[5] The Dumb Zone.

[6] Jake.

[7] Dan.

[8] Can you really say enough about Qualys Roofing?

[9] One of our original sponsors, maybe our first, Qualys Roofing, qualysgc .com.

[10] Qualys O -G -G -C.

[11] That's right.

[12] If you need a roof like we needed at the Den, get a hold of Qualys.

[13] If you need your roof inspected, which your insurance folks say that you do, get up Qualys.

[14] Well, I don't know, but they kind of run things.

[15] So if you need a roof, if you need a roof inspected, hit up qualisgc .com.

[16] And if you book yourself an inspection, you get yourself a free T -shirt.

[17] Free T -shirt or, I think, a subscription.

[18] They'll pay for a subscription for you.

[19] And then, if indeed you do get a roof with Qualis Roofing, they will give you a sit -in, a free sit -in.

[20] You'll be able to sit in the studio or, you know, at the den.

[21] You'll be just like Martin Luther King Jr. Okay.

[22] Okay.

[23] Yeah.

[24] With QualisGC .com.

[25] That was like at a place where you eat and get coffee and stuff, right?

[26] Mm -hmm.

[27] Some people did.

[28] You could eat and get coffee.

[29] Okay.

[30] QualisGC .com.

[31] I think we killed that.

[32] So it's Monday.

[33] Hello.

[34] You have a case of the Mondays.

[35] I'm Dan McDowell.

[36] I'm Jake Kemp.

[37] I'm Blake Jones.

[38] We got Clayton here as well.

[39] With a mic?

[40] Look, Clayton got himself a mic.

[41] Like he asked Clayton a hundred things.

[42] The one thing he remembers to do is get himself a mic.

[43] Yeah.

[44] This just showed up.

[45] Like I'm like, hey, he cut this audio.

[46] He doesn't do that.

[47] He doesn't do that.

[48] And then all of a sudden, hey, maybe you should have a mic.

[49] Oh, okay.

[50] It's got like an auto -tune on it or something.

[51] What's going on, Clayton?

[52] Well, we'll hear from Clayton for a weekend check, maybe.

[53] See if he does stuff.

[54] But we have sit -ins today.

[55] You are not here from Qualys, correct?

[56] No. Have you been instructed on those mics?

[57] What to do with those?

[58] I thought it was self -explanatory, but maybe I should.

[59] Yeah, it probably was self -explanatory.

[60] Anyway, we have a couple of sit -ins.

[61] These guys are football experts.

[62] Yeah.

[63] They know more about football, picking games than you do.

[64] I know.

[65] I told them I expected them to walk in like Lloyd and Harry with suits on and big bags of cash.

[66] These are our knockout league winners.

[67] So from left to right on your TV dial.

[68] We're looking at the YouTube feed.

[69] It is Craig and Dan.

[70] Did you know?

[71] Yeah, I did.

[72] My brother's name is Craig.

[73] Oh, I think I did.

[74] How about that?

[75] Dan and Craig.

[76] Dan and Craig.

[77] Heard that all my life.

[78] He's not the one that knocked up.

[79] Stepdad to Titan's cheerleader.

[80] That's your brother -in -law.

[81] Right.

[82] Well, stepbrother -in -law, our former stepbrother -in -law.

[83] The ties that bind.

[84] I've never really seen that video.

[85] Former step -brother -in -law.

[86] But step, certainly in the search queue.

[87] Love the word step.

[88] Just throw that in there and it makes it all okay.

[89] It's not really your mom.

[90] I don't see a lot of step -grandma, but I'm sure it's out there.

[91] Gilf is what you're supposed to search, right?

[92] Yeah.

[93] Cougar, gilf.

[94] Anyway, these guys won our knockout league.

[95] The knockout where all you have to do, it's the easiest thing in the world.

[96] Man, I just remember when I first heard about it like a decade ago.

[97] What?

[98] You just pick a winner?

[99] A spread?

[100] Not against a spread?

[101] I mean, all right, I'll just take your money.

[102] I didn't last through week one this year.

[103] I went with...

[104] Cincinnati?

[105] Yeah, the Bengals to beat New England.

[106] That was an obvious one.

[107] Yeah.

[108] That wiped out about half my league.

[109] Yeah, for sure.

[110] Are you just saying that?

[111] No, it's always the ones you don't notice coming up on the slate every week.

[112] My guy lets his bye back in.

[113] Well, we tried that.

[114] Blake runs this league, and Blake does not play.

[115] In fact, these guys wanted to stop.

[116] like with four or five weeks left in the season, and say, what if we just split it?

[117] And Blake said, no. We're in this thing for number one.

[118] No laying up at the Masters.

[119] And it turns out – now, did you guys just mirror each other's picks, or did they actually pick different teams sometimes?

[120] But I just got to the end.

[121] Got to ask them.

[122] It was different a few weeks, but by the time there was five of us left, I was checking the spreads.

[123] You were the top two because it was nervous.

[124] Yeah.

[125] No, I think especially as we got to the end, it just seemed like every week there was an obvious, like the Bengals beating the Patriots, there was an obvious one that you should pick every week.

[126] And it just worked out.

[127] So you guys...

[128] What's the loot?

[129] Each are taking home well into the four figures, correct?

[130] Yes.

[131] Yeah, do we want to say?

[132] Yeah, we have a check to present them.

[133] Because the way we do that at the end...

[134] Or I can get it right now.

[135] Boy, what a well -oiled machine.

[136] Yeah, no, I just thought...

[137] Says the guy who hasn't helped with anything.

[138] Whoa!

[139] He was busy during September.

[140] Yeah, he was away.

[141] He didn't have a lot of input.

[142] He was busy, but prepping for now.

[143] This is one of those, do we do this on the air or be a real big jerk and just do it off the air?

[144] It is funny.

[145] It's like your wife, right?

[146] He's complaining I didn't do anything about it.

[147] And from the very beginning, I was like, this seems like a lot of work.

[148] I don't think we should do this.

[149] There's really no upside.

[150] And then every week he bitched and complained about it on the dot.

[151] It's like, we didn't really need to do this.

[152] The upside is - What?

[153] They won some money.

[154] Great fun.

[155] That's really it.

[156] The charity.

[157] Yeah, the Sandlot Charities, the beneficiary.

[158] I'd say some other charities that we're going to provide too.

[159] Yeah, the initial thought was, let's do this as a money -making event.

[160] Right.

[161] And then I said to you guys right away, I don't think you can do that.

[162] Yeah, so.

[163] And our lawyer called us.

[164] We know lots and lots of lawyers, and we used one or two of them.

[165] We used one of them.

[166] He gave us the answer we didn't like.

[167] We went to another one.

[168] He's like, no, no, no, that one was right.

[169] Yeah, we went to our aggressive lawyer who's like, you can get away with anything.

[170] And he's like, nah, I don't think you should do this.

[171] It's like me asking Dan if I can run a bit.

[172] Yeah.

[173] On the air.

[174] What was the point of asking if he says no?

[175] Yeah, the aggressive lawyer said, no, you can skirt it.

[176] You can run this pool if you give it to charity.

[177] So we're going to donate an equal amount of charity that we give to you guys.

[178] What are we looking at?

[179] Five grand each?

[180] Is that it?

[181] Four?

[182] I don't know.

[183] But the IRS is going to know one way or the other.

[184] $8 ,400 each.

[185] You would not want to tell your wives.

[186] Yeah, do you want to lie if your wives are going to see this?

[187] She's already seen it.

[188] Okay.

[189] Chappie used to have - Have they spent it?

[190] I have a hundred inch TV in my living room now.

[191] Nice.

[192] Heck yeah.

[193] Now that makes it worth it.

[194] I'm sorry, Blake.

[195] Yeah.

[196] Chappie used to have what he called the slush fund.

[197] What does that mean?

[198] It was just the money my stepmom didn't know about.

[199] And he had like a little manila folder that he would keep.

[200] That was very Dave Ramsey.

[201] Documents.

[202] Oh, he was Dave Ramsey before it existed.

[203] And that's where like, you know, tickets for UT games or something came from.

[204] The slush fund.

[205] I mean, you and your wife have something similar in that she doesn't know exactly how much money you have in your account, right?

[206] And vice versa.

[207] Yeah.

[208] And it's really more about hers, but...

[209] Yeah, I imagine it's pretty common.

[210] She seems to be doing quite well.

[211] She doesn't have eight grand just laying around for a 100 -inch TV, though.

[212] Yeah, you probably got some left over.

[213] It's a big deal.

[214] All right, well, congrats.

[215] Any shout -out?

[216] We do that at the end, too.

[217] We noticed that you're wearing a Lone Star Beer, some merch.

[218] Yeah.

[219] You went to lonestarbeer .com.

[220] You actually bought merch.

[221] I actually did, and I actually forgot to use Dumb Zone 21.

[222] What are we doing?

[223] You forgot the promo code.

[224] I forgot the promo code.

[225] Well, the good news is that means it's still active.

[226] It is still active.

[227] But you thought the merch was so cool.

[228] Yeah, yeah.

[229] At full price.

[230] Well, what if?

[231] It's a spot now.

[232] Imagine.

[233] No, no. I don't think we're doing a Lone Star Beer spot today.

[234] I do want to shout out one of our dudes that was in on Friday, Zach, the rehab listener.

[235] He ran the half marathon in Fort Worth in 138.

[236] I'm like, dude, come on.

[237] Were you really that bad?

[238] Yeah.

[239] Oh, and he just got out of rehab and all of a sudden he's doing this?

[240] Yeah.

[241] He's like, oh, he's in such bad shape.

[242] So now that you're a rehab guy.

[243] Because I heard this, or at least maybe saw it or whatever on Twitter after you got back.

[244] Was it really that bad?

[245] Like this and that.

[246] Now you're that guy.

[247] Yeah.

[248] Like, all right, dude.

[249] You're able to just break out a 725 mile a month out?

[250] I don't know.

[251] You weren't as bad.

[252] Everyone does it.

[253] And he also sent me a photo of a guy that he ran with running in a no -puppet hat.

[254] I think we're well -represented in local races.

[255] Should we do one?

[256] If you want to have a bit.

[257] We've wanted to do a bit.

[258] And let you do your bib.

[259] Do we want to do a local race?

[260] Do we want to do a race money?

[261] I mean, I'd have to leave it up to our clearinghouse for all that is good and noble in the charity space, Blake.

[262] Thank you.

[263] Sure, I don't know.

[264] I don't want to get up that early.

[265] If I get up early, I just don't want to go anywhere.

[266] You know, I still have the dream of us having a softball tournament.

[267] But these are later in the year type things.

[268] Yeah, but your dream involves revamping all the fields to make them Pentagon -shaped.

[269] That's not a bad idea.

[270] Everyone is stoked on the Pentagon softball tournament to honor the fallen heroes of 9 -11.

[271] The tough part is making Twin Tower foul poles.

[272] That's going to be the tough part.

[273] Wow.

[274] Right?

[275] A lot there, yeah.

[276] Like, dare them to say that we're making fun of them when we present another big check.

[277] Yeah, what?

[278] For the fallen?

[279] People.

[280] Or maybe our charity is just for the upkeep of the 9 -11 Memorial and Grapevine.

[281] Okay.

[282] Like we'll clean it up and stuff, you know?

[283] Yeah.

[284] Unification project.

[285] Sure.

[286] Table it.

[287] Anyway, perhaps as I try to slide us into...

[288] Oh, before I slide us into a weekend check.

[289] Tomorrow we have Steve Noviello here.

[290] We are broadcasting live to live and live to tape from our Fox 4 studios this week.

[291] And so DZTV, shout out More27.

[292] Steve Noviello from Fox 4 will be joining us during the show tomorrow.

[293] And by request from Steve Noviello from Fox 4.

[294] He wants us to bring back gay, not gay.

[295] What?

[296] And you need to know this perhaps as well.

[297] This is a little bit of a force field we can raise.

[298] Steve Noviello, gay, homosexual.

[299] He has a man husband.

[300] Yeah.

[301] Yeah.

[302] So he has called for gay, not gay, though.

[303] He likes gay, not gay.

[304] Because as we used to say on gay, not gay, we're not talking.

[305] I mean.

[306] It's not about being gay.

[307] It's about being gay.

[308] Right.

[309] So if you have an email to send us, what's our email address?

[310] TheDumbZone at gmail .com.

[311] And we haven't wanted to do this.

[312] That's why we haven't.

[313] It's just that every time we see Steve Noviello, he's like, actually, you should, and it's okay and good.

[314] He pushes for it.

[315] Yeah.

[316] So you can complain to him.

[317] He's always asking.

[318] I got a couple of them lined up for sure.

[319] Oh, you already do?

[320] Oh, yeah.

[321] Hit us up.

[322] Great.

[323] Because Gay Not Gay used to be the biggest non -evergreen thing, I guess, that would be sent to me. And that has since been replaced by Gummy Thoughts.

[324] Yeah, a lot of those.

[325] Trailing a distant third would be Bad Beats.

[326] I mean...

[327] I've started to get some more Bad Beats lately.

[328] It's...

[329] This is simply a matter of Dan not wanting to embrace bad beats.

[330] I'm just telling you maybe people are sending them to you.

[331] I got a few.

[332] Yeah.

[333] I got a few for today if you want to do it.

[334] They're just not sending them to me as much.

[335] Yeah, and I was thinking we should start doing email more because we get more timely emails and we need to respond to something right away.

[336] Maybe Thursday will just be for gummy thoughts.

[337] and we won't do the big Thursday mailbag thing anymore, and we won't have to play your drop, and you won't get mad about it.

[338] I'm going to do a bad beat right now.

[339] There's nothing you can do about it.

[340] Okay.

[341] Yeah, what do you want, my validation that's true?

[342] No, don't do it.

[343] This is crazy.

[344] I'm waiting.

[345] I'm very excited.

[346] This will be the video I put in there, the Tekken one.

[347] This one really spoke to me, and I'll tell you why.

[348] I've talked to you guys before about the cup, the Taco Bell cup that featured Alicia Silverstone as, I think, Batgirl.

[349] Also, we've talked about Laura Croft Tomb Raider with her very pointy, boxed -up PlayStation boobs.

[350] Well, a listener sent us this one from the trailer for the video game Tekken 2.

[351] And I absolutely remember being like, can I crank it to this?

[352] And it's just like a suggestive woman in 2 .5D, which means you can kind of see that she has a rack.

[353] And every video game at that time was doing this.

[354] They were all figuring out ways to put boobs in your video game.

[355] And this is one that definitely hit for me. Tekken Dana fighting game.

[356] Really no need for this at all.

[357] At all.

[358] This is like on the pre -playing screen?

[359] Yeah, like your menu screen type thing.

[360] Tekken 2 coming out in October.

[361] This is what they were released in April to get you excited.

[362] Did it work?

[363] I remember being very excited.

[364] You could download these trailers on your PlayStation and watch them.

[365] Yeah, I definitely skipped ahead.

[366] Watch this.

[367] Yeah, she's got like leggings on.

[368] Like I didn't even know that existed at that time.

[369] Yeah.

[370] This is a big one.

[371] When you learn leggings.

[372] Yeah.

[373] I've got a couple.

[374] Oh, we're doing this now.

[375] Okay.

[376] Yeah, Jake started it.

[377] This first one, I'm going to just keep this anonymous.

[378] Kids are dumb, but also the 90s were tough.

[379] This emailer says, youth today cannot comprehend the struggle.

[380] First bad beat was Street Fighter 2.

[381] Oh, wow.

[382] On Super Nintendo.

[383] Picking Chun -Li and doing her lightning kicks and pausing it at the right time, which is on your screen right now.

[384] As you can see, it's just a little upskirt action.

[385] That's really bad.

[386] That's so bad.

[387] And I have a worse one.

[388] So pixelated.

[389] The next one, the same emailer says, while playing NHL 94, yeah, the face -off circles.

[390] What?

[391] Okay.

[392] Just a couple of face -off circle boobs.

[393] Yeah.

[394] God, NHL 94 was so fun, but I never looked at it thinking of boobs.

[395] No, I've played that game countless hours.

[396] Hit the wraparound.

[397] Oh, my gosh.

[398] That might have been the first glitch.

[399] Yeah, the wraparound goal was awesome.

[400] That is as down bad of a bad beat as I can possibly imagine right there.

[401] It's one thing to have a little slight cleavage in a video game character.

[402] It's another to jerk off to still circles.

[403] Why don't you just look at a plate?

[404] I don't know.

[405] I respect it.

[406] So maybe that guy that ran that marathon.

[407] This is now I'm segwaying into a weekend check.

[408] He cheated a little bit because he set up in Elite Rides.

[409] They don't ask questions.

[410] Elite Rides DFW.

[411] Yeah, they'll pick you up at mile one.

[412] Yeah.

[413] Drop you off at mile 22.

[414] They don't care.

[415] No. They're there for you.

[416] Really, it's awesome.

[417] 1 -844 -RIDE -DFW.

[418] And if you need to go to a game, somebody hit me up last week and said, They were just taking their daughter on a college tour, and they took Elite Rides DFW to the airport.

[419] Wow.

[420] They downloaded the app, and they got a discount because they used the promo code there, Dan.

[421] Got to use the promo code.

[422] DZ15.

[423] 15 % off your first ride.

[424] 15 % off the phone number again, 844 -RIDE -DFW.

[425] Download the app, Elite Rides -DFW.

[426] They got limos.

[427] They got Sprinter vans.

[428] They've got SUVs, minibuses.

[429] Hit them up.

[430] It is Elite Rides -DFW.

[431] How about the free water?

[432] How sweet is that?

[433] Elite.

[434] It is Elite.

[435] Okay.

[436] Weekend check.

[437] I don't have much, so I will volunteer to go first.

[438] knowing that you guys are going to have a lot of gold to follow this.

[439] Yeah, Blake.

[440] But a couple things this weekend.

[441] Number one, the last fire, I think, of the season.

[442] Yeah, warming up quite a bit today, as evidenced by you being shorts guy.

[443] Well, I shouldn't have worn shorts.

[444] It's a little chilly for that.

[445] I think by the time we leave here today, you're going to be fine.

[446] It was just jarring at first.

[447] Yeah.

[448] You've got kind of like a Fetterman thing going on.

[449] But yeah, Friday night.

[450] Saturday morning was probably a little too warm, but I still had one.

[451] And that was my last fire, I think, of the year.

[452] I'm looking at the weather forecast, but I don't think we'll get another big one.

[453] I'm not sure.

[454] That's a sad moment.

[455] Another year has passed.

[456] Probably more sad when you had kids there.

[457] Now you're just kind of alive for whatever reason.

[458] I love fire, though.

[459] Yeah.

[460] Love me a fire.

[461] I explained fairy smut to my wife.

[462] Didn't really tell her the origin because I was worried if she might judge your wife differently if I said that's where it came from, although it doesn't seem like your wife is concerned.

[463] No, not only is she not concerned, between Friday's show and then over the weekend, this is basically the female version of saying, I like the NFL.

[464] I don't think this is a real avant -garde outside of the mainstream interest that she has.

[465] But I got to tell you this, my wife had never heard of it, but she did show considerable interest.

[466] So she didn't say, oh my God, that's weird and terrible.

[467] She's like...

[468] Oh, really?

[469] Fairy smut.

[470] Interesting.

[471] Yeah.

[472] She's like, I don't have to mow until August anyways.

