Starting point is 00:00:05 All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. We're back. Yeah, that's right. There's a Thursday show, but you didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Circling back. My name is David. Welcome. Big show ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, a quick shout out. I call this segment, quick shout out segment.
Starting point is 00:00:37 People in the subreddit are being funny right now. It's been a fun. a fun day in the office reading through some comments. They're like four posts today. It's pretty good. Enjoy it when it lasts. The tide will turn. Sometimes they just like to bitch and moan, which is fine too,
Starting point is 00:00:55 but sometimes they're actually fun, and this is one of those fun times. You post a video of me? Bitch. I told you not to post one of them. Well, it's already up. Sorry. I'm going to watch it real quick. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:01:07 It's not. I just did the one of you entering the studio with 20 seconds ago until we went live. Randall Trebaki producing. Hi, Dave. I got a question. I think it's maybe the biggest question that we've ever asked ever. Got it. Dylan,
Starting point is 00:01:24 what's your fucking deal? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this about? I drive in this morning and Dylan unrolls his window and flips me off. I unrolled my window. Yeah, he has an old one. He unrolled it down and flips me off for a minute straight on the highway. I'll tell you why.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Because this is like the 10th time you've been right behind me coming up Lamar. And you never know that it's me. I'm always like waving and like I get no action from you. You're just like in La La Land. So finally, like, fuck it. I'm going to put my middle finger out the window and that's what I did. I got your attention. I'm paying attention to the road.
Starting point is 00:02:03 And it took me like a good five seconds being like, did I cut this guy off? Like what had happened? And I'm like, oh, wait, that's Dylan in front of me. It's just my awesome friend, Dylan. Yeah. That's what you figured out. out. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:15 What's he supposed to do? Like, yeah, I saw you on the road. It's not like in high school where you're like, well, I'm waving. I'm like caravan. We're at a light. I'm waving at him and he there's nothing. When you set this to the group, I didn't even notice the finger.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Because the other photo that I took, it lines perfectly with a telephone pole. Oh, that's a better one. So this is better. But it's kind of blurry. But yeah, he was just like that for a minute straight. Hey, if you post that to circling back, make sure you blur his lights, lights, plates. Yeah. The whole thing is blurry.
Starting point is 00:02:44 I don't want people dachs in me. Don't look them up because then you could look the person up. Don't docks me. I don't care if you see my license plate, really. It's all public record. What are they going to do with it? Like, oh, this guy has a clean record. He issued a Freedom of Information Act request.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Could take up to six months. What's your deal? Just pushing the G.C. through South Austin is all I'm doing. Grand Cherokee. Okay. Yeah. No, I know. I'm making sure that you go the same way I go. It checks out. Dude, that ramp from 290 to Lamar is one of my favorite exits in all of Austin. It's a really good ramp to the worst intersection in maybe America.
Starting point is 00:03:30 True. It's not the worst intersection. It's a complicated intersection. Once you go there enough. It's a bad one. People have trouble. People do struggle, but not me. If you roll up to it the first time, you're like, what's going out? Yeah. And I honestly, I used to get frustrated. Now I'm like, you know what? If you're from out of town, this is confusing. Good luck. Good luck not getting T-boned.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Exactly. He goes by T-bone. Sometimes. No, that's my brother. Our T-bone. No, I'm doing it. I fucking hate this. I'm going to take a while.
Starting point is 00:04:04 People on Reddit are liking it. Take a laugh. I'm going to go for a walk. Dude, take a laugh. I'll be back. Take a lap was a funny comment in the T-FM comment section. Anytime, you know. swap the deck
Starting point is 00:04:16 disagreed with them or thought they were being a boner walk the blank walk the blank did I ensure you what do you yeah yeah yeah but you haven't introed me well you started talking early I got something ladies and gentlemen
Starting point is 00:04:30 a man who needs no introduction but he's earned the right to get one he's a guy who used to blog under the name Roger Dorn he went to Anderson high school in Austin Texas shout to my Trojans he spent some time at Southwest West Texas University, then Texas State University, and then finished his degree at St. Mary's.
Starting point is 00:04:49 St. Edwards. St. Edwards in Austin, Texas. He has a mustache. He has a child named Parks. He- These are all true. Now resides in Austin, Texas. He's wearing a hoodie and a hat. Ladies and gentlemen, a man who is known commonly is Dylan Shivery.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Dave recently went on a snack run. And he entered a new little pro. protein. I'm not even going to call it a bar. What do you call those things? Feels like a protein bar. Yeah. It's not like a typical. Anyway, they're really good. Are you talking about the breakfast ones? Yeah, the breakfast bar. The breakfast bar. The breakfast bar one. Oh, yeah. It's not really. I wouldn't say bar. It's more of like a...
Starting point is 00:05:30 But they're really good. And I know that you really liked them because you eat one every day. And that's fine. Like, that's fine. You get them every day. Yesterday, there was one left. I dug through the box. I just one left. I want this in the morning. Not the first time. Here's what I did. I want this in the morning, but I know Dave's going to want it too. So I kind of buried it under the pile of snacks in that box. Buried treasure. There are pretzels in there. You know me like a book.
Starting point is 00:05:55 And a bunch of other protein bars that no one's really gotten started on yet, some other things. And so I kind of put it in the corner and put some other shit on top of it. Dave walks in the office this morning. Five seconds later, that thing's on his desk already. You went right to it. You wasted no time at all. And so he got to eat it and I didn't. Why didn't you just hide it somewhere else and not in the snack box?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Because I wanted to be fair about it. I could have put it in the cabinet and he would never would have found it, but that's not, that's not playing fair. So you were hiding that for yourself. Yeah, I wanted to eat. I wanted it at about 10 o'clock. But again, a minute after he walked in the door, he was already stuffing that thing down his goal at.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Hungry. So, well played, sir. Yeah, I needed it. Well played. I had kind of a, I just kind of had like a whatever day. at the gym just kind of like you really don't really have much on the agenda you should need to go in there get the heart rate up just kind of fuck around the air bike a freeball you freeballed it you push the sled push the sled a little bit oh it's a big sled guy I love a sled dude sled's dope I feel like a
Starting point is 00:07:00 dork using it how much weight you putting on that that I don't ever touch it whatever whatever's on it I just use so I don't ever take any off I don't ever put any other done one of those uh and then I then I hit the sauna and everybody was on their best best behavior. Oh, that's nice. Those stories for us from the Sonda this time? No, no, no. I'm no sauna Karen.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Any baddies in there? Any baddies? Yeah. Uh, no, it's a relatively ugo group. Good. Including myself. Just a bunch of ugos.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I might have been the baddest bitch in there. Okay. No, it was, you know, it's fine. I was updating something here. Oh. So listener voicemails will drop on Patreon tomorrow. Shout to all my Patreon pigs out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 You know who you are. Shout out to the pay pigs. That's a really funny development on the Reddit. I know. Yeah. It was a nice little gas up this morning reading that. The best comment on that one was the post for people that don't know is someone saying they want to pay like $15, $20 on Patreon just to help out and pay. pig. The best comment was found Brett's burner, which makes you just think that how funny
Starting point is 00:08:20 that'd be a Brett was just doing a sci app. That's how he's developing business. There's another comment in there to someone suggested we add a tier called two steps forward and Will hops on twice a month for a bonus more expensive tier. Two ships forward please. That's funny. Yeah. We love our patrons. We do. And we love it more than just a regular listener. Yeah. Unless that regular listener is a regular listener because of economic hardship. In which case, we got love to. A guy sent me about a thousand word email last week saying he canceled his Patreon and he explained in a thousand words why he did so and said he likes the more planned out thoughtful content like touching based the conspiracy one.
