna pay ZZ top, they got to keep their kickers in there. Do you think like, you think? Maybe we could get Gillette sponsorship.
Like they once were going to pay ZZ Top a million dollars
to shave their beards.
Okay.
Like so if we can get somebody to pay you a million dollars
to shave that, will you do it?
What do you think of it?
You're a firefighter.
Without a mustache.
My question was, and maybe y'all have covered it before,
but what does your wife think about it?
Because that's why I don't have one.
Mustaches are a big player in the fire service
and my wife would absolutely disown me
if I had anything that resembled that.
She just knows our show is stupid
and she just puts up with it.
Okay. Doesn't care.
Yeah, now my wife, your wife is obviously more tolerant
than mine, mine would have none of that.
I just feel like-
Why don't you tell her who the man is?
That would make me want to grow up more.
I just, okay, I don't know Blake's wife that well, right?
I don't know her that well at all.
But I do know that he does often reference
that she grew up in Haltem City
and the fact that he is morphing into
like an eighties National League coach.
Every guy I remember playing softball over it like in EO in like
1991 looked exactly like that
And that's I bet she loves it is what I'm saying. She's kind of into it. I bet she loves it
You do look like a softball player I am
Checks out mass solid
I am. It's not that bad.
Checks out.
Just solid.
Anyways, were we talking about something else
besides Greg Hardy?
I don't know.
Pac-Man got arrested.
Yeah, there's that.
Disorderly.
What about Greg Hardy?
No, we did that one.
We're good there.
No, I was just wondering, you know, who else?
Is it like, is,
aren't we due for like, are Jerry Brown?
No, who is it?
Josh Brown.
Josh Brent.
Who lived? Josh Brent like is our Jerry Brown? No, who is Josh Brown Josh Brent who lived Josh Brent? Mm-hmm
Jerry Jerry
Calangelo
Jerry Brown
a man tubing and
Palo Peno
This is a possum kingdom 23 year old man killed by a boat propeller yesterday
dude 23 year old man killed by a boat propeller yesterday dude
So we did who being that's rough we did the show at PK last year we've been asked to go back I want to go back. I thought do you
Do you?
It's a long way
Was it I
Saw we have like a two-hour trip the... I saw those boys the other day. On the schedule.
What are we doing? Which one? I got a ranch. Oh, that's the place where we can
blow stuff up with dynamite and talk about Missy Beavers. We gotta go to that one.
Bringing my guns. It's the guy who wrote the OJ book. Yeah, we gotta go there.
The security people. I'm sorry. That's gonna be a badass show. Blake's, yeah.
Blake's fired up. They were talking about it the other day.
Where was that?
Was that at the event?
Yeah, yeah, he was there.
Is it gonna be inside?
We will be inside, yeah.
All right.
You don't have to blow anything up.
I might blow something up.
I'd like to go.
The guy was tubing.
Oh, yes, sorry.
Which does go back to- So the rope was a little too close to the- Well, no, it, sorry. Which does go back to-
So the rope was a little too close to the-
Well, no, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't his boat.
It was another vessel.
And the operator of that vessel had been drinking.
Well, he was out on Possum Kingdom Lake. Of course he had. that vessel had been drinking.
Well, he was out on Possum Kingdom Lake, of course he had. And that, man, I remember, you know, I was pretty old
when I found out that it was illegal to drink on a boat,
like that it was illegal to drive a boat drunk.
Just never occurred to me.
Like, well, everyone seems to be doing it.
It does seem like law doesn't exist out there.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't,. There's implication all over the place. When's the last time Dan, when's the last
time you went tubing? I don't even know if I've ever tubed. I think I might have,
but I thought it sucked. Really? Because you just lay there like, I'm a water
skier bro. We're slalom skiing or nothing. Do you think you'll ever do that again? Yeah, I
Got to be invited out on a boat because I'm not gonna get my own boat. No, of course not
I do not desire that what about you? Yeah, you think I won't tube or a water ski anymore
I think you I just don't I've known you for a while now
And I don't know how many occasions are coming up where you're going to be able to go, I can't water
ski at all. Like you just can't, the balance? I could never either. I think I've only tried
once. Tried one time and just never really, I've never really been around it. Well I was,
as a kid we used to do that. Yeah, you had the one dad. Dad had to treat us right every other weekend.
Yeah.
Is this what you mean by 80s NL manager?