[473] Yeah.

[474] I need a little.

[475] But no, whether it was Ted Emmerich or on down the line of people in our orbit who hit me up and said, hey, I asked my wife about this.

[476] They're like, I've read every book.

[477] I've seen the show.

[478] Apparently, there was supposed to be a show on Hulu this year based on Akator in conjunction with - What's Akator?

[479] A Court of Thorn and Roses.

[480] A Court - Court?

[481] It's the book.

[482] In conjunction with the creator of the TV show Outlander.

[483] You guys know anything about Outlander over there?

[484] I've heard the word.

[485] Yeah, it's a wife show.

[486] It's like the porniest take on, I don't know, sort of medieval.

[487] There might be some time travel in there, but it's just softcore porn.

[488] And that show is crap.

[489] You know, I love porn and I love time travel.

[490] Like I love, you sucker me in with a time travel movie or a Freaky Friday or just something weird like that.

[491] I love that stuff.

[492] Never thought of mixing it up though.

[493] No. No, you're not like.

[494] I need to look into this.

[495] You're not watching the butterfly effect and being like, what if he shot it there instead of there?

[496] How would that have changed?

[497] I mean, I guess there was that.

[498] The world.

[499] That weird unexplained thing in Terminator.

[500] Right?

[501] Are you familiar with the weird loop in Terminator?

[502] So Terminator is Arnold was sent back as a Terminator to kill this little kid.

[503] Right.

[504] This little kid's going to grow up and lead the resistance.

[505] So, you know, the computers sent Arnold back to kill him as a little kid.

[506] It's like sending someone back to kill Hitler.

[507] So the resistance...

[508] sent a guy back to make sure the kid stays alive and to try and kill Arnold.

[509] And this guy had sex with Sarah Connor.

[510] That baby would grow up to be that kid that sent the guy back.

[511] Whoa.

[512] To kill.

[513] Do you follow that?

[514] It doesn't make any sense.

[515] It couldn't really happen.

[516] No, that should have been thought out.

[517] But that was the mind F with it.

[518] But that's your limited exposure to doing it.

[519] But they didn't show the whole act.

[520] They just kind of inferred.

[521] They showed him kissing and then they showed him laying there sharing a cigarette or something.

[522] I didn't get to see the other part.

[523] But imagine how good Terminator would have been had it been full pen.

[524] Just everything.

[525] Kind of the whole lead up.

[526] Just a 45 minute type.

[527] Every position.

[528] Yeah, I guess I could imagine that.

[529] Sure.

[530] Now, to add a little time to the movie, but James Cameron enjoys a long movie.

[531] Right.

[532] Yeah, I don't know how much time travel has to do with Outlander.

[533] I'm just saying women are very much into this era of sexy stuff.

[534] I bet if your wife asked her friends, it'd be really funny to have the Rose Twins take a spin through this.

[535] Yeah, I asked my wife about it, and she said she didn't like it.

[536] Because she didn't like the main character, not because of all the fairy smut.

[537] She's on board with grabbing a wing.

[538] Yeah.

[539] Stroking a wing.

[540] Sure.

[541] And then I'm all in on Severance Season 2, but I know you want to have some TV talk later.

[542] Maybe we'll save that for then.

[543] Yeah, I can jump into it a little bit in my weekend check as well.

[544] I do have a big weekend check note for tomorrow off the top of the show.

[545] I went to my daughter's school on Friday night for, I guess they were calling it STEM night.

[546] I don't know.

[547] The school's got a zillion things where you're basically obligated to bring your kid there so that they're not the one who didn't go.

[548] Seems to be all it is.

[549] It is fine though.

[550] It was a cool event.

[551] You make stuff.

[552] Hey, whatever.

[553] And then we went to dinner.

[554] It was my mom's birthday.

[555] Or excuse me, my wife's birthday was last week.

[556] So we did that.

[557] Freudian.

[558] My mom's birthday is next month, and we were just talking about it.

[559] Yeah, definitely, man. Want to sleep with your mom?

[560] We get it.

[561] Straight up edible, baby.

[562] Edible arrangements.

[563] Saturday, I was just straight certified pool boy.

[564] Wife, because it was her birthday weekend, went and did lady stuff all day.

[565] Don't know what she did.

[566] How did they get a birthday weekend?

[567] Don't know.

[568] Yeah.

[569] It was Friday night.

[570] It was family, her family, my family, the kids, dinner.

[571] Saturday, she was gone all day.

[572] Whatever she was doing, I don't know.

[573] Menstruating across the Metroplex, but I was not involved.

[574] So I took advantage of that grapevine rec indoor pool.

[575] Okay, that's what you mean by pool.

[576] Dude, my wife doesn't like - You took the kids?

[577] Yeah, both of them.

[578] That's a great pool.

[579] It's a lot.

[580] I'm like, it's nothing.

[581] It's warm.

[582] Getting a lazy river there.

[583] It's great.

[584] Yeah, your kids are small enough.

[585] They don't get that that's worse than wet and wild.

[586] No, it's free.

[587] Yeah.

[588] They got, you know, the changing rooms are right there.

[589] So it's not that big of a beach.

[590] She's just like, oh, it's such a hassle to get them dressed in and out.

[591] And I'm like, what else am I going to do?

[592] Yeah, you got all day.

[593] Like, I'm just here with both of them.

[594] And it's cold.

[595] So what are we going to do?

[596] So I went and did that.

[597] That was nice.

[598] And then Saturday night, doubled up on my pool game with my maiden voyage to World Springs.

[599] Oh, yeah.

[600] The spa.

[601] Hot tubs, right?

[602] Would recommend.

[603] Now, you have to be someone who's open to that sort of thing.

[604] As I've told you, like going to actual, you know, Spa Castle or King Spa where there's a lot of nudity and it's all indoor.

[605] If you've done that, this is nothing.

[606] But I could see the average American maybe taking a little time to warm up to this, but it's just...

[607] There's probably 40 or 50 different...

[608] Hot tubs of varying degrees of size and the consistency of the water has got different minerals and stuff in it.

[609] And then there's probably 10 different saunas.

[610] And it's just like a huge place.

[611] By the way, Grandscape.

[612] That's just the north nice version of Arlington now.

[613] Is it near like...

[614] It's a city of bits.

[615] Like the colony, Grandscape.

[616] Wait, Grandscape is a city?

[617] Well, it's part of the colony, but I just mean that development, that whole thing to me is just Arlington with a makeover.

[618] And that's great because Arlington's got a lot of fun stuff to do.

[619] But it's just bits on bits on bits on bits.

[620] Is that the place with like the skydiving?

[621] Cosm, skydiving thing.

[622] There's a place opening called Fritz's Adventures, which is like a kid's play place.

[623] There's a lot going on.

[624] and it's bit laden, and they have this place.

[625] I don't know.

[626] It would be cool if you went with a big group.

[627] We got there at five.

[628] My wife got a massage, and I just went and did my own thing.

[629] The later into the evening it went, it definitely turned pretty party time.

[630] There are groups of people that it clearly got.

[631] They serve?

[632] Oh, yeah.

[633] Okay.

[634] Oh, yeah.

[635] I think it's.

[636] The type of place that if you were you and your lady or you and your man were going to and you were at least curious about like, hey.

[637] Swinging?

[638] My wife and I saw you from across the bar over here.

[639] This might be your spot.

[640] Okay.

[641] Because, I mean, you're sitting in hot tubs with strangers.

[642] And everyone, not everyone, but people are drinking.

[643] The sun's coming down.

[644] It's a nice setting.

[645] Kind of a once in a lifetime situation here.

[646] What are you guys doing after this?

[647] Yeah.

[648] Yeah.

[649] And it was, I also, I heard like groups of people.

[650] You'll never see them again.

[651] They probably live in.

[652] Yeah.

[653] There were a lot of people that had traveled there.

[654] Fort Worth, yeah, yeah.

[655] Yeah.

[656] Yeah, perfect.

[657] You're just kind of sitting there across.

[658] So what do you do?

[659] Yeah, you don't want to swing in your town because you might end up, you know.

[660] Right, I'm supposed to run into you at Ace Hardware.

[661] Yeah.

[662] No, this is a judgment -free zone.

[663] But it's clean.

[664] It was cool.

[665] It was super relaxing.

[666] It was fun.

[667] Did you stay the night there?

[668] No, I did not stay the night there.

[669] There are some where you do.

[670] Like the ones in Dallas, they have a hotel at Kingspa, I think.

[671] And then, you know, you'll have like there's one in Austin.

[672] There's a bunch of them down there.

[673] And this is actually featured on White Lotus last night.

[674] I don't know if you're watching that show.

[675] And I don't know why I'm watching it.

[676] You don't like it?

[677] I don't know that I've ever really liked it.

[678] I like when they get a couple under the...

[679] I like to get a cup under the belt so I can watch it day after day.

[680] Well, because there's just nothing but mystery being laid out for the first three episodes.

[681] Okay, yeah.

[682] You're just like, how does this fit with that and this and that?

[683] But just the concept of the wellness retreat where you just go somewhere for a weekend and you do stay there and you just do nothing.

[684] But cleanse your body.

[685] It was a cool place.

[686] I enjoyed it.

[687] Left feeling very relaxed.

[688] You know what else I wouldn't did?

[689] And you can tell your emailer who basically checked me back into rehab for having ice cream about this.

[690] I fucked around with some pie this weekend.

[691] Pie?

[692] Where?

[693] It was a place in downtown Grapevine.

[694] It's by Jake's Burgers.

[695] It's like a local bakery, and I've always looked at it longingly and just never really had a desire for it.

[696] Like, I just didn't eat sweets, whether I was not interested or my body just had alcohol.

[697] At some level at all times, I just had no interest in eating sweets whatsoever.

[698] But we were picking up dinner next door and I'm like, I'm going to go in there and get some fucking pie.

[699] So you feel like now you're sweets guy?

[700] I don't know if I'm sweets guy because I am still somewhat conscious, not like to your degree, but about what I eat.

[701] But hey, Saturday night.

[702] Did you buy a whole pie or just a slice of pie?

[703] I bought two slices and then one small like six inch pie.

[704] And I have that left.

[705] I may give that away.

[706] What'd we get?

[707] I got one vanilla bean cheesecake and one chocolate cream pie.

[708] Cream pie, Blake.

[709] I used to be Cheesecake Factory.

[710] Don't direct that at me. What?

[711] You're always talking about how much you love CPs.

[712] It's just fun.

[713] It's a fun thing about the stage of life I'm in at 40.

[714] I'm like, damn, dude.

[715] They're just doing this all the time?

[716] Making pie like this?

[717] I'm very proud of myself.

[718] Yeah, unless being at a restaurant and they kind of offer it up and they tell you that theirs is really good, I can't see just getting some pie.

[719] No, that's what I'm telling you about it.

[720] I mean, it was very strange.

[721] However, when I walked in there, it's a small place.

[722] There appeared to be a lot of people who, as a group, maybe a family, there's 10 people at a table and they're just all having some pie.

[723] Little House on the Prairie or something.

[724] It's really weird.

[725] It's good pie, though.

[726] Did you have any hair pie this weekend?

[727] Why am I laughing at that?

[728] Because it's great.

[729] Yeah, dude.

[730] Clayton, what did you do this weekend?

[731] I was nostrils deep in some hair pie.

[732] It was her birthday.

[733] That's right.

[734] Clayton's running our video.

[735] Would you call yourself the director of the show?

[736] That's what I'm doing.

[737] Okay.

[738] I know you like to label things.

[739] Okay.

[740] Big label guy over here.

[741] Yeah.

[742] Big TV weekend.

[743] Go on.

[744] Friday night, ordered a couple pizzas.

[745] Hell yeah.

[746] Nice.

[747] Got a deal.

[748] Got a deal on two large pies from Efratelli.

[749] I don't charge you for delivery either.

[750] Generation Kill.

[751] I watch that every year.

[752] You watch it every year.

[753] Yeah.

[754] Jake's been imploring me to start watching that again.

[755] I think I watched it 15 years ago or whenever it came out.

[756] You did.

[757] You did.

[758] And I think I probably, I don't know if I finish it every year, but I fire it up once a year and knock out like three or four over a month span.

[759] It's a very important piece of television for our generation in particular, as it were.

[760] So got through that Saturday.

[761] Sunday started The Newsroom.

[762] It's another show I watch every year.

[763] Why?

[764] As I recall, that show sucked.

[765] Well...

[766] Doesn't it?

[767] If you recall where I used to work...

[768] Where'd you work?

[769] I worked for Glenn Beck before here.

[770] Blaze Media.

[771] Blaze Media.

[772] So that was...

[773] And growing up in journalism school and stuff, the newsroom stuff was just always kind of...

[774] You know, you dream of working in a New York newsroom like that.

[775] I just thought it was BS.

[776] I can't remember why, though.

[777] Was it the guy from Friends?

[778] Yeah.

[779] Well, Aaron Sorkin.

[780] Aaron Sorkin wrote, yeah.

[781] No, but...

[782] Matthew Perry?

[783] Yeah.

[784] Wasn't he in there?

[785] No. No, it's Jeff Daniels.

[786] Jeff Daniels.

[787] Jeff Daniels is the news director.

[788] Yeah, okay.

[789] It just felt so...

[790] I couldn't.

[791] Self -righteous or what?

[792] I don't know.

[793] Aaron Sorkin.

[794] Yeah, but I don't know.

[795] I really enjoyed the West Wing.

[796] For some reason, I did not enjoy the newsroom at all.

[797] It's no morning show.

[798] It's no morning show.

[799] Let's just be honest.

[800] Look, I'm not trying to compare it to the morning show.

[801] Who is?

[802] Yeah, we can't.

[803] I think what he's saying is that he felt what his body felt like to have a fully grown penis after watching Generation Kill.

[804] He was like, how can I stuff this back inside my body by learning about the saviors that are the liberal media?

[805] I had too much tea, so I had to bring it down.

[806] I get it.

[807] Yeah.

[808] No, I totally get it.

[809] I was ready to run through a brick wall, but then I just needed to think about my thoughts.

[810] Talk about the importance of the fourth estate.

[811] But no, I had Zaw for the weekend and then a little Screen Actors Guild Awards last night.

[812] Okay.

[813] Found it out.

[814] That apparently existed.

[815] It's a big TV weekend.

[816] Yeah, no, I saw Timothee Chalamet's all over the place for his big speech.

[817] Did it move you?

[818] Give it like this.

[819] Did it move you?

[820] I've not heard it.

[821] I've not heard it.

[822] I'm a fan of his.

[823] Do you think he's our next one?

[824] Is he our next Leo?

[825] Feels like that's been ordained.

[826] De Niro.

[827] Yeah.

[828] We don't have another one.

[829] And he doesn't seem like a bad kid.

[830] He kind of came up in the blog era.

[831] He had a fairly successful YouTube channel where he's just reviewing PlayStation controllers when he's 12, and I find that very just a regular kid.

[832] He follows like 10 accounts or something, and one of them was Zach Lowe, and the other was Bill Simmons.

[833] He's an NBA fan.

[834] Have you wondered what you would do if you grew up in this era?

[835] Because I grew up in an era, and I was making cassette tapes.

[836] Yeah.

[837] And, you know, trying to make little productions about the Cleveland Indians 1987 season or whatever.

[838] Like what?

[839] I'd be on YouTube.

[840] Yeah.

[841] I mean, I think I probably would have, although now there's so many people that do it.

[842] I think my confidence would have been crushed.

[843] I guess what I'm trying to say is back when I first was like when I first figured out you could I could record myself playing music.

[844] It was magic.

[845] But I was the only one who knew how to do it.

[846] and when it came to operating the handy cam and even like there's no one else yeah that had those so even like we would edit some video when we skateboarding and stuff i'm like this is great no one knows but now everyone knows how to do it so back then i was kind of popular as content guy but that wasn't because it was good it was just because i knew how to make it do a four track and a tape recorder but now everybody can so i think i would fail yeah probably yeah i was recording myself playing ncaa football and commenting over it, put it on YouTube.

[847] You did?

[848] Yeah.

[849] I used to record myself.

[850] Where are these videos?

[851] On YouTube.

[852] I can find them on, you have a YouTube page?

[853] Yeah.

[854] What is it called?

[855] Man, I don't remember.

[856] Okay.

[857] But yeah, I would take one of the worst teams in NCAA and then just go through a season, win every game, and explain why I was calling this play.

[858] Dude, we need that.

[859] We gotta have it.

[860] Big swings in the action.

[861] Yeah, my UTSA Roadrunners.

[862] Doesn't Blake look like a little baby when he shaves?

[863] He looks really thin, too.

[864] He just finally has the stress of the season off of him.

[865] Yep.

[866] New man. Yeah, this was a big week.

[867] It was a Black Friday in Argyle.

[868] It's tough.

[869] No fireworks.

[870] Yeah, we played the end of that game.

[871] We were living and dying with you, though, man. Dude, yeah.

[872] Went down early.

[873] It's not that far from like a cowboy stream.

[874] They just got close.

[875] Down one.

[876] Down one, yeah.

[877] Down one twice.

[878] It was very exciting.

[879] Yeah, I heard you guys stood up.

[880] That was nice of you.

[881] Yeah.

[882] Sent some energy from Southlake.

[883] It didn't work, though.

[884] It didn't last long.

[885] We were trying to do a rally thing.

[886] Nope.

[887] So last week I drove 1 ,085 miles because Monday we had our game in Haskell.

[888] Keller Tuesday, and then Friday was the big one where the girls' playoff game was at Abilene Christian University at 1 o 'clock.

[889] The boys' playoff game was in Fort Worth at 7 .30, and I was able to do both.

[890] It was the closest I'll get to Craigway in my life.

[891] It was awesome, except for the fact that they lost.

[892] Yeah.

[893] It's kind of like a Carlisle kid type situation for me where I definitely agree that Coach Westmoreland was the guy to get him there.

[894] I don't know if he's the guy to get him over there.

[895] It's tough.

[896] It's a tough decision.

[897] You have to be honest with yourself as a program.

[898] Sometimes that takes courage.

[899] They need a guy who does have some conviction in his moves, maybe a guy like Nico that could evaluate what this program is really all about and what it means to be an Argyle Eagle.

[900] Yeah.

[901] I mean, I would like to remind you guys he does have two state titles at Argyle.

[902] So he has shown that he can do it.

[903] Is his work ethic there?

[904] Well, I mean, I think that's what I always say to people when they say, who's the best GM in football?

[905] I'm like, well, you know, Jerry has a few Super Bowls, and then the argument's over.

[906] Yeah.

[907] Just add up the GM Super Bowls.

[908] Right.

[909] In the NFL today.

[910] Those were Jimmy's teams.

[911] So you say.

[912] Who was signing the checks?

[913] You ran into a buzzsaw.

[914] Yeah, got to see the number one recruit in the country, Aliyah Chavez, headed to probably Texas, if I'm reading the tea leaves correctly.

[915] The Texas coach was there to watch, which was funny.

[916] Really great, yeah.

[917] Really good player.

[918] After the game, I kid you not, there was a line around the court to get her autograph.

[919] For real?

[920] She had a handler there, and this was not her first time.

[921] She knew to hit...

[922] Recruiting websites, local TV.

[923] Then the coach pulled out a table for her.

[924] She sat down and began citing autographs for everyone in the crowd.