Starting point is 00:09:15 He said he liked that one a lot. Also liked Rainy's game show a lot. I said, thanks for the feedback, sir. We'll consider that. Well, dude, he's going to love the year 2030 when that game shows back. Shut up. Randy, I wouldn't hate to see it back on Patreon. I'm just saying I wouldn't hate it.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I had fun doing it. I was really bad at the game, but it was fun, competing and being embarrassed. Man, I think most of people like the free nature of the Patreon. on. I mean, it's not like anything, you know what I mean? Like the more like, I feel like what people like about the show is like when we just kind of do random shit, like go off the beaten path. I think the majority would agree with that or go off beaten. Yeah. That's interesting that guy's take. Yeah, Patreon's where you get the most fan interaction to or we're going to answer your questions. That's another nice perk. That's big old facts from Randy.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Big facts. Big facts. Oh, newsletter will come out to Tomorrow, if you go sign up at wash.substack.com, it'll be in your inbox at about, oh, I don't know. Doesn't matter what time, probably before you get into the office unless you get in like super early. Super early. You got to be, you got to get up pretty early to beat us. Yep. So check it out. And then, yeah, we did exactly five on Patreon on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Last week, we did cold calls. Both have been great. Those are our first two. It's cold. And of the month, we've got a theme wait. It'll be that Tuesday. It'll drop. It'll be house party weekend.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Let me tell you, I've got three or four that hit my inbox in the last 24 hours. I got to check. That's going to be a gas episode. It's going to be a big. And you know what? What always happens, we always get a surplus. And we're always like, well, we could do another one of these. So if it delivers, we'll put it in the bucket of we've got to do another one of these.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That works with everybody. What's up, Randy? What are you looking at? The chat. Someone asked for the address of the internet. intersection and now people are looking it up on Google Maps and seeing how bad it is for themselves. It's not even that it's like super crowded or anything. It's just the way it's set up is it's confusing if you are, if the first time you're going to get to it, you will be confused.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Two northbound lanes merge at an intersection divided by a median. And so you have cars from the far left lane making a left turn across multiple lane. It's hard to explain. You have to look at it. 4,000, 4,000 South Lamar, Austin, Texas. Go look it up. Okay. On the same traffic light setup, you have lights that apply to one, like specifically to one lane and then a light that applies specifically to two lanes on the other side. And you get that they always run differently because there's a left turn in front of the one of the merging lanes on the left. And what always will happen is the cars in front of you, when they see the other cars get the green light, they'll let off their brake a little bit.
Starting point is 00:12:11 And you're always like, oh, and then they realize, oh, that's not for me. And if you choose the wrong lane, which happens a lot, you're totally screwed. Yeah. Unless some kind fellow lets you over, let you in. Also that Brody Oaks Park, that that's where Pinet House is and Rock Golf. I don't even Rock Golf is there anymore. That's about to become like a whole development. and that's going to make it even more of a nightmare when that becomes a domain south or whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It's kind of confusing explained. Let's just say that there is a ramp to, and it's a north southbound road and there's a ramp to an east and westbound highway that's in the middle of the intersection. It's not like off to the right or to the left. It's in the middle. Yeah. It's a lane in the middle of the whole intersection could go to a ramp that goes west and all you're talking about coming from the other way.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I'm talking about either way. Yeah, yeah. That other way is a whole other store. There's a southbound on ramp at that same intersection, which makes that even weirder is that the green light, you can't see that it's green until you're right up on. Why haven't they fixed that? I don't know. And also, yeah, if you're driving home at 4 or 4.30, the sun, especially in the winter,
Starting point is 00:13:18 is in a position to where you really don't know. And if you don't know that area, you're probably creeping up to that light, like unsure if it's even working. It's a thing, dude. It's a high alert intersection. Yeah, just go try. Check it out on Google Street View and just be like, what is going on here? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:13:36 What's going on? Sorry. What was that? What was that? I don't know, man. Is that Dickie V? I think I'm high or something. Seriously, what was that?
Starting point is 00:13:46 I don't fucking know, David. Was it Dickie V? Would you leave me alone? Dickie Know it all's. Just leave me alone. I can't do the rest of the show until you tell me what you're trying to do. What's going on? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:57 I don't know what that's from. It was Dickie V. Seinfeld? Maybe it was Dickie V. It seems like it was Dickie V. Seinfeld. What's going on, baby? And Slifeld. Callab. Hey, you guys.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Okay, I got a good frame of this intersection right here. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I'm looking at it, but whatever. It's interesting. It's interesting. That's what she said. 4,000 song are. Go check it out.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Close to the Red Lobster and the Olive Garden that we've been to. And my house. Yeah. Man, all I know is when I pull up to that intersection, I'm probably rocking some poncha. Because if I'm going to get into some fuckery at that intersection, if I'm going to have to watch some people just absolutely lose it, I better be rocking something cool, something comfortable,
Starting point is 00:14:47 and something that looks dope. Poncho checks all those boxes, the denim, the flannel. What more can I say? Well, I could say a lot. It's a shirt that you're going to wear it. You're going to wear it so much that you're going to question, like, am I overdoing it? you're not you can even like what i like about the the poncho pearl snap button down that i've got
Starting point is 00:15:10 i like that like sometimes i'll wear like buttoned up you know like i'm like i did my family portraits okay but also i could like leave it on button with like a cool shirt under it i'm like hey i'm layered guy you looked hella cute in those picks in the family picks yep yeah i didn't want to say it but i stole the show the rest of the fan was not on their game people were like damn dave you look great especially your hair. No, I did. It's not even Photoshop. I did rock my denim.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I did rock my denim, dude. They're so great. The flannels are great. Now, a lot of flannels are bulky and stiff. Your nickname in college? Because you were lifting a lot of weights back then. Yep. But the poncho flannel, not like that.
