all right we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from austin texas my name is will defries to my left david the human black outrage gallon roth um i'm about to present something to you guys and i want you to guess if this is a real daily star headline or a fake daily star headline wildest spring break moments caught on camera as u.s students go on booze fueled rampage spring break is the perfect time to let loose and escape the day-to-day but scorching temps and seamlessly endless supply of alcohol can make for unbelievable moments real or fake that's real though that's wordy i was reading it right off of the that's wordy i read the byline too just because i like that i'm gonna go real that sounds so sick

it's so funny because like i could see being fascinated by u.s students u.s american students um on spring break if you're not from here well i think there's yeah there's a fascination of and i think there used to be i don't know if it still exists but there used to be like a fascination with like fraternity culture. We had a, we have a friend who lived in Scotland and she was really excited for us to have a red cup party, as she called it. That's funny. And we were like, yeah, we can, we can buy some, some red cups. Do you think Borg's gotten its way over there yet? Dude, I don't know.

I don't know. Of course, I never participated in spring break because it is for gdis of course spiff could i happy spiff could i to all who celebrate will there are some people saying that you were you're actually nf because you didn't dominate spring break i ended up going on a spring break the next year what's the frattest thing i saw you on spring break yeah frattest thing i legit saw you on spring break yeah you're right frattest thing i ever did on spring break yeah i bet randy's done something fratter dude i i could if i if i said it it would incriminate myself so i'm just gonna keep it to myself for now dude i heard i heard randy was in panama city just drinking fucking borgs in one inch inseams they're calling them yarn borg

can you imagine that ass stuffed into one inch inseam shorts my god oh falling off the back he wore some like two inch inseams to the retail therapy yeah yeah he was getting short with it damn randy what's the frattest thing you've ever done on spring break we got kicked out of our room night too dude that's so sick would you guys do that yeah been there would you guys do that is so sick well one of our pledge brothers, who was a foreign exchange student from Japan and had that moolah, went next door. From where?

Japan. Went next door and got a room at the Ritz-Carlton. I never stepped a foot in there. I would have become best friends with that guy for the next three days. Yeah. What's up, dude? We should hang out sometime.

Wait, you said it was next door yeah we were at uh the marriott and we got kicked out at night too it was pretty frat but luckily a lot of our fraternity was still in that hotel too so i was able to stay with another person were y'all just punching hole on the drywall i can go more into if you really want to. Did you guys have a beer funnel, bro? Yeah. Is it not a beer bong anymore? I don't know. Has funnel replaced it?

Funnel seems so formal. I used to always say beer bong, but funnel became a term that was thrown around the Grand X office a lot, so I just kind of adopted both, I think. It's like saying Frisbee versus disc. They said funnel on that. I said discman. That Murdoch documentary.

Remember I told you all about it? Dude, it's Murdoch. Yes. I refuse to mispronounce Alex Murdoch. Alex Murdoch's name. Yeah. What's his deal, dude? I started the Malaysia flight doc last night.

Really? Yeah, not the best thing to watch immediately before bed. Yeah. Because it's quite the mystery. Dope or nah? There's three episodes, I believe. Through one, yeah. I mean, it's...

Did they get the prime minister for any interviews? He's a significant part of the first episode, but he doesn't do any... He does not speak to them privately. Of course, there are some conspiracy theories about the flight, David. Did Mugatu have anything to do with it? Maybe we'll do that on the next Touching Based. Which, by the way, we dropped yesterday. Wow.

We didn't talk about Malaysian Airlines, but we did talk about other things. I mean, I talked about whether or not wayfarer is uh mashing that child trafficking button is kanye has he been cloned people have been asking that our g5 tower has given you covet 19 5g towers even what did i say g5 is that what i said yeah yeah 5g dude you need to calm down on the borgs in the morning i have been drinking you're just twisted i have been drinking what was in your borg today don't even talk to me until on the Borgs in the morning. I have been drinking. You're just twisted. I have been drinking a lot this morning. What was in your Borg today? Don't even talk to me until I put my electrolytes in my Borg.

Babe, what's wrong? You've barely touched your Borg. I'm sorry. If I could make my ideal Borg right now, I think I'd just do Tito's Concord Grape flavor of an electrolyte company that probably doesn't want us promoting this. And I don't even know. Okay. I'm intrigued.

I'd like to add a little carbonation. Carbonation. Carbonation. Maybe is it out of bounds to get Sprite and all of its 68 grams of sugar and mix it in there? Or do you just go sparkling water? I just mix my Sprite with promethazine. Really? I can't even imagine.

Can you imagine Dylan? He walks out of the tour bus. He looks over. Lil Wayne's right there. Lil Wayne's absolutely faded off of his uh his lean and then he asked dylan if he wants some and dylan's like dude there's so much sugar in that or no way no way if little wayne offers you some lean you're you're drinking the lean i gotta tell you never enjoyed lean you had it yeah i mean i mean like yeah but this i just didn't enjoy that it's basically i didn't enjoy that feeling i was like oh i don't really want to be out feeling like this

this is more of like i'm sitting at home not doing anything did you double cup it triple cup because you know it leaks through it you don't need to triple dude triples two two styrofoams is already bad enough for the environment like i actually came up with the double cup thing. Really? That was you? Yeah. Were you doing it while doubling down? Yeah, that's exactly how it went down.

I was like, hey, I need another cup. And they're like, no, you don't. That one's fine. That's styrofoam anyway. It's bad for the environment. And I was like, why are you tapping the table? Because I'm doubling down. Hit me.

Really? And they did. Rest is history. That's kind of my contribution to hip hop. I did not know this about you. What's your contribution to hip hop, Dylan? Yeah, go ahead. You don't even have one.

Yeah. You got no bars. You got no hose. I got a hose in different area codes. No, you don't. Yeah, I do. Name one. Name an area code?

See, this is what he does. Name an area code? He does not. You have zero hoes in no area codes. Down San Antonio way. Got a hoe down there. West Texas way? Yeah, West Texas way.

You guys are living out there in a tough shed on your buddy's four-acre plot. Pretty close to a little place I like to call Pico's. Hey, whenever you're ready to intro me, I'm ready to tap in real quick with something. Dylan Chivry, ladies and gentlemen. Real quick, big shout out to my man Bobby, who you may remember from the Worst Stuff story where he broke his leg in Thailand. And it's the one I'm thinking of. He's lucky to still have the leg. That leg, man there a mexico one too probably okay bobby was so kind

enough to send my son parks a binder of pokemon cards after i shared with the class last week that his was uh emptied out by kids at his school so bobby you're the man thank you you are my listener of the week do you have any offers you did put it up on facebook marketplace yeah no the homie gets all all of it dude it's crazy i i dropped fritz off at school the other day and i wanted him to like kind of drip out and so i put like a rolex on him really some kids stole it and like just bummed man kids stole your little young for a really your two-year-old son's rolex yeah they took his yacht master and like it's just a bummer oh my god i know i'm sorry man i know i

know dave did anybody steal from rose recently no but someone did send me a binder it was didn't they steal his fitted golf clubs what did that actually happen like trying it sounds like something that's happened but no i'm just trying to get you some new new stage imagine stealing a child's golf clubs that's that's low i know i was just thinking how um you get all the good stuff from the listeners but i would be remiss if i didn't shout out to the listener who sent me binders full of women. What kind of women? Just potential employees from my capital company. It's called Bain Capital.

If there's a struggling business out there, we'll buy them and fire everybody. We'll buy you. It's kind of what we do. Anyway, that's a real cool reference that many people are like, yep, good stuff there, Dave. What are we doing today? Give me your money. This is my bank. No, good stuff there, Dave. What are we doing today? Give me your money. This is my bank. No, put some soul into it.