Yeah, if you're watching on YouTube, we got some great photos back from the event.
There's one photo that the guy sent us.
Listen, we're not reading our charts.
We knew he was off speed first pitch.
We're not reading it.
We're not running out our ground balls.
Brett Boone didn't have to talk to you about just watching the game. You're not reading it. We're not running out our ground balls. Brett Boone didn't have to talk to you about just watching the game
You know, you're not reading analytics and if we could get a goddamn pitcher to throw a first pitch strike would be much better shape
I think I'm avoiding the lake on a holiday for the rest of my I still love tubing dude. I
Don't want wanna give that up.
But it feels like you're asking for it at this age.
Am I too old?
Would you do it?
How old are you?
45.
Would you go tube at a lake, at a busy lake?
I'm kinda with Dan on this one.
I'm not a tuber.
I think if I was gonna do it, I'd be skiing.
It feels real kid's table. Or weight boarding.
Weight boarding is what all the kids are doing these days.
Can't do that either.
Yeah.
Is wakeboarding like?
It's like on a small surfboard but you're much closer to the boat.
I could see the propeller thing being an issue there if you had some janky set up but most
of the people wakeboarding are in those real high dollar boats that don't have propellers. Dude if you... I could be surf guy. The prices on some of those are comical.
Like 200 grand. Yeah. For what? Like a wakeboard boat. Just insane. But if we
lived in California I think I could become surf guy. You and I's bodies. You'd have to do it over and
over. Like we did it a lot in like an hour and we got up like once or something.
It's exhausting too.
It is.
You've got to age out of that at some point because that's just exhausting getting out there.
But it's great exercise.
Yeah, no doubt.
And then you don't have to go to the gym. You don't have to go walking.
Yeah, no, he knows.
Get Stavvy doing that. He's like like what if I did that plus saved lives yeah
It's the way of the fire. I want the ultimate. I get my exercise from saving lives. I
Saw this headline
And WFAs website
Made me think Blake needs to see this the headline simply. What is a PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch? Breaking down the rare classifications.
I thought of you guys when I saw this on Twitter.
What is a PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch?
Breaking down the rare classification.
So we had very big weather this weekend.
Blake and I were both talking about.
I just have a desire.
When I see that it's swirling up there,
I'm like, I want to see the local weather guys sweat.
I wanna see all of them battling back and forth.
Now, last night, because of the finals
and because of something else I wanna say,
Fox was the only local channel
that was on weather at one point.
Hell yeah they were.
But, so this article's up, and it's the lead.
A PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect across North Texas Sunday night into early
Monday morning.
A PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch is a type of alert indicating that the threat of damage
from a storm system is unusually high.
Again, now you'll notice I haven't told you what PDS stands for yet.
Is the D derecho? So I just kept going down and kept going down
The term quote
Particularly dangerous situation no was first introduced in
1982
We're not doing that
Like are you allowed to just take basic speech,
put a couple letters on it, and be like, I have an acronym,
or whatever it's called?
No.
You can't just walk around saying, hey, look out.
Was Dan Henry in?
It's a CBS storm.
No.
Was it Dan Henry?
And listen, I'm not saying, I'm not
questioning Dan Henry's commitment.
That man's got a family, I'm sure. I need the big gun and listen. I'm not saying I'm not questioning Dan Henry's commitment. He's that man's got a family
I'm sure I need the big gun the big gun in there. I know there's very few PDS's I
Don't I'm guessing Delkis is there but I don't know well I didn't stick around after basketball is the thing
Because that's how you know, it's like it's weather but it's not that bad
It's like it's weather, but it's not that bad It's like whoa
It's real weather out there. You think it's you're gonna be fine
You're probably gonna be fine and they can run like the finals, you know
without going away with from it, I
Just remember Delkis or somebody tweeted. I was trying to find the thing yesterday
But it kind of said, you know, there's these severe things
And especially bad like on the something line like the squall line
And so then they put a map up but I didn't know where the squall line
Like I don't know am I in the like you got to tell us that too. I don't know where all you
Everybody went to weather school. It seems like because every time we talk about this, I get 20 people that are like,
you were the dumbest person alive.
How do you not know about the polar cobblestone vortex
undertow of the squall line when it comes in from the east
and what that does to the rota, I'm like, how to all,
I just missed it, I guess.
And how do they know if they're predicting
it's going to come in a couple of hours?