Starting point is 00:15:55 It's just comfortable. Yeah. It feels like you feel like you can move around in it. They'll set you off with some warm weather clothes. too. They got their button down.

Let them know. man i've got a real i've got a real conundrum this evening okay this is i'm going off the running oh real conundrum time dave has a conundrum time stamp that so it's my last day with uh lillus gets in town tonight like nine o'clock 10 o'clock tonight i'm sure she didn't have any choice she had to get back after bedtime i'm sure it's just a coincidence uh no we're playing but swim lessons at lifetime for my oldest, my five-year-old, soon-to-be-five-year-old. And I don't know if I want to go because I could have bring Sammy, my baby, my two-year-old, and it's just going to be a fucking beating.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I don't know how to make this work where I bring them both to the indoor pool at Lifetime. And I hold, and Sammy's just, he's two. He's not going to just hang out. He's going to want to, he's either going to want to go in the water. it's just I'm like sitting here like bring the trunks get them in the water do you I don't want to get in the water why not
Starting point is 00:17:40 I don't know it's I don't like being in I don't because here's why all so all the parents they sit there's like these two rows of chairs that face the indoor pool and there's like a shallow part of the pool where like they don't do the lessons of the back half or like the lanes are and they're all like you the parents sit there usually look at their phones read a book listen to a pod
Starting point is 00:18:00 and but like if I'm in the shallow end of the pool with the baby i'm like right there in like the front of this row of parents and it's just like i feel like i'm on display and it's not just me there's there's some other parents in there but i just don't really want to deal with it you'll be the cute dad who's like pulling double time and you know and taking the the little one along with you yeah yeah you're right is he too young to go in the sauna with me what about the cold punch yeah hot top he will not enjoy uh i don't think kids can you bring a two year old in the cold punch? No.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Teach him Resilience? No. He will not enjoy the cold plunge. He will not enjoy the cold plunge. He's fucking woke. Bring him the hot tub.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Can't bring my kid into the fucking sauna? Bring him into the snow shower. You can't do the hot tub. Yeah. If a guy can bring beef jerky in sauna, I can't bring a two-year-old. Not saying for a full 30,
Starting point is 00:18:51 20, maybe two minutes. Just let them see. Look, this is what it's like. This is what it would be like if we didn't have AC living in Austin. Just let them know. Like, hey, your daddy works hard.
Starting point is 00:19:03 mom does too this is what life would be like they have like a 16 like a there's an age minimum for the hot tub no yeah you're right it was it was 15 for us i think why is that i can't i can't like a 10 year old just go chill in a hot tub i think because they probably peepie do what you do go right to the jet and turn around what are you doing i've never done that uh it's like sir can you remove that Since that dude in, what's that, what's that movie? Final destination where he got sucked through the drain in the pool. Yeah. And it spat out all of his fucking guts.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah. What the fuck was that? Oh, no. What are we doing? You ever been sucked through the drain at the pool, Randall? Just shredded him. No, but there are smaller bodies overheat much faster than adults. They need a risk of heat stroke, dehydration, and burns, apparently.
Starting point is 00:20:00 There you go. According. Fine. I guess he'll go to the regular pool. So I guess we're not, I guess we're not allowing kids under five to enjoy wellness. Our, uh, we had a neighborhood pool. And at the end of the year,
Starting point is 00:20:14 we always had an end of year party. And they always turned down the hot tub a little bit so that, like all the kids can go in it. So I want to be the normal temperature, but still be really warm. But it was like, ooh, it was a fun thing for us to get to do.
Starting point is 00:20:25 So, uh, dude, the classic thing when you're a kid, I feel like, miss is mainly like in high school, too. Like, any friends that had parents had like a pool with a hot tub the chances of the hot like the hot tub
Starting point is 00:20:38 actually being like working at like a working hot tub was about i'd say 40% oh yeah or that or the parents were always just like i don't want to do it and they would lie but oh yeah it's not working like the ignition thing's not on like hot tub never worked yeah imagine if you have a hot tub and like roads and his friends are over and you're like oh god take the cover off and I got a good guy. Yeah, I totally get it. Imagine if you had a hot tub and Sonos speaker system at the same time, nothing's working. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Forget about it. You stay inside. No. My buddy had one. We went and got in it and it. Turns out it wasn't your ordinary hot tub. This here, a hot tub was a time machine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Oh, okay. Yeah. So you got in the hot tub and you could travel to different times? Mm-hmm. Where'd you go? I don't really remember because I saw, it was a long time ago. I only saw that movie once. So I don't really remember the plot.
Starting point is 00:21:34 It was the 80s. They went back to the 80s. We went back to the 80s. They all had all the 80s ski gear, which was elite. Yeah, we were like, yeah, it was elite. I remember that. Neon shit and like full suit. Yep, that was it.
Starting point is 00:21:45 We did that. There was some love interest. You like the ski bunnies. Yeah. They didn't even know what a snowboard was. Going to the terrain park. Yeah. I was people were making fun of me because I was pizzaing.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And they were like, oh, you played your Zocard. And I was like, y'all, you played your Zocard. And I was like, y'all know, about that shit in the 80s? That all happened? Yeah, and there's probably some other stuff on leaving out, because again, I don't remember the plot of that movie. I think poison performed.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Or maybe it was like White Snake. It was one of those two. Okay. Maybe Warrant. I saw Warrant at Gordo's and Sam Marcus. I don't know who Warrant is. Me and Clayton Wheat went. Cherry Pie?
Starting point is 00:22:23 That's a true story. Do you remember Warrant? No. She's my cherry pie. Oh, okay. They were playing Gordoes on the square on like a Thursday. And I was so random. And we was like, let's go.
Starting point is 00:22:33 So me and him just went, he put on a nylon track suit. Keep in mind, like, this wasn't like a well-attended concert. So we just went and like, just like, yep, here we are at Warrant. Deepest voice on any human ever. Clayton Wheat. Oh, yeah. Great white buffalo. What'd you said?