Why don't you just do a Klein reaction? You went, oh. Klein's got some Love Island takes. Yeah. He's not afraid to share them either. Hey, if you're not watching Love Island, I don't know what to tell you. I'm having so much fun with it. You're a big old dum-dum, basically.

It's all winding down, man. Maybe you just don't have 12 hours a week to commit to it you didn't watch last night it's not winding down i'm telling you just ended in it's over in the uk and we were two weeks behind schedule it's definitely winding down no i'm not talking about in terms of action i'm talking about just the season is the action the end is near the end is near we barely knew the we definitely know everyone way too well it's been about 50 episodes uh yeah i did the thing where i got home at like 11 last night and tried to put it on i got swatted out of the gym oh yeah can't wait to watch it tonight though back to back yeah you know what it is god it's red lobster night man yeah man i woke up early this morning to get the bag okay okay i was an early bird i ended up just

getting the worm you guys familiar with this early bird cbd product they have gummies yeah we did a south by event with them we did we activated the brands if you're not familiar with early bird these things are incredible people absolutely love them myself included as far as uh sponsored things that we've ever used on this podcast, I would say that the volume at which we've used Early Bird is higher than most sponsors. If I told you that you could have the best sleep of your life by simply taking a little gummy and relaxing and enjoying just getting a little high at the same time, would that be something you'd be interested in?

I mean, yeah, I'm talking about Early Bird right now for sure. Then you might want to check out early bird. That's what he's doing. Dude, they have 2.5 milligrams of natural THC and 12.5 milligrams of CBD in each gummy.

These things are great. Just a cool little buzz to chill you out. It's wonderful. Some people use them to pregame. Some people just use them before they go out at night and get a little lit.

Some people take them before Bob Weir concerts. Dude, that's facts. That's what I do. That's facts. These guys are based in Austin. They were our first ever sponsor. They've supported us throughout this.

florence right um florence oh yeah florence sorry uh firenze yes i have been i've famously been there too dylan you've been to florence dog um i've been all over italy but we skipped florence probably shouldn't probably you know what next time i go i'm gonna hit florence well you ain't met dave's italy yet a lot of people said the statue of david is actually this david right here this body you got all that ass too? I was born in 1984. The body is identical in every single way. Is that true? I think I would take that, right?

Yeah, he's ripped. I mean, like... He's not stacked, but he's ripped. Stasia Dotskovska. Stasia Dotskovska. I hate this. You kind of crushed that. She's an nyu student who studied abroad in florence and she hated every aspect of her semester abroad uh this is a widely panned article for the noted website insider i n s i d e r-R, Dylan. And this young lady is getting scorched on Twitter

for writing a very tone-deaf column about her time in Fernandez. Dave, how does this echo your time while you summered there? Let me start by saying, this didn't have to get published. This didn't have to be written. Dude, would you have published this on PGP

or would you have protected... I would have protected her and been like, hey can't run this we haven't we ran something similar to this i would have the do the balancing test of man this is gonna get so many hate clicks versus man people are gonna really really roast the author and our platform um that being said it's one thing if you don't enjoy you don't have to enjoy every place you visit around the world that's fine you took this one personally didn't you no i i did you know i didn't but let me just start by saying this when i went when i was there the first time the first summer uh i was like 20 19 old. I was a total idiot.

Piece of shit? You were a piece of shit. Like, dude, I think the people I went with hated me. I knew a 20-year-old dead. It wasn't great. But that being said, I did not have an experience like this young lady. Let me give you a little context on what went wrong for her trip first. She imagined potluck dinners with her roommates,

summer flings with people who would call her Bella, gelato that dripped down her fingers in the heat, and natural wine that paired effortlessly with good conversation and better prosciutto. I've got to say say paints a great picture there sounds like a great summer it's good writing great she's a good writer i too watched uh talented mr ripley i too did that it sounds wonderful um how to pan out for her she did not like living with seven people which is which is not florence's fault no this is part of it's just

what you do i i stayed with five dudes in like a tiny little flat. It was fine. Sounds fucking hot. My favorite part is how disgusted she was with her roommates who – riddle me this. Is it crazy to be mad that they chose to take $20 flights to places like Croatia and Munich for Oktoberfest. Because to her, it seemed like an exhausting form of escapism. Her words now. Oh, I'm so sorry. She was so sorry that you flew for almost free to some dope locations. She didn't even go. That's the thing. She didn't even go.

She wanted to stay back. Escapism. She wanted to stay back and just chill. And then check out this shade. I was convinced my peers were doing it only to freshen up their social media profiles and make their friends back home jealous. Yeah, that's a big part of it. That's a huge part of it. But also like, hey, man, I don't know when I'll ever come back to Italy because you never

know. So Europe, I guess, will go anywhere. I'm so sorry for photo documenting my trip to Italy. Insane. Quote, I'm not quite sure who I represented or who I represented more during my stay in Italy. My American classmates are the locals. The latter is often described as soulful, charming, and overflowing in hospitality, but I could provide concrete examples of them being hostile, inconsiderate, and preposterous, Dylan.

For example, one time, two women were talking about me on the bus, looking at me up and down and scoffing, and there were a couple of incidents of verbal confrontations. I started to protest by presenting myself to the public in a way I knew that they'd hate. Again, they were probably noticing her smug-ass demeanor. I started wearing American brand athleisure, Nike Air Max 97s, and oversized hoodies. The Italians rolled their eyes as I passed them on the street. First of all, Florence is extremely friendly to english speakers and americans 100 and if you don't think american i didn't get that experience if you don't if you don't think that american athleisure american

athletic culture has like worked its way into their fashion then you ain't met my italy yet so you also just admitted to like, like asking for smoke. Like, she wanted to be annoying to people there and she is commenting on their being annoyed by her, which... Again,

I was, I was probably the biggest D-head in Italy. Yeah. And... Deadhead? It was a lot of dead

at that time? They were, people were great. No, but I like this, that most weekends she stayed home while her classmates burned themselves out with travel during those lonely weekends. She says she ran along the Arno river, popped into free gallery exhibits and cooked with

ingredients. She found it a local vegetable market. Sounds lovely. She was left in the apartment completely alone. This lack of human interaction didn't help me feel optimistic. Yeah, because you chose not to go to Croatia with the squad. Yeah, you isolated yourself. Imagine skipping out of Croatia. For $20. Imagine not going to Munich and doing Wiesenkoks off of your balls. Well, dude, she said she wanted to travel to learn more about herself and explore ways to shape her life after graduation. And since most of her classmates were looking to go to sex shows in amsterdam and getting wasted in ibiza so she traveled alone i promise you her friends had a much better time than she did dude what one of my favorite well like i love doing this it's just something cute i do when i go on vacation i really like going to like a local place and uh and just doing it big

fu to their culture by being as american as possible. Yeah. I found it always makes me feel embraced within the community. Do you think she wore a back-to-back World War Champ shirt? That would be sick. Really immerse yourself in the culture there. That would be sick. She sucks.

