the dumb Zone on Apple podcasts youcouldn't find it, yeah, or you
just couldn't find the video. No, we couldn't find the podcast. Maybe

You were just telling me during thebreak you you looked up dumb Zone on
Apple and couldn't find it. Iwas going on a walk with my dog
and I was trying to listen toyou guys. I was interested in the

(02:35):
one where you were at like somehousewives home. She paid for y'all to
come in, and you said yourhusband never heard of it. Her husband
was like, who are these guysthat you just hired to come sit in
my house with a whole bunch ofcords and equipment and talk? Sounds like
a marriage that's going really well?Did she do that because she saw Brace's
and his Searchester Bay? She didwalk with a yeah? What if someone?

(03:01):
What if like a woman like thathired you? And then you guys
are done and she's just kind oflooking at you and she's like, where's
the rest? I see you guyson Apple? What does that mean?
Okay? Keviny, I don't knowwhat do you think I have? That's
why I'm asking you so actually yougo to Patreon, turn the tables and

(03:24):
see what Dan would do patreon dotcom slash the dum zone. So the
other day it's the subject I was. I wanted to play you guys some
audio because I uncovered this or Blakedid. But we played this on our
program. In fact, it's onour latest video as well on the YouTube.
So, uh, do you guysremember when OJ confessed he had a

(03:52):
book coming out called If I DidIt? Yeah, yeah, and he
did that interview on Fox or whateverwhere he kind of explained how he did
it. Boy did an interview onFox. Perhaps he probably went on all
the big networks and all that,but for some reason, he was on
with Kate Delaney. Yeah, that'sthe one. Yeah, the sports princess.
Oh she's someone well yes, Soit was kind of like a cable

(04:15):
access show. It's very confusing,but it came out. We've you know,
figured out. It was the twothousand August two thousand and seven,
and in fact, on this showthey were talking about Barry Bonds about to
break Hank Aaron's home run record.So I don't know if you remember where

(04:36):
we were at that time, Mike, but I do because the day before
Barry Browns broke the record, Iwas on the phone with the guy who
would give him up, give upthe home run. And I was in
San Antonio driving around because we wereat Cowboys training camp. Yes, so
I was on the phone with MikeBassett the day before because I was in

(04:59):
San ane Antonio. No, less, I was in San Antonio. He
was in Washington or San Francisco.I don't know where. He probably San
Francisco. And uh, I wasimportant. Mike Bassick, former major league
baseball pitcher current, I guess oppositionto you on the radio or somewhere on
the on the dial against I don'tknow what time they are, but he's
against you, guys. Uh.There's a lot of Ranger TV, too,

(05:23):
does a lot of Ranger TV.So we're allowed to mention him,
probably, uh, And we couldsay whatever we want. Yes, let's
say what we want. He's onthe fan in middays. So okay,
Yeah, you used to work withhim, but I worked with him before
you did because he was our intern. He was a bad radio intern.
Were you the board up? Iwas okay. So Mike Bassick was a

(05:46):
major league a current major league pitcher. He wasn't even on Washington yet,
and uh, he wanted to internwith us in the off season. And
he really was like, Hey,I want you to treat me like any
other intern. So if it's alunch run, He's like, I'll go
to Chipotle for you, I'll gopick up food. Uh, just treat

(06:09):
me like any intern. I wantto learn how interns learned. So you
know, then we had to takehim on the casting couch. You know,
that's the way things were done backin those days. That's a different
time, good old day. Thingchanged. Yeah, he did the young
Rugio door. Yeah yeah, yeah, he was laughing and everything. But

(06:31):
so anyway, that's just a longway Jake. Jake should call again and
tell me to get to the point, because he'll do that to you a
lot. He tries to keep meon track. But if you get two
to the point, I waiver.Do you tell him to get to the
point. No, No, he'salways one hundred percent perfect. It's me
that needs correcting, and I getit. I don't know what I'm doing,

(06:56):
so uh, what I am tryingto lead you back to uk soap?
Oj Simpson, Yes, two thousandand seven is on this book.
Tour and he somehow is on withKate Delaney and yes, you probably have
heard, or maybe you haven't,but there were some prank phone calls that

(07:16):
came into Kate Delaney so on thisshow that he was on, and yeah,
that was the thing, is somekind of cable access thing. They
didn't have a delay. And asa matter of fact, I just found
this out this week because we weresearching for the best prank phone call we've
ever heard from a guy who usedto call the Ticket and prank Norm and