Starting point is 00:22:50 Great white buffalo. It's from a hot tub time machine. Great Y was a different. John Cusack, right? What are we? Like, I don't really think of him as a compliment. comedy guy. Oh, he could be funny.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Yeah. You don't think the Q's has comedy? I just don't think of it as a comedy actor. Where everyone else in that in that movie is a comedy actor. More of a Joan Q's that guy myself. Oh. Not, not really. I mean, she's fine.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yeah. She's fine. John and Joan. That ends the end of that. That ends that is what I meant. So what are you going to do with your kid? You're going to bring in the pool? I just like jingles some keys in front of me.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I don't know. I texted Alyssa that and then she immediately called me. And she goes, oh, you're probably recording. Just call me after her. I don't know what that means. So she's going to maybe suggest somebody can watch Sammy. Maybe I could just suck it up and bring the kid. Tell her just hop in the chat if she wants to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:23:45 I think she's actually working. She said Charlotte's cool. Said it reminds her a lot of Austin. Never been. I hear it's a nice place. Got a lot of backers there. Were they on the short list for our meetup donation contest? I think they were.
Starting point is 00:24:03 That sounds right. You got a lot of listeners out that way. Shout out to all our Charlotte people. We chose the much more expensive place, New York City. Yeah. We didn't. We didn't choose it. We didn't choose it.
Starting point is 00:24:14 No, it chose us. The backers. Well, Seattle. It was a thing. One of these days we'll get up to the Pacific Northwest. That's a big hole in my resume. Seattle's dope, dude. I've never done it, did.
Starting point is 00:24:24 When did you go to Seattle? In 2015. Four? Vacation. Wasn't a grand extrope? Nope. What vacation, went with Dallas. We had a great time.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Confusing statement. Yeah. Dallas is the name of Parks' mother, my ex-wife, Dallas. Yeah, I'd like to go. I think I would really like to go. I just went. You just went. That's not right.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It wasn't 2015 because Parks was born in February of 2015. I don't know. It was somewhere around there. That's a good segue into our next talking point here.

And that's what we're living in currently.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I've seen multiple memes from the past was like a roller coaster was like 2016 and then like the rest of our lives. It's just like a downhill project. This morning, an old friend of the show and my former co-host on dudes doing business, Joe Nullet posted an Instagram for the first time on a while. It's a 2016 good year or something. And I didn't even pick up on that he was doing this thing. And it was just a series of picks from 2016.
Starting point is 00:27:25 What was so dope about that year on like a global land? landscape like what was happening i think harrombay oh was harrombay dope you think it's dope to kill garrillas but that you're fortunate demise of harrombie i saw someone recently do a reel that if the bears win the super bowl it'll reset the uh warlock fuckery that they did have the cubs win this world series in 2016 where's the warlock fuckery you know they they did some dark magic for the cubs to finally win the world series who's they it's the piece the power that be, man. The Illuminati? And the Pope had to get involved. That's why we got a Pope from Chicago. That's what this person was saying. It was a, but he's a South Sider, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:06 But that's why he had to get like the Bears to win because those Northsiders, man. That's who they are, those Northside warlocks. So now you know. Boy, I'm more confused than I was before I started the segment. Yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on. I always say that I think 2016 people liked it because so many people were out and about in that I felt like was because of Pokemon Go. Like the parks were packed Everyone was outside doing stuff And I just feel like more people were happy Being out in a body
Starting point is 00:28:32 Okay You're talking like everyone was doing It was huge Like you were the only person I knew You were like the only one that weren't Like you would go to a park And that was more that I would see people outside Than ever in my life
Starting point is 00:28:44 That summer was pretty wild Were people like chasing them off cliffs And dying and shit? That's how much people are doing it It's not funny But I think it happened I think a couple of cases Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:55 A couple dumbs Depends on how old they were. There's a Charzar now. And they're dead. You know, I don't think you get Charzars back. They were left a little bit later. Shut up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Why'd you sound like our accountant right there. He sounded like Blaine right there. That's what I always think is just that. Blaine's getting a lot of run on these episodes. I know, dude. Shout out to Blaine. He's just out there in New Boot Goof. You know he's listening too.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah, man. We started this show. No way. When did we start touching bass? 2019 oh touching base 2016 yeah you're right maybe that is where things went downhill March 2016 I think we need to do a post
Starting point is 00:29:37 of all 2016 I got on CB we could do like a find some old picks I got I got a dope picture on the cruise with a little dicky I could post Will's in it all squads in it so this is going to be where we try to do a post and Dylan's like hang on before you posting those kind of see it because i see where you're going to post he's like
Starting point is 00:29:57 can't not posting this one oh shut up dude man my head looks huge in this one or whatever the fuck i'm gonna find that pick it's pretty dope it's a good pick trying to think like 2016 music-wise too because that's when i was jane smokers i graduated college so i think mobamba didn't come out on i think until 2017 but you had justin bieber's album like too late to say sorry and you know all that fettie wop was still going pretty hard Fettywap just got out. Did he?
Starting point is 00:30:27 He did. For those tracking. That's our, that's a new segment. It's called, what's going on with FettyWop? Well, he's out of jail. He's out of prison. So he was selling Fent, Dillon. He was?
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. Believe that's the case. Don't sell Fent, dude. Yeah, he shouldn't do that. He did have a whole song about his trap queen, so. Oh, what are you saying? Saying that he had songs about trap houses and selling drugs. So he kind of lived, you know, lived his music.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah, I mean, that's- 1738. Well, you guys have both done something today that I don't understand. I get it, but- Speaking of Fetty Wop, Lil Dickie saved that money. It was big in 2016, too. So it was Wesend Dill, Jordan Belford. That was 2016.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Maybe for 2016 our post, we'll just repost the Wes and Dill interview. Oh, this picture, yeah, it goes from left to right. Will, DVD, Lil Dickie, me, Bouch, Jaybone and Dan. That's a picture right there. Okay. Let's post it. Like, can you use AI or GROC to remove Jaybone from it?