Quarter size hail. Like, how do they know if they're predicting it's going to come in a couple of hours? Quarter size hail. Like how do you know?
We don't wait. Like you know by looking at that thing that hail will be the size of
Why does that bother you?
Serious coins. Models. I don't know.
Ooh, models probably. NAI. There's your dues.
You didn't even tell us about Los Angeles.
Yeah, we skipped it
So everything's fine

Unc Monday June 9th. I'm celebrating my Clayton Holmes birthday

Highly doubt I get woken up in that special way
But I'll continue the tradition of asking
for my birthday.
On my birthday, leaders are Jake and Donovan, proud member of the Blee Hive.
More Jake, more Blake, more AI R&B, Team Les Heppela from Eric P.
Sarah came out Saturday night, unleashed those puppies, and she was dressing for success.
Sure.
She has to see the vibrator, and when I gave it to her, she was like, oh, this is no good.
She's a connoisseur, apparently. Later told me she's very well aware of that,
and she thought that was a bit too much.
Like that vibrator, she's been intimately involved.
Because apparently it uses air or something.
In her words, it was like she said,
it's like having a fan blow on your clit.
And apparently that's bad. Well, I don't have a clip, but that sounds great. It's just j a fan blow on your clit. And apparently that's bad.
Well, I don't have a clit, but that sounds great.
It's just jarring to hear from a super smart person.
Very nice words about our operation and our audience.
Dear Dan, I'd like to give an extra special shout out
to my wife Janelle on our 18th wedding anniversary.
Yes, we got married on 6-9. Yes, the date was chosen because it's funny. And yes, it was actually her idea.
My leaders are Blake and Jimmy Nelson. Her leader is Sarah Heppala.
You better have had a little bit of a unique twist on wedding night then.
Come on, man.
Like, did they celebrate with that?
Well I would imagine if they went through all that and the guys gotta be laying there like are
we not? Did I miss the we did all this? Like come on. There is an implication. Sure. Wouldn't it be a
better reward if you just didn't do that? Tell Blake I was captain of the Argyle football team in 2002 and see what he says.
What's his name?
God, you want to talk about where it used to be a field.
There might have been 10 people living there.
Jacob Payton.
That had to be the first year they had a football team.
Yeah, that's what it says. 1-9. nine 2002 is their first season and his wife is Janelle the only season with a pick attached
That pick will go on the wall at some point
We have

And dear Uncle Womb Wiggler, today my friend Austin and his wife are having their baby.

A dumb zone baby born on 6'9".
My leaders are Jake's Lake House Picnic Table and Run the Ball Blake.
Would like to start a competing beehive for Brandon Aubrey.
I will be the guy wearing his jersey
when you come up to Denver.
My dream is to share a J with Dan.
Dude, how did you even do that?
That's Alan from Colorado Springs.
I feel like you just threw your voice.
Like a ventriloquist or something.
It's a real wet one. It did have a gravy like little soppiness to it. Yeah so what
would it be called? We should ask him. Well he wants to call it the Beehive.
Oh it needs to be something else. But we have been talking about going to
Colorado. We need to do this like at the top of a show or something, but I don't know, let's say
you have a place for lodging for your friends or something.
I don't know, like anybody want to help out your boys?
Maybe you got a good place that you'd like us to broadcast, like a public.
We want to definitely go to some kind of a bar or something, but we're gonna go there for the Friday before and the Monday after a cowboy game.
Yes, that is right. We'd like, again, a place to do the show and a place, you know, a place to stay.
Not your house.
Now, we'll get an Airbnb and pay for it.
And in fact, if you have an Airbnb and you say, hey, I'd want you guys to pay for it. Then we will I
Want to support those who support us and I don't know much about the geography of Colorado, but if you also offer it for free
Deon of the boys out of town
Not sure if you really even care anymore without Travis Hunter and
We'll be watching oh, okay, I was gonna say we could go yeah, but they are not in town sure if you really even care anymore without Travis Hunter and.
Oh, we'll be watching you. OK, I was going to say we could go.
Yeah, but they are not in town.
I'm busy that day.
OK, today is Monday, June 9th.
These are some on this day now.
In 1963, we had the first ever Sunday night baseball
game in Major League history.
That's earlier than I
would have thought. Because there was excessive heat in Houston and they didn't
have the dome yet and so they asked for permission for Major League baseball and
they granted that. On this day in 1973 it was the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years, Secretariat.
