Get ready for an episode of The Dumb Zone that hits all the right notes—literally. The team kicks things off with a live performance of their original song "Round Ball Rock," a catchy tune that’s bound to be stuck in your head. From there, Dan, Jake, and Blake dive into a whirlwind of topics that range from the hilarious to the heartfelt.

First up, they explore the quirks of North Richland Hills, Texas, from its local high schools to the nostalgia of water parks like NRH2O and Hawaiian Falls. The guys share personal anecdotes, including Dan's harrowing vet switch and Jake's eye exam adventures, complete with the charmingly upbeat receptionist who brightened his day with an "okie dokie, artichokey."

Special guest Chris joins the crew for a birthday celebration, complete with a custom Dumb Zone cake and some heartfelt (and hilarious) closing remarks. Chris shares his thoughts on everything from drone deliveries to the joy of neighborhood camaraderie.

In the news segment, the team covers a lightning-struck electrician, the latest polls on marijuana legalization and casino gambling in Texas, and the curious case of balloons terrorizing deer at Crawford Ranch. Plus, they discuss the bizarre Twitter feud between Trevor Bauer and Pitching Ninja, and the unfortunate incident involving LaMelo Ball and an 11-year-old fan.

Blake wraps things up with a review of "None of This Is True" by Lisa Jewell, sparking a lively discussion on the trope of the unreliable narrator in modern fiction.

It’s an episode packed with laughs, insights, and the kind of offbeat charm that makes The Dumb Zone a must-listen.