Starting point is 00:31:38 Yeah. Okay. Absolutely. His fit is pretty wild in this. Yeah, we'll do it. I'll post it. Okay. We got, Jaybone, he can't be in that pig.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Just be like, remove the biggest piece of shit in this photo. Let's see who it removes. I would be great. That would be funny. No, Jaybones, he's fine. We can keep me. He just, he likes to come to town. just not come by the stew he's in detroit he didn't check in what's he doing there is there
Starting point is 00:32:03 a raced uh ford auto show in detroit and i think like ford racing is um does he get to hang out with gear heads i don't know probably what if he became car guy like he became like uh you know what i mean like he was like rubbing shoulders with like mechanics and shit what if jaybone just gets super rich and then has some fancy cars that jake paul's like new compound i won't talk to J-Bone anymore if that happens. It would be, I would advise him against that. But that would be cool, I'd be happy for him.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I don't know. But it is, I think just right now, people are talking about 2016, because of 2026, but it's been around for many, many years as a joke, that 2016 is the best.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's been around for 10 years, yeah. Yeah, I'm just saying that that mean joke. It's 26. This isn't new. Why have I not? ever heard of it until literally this morning our old friend rachel page who was also she did a she did a 2016 post yesterday and i didn't i again it didn't clock to me i thought we were just having like fun like posting old picks and then when joe did one i was like oh and then we walked i walked out there
Starting point is 00:33:16 will mentioned it and i was we got to jump on let's jump on it randy we even listened to the show back then 2016 no i wasn't yeah he's not day one i don't think i started until 20s 2017. It's crazy that we used to only consider hiring day once. That's right. Maybe we should. I'd love to know how many day. Actually, there's a lot we was here from. People claimed day one. And I'm always like, can you prove that? Dude, it's crazy that that picture that I'm referencing, it was, we had recorded exactly one episode of touching base, not knowing what the hell it would turn into. Now look at us, Davy. Think about it, ma'am. Yeah. You should have gone on that true. It's actually better than I didn't Why? I don't know Just seems like it worked out better
Starting point is 00:34:05 Dude we were we were magging so hard I probably would have hit a gainer off the cruise ship I don't think you would have survived that I know that's what I'm saying Okay In that case It's good you didn't go Dude I got served a video of a guy in one of the flying squirrel suits
Starting point is 00:34:19 The wing suit I don't know if you just don't know if you just over to New Zealand And it's like a POV It's so sick Did did you get a chance to watch the video I just sent you? I think it was Switzerland, actually. Did I just text you from TikTok?
Starting point is 00:34:31 No, Randy. Those wingsuit guys, man. It's pretty... They're different. I mean, that's a guy who's, like, willing to lose it. They're just all cahones, man. Dave, you're going to like this video. It's an...
Starting point is 00:34:40 Alcoholic? It's a P-O-V like that, too, but it's a cowboy on his horse chasing down some hogs, and his dog is, like, chasing him, and he's on his horse. That's dope. It's pretty sick. That's dope. And he's, like, shooting them and shit.
Starting point is 00:34:51 Those wingsuit guys, they jump off those mountains or cliffs knowing that, like, they might, you know, they might not. survive it. Randy, what you sent me it appears to be a pirate rap. No, no, that, I texted you this one. The pirate rap was on Instagram. Yard.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Y'all got pirate fever, man. Ar, that's something else, unfortunate. I need to see me, physician. It be the scurvy, Dylan. Unfortunately, I can't even do it anymore. I was doing this last night. Scurvy. Scurvy.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Where did you send that video? I texted it to you. Oh, you're tech? It's a TikTok. What does it mean when you text? Okay. Because it's TikTok and I don't know if you're on TikTok, so I just send them as a text. If somebody texts you a video, like a real, I like approach that video differently than I would.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Like if you just sent me one on IG, like, I'd be like, this is like a funny one. I can just, I don't even have to look at it now. You text it to me. I'm thinking like, this is of high importance. Maybe they're like making fun of me in this video. But like, it's a whole totally different thing. When I open a TikTok from iMessage, coin flip whether it takes me to the actual video that was sent or just a random one. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I don't understand TikTok. Do you have TikTok on your phone? It's on some dumb shit. No. I don't talk, dude. Moranity does. I have TikTok a lot, yeah. So we got to do a 2016 post.

Starting point is 00:37:40 I can see him driving. What does he push in though? That's what I want to know. He's not like, he doesn't fuck with Tesla, right? I don't know. There's so many damn Teslas in this town, do you? I know. It's because that one, was it the Y model that's super affordable.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I think it's the number one selling vehicle in the world. Really? Yeah. Yeah, they're cheap. does someone in a Tesla get a notification if you like are up too close to them like if you're like get a stoplight like you know like they've got like the screen the computer looking screen or whatever it is a computer because sometimes in traffic if like I'm on like riding up on a Tesla being aggressive I'm always like I wonder if they're getting like a notification this guy's
Starting point is 00:38:25 tailgating you yeah I don't know if that's what it would sound like that'd be real annoying What if you're on autopilot and just gets upset and just break checks to people tailgating you? You can't even do anything about it. Dude, break checking, so sorry. AI Tesla said, fuck it. I'm going to break check this guy. Damn. I might be doing a fit check later because I'm going to be putting on some Fair Harbor.

Starting point is 00:41:38 Hey, while he's walking in, tell the people what you did. I want to tell it to Will. You even tweeted about it. I bet you were so embarrassed. Oh, Will. It must be taking a huge brandy in there. That's okay. So I tweeted last night that I'm watching traitors.
Starting point is 00:41:56 I've never watched traders. And that'll be very evident here in a minute. I have no clue. I don't really know the concept. I know that there's like a mole. It, like, sabotages the game for everybody, and it's usually like a cast of reality show slash people from Bravo, you know, a lot of people. I would say people who maybe peaked on the B list. I'd say low B.
Starting point is 00:42:21 A list where now probably people, right? Yeah, yeah. And it's for a time, but no longer A-Lit. Well, no, I don't know. Because the guy I'm going to mention here in a minute, it was at one point, a very note-name because he did some very, very bad. about things. Philandering. That guy?
Starting point is 00:42:41 Anyway. So I've been hearing about this season. Like, oh, Donna Kelsey's on it. She's too nice for this. Whatever. Oh, Colton from The Bachelor. Our boy. We had a mom.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I was like, cool. First episode ever, circling back. Terrible golf swing. Yeah, we did him pretty wrong. He's probably self-aware, so I don't think I'm offending him. Yeah. Terrible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And then I was like, well, I got nothing going on last night. Let's check in on the Mavs. Oh, Cooper Flagg rolled his ankle. Okay, well, I don't want to watch. I'm not going to watch this cast of characters get blown out by the Nuggets. And so I was like, I'm going to watch Traders. Will will be happy. We'll always talk about the show.