Was the name of a horse.
By the way, that's like the standard prediction I made that's way too far into the future
to really press me on it that people will bring up. You know, cause the most recent one is that we're gonna be,
we're doing away with waiting.
And people are like, oh, what about horse racing?
I feel like horse racing is on the down,
is on the down, the decline pretty significantly.
Do you guys not feel that way?
You had it dying between 2030 and 2035.
Now I realize that's like not, it's just not really
that fun of a prediction because everyone's like,
I don't know, who cares?
That's a long way away.
It's nothing funny about that.
But it's, I do.
I'm with you that it's had a bigger day.
Among the things that are like coming back culturally
and whatever, I don't think horse racing is one of them.
I think it's over.
It doesn't, I don't think it's got the juice anymore.
And on this day in 1980, Richard Pryor, comedian,
was free-basing cocaine and he burned himself.
Almost fatal burns.
And then he went on to still do bits and good stuff. Right.
Didn't he like have a comedy show after that?
Yo, yeah.
On this day in 1989,
Barry Switzer resigned as head coach of Oklahoma's team due to a recent
NCAA probation and criminal
conduct of his players. Dan? On this day in 2012 what? I thought you like don't
you give the line? Wasn't it the raping? Oh I don't remember what. Is that from like I
thought that was from like an essay the raping, doping, shooting. On this day in 2012, Matthew McConaughey got married.
He was 42.
She was 30.
He's still married to her.
Spell McConaughey.
Me?
Yeah.
MCCONAUGHEY.
That's right.
Great job.
On this day in 2019, David Ortiz,
Kiffin, retired, was shot in the back in his native Dominican Republic
by a man who police said was a hired gunman, but he was actually trying to get somebody else.
Yeah, who knows, man. That was a a that whole story is crazy I mean you're in
the Dominican but there was a video of that people just kicking the piss out of
the guy that shot him turns out shooting David Ortiz in the Dominican Republic in
public can get your card pulled pretty quickly the cops not exactly jumping in
On this day in 2022 Brittany was married
Brittany Spears marries fitness trainer Sam as Gary. Oh, yeah, I forgot she's married in Thousand Oaks
Well, no didn't last long. She has since separated from him.
During this particular wedding though.
Yeah, the guy.
Her ex-husband named Jason Alexander,
not George from Seinfeld, was arrested for trespassing
and stalking after he crashed the wedding.
That is, and he was hammered.
That is such a great story.
Cause it's so right out of a movie that this guy's like,
I promise I used to be married to Britney Spears.
Like, get him out of here.
He's all fat.
Other birthdays today, we have Peja Stojakovic, who's 48.
Whose son is tearing up the circuit.
Is he?
The circuit. Is he? The circuit. Like he's a college player I think. Illinois this year. Gotta have fond memories of Paisa. Oh me? Yeah. Oh my
gosh yes but I... The late season edition that year? I loved watching who didn't
the Sacramento teams you know. I hated them, but they had white chocolate Bubba Thompson 28

Who was on our show?
Bubba Thompson Rangers first-round pick in 2017 Walker steel steel Walker steel Walker. Yeah
Josh cribs 42 He likes pot Steel Walker. Steel Walker. Yeah. JoshCribbs42.
He likes pot.
TeddyBruiski52.
Dude, did you see that clip the other day from TeddyBruiski?
Possibly a fake teeth cautionary tale.
Oh, really?
It went bad?
I just don't know. Maybe you have to look at them.
No, so there was, I heard Golden Tate being interviewed the other day on Bustin' with the Boys.
And do you remember like the famous Seahawks-Percy Harvin locker room fight?
Before the game? Dan, do you recall that at all?
Somewhat. Well Percy Harvin had not played all year.
And came back and played in that game and
Got a fist fight with a couple guys in the locker room. Maybe the day before the game
But anyways, it was just one of those deals where Percy Harvin hadn't played all year. Somebody asked Golden Tate
Hey, what's it gonna be like to have Percy back and Golden Tate gives the you know, he's great, but
We got here, you know, we believe in the guys we got.
And over the course, that's just some throwaway answer
at like media day of the course of answering
thousands of questions and it gets back to Percy Harvin
next thing, they know they have like a full on fist fight.
Just made me think about how dumb the concept
of the media really is.
Like that question didn't need to be asked, didn't need to be answered.