I heard she's... This is... The call out, the writer call out at the end from the, uh, the call out, the writer call out at the end, um, from the, the editor insider, do you have a powerful or unique college life story to share with insider? Please send details to a email address. This is neither powerful or unique. This is just someone who went over there and was antisocial. And now they blaming everybody else. Cause they didn't have a good time. You should write a counterpoint, um um op-ed and send it in and be like you know what i had

a dope time i went to italy in 2006 here's why it was different i didn't think the locals were that nice i'm gonna agree with her on that front well what were you wearing i was wearing uh yoga pants and some air max 97s and an oversized hoodie and i was walking through i had a bluetooth speaker that was hanging off of my uh fanny pack that was just blasting kid rock okay and it's weird like the locals were like dudes turn down you've never met a motherfucker quite like me and i was like no i don't know the problem yeah it's weird i was like you guys you guys haven't heard kid rock oh man i think it was lost in translation i miss the old country man she wrote did we read the paragraph where she uh was just like getting annoyed of all

the americans wearing fedoras over there she's like there's this one guy there's one particular feller had a dope panama hat yeah she's like frat dudes are just walking through the streets and fedoras left and right he was carrying a beer funnel through the streets kept asking for lean can't get lean over there yeah he was asking all these street vendors for the stickiest mota it's nota what do they call it in italy weirdly hard to get by the way dried over there the group i was with we tried to get some weed you try to burn there it was like they i don't this is like a long time ago as i mentioned but it was it was not easy what about cocaine no we weren't trying to do that last thing i'm trying to do is blow in italy when i'm well actually my own side age all my friends all my friends were in a visa

just getting drunk it was disgusting they were putting it all over their instagram stories her sounds so sick she said she had a gpa to upkeep in an online internship i mean that's look i respect that if you're if you come back from studying abroad with a higher gpa than when you went there like you're a loser there's a lot of people who don't get to go to schools like nyu and who don't get to participate and study abroad and who probably never get to study abroad go abroad like so maybe uh have a different attitude and even if you don't like the people you're with, there's enough to do. There's cheap trains and, as we've mentioned, cheap flights where you can go to Rome. There's a lot going on there.

Ah, Roma. You can do Venice. Oh! Might be a little overrated. Go to Pisa. You could go to anywhere. You could just go to a wine tasting tour right outside of Florence or Tuscany. There's a lot. Dude, I couldn't believe go to a wine tasting tour right outside of Florence. You're in Tuscany. There's a lot.

Dude, I couldn't believe how inexpensive the wine tasting was over there. Really? Unbelievable. Dude, wasn't that like the best part? Unbelievable. Yes. When they gave me the bill, I was like, are you kidding me? Like, how much are you talking?

Don't. He doesn't discuss that publicly. Dude, why would you ask? He was literally about to answer the question. What's your fucking problem, dude? Don't ask me what the damage is. There's five Pokemon cards. Yeah.

No, but like, you know, if you go to napa and then they give you the form and they're like if you'd like to purchase any wine from our vineyard and then you get the form and it's like oh cool the cheapest bottle is like 180 dollars i'm not doing that they gave us the form over there and i was like sally we're not we're not signing up for anything we're not doing this and she was like okay all right we got to be we got to be steadfast and uh we get the thing and like the bottles of wine were like 20 bucks. It's like, yeah, we'll take some. We'll take some.

We spent more on olive oil. I'm like, dang shit. Still going through that. They hand you one, and you just look at them, and you say, again. Again. About the olive oil? Dude, the olive oil there, ooh.

I've been putting it on my chest before i got to the pool a lot of people don't know this they grow their own olives over there dave dude i think a lot of people know that on the lolo all craft olive oil is a new wave dude facts really yeah there's a new company out there they essentially look look like if Sunday Scaries was an olive oil company, dude, everyone's talking about them. You'll see it. You'll get targeted on Instagram at some point soon. It'll happen.

Oh, this is a real thing. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I've had people reach out and they're like, is this you? No, no,

it just looks the exact same. You're not in the olive oil business. No, I kind of, that sounds like a chill ass way to retire. Will Corleone. What if I told you I was just going to retire from content and go uh grow olives in in italy i think you'd be like honestly that sounds really quality of life would improve drastically i support your dream yeah thank you this is my last episode just get out this rat

race we're all stuck in somebody once told me that like the olive oil you buy over here that's supposedly from italy is um all it's like the mafia it's mafia owned and it's not really olive oil from italy someone we used to work with told me this and i don't believe it i feel like we would know about that by now we would have put a stop to it it's bad for business for both sides was an intern luca from grandex it was intern georgio what if we just had a team of italian interns it'll be so sick that story would have a happy ending gross dude i can't do that bro doing man sorry it's inappropriate, dude. I don't know.

What did Dan Orlovsky do? He's nasty. Is he a nasty boy? He's got it like that, though. You see this shit? Him running out of the back of the end zone? Yeah, what are you doing, dog? That happened a while ago.

Oh. Yeah, we're not. So Dan Orlovsky. Y'all see this play? Former NFL quarterback. What show is he on, Dave? I don't know. First Take? Some generically named ESPN show.

He's an NFL contributor. Yeah, he's on First Take. He's on Take One. He's on – He responded to a tweet from Marlon Humphrey. I know who that is for sure. NFL football player. Yeah.

He's a football man. Yeah, I obviously know who Marlon Humphrey is. Marlon Humphrey, he said – I know who he is for sure NFL football player yeah he's a football man yeah obviously know who Marlon Humphrey is Marlon Humphrey he said I know who he plays for too basically said it'd be cool

if in lieu of a towel we got out of the shower and we were just blown dry let me rephrase that sounds pretty cool we dried via a some kind of device

that blows air on us okay like a just like a big a big hair dryer for human bodies. What's dude's favorite? The Dyson, dude. He likes the Dyson? Yeah, the Dyson. I thought he was dunking on the Dyson.

It's overpriced or whatever. Well, the Dyson's the one with the diamond that points down kind of. The one that you put your hands in and go up and down. I don't think that's a Dyson. Okay. I don't like those hand dryers. Anyway. Just give me a paperyson. Okay. I don't like those hand dryers. Anyway. Just give me a paper towel.

Dan Orlovsky responded. He said, question is, how many times do you use a towel post-shower until you throw it in the laundry? There's something you left out. His first response to the initial tweet. You're weirder than me, man. You're weirder than me, man. He was not involved in the Dan tweet. I like that Dan's like, dude, I'm an absolute freak.

He just hopped in the replies. Humph says does anyone really like towels though i don't mind towels i'll go ahead and say i think towels are good towels are sweet they're fine if i'm at a hotel i have like six towels on me at all times they serve their purpose yeah anyway put one around the neck to which dan or loft arlovsky replied question, how many times do you use a towel post shower until you throw it in the laundry? I'm 30 times or so until it goes in. Disgusting. 30 times?

That's disgusting. And you know what's even grosser about this? Dan Orlovsky is a former professional athlete. Like, he sweats on a regular basis. He's in good shape now. All right, be honest. What's your number? Like, my honest number at this point?

I think there was a time in my life where i probably had a really gross number at this point in my life four when i was when i was a single when i was a single man or days uses okay when i was a single man and lived alone won't live with parks half the time but it was just me i was probably like six to seven and that I've even felt weird about that but now I'm I'm about I'm about I'm about five four or five ever since moving our uh our main bathroom that I use has the washer and dryer in it it makes it much easier for me to do this I'm I'm switching towels constantly constantly I love it I love a fresh towel 30 times it's gonna that's that smells dude yeah that's got

to be mildewy and you smell like mildew at that point he also mentioned that he showers twice a day because you know there's workouts involved so he's team two showers i respect that that second shower he's getting that towel and he can still feel the dampness and you don't want to feel the dampness with your towel it's just not something you want to do. Eric Dampier over there. The replies are pretty funny. That shit's nasty. You want to share one?

Oh. Someone said, Dan's towel at 29, and it's a picture of Towleyley smoking the one smoking weed that's the one i was hoping for remember from south park howie you want to get high he's always high it's a towel would you rather okay she's a 10 but but would you rather be with someone who has had this towel practice or had the practice of not changing their sheets ever, like most college guys don't? I'd rather it be a dirty towel user. Randy, what are you laughing at? Yeah, back in college, very early.

Yeah. Sometimes I had to change them. I had a roommate one time. You know him. I won't say who it is. He went so long without washing his sheets that they, like, the body oils, like, all the net, it ate through his sheet and created big holes in his sheet. It was disgusting.