Starting point is 00:43:25 And a lot of our watched adjacent people are watching it. Go fired up. Peacock. Cool. and I see I go to whatever season and I just fired up and I watched the whole first thing And I'll watch it and I'm like Don't really know these people except for a guy From desperate now the real housewives who
Starting point is 00:43:51 What's that fucker's name? He cheated on his he was like a serial cheater and everybody was mad at him I don't know I don't know he's talking about Oh fuck I'll look at you'll know the name Hold on. Tell them about your Gaff. Well, Daniel Gaffert actually also got hurt last night. So it was tough. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I guess I didn't realize that. Guy who cheated on real house wives of New Jersey. Of course, I am talking about, I still don't know. Whatever. I feel like y'all should know this, or at least Dylan. moral of the story is or the the crux of the thing is i i watched the wrong season because this season had like it was like here's uh boston rob from from survivor not that i know him but he seemed like a very important person and i'm seeing all these people get like
Starting point is 00:44:53 you know come on to the show and i'm like maybe colton and all the people like donna kelsey and the names that i'm supposed to know maybe they come up on episode two because they released three episodes. Well, they didn't. And again, it's because I watched the wrong season, which I found out when I asked Will today. You big old dumb, dumb. Yeah. Are you going to start the correct season?
Starting point is 00:45:16 Like, are you into the format of the show enough to like six hours? Yeah, I will. But I will say after one episode, I didn't, it wasn't like electric. I watched one episode of a prior season. And maybe the one that you started, I'm not sure. And it wasn't, it wasn't my speed. It was season three. U.S. I watched.
Starting point is 00:45:35 On my speed. Tom Sandoval. Ah. You know what I'm talking about? The Sandman. That's the guy. Yeah. That's the cheater guy.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yeah. I think he had somewhat of a nice bounce back on the show, if I'm remembering Will's take on it. Well, you know who else is on there? And man, they got Ephron. But not Zach. Dylan. That is the one I started watching that.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah, Dylan Ephron. Is that his name? He kind of looks like Justin Rose. He's had a glow up even though. since that show. He's like super hot. He seemed like a very nice guy. He was on dancing with the stars. So what he because his brother's famous? Made it on top five. I think because of traders. And he's a big TikTok star. That's like where his fame came from, not just because his brother. Oh, he's a big TikTok guy. Yeah, he's big on TikTok. Wells is on this season three also.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Wells is just a reality show slut at this point, man. Yeah, everyone's got a he's got a golf podcast as well. Everyone's getting the piece of that guy. I used to get served his stuff all the time. So yeah, I watched the, I spent about an hour plus. And honestly, I wasn't even watching that closely because I kept checking Twitter to see if we invaded Iran yet. Iran, excuse me. Iran. We hadn't. But they did close their airspace. So we're just like, all right, we're about to start doing this. But apparently we didn't. And I watched the wrong episode. So I'll see myself out. Okay. I'm going to watch it. Maybe not tonight. But, I have to tonight.
Starting point is 00:47:07 If I don't watch it tonight, I'll never watch it. Were we bombing Iran in 2016? No. I'm on a new show on Nettie. His and hers. Starring that guy from, I never know this guy's name. The guy I saw on a plane that time. Oh, Shane from The Walking Dead?
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yeah. Yeah. He's the... John Bernthal? Yeah. He's the lead. He plays a detective, a small-town detective. That's a good plane siding.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Yeah. Bernthal is kind of everywhere. He was wearing all denim. He was in first class. I walked by him and I looked down at him. He looked at me and he looked at me like, I know you know who I am. Let's just not make this weird. So I just gave him a little head nod and kept walking.
Starting point is 00:47:51 It's pretty much right there to Tony Hinchcliff when he walked into Dead Rabbit. Oh, really? I just pointed at him, gave him a thumbs up. And then he looked at me and nodded and then it left. You hit him with a point? I was just like, because he walked in. I was like. And then just like.
Starting point is 00:48:06 That was it. I was like, I'm not going to like. Randy from circling back. Not like a big kill Tony the guy. I'm like, the only thing I would say to him is like, dude, your roast on Tom Brady was sick.
Starting point is 00:48:20 But you know who John Burton? You see what movie he's going to be in? John Berthal. Is it a Marvel? Dude. He's already the Punisher. Oh yeah. Which he does a really good job.
Starting point is 00:48:29 How did you figure out so quickly who I was talking about? Because I remember that's like the only, that's the only celebrity you've seen on a plane. He was in a full denim suit. Damn get up, right? Yeah. Yeah. I remember that story.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I didn't remember that. I got a good memory. This dude has an encyclopedia of circling back and touching base lore. But he's going to be in The Odyssey, man. Oh, crack. Crack. Crack. Really?
Starting point is 00:48:52 Yeah, he plays someone in the Odyssey. I don't know who. Good, good cast in Odyssey. I was actually playing an Odyssey two-ball putter. Couldn't make shit. I had them custom make me a five ball. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:06 It wouldn't even fit in my fucking bag, dude. A five ball. I had a three at one point, facts. You had a three? I think so. It may have been a two. I had a five. You know what?
Starting point is 00:49:18 It's a good putter. Just a hammer. It is a good putter. My fucking poised brother, Jensen. Yeah. He caught a hammerhead shark, sniked it off of a boat with a 270. Holy shit. And we turned it into a putter.

I mean, Shark was like,

I don't know. Or do you want to talk a... We could do a number of things right now.
Starting point is 00:54:10 We could talk a little ball. we could talk about these government hype videos oh yeah play the videos i saw this one yesterday the guy had a tweet one of the best tweets i've seen it was a quote tweet of the video we're about to play and it's a video that uh what's his actual position uh secretary kennedy uh secretary of health human services maha he uh he posted a hype video for like the new food pyramid which I really haven't looked that much up on, but like eat more like whole foods and meats and stuff. That's probably no problem for you.
Starting point is 00:54:45 You're always eating meat. Yeah, I like protein. This guy quote tweeted it with like, if you watch this with the sound on, it looks like a Chili's commercial and watch this, dude. It's so perfect. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:57 My message is clear. Eat real food. That does look like. What are you doing? This is just, that is pull stock footage from something. Like what, they went to shutter stock. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:14 This is stock footage. Oh my God. It is. It's just like, you put. This administration. And a little bit of chicken fried. This administration is just all about content, man. Like, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:55:33 They've done a, like, did you? The song. What is the song? Who found, like, how do you find that? That's probably just a TikTok song. I think I've heard that. before too. They also had AI of the military
Starting point is 00:55:47 bombing AI food like a cake. It blows up a cake and some hot dogs. Can you play that one? Yeah. Excuse me. I get that one. Remember the AI video of Trump dropping doodoo all over? The No Kings protests? Yes. Harry Sisson? Yeah, I remember that one. What the fuck was that? What are we doing? What are you getting paid as a social intern or a social
Starting point is 00:56:11 the social director of of a federal of the government of a of an actual of the White House like that's a very it's insane I might
Starting point is 00:56:26 I might have to go to the TikTok for the other one but he did I did you get ball sacked no no I'll have to go to the the White House TikTok page I think is a little bit more crazy than their Instagram
Starting point is 00:56:39 you know I just Like, here's the deal. Without really endorsing the food pyramid thing, I don't really know much about it. But I do, I kind of don't hate hype videos on that. It's kind of funny. But if I'm just watching that and I'm like, man, what happened? I missed all this. That doesn't really tell me much.