But it was innocuous too, what's it like to have him back?
Percy Harvin's crazy.
It's great but...
Ends up in a full on fist fight.
Just want to also promote your other guys.
I thought that fight was about, because he was real patriotic and he was mad that they
burned the flag.
Yup. Udonis Haslem is 45. Is he still playing? patriotic and he was mad that they burned the flag yeah who Donnis Haslam
is 45 is he still playing is he a Hall of Famer no 20 year career average seven
points a game I think see those career I think he's a coach now, right? Dick Vital, 86.
Gary Thorne, 77.
Michael J. Fox is 64.
He's in something now, right?
Something new?
I believe he is.
Have you seen the bit where I've seen somebody interviewed
saying Michael J. Fox basically with meds.
The meds these days are great and he's living with Parkinson's fine, but that he has like
an annual benefit.
Oh, I've heard this theory.
And like two weeks before the benefit he stops taking his meds.
And so when he's up on stage at the benefit, he's all can't talk
There's no way that's true is it I
Like to I want to believe that that's true that sounds great
It's so funny too because when I've heard that before in my head I imagined like they start a couple weeks out but for the few days before he's like a like an animal
Like they start a couple weeks out but for the few days before he's like a like an animal like they have to keep him in A cage because it's he has a had need a long time and he's just really spazzing out
Like if he walked like he just walked out there like hey, yeah, I have Parkinson's. It's terrible. You should donate
Yeah, it sounds like five dollars to your fine. It sounds like we're doing well
Why donate more? Yeah, but cancer though, you know, they call it the silent killer.
Natalie Portman is 44.
Aaron Sorkin is 64.
I know you hate him.
I really, really do.
As a professional.
Johnny Depp is 62.
Legend.
That's really hard to wrap your head around.
And then I have two for my birthday of the day.
Now Henry hasn't sent me a Henry birthday of the day, so I don't know if he has one
or not.
Intern Henry is here, high atop my garage.
Oh, I got something for you.
Okay, my, our birthday of the day, I had two which I settled on not.
The runner up is TD. Jakes Wow
Yeah
local legend
Local legend recently stepped aside or stepped down from his position of leadership after he had a medical episode on stage
that medical episode
Curiously came on the heels of him being implicated in the diddy speculation and the
freak-offs and booty holes and all that.
What's going on over there?
Stay woke.
But my birthday of the day, I'm giving it to Mae Whitman.
She's 37.
She was an Anne, or sometimes misidentified as as Egg on Arrested Development.
Was Michael Cira's girlfriend.
And Henry, Intern Henry, will bring us his Intern Henry birthday of the day.
Okay.
Alright, so I really wanted to go with Natalie Portman, but you know that was...
And why is that why?
Padme like
What I'm Star Wars just Padme from Star Wars
Okay, I don't know a whole lot about her, but I think she always creeped me out because I think
Guys older than me seemed to into her when she was young.
Am I explaining that properly?
Yeah, but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing.
You're not one of those.
And you're not.
You're a kid.
But I just remember like, she's 13, 14, 15.
Oh, okay.
That, yeah, that's an issue.
And your uncle's like, hey, man, you're a c-lead.
Yeah, that.
It felt weird.
So, I don't know that I ever really developed
a thought of her as an adult.
My uncle, my literal uncle, because I'd go over
to their house for swimming, my cousin's house,
and he would request from my cousin
that we invite certain girls over from our class.
And to his credit, he was picking right.
If I wanted a girl to come over, I would have picked Jennifer
as well.
But it didn't feel right coming from Uncle Dick.
OK, everybody stay with me here.
So Uncle Dick, you've got that scenario, the one
that actually happened.
Or Uncle Dick is like, have you made,
I mean, you've been in the school for a while,
have you not made friends
with any of the special needs girls?
If he was cherry picking.
Yeah, you'd rather have what I had.
That's what I'm saying.
For sure, okay, there's always, yeah,
that could be worse. The positive.
He just.
All right, back to Henry's birthday of the day.
Okay, I think.
Did he have a type?
Stop it. Extremely hot, blonde, big boobs. birthday the day uh... okay uh... i think did you have a type stop it

That was career. Maybe I'm a racist now
Now one of the Astros was doing the the pull their eyes at you. Yeah, that was you, Lee. Yeah.
OK, there you go.
And then Joe Kelly just falls.
But if you're Hispanic, is that racist?