[925] Wow.

[926] Did you get one?

[927] No. You thought about it, though?

[928] No. Get a picture with her?

[929] She was overwhelmed.

[930] But very nice to do so.

[931] Met a couple of nice listeners out in Abilene, Aaron and Elizabeth.

[932] They bought tickets, and I don't know how much of the game they watched, but just to come by and say hello.

[933] And that was really nice of them.

[934] Aw.

[935] They're on your screen now.

[936] And they gave me this nice Abilene Wiley shirt.

[937] Oh, Aaron's a dude.

[938] I thought you had two girls come visit you.

[939] No. No. All right.

[940] Nope.

[941] I'm still on board with them.

[942] Hello, ma 'am.

[943] Good subbies.

[944] Very nice.

[945] Hello, Aaron.

[946] Yeah, both of them.

[947] He's hot.

[948] Dan, you would have appreciated this.

[949] In the gift bag they gave me for this shirt, they wrote down the cleanest bathrooms in Abilene.

[950] Okay.

[951] On the way back.

[952] They said, it's this exit.

[953] It's like 10 miles outside Abilene.

[954] Here's the name of the place, the best bathrooms you can find.

[955] I do like that, but probably more important for Jake because he'll be sitting down.

[956] But less important for me, though, because I'm like Dez walking out at the link with no sleeves on.

[957] Show me your worst conditions.

[958] I'm putting up seven catches, 105 yards.

[959] I've never been in a bathroom where I'm like, well, this won't work.

[960] And then on Sunday, Took the kid to the park, wanted to feed the ducks.

[961] And kind of like your bit with dolphins.

[962] Yeah.

[963] Ducks, I think, are the biggest dicks we have in the animal kingdom.

[964] Because there were these three bigger ducks, wouldn't let any of the other ducks eat.

[965] Then a female came in there, and they all just were about to run a train on this poor duck.

[966] Whoa!

[967] Chased her off, and then two flew after her.

[968] It's a bad scene, man. Ducks are not nice.

[969] I agree with this.

[970] And they look all cute with their green head.

[971] Yeah, they're selling insurance and wrapping.

[972] They got a little necktie.

[973] Yeah, dude.

[974] Don't like it.

[975] Horrible.

[976] I think I'm out on ducks.

[977] They poo all over your yard if they get into your yard.

[978] I had a few years ago.

[979] You were all...

[980] thrilled about it at first.

[981] Yeah, I was thrilled.

[982] It looked so peaceful.

[983] It was so sweet.

[984] I felt like Tony Soprano.

[985] They're flying in to swim in my pool and then they leave.

[986] Okay.

[987] Cool, man. How'd the squad do yesterday?

[988] We split.

[989] Oh, softball.

[990] Yeah.

[991] Seems like we're going to be the cardiac cards this year.

[992] Had two come from behind.

[993] Victory.

[994] Well, it was going to be a victory, but then they had the hammer and they won it.

[995] Okay.

[996] We got some good exercise on a Sunday.

[997] Well, you know what?

[998] That's all it's about.

[999] I know.

[1000] Just get out in there.

[1001] Heart rate up.

[1002] Having some fun.

[1003] Fellowship.

[1004] So on today's program, I see we have, in reverse order, closing remarks, Today in History, news.

[1005] We have Today in Twitter.

[1029] It's Luka's offense now.

[1030] Yeah, so J .J. Redick did come out and say that after the Lakers, our Lakers beat the Nuggets.

[1031] Like, I can't say I'm just a Lakers fan.

[1032] I don't think I can ever do that.

[1033] But kind of like our little guy, I'm accepting things now.

[1034] And I'm looking for ways I want him to win a title.

[1035] That's what I've always wanted.

[1036] I really wanted it to be here.

[1037] But clearly, that will not be the case.

[1038] And I would rather have Luka win a title with the Lakers than the Mavs win a title with AD.

[1039] I don't care.

[1040] I don't.

[1041] Yeah.

[1042] The tone deafness of this organization, the Mavs continue to step in it Friday after we got off the show.

[1043] Did you see what hit Twitter Friday or social media?

[1044] What was it?

[1045] The Mavs put out a video.

[1046] Oh, yeah, with Darrow.

[1047] Okay.

[1048] A hype video.

[1049] And I wish I downloaded it.

[1050] Because I knew there's no way they're going to be able to handle this onslaught of reaction.

[1051] Because in the video.

[1052] They would be showing highlights from their run last year.

[1053] And, like, if somebody fed – Luka fed Kyrie and Kyrie lays it up and in.

[1054] But they would put a Mavs logo over Luka's face.

[1055] Like, he's on the court.

[1056] But they just put a logo there just to kind of mask him.

[1057] Like, why?

[1058] You can't erase him from the history of your team.

[1059] It's the insecurity we talked about.

[1060] Maybe the ticket felt that or feels that a little bit with, you know, what Saturday Night Live has never worried about.

[1061] The insecurity of, oh, yeah, that's just going to make, you know, this will downplay the guys we have here.

[1062] Why?

[1063] You made that decision, Mavs.

[1064] You've made this decision.

[1065] Own it.

[1066] So they put out this video.

[1067] Luka is.

[1068] Not just cut out of it, but really blatantly bad photoshopping, getting him out, and then they delete the video a couple hours later.

[1069] So I don't know if this is true or not, but I do believe the WFAA did some detective work.

[1070] All right.

[1071] And that they had edited out Grimes and Kleba, but not Luca.

[1072] But...

[1073] The point is...

[1074] And then they just thought, okay, well, we've already gone this far.

[1075] Let's just throw the logo up.

[1076] Yeah, and they should have just, as PJ would say, stood on business.

[1077] If it's a standard thing to do, which Bobby Corolla tweeted, you know, he's with DLLS now, was with the Mavs for a long time.

[1078] He's like, we used to have to do this all the time.

[1079] It's not a thing.

[1080] It's also stupid, but...

[1081] It is stupid.

[1082] He didn't comment on that part of it, but just that it's a normal thing.

[1083] And then WFA went out and said, hey, this is actually, this is Quentin Grimes and Maxi Kleba.

[1084] But the team can't just do anything.

[1085] Everything they do, they screw up.

[1086] Because at that point, they should have just left it up.

[1087] Like, what are you worried about?

[1088] If it's, you don't feel bad about it, like, just because people yelled at you and that, which that part makes me feel good.

[1089] Because it does seem like if we just yell about stuff enough, short of bringing him back, they'll kind of bend the knee.

[1090] I think by April 9th, they're going to be real worn down, and that's when we take over.

[1091] Are they working up a real nice tribute video for them?

[1092] That's going to be so weird, man. Even if they do something nice?

[1093] I feel like they have to, but...

[1094] They have to, but this idiot organization, I don't know if they will.

[1095] I wouldn't be surprised.

[1096] Everything they've done PR -wise has been a disaster.

[1097] So what about...

[1098] There was another story, or I just saw people commenting on a story that I never really found the exact quotes.

[1099] Was it the Athletic article that they were talking about people were talking about that Luka apparently controlled the practices?

[1100] Yeah.

[1101] What article was that?

[1102] So the Athletic with Christian Clark, who's their local Dallas beat reporter now, like replaced Cato.

[1103] Him and two other guys from the Athletic National wrote that article that we went over.

[1104] It's like the, what makes Nico tick?

[1105] Yeah.

[1106] Talking about him in college and all that stuff.

[1107] I don't believe there's anything about his practice habits actually listed in there, but I heard the same thing you did.

[1108] So I went and listened to Mr. Clark on Locked On Mavericks over the weekend, and he references it there.

[1109] He says, you know, in the reporting for this story, These are some of the things we heard.

[1110] And the way he put it was he didn't always want to practice necessarily to the degree that the team wanted.

[1111] And that sometimes when he didn't really want to practice, the team didn't really practice.

[1112] That they would just shoot instead.

[1113] So it's more of this stuff that if any star player's relationship with their team went south, you would find out about it afterward.

[1114] You don't find out about it when they're going to the finals.

[1115] And that's – well, the point is you don't care about it if they're going to the finals.

[1116] Yeah, and they hadn't fallen into the shitter this year enough to where you would think you needed to start planting seeds of all these stories.

[1117] But, you know, Jason Kidd is Jason Kidd.

[1118] He may be a changed person to a degree, but he's still the guy who was the coach of the Bucs and the Nets that that book was written about or was written about in the book about Giannis.

[1119] He's still that guy.

[1120] We're learning what Nico is.

[1121] So I think they actually were ruffled by him saying, we're talking about practice.

[1122] That's what I want Luka to say at his April 9th press conference.

[1123] Maybe even tomorrow night if he hangs 40 on him.

[1124] Just open the press conference with, we're talking about practice.

[1125] Because now they're seriously sitting here talking about this.

[1126] And I mean, look, Jamal Mosley.

[1127] The Magic, I think, had a game last night, and he used to coach Luka, and they asked him about it.

[1128] He's like, guy works as hard as anyone I've ever seen.

[1129] It may not look the way you want it to look, but he's obsessed with basketball.

[1130] This is not a, hey, he just happens to get lucky.

[1131] Yes, he's working.

[1132] Does that mean he's always on the treadmill?

[1133] Does it mean he's always wanting to practice?

[1134] Maybe not, but that's where that came from.

[1135] It's just more BS that they have to do now.

[1136] To try to cover?

[1137] Obviously, if they win the title, and that's the only thing that can happen to make it kind of seem like this is okay.

[1138] If the Mavs win the title?

[1139] They have to win a title.

[1140] Yeah.

[1141] Not just get to the finals, because they've done that.

[1142] But even that would...

[1143] I'm sure Mavs fans would be happy.

[1144] I don't think I'll care at all.

[1145] Because it would also be somewhat like...

[1146] I mean, when the Rangers won the World Series, I think it would have been way different if they won the World Series in 2011.

[1147] Oh, without a doubt.

[1148] Like, that was a team we grew up with.

[1149] It was Michael Young.

[1150] Character.

[1151] Elvis, you knew him since he was little.

[1152] Like, you know, you got to see the growth and the addition and the, you know, some trades that you added to the core.

[1153] You have your thing, and then it grows, and you add around it, and then it feels satisfying.

[1154] Like, the way the Rangers did it, they just kind of signed a bunch of dudes, and it just felt weird.

[1155] I would go so far as to say that if the Rangers won this year, it would mean more to people than when they won two years ago.

[1156] Yeah, maybe.

[1157] Just because now they just have homegrown players.

[1158] But the Mavs are all just different guys.

[1159] Like, I guess Powell is the guy who's been there the longest.

[1160] No, you're right.

[1161] I mean, basically the identity of the team is kid.

[1162] Just because he's a known – you know, Kyrie, but Kyrie's played on – 10 teams.

[1163] Right.

[1164] Kyrie's known as a guy who will jump team to team.

[1165] That's why it was cool to add him to the mix of what you had.

[1166] Anyway, yeah, Luka controlled the practices.

[1167] This goes back to what I talked about early on, too.

[1168] Well, who was your coach?

[1169] I mean, the whole point of this, you want a player to behave differently.

[1170] You coach him up.

[1171] You brought in a coach to coach a superstar.

[1172] So if you're known as a player's coach and you just kind of let the players do their thing, well, that's your thing.

[1173] No team ever gets rid of the superstar and keeps the coach.

[1174] That's just not done.

[1175] So now let's go to our team.

[1176] Oh, by the way, did you see?

[1177] I didn't watch the game yesterday.

[1178] I saw him getting blown out, and I saw pictures on social media.

[1179] I saw it.

[1180] I watched it live.

[1181] Rob Palenka was in the stands.

[1182] God, dude, they kept showing it.

[1183] It was tough.

[1184] It was first quarter, second – because Bob Myers was on the call, former general manager of the Warriors.

[1185] I've always liked Bob Myers.

[1186] Super interesting guy, super smart guy.

[1187] He was an agent himself, actually.

[1188] Kind of laying the mold for Palenka a little bit.

[1189] I like him on NBA studio shows.

[1190] Did not enjoy him on the call.

[1191] Talks nonstop.

[1192] But he is a GM.

[1193] So when Palenka's at the game for Andre Iguodala's jersey retirement, they're going to show Palenka side by side with Nico Harrison a lot.

[1194] Was he his agent?

[1195] Yeah.

[1196] Who worked with Bob Myers when Bob Myers was the Warriors GM.

[1197] But, dude, it was at least twice if not three times in the first three quarters.

[1198] Also because the game was getting pretty out of hand.

[1199] They would just show both of them on television and talk about them.

[1200] And I'm like, fuck, dude, I can't do this.

[1201] Like I fully intended to just watch this game and maybe try to not think about this for a minute.

[1202] And it was just, hey, you know, those guys have traveled the world together.

[1203] You know, they know each other in a way that a lot of people evaluating this trade don't understand.

[1204] There's a trust there and a history.

[1205] Fuck, dude, I don't care.

[1206] I just want to watch a basketball game without having to think about this for a minute.

[1207] Clearly there's a trust there.

[1208] It's the whole game.

[1209] There's a trust there, but one of the guys betrayed the trust.

[1210] Seriously, if you're actually friends, you'd be like, what are you doing?

[1211] I can't.

[1212] I got to give you Austin Reeves, too.

[1213] I mean, you need another ball handler.

[1214] Yeah.

[1215] Like the Lakers, I'm listening to Locked on Lakers these days.

[1216] I'm trying to learn about my new team.

[1217] And, you know, they can't believe it.

[1218] They just can't believe how cool this is that there's always two of those guys on the floor.

[1219] Like Austin Reeves is a real good distributor, ball handler as well.

[1220] Offensive player.

[1221] He's a real offensive threat.

[1222] And the fact that they can have Luka, LeBron, and Austin Reeves.

[1223] And, yes, so then after the game, they beat Denver.

[1224] So his first few games, they went one and two.

[1225] He was on a minutes restriction.

[1226] He was averaging like 15 points a game.

[1227] But he's Luka, and he hasn't played in two months, and he's Luka.

[1228] So if you thought, oh, look, maybe Nico had something here.

[1229] And he looked real.

[1230] I mean, he was shell -shocked.

[1231] He really was.

[1232] He's an actual human, and that did affect him, I think.

[1233] But he had a great game in Denver.

[1234] 32 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals.

[1235] You see some clips now, and maybe this will get bigger.

[1236] The fact that Luka does complain to the refs a lot, but he also gets mugged a lot.

[1237] Sure.

[1238] And you've probably seen the one clip.

[1239] of him going around the right side and just getting hammered and hammered and then hammered again by a different guy, and then he still gets it off and makes the shot, but he didn't get an and one.

[1240] This will be a bigger thing now that he's in the spotlight.

[1241] Oh, yeah.

[1242] Yeah.

[1243] It'll be fun for the NBA world to finally take his complaints seriously.

[1244] Here's Luka on the court after the game.

[1245] Luka, Mike just said that you've been smiling all night long.

[1246] Just what has felt, what felt better tonight?

[1247] Just finally feel like myself a little bit, you know.

[1248] You know, playing this game is all I love.

[1249] So I'm just finally, you know, being myself a little bit.

[1250] So that's why I was smiling the whole game.

[1251] There's been so much talk about you fitting in with the Lakers, about you fitting in with LeBron James.

[1252] Just how were you able to find a rhythm with LeBron tonight?

[1253] Yeah, I mean, I think we've still got a lot of improvement.

[1254] You know, I just can't play.

[1255] It's my fourth game.

[1256] So, you know, chemistry takes time.

[1257] But you see today, you know, after three games, you saw today that it's getting better.

[1258] So every day is going to get better.

[1259] It's just your fourth game, like you said, with the Lakers.

[1260] You've gone through so much in the last three weeks.

[1261] You've had to adjust to so much.

[1262] So when she's saying that, did you watch this?

[1263] No. She goes, you've gone through so much.

[1264] And he's like, he just had this huge sigh, and you don't even get it.

[1265] You have no idea.

[1266] The thing is, this came so out of nowhere.

[1267] He's buying a $15 million house in Dallas, or he was in the middle of closing on that.

[1268] He's wanting to be here long term for sure.

[1269] Certainly for the next five years, whatever the contract is they could have offered.

[1270] This really rocked his whole world.

[1271] All right.

[1272] Game, he said, with the Lakers.

[1273] You've gone through so much in the last three weeks.

[1274] You've had to adjust to so much.

[1275] What have the last three weeks been like for you personally?

[1276] Hard, different.

[1277] But, you know, I'm happy to be playing basketball.

[1278] So, like I say, every day is going to get better to me. Like he just looked so sad during that when he was saying it's hard.

[1279] So I'm happy for the new journey.

[1280] Keep smiling.

[1281] Mike.

[1282] Well, the trade was a life changer for Luka Doncic and a game changer for the L .A. Lakers.

[1283] Man, that one.

[1284] It has reshaped the entire NBA.

[1285] Yeah, I saw a buddy from Mav's Twitter, Jared, was like, man, watching Lakers fans react to an extremely normal Luka game, like, oh, my God, dude, he just does this.

[1286] Oh, my gosh, yeah.

[1287] That was a C plus B minus game.

[1288] Yes, 30, 10, and 10.

[1289] He shot it okay, but, I mean, there's going to be nights where he goes 9 of 13 from 3, and you're like, he can do that?

[1290] No, that first game he played when he just did a...

[1291] A step back.

[1292] Oh, the step back.

[1293] And the guy, he didn't really almost fall, but it's just like that's what Luka does, and they're just beside themselves like, wow, look at this.

[1294] And I hate that for them.

[1295] It sucks.

[1296] We had that three times a week.

[1297] JJ Redick postgame.

[1298] This morning we talked about going to war.

[1299] Be willing to die on the court.

[1300] I was so amped today.

[1301] I should have been able to take a nap.

[1302] I couldn't sleep last night.

[1303] I was up until 5 a .m. I couldn't even nap today.

[1304] Free game.

[1305] I'm laying on the floor doing my breathing exercise.

[1306] I'm envisioning what our team is going to play like.

[1307] And you guys went even higher.

[1308] You went even higher.

[1309] And frankly, our conviction and our belief in the game plan, the bench was great.

[1310] Everybody contributed.

[1311] Luca, it's good to have you back.

[1312] He's sitting over there.

[1313] Anyway.

[1314] I could even hear Dorian in there.

[1315] Picking him up full court?

[1316] Is that what he said?

[1317] Yeah.

[1318] Okay, let's see.

[1319] First team on defense.

[1320] First team on defense.

[1321] Rui, Vando.

[1322] Okay.

[1323] How can you not love J .J. Redick?

[1324] That's another thing, too, is he gets to go play for a cool coach.

[1325] Do you remember when Redick and Lucas sat down on his podcast when he was here for like a month?

[1326] Oh, yeah.

[1327] It was great.

[1328] Yeah.

[1329] Whoa, these two guys with LeBron.

[1330] Nah, it's awesome, dude.

[1331] Everything's going great.

[1332] I don't know, DeGrom, you think about what Chris Sale did after missing a ton of time over three seasons.

[1333] If we could just get double -digit starts out of DeGrom, you know, that's got to be a win.

[1334] I'm not ready.

[1335] Oh, yeah, so, yeah, they're going to start.

[1336] Then J .J. Redick after the game also said, yeah, we're going to – we'll be running the offense through Luka.

[1337] Yeah.

[1338] You know, and that was part of the first couple of games.