How? That's disgusting. It was, like, T-shirt. It was one of those, like, T-shirt material sheets, you know? T-shirt sheets had a real moment back in the-shirt it was one of those like t-shirt material sheets you know t-shirt sheets had a real moment back in the day it's one of those it's gross dog yeah dude dan olavsky sucks oh okay what no that's fine i don't i don't mind that take oh he doesn't really do much for me but he he thinks he's he just thinks he's way too smart he hopped up in this dude's reply he like

just responded like was had nothing to do with it he had no obligation to even interact with this tweet and yet he put it out there i respect it for content purposes um people were accusing him of seeking attention and he said i, I'm on ESPN every day. I don't need attention. And I got to say, great comeback. That is. That's good. You got him.

You did get him there, Dan. Damn. Fred Ongood, sir. I don't know why anyone listens to him talk about playing football when he famously sucked. There's a lot of that. His analysis, it falls on flat ears with me, considering he lost most games that he started for us by

a lot. That's why you don't like him. Correct. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. I forgot. All roads lead back to Dietrich. Yeah, he was a major factor in our 0-16 season. Was he the starter the whole season? No, I don't think so. I don't think there was a single starter. You don't go 0-16 with one guy.

You go through a few starters that would go 0-16. I think Kitna was involved. I forget exactly who was involved. But yeah, Orlovsky was definitely in the mix. Kitna would never, man. Terrible. Terrible. Kitna stunk.

He was a good backup for the Cowboys. Didn't he do something weird? Maybe something in the last couple years. I don't know. It would be cool if there was a big dryer, though, when you step out of the shower. Someone has that, right? Like at the end of a car wash, you know?

An industrial fan? Yeah. Well, would that interest you? Maybe. You've been over, spread your cheeks in front of it and get real dry. Like, can you imagine if you just had a giant-ass fan? Like, you're a little hungover stepping out of the shower.

You hit that fan button. It just blows you into the wall. That sounds really strong, yeah. It has to be pretty strong to get you. It's a lot of energy use. You still got to use a towel on your hair though. Right? You can't just blow dry your hair every time.

I mean, I guess you could, but you're going to have mad feathery hair. Would you want it coming from above or below or from the side? Or just all angles? Just getting it just... All angles. Oh. I say this because this winter I started using a hair dryer to do that. I do a towel hair dryer mix, and it's phenomenal.

We have bad airflow in my bathroom, so it gets really cold in there in the winter. So hair dryer all over the place. It's great. Wow. In the UK, every single place has the the towel hanging thing that warms up your towel towel warmer really every hotel we stayed i had a towel warmer even the even the like we stayed in a very modest house that we rented and even that had a towel warmer in it everything had a towel warmer you holler at that um bidet i like a bidet dude

we had a bidet sponsor and i have one at my house now, and I absolutely love it. Do you use it on the daily? Not on the daily. A few times a week. Okay. A few times a week. Okay. When we first moved to Austin, we lived in an apartment.

It was fairly small, good location, but didn't really care for the actual apartment itself. But it did have the feature, and I don't know if this is looked kindly upon now, but the washer-dryer in the bathroom. So right next to the shower. So wintertime, throw your clothes, towel in there. Get a little warm. Put it on.

Use that warm towel. Very nice. It was a nice touch, I might say. Okay. Glad I brought it up. 30 times. What a freak. Good stuff, man.

What, Will? Say say it 30 times yeah nasty he smells like mildew right got to you ever use someone else's towel at their place like stay at their place for the weekend and you smell it you're like oh my god he probably just covers it up with with cool water his towel smells so mildewy that like even after he washes, they smell like mildew. I got in trouble for putting wet gym shorts in my hamper. I have my own personal hamper, and it mildewed out my other clothes. And I ran them through the washer, and they all came out smelling like mildew, and I had to wash them again. It was really defeating. Don't let that happen.

A little word to the wise. That's a good tip, y'all. I got a little inside track on, apparently, our wives were talking about our laundry habits at a dinner recently, David. Okay. I'm not sure if that was a conversation that treated us well or not. I'm interested. I'm very particular about my stuff. I do my own laundry. I would prefer if... I need to get my own hamper like you. I'm out here. I'm interested. I'm very particular about my stuff. I do my own laundry. I would prefer if... I need to get my own hamper like you. I'm out here sharing with Sally.

Ooh. It's bad. It's not good. I don't like mixed commingling. I don't commingle funds. I don't commingle clothing. What's mine is mine. This is not a community property state.

Daddy's got his own hamper, but Baythrow's are undies in there for some reason. Don't do it. We're not doing undies. I clean our undies for her dude stop saying undies all right why because it grows should i say panties instead underwear that is exactly just say underwear dude why is panties such a dirty word it is man i can't tell you why it never bothered me still doesn't it just it's right up against the business. Yeah, I understand where they're positioned on the female body. What's the business?

We're on a podcast. You gotta use your honor over here. The privates. The private parts. We can go on to the next thing. That's fine. We can move on. What's next? What's next on the old running? A lot fine. We can move on. What's next? What's next on the old running?

A lot of momentum. Relax. What's next on the old running? Oh, our friends at Squarespace. Let's go hear from our friends at Squarespace. I'm a big Squarespace guy. If you go to a website that,

Give me that Christmas, Natty. What did you guys do to celebrate National Potato Chip Day? Weirdly, I didn't know that that was today.

It was yesterday. Yesterday. What did you do to celebrate it? I did have a couple Cool Ranch Doritos last night. yeah not a potato chip i know i'm just i'm just trying it's in the chip family why aren't they potato chip adjacent why aren't they potato chips oh they're made out of corn corn i guess yeah you're right i didn't think about that um you know my feelings on doritos dude get them away that's so fucking stupid. No offense. Get them away. Doritos are probably the goat of chips. Cool Ranch Doritos is kind of what I grew up on.

I grew up on Cool Ranch. You're a Sun Chips guy. That's my favorite chip, but I also recognize a goat when I see one. You and I are miles apart on our chip preferences. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not. All right.

I do love Cool Ranch Doritos. Nacho Cheese Doritos, fine. Cool Ranch, oof, give me that bad breath, mama. That's what I would say because my mom packed my lunches. There's too much shit on these chips. There's too much fucking shit on the chips. There's too much fucking shit on the chips. Oh, it's so good.

You like the old dress, like vinegar, salt, and all the spice. Will likes it. That's worth it because it tastes better. Will only likes chips that are individually wrapped in saran wrap. Yeah. Facts. What a waste of time. Randy, help me out here.

Our good friends at Subway, Subway and Frisco specifically, they are offering something that I think might interest you. Dylan, what do you see here on the screen? Well, they have a foot long potato chip that is shaped exactly like a foot long sub at subway so you take the foot long chip you place it on the sandwich and you got a little crunch a little crispiness in every bite 12 inches of crispness it's a 12 inch potato chip you won't find it a crispier 12 inches. You won't.

I can't believe this exists. This is kind of what you said. Maybe I should prefer this because it's wrapped. I know people might be dunking on this, but they shouldn't be because chips, first of all, a chip in a sandwich is really good. I don't think this is practical. It's probably very messy to eat. You're going to have some crumbs, not something you want to eat in your car for sure. You can't eat Subway in your

car. Don't eat the 12 inch crisp Subway in your car, especially. But as far as things that Subway has done, this is the first one that's like kind of got me back like, oh, maybe I should try that. Let's say it won't be in Frisco anytime soon soon but let's hypothetically say that you were never left off the schedule and you're still working at subway and you're still a piece of shit like you were when you i'd be assistant manager by now are you doing any bits with this footlong chip um like what i mean like right now looking at it i would do so so we would make our own crazy sandwiches. People, you know, you work there. Ingredients, make your sandwich.