I don't know.
Feels like I just want to stay out of that one.

to community mechanical those guys are great if you do have needs
I did a full system replacement. There was never any pressure to do that. They were pretty straight with me about everything
The other guy's name is Drew by the way if y'all I know that Travis gets all the hype but they have lots of Drew's though
Yeah, they do employ a lot of Drew's do they okay?
I only met the one Drew and he was fantastic.
They both came out to the house for the install.
Drew is the engineer behind the thing.
So.
You can ask him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's true.
But no, they were great.
If you have any needs, I definitely recommend you go see them.
Like I said, I don't really have a whole lot.
I too share your love of the boys, Dan, so don't let these guys shame you out of the
show.
It's a great show.
It's a very popular fire station show as well.
Oh, do you feel like, have I ever given the impression that I'm letting them stop my
buying them on this show?
No, no.
You're true to form with like most
things but it is a fantastic show give it a watch if you don't watch it what's
wrong with these guys you know I don't know I it's it's entertaining from start
to finish they're just doing a bit now I think you're right I think they just don't
like to have fun yeah we hate public servants yeah that's right. Yeah And Jake I share your affinity for public restrooms. Oh nice like to share that with you
Kinship yeah, it is. It's my wife gives me hell about it
But there is no public restroom that is safe for me when I'm out and about so that's really weird
It simplifies things it really does and really think about like again as a firefighter what a hang-up
But you guys are talking about number two. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and that's the like
Well, I think yeah
I think going back to the going back to the fire thing like you're kind of condition your body when you're at the station when
You need to go you go because you may leave and not be back for a while
So you take advantage of the opportunity of having a restroom handy.
Same thing when you're out and about.
When you gotta go, go ahead and knock it out.
I got a fireman question.
OK.
Because I'm at the DZGSE the other night.
And I'm preventative maintenance for my old body as well.
So I'm bringing the electrolyte packets,
pouring them in water.
I'm trying to make sure I guzzle as much of that as possible
Do you guys have to worry about staying hydrated and all that kind of stuff? Yeah. Yeah
We that's one of the things they really push is you know?
Summers here stay hydrated stay ready to go, but I mean if you're in a blaze have you ever been in a huge fire like
Oh, yeah, I work in a suburb. So What's the biggest fire you ever had to put out?
Like size of the structure or number of people that came to the event.
Because we've had apartment fires that are...
Yeah, that would change it a little bit.
Are multiple alarm fires where you have a lot of people there and there's a lot of area
to cover.
So four alarm fire means what? Well, it's a little different for every department but basically it just
means if first alarm gets three engines a truck, a battalion and a medic, you
basically double that for a second alarm. Which means you call like the town over?
No, well it depends on the city. Most decent sized suburbs have enough to
handle say a first alarm fire by themselves when
you start getting into second and third alarms.
Yeah, you start to have to pull from neighboring cities to have the staffing there.
But yeah, the hydration thing is the reason why those are the guys that do those mobile
IV services.
Who does?
The firefighters.
When I told you I've had that done before, it was firefighters who will come to your
house because they're already doing it all the time. Oh, okay. Who does? The firefighters. When I told you I've had that done before, it was firefighters who will come to your house
because they're already doing it all the time.
Oh, OK.
They are getting IVs.
Most of us are paramedics, so we already
have the IV skills in hand.
And we also.
You probably lose like, you could probably lose what,
10 pounds in a run or something.
Yeah.
Really?
Absolutely, yeah.
It's just water weight.
Your body has a lot of water weight.
Yeah.
Just sitting there, you know.
And that's when you hear about like NASCAR drivers
and that sort of thing.
It must be tough to undo all the equipment to GoPotti
or do you just go?
Real question?
No, that's a legit question.
Yeah, no, I would be less than honest if I
didn't say that there are times where you'll be in a,
I don't want to say an actual structure fire,
but an incident in a house where it hits and you go to a bathroom and there's already a
firefighter in the bathroom in that particular house. Did you ever just go in your
uniform? No I've never had it hit that hard I'm not gonna say it hasn't
happened to other people but no. That'd be so tough. Yeah. Especially if it was the bad one. Yeah.
Because like you know if you got to try to clean it, but everybody's going to know you're taking it home.
That's not good.
We have these industrial washing machines at the fire stations
called extractors.
So that's specifically for your gear.
So you're not intermixing your gear
with your personal clothing and stuff.