Starting point is 00:57:03 All it tells me is like, eat some steak. Eat real food. I think that was like milk. There's some milk in there. There's a salmon in there. I saw a nice salmon filet. I guess that's how you get the kids to pay attention. There was a salmon filet, which I know you're a fan of.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Out with the junk and with the real food. And this is from the White House TikTok account. It's just a jet taking off. Whoa. Okay. Oh, no, who did they attacking? See, this is real footage or something. Who are we invading?
Starting point is 00:57:33 I don't know. Oh, no. The president has brought a 40 under arse. Yeah, there's some ospreys of blowing up hot dogs and cake and nachos. I like all those things, though. The funniest part about it is that Trump eats like an absolute three-year-old. Yes, he eats McDonald's. He eats worse than any president in history.
Starting point is 00:57:53 I don't think there's any, I really, I'm trying to think, like, who probably ate worse than him? Because, like, even, like, the gluttons back in the day, like, there wasn't that bad of food around. They were probably just eating a ton of, like, meat and beef and probably just got gout. But his, the doctors are amazed at how healthy he is. They've never seen a president as healthy as him. David. Don't you understand? He just released a hype video of him pretty much
Starting point is 00:58:18 dancing to gasoline about the gas prices currently. What's that Maduro one? Oh, this. There's also a, this is when he was getting captured. The slowed down macarena was a big part of this too. Yeah, you want to. Last night on the order of the president of the United States. So just...
Starting point is 00:58:41 And in support of a request from the Department of Justice. The United States military conducted an apprehension... I get what people... This video's kind of dope. I'm not gonna lie. Maduro had presence, though. He knew how to turn a phrase. Nicholas Maduro had his chance until he didn't.
Starting point is 00:59:01 He fpped around and he found out. Oh, God. One of the most stunning, effective and powerful displays of America. Yeah, they've been doing a lot of these high. and competence in American history. Dude, Dylan, you always unironically say F-round and find out. Yeah. That's like a thing that you often say.
Starting point is 00:59:19 And on your burner accounts, you reply to, like, videos. No, no, I don't do that. Don't play anymore. You're talking about that seven. He's Mooderro. Yeah, the one that's 75.5. Yeah, that one seemed to be quite popular. Dude, Maduro at the podium, though, went fucking kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:36 He hit ORA, you're saying? Yeah, I think this shows. And now if you don't know, now you know. With notorious PIG? Okay. My Detroit players. People are going to get mad. But this is what's happening.
Starting point is 00:59:59 If you weren't aware, that's what happening is happening on the official White House account. I bet my parents have no idea they're dropping bangers online because my parents aren't really online. No. I mean, the editing on the Trump Gasolina one was. was pretty good, I will say. Better than you could do? Probably. Stock food footage.
Starting point is 01:00:18 It went to shutter stock. They didn't. They don't even have Getty images. They got a premium account at Shutters stock. Dude, how many times at Grandex was it like, hey, think we'll maybe get Getty images? And it's like, it's wildly expensive. A little bit more expensive. Shutterstock was like $60 a month.
Starting point is 01:00:34 We were always on the highest alert about copyrighted photos at Grandex. It was like a non, it was like a never ending disguise. Yeah, to be fair, we did get sued. 10% of my job was like dealing with like, like, hey, you guys did this thing in 2012. We're going to need a $20,000. What? Yeah, God. That was a mess.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Yeah, this is the gasoline one. Okay. We'll watch it. Yeah, might as well. Might as well. God, this is such a good song. and it's just all the gas prices from all the different states okay yeah that's kind of sick
Starting point is 01:01:30 I mean I'm not gonna be against any video that makes me listen to gasoline right song that I haven't heard in a couple years oh then he hits us with the with the dance the dance okay um interesting because I thought we were like I thought we didn't like I thought we were just weren't into that music right like it's cool to do that but got if if daddy Yankee were to get the super Super Bowl or I get, you know, come out with Bad Bunny. Be fucking pissed off.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Not that I'm going to be watching. I'll be watching the other Super Bowl halftime show. Technically an American, by the way, Bad Bunny. That's right. I'll be watching the, actually, I don't know. I'll be watching the other halftime show. The, not true social, the turning point. Turning point.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I don't even, yeah, which I still don't know if that's really having me. Do we ever get a list of who's performing? No. But you got to think Lee Greenwood's there. Yeah, I think that. be Jason Aldine and Kid Rock. We'll see. I mean, honestly, if you get Kid Rock, if he's just going to do his Woodstock 99 set, I might switch over.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Oh, look at it on my phone. And, like, I'm going to be at the party in the back, my own party, because I, you know how it is. And my Super Bowl parties are epic. Wings, pizza, Sunny D. Who are you inviting again? Beer. The boys? All the guys in the house in the neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:02:51 You don't consume sports like he does. So you don't. All sorts of crap. I don't. I'm going to be able. over in the corner, like secretly watching Kid Rock come out and do Bah with Tabal, throws that fur coat off, guys, Kane. I'm still, I'm still just, like, amazed by how all, like, the Spanish hit songs are all Puerto Rican.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Like, Donza Kizuro, is that so he pronounced it, Papers, Gasolina, Despacito, all Puerto Rican. You need to just do a reel, like, you just saying what you just said. But they put out bangers. I think gasoline might be my favorite of all time. It is good. I think the first time I've ever... It's pretty gasoline. I think the first time I ever heard that song was in the Bench Warmer's.
Starting point is 01:03:42 And the guy that they hired to be a 12-year-old who's clearly like a 30-year-old man just starts mashing balls. Was that Taylor Sheridan? No, no. That was like... He just hired Michelle Randolph to be obsessed. 17 year old. It was Rob Schneider. Was it really? I mean, it wasn't Rob Schneider, but the Benchwomers was a comedy baseball movie, which, have you ever seen it, Dylan?