I'm looking at that and wondering how good the tomato sauce would be with some cheese, some black olives, and throwing the meatballs on there. A meatball crisp sandwich, almost like a piece of bread that just has the meatballs on it but it's a chip that's not where i would take this thing but i respect your decision here yeah and you know when you're making this sandwich for somebody all you're thinking about is do not crack this 12 inch dude right like if you do one of those chips it's over what's your what's y'all's go-to if you're on the highway and you have to eat dave update your norton antivirus my guy i'll do it tomorrow come on dog yeah remind me tomorrow you're on the highway and you're like babe we gotta go eat

what are you going what do you put what's your top dog pullover spot i usually look for chick-fil-a because i feel like they have the the of all the chain restaurants, fast food restaurants, they're the most like, what's the word I'm looking for here? Not efficient, no, but like. See, my fear with Chick-fil-A is that they're so popular that I worry that if I pull over at a Chick-fil-A when I'm on the highway, that I'm gonna be in a line of like 20 cars.

Right, but you know they're gonna do it right. If you pull over over if you get a burger king you get a burger king in some sure no one's doing burger king dude that's what i'm saying but like a burger king real bad and like some you know nowhere town is probably gonna be like mega sketch a chick-fil-a like they have a certain standard that they all have to uh adhere to consistently Consistently. Damn. High quality.

Burger King's regular Winnie the Pooh. Chick-fil-A is Winnie the Pooh in a tuxedo with a monocle. That's right. You know your boy's stopping at McDonald's and getting those nugs. Another one who... Whopper, whopper, whopper. The reason I do the nugs is because they're so in control while you're driving. McDonald's is also very consistent.

It's a controlled situation. Do you dunk and drive? So I have my wife sit in the passenger seat and she will dunk it and then she will hand it to me and then I will eat it. Quality control. That's a phrase I was looking for. I'm glad we got there. High standard of quality control. know i i want to say chick-fil-a but realistically if i see a wendy's i'm pulling through and getting their chicken sandwich and i'm probably getting some nugs on the side and i might even get a frosty if i'm feeling wild their nugs are only okay yeah i know i like the rest of what you're doing i like the spicy nugs though yeah they do have the spicy spicy john they The spicy johns. They're just... They're not my top nug.

Who is your top nug? They're up there for me. I really like them. Lately, it's been like... Don't say McDonald's. Like top actual? Yeah. It's McDonald's, dog.

I love them. Come on, man. I love them, dude't had mcdonald's in a while i love him i can't ride for chick-fil-a hard enough because i i don't it's not my default rotation it's not my brain i never go there i never go there like alone it's not something i do their dogs are probably better pound for pound than the mc. But when I crave nugs, for some reason, McDonald's is my spot. Also, man, I might pull over at the Texas stop sign. DQ. Arby's. Randy and I had to mansplain DQ the other day. To whom?

To a noted friend of the pod, Philil of club cool fave he doesn't know he thought it was no he knows dq but we kind of had to explain that like uh the marketing in texas was so good that there's a lot of people in texas that think like dq is just like mainly a texas place yeah are they not headquartered here Minneapolis the fact that Randy knows that is so fucking awesome why do you know that

so fucking awesome did you work there I mean there's nothing wrong with that it's because when I figured out this thing about the Texas DQ

I wanted to look up and the the flagship store is Illinois and the headquarters in Minneapolis Midwest stand up Midwest house

thanks for having us out very cool shout out okay anyway i'm on board with the full-on potato chip is what i'm trying to say this is not a bad thing here's a map of where all the dqs are david there's many of them there's many of them many of them not a lot out west. Have you had Brahms? Brian? Brahms. You familiar with Brahms?

I've heard of it. I don't really know. I'm not super familiar. Okay. Pretty good burger. My only problem with this is that the baked Lay's potato chip is probably one of the worst chips out there. It's a top three bottom chip. No offense, but you have the vibe of someone that would like those.

It tastes like chalk. I could see you unjustifiably riding for those because they're healthy. It has no flavor. No, come on. Give me some respect. My ungrateful take of the day that I'm about to dish out at our old place when the people next door would buy too many lunches, and they would bring over the leftovers to us, which is very nice. Shout out to them.

They're great. I'd reach in there, grab the sandwich, and I'd reach in there and pull out. If I pulled out the baked Lay's, it'd just ruin my day. Honestly, I would call in the next day. It'd ruin two days. If you get one of those boxes that has a mix of different kinds of chips in there, those are always the ones that are left at the end. Yeah, because they're trash.

Because no one touches them. They're trash. Because they suck. It's like a shoe. I'll take whatever trans fats in the regular Lay's over just eating that chalk. I think the Lay's kettle cooked chips are vastly underrated. I don't think they get the respect that they deserve. Okay.

Just putting that out there. Okay. Didn't we do a chip draft? We did do a chip draft. Yeah, I won. You're decent at drafting thank you man i appreciate i don't think you won that one though wasn't your top k bugles the top pick was probably cooler edge doritos are you trying to are you trying to talk shit

on bugles because they're sick it's not it's you can get that like in the late rounds it's gonna be there right i can't reach for it i'll enjoy it yeah you can have bugles dude thank you you're gonna take checks mix in your fucking first round like an idiot. We really did it already. Chex Mix is great. Pull the tape. I know, but Dylan doesn't like the... What's your least favorite Chex Mix part?

You and I differ on this as well. The pretzel. The pretzel. Why is Klein here again? Dude, the pretzel. He's making a lot of appearances. Pretzels stink. We're not.

I can't go down this road. We don't have time. We got to do Batman. We don't have time to go down this road, dude. Salt down this road we don't have time we gotta do that we don't have time to go down this road dude salted cardboard we don't have time pretzels are so good yeah when you dip them in fucking beer cheese and shit i'll dip something in it's a top five golf course snack why would i dip it in beer cheese and shit that's gross dude not like one big pretzel like a bag of like rolls go stink dude they're so good and part of the reason i like them on the golf course too is because they're under control i'm not going

to get a bunch of cheeto dust on my fingers for my next shot for me it's the juxtaposition the saltiness with the crispiness of the pretzel itself i once had someone on the golf course those aren't juxtaposed yeah they are dude for me for dave they are i was once on the golf course and somebody was eating Doritos. It clearly wasn't me as I don't eat Doritos. Correct? Have you guys ever seen me eat a Dorito? You need to change that about yourself. And somebody was eating Doritos in our cart. And I looked over later in the round and I looked down at my golf towel and I saw some Dorito dust on my golf towel. I almost fought on the golf course. I almost fought on the golf course. I was like, dude, I don't remember who it was now. Is that Lions? I'm struggling to remember. But I was like, dude, I don't remember who it was now. Is that Lions?

I'm struggling to remember, but I was like, dude, what? You say it's a Dave move, but there's one person here who there's some precedent for mistaking his cartoners bag for his own. As you have put and taken clubs out of my bag many times. Like, do you have my six iron? Do it all the time. Yeah. You really bad about that. Our irons have the same heads on them. They do, but we have totally different

bags in my bag, baby. It's true. It was probably you put your Dorito dust all over my towel, all over my NLU towel, dog. I just wipe them on my pants. Don't do that. I need to re-upper my NLU towel. I know I'm about to wash them. I need to send us some. I had to get rid of mine.

Sally told me it was too gross. What? You're only washing it every 30 days? Because I got my boys rubbing their fucking chip hands all over it, dude. Yeah, Orlovsky just drying off with it. Yeah. I'm rocking that Seamus golf towel right now. Shout out to Seamus.