[1339] You know, that's LeBron's team.

[1340] That's, you know.

[1341] They made this trade to be Luka's team.

[1342] Now, if you're with LeBron, it's always kind of LeBron's team.

[1343] But even LeBron probably has to admit, yeah, I'm 40.

[1344] And, you know, everybody involved in this.

[1345] Like, I'll bet Anthony Davis was just honored to be the guy traded for Luka.

[1346] Like, really?

[1347] Like, everybody involved in this is like, yeah, I could see.

[1348] Like, if you really didn't tell LeBron ahead of time.

[1349] he would have to just sit and nod afterwards and go, well.

[1350] Yeah, and how many moves like that are there?

[1351] Two, three, where you can just do it and not tell LeBron in the event that they didn't, and you just know it's going to be fine because LeBron's going to be like, well, yeah, it's Luka.

[1352] Yeah, you had to get him.

[1353] And that's the thing.

[1354] How is Dalton Connect still in this locker room?

[1355] That's why, right.

[1356] Explain the trade to me. Anyone.

[1357] Again, Austin Reed, you shouldn't have said, or who'd they get?

[1358] Max Christie.

[1359] And.

[1360] Many are saying, hey, maybe he was held back there.

[1361] Okay, maybe.

[1362] And maybe he's good, but you should also get Austin Reeves.

[1363] You should get everything they have.

[1364] Well, you know, if he's actually playing himself into form, I don't know that they're a threat, but if you have those three guys offensively, you're going to be able to hang with just about anybody.

[1365] If LeBron's healthy and Luke is healthy and AR is right, then that's a...

[1366] That's a 1 -2 -3 that's tough to top.

[1367] They don't play any defense, but whatever.

[1368] Yeah.

[1369] They'll figure it out.

[1370] You can have an answer for that is just score more.

[1371] You don't need to see their culture, though.

[1372] The one little thing that's happening there is, will Luka re -sign here?

[1373] That's their worry.

[1374] They want him to sign an extension there.

[1375] They should be worried.

[1376] A thought is, perhaps, that they backed out on the Mark Williams deal.

[1377] You know, they failed him on his physical.

[1378] He was the big man they acquired from, is it Charlotte?

[1379] Mm -hmm.

[1380] They just played.

[1381] And some are saying, at least through Shams, that they shouldn't have failed.

[1382] Like, what he had was not failable.

[1383] He shouldn't have failed him.

[1384] But the Lakers backed out after possibly...

[1385] Initial talks with Luka did not indicate that he is real gung -ho about absolutely I'm re -signing with L .A. Interesting.

[1386] So it's just theory, rumor.

[1387] But, you know, they didn't have a chance to talk to him.

[1388] I mean, that's why the Mavs didn't get that extra first -round pick, as reported.

[1389] I mean, that's where he still says, no, you still just can't talk to him.

[1390] I need that first -round pick, or else just we're not doing this deal.

[1391] You'd think.

[1392] But Rob Palenka sniffed the blood in the water.

[1393] He recognized the idiot at the table was not him.

[1394] And that this guy really wants to get this deal done.

[1395] He has to get this deal done more than me somehow.

[1396] I said, Rob Palenka said, I can't believe this is happening.

[1397] And I'm going to theorize that it goes back to ownership as well, that they just didn't want to pay that super max.

[1398] But what if he doesn't resign?

[1399] And Palenka just sent AD and maybe a good player in Christie.

[1400] Then it's still a great trade for Palenka because you have to do that.

[1401] You have to figure it out.

[1402] AD will be free in a couple years anyways.

[1403] Or at least needing a new contract.

[1404] LeBron's old.

[1405] You've got to take that shot again, as Dan said.

[1406] 100 out of 100.

[1407] Right.

[1408] That's why no matter what happens in the future, it's still a bad deal for the Mavs and a good deal for the Lakers.

[1409] Even if Luka doesn't re -sign there, because now it's on the Lakers to make sure he re -signs there.

[1410] But you have to take a shot like that when you have a guy like that.

[1411] If you find an idiot franchise willing to give up a guy with this talent, it's the talent.

[1412] You can't teach that.

[1413] You can't.

[1414] All right.

[1415] Well, I'm sure tomorrow night will be fun.

[1416] Yeah, tomorrow.

[1417] TNT game.

[1418] Mavs at Lakers.

[1419] Gear up.

[1420] I can tell how bummed you are.

[1421] I just lose him for minutes at a time.

[1422] No, it's going to be very difficult.

[1423] I don't know why, man. This hurts me. It hurts me, too.

[1424] All right.

[1425] Today and Twitter?

[1426] Sure.

[1427] Let's do it.

[1428] Brought to us by Ownwell.

[1429] I'm going to plug my computer in while you talk to the fine folks about Ownwell.

[1430] Ah, very good.

[1431] Yes, OwnWell is the place where homeowners save on property taxes.

[1432] So instead of spending hours filing your property tax appeal and preparing for an in -person hearing, that's weird because I was working on some tax stuff this weekend.

[1433] And so I searched my computer tax and I found a time that we pitched.

[1434] Like all this paperwork we put together, it took so many hours to try and pitch.

[1435] And then we saved like 20 bucks, like something really ridiculous.

[1436] But it's so many hours and driving down.

[1437] Ownwell does that for you.

[1438] You spend three minutes and you get money back.

[1439] Excuse me. They get money from you only if you get money back.

[1440] And the money they get from you is a very low percentage, lowest on the market.

[1441] They'll take 25 % versus everyone else takes about 40 or 50%.

[1442] of the savings they get you.

[1443] And they saved me some money on my cable bill.

[1444] And I think they only saved me, I don't know, 50 bucks or something.

[1445] And they said it's on the house.

[1446] So they're not going to take 25 % of everything.

[1447] I think there's a certain threshold.

[1448] Wow.

[1449] But that's just the good people that they are.

[1450] Ownwell.

[1451] Ownwell .com slash the dumb zone.

[1452] Sign up, put it on auto renewal like Blake did.

[1453] Save yourself some money, save some time with Ownwell .com slash the dumb zone.

[1454] The dumb zone presents.

[1455] Today in Twitter.

[1456] All right, a couple minutes ago, I definitely thought Dan was about to step into a sack, but he did not.

[1457] When you were referencing things you saw on Twitter regarding the Mavs.

[1458] I know they didn't ban the jerseys.

[1459] No, but Des didn't.

[1460] Oh, okay.

[1461] Yes, there was a tweet that said the Mavs banned wearing Luka jerseys to the arena.

[1462] Which is somewhat believable if a piece of black tape over a Mavs logo was banned.

[1463] We do it all the time.

[1464] Whenever we get ball sacked, you could believe it.

[1465] That's exactly what this was.

[1466] And I think the people at NBA Centel and Ball Sack had gone out of their way to actually write fake emails and take screenshots of them.

[1467] So they just got this email from Mavs PR.

[1468] Ridiculous.

[1469] So it took off.

[1470] That was probably a .01 second where I saw it and was like, what?

[1471] Yeah, I believed it.

[1472] But Dez went ahead and mashed that retweet.

[1473] You think Dez is terribly digitally literate?

[1474] Well, yeah, because he sells Bitcoin and he can talk to you all day about that.

[1475] He deleted that.

[1476] He had to delete it after throwing it up on the X. Do you think he ever says that when he tweets?

[1477] Probably.

[1478] Throwing it up on the X. A couple other quick ones here.

[1479] So Tim Hardaway Sr., who we're all very familiar with here, right?

[1480] Oh, yeah.

[1481] He doesn't like gay people.

[1482] He does not.

[1483] Let me test this audio real quick, Blake.

[1484] Let me see if this works.

[1485] But why is it that an – Okay, that's not right.

[1486] I got it back here.

[1487] So Tim Hardaway Jr. played for the Mavericks for a long time.

[1488] Tim Hardaway Sr. was part of Run TMC.

[1489] the famous Warriors team.

[1490] And, yeah, we played him on Dan Levitard many years ago because an NBA player who had retired had just come out as gay, and then Tim Hardaway Jr. was asked about it, and he was not too cool about it.

[1491] Want to hear it?

[1492] Oh, yeah, if you want to play it, sure.

[1493] Tim Hardaway, last question before we let you go.

[1494] How do you deal with a gay teammate?

[1495] Oh, first of all, I wouldn't want him on my team.

[1496] Second of all, if he was on my team, I would really distance myself from him because I don't think that's right.

[1497] You know, he should be in a locker room while we're in a locker room.

[1498] And it's just a whole lot of other things.

[1499] So I wouldn't even be a part of that.

[1500] But, you know, stuff like that going on, and there's a lot of other people out here like that that's still in the closet and don't want to come out the closet.

[1501] But, you know, I just leave that alone.

[1502] You know that what you're saying there, though, Timmy, is flatly homophobic, right?

[1503] It's just bigotry.

[1504] Well, you know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known.

[1505] I don't like gay people.

[1506] I don't like to be around gay people.

[1507] I'm homophobic.

[1508] I don't like it.

[1509] It shouldn't be in the world for that or in the United States for it.

[1510] So, yeah, I don't like it.

[1511] Hey, props to Tim Hardaway for sticking to his guns.

[1512] I think the next day he might have apologized.

[1513] Well, yeah, once his boss made him.

[1514] Yeah.

[1515] But at the moment, yeah.

[1516] But he's like, you know that's homophobic.

[1517] Oh, it is?

[1518] Okay, I am homophobic.

[1519] I guess you're not understanding what I'm saying.

[1520] I hadn't heard that before.

[1521] I don't know how much simpler I can make this for you.

[1522] Yeah, I wasn't aware there was a word for this, but great.

[1523] Yes, I am homophobic.

[1524] So Tim Hardaway Sr. was on.

[1525] I guess this might have been out at the NBA All -Star game, but Tim Hardaway Sr. was on Gilbert Arenas' podcast.

[1526] And he started going on some rant about, you know, he did the thing where like guys back in, guys in this era couldn't have played in my era.

[1527] Sure.

[1528] And he's up there with like Swaggy P and a couple other guys.

[1529] Like there's no way.

[1530] Gilbert could have played, but there's no way that any of you could have played.

[1531] And then he starts getting really fired up talking about Pacers all -star Tyrese Halliburton, who I've never thought of as like an objectionable guy one way or the other.

[1532] But Tim Hardaway just goes on this rant where he's like, I would bust his ass.

[1533] If I could go back right now, if there's one player I could go after, it would be Tyrese Halliburton.

[1534] Let me see if I can play this for you here real quick.

[1535] Will it play, Blake?

[1536] If I go back.

[1537] and put on my my and suit up i want to go up holliverton i want to go him up he talks so much okay i want to go back and bust his mother i love it i love it i love that yeah yeah he talks so much i i want to go back i want to bust his ass so you want to talk too much right and he thinking all that okay So that comes out, and then I see this tweet from Tyrese Halliburton where he tweeted this clip and said, tell the world the real reason you feel this way, Tim.

[1538] So again, Tyrese Halliburton, younger player in his prime, all NBA.

[1539] And I go to the replies, and I'm like, well, I don't know anything about this.

[1540] The top reply says, for those that don't know, Tim Hardaway was on the 2000 Miami Heat.

[1541] With Tyrese Halliburton's cousin, Eddie Jones.

[1542] Remember Eddie Jones?

[1543] The name, yeah.

[1544] Eddie Jones invited the wife of Hardaway to his Miami high -rise condo and slept with her, had her screaming, this caused serious drama, Hardaway left Miami, etc. And this is a...

[1545] This is a story I'd seen in several other places on Twitter and on social media after re -scarching it over the weekend.

[1546] So wait, Eddie Jones?

[1547] Is Therese Halliburton's cousin.

[1548] Hooked up with Tim Hardaway's wife.

[1549] Yeah.

[1550] Okay.

[1551] And you know there's got to be a ton of teams that have been, like as much as we joke about Tony Braxton and the three J's.

[1552] Oh my gosh.

[1553] The number of guys who are like Tim Hardaway senior level players.

[1554] who have been moved or someone else has been moved because of a lady.

[1555] It's a long list.

[1556] Yeah.

[1557] So I thought that one was funny.

[1558] Yeah, they don't publicize that.

[1559] No, they just, you know what, cap casualty.

[1560] But that was not our biggest.

[1561] Do you have an Ender?

[1562] Because I have one too.

[1563] I do have an Ender.

[1564] You go first.

[1565] So hockey's back in action after the Four Nations.

[1566] And this takes us to the Buffalo Sabres broadcast where they've got a courtside, no, what?

[1567] Rinkside.

[1568] Rinkside, idiot.

[1569] Rinkside reporter, Rob Ray, and he's between the benches, kind of like we see Leah Hextall.

[1570] But I think they go to this guy a lot because his mic is open, and it looks like the Rangers try to clear the puck.

[1571] Hits him right in the face.

[1572] How does it not happen more, folks?

[1573] hits him right in the face his mic is open and it's awesome right between the eyes Doctors checking Razor out very quickly.

[1574] That was close to the eye.

[1575] What's his name?

[1576] Rob Ray.

[1577] Good Lord.

[1578] So where did it hit first?

[1579] Or is that all in one motion?

[1580] Right where the golf ball is right here.

[1581] Good grief.

[1582] That's not normal.

[1583] That's not normal.

[1584] Oh, my God.

[1585] So he's the rinkside reporter?

[1586] Yes.

[1587] It looks like he's taken a couple off the dome before in his day.

[1588] And Razor just took another one.

[1589] That's on the broadcast.

[1590] Yes.

[1591] That's awesome.

[1592] And how about the color guy say, like, hey, he took another one.

[1593] Does this happen all the time?

[1594] I don't know.

[1595] The guy didn't even react that shock.

[1596] He's like, oh, I got drilled in the head again.

[1597] The play -by -play guy says, so where does it hit you?

[1598] And he goes, right where the golf ball is.

[1599] Yeah, there's a huge.

[1600] You can see it.

[1601] Huge bump on it.

[1602] Before our ender, we did have a little bit of science today in Twitter.

[1603] As this account had a tweet that has now been seen almost a million times, retweeted over 15 ,000, that simply says, if an ant hits you going, I don't know, this is probably a trillion, miles per hour, would you die or would it not matter?

[1604] Now, we have been kicking around the idea of why doesn't an ant die when it falls off a table.

[1605] For many weeks now.

[1606] Would you die?

[1607] Well, maybe it might just shoot right through you.

[1608] Well, there's a...

[1609] It depends where it hits you.

[1610] It was probably AI, but there is, in fact, a top answer.

[1611] Okay.

[1612] It would kill you.

[1613] Even if it went through your arm?

[1614] Probably.

[1615] Why?

[1616] You would at least lose the limb.

[1617] So imagine something that's going about...

[1618] 500 times faster than a bullet.

[1619] Okay.

[1620] Yeah, I'm just thinking of a baby or something.

[1621] It would penetrate instantly.

[1622] It would leave a clean, narrow hole through the skin.

[1623] The sheer velocity means it would probably vaporize mid -transit due to air friction, turning it into a plasma slug before impact.

[1624] Chest hit would shred your heart or lungs.

[1625] Non -vital areas like an arm, you would lose a limb.

[1626] But Matt Dallas, DZ RV driver and DZ Hall of Fame member, sent us a video where a guy did this science project on dropping an ant off of a table and then off of his house.

[1627] Explained it quite well.

[1628] Turns out terminal velocity is a thing.

[1629] It matters.

[1630] And if you're really small, you can only get going so fast.

[1631] With...

[1632] Oh, okay.

[1633] Like it's too small.

[1634] Like when it's falling, it's small and it should reach, keep getting faster and faster, but it doesn't because the air is pushing against it.

[1635] It'll also, yeah.

[1636] It evens out.

[1637] Kind of float a little.

[1638] Exactly.

[1639] Bodhi style.

[1640] So even an ant falling off the Empire State Building.

[1641] I don't think it makes a difference.

[1642] It would be alive?

[1643] Yeah.

[1644] Well, the guy dropped it off of his house and he...

[1645] Yeah, he just walked around.

[1646] And he slowed it down perfectly so you could see and then measure the frames per second at which the ant is falling.

[1647] Yeah.

[1648] And the little guy made it.

[1649] Little guy made it.

[1650] But, no, our big topic for today in Twitter is I think the kids probably call this crashing out.

[1651] As a guy, a married guy in San Antonio.

[1652] Well, he was married.

[1653] His wife was in, I guess, the Ravens.

[1654] The Baltimore Ravens have a marching band, which is cool and makes sense, right?

[1655] Old school organizations that have, you know, cool.

[1656] Well, they're not an old school organization.

[1657] They did not have one when they were in Cleveland, but I think maybe the Colts did, and that was one of the things they wanted to bring it back or something.

[1658] I know the Redskins did.

[1659] Yeah, the Redskins had a band.

[1660] It feels like something that, you know.

[1661] You could say not an old school organization, but in my head they're just, they are.

[1662] They are built that way.

[1663] Yeah.

[1664] So this gentleman.

[1665] But I have an anti -Ravens bias.

[1666] I know.

[1667] I know.

[1668] So this gentleman, his wife was in this band, the Ravens band, and he finds out that she's having an affair with none other than the NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. Long -time NFL wide receiver.

[1669] Now, what would you do?

[1670] Let's go through the range of options.

[1671] You go to your wife and you're like, this is not okay.

[1672] I'm leaving.

[1673] Or, hey, I caught you and we have to talk about this.

[1674] How long has this been going on?

[1675] Do you love him?

[1676] All these sorts of things.

[1677] You could do that.

[1678] What this guy opted to do was start tagging everyone on social media, including...

[1679] Steve Smith, and also Yeti coolers.

[1680] What?

[1681] Why?

[1682] To let them know that Steve Smith Sr. was dicking his wife.

[1683] I probably wouldn't have done that.

[1684] No. If we're talking about range of options.

[1685] Yeah.

[1686] Well, he's wanting revenge a little bit.

[1687] He's losing his wife.

[1688] Now his account will make Steve Smith.

[1689] Now everybody knows.

[1690] yeah but everybody knows about steve smith then maybe more importantly like steve smith if he has a wife he does of 20 years yeah she will of course now know about this um the guy yeah he crashed out super hard he tagged uh like uh he tagged a couple golf did he tag is it taylor taylor made golf Why?

[1691] What is the point of Yeti?

[1692] He tagged Antonio Brown, ESPN, TMZ, the Panthers, Steve Smith, the NFL, the NFL Network, Ghost Golf Club, TaylorMade Golf, Yeti Coolers, and the Ravens.

[1693] So I don't know.

[1694] Is he thinking that's like hashtags that people will see this if they're looking at TaylorMade golf clubs?

[1695] He's thinking Antonio Brown will amplify this and make him his cracker of the day.

[1696] Cocker of the day.

[1697] Yeah, something.

[1698] I mean, Antonio Brown's probably going to bone this chick if I had to predict the next move here.

[1699] But the initial one just said, wife works for the Marching Ravens.

[1700] She met Steve Smith Sr. at work.

[1701] Steve Smith has been fucking my wife.

[1702] I got receipts.

[1703] I got a lot more, homie.

[1704] Bad use of homie.

[1705] Very, very bad use.

[1706] He also, I'm pretty sure, got into his wife's Facebook account.

[1707] And started posting there where he said, Hi, I am Nicole Martinez, though I won't be a Martinez much longer.