(07:39):
prank others. We called him Sweatyjen Olsen guy. Yeah, because he
called himself. I think Sweaty Jenelsenguy, right, which was jen Olsen
was a like Dallas sport Works sportscastersomething like that in the very very early
two thousands. And apparently this guythought she looked sweaty when she was on

(07:59):
TV. Didn't very nice? Didn'tshe do some Mavericks and stars I believe?
Well yeah, but anyway, uhSo at the time, TMZ played
like a montage of some callers theycalled OJ and we thought this was all
a one time thing. Well,just this week I found out because Blake

(08:22):
searched for this audio for me,I couldn't find sweaty jen Olsen guy.
So he went and searched for theaudio. He finds out OJ was on
four hours, four different nights.What with Kate Delane? Oh wow,
this wasn't just a one hour show. It's not just did you kill Bill
Walsh? So the first show theydid take some phone calls like this one

(08:46):
and now a market News first exclusive. OJ takes the stand. Here's Kate
Delaney. Okay, Kevin's great.Hello everyone, I have a stand.
We're best. This is so it'svery very bad technically, Like I said,
it's this is cable access. Itseems like they just started the station

(09:09):
two days prior. Hey, TwitterWorld, they have so many technical difficulties
all that kind of stuff. Soyeah, it turns out OJ is kind
of bringing it back from breaks.Oh god, this is the first show
something like that. Everyone stand,this is live. I think we are
back. I have no idea.Hi, everybody, we're back and we're
gonna take phone calls. Eight sixtysix four for one. Two two guys,

(09:31):
let's go to Kevin. I believein New Jersey. Kevin, what's
your question for OJ? Kevin?What's your question for OJ? Hi,
good show you. My kick Chriswas wondering, do you think it was
a bigger feat to break two thousandyards in one season or slice two necks
in one night. I'm having alittle trouble Kevin hearing you. I all

(09:58):
right, I think we he wasasking about your he was asking about your
records. I could hear. Shecouldn't hear either. I've never heard the
long form. I just hurt splicedinto the next call, having to try
to explain to him. Yeah,it was about the good Yeah, that's
what I've I had always heard thattoo before Lake found like the full Wow.

(10:18):
So I've got four hours of videoof Kate Delaney and OJ and yeah,
you get to hear so in betweenit. So she would just do
the oh, he was asking aboutyour records, and then you'd go huad
and talk about the rushing for twothousand yards. Let's go to call too.
I was the first guy to goover two thousand yards. He's talking
about it any more, guys doingit, but I was still the first,

(10:41):
so that's special. But I wouldsay those two team accomplishments were the
things that I liked the most.All right, Alex is listening to us
in Ohio. Hey, Alex,yeah, Hey Alex, Hey, are
you doing not good? Can youhear me? Yes? I can hear
you, buddy. Yeah. Arewhen you played for the Yeah? Yeah,

(11:01):
did you kill I'll tell you.I believe Bill walshould just recently die.
I believe so. Yeah, Andthat's why that's why that was the
question. I like the hook therewhen you played for the forty nine ers.
I yeah, Bill Walsh died Julythirtieth, two thousand and seven.

(11:22):
Oh okay, times out pretty well, the best part about that one is
that caller was trying to take awaythe pausible deniability that he used on the
one before or he said I'm havingtrouble hearing you. He's like, juice,
can you hear me? Made sureI got you good? Okay,
here it comes. Well, that'snothing like sweaty Jenilsen guy. And we
found out he didn't even call inuntil day three. And I don't know

(11:45):
why. It must be because we'reall like horning on the Cowboys. We're
at training camp. Bast's gonna giveup the home run, like all these
other things are happening. This totallyescaped me, Like why was night in
my hotel online recording this, watchingit whatever, Like I didn't know what
was happening. So I think thatwas a big failure on my part to

(12:09):
not discover it until what fourteen yearslater, fifteen sixty seven, it was
long. I can't do math,seventeen. It was two thousand and so
everybody loves you anyway, mister Dan. All right, yeah, man,
thanks, oh thanks guys. Sowe did finally find in day three.
So they were taking calls, Yes, lots of pranks, crazy stuff.