Make it happen, DJ. You don't have to start royalty-free music introducing bit madness round two baby we need to re-up on that shutterstock dude round one was a movie if you're not familiar with bit madness welcome to march baby here we have a bunch of things that our listeners ranked and voted on, and they got put into a bracket, and we are going to do round two today. All these bits are homegrown, baby. It's that good, good, those hydroponic bits. For the most part. Famously, we definitely stole that. We definitely stole that.

Yeah, we might steal some bits. In the Too Much Dip bracket, that's where we're going to start today, my some bits. In the Too Much Dip bracket, that's where we're going to start today, my friends. Shout out to Too Much Dip. We got number one seed overall. I know it, but can you explain it? Versus number eight seed, Brick Merriman. This is a tough matchup for the number one seed.

I'm not going to lie. It's a real tough matchup. I'm going to start us off with a heater. Upset alert. Brick Merriman moves on. What? Brick moves on. You know? Gross economy. You know?

I'm on board with that. I'm going brick. Randy loves it. I'm going brick. Randy loves nothing more. It's March Madness, baby! We got an upset. The number one seed.

Down goes the number one seed. That's a headliner, man. This is March.. The number one seed. Down goes the number one seed. That's a headliner, man. This is March. Down goes a one seed. Number five, what's the damage versus number four? Is this the only way

she can eat fajitas? What is the damage? What's the damage going to be at Red Lobster tonight, boys? Not bad, I think. 200 bucks. 200?

Probably 210 with tip. Yeah. Yeah. If if dylan tips yeah don't let dylan sign that i'll probably go ahead and leave a tip as long as the service is okay look uh this is a hard one for me look as this is the only way she can eat fajitas is a fantastic one but it's an older one what's the damage is it's it's it's it's time it's a year i'm going what's the damage i think it's what's the damage for your boy it's got to be i i don't get me wrong don't get me wrong i love the feta lady i'm going through a thing but what's the when when somebody starts talking about something and they clearly don't want to say how much it costs it feels really good to ask them what the damage is he He's in his shredded cheese era, Dave.

I am. That's right. That's right. I forgot about that. I hate to say this. Best shredded cheese in Austin, Texas is at Maudie's. That's a bummer. I would have chosen fajitas, but that's the way the bracket goes, man.

I'm willing to sizzle soon. Do you guys want to go sizzle on Monday? Red Lobster. Do you get lobster fajitas? Yes, I do. Because I'm doing meat Monday now. So on Mondays, I'm cleared to eat meat. I'll sizzle the player.

Okay. We have number three, the College Hunks versus number six, Bay changing Dylan's last name from Chivaree to Chevaree. I let her off too easy on that one, I think. I can't believe the College Hunks are a three seed. I don't think they earned it. They're coasting on their past accomplishments. They did leave a lasting impression on me.

I'm going to vote against them because they did get blood on our couch, and so I'm going to go with Bay changing Dylan's last name. They got it off, though. I got to say, man. They've been making a living off their looks and just their general hunkiness and their athletic bodies and their cute personalities. That being said, the hunks go through for me.

I just remember we sold the blood couch. Blood couch. We had to disclose it. State law. Hey, just so y'all know, there's hunk blood on this couch. There is hunk blood. You only have to disclose if it's hunk blood. I think that whoever bought it bought it for that reason.

They're somewhere cloning the hunks. I don't think so. For their own hunk army. Probably not. It's like the God Squad squad on uh righteous gemstones i can't completely rule it out but i don't think that's what's happening okay it's just a theory hey otis man y'all voted for each of them so far yeah that's how you got the onus fuck oh the schwagner over here bay changing my last name moves on one more round but it's probably toast yeah i think i think wow they've had a good tournament but i'm worried that that they're not

going to last very much longer you might be trying to part ways with that one because it's they're about to run into an absolute bus on this next round number 10 headlines one of our favorite things to do on this podcast versus number two brett spotting fake celebrities at carve look i've been privileged i've been privileged to go to a car with brett many times dude if there's one person go to carve with it's brett he oh yeah it's brett he's the carve guy if alissa and i go on a date there i always call him like hey man you want to just third wheel up if randy wants to pivot to carve tonight i would go it's been a while oh come on I could do Meat Wednesday okay we're talking about a

$900 difference in tap don't worry about that deficits don't matter give me a celeb that Carb moves on it's too funny and it's gonna keep it's gonna keep happening

I need I need Brett to start taking photos with people that just look generically like some other celebrity car. There's no way in hell that this is not moving on. So let's just go ahead and fill it. Put it on there. Put it on the board.

We're moving down now to the other bracket that would be known as the Sunday Scaries bracket. We have number two, Frat Dave versus number seven, got that dog in him. Someone say Frat Dave got that dog in him. I would say Frat Dave has so much dog in him that I'm Fred Dave got that dog in him. I would say Fred Dave has so much dog in him that I'm going to ride with Fred Dave. Oh man. Oh, I miss my,

uh, I miss my old, uh, lab that I had in college. Had to give it away. Didn't have time. What was his name? Shooter.

Wow. Yeah. Good dog. Gray bird dog. Yeah. Yeah. You take him a lot. a couple times dude there's some allegations that frat dave might be a nepo baby yeah well my my dad is uh ceo of goldman

sacks are you a leg legacy uh we don't talk about that publicly oh i mean you know you gave me a bid yeah you were a first round bid that's Yeah, you were a first-round bid. Yeah, that's right. 100%. You were so frat, I remember. These new guys fucking suck, though, dude. I went by the house the other day. The worst pledge class ever.

Not good. I'm going to go frat Dave. Frat Dave moves on. People like it. Frat Dave moves on. Yeah. It's the way it should on. Yeah. It's the way it should be. Yeah.

A high seed matchup or a low seed matchup? Do we ever come to a... Don't know. A determination on this? Still don't know. Number 11, stretching your piece, which is where you elongate your wiener by stretching it out,

versus number 14, Hundo P. Backer, which is just people that have listened to every single episode. Shout out to them and their families. This is a tough one. I didn't expect to have an 11 versus a 14. I have so much love for our Hundo P. Backers out there. So much love. But unfortunately, stretching your piece is still

really funny to me. So for that reason, it moves on for me. Yeah, I mean, I don't really know what to do here. I'm going to ride with the backers. I'm going to put the onus on Dave because it's tough voting against the backers. But if you're going to vote against them, stretching your piece ain't the worst way to do it. Yeah, for me, it's SYP.

We're stretching pieces in the next round. Yeah. Hey, FYP, get out of here. I do love my... It's SYP season. I do love my Hundo P backers. But you like stretching your penis more.

That one minute of content we just did there, show that to your friends who are on the fence about listening. Yeah, tell them there's a loading phase. Number four,

Brett's financial advice versus number 12, El Glisadente. Oh, man. Ooh! Who hates the bit more? They've got experience. I'm worried that...

They've got experience in the tournament. I'm really worried that one of Brett's investments is going to hit. We're going to lose Brett. It's going to be all ruined for us. Like, oh, we can't make fun of his financial advice. That's why I'm going to go with – yeah, I feel bad for Brett because I think he's smarter than he gets credit for. I'm going to go with El Glisadente. He bought land with the with the the purpose of

installing solar panels but he hasn't done the solar panel part of it so he says land just sitting there you know what i mean well you gotta buy it now they're not making more of it they kind of are making more of it the the oceans are going down at a rapid clip of course the islands right off of dubai those little sand islands you know you pointed that out one time yeah hey mark twain as you're an idiot the saying goes dave buy real estate because they're not making more of it you know yeah yeah volcanoes right facts dude i've been saying that too. Well said. A lot of money in them, T. What is the onus on me?

They're mountains, T. Or is BFA moving on? You know I'm voting BFA on this. It's all encompassing, and even though there's a similar bit across the bracket, it's BFA for me. Oh, come on. El Glizadente's a former champion.