[1708] You see, I have been cheating on my husband.

[1709] Okay.

[1710] How everyone, every culprit writes.

[1711] I had him hidden under three, but that's been fixed.

[1712] My husband bought me a house.

[1713] He stood by my side after I had been arrested twice for domestic violence.

[1714] The lady was arrested.

[1715] And this is how I repay him and our son.

[1716] There's plenty of messages here, Steve.

[1717] Crazy the kind of revealing messages a celebrity will send.

[1718] I'm also a member of your team band, tagging the Ravens.

[1719] I believe I violated some fraternization rules by hooking up with Steve at the training facility.

[1720] And then he included several screenshots, text messages from Steve Smith Sr. to his wife, and they're nasty folks.

[1721] Sex messages.

[1722] Major, major sex messages.

[1723] Where she told him...

[1724] Well, first of all, a lot of the pictures that Steve Smith is sending, they're kind of from the waist up.

[1725] Like, they're not flattering, which makes me think there has to be a dick in the full photo.

[1726] Like, who's just taking this photo?

[1727] Let me look down and see if I can get you a little double chin fold up.

[1728] Kind of stare down at my...

[1729] Well, maybe that's her POV.

[1730] It might be.

[1731] She looks up at Steve Smith.

[1732] One of the ones where he sent a picture, and he's kind of smiling from a lower angle, he wrote, turn you over and get deep inside of you.

[1733] And one of her responses was, deep in an understatement, I felt like you were going to rearrange my IUD.

[1734] You were so deep.

[1735] My goodness.

[1736] That's good wordplay.

[1737] Rearrange.

[1738] I guess this is a reply here for people who are trying to hook up.

[1739] Anyways, I think if I'm him, I take this as a little bit of respect.

[1740] Now.

[1741] Steve Smith Sr. is not Jerry Rice, but he's not Isaiah Stanback.

[1742] If it takes an NFL great, like that kind of dog, to get my woman away from me, I don't think I'm too beaten up over that.

[1743] If it's the bartender where she hangs out after work and he's just some guy, then you're like, Jesus, really?

[1744] Or it's like she's a high school teacher and the kid's a 15 -year -old edge rusher.

[1745] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[1746] God, really?

[1747] It's not that embarrassing to lose out to Steve Smith.

[1748] He's on TV.

[1749] He was a very good player.

[1750] He's scary.

[1751] I don't know that I would say he's the most attractive -looking guy in the world.

[1752] No, but, you know.

[1753] One of our guests today asked me if it's possible for there to be a black Roseanne.

[1754] I think if— We found one.

[1755] We found the first one.

[1756] We might have found one, yeah.

[1757] But if you're like, yeah, it's Steve Smith.

[1758] Who took your wife again?

[1759] Right.

[1760] James from HR?

[1761] Yeah.

[1762] Yeah, but this is like you guys always say, don't ask.

[1763] Because if I were just to be told my wife is having an affair with Steve Smith, I think of him like the rowboat celebration in the end zone, scoring touchdowns.

[1764] I'm like, okay, I get it.

[1765] Yeah.

[1766] But when he is saying, I would have shot my nut all inside your pussy, that makes me feel bad.

[1767] It's tougher to focus on the football.

[1768] That was his sex talk?

[1769] Oh, yeah.

[1770] I like feeling it deep in my wet pussy.

[1771] We don't need to see this.

[1772] Yeah.

[1773] I'm seeing that Yeti and TaylorMade are sponsors of Steve Smith.

[1774] I don't understand why.

[1775] Why does he have a golf sponsor?

[1776] You know.

[1777] I can see it.

[1778] And then, of course, everyone goes and finds her.

[1779] Oh, yeah.

[1780] Various different pictures of her and looking better or better or worse.

[1781] Yeah.

[1782] I'm on board with.

[1783] And then you also got pictures of his wife and how they actually look kind of similar.

[1784] He's got kind of a type.

[1785] Yeah.

[1786] She's a little more ratchety.

[1787] Here, can we play the video?

[1788] He posted a video of him calling Steve Smith.

[1789] I guess he probably called from his wife's number and Steve knew what was up right away.

[1790] But there's not much to this, but it is kind of interesting.

[1791] Hey, yo, Steve.

[1792] Yes, sir.

[1793] Yeah, you've been fucking my wife, bro.

[1794] What you got to say for yourself?

[1795] I'm sorry.

[1796] You're sorry?

[1797] No, you're not.

[1798] Posted the number, too.

[1799] Yeah.

[1800] I fucking knew she was married.

[1801] You're not a fucking idiot, man. You're fucking Steve Smith Sr. Senior.

[1802] You got to hit him with Senior?

[1803] Yeah.

[1804] All right, that's enough.

[1805] In case he didn't know.

[1806] Yeah, so that phone number, I imagine, is probably no longer active.

[1807] But I don't know.

[1808] I don't really think Steve Smith Senior owes you anything, pal.

[1809] That's not a problem between the two of you.

[1810] Right.

[1811] It's my mom being mad at my dad's new wife.

[1812] Yeah.

[1813] It's not her fault.

[1814] If you'd have kept it together a little better.

[1815] You know, let's look in the mirror a little bit, number one.

[1816] But, yeah, then be mad at the husband.

[1817] Be mad at the guy.

[1818] That guy should be mad at his wife.

[1819] But, you know.

[1820] Steve.

[1821] With your anger, you're probably.

[1822] Steve.

[1823] Steve.

[1824] Hey, hey.

[1825] Hey.

[1826] Yo, Steve.

[1827] What if you were doing that and you got that call?

[1828] Would you?

[1829] Well, I guess they said he's sorry, so that's nice.

[1830] Oh, my bad.

[1831] I'm sorry.

[1832] You know, she had the glasses and she was doing the whole marching band thing.

[1833] And then the other funny thing is people went back and found, there's like a promotional day where Steve Smith joined the Raven marching band.

[1834] And he's got the plume thing, like the marching band thing on.

[1835] See, and you wonder how, like maybe this is to alert Steve Smith's wife, but there's also a very good possibility that the Steve Smith's wife knows.

[1836] Yeah.

[1837] Or at least just knows he used to run around a lot.

[1838] It's not a thing.

[1839] Maybe thinks he doesn't anymore.

[1840] Personally, I think it's like a Jerry Jones situation where just don't embarrass me in public, but I kind of know.

[1841] We just don't talk about it.

[1842] We understand that because you provide so much, I'm willing to live in this.

[1843] Don't you think there's a lot of NBA wives that are kind of into that?

[1844] Of course.

[1845] Or pro -athlete wives?

[1846] Yeah.

[1847] Which I try to explain to my wife.

[1848] Look.

[1849] Number five on Substack.

[1850] Yeah.

[1851] Take a run at Aaron.

[1852] I love the idea that you're so mad at somebody, yet you have to identify all three of their names.

[1853] It is great.

[1854] You are Marion Barber III.

[1855] Steve Smith Sr. Steve.

[1856] All right, well.

[1857] And that was today on Twitter.

[1858] Let's take a break, guys.

[1859] Hey, Steve.

[1860] Steve.

[1861] Okay.

[1862] Good evening, everybody, and welcome into the Super Bowl Brief.

[1863] I'm your host, Blake Jones.

[1864] Okay.

[1865] It's the Super Bowl.

[1866] Super Bowl 59, Kansas City versus Philadelphia.

[1867] Hard to imagine two bigger white trash cities.

[1868] Not sure if you heard the news or not, but the winner of this game actually gets to reopen their Red Lobster location so their fans can once again feel like they're fine dining.

[1869] All right, yeah.

[1870] Hope you're enjoying this halftime performance.

[1871] If you've noticed, the last few halftime performers at the Super Bowls are like cornerbacks in the NFL.

[1872] White people just apparently aren't good enough anymore.

[1873] But hope isn't gone just yet.

[1874] The Eagles have a white corner, safety, and running back playing in today's game.

[1875] A white male hasn't been this excited watching a Super Bowl since that Danica Patrick ad.

[1876] That was mostly for white guys.

[1877] The only thing that would have made that pop more for the middle -aged white man is if she took her top off inside a big green egg.

[1878] I do like that.

[1879] But really, the talk of the town this week, as you can see on the screen, is the Luka trade.

[1880] And while we've talked about it all week, We failed to realize that this will be LeBron's toughest test yet.

[1881] Luca, Austin Reeves, Brawny.

[1882] LeBron trying to win with two whites and his son is like a turndown movie plot for the latest Uncle Drew movie.

[1883] And LeBron would know.

[1884] He's a noted film director.

[1885] You may remember his Space Jam 2 creation that was released in 2021.

[1886] His next piece is set to release this summer.

[1887] It's called White Men Actually Cannot Jump, the 2025 Los Angeles Lakers.

[1888] But they can somehow dribble and score, something his son can't do.

[1889] Calm down.

[1890] Don't have a heart attack on us, Bronny.

[1891] Whoa!

[1892] Did you see how unhappy Luke is sitting next to Rob Palenka?

[1893] I was thinking that someone hasn't been that unhappy sitting next to Rob Palenka since the last time somebody sat next to Rob Palenka.

[1894] It's like people don't like him.

[1895] Right.

[1896] And you know what's bad?

[1897] You know what's bad when the other local teams are surprised by your move?

[1898] In fact, Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, called the move shocking, unbelievable, deplorable.

[1899] You know, the same thoughts he had in Little Rock in 1957 watching black kids walk into his high school.

[1900] Similar response from the Texas Rangers, which as a Mavs fan should really make you feel terrible because they saw Matt Bush crush a guy's head with his car and thought he could be a bullpen arm for our World Series run.

[1901] But don't worry, he's cleaned his life up since then.

[1902] And the Dallas Stars.

[1903] Who am I kidding?

[1904] Nobody gives a shit about hockey.

[1905] But seriously, Mavs fans are so down bad after the breakup with Luka that I can feel Pete Davidson's dick right around the corner.

[1906] It's just lurking, throbbing right behind us.

[1907] Speaking of Pete Davidson, you could say this is Mavs fans 9 -11.

[1908] What I mean by that is both were inside jobs by the organization, both were controlled demolitions of assets, and both made people want to jump out of a building.

[1909] I mean, Luka was a menace.

[1910] On the court, he was ours, and other fan bases hated him.

[1911] Thunder fans could not stand him.

[1912] A white hadn't done that much damage in OKC since Timothy McVeigh.

[1913] Could have been worse.

[1914] But Luka's gone, and we've got a guy with a unibrow who loves impractical jokers.

[1915] The only thing that would make Dan and Jake hate him more is if he was I -love -my -wife guy or had a British accent.

[1916] But they'll be back, because they could never become Lakers fans.

[1917] Their games start way too late.

[1918] In other news, it was good seeing Saroy and Danny at our remote on Friday.

[1919] Saroy, it must be noted, is attempting to be the first man to achieve exactly nothing on a 12 -month severance package.

[1920] If Mike could have just accomplished one thing for every pound he gained in the last year, he'd be Time Magazine's Person of the Year.

[1921] And Danny, so happy for Danny.

[1922] He was only given a three -month severance, but is still hanging on.

[1923] In fact, he looks great.

[1924] He's never looked happier in his life, which just goes to show you can be jobless, womanless, and really bring no value to anything or anyone, and still be happier and more content in life than having to do a show with Bob Sturm.

[1925] Holy shit.

[1926] All right, let's get back to the game.

[1927] And inevitably, more T -Swizzle in the second half, which is a really weird combo for a relationship.

[1928] Travis Kelsey is such a big dude, football player.

[1929] Taylor Swift, a thin musician, a guitar.

[1930] I haven't seen a skiddy digit attack a big piece of meat like that since I saw that video of Carissa Thompson fingering herself.

[1931] Thank you, everybody.

[1932] This has been a Beehive production.

[1933] Hey, okay, yeah.

[1934] He's got a graphic.

[1935] You're listening to the Dumb Zone.

[1936] We still got that promo code page up on the Dumb Zone or DumbZone .com?

[1937] We do.

[1938] Do we have a Lucy promo code these days?

[1939] Let me see here.

[1940] Promo codes, Lucy nicotine pouches.

[1941] Go to Lucy .com.

[1942] co slash dumb zone and use promo code dumb zone to get 20 % off your first order.

[1943] What's your favorite flavor?

[1944] Apple ice.

[1945] Espresso.

[1946] Yeah, so they have these things that like break open.

[1947] The breakers.

[1948] That's what it's called?

[1949] Yeah.

[1950] To enhance the flavor.

[1951] Yeah.

[1952] It's quite nice.

[1953] Of the Lucy nicotine pouch.

[1954] A little extra flavor, a little extra juice.

[1955] No tobacco.

[1956] No tobacco whatsoever.

[1957] Whatsoever.

[1958] This is how I start my day.

[1959] I feel like Clayton, this is Clayton's lunch.

[1960] Yeah, Clayton's a Lucy for lunch guy.

[1961] Yeah.

[1962] Yeah, I mean, if you want to go and relax in a sauna and just hide out, pop a couple Lucys and you are on your way.

[1963] It's a cleaner.

[1964] Here's how I thought about I wanted to talk about this this weekend when I was ordering some Lucy.

[1965] You know how whenever, I was never a big cigarette smoker, right?

[1966] Just when drinking, right?

[1967] You know how when you did smoke some cigarettes, you became aware like, oh, these are just the generic ones that everyone has and they're kind of gross?

[1968] And then you figured out like, oh, there's actually ones that have a better flavor to them and a better taste and they feel cleaner?

[1969] That's my comparison.

[1970] Without naming brand names.

[1971] You don't want the generic one that everybody gets.

[1972] You want the Lucy at lucy .co slash dumbzone.

[1973] Can I play you one thing from the OJ documentary?

[1974] Oh, that's right.

[1975] You're all into this now.

[1976] I watched it a couple weeks ago.

[1977] It's great.

[1978] It's Netflix, right?

[1979] Netflix.

[1980] It's four parts.

[1981] It's all about the manhunt.

[1982] And like anything with OJ, you're like, how can I possibly learn anything new or more from this?

[1983] And through two episodes, I would say I have.

[1984] Well, it's about the manhunt now.

[1985] You're going to get into the trial now.

[1986] Okay, yeah.

[1987] So I'm through two.

[1988] But there are still things that I think I forgot.

[1989] I think I forget the kids were there.

[1990] That doesn't really ever get talked about because they were upstairs and they took them out through the other side of the house that you don't see on TV ever.

[1991] At the driveway side.

[1992] I had never seen still photos that graphic.

[1993] Had you?

[1994] No. I mean, you can basically tell that there's a head missing in some of the photos they show.

[1995] The head is...

[1996] off to the side enough it's really it's more graphic than any i've seen but i think because i've seen crime scene crime scene photos maybe not to that degree i forget the kids were there yeah it's just the kids never saw any of it because they were able to get to them and get them out through another door if they didn't they would become um dexter yeah that's how dexter splatter was born no his yeah his parents were brutally murdered and uh the cop that was the investigator on the scene picked up this little, little kid in the middle of all the blood and carried him out.

[1997] Yeah.

[1998] Rescued in blood.

[1999] Took him to the upside down world.

[2000] Um, now you're just joking around, but I was being very, very serious about OJ's kid, uh, perhaps becoming Dexter.

[2001] I don't appreciate you're just treating this so lightly.

[2002] I enjoyed the note that I think it might have been the first episode, so he hadn't even turned himself in yet.

[2003] But it reminded me of hearing about Jerry in his office when one of his cop buddies said they went to go see OJ and he had four TVs up with all of them on different networks covering the case.

[2004] Okay, so this goes into a thing I've got that is a problem I have with movies and TV shows.

[2005] One of them is movie fires.

[2006] Because if you're a fire aficionado like I am, you know that it'll look nice for like 10 minutes, but then you got to get in there and mess with it and put another piece of wood.

[2007] One of them I have with movie babies.

[2008] Yep.

[2009] Never need any, like you ever see the, you didn't do Ozark, did you?

[2010] No, but I mean, I know I've heard of that talk.

[2011] It's just like, oh, we have a kid, but then it's just over here and nothing, you know, like if you have a kid and it's awake.

[2012] You always know and it's always around or something, but you could just have a movie baby and, oh, no, I just fed the baby and it's fine.

[2013] I mean, you know my main one.

[2014] What?

[2015] Where nut goes.

[2016] Oh, if you're having sex?

[2017] In a movie, it just doesn't appear to.

[2018] You have sex and then you both just stop and no one gets a towel.

[2019] No one goes, I got to run to the bathroom.

[2020] You can start doing it in five seconds.

[2021] Yeah, it's just.

[2022] Close off, insert.

[2023] You flip the switch and then somehow no one's messy ever.

[2024] But the thing here is.

[2025] And he's never down there like aiming it in.

[2026] It's just like a perfect just wham.

[2027] Watch any TV show or a movie and let's say it's about you and there's things going on and that you've gone viral and whatever.

[2028] You're on every network or you're on a network and you walk into the room and everybody in your family is watching this thing about Jake.

[2029] He was arrested and you just like turn it off.

[2030] Yeah.

[2031] Like they're just, or they're just talking about you and they're in the middle of saying something and you're like, turn this crap off.

[2032] I don't want to see it.

[2033] No, if you're on TV, you're going to be watching everything that everybody's saying.

[2034] Yeah.

[2035] And that's what OJ, so that's true.

[2036] That's real life.

[2037] Of course it's true.

[2038] Yeah.

[2039] Yeah, but that classic scene of just the TV goes black.

[2040] You're like, let's get some fresh air.

[2041] So then this part, this part was, the whole thing is interesting.

[2042] Like the fact that they botched it by doing the perp walk.

[2043] I knew that.

[2044] Wait, what do you mean?

[2045] Like, just that they let him try to turn himself in so that they could have a – Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[2046] Let him turn himself in, but also they wanted him paraded in front of the cameras, and that's when he just didn't show up.

[2047] And then we get to the chase.

[2048] Right.

[2049] So much of it was – it feels like Hollywood -based.

[2050] Like, they wanted that.

[2051] They wanted – but obviously they also gave him some preferential treatment because he was – Yeah.

[2052] OJ, and they allowed him to, and the old grizzled veteran cop is like, I knew immediately that was terrible.

[2053] Yeah.

[2054] We just wanted to go arrest him and bring him in like we would any other person.

[2055] Which, and I thought when the chase happened, as everyone thought, well, this solidifies, he'll never get off now.

[2056] Yeah.

[2057] Once you have this in the can.

[2058] You know that, I mean, there's no way you can be found innocent.

[2059] And there's a crazy amount of stuff, too.

[2060] Like, just on what you know, obviously it's crazy he was not convicted.

[2061] But just on the stuff that they don't include in the trial, like as they're going through this, they'll be like, was not interviewed.

[2062] This witness who saw him throw away a duffel bag at the airport.

[2063] Yes.

[2064] Like an hour after the thing.

[2065] Cops never talk to him.

[2066] Or they'll say, this bag was recovered, never fingerprinted.

[2067] Or this blood was found, never tested.

[2068] Then you wonder, is it the prosecution office?

[2069] Yeah.

[2070] So another thing I don't think I've ever really thought about is OJ was married before.

[2071] And he was married for like 12 years.

[2072] OJ was married to Marguerite Whitley from 1967 to 1979.

[2073] And Marguerite or Marguerite.

[2074] Actually called into the national news, a la Baba Booey, in the middle of the OJ White Bronco chase.