But yeah, I think your coworkers would
frown upon mixing your soiled gear with their regular
laundry.
So you're 45.
Did you get into being a firefighter because of 9-11?
I was actually in the fire academy when 9-11 happened.
I remember clear as day just being in class and an instructor walked in that morning after
it happened and just said a lot of firefighters died today we don't know
how many but now's the time to reflect on if this is something you really want to do.
Were you thinking of all the open jobs that you might have?
No that wasn't my first thought but no no. So yeah, I was in Fire Academy when that happened.
That's crazy.
Yeah, it's a pretty big.
I came in at a time, talk about like stolen valor,
like I was in the academy, hadn't even started out on shift.
So by the time I come out on shift,
9-Eleven's already happened and of course the fire service.
People thanking you left and right.
Oh my gosh, yeah, you're a celebrity. You're a week away. You're a celebrity, you walk through the grocery store, happening. Of course, the fire service. People thanking you left and right. Oh my gosh. You're a celebrity.
You're a week away.
You walk through the grocery store.
You're driving around.
People are honking and waving.
And you have done nothing.
Nothing to earn any of it.
I'm sure everybody else in the station was cool about it,
though.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You've done nothing.
What was your last call?
Last call?
Let's see, my last call was picking an elderly person up
off the floor.
That's the Jake and I were talking about that
off the radio or off the air.
But that's the vast majority of what we do.
It doesn't make an interesting show on TV or whatever.
But picking elderly people up, run of the mill medical calls,
it's not all the fires and exciting stuff you see on TV.
Body's frozen from cryo.
Yeah, definitely not a lot of that.
So how do we know this old lady's on the floor?
Or is it a guy?
Like how does that get?
It's all of them.
Everybody falls down.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And you're just laying on the floor, but they got a phone?
That's important.
Yeah, sometimes.
Life alert?
Sometimes they have the life alert.
We get the alerts from the little Apple watches
from time to time, where it alerts that somebody fell down
and they let us know that way.
It comes in all different ways.
Are you beaten when you see that's the call?
I don't know about you're leaving. Yeah, I don't know about beaten
But I would say there's not quite the hype for that as there would be like a structure fire and an extrication or something cool
That's for sure
Having to pause call of duty. Yeah
Pick a lady up. Do you run into?
firefighter groupies?
I would think there's ladies that are really just
into firefighters.
I mean, yeah, they're definitely out there.
Surprisingly, it's the older women
that have more of a thing for the guy in uniform.
It's not the 20-somethings that most people
would be interested in.
It's the women, probably the divorcee, that kind of one one those are the ones that have probably the bigger groupies of all I
would imagine. How about the wannabe guys? There's definitely those yeah for
sure. There's probably a couple different types right I don't know because Jimmy
always references I don't know if these are wannabe firefighters but the maybe
those on on the spectrum that will just sit outside.
Oh man.
Yeah.
Just take pictures or video of trucks.
I would say, yeah, there is a huge element of that out there.
There's people that scan the radios that meet you out on calls to either just observe and take pictures or try to be quote unquote helpful.
Not too long ago there's a guy that's very well known to our department that we pulled
up on a wreck that we were dispatched to and he had his e-bike sitting out blocking a lane
of traffic on a fairly large road with his safety vest on trying to guide traffic around
and all we could think about is this guy is going to get smoked.
People don't pay attention to fire trucks let alone a little e-bike
with a little flashing light on it but I think he's somewhere on the spectrum so
it's hard to be too critical of him but yeah that's definitely out there for
sure you don't think about that radio and just all the people who have
nothing but time and they think they they're night crawler or something
following around police or fire.
That's just.
As a matter of fact, we kind of got griped at not too,
too long ago by some guy we're talking about that
was mad that a lot of the new radio signals,
especially in the suburbs, are encrypted, I guess.
And so they can't scan it the way that you used to be able to
traditionally scan the radio and he was just really mad and actually felt like it was a
violation of his rights that he couldn't listen to the radio traffic and
We're trying to assure him. It's not we're doing anything cloak and dagger. This is just
Technology has moved on and whatever but yeah there's definitely a whole sub
subculture that's into that thing that was never me I was never never one that
grew up wanting to be a firefighter. Why did you end up? I was at North Texas and
in college and doing business school and was like this is not for me I can't
imagine sitting in a cubicle the rest of my life and
I had a roommate that wanted to be a firefighter and so I just looked into it and was like
Hey, man, that sounds good. Let's do it
Cool, and you had to learn some kind of medical stuff right to become a paramedic
Yeah, most departments require you to to become a medic or be a medic before you get hired. Again, that's probably 75% of what we do.