Exactly, dude. They got that pedigree. They got that pedigree, dog. If it makes next year's tournament, I swear to God. Number eight, Mondo versus number one, Randy posting Graham's mid-pod. I still think Randy put this as a one seed on his own. It wasn't supposed to be a one seed. I have faith in the process

and I'm going to award an integrity point to Randy since I know that he didn't do that. If these seed in the process and I have, I'm going to award an integrity point to Randy since I know that he didn't do that. Like, if these seedings were switched, I would totally believe it.

I would too. I'm going Mondo. It's still really funny to me. All right, do you want us to wait to do the next side of the bracket when you're back

from doing that? Stop. I'm going to go Randy Post and Grams. Oh, you're going to put the onus on me? It's funnier to me because I'm the only one who can really see that he's doing it because I've got a view and I notice it every time.

Here's the thing. There might be some instances where this isn't true, what I'm about to say. But overall, I am very averse to doing content that's about doo-doo. Randy. I don't like it. I don't enjoy talking about it. When other people do Randy. I don't like it. I don't enjoy talking about it. When other people do it, I don't enjoy it.

When someone would submit something, I don't know, maybe J-Bone to a former website that we edited, I wasn't a big fan of poop content. Not a lot of people were.

I'm going to maintain that by voting for Randy posting Graham Smith pod from at Randy Trumbacki. Are you kidding? Mondo doesn't move on? Wow. It's an AC.

Check my record, dude. Check my record. I don't appreciate poop content in Wow. It's an AC. Check my record, dude. Check my record. I don't appreciate poop content in general. If Randy was really in his bag, he would have posted one just now. I'll go on record saying that I had corn nuts moving out in the first round. Wow. That would have been a huge upset. What is that?

I don't know. Corn nuts. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That. Had a long conversation the other day with the originator of corn nuts does he know he's famous uh i think there's a little confusion regarding why uh the corn nuts joke has made it from middle school up until the age of 36 but we go on. Number one on the mail-in bracket, the cinematic universe of Marvel, otherwise known as Cum, versus Dylan going mega viral.

Still think it should be called Parks going mega viral as he's the one who'd made the joke. Oh, did he write the tweet? Pretty much. He doesn't even have Twitter. Did Dylan go mega viral really even a bit or just a thing that happened? Just a really dope thing that happened. It'd be cool if he made that into a recurring bit

instead of just a one-time bit. If I could go viral every week, it'd be huge for my brand. Go viral today. How many followers did you get from that? Honest question. About 1,800, I think. Really?

On Twitter. That's insane because my most viral tweet, which was not a good tweet, by the way, it was a very much throwaway tweet, I gained net one follower from it. Really? And it had thousands. That's so annoying. Wow. It was hilariously bad. You got shadow banned. I gained net one follower from it. Really? And it had thousands. That's so annoying.

Wow. It was hilariously bad. I got shadow banned. I got about 200 Instagram followers. You're talking about the jab. I have a theory. I have a theory that if you block Elon, that there's definitely an algorithm thing that makes you less likely to have-

You're getting some blowback, some Elon blowback. For sure. For sure. I think that if there's an algorithm that suits Elon, I'm definitely on the bad part of that at this point. For me, it's the cinematic universe of Marvel. And I will say to the listener who recently canceled his Patreon because we only did one episode. I'm sorry, bud. I'm sorry. I got to get caught up on those movies. We'll do another one. We'll have to get cool Adam down here. And the three of us,

get caught up on those movies we will do another one we'll have to get cool adam down here and the three of us we will ride again for the cinematic universe of marvel oh did you vote already no i'm scared too i don't really know what to vote for all right i'll give you the honest i'm going dylan going mega viral oh wow voting for himself voting for himself not a good look honestly i would vote for i would vote for come if y'all did a second one i need i need the second coming and so i'm gonna go with dylan going mega viral as it as it contributed a lot to our uh our podcast following yeah i want you guys to do another come can i come on the next one let me watch one movie.

No. I'm going to watch Ant-Man. Sorry, we're closed. Number five, the homie sack-tapping Dorn versus number 13, Doug Dimmadome. Doug Dimmadome. I don't know how. Dimmadome. Dimmadome is 13.

Dimmadome. Dimmadome's a top five seed. Dimmadome moves on for me. Really? It was... I didn't know what it was. When I saw Randy on Halloween, I didn't even ask. I was just like, what the fuck is he doing? What the freak, yo?

And the more I've learned and the further he's taken it, like to game day, it always cracks me up. So I'm going with Demodome. I love my son very much. And I love that he's a little character who's going to sack tap me in front of his little female friend. But I'm a Doug Demodome guy. Didn't that happen at Putt-Putt or like a mini golf? Peter Pan mini golf.

I don't know why. That made you so much funnier. See, no offense to Doug Demodome. I love the guy. But the homie sack tapping you was a really big moment just in general. I was in shock. It was big for his development. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. We have number three, Dave being the favorite on the pod versus number 11, Elizabeth Holmes' voice. Oh, man. Can you give an example of that, Dylan? See, this is not fair. This sort of fairness. Fairness. Dave is my favorite. My, this is not fair. This sort of fairness. Fairness. Dave is

my favorite. My favorite on Circling Book. Elizabeth Holmes. I'm voting Elizabeth Holmes. I don't know why. It's my favorite bit Dylan does. I love it. I think it's because I think Elizabeth Holmes is hilarious to make fun of. And the

Amanda Seyfried performance that she put in on that Hulu series really solidified this for me. I love it. Dave? I'm going with Dave being the favorite because I don't like to mock a girl boss who won and then lost it all. But she did win. I think Will just tucked me in on choosing Elizabeth Holmes.

He just gassed me up so much. I don't know. I love it. Elizabeth who? I like Dave being. I love it. Elizabeth Holmes. I like Dave being the favorite because we need a favorite. Yeah, that's not even a bit. That's just a fact that you're everyone's favorite. Yeah.

So it's true. Can't help it, man. I'm just a premier podcaster. I like the juxtaposition of this lineup. Number 10, old Gene versus number two. The juxtaposition. This is hard. Old Gene loved when two things complemented

each other well gene is uh man that's been around the block is that a touching base bit oh yeah like early week threes i don't know how it started i would like to pull tape on the origin there's no i promise you it's gonna be hard to find that tape you're it's not going to be something that you can see like as you're listening to the show like oh i see that's where it kind of is derived from it's just something that happened to dave john i don't know why to dave john yes this is this is the john i want people to think about when they think of dave well it's up against another Dave John. But that being said, I'm voting for the juxtaposition.

I am too. It pisses Dylan off. I don't know why you hate that, but I like that you hate it. I got to balance out Dylan just getting the Elizabeth Holm voice through with the juxtaposition. Now we're moving out of the brunch bracket. Number two, filling up on chips and salsa versus number seven leveraging ai tools this is easy for me i'm now getting tagged every time a like 20 year old shithead makes a million dollars leveraging ai tools your hustle culture day oh my god i'm absolutely riding i almost put it on the rundown for chips and salsa they're getting full on chips and salsa

is the best this dude never seen a chip I didn't like this dude like straight up goes to town on chips is that why you got vaccinated that's true I get vaccinated every day but it's not a bit like he actually does this and he will pile the salsa on that chip

it's not a bit this is real I love salsa I've never seen someone eat so much salsa but salsa to chip ratio is pretty wild. That Matt salsa is hot, Davey. Dude, they keep those jalapeno seeds in there. They're not messing around. I like sitting next to your wife for a lot of reasons.