[2075] And it's just on the air with him?

[2076] Yeah.

[2077] So she just calls in.

[2078] And she, similar to Baba Booey or sweaty Jen Olsen guy, they put her on and she has a bit of a, hey, do you remember when you played for the 49ers type bit?

[2079] And I...

[2080] cried laughing the first time I heard this.

[2081] Trigger warning for language.

[2082] We've been watching black men be set up falsely accused.

[2083] That's Christopher Darden.

[2084] We've been watching black men be set up falsely accused.

[2085] We all have a story.

[2086] When that Bronco went down the 405, it drug us all in.

[2087] All of a sudden, we all have some personal, emotional connection to OJ Simpson in this case.

[2088] We have OJ's first wife, Marguerite, on the telephone right now.

[2089] Marguerite, are you there?

[2090] Yes.

[2091] Yes.

[2092] Yes, I'm here.

[2093] I'm very gentle, sweet Marguerite.

[2094] We have OJ's first wife, Marguerite, on the telephone right now.

[2095] Marguerite, are you there?

[2096] Yes.

[2097] I just wanted to say, OJ, we love you, please.

[2098] Marguerite, you're urging OJ to run.

[2099] Run and run!

[2100] Yes, OJ, if you can hear me, run!

[2101] Run and run!

[2102] And she just yells the N -word.

[2103] OJ's first wife, Marguerite, on the telephone right now.

[2104] Marguerite, are you there?

[2105] Yes.

[2106] I just wanted to say, OJ, we love you, please.

[2107] Run, run, run!

[2108] Marguerite, you're urging OJ to run to escape?

[2109] No, OJ, don't.

[2110] Keep going, keep going.

[2111] Stand up for yours, OJ.

[2112] Keep going.

[2113] Keep going.

[2114] And this is live on TV.

[2115] Is that actually her then or no?

[2116] Man, I feel like if it wasn't, this documentary would have gotten to the bottom of that.

[2117] Okay, because if it was, that seems weird too.

[2118] Yeah, it all seems.

[2119] I mean, it sounds like she's kind of on her, the way that the Darden quote sets it up, like she's on her black power shit.

[2120] Yeah, yeah.

[2121] Like the Darden's like, look, we all kind of got wrapped up in this in the black community of like.

[2122] We just think he should get off.

[2123] Darden's a fascinating part of the whole thing, too.

[2124] Yeah.

[2125] I always liked him.

[2126] I mean, but his try on the glove thing, which he claims he kind of did on his own, and the rest of the prosecution is not distancing from that idea because it went so poorly.

[2127] Yeah.

[2128] They must have paid him a lot of money to be on this Netflix documentary because there's no way.

[2129] You just want to show up looking bad?

[2130] Yeah, nothing really.

[2131] I didn't come away from this going, oh, you know what?

[2132] He kind of got railroaded a little bit.

[2133] No, it makes him look bad all over the place.

[2134] He does look like a DEI ad, if you want to call it that, or just an obvious thing that you might want to have some black people on the...

[2135] But they laid it out as, I don't know if they've mentioned this yet, but they thought it was such a strong case that we don't have to care about the venue.

[2136] Remember the Rodney King trial?

[2137] I don't think was tried downtown LA.

[2138] It was tried in some kind of, is it Simi Valley?

[2139] Is that what it's called?

[2140] Simi Valley, yeah.

[2141] More of a white area.

[2142] And, you know, the just about all white jury acquitted the Rodney King police officers.

[2143] And I think for, so because of that, because that was in the air, they wanted to make sure they did it, you know, in this jurisdiction with more black jurors.

[2144] Because they had done that before, they didn't want the impropriate.

[2145] And they just thought, this is such an open and shut thing.

[2146] He was in the Bronco chase.

[2147] We got all this evidence that it doesn't matter what jury we get, they will convict him.

[2148] Yeah.

[2149] But Christopher Darden was black.

[2150] He was the only black team member.

[2151] At least two episodes in, Marsha Clark not taking the check that Christopher Darden did to appear here.

[2152] I haven't seen her.

[2153] Do you know if she's...

[2154] Do you want me to tell you?

[2155] Oh.

[2156] No, she doesn't appear.

[2157] I didn't think so.

[2158] I mean, they would have used that earlier.

[2159] But anyways, I just, I don't know if it's Peter Jennings or whoever, but he's just like, we're going to go to Marguerite now for a solemn message.

[2160] Run!

[2161] Did you see the whole chase then?

[2162] When she said scream.

[2163] To when they got to his house and everything?

[2164] Oh, yeah.

[2165] Incredible.

[2166] Yeah.

[2167] Like, imagine that.

[2168] Like, I can't even imagine that it actually happened.

[2169] And he's on the phone like, just let me get to my house.

[2170] But people were running to Hobby Lobby for cardboard and giant Sharpies to make huge signs.

[2171] Yeah.

[2172] And they'd be hanging them over or making a bed sheet and painting on a bed sheet, just hanging, you know, run OJ or go juice or whatever, and then running to the next, like, oh, man. All right.

[2173] I see where he is on the.

[2174] You know, the highway, if I make this thing real quick and I get over there in five minutes, I can hang this up.

[2175] It's incredible.

[2176] And it was bigger than any parade you've ever seen, like for a championship winning team.

[2177] Oh, yeah.

[2178] Just the people lining the highways.

[2179] The other crazy thing, too, is I don't know that you or I will ever be famous enough for this to have landed this way, but if you have an entire life of doing commercials out there, and doing goofy sketches, if you kill your wife, the documentary is super easy to make.

[2180] Yeah, there's so much.

[2181] Because the amount of times that OJ is just like, come here, bitch, like in a movie, or he's like, I'm going to get out of here right now, or they'll never catch me. They just splice that into the documentary every minute.

[2182] It's gold.

[2183] Really well done.

[2184] Run!

[2210] I don't know if you can.

[2211] Let's check out.

[2212] Yeah, there you go.

[2213] That's a sweet bottle.

[2214] Bearfightwhiskey .com.

[2215] Why would you show that to your monitor and not your camera?

[2216] I don't know.

[2217] You did show that to the monitor and not hold it in front of the camera.

[2218] Did it end up on camera?

[2219] I will hold this up if we're bragging about things people have sent us on camera.

[2220] Yeah?

[2221] Here, I'll show the monitor.

[2222] No. Got a little note here.

[2223] Aw.

[2224] Aw.

[2225] Dave Raymond left us a note.

[2226] What a nice guy.

[2227] He had to make sure the pen worked.

[2228] Maybe he had to make sure the pen worked.

[2229] Up there at the top.

[2230] He left that here?

[2231] Yeah, it was sitting on my desk when I walked in.

[2232] What a guy, that Dave Raymond.

[2233] Maybe we'll speak with him soon.

[2234] Yeah.

[2235] When is opening day?

[2236] 27?

[2237] March?

[2238] Yeah, March 27th.

[2239] One, two, three, four weeks and three days away.

[2240] And we'll be there.

[2241] On the bus.

[2242] Were you on the bus last year?

[2243] Of course you were.

[2244] Yeah.

[2245] Because I know you go to opening day every year, right?

[2246] Yeah, I finished the show, then walked across and went in the game.

[2247] What do you guys know about Sebastian Walcott?

[2248] He's 18 and, what, the second best prospect?

[2249] Most say he should be one.

[2250] Yeah, I agree.

[2251] You're going to be a 6 '5 shortstop?

[2252] Probably ends up going to be a left fielder for you, Dan.

[2253] You got Wyatt out there.

[2254] Maybe he's your right fielder after Adolis.

[2255] This, my friend, is...

[2256] Can he fill the leukocize hole in my heart?

[2257] Like, is he that good?

[2258] You say the number one prospect in all of baseball or no?

[2259] Or just for the range?

[2260] Trending that way.

[2261] He's number two in all of baseball.

[2262] Oh.

[2263] Yeah.

[2264] So many are saying that by his age 34 season, he'll finally pop.

[2265] Like Profar and have one good season.

[2266] This is a crazy story.

[2267] It feels like the sort of thing that's going to at least end up on a nice dateline, if not a Netflix series of its own.

[2268] I had a couple people email me about this.

[2269] So there's a teacher at Highland Park.

[2270] I think they've probably been relieved of their duties for now.

[2271] This does not involve a teacher -student sex story, so your hey -nows are fine for now.

[2272] This is actually involving a quarter -century -old cold case of something that took place in North Carolina.

[2273] It's back in February of 2000.

[2274] There was a nine -year -old girl named Asha, Asha Degree.

[2275] She went missing.

[2276] She's a nine -year -old.

[2277] She was a nine -year -old black girl.

[2278] And this teacher at Highland Park, I believe, was 14 or 15 at the time.

[2279] And her sister and her father in North Carolina were all kind of persons of interest at the time that this little girl disappeared.

[2280] But they're only in the last month or so getting new information, new warrants, new DNA.

[2281] And they have some questions for this teacher at Highland Park, which she has been evasive.

[2282] They approached her at school, at Highland Park Middle School.

[2283] She basically told him to buzz off.

[2284] They asked her for a polygraph.

[2285] She said no. And then they got the text messages between her, her wife, or excuse me, her sister and her father.

[2286] And there's a lot of talk about this murder.

[2287] Like, they think I did it.

[2288] They think she did.

[2289] They think Dad did it.

[2290] The text exchange, they're saying they think you did it or whatever.

[2291] Yeah.

[2292] They found this girl's book bag like six years later.

[2293] And in that book bag were some of her belongings, the nine -year -old who's missing, but also a couple things that weren't hers, including a book from her school library that she did not check out and another little girl's T -shirt.

[2294] So they've got that.

[2295] wrapped in garbage bags, they found that, about 20 miles north of where she disappeared.

[2296] They had eyes on a vehicle that she was said to have been getting into, an old beat -up green vehicle.

[2297] So never found the girl, never found the body?

[2298] No. Beat -up old green vehicle.

[2299] When they served these search warrants on their properties in the last half year, they found the beat -up old green vehicle.

[2300] And there's also a witness that came forward.

[2301] and said that at a house party in the mid -2000s, so let's say this is five years after the incident, the two sisters were at a party.

[2302] The younger one was extremely intoxicated and was upset, crying, talking about how she had killed nine -year -old Asha, at which point her older sister told her to shut the front door and stop crying.

[2303] Is older sister the teacher?

[2304] No. Oh, okay.

[2305] I think the older sister was 16.

[2306] The younger sister from Highland Park was 13 or 14.

[2307] Oh, the younger sister was the one crying.

[2308] I think so, yeah.

[2309] Saying she killed her.

[2310] Who was probably 18 or 19.

[2311] But, yeah.

[2312] I mean, the text messages are very damning.

[2313] Dude.

[2314] Are people going to learn that your text, you can't just then delete your text?

[2315] You know what else?

[2316] As part of this, I read the warrant.

[2317] And there's stuff in there about how like they can force you to look at or use your finger to unlock something if they have a warrant.

[2318] So let's say that your phone or your computer is you think you're all slick Snowden and it can only do your face.

[2319] There's actually a way that that law, at least in North Carolina, is written where it says something like have permission to compel the subject to unlock phone via physical.

[2320] They're going to get your shit if they want it.

[2321] Like if you have a safe at home.

[2322] Yeah.

[2323] And they get a warrant.

[2324] Yeah.

[2325] And the way that it's written is very, very specific of like you're going to give them what they want.

[2326] So in the case of this girl, she was in bed that night.

[2327] Her dad came in and saw her in bed, the 9 -year -old, at 2 .30 in the morning.

[2328] She was in bed.

[2329] The next time she was seen, she was walking on a freeway.

[2330] This is in the country in North Carolina at 4 o 'clock in the morning.

[2331] Two truckers saw her, say that they saw her.

[2332] One of them stopped and tried to make contact but failed to do so.

[2333] That's got to be tough.

[2334] Let's say you're a trucker.

[2335] You're in the middle of nowhere.

[2336] You see a nine -year -old walking.

[2337] Then you've got to wait for your next exit.

[2338] It's just not easy.

[2339] That's the last time anybody made contact for her.

[2340] A nine -year -old was a black girl.

[2341] Teacher?

[2342] Everyone else here is white.

[2343] But again, yeah, this is apparently very hot.

[2344] They're taking a break from Akator to post in the Highland Park Bombs group about this.

[2345] And everyone's like, wasn't here.

[2346] Wasn't here.

[2347] This person did something racist.

[2348] It wasn't here.

[2349] And if you read through the text messages also, it's tough to tell who's covering for who.

[2350] Whether it's the dad covering for the girl or the girls covering for the dad.

[2351] But somebody in this family killed this girl.

[2352] I would think it'd be less, well, based on my situation, it would be less likely that the girls would ever cover for the dead.

[2353] Man, I don't know, though.

[2354] Yeah, and I know what you mean, but, you know, some backwoods Southern family, like if there is a racial component to it.

[2355] But, you know, there is also some signs of the Rose Twins in the text messages where they're like, this is not our problem.

[2356] We're tired of taking care of his stuff.

[2357] We don't need to keep having to live this way.

[2358] Yeah.

[2359] So, again, it feels like this is going to become a national story.

[2360] Yeah.

[2361] Another wild one from the world of sinister romance a la Steve Smith.

[2362] A woman named Aurora Phelps, 43 -year -old woman from Las Vegas.

[2363] She has dual citizenship in the U .S. and Mexico.

[2364] She's been charged with a number of accounts, but...

[2365] Over the weekend, they announced sort of a superseding overarching 21 -count indictment for her role in an alleged romance scheme.

[2366] So starting back in 2021, there are at least four men that she has lured with the promises of romance online, actually met up with these men in person, and then to varying degrees drugged and robbed them.

[2367] Um, some of them like only while they were drugged others, she would gain access to their accounts without them knowing while they were drugged and then kind of keep the relationship going.

[2368] So the next time she saw him again, you know, Hey, get back into your phone here.

[2369] But, uh, very advanced operation.

[2370] There's some basic stuff like a quote cause him to consume a prescription drug without his knowledge and consent.

[2371] But in the case of this guy, she left the elderly man unconscious for almost five days, stole his phone, stole his tablet, stole his driver's license and bank cards, used that information to sell off his Apple stock valued at about $3 .3 million on E -Trade.

[2372] However, in that particular case, she was unable to remove the money from his account.

[2373] The last victim that she robbed, she met at a Hard Rock Hotel in Guadalajara in Mexico where she was living.

[2374] That guy died at that hotel.

[2375] She used one of his accounts to buy something called an APEMX coin, Clayton.

[2376] Apparently she was just buying gold.

[2377] And she had that mailed to her house.

[2378] There she is on screen, Dan, if you were interested in Googling this story at home.

[2379] Aurora Phelps is her name.

[2380] All right.

[2381] Yeah.

[2382] You never want to hook up with an Apple Store employee because they might do this to you.

[2383] Like they can get in your stuff, figure that out right away.

[2384] Right?

[2385] Like a genius bar chick, you're thinking it's all cool because she has a nose ring.

[2386] Well, no, I was actually focusing more on that part in my experience with that type and telling you that it's not, even before they steal your credit card, it's not always easy.

[2387] What do you mean easy?

[2388] Well, you were like, this is the reason you don't want to date a girl.

[2389] I'm just saying you're enamored with it.

[2390] You know she's wild.

[2391] What I'm telling you is there's a lot of reasons you don't want to date her.

[2392] But one is that they could really hack into your...

[2393] Like, if you hooked up with my wife, you're going to have a lot of problems, but one of them will not be...

[2394] Or being able to get into your electronics.

[2395] You feel like if I were subject, like I was having romance with your wife and she got an idea about fleecing me, you think that I'd be safe with my two -factor authentication?

[2396] That's right.

[2397] That's probably enough.

[2398] One factor is plenty on her.

[2399] Dude, is there anything worse than two -factor authentication?

[2400] I think it's probably saving us a lot of something in the end, but it feels like it's not protecting us.

[2401] It's probably protecting the company more.

[2402] The only thing worse is two -factor authentication with a six -month...

[2403] You've got to change your password every six months.

[2404] Oh, my God.

[2405] We don't have to do that anymore.

[2406] That was a big key listing.

[2407] That was a huge beating.

[2408] I can't keep adding 69 to this.

[2409] Have you had one?

[2410] I had one recently.

[2411] It wouldn't let me...

[2412] Just do any variation of what my previous password was.

[2413] Yeah, my wife was actually telling me about that this morning at her job.

[2414] Any word you've ever used.

[2415] Right, so if I had Steve Smith 1, and then Steve Smith 2, and then every year you just do a different thing.

[2416] Steve Smith Sr. 1.

[2417] Right.

[2418] Yeah, that's a horrible bit.

[2419] Steve Smith IUD.

[2420] Yeah, I don't think that I can get...

[2421] regular scammed but i could see a scenario where your wife your wife's gone you're old you have old balls and you have maybe a little bit of money and you're not like your kids are okay and you're like whatever you're gonna go spend a week in guadalajara with some hoochie mama from tinder for five grand why not yeah and the next thing you know you know she's selling all my top shots for oh no My NFTs for low value.

[2422] Boy, what an error that was.

[2423] She's giving away all my Hawk Tua coin.

[2424] Where's she at?

[2425] I saw her come out and talk, and it was not encouraging.

[2426] She was very scared.

[2427] I think this means we're pretty close to an OnlyFans.

[2428] Yeah.

[2429] I don't know.

[2430] I think she made enough that...

[2431] She may be in some serious legal hot water, though, that could be wiping all that profit out.

[2432] She's about to give it all back.

[2433] Yeah.

[2434] That's too bad.

[2435] But, you know, hooking up with her, or just out on a date, it's the modern -day equivalent of going out on a date with Monica Lewinsky 20 years ago.

[2436] Oh, yeah.

[2437] What, I'm not good enough to spit on?

[2438] You're just kind of waiting.

[2439] You're just waiting.

[2440] You're kind of making out and stuff.

[2441] You're kind of like nudging her down, literally pushing harder on her shoulder.

[2442] Do you think it's like – You know, I know you do this.

[2443] Yeah.

[2444] I know you will.

[2445] This is what it's all based on.

[2446] And like if you don't – I imagine like – She's got a lot of pressure on her too.

[2447] Sometimes you'll see this in a depiction of like an agent in the back of a room while an athlete's giving a press conference.

[2448] But I can also kind of see it if your kid has a speech to give or like a recital.

[2449] They sometimes will show the parent in the back of the room kind of mouthing the words with them.

[2450] I imagine you have Hawk to a girl there and you just kind of occasionally start going.

[2451] Yeah.

[2452] Trying to egg her on a little bit.

[2453] The only thing funny about this Aurora Phelps story is just imagining this case's versions of the Roast Twins having to learn about all this.

[2454] What the f - Fuck, you sold dad's apple stock?

[2455] Like, there's a 22 -year -old college student in this story who just had their life inheritance wiped out.

[2456] Who's going to pay for my car now?

[2457] Yeah.

[2458] I haven't changed the oil in years.

[2459] Smart to buy gold, though.

[2460] Yeah, she is a...

[2461] She is, at the end of the day, a very prudent financial...

[2462] Financial woman looking to the long term with the American Precious Metals Exchange purchase.

[2463] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[2464] Go away.

[2465] Go.

[2466] Stop it.

[2467] There's your news.

[2468] I like that.