(12:31):
It's OJ talking about the book andstuff, and he gave his opinion on
Barry Bond's steroids and everything. Hewas just being It was kind of pre
what OJ does or did rip onTwitter, Like, he's just got opinions
on anything. He's got opinions onthe Supreme Court, he's got opinions on

(12:54):
his fantasy. He just needed aforum and a captive audience. That is
wild. But there was like anOJ Verie show and none of us knew
about it in real time. Yeah, So I hope I have this queued
up correctly. I probably don't beembarrassing if you don't. Yeah, but
I'll just move on to the nextone. If I don't so. I
think this is the call we've beenwaiting for. All right, let's move

(13:15):
to some calls. OJ Tye islistening to us in Texas. High tie.
Hi, great to be with y'all. This is a real honor.
I just wanted to tell her.I think oj biggest fan in the world.
Here's I have a good reason whyit was. I was about six
years old. Real quick story,nineteen seventy dres and the Magical Season.

(13:37):
Give me. I'm a little nervous. My mom and I are are on
the sidelines and it's before the gamestuff, and were warming up and she
was trying to get my football signedby it and she yelled juice, and
I saw you coming over, butI got distracted like little kids too,

(13:58):
and I turned around and not all, only did you find her football,
but you had lanced my mother inthe thigh and neck with a pitchfork.
And winded story made it so muchbetter. That was his bit at the
time. Every time he would callinto a show, he would say that

(14:22):
someone got their neck lanced with thepitchfork. I think it's called coach Joe.
Yeah, Coach Joe Diallo Birt's lanced. I love the word lance.
Yeah, okay, different, Yeah, that was guy. Yeah, let's
hear. Let's hear. How oG. Not only did you find her

(14:45):
football, but you had lanced mymother in the side and neck with a
pitchfork and signed it. Oh thereyou go is leading up to something act.
It's just amazing that the thing thatwe do here. I found it
curious the other day when the guycalled about the two thousand yards or murdering
two people, and the media madesuch a big deal about that. You

(15:09):
know, I listened to guy andand uh, there's a guy in Miami
that I listen to every morning.He's he's a number one drive time die
They he has to turn off aboutabout a third of his callers. And
all of these call in shows theygot a seven second delay, and probably
up to forty percent of their callersthey have to turn out off for saying
stupid things like this. Right now, we don't have a second second suthing

(15:33):
right, so we have to dealwith some of these people. And then
the media runs as if this issomething unusual, you know, but this
is this is this is part ofof call in radio, right and this
is part of Internet TV. Whywe say some free forms of the lack
of regulation as if it's weird.Wow, it's interesting, and he's and
he's saying though that hiss. Youknow, the guy in Miami, he

(15:54):
gets these kind of calls too.It's not because I killed people, it's
just because that's just right, youknow. Yeah, this is just the
world we live in. So interesting, interesting theme for the OJ calls.
But yeah, everybody gets the samekind of thing. Yeah, but that's
the that's the kind of stuff thatwe do on our little failed podcast that

(16:15):
I think that's fantastic. We're tryingto get off to give y'all listen patreon
dot com slash the dumb Zone.That's how you can find it when eventually,
whenever, whenever Blake gets it together. We also break down the draft.
Do you like no one else can? Yeah, y'all don't come to
laugh a little bit. Yeah,how's the you're new you're out of the

(16:41):
dragon den right? Or do youstill do some broadcasting there? We do
broadcasting there because sometimes people pay usto sit in, to sit in at
your own house. Week Yeah,join us in. They want to sit
in. That's unstable and I loveit. We call it the six ninety
sit in that. That's how muchthey pay. Uh huh, all right,

(17:02):
and how often does that come aroundmonetization? Uh? Once or twice
a week. It's at least oncea week. Now that we have another
studio we're attempting to move into indowntown Dallas where okay, things are happening.
Take over your studio, sure,because I love all the pictures in
your studio. Yeah, there's lotsof picks there. Yeah, we have

(17:22):
no pictures. There's a lot goingon. You can have some of our
picks if you will. I wouldlike some of your picks, especially the
one of the egg plant pick.Yeah. Yeah, well hey, thanks,
oh thanks for helping me promote andhelping me get more subscriptions than Jake

(17:45):
got when he was on the Freak. I don't know if you were taking
that seriously, because when I askedyou to tell the people how to subscribe,
you said, I don't know.Oh, And I really wanted to
thought I kind of slipped that inthere. I really wanted that's what he
said, you get. I reallywanted to you get more subscriptions than Jake
I was teamed in in this game. I hope they show up later because

(18:07):
there's no difference from the number thatwas when you sat down. Oh damn
it, Patreon dot com slash thedumbson there? It is, yeah,
Patreon dot com slash this or Apple. But apparently you're telling me you can't
find us on Apple podcast. Maybeit was operator error. Who knows,
I'll try. Are you drinking inthe morning again? Yes? Every morning?

(18:29):