Starting point is 01:04:05 Rob Schneider is the stapler. I don't think I've seen that one. That one might be a phone one to watch with Parks, because it's a kid's movie, and, like, it has very much, like, baseball comedy in it. But it's, like, about, like, these nerdy guys who are, like, adults, and they're facing all these little league teams. And it's Rob Schneider, the guy who played Napoleon. Polyne Dynamite. David. Fuck, I can't think of his name.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Tommy Boy? Spade. David Spade. Yeah. He's in those like the main guys. Seems like a gap in my resume. I don't know this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:40 It was a kid's video. So like it was definitely when I was in like middle school. So you guys were probably like in college at that point. You got any words to say about the divisional round? I got the matchups pulled up here. Let's see here. Collins is out. It's trending bad for Nico.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Concussion, right? Who is a great player. Yeah. That's going to be a fun game. It actually may not be that fun because you got two defenses that. The Texas defense is tough. I don't know. As much as I hate on the Texans, just because I think they're, it's just the branding, I think it's just, it's so swagless.
Starting point is 01:05:28 It's so bad. Sorry, Harbs. It just is. It's the worst. I mean, it's just their defense is so fun. Just hell. Just put people in hell. Your Rogers is straight up in hell. Stroud's playing like buns, though.
Starting point is 01:05:41 He's very not. I think he'll have a better game because that was a real ass game. Without his wide receiver. I mean, great. Without his number one wide receiver. But he'll have Christian Kirk, who had a good game. Eight catches, actually. Christian Kirk.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Bill's Broncos. Oh, Nick slinging it, ma'am. Man, straight up, I just don't like Sean Payton. I don't either. And I'm, you know, I rock with Western New York. I need my bills. I need my second team, my bills, to make this happen. Brett's still a bills fan?
Starting point is 01:06:18 Just kidding. Oh, yeah. I'm just kidding. The other Saturday game is Niners Seahawks. Nine or Seahawks. Oh, wow. The gift of, it's a gift of gum. The gift of what is it?
Starting point is 01:06:32 That's soup. This is the gift of gumbo. David. Well, all these, after all these years, he finally returns a favor. Where's mine? I didn't get you any gumbo. Oh. Interesting. Wow. Okay. Thank you. Dude, thank you. Wow. Will texted me yesterday. Will said it's bottom of the barrel gumbo. She doesn't have all the fixings. It's from the bottom.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Hey, imagine not watching live and not seeing what just happened live. The chat is going absolutely nuts. Sheesh. That's a first. No one's ever done that. You know the difference between Micah and Randy? Micah would have asked to keep this out of the studio because he's like, it's going to smell the studio. That smells good. Dave, I'd rather not have that.
Starting point is 01:07:22 The gift of gumbo, dude. He texted me yesterday. He's like, hey, Central Market has really good gumbo right now. He's like, do you want me to pick you up some? By the time I saw it, I was like, yeah, dude, for sure, he'd already left. So what does he do? He makes it right. What a fellow.
Starting point is 01:07:36 What a guy. Chav Venmo? I'm like, what do you think that? Like, buck 50. It was a gift, David. Just accept the gift, dude. The pain was a gift. I don't believe in that.
Starting point is 01:07:45 It's a gift. You can't get, you can't pay him for the gift of gumbo. The gift of gumbo. God, can I take a 49er Super Bowl run? Because, you know, sauce is going to be just so annoying. Dude, you got to win before their ligaments give out. It's true. You've never watched a 49ers game with Sauce, have you?
Starting point is 01:08:05 No. He gets loud. Really? He gets loud. He'll do a if like they win or a big thing, he'll do a lap. He'll do like a lap around the house. He called me to let me know that Dante Moore was coming back for his last season. Called me.
Starting point is 01:08:23 That's funny because like as if the guy who works online had somehow missed that Dante more was coming back. That's hilarious. How'd that call go? He said, dude, he said, dude, Dante's back. I said, oh, shit, that's awesome for you. He goes, I'm at the gym. I got to go.
Starting point is 01:08:44 So it was nice and quick, which I liked. It's very tactical. Okay. I'm excited. I don't know how much I've got a bunch of birthday parties Saturday. Not like for kids. Not my kids. Other kids.

Starting point is 01:12:50 Oh, fuck. What do you think I was talking about? The Bronco, the animal. Yeah. Like you're going to eat it. Why would I eat a horse? I don't know. You're fucking hungry.
Starting point is 01:13:03 Because I'm so hungry I can eat a horse. That's right. That's the joke. We got that. there. I got there. Yeah, probably watch a movie or something. Hey, hear about my weekend on Monday when I have more things develop. Well, that sounds exciting, man.
Starting point is 01:13:19 Can you beat that, Dylan? Got a dinner tonight with some real heavy hitters down in South Austin that Dave was invited to. Oh, etcho? But he decided to decline. This dude, is Mikey going? Mikey's getting back from Costa Rica tonight, so he's out. Just some south siders.

Starting point is 01:14:21 I think the weather's supposed to be pretty nice. Okay. Long weekend for some. Not for us, though. How did you say it again? I believe this was on the voicemails that will drop tomorrow. I believe I said, a happy long weekend for the fans that going into it.
Starting point is 01:14:39 That's good. That's good. Hey, somebody, uh, somebody take whatever, however Randy said that on the Patreon and Photoshop it onto a banner and hang it. It like a Purdue basketball stadium or something.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Like I mentioned before, I got at least, I think I've got, Rojas has like two birthdays this weekend, two birthday parties. Uh, I think both at the same brewery. I don't really know.
Starting point is 01:15:03 I don't even know if I have to go, but I probably will. I've really got nothing planned. Next weekend is, I'll be out of town a little bit, but this weekend I'll probably lay low a little bit. Catch up on sleep. I've been sleeping okay. The boys will let me sleep through the night, but still getting the bed later because I'm just up worrying, making sure everything. They've got everything. All their lunches are made, all that shit.
Starting point is 01:15:29 So I don't get, I got to bed after 11 last night. It's just too late for me. But I'll be around. I'll be watching ball. That's all I know. Game Saturday and Sunday. Yeah. Wednesday, Monday, Monday.

Starting point is 01:16:12 On Saturday, Dave had a top three baked potato of his life. Randy is done with long socks. Rhodes is no longer a training wheels kid. Randy was puppy dog and the Friday beers guys at a post-meeting party. Oh, which I asked. Dave was the baddest bitch in the sauna this morning. Oh. When Dave pulls up to that wild intersection on Saturday,
Starting point is 01:16:33 off Amar, he's probably wearing poncho. And finally, Dave would have hit a gainer off that cruise ship. That concludes running back. See you tomorrow. Patreon for voicemails. Great time to try it out. Oh, yeah. Also, great time to just donate a significant amount of money to Patreon for no reason. Yeah, that'd be so serious. Well, there is a reason. Which you can do. Which you can't. Apparently you can do. All right. See it tomorrow. Bye.