[2469] Like and subscribe.

[2470] Today in history will be brought to us by Frankel & Frankel Personal Injury Attorneys.

[2471] If you get in an accident, an auto accident, you should call the Frankels, 214 or 817, and then all threes.

[2472] That's very easy to remember.

[2473] They are here for you.

[2474] They're going to fight the insurance companies for you.

[2475] Fight.

[2476] They will get you what you deserve.

[2477] That's right, Franklin Frankel.

[2478] Just remember their names.

[2479] And remember their phone number.

[2480] It's very easy.

[2481] 214 -817 -333 -3333.

[2482] We don't want you to get in an accident.

[2483] But it would be too much of us to ask, if you do get in that accident, to immediately call the Frankels.

[2484] We're not saying force one.

[2485] No, but I mean, how many people would say, you know what?

[2486] If I was going to get a million dollars, I would definitely get in an accident and I'd break my knee.

[2487] So in that case, if you're one of those people that say that in your head, then I do want you to get in an accident.

[2488] I don't generally want people to get in an accident.

[2489] But let's say you're one of those people.

[2490] I would like the sun to shine on you today.

[2491] I want you to get in an accident and I want you to call the Frankles.

[2492] And then everybody's going to win.

[2493] Yeah, I mean.

[2494] Frankles will be happy they got a little business from their advertisement here.

[2495] Everything is super on the up and up.

[2496] You're going to get that million dollars you want.

[2497] You know?

[2498] Oh, yeah.

[2499] The only ones that aren't winning.

[2500] Not a whiff of impropriety.

[2501] I'm just saying.

[2502] No. Do you think I can actually affect change?

[2503] I cannot.

[2504] I don't know anything, but do you think what shirt I wear is going to make the Mavs win or lose?

[2505] It's not.

[2506] So I hope for a lot of things, and they just don't happen.

[2507] I just hope that you're happy if you're listening here.

[2508] And if your happiness is based on getting in an accident and getting a big settlement, then by God, I want that for you.

[2509] Okay.

[2510] All threes.

[2511] Yeah.

[2512] Where were we?

[2513] Oh.

[2514] Some stuff happened probably around this day.

[2515] Fire up their mics.

[2516] Why don't you fire up their mics?

[2517] These guys are laughing over here and nobody thinks we're doing anything funny.

[2518] Fucking Blake.

[2519] So today is, you know, it's a very rare...

[2520] I don't think I got a listener birthday.

[2521] Oh, wow.

[2522] Remember this day.

[2523] Okay.

[2524] Yeah.

[2525] Very rarely do we have one day without a birthday.

[2526] Today is Monday, February 24th.

[2527] On this day in 1938, the first nylon bristle toothbrush was manufactured.

[2528] Dr. West's Miracle Toothbrush.

[2529] So before 1938, What was a toothbrush made of?

[2530] What were we doing?

[2531] Any idea?

[2532] Mohair?

[2533] No, it's not bad.

[2534] Horsehair?

[2535] Yarn.

[2536] I don't know.

[2537] I just played that music thinking somebody else would be able to answer it.

[2538] On this day in 1988, in a ruling that expanded legal protections for parody and satire, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned A $150 ,000 award that the Reverend Jerry Falwell had won against Hustler Magazine and their publisher, Larry Flint.

[2539] Because in the back of Hustler, like the very last page, maybe it was the second last page.

[2540] One of them was Beaver Hunt, where you would send in a Polaroid or just send in a picture of your wife's downstairs area.

[2541] What?

[2542] Yeah.

[2543] And they would...

[2544] they would plaster them across on the last page.

[2545] So have you ever heard of Spicoli from The Bone?

[2546] No. Okay.

[2547] So he was a stoner type guy who for like a year or two on The Bone, 93 .3 in Dallas, when they were hard rock, they had a guy named, they called him Spicoli.

[2548] And Spicoli's claim to fame was he once sent in his girlfriend's snatch on Beaver Hunt and got it into Hustler.

[2549] And it was gross.

[2550] Like, it was the grossest page because it was just a close -up.

[2551] You wouldn't see the whole lady.

[2552] You would just see like that.

[2553] Maybe you would see the whole lady.

[2554] Am I high?

[2555] I feel like it was a pretty tight shot, as it were.

[2556] Just search Hustler Beaver Hunt, and you're going to see a picture.

[2557] But it was like a collage, though, right?

[2558] Because there was...

[2559] Right.

[2560] There wasn't just one guy.

[2561] No, it was like a whole page.

[2562] Yeah, like 15, 20 guys.

[2563] 15, 20 ladies.

[2564] Yeah.

[2565] Or the home plates.

[2566] Did anybody ever do anything cool like...

[2567] Like the die of hearts?

[2568] Well, I was going to say like, you know, when people will be like, hey, here's my mural of Luca that's all just different Coke cans.

[2569] That'd be great.

[2570] But it's just a bunch of different little...

[2571] Yeah, I bet somebody could do that.

[2572] i have a generation kill beaver hunt um tie -in okay it's a true story you know and uh the uh reporter i think i have this clip here will it play i gotta be a battalion for a while so make sure nothing happens while i'm there this is a writer who's getting in bed with us he's from rolling stone so be gentle so they get a rolling stone reporter and they're like look at this homo rolling stone They don't give us a dope -smoking peace -freak ryer.

[2573] You're right about how we're all baby killers and mama rapers, huh?

[2574] You're gonna tell all them people that read Rolling Stone how it feels to be in a war?

[2575] Could be worse.

[2576] I used to write for Hustler.

[2577] You wrote for Hustler?

[2578] We're in the presence of greatness.

[2579] What did you write for Hustler?

[2580] Porn reviews, hot letters...

[2581] Beaver Hunt.

[2582] You wrote Beaver Hunt?

[2583] This guy wrote Beaver Hunt.

[2584] He must have those floors.

[2585] Take his bag to a special spot.

[2586] Whoa!

[2587] This guy wrote Beaver Hunt?

[2588] So the last two pages, one was Beaver Hunt, one was the Asshole of the Month, and it was a picture of a donkey's behind, but the middle of it had Larry Flint's face, and then it would be an article about somebody who was a really bad person.

[2589] That's why Larry Flint sued him.

[2590] Not a bad movie.

[2591] Or excuse me. It was a picture of Jerry Falwell's face.

[2592] Larry Flint was the guy who owned Hustler.

[2593] On this day in 2020, former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein convicted of rape and sexual assault against two women.

[2594] And on this day in 2021...

[2595] What was the deal with his penis?

[2596] It was something weird, right?

[2597] Something identifiable about it?

[2598] Like deformed.

[2599] That's weird looking at him.

[2600] On this day in 2021, Lady Gaga's dog walker.

[2601] Looked like it had been chopped off and sewn back on.

[2602] It's a funny thing to be like, hey, we're finally going to, after half a century, everyone's going to know this guy's a raper.

[2603] You're like, get him.

[2604] And then everyone's like, also his dick is super weird.

[2605] Right.

[2606] It's gross.

[2607] Insulting.

[2608] And I wouldn't have liked it even if it were normal, but also it wasn't.

[2609] That was the worst part.

[2610] Yeah.

[2611] If he was raping with a nice wiener, it'd be one thing.

[2612] Oh, yeah.

[2613] Dog Walker got shot, right?

[2614] But it's like you're a slave, but you're owned by the Siamese twins.

[2615] I'm hanging chain.

[2616] Like, you got raped.

[2617] Lady Gaga's Dog Walker shot.

[2618] Oh.

[2619] Two of her French bulldogs stolen.

[2620] She offered a $500 ,000 reward for the return of the dogs.

[2621] They were recovered unharmed two days later.

[2622] But the dog walker's funeral expenses, you've got to take care of those on your own.

[2623] Just give me my dog's back.

[2624] Right.

[2625] So I think it's the dog walker, because I read this as Lady Gaga's dog Walker was shot.

[2626] I thought his name was Walker, but no. She has a person employed just to walk the dog, which...

[2627] I think sounds great.

[2628] It's way down my list, but it's on the list.

[2629] Like, I would love a driver.

[2630] That's the best.

[2631] But what if you didn't have to go walk your dog?

[2632] Like, it's hard enough for me to, like, ask my wife to go do it.

[2633] Yeah, I think it's very popular in big cities.

[2634] Very popular.

[2635] Like, that's a thing?

[2636] Yeah, I mean, it's just a lot harder to get your dog any sort of exercise.

[2637] I used to see them by the W. Because there's people that live there, you know, and we'd be walking to work.

[2638] You'd see a professional dog walker?

[2639] I mean, we would stand to reason that this guy with like six designer breed dogs.

[2640] Okay.

[2641] I'm just thinking like that guy, I'm pretty sure, yeah.

[2642] And a famous wedding on this date in 1992, Courtney Love married Kurt Cobain.

[2643] Happily ever after.

[2644] That'll end well.

[2645] He was 25, she was 27.

[2646] Birthdays today, Roddy Bobois.

[2647] Man, Jake.

[2648] 37.

[2649] Maybe still time to...

[2650] Do not trade him.

[2651] By a little scoring punch?

[2652] Untouchable.

[2653] Yeah, there was once a time in this Mavs organization where they said, I can't trade Roddy Bobois.

[2654] Like, I won't trade him.

[2655] Who else you want?

[2656] He had a big playoff game.

[2657] Golfer Zach Johnson, 49.

[2658] Not Paulina's husband.

[2659] That's Dustin.

[2660] Paulina who?

[2661] Gretzky.

[2662] Gretzky.

[2663] Oh.

[2664] I was thinking Porizkova.

[2665] She's married to somebody famous too.

[2666] I was thinking.

[2667] But I think he's in the cars or something.

[2668] Rico Kasich?

[2669] Yeah, Rico Kasich.

[2670] Is that true?

[2671] Yeah.

[2672] Brian Flores, 44.

[2673] Lawsuit.

[2674] Phil Knight, 87.

[2675] Phew.

[2676] Good book.

[2677] That's what I've heard.

[2678] The Phil Knight book.

[2679] Or what's his name?

[2680] Our guy.

[2681] Jordan Rodgers?

[2682] Yeah, he told me to read that book.

[2683] Or somebody did.

[2684] Anyway, I read it, and they were right.

[2685] It's good.

[2686] I mean, there was no stroking of wings or anything, but still I enjoyed it.

[2687] Eddie Murray is 69, our War Games winner today.

[2688] He had 68 .7 war.

[2689] I had his baseball card as a kid.

[2690] He was on a commercial.

[2691] I can't remember if it was Reebok or Nike, but they used the...

[2692] Like the super racist song that's also the ice cream truck song as a theme.

[2693] Oh, yeah.

[2694] I think I've played this on the air before.

[2695] Pop Goes the Weasel?

[2696] And he's a three -time winner of a golden glove.

[2697] Oh, that's not Pop Goes the Weasel.

[2698] No, but I think that ice cream truck song is, I think it's about slaves.

[2699] Yeah, we've done that.

[2700] Floyd Mayweather Jr., 48.

[2701] Can't read.

[2702] You can't even read.

[2703] Mike Fratello, 78.

[2704] I can't even read.

[2705] The czar of the Telestrator.

[2706] Trace Cyrus, 36.

[2707] I'm pretty sure he's adopted, I think.

[2708] Oh, really?

[2709] Well, no. I learned of him because in our recent Billy Ray Cyrus at the inaugural ball.

[2710] Oh, Dave.

[2711] Oh, man. Oh.

[2712] His son came out and was like, hey, I was on some stuff myself.

[2713] Maybe it's time Dad joins the family in the hab.

[2714] Dominic Cianisi is 94.

[2715] I don't know who that is.

[2716] Uncle Junior.

[2717] Oh, okay.

[2718] Kind of looks like the Six Flags guy.

[2719] Yeah.

[2720] That guy was awesome.

[2721] That guy was awesome.

[2722] What was Uncle Junior's bit?

[2723] He didn't want to...

[2724] He ate pee, but he didn't want anybody to know.

[2725] That's all of our bit.

[2726] Let's see.

[2727] Rupert Holmes, 78.

[2728] He is the author of the Pina Colada song.

[2729] Oh, wow.

[2730] Are you familiar with that?

[2731] If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

[2732] Right.

[2733] Oh, yeah.

[2734] Popularized in dirty work.

[2735] You've explained this.

[2736] Dirty work fans in the house tonight.

[2737] Terrible lyrics because great lyrics as far as the catch, if you like pina coladas.

[2738] So the whole bit is that he's tired of his woman.

[2739] I get it, bro.

[2740] Okay?

[2741] You're just doing the same stuff over and over again, and you're like, is this it?

[2742] Is my life over?

[2743] So back in the age of newspapers, he puts out a personal ad, or he's reading the personal ads, and he sees a personal ad that says, if you like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, the feel of the ocean, the taste of champagne, if you're not into yoga, you have half a brain, if you like making love at midnight.

[2744] I'm the love that you look for.

[2745] Anyway, so he reads that.

[2746] Then he writes back to the paper.

[2747] And it says here, took out a personal ad.

[2748] Though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad.

[2749] Yes, I like pina coladas.

[2750] Getting caught in the rain.

[2751] Not much.

[2752] So all he did is just repeat exactly what she wrote.

[2753] And then he's like, not bad.

[2754] I think it's pretty good.

[2755] No poet.

[2756] And then the punchline is he then goes to meet her at this bar.

[2757] And it's his woman.

[2758] And then they're both happy about it.

[2759] They're like, ah, this is cool.

[2760] We were both writing a thing because we hated each other.

[2761] But now we realize that we are for each other because we like all these things.

[2762] Yeah, it's a tough scene.

[2763] I mean, both of you know that you're looking to bang someone else.

[2764] Yeah.

[2765] So I guess that night, everything's going to be cool.

[2766] Right.

[2767] Because you're all real horny and everything.

[2768] Champagne.

[2769] George Thurgood is 75.

[2770] I have no problem with Bad to the Bone.

[2771] Are you serious?

[2772] No, I don't know.

[2773] I'm just saying I had a problem with Rupert Holmes, but I'm not fired up about Bad to the Bone.

[2774] What's wrong with it?

[2775] That's what's wrong with it?

[2776] It's a song for children?

[2777] Did he do One Bourbon, One Shot, One Beer?

[2778] Yeah, it's the same song.

[2779] He's definitely got Pass the Ketchup Guy, Tone Loke.

[2780] What about his old friend Johnny Walker?

[2781] He's probably all the same song.

[2782] Your old friend Buddy Weiser.

[2783] How did they let him get away with that?

[2784] And almost all of his songs were covers.

[2785] Really?

[2786] Yeah, they're all older songs that he just decided to redo.

[2787] Bad to the bone.

[2788] I mean, that's exceptionally bad if you think about it.

[2789] Yeah, that's from the 30s or something.

[2790] He's not surface level bad.

[2791] All the way.

[2792] Sammy Kershaw.

[2793] Sammy Kershaw.

[2794] 67.

[2795] Daniel Kaluuya from Get Out is 36.

[2796] Yeah, he's...

[2797] He was also in a pretty good Black Mirror.

[2798] Of course, from London.

[2799] In a new series that I'm starting today.

[2800] We're trying to freshen this thing up for 2025.

[2801] Hit me. Name that friend's secondary character.

[2802] Oh, I can't play.

[2803] Well, this isn't really directed at you.

[2804] I know, I know.

[2805] You ready?

[2806] Yeah, I was born ready.

[2807] Deborah Jo Rupp is 74.

[2808] Deborah Jo Rupp is 74.

[2809] I'll tell you her name, and then you tell me who she was.

[2810] Like, I'll tell you her name on the show.

[2811] Okay.

[2812] Maybe in the future, because I just came up with this series just moments ago.

[2813] I'll throw a picture.

[2814] I'll show you a picture every time.

[2815] But her name in Friends is Alice Knight.

[2816] This is not off to a good start.

[2817] I don't know.

[2818] Can the bit.

[2819] Let's see if I open this.

[2820] Because it's not Generation Kill.

[2821] We've got to kill the bit.

[2822] If I show you this photo.

[2823] You're outnumbered now.

[2824] Can I even turn this with the music and everything?

[2825] Oh, that's Phoebe's brother's girlfriend who Phoebe had to have her triplets with, or four, and then wanted to keep one.

[2826] There you go.

[2827] She married Phoebe's brother.

[2828] That's pretty solid.

[2829] Yeah.

[2830] I'll still give it to you.

[2831] I think that's great.

[2832] Also, Kitty from That 70s Show.

[2833] Ah.

[2834] Yeah.

[2835] Okay.

[2836] Of course.

[2837] Born on this day, now dead, Steve Jobs.

[2838] Oh, no, I'll just drink all this juice.

[2839] It'll work great.

[2840] If I just believe in it.

[2841] A wonderful biography on Steve Jobs.

[2842] But yes.

[2843] Isn't there a chapter in the middle that's just about what a good daddy was?

[2844] No, I think he was a terrible dad.

[2845] Are you joking?

[2846] Of course I'm joking.

[2847] Oh, okay, yeah.

[2848] But, yeah, he...

[2849] I mean, the thing is, he invited this biographer in to do a biography on him.

[2850] He knew he was dying and said, all is open.

[2851] That is cool.

[2852] I think Walter Isaacson.

[2853] That's right.

[2854] It's wonderful and it would highlight, yeah, he would park in handicapped parking spots everywhere he went.

[2855] Didn't care.

[2856] I don't do that.

[2857] Why are you looking at me?

[2858] I'm looking at, I'm definitely not, I'm looking across at the two of you and feeling like I could at least get some.

[2859] I've never done a handicap spot for more than like 10 seconds.

[2860] He would go into a restaurant and just sit down and eat, parked in a handicap spot because it was close, and he would be like, I'll just pay the ticket.

[2861] Don't look away from me. Jake is looking at me, Dan.

[2862] Why?

[2863] I stole my buddy's grandma's handicap sticker, and I parked in handicap parking for a very long time.

[2864] Well, at least you had that sticker.

[2865] He would just...

[2866] Although maybe Steve Jobs did it better because then he would contribute to the local economy because he would just pay the ticket.

[2867] I just needed a place to park at North Texas.

[2868] So I parked in the church's parking lot across the street in their handicapped spot.

[2869] Did you fake a limp or anything?

[2870] Nope.

[2871] But also, yeah, he did get diagnosed with cancer, but he was a vegan and he just thought...

[2872] Yes, I'll drink juice, I'll eat more greens, and I will holistically...

[2873] Because a lot of times, like it's written in here, the reason they think he acted like this is because he would be told stuff couldn't be done.

[2874] Like with the iPhone or developing the iPod or whatever, and the engineers would be like, you can't do this, you can't do this.

[2875] And he would kind of will it into existence, and they would end up doing it, and it would work.

[2876] And so he kind of felt like he could just do that throughout life.

[2877] He could will this thing away.

[2878] You know, why not both is what my thought would be.

[2879] Why not more kale and chemo, but each their own.

[2880] Yeah, try them.

[2881] By the way, my wife fight over the weekend in the otherwise great time.

[2882] Love it.

[2883] Friday night at the school.

[2884] We weren't late.

[2885] It was at 6.

[2886] But it's a come and go thing.

[2887] We got there at 6 .05.

[2888] Parking non -existent other than like in the neighborhood the school's in, which to me is fine because I'll just drop them off at the front door and I'll just walk with my boy, let him run around.

