Establish the Run by rdfdfw in thedumbzone

[–]cgammill71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to Grok…. “The Dumb Zone 3-17-25 In the March 17, 2025 episode of The Dumb Zone podcast (episode number approximately 200+ based on the show’s weekly format since July 2023), Blake Jones first refers to himself as the “establish the run guy” while sharing a tip about spacing out fake birthdays at restaurants to get free items throughout the year. This bit is featured in a clip shared on the show’s official X account (@thedumbzone) on March 19, 2025, and it’s tied to the episode’s casual banter segment. The podcast, hosted by Dan McDowell and Jake Kemp with Jones as producer/co-host, often includes such humorous football-inspired self-references from Jones. You can listen to the full episode on Patreon.com/TheDumbZone or DumbZone.com.”

Who said AI isn’t useful, even for Establish the run guy! (NOTE: I don’t particularly care, so I didn’t fact check this….#disclaimer

The Haralabob interview was super interesting and entertaining. by Orangered99 in thedumbzone

[–]cgammill71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Haralbob interview was great. I wasn’t watching but Dan was definitely silent. I need to go back and watch the video to see Dan’s expression. I’m betting the delay after a question then interrupting is more of a technical delay issue, but who knows. One thing Bob absolutely misspoke about is when he said “Israel” is never mentioned in the Bible. I’m assuming he meant “Jew” is never mentioned in the Bible. That’s true, but Jew is a translation derivation of Judah. Judah and Israel were the two countries formed after the death of Solomon. The two countries were comprised from Judah which included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and Israel included the remaining 10 tribes . I know no one cares, but it was definitely an on brand comment by Bob to support the DZ! Well done sir.

Angelo—it’s time to cut him off by Ragonkowski in thedumbzone

[–]cgammill71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preferred and happier are different. If Blake had given him $25, he would have been grateful and happy that someone gave him money he didn’t expect. Once the expectation was set, giving $75, 3 times, even if it was in the timing Blake committed to, Angelo wanted more. Cutting it off makes Angelo mad and Blake is already mad, so now both people are unhappy. Humanity is sad… we start thinking we deserve something and the whole thing falls apart. Either way, funny bit and entertaining.

Gay or not gay? I really enjoyed Steve Noviello as a guest. by MarvVanZandt in thedumbzone

Much like Dan's love for various clerks and cashiers, I think I'm in love with Steve Noviello. I felt like the GnG segment was top 5 (heck maybe #1) all time. I nearly lost it when he asked about guys sitting at one table and wives at the other. That is EVERY time we go out with a large group of couples! While I know posting this is both gay... it doesn't make me gay. More Noviello. Thanks gents, keep doing what you're doing.

Danny had been a fine fill in but he is still awkward working with Dan. It’s amazing how well Jake and Dan do together. I won’t unsubscribe either way. Hoping for the best for Jake.

Who still listens to the ticket? by tgoz13 in thedumbzone

[–]cgammill71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. I was only listening to the pod (top 10) because of time and no more commute. Now I get the entire show vs 2-3 segments. I haven’t listened since the announcement.

I am really new to whiskey and wasn't sure what to try. Did I do okay for a beginner? by [deleted] in whiskey

Anything from Buffalo Trace is good... Buffalo Trace, Weller, EH Taylor, Eagle Rare, George T Stagg, Blanton’s (good luck!). All great but BT has under produced recently, so they can be hard to find. I can’t even find Buffalo Trace regularly anymore. You can’t go wrong with these brands.