Chill, dog. Chill, dude. But she doesn't touch the salsa, so I just put her bowl in front of me. Like we were sharing a bowl and it was just all me. So I had my own person. Like a double dip, even triple dip dip that's real cute yeah does that make you jealous that i ate her salsa so we're getting a phone call it's me i'm sorry it's fucking spam uh no it doesn't make me jealous i'm happy for you guys you guys have that you saw me down there just together yeah i'm gonna go chips and salsa too yeah okay okay i'm so anti-ai bag of bones should have beaten ai in the first round they're taking

our jerbs you know number six why is that versus number three brett owning land in west texas man you know you have to you know yeah yeah do we even need to say this is this has got serious final four potential if not championship potential yeah i'm i'm a i don't i don't see y'all voting against brett owning land in west texas it's gonna be really i'm worried about a lot yeah because this next round this next round is a good matchup i mean it's a great match on paper. Next week, we got number two filling up on Chips and Salsa versus Brett Oniland in West Texas. That's a tough one. That's tough.

That's tough. Oh, we got number four, Dumois Dave versus number five, Famously. Famously. Dumois Dave hasn't made very many appearances lately, and that's where I kind of – are we running low on tea? appearances lately. And that's where I kind of, are we running low on tea? It's just a lot of stories to go through. If you follow Dumas, you understand. It's too many. It's just, it's like, it's like a 20 minute stop down. When, when we started saying famously after

the brunch boys started doing famously, I didn't realize how ingrained in my brain it would become. It's something I say accidentally all the time especially on the podcast it's something that's crept into me just talking in general conversation it it always confuses people and they say like what famously uh and it because it's become so ingrained in me i have to vote for famously it's in every fiber of my being at this point we've gotten a lot of use out of Famously. It's a very funny bit. And I love giving a little nod to our friends, Pete and DJ, whenever we do it.

It's moving on for me. I do enjoy Dumas Dave, though. TBH. Yeah, sounds like it. Give me the tea all day, Dave. You get no tea. Okay. We're out.

Running low on it. Last one. Aziz voice, number eight seed versus number one, Zahkard. It's got to be Zahkard, right? Tough matchup for Aziz here. Yeah, Aziz is going to have to take it out here. What? Should we have had Duda on for Zahkard? He says there's some facts out there that just weren't

described. Really? I've been doing my own research. I've been doing my own research on this, and everything's coming up that Duda misused his Zocort. He doubled down. And look, while I respect it, there are consequences. I still think he's got to turn his card in for at least a

month. That's his punishment. No, you can't ban a man from eating pizza. We have rules, Will. We do live in a society. We do live in a society. Zodcar moves on. Wow. Shit. Thank you. This weekend in fun, presented by our friends over at Roebuck. Dylan's wearing a Masters themed, I don't know if you're allowed to say that technically, but he's wearing a Masters colored hoodie today that is quite clean and fresh. Don't do that, Dylan.

Tonight. I don't think I do. Tonight is Red Lobster. Red Lobster Night. For Randy's three-year Washed Media anniversary. What's the order? We let him pick.

He went Chili's, Longhorn Steakhouse, and now Red Lobster. It's a power lineup from our friend Randy. I'm doing Boiled Lobster. I don't know what I'm going to pair it with yet. I like Boiled Lobster with melted butter. That's my thing. Love it.

That butter better be melted. That's all I. Love it. That butter better be melted. That's all I'm going to say. It will be. The rest of the weekend, I don't have a whole lot going on. I'll be watching some basketball, of course. There's a tournament

about to start. Got parks on Friday and Saturday. We don't have a plan yet. Dude, famously for the boys. Yeah, might step out. Might get a babysitter Saturday and step out. Not sure what you guys are going to be up to,

but maybe we can link. I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe I don't want to see you guys. I don't know. Okay. Wow, wishy-washy Dylan over here. That's all I got, man.

You sound like our friend at NYU. If you'll hop on a plane to Ibiza, I'll go with you. I don't know. I'm wondering if the editor wronged her. I don't think they did, though. That girl's got she's going to she's definitely already sent me. I'll be like, can you take this down? Like it's not going to get a lot of blowback, a lot of heat on this one.

What are you doing, Dave? You doubling down this weekend and pretty wide open outside of... I'm going to watch a lot of college basketball. We've got the trilogy fight, Kamar Usman, Leon Edwards. I've been saying that. In England. I want to be watching that. I'll see if Micah and Dan want to go watch the fights.

We always almost go watch them, but Micah always brings up a great point dan wants to go the east side to watch him micah's like i live in dripping springs that's like that's a that's like an hour ride back in a in an uber you don't want to do that maybe we'll make something happen maybe we'll do it at somebody's house maybe micah will host us probably not but maybe other than that we'll hand invite to that weather looks interesting i actually enjoy watching cage fights and i think the time i say isaiah thomas meme i gotta find out what time because it is in england it is so famously in the uk if it's an excuse to link with the squad i'm into it okay um weather is interesting it's gonna we're gonna have a significant cool down

it's gonna be sunny and in the 50s Friday and Saturday. Sunday looks yuck. I'll probably get to the range. I probably won't do any yard work. I don't want to have any more colossal mistakes that I'm still hearing about to this day. So, yeah, I'll probably just go to the course, chip and putt for a little bit, maybe hit some balls. Damn.

You know what it is for your boy dude i might go to red lobster every single night this week i might go wednesday i might go thursday i might go friday might go saturday might do it might match that red lobster button that's too much red lobster i i feel like the people want me to go boiled lobster and i don't know if that's in the cards for me i think i might get loco with it i might get that scampi jesus a lot of it's gonna be scum you're not getting scampi does scampi not make the tournament no it's too fresh i think no dude oh that's the best yeah that's how we like it that's how we like it uh not again you might as well call us a uh a dixie chick song because there's a lot of wide open spaces in this uh this weekend you know what

i mean they're just the Chicks now. They dropped the Dixie. They put on a good show. She brings out her dad and he plays Dobro with her. Pretty cool. He just had to die. That's the thing. I feel like murdering him in cold blood was a little overboard, but that's just me. Well, it's just me. Not sure.

He fucked around and found out. What you decide to do is behind closed doors dude i matched that i matched that austin fc button last night i got verde i grew the legend last night were you hung over today and i was i'm still hung over yeah and so i i decided to uh i decided to do that with hot colin and luckily for me i'm seeing hot colin again this weekend at his son's birthday party what if i get just mega faded this or tonight at red lobster you could i'm worried about my i'm worried

about my status at red lobster after that time went on last night when the pints are flowing dude it's conca calf champions league i wish i was better friends with hot colin he's fine he's a fun dude he told me he told me the exact opposite about you last night the age gap between y'all is it's a little how old is hot colin 13 yeah he's a child. Don't... Come on. Call him Hot Collin. You can't... Yeah, he runs hot. He sweats a lot.

Wait, have you been calling him Hot Collin because you think he's attractive? He's 13. Yeah, what the fuck? Hot Collin's probably in his 30s, if I had to guess. It's a hot dude. I thought he was like 28.

Dude. Interesting. I didn't see you at the game last night. The match. I didn't know there was a game last night, TBH. Yeah, dude. I need to take parts of it. It was on TV.

You played Violet, dude, from Haiti. I'll be honest, Dave. Part of the reason I went to the game was because I knew I wouldn't be able to watch it on TV, and I kind of wanted to see it. It was pretty easy to go. Tuesday night? Tickets are cheap in Austin, Texas. Boys are buzzing.

Anyway. Yeah, I don't have anything going on. I really want to play golf soon, and I kind of regret not getting a tee time this weekend. I might have to do some poking around and try to find one this weekend because it's been too long, and your boy's trying to get his handicap down.

I want to be sub-10 by September. Is next week Dell Match Play? It is. See? It is. The final Dell Match Play in austin texas yep yep okay it's gonna be big it's gonna be big next week i'm going to taylor swift so i might keep some in the tank this weekend oh i got t-switch you guys heard of her too okay let's