[2889] Ten minutes of silence.

[2890] No problem.

[2891] There's the key.

[2892] And you're viewed as a great guy.

[2893] Yeah.

[2894] Oh.

[2895] But she's like, no, let's just park up here.

[2896] Other people are, which is the fire lane.

[2897] Now, yeah, there are cars in the fire lane.

[2898] I'm like, I just don't want to do that.

[2899] And now you're arguing in front of the kids.

[2900] Yeah, and I'm just like, can we not even try it?

[2901] She's like, they're just going to tow you?

[2902] I just don't do it.

[2903] It says don't do it.

[2904] I don't do it.

[2905] Sorry.

[2906] Trying to have a properly functioning society.

[2907] Then she was like, I'm going to call Steve Smith and have him rearrange my IUD.

[2908] Senior.

[2909] Drinking Jake would have parked there.

[2910] Oh, yeah, for sure.

[2911] Prehab Jake would have parked there.

[2912] Yeah, whatever.

[2913] Also born on this day, now dead, Mitch Hedberg.

[2914] And Dave Strader.

[2915] Good dude.

[2916] Stars play by play man. Very, very cool guy.

[2917] Yep.

[2918] Very cool guy.

[2919] Died on this day, still dead.

[2920] You've got Robert Fulton.

[2921] He built the first steamboat.

[2922] All right.

[2923] Don Knotts.

[2924] Who's he?

[2925] The Andy Griffith show or something?

[2926] Yeah.

[2927] Okay.

[2928] Sweet.

[2929] And Harold Ramis.

[2930] The Great.

[2931] So great.

[2932] That's maybe what?

[2933] Top five?

[2934] And that was today in history.

[2935] Comedy film writer ever?

[2936] Put that resume up there, bro.

[2937] Ghostbusters?

[2938] Animal House, Meatballs, Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack 2.

[2939] Maybe we can leave that one out.

[2940] Groundhog Day.

[2941] Didn't he have a long feud with Bill Murray?

[2942] Very long.

[2943] And I believe it was only really rectified when he was about to die.

[2944] I've just recently learned of a long -standing feud between Wayne and Garth.

[2945] Did you know there was that?

[2946] No. Maybe I'll save that for later this week.

[2947] Somebody sent us a Reddit thread of...

[2948] Beaver hunt pictures.

[2949] And it is not close -ups.

[2950] These poor women.

[2951] Oh, it's like you see their whole face?

[2952] You can just be told, just lay on the bed here.

[2953] Be a little provocative and put your hand down there.

[2954] It's real nasty, isn't it?

[2955] Let me snap this picture.

[2956] It's nasty.

[2957] I'd probably flip right to it.

[2958] Yeah, sure.

[2959] It's people's grandma right now.

[2960] Well, it's not like Hustler was well -known for being...

[2961] Right, tasteful.

[2962] Yeah.

[2963] So 70s.

[2964] We did have a community hustler in the bathroom at the dorm.

[2965] It was only four guys, like two guys in one room, two guys in the other.

[2966] So that's not that bad.

[2967] Ah, I see no problem with that.

[2968] But we would just leave it there.

[2969] Until you start to learn what everyone else's favorite pages are.

[2970] Marked the territory here.

[2971] For some reason at the time, I never thought any of that was dirty or unsanitary.

[2972] Now I would just hate the fact that anyone else was going in that bathroom at all.

[2973] I know, and I don't...

[2974] Look, we all go through our own personal developments, but it is weird to me to imagine you, because I'm still pretty much how I was then, but you're the guy who was on the mayonnaise and mustard acid bus to Daytona Beach.

[2975] Just sleeping in cars every now and then.

[2976] Yeah.

[2977] And now it's, oh.

[2978] Again.

[2979] You know.

[2980] Growth.

[2981] Are they going to have edamame beans there or some uppity thing?

[2982] I do like edamame.

[2983] Anyway, let's go back to Craig and Dan for closing remarks.

[2984] And you know what's great at the end of a show?

[2985] What's that?

[3009] Yes, that's correct.

[3010] Oh, okay.

[3011] I drive commercials every day, bro.

[3012] You do.

[3013] This guy, he's an unpaid slave.

[3014] What does that mean?

[3015] Underpaid.

[3016] Underpaid.

[3017] Like a big rig?

[3018] Yes, that's correct.

[3019] UPS.

[3020] UPS.

[3021] Oh, okay.

[3022] Is that tough driving one of those?

[3023] Looks fun.

[3024] Traffic isn't fun, but outside of that, I enjoy it.

[3025] How often are you home over the years?

[3026] What's your normal...

[3027] The schedule I'm on right now, I get off early Friday mornings, and then I go back in early Tuesday morning.

[3028] Okay, and you could be anywhere by Thursday.

[3029] Oh, you're driving across country?

[3030] Oh, yeah.

[3031] Okay, I thought you meant your UPS driver, just the truck around town.

[3032] No, no, not anymore.

[3033] No. You were that.

[3034] Well, I never did the...

[3035] Show up to your house and hand you your box.

[3036] I never did any of that.

[3037] Just like airport to hub type stuff before that?

[3038] Yeah.

[3039] Truck driver.

[3040] Kind of always been interested.

[3041] Don't get a lot of steps, probably.

[3042] No, you don't get a lot of steps.

[3043] Oddly enough, the Apple Watch registers real bumpy roads as...

[3044] Yeah, that's good.

[3045] So I close a lot of my activity rings even though I just sit behind a wheel.

[3046] Okay.

[3047] Is it a big rig?

[3048] Oh, yeah.

[3049] Okay.

[3050] Yeah.

[3051] So does your company, UPS, do they pay for the toll lane?

[3052] Everything.

[3053] I pay everything.

[3054] Okay, so you're the a -hole in front of me. Yeah, 100%.

[3055] That's why he's clogging it.

[3056] His company's paying for it.

[3057] Oh, what if I just go in this toll lane and drive slower than the posted limit?

[3058] No consequences.

[3059] The downside is I can only go 70.

[3060] Yeah, I know.

[3061] Yeah.

[3062] Oh, yeah.

[3063] Yeah.

[3064] Oh, and trust me, the people behind me know too.

[3065] But, yeah.

[3066] But you're like, whatever, I'll just do that because I'm the most important person.

[3067] Well, I don't want to sit in traffic.

[3068] I'm not going to get paid to sit in traffic.

[3069] Yeah.

[3070] You sleep in the rig at night, like on the road?

[3071] I sleep in the rig when the other guy's driving.

[3072] Oh, okay.

[3073] It's a two -man job always.

[3074] Yep.

[3075] Well, this one is, yeah.

[3076] You carry a gun?

[3077] No, we're not allowed to.

[3078] That's surprising to me. Like independent contractor truckers, they do, right?

[3079] I would hope so, but I don't.

[3080] I just feel like those guys are sleeping on the side of the road a lot.

[3081] They are.

[3082] Oh, yeah.

[3083] You're sleeping wherever you can get it parked.

[3084] Lot lizards?

[3085] I only had one experience with a lot lizard, and it was a long time ago.

[3086] She didn't approach me. She approached my partner at the time and asked him.

[3087] She said, I'll do anything you want for some breakfast.

[3088] And he thought it was the saddest thing in the world, so he just went in and bought her breakfast.

[3089] That's not a good deal.

[3090] Yeah, damn, man. Well, I mean, I guess it's good.

[3091] Think of the possibilities.

[3092] She was offering you a lot.

[3093] Yeah.

[3094] Have you ever showered at a gas station?

[3095] I have.

[3096] At a truck stop or?

[3097] Yeah.

[3098] Oh, yeah.

[3099] Yeah, all the time.

[3100] Flying J. Yeah, I was just on the way back from the office.

[3101] Do you wear mostly loves, but yeah.

[3102] Love's great, too.

[3103] Do you wear flip -flops?

[3104] Yeah, the little thin ones, yeah.

[3105] Okay.

[3106] I just get worried about it.

[3107] I think Dan would be a good truck driver.

[3108] Just focused, routine.

[3109] I mean, I like routine, but nobody's doing it like him.

[3110] Pop a dip in.

[3111] Maybe a Lucy.

[3112] Yeah, I do like a little THC, though.

[3113] Yeah.

[3114] Yeah, that would be a problem.

[3115] That'd be a problem.

[3116] Especially now, they have a nationwide clearinghouse.

[3117] So if you fail a drug test at one company, everybody will know now.

[3118] What are they going to do next?

[3119] Do that with kids who get diddled by teachers?

[3120] You can have everybody finding out everything all over the place.

[3121] Yeah, it used to be if you failed a drug test, they'd just fire you and you'd go get a job somewhere else.

[3122] Ah, the Catholic Church way.

[3123] Yeah, but now everybody will know that you failed a drug test.

[3124] That sucks.

[3125] That's the man for you.

[3126] Yeah, it is.

[3127] But what are you going to do with your winnings?

[3128] What about states' rights?

[3129] About TV.

[3130] What is about states' rights?

[3131] TV's still, TV's like, I don't guess.

[3132] That's right.

[3133] You got a hundred inch TV, but you're on the road.

[3134] Yeah.

[3135] Yeah.

[3136] My wife gets to watch it a lot.

[3137] I bought her a new TV stand for it to go on too.

[3138] She didn't like building.

[3139] How about she loves her life?

[3140] It's pretty sweet.

[3141] It's better now.

[3142] This guy's gone five days a week.

[3143] Yeah.

[3144] Comes back.

[3145] I'm home more now than I am.

[3146] Just a big pile of money.

[3147] Yeah, I had a really long route where I was gone.

[3148] It was 6 ,200 miles a week.

[3149] I kind of laughed when Blake was talking about how much he drove.

[3150] I was in my car and I picked Blake's ass.

[3151] But yeah, I had a 6 ,200 mile a week that we did.

[3152] I was not home very much at all.

[3153] You ever see any crime?

[3154] Not really.

[3155] Like a nine -year -old black girl walking on the shoulder?

[3156] Or anything like that.

[3157] I've never seen anything like that.

[3158] You're kind of awake when the rest of the world is not a lot.

[3159] You ever have people do this?

[3160] All the time, and our trucks don't have, UPS trucks don't have the air horn, so it sucks.

[3161] Is that still a thing kids do?

[3162] Oh, yeah.

[3163] Okay.

[3164] Grown -ups do that shit, too.

[3165] All right, that was huge.

[3166] Yeah.

[3167] A huge part of my life.

[3168] Yeah, so I guess some of the rest of the money, spring break, we're going to Sedona.

[3169] Nice.

[3170] So we bought a bunch of excursions and stuff out there.

[3171] You know what?

[3172] It was worth it, Blake.

[3173] Why are you trying to strip this man of his joy?

[3174] My wife and I are going to Chicago in April to see the Rangers and the Cubs.

[3175] Never been to Wrigley.

[3176] Nice.

[3177] Yeah, so that'll be fun.

[3178] Yeah.

[3179] Look at all.

[3180] I was going to say that we've done for you, but we didn't do it.

[3181] You didn't do much.

[3182] Yeah, and what's Craig's bid?

[3183] Did you put in your kids 529 or something lame?

[3184] Man. Well, not long, or right before the NFL season started, my AC went out, so we just replaced that.

[3185] So that was always in my mind as I was picking games.

[3186] I was like, I can help pay off this AC record.

[3187] It's always fun.

[3188] So that is really lame.

[3189] But we're going to travel too.

[3190] I didn't get any TV.

[3191] I did look at TVs the other day for the first time, probably 10 years.

[3192] TVs just aren't a thing you buy anymore.

[3193] Used to is like, I want to get the next one.

[3194] It's a badass.

[3195] They're all cheap and fairly cheap now too.

[3196] They're not expanding or they're not getting different.

[3197] They all seem the same.

[3198] Yeah, I've had the same TV since I think it was Black Friday of 2019.

[3199] And the TV that I replaced that with, I still have in a house.

[3200] I mean, it works just fine.

[3201] It did used to be you would hear about like the new, even you talking about the CES thing the other day, you would hear about like what the new thing in TVs was going to be.

[3202] And they would release like right before the Super Bowl or something.

[3203] When we used to be a proper country.

[3204] Yeah.

[3205] It's been bothering me all weekend because I watched some high school basketball.

[3206] There's a stat during the Argyle game on Friday that's just been staying in my head, and it was one of the girls, 90 % of her points have come off offensive rebounds, and I just wanted to follow up on it.

[3207] It was just a wild, how many points does she have?

[3208] If she only had 10 points the whole year, I guess that would make sense, but is she a big scorer?

[3209] Do you remember that stat?

[3210] Yeah, she only got the ball in the paint, so typically off a missed shot, she'd get the rebound and put it back in.

[3211] She was never getting post -touches or anything like that.

[3212] It's on her own miss shot, too, a lot, I imagine.

[3213] There's some of that, yeah.

[3214] It's still a hilarious statistic.

[3215] For sure.

[3216] It's stood out for sure.

[3217] It doesn't seem possible.

[3218] Again, like he said, unless you have five points on the season, and it was like, well, four of them were.

[3219] It's a very weird stat.

[3220] No, Huddle keeps stats like that, and it's surprisingly accurate.

[3221] But, yeah, she just did nothing but gather rebounds and putbacks.

[3222] It's awesome.

[3223] Andy was trying to force in some new stats with you guys.

[3224] Yeah.

[3225] She leads in will to win recovering loose balls or something.

[3226] Yep.

[3227] I think you told him he'd workshop it.

[3228] I guess I didn't hear the ending, but did they finish higher than 80 % at free throw?

[3229] Oh, that's right.

[3230] Their first loss.

[3231] They were like 4 -0 during that?

[3232] No, just in every one of their losses, they had shot under 70 % from the line.

[3233] Not anymore.

[3234] No. Not anymore.

[3235] What happened to the boys?

[3236] Did they get routed?

[3237] I didn't see that.

[3238] Had a lot of problems.

[3239] The other game was a little closer.

[3240] Yeah, the other game was exciting.

[3241] Didn't the boys only score?

[3242] Just like 16 points or something.

[3243] Yeah, like 18.

[3244] How'd the coach's kid do?

[3245] Yeah.

[3246] He did okay.

[3247] It was a dark day.

[3248] You guys got any transfers or perhaps transitions coming up for next season?

[3249] So you guys are closing remarks.

[3250] Hit the transition portal.

[3251] Argyle basketball.

[3252] And TVs.

[3253] Here, grab your check.

[3254] Oh, yeah, you got a big check.

[3255] Oh, a big check?

[3256] Want to get a picture?

[3257] Yeah.

[3258] Right now?

[3259] Look at that.

[3260] $16 ,420 .69.

[3261] That's sweet.

[3262] Look at that.

[3263] Wow, right there in front of Chisholm Trail, too, folks.

[3264] Incredible.

[3265] Awesome.

[3266] There's one thing that I got for y 'all that's not arriving until tomorrow, and it's my favorite thing.

[3267] But I do have something else, so I'll ship that other thing.

[3268] The arriving tomorrow guy.

[3269] Yeah.

[3270] I know it will.

[3271] We'll never see this item.

[3272] It'll be with y 'all this week.

[3273] There was another thing in Denton.

[3274] I live in Denton area.

[3275] There's a store on the square.

[3276] that it's called a mini mall.

[3277] It's been there forever.

[3278] I'd hardly go in there, but if you walk by there, it's just swords everywhere.

[3279] And I swear to God, I almost got y 'all a sword, but I was picturing me walking up the street and doing Fox 4, so it's still maybe down the line.

[3280] But for now...

[3281] There's a sword spot on the wall.

[3282] For now, I got a Toronto FC Brandon Offrey.

[3283] Holy!

[3284] Nice!

[3285] That is awesome.

[3286] How'd you get that?

[3287] I just custom made it.

[3288] I tried Notre Dame.

[3289] Oh, you custom made it.

[3290] Sick.

[3291] Well, I just got the name put on the back, and I found his number.

[3292] Okay.

[3293] I tried Notre Dame one.

[3294] That seemed to be a little harder.

[3295] XL.

[3296] You're going to have to wear this.

[3297] All right.

[3298] Yeah, Dan got lucky.

[3299] We need to book him just to wear that.

[3300] Yeah.

[3301] For no other reason.

[3302] And then the other gift I got y 'all is similar to this, but I'll just let y 'all open it when it comes in.

[3303] It will come in.

[3304] Okay.

[3305] I did get y 'all one little thing.

[3306] I'll give it to you, Jake.

[3307] Okay.

[3308] I love Lucas, by the way.

[3309] Thank you.

[3310] Oh, you got Lucas?

[3311] Let's see.

[3312] This is a pendant, if you will.

[3313] Yeah, I think it might be a Christmas ornament, perhaps.

[3314] It is from Dearborn, Ohio.

[3315] Oh, it's a 9 -11 memorial?

[3316] And it is to make sure that no one forgets.

[3317] For some reason, they had Dearborn, Ohio.

[3318] Dearborn, Ohio, yeah.

[3319] Yeah, that popped up in my eBay when I was shopping for an autographed baseball for my wife.

[3320] Go on.

[3321] I don't know how that ends up in your eBay.

[3322] You may also like.

[3323] What did your wife want?

[3324] What are we talking here?

[3325] Oh, my wife's huge into baseball, especially Rangers.

[3326] Okay.

[3327] What were you getting her?

[3328] Well, I got her a bunch of them, but we've got Beltre.

[3329] We've got...

[3330] It got several belt rays.

[3331] Josh Sorbs signed a 23 World Series ball.

[3332] Who else did I get?

[3333] So would this be like the stereotypical thing if you're trying to slow things down, but if he were to accidentally say it out loud and he's like, all right, 5 -4 -3, two down, like roll over on the – like if he starts talking baseball to preserve and she just loses it.

[3334] Yeah, that gets her going.

[3335] It's like when I start talking about, you know, steel products.

[3336] My wife really likes the riding lawnmower.

[3337] Yeah.

[3338] They make good stuff.

[3339] Yeah.

[3340] So, yeah, that's odd.

[3341] I can't imagine a worse gift if I was to present my wife with an autographed baseball for her birthday.

[3342] Oh, no. My wife was over the moon.

[3343] Over the moon.

[3344] That's great.

[3345] Yeah.

[3346] I think it would be great.

[3347] Gifting a lot easier.

[3348] Yeah.

[3349] Yeah.

[3350] It's kind of like.

[3351] Cause I don't know what the hell she wants.

[3352] It's like a Pandora neck bracelet, but with cool stuff.

[3353] Yeah.

[3354] And you get to kind of enjoy it too.

[3355] Right.

[3356] Yeah.

[3357] Yeah.

[3358] We got a whole room in the house and put the base.

[3359] There's a, she had a custom made cabinet made that is shaped like a home plate that you put autographed baseballs in.

[3360] So that's all in her.

[3361] She big bobblehead collector.

[3362] So we got.

[3363] I had to put several bookcases together in order to display all her Bob, all her bobbleheads.

[3364] So it's, it's, she's, she's really into it.

[3365] She loves it.

[3366] And you know, it, it's cool buying, buying that stuff too.

[3367] So she'll be at our nine 11 softball tournament.

[3368] Sounds like I'm sure she will.

[3369] Yeah.

[3370] We got the, well, congrats boys.

[3371] Thanks guys.

[3372] Thanks.

[3373] Thanks for having us.

[3374] This has been fun.

[3375] Adios, mofo.
