The team dives into the bizarre tale of an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a motley crew of would-be revolutionaries, including a cannabis entrepreneur from America, find themselves in a fiasco that's more pajama party than political uprising. From jammed guns to clueless conspirators checking their phones, this coup d'état is more coup d'oh! But the absurdity doesn't stop there. The crew also chats with special guest Matt "Snotty" about his recent trip to Japan, where he navigates a society that values melons over protein and cash over cards. From the streets of Tokyo to the elusive Japanese baseball jersey, Matt's tales of travel are as enlightening as they are entertaining. And if you've ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes of organ donation, Matt's got insights that might make you think twice about where your parts could end up. It's an episode that's as bizarre as it is brilliant, proving once again that The Dumb Zone is where the extraordinary becomes the everyday.

The Dumb Zone 5-20-24

Hear the whole show by subscribing to our Patreon - Patreon.com/TheDumbZone Strap in for a wild ride through the absurd and the unexpected in this episode of The Dumb Zone. The team tackles the bizarre media circus surrounding the Tyson vs. Paul press conference, where the lines between serious journalism and surreal entertainment blur beyond recognition. From Christina's fluff question to fighters revealing their unknown "talents," to Tyson's not-so-subtle innuendo about Jake Paul's youthful dance moves, this press event is anything but conventional. As if that wasn't enough, the crew dissects the quirky dynamics of small-town speed traps and the perils of driving with cruise control. Dan's apple-throwing antics on the road to Possum Kingdom Lake lead to a hilarious exchange, proving that sometimes the journey is just as entertaining as the destination. Witness the media's awkward dance of "people are saying" and the laughable credentials of "Arlington Irving Media and Entertainment," as The Dumb Zone ponders the real questions: What makes a home turf, and can a podcast named after a zone of stupidity ever get serious press credentials? It's an episode that will leave you questioning the nature of fame, the value of a good question, and whether you should ever eat an apple while driving.