I mean, you had to go back to school for that. Yeah, they sent me to the fire academy,
sent me to paramedic school. Yeah, they require all that stuff to get you trained up.
Yeah. But you don't have to be that going in.
That's interesting.
It's different with every city.
Some cities require it before you are eligible to test.
And then other cities, they'll send you.
You don't have to have any requirements
other than college or something else.
And then they send you to school afterwards.
So you're in a suburb.
And if you meet like Jimmy or a Dallas firefighter,
do they think you're a pussy?
Yeah.
Well, I would be less than honest
if I didn't think that for sure.
They got to think you guys are real firefighters.
You're in the suburbs.
You're not doing it like we do.
But we get a lot of guys that are Dallas firemen
or former Dallas firemen that are tired of
The Dallas stuff and so they want to come to the suburb for a little bit of change of the woke fire
Yeah, but you got to start
Yeah, where you are? Yeah. Yeah for sure
There's not a lot of movement in the fire service once you get hired on in a city most of the time you stay there your
Whole career there's not a lot of jumping around and stuff, but there are people that do do it.
Yeah, I did my paramedic ride outs in Dallas, and man, bless those guys.
I don't know how they do it day in and day out because that's a whole other world working
for a big giant city like that and the types of calls you're going on and no rest ever.
How many lady firemen are there at your place?
I'm going to get in trouble for thinking.
I think we're up to four now out of 200.
Oh wow.
Yeah there's not a lot.
Dallas obviously has a lot more but they have a lot more people too so they're out there
just not in numbers okay it's awesome yeah he has a lot fewer jokes than the
other fire I don't know he's got it going on I just want to say that I think
you're a hero these guys would say cops are better and firemen. Y'all just block the traffic.
I run with the red or something.
Do they have a thing?
Yeah, they don't have a back.
We got a back the blue.
We got nothing for firemen.
Well, it's funny.
Blake just saying they just block traffic.
That's my wife's thing.
She's like every time she drives by a wreck,
she sees a fire truck that's got everything blocked down
to one lane and just firemen leaning on shovels or
brooms as they drive by and she just gets so pissed off.
I'm like, trust me, we're not out there because we want to be.
What do you drive out if the old lady's just laying on the floor and you know I'm just
picking up an old lady?
The ambulance or?
Yeah, you still get an engine and an ambulance.
An engine too.
Yeah.
That feels like a tremendous waste of money.
Well, I don't know if you know this or not, but there's an obesity epidemic that's out
there in society.
Ah, the mega mover.
Yeah, there's quite a few of the people that fall down.
It's going to take more than one or two to get them up for sure.
I still don't understand why you need a whole giant fire truck.
Well because that's what we're in.
Do you put a rope around them and pull it up
and put it in reverse?
No, it's more manpower thing.
So you have two people on an ambulance in most cases.
And you might need more than two.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, more often than not, yes, you need more than two.
Really?
Yeah.
OK.
I think it would probably.
I have to get a different image.
I had a frail old lady had fallen.
Yeah.
OK, that does happen.
Yeah, let's not.
But you're saying more often it would be a
Just a bigger a very large individual. I think it would probably he references the epidemic
I think it would probably stun you the percentage of work that is done to just move big people
It is shocking. It is shocking the amount of effort
As a matter of fact, I think there's probably more injuries
to firefighters on picking up large people
than there are on actual fires, wrecks, or things like that.
Wow.
Yes, it is something.
This has been very educational.
Well, thank you.
It really has.
I'm glad I could provide that for you guys.
My wife's biggest complaint when she was still in the adult
world was just having to roll someone who weighed 400 pounds. And she's a buck 20. As a nurse? Yeah
I got super excited for a second when Blake said his wife was in the adult world
I did. Yeah, she's in children's now
Yeah, and you also have to consider too that a lot of these people that have fallen down
We don't know how long they've been down, but chances are if they've been down for any length of time they were probably
they were probably on their way to the bathroom when they fell and obviously
couldn't hold it so you get that that bit of fun too. Rolling them over and
finding all sorts of stuff. That's a great way to end the show All right, thanks adios mofo
