I'm at all ranchos, I'm at all ranchos, the legend lives on from the Chippewa on down. I'm Dave. It's a circling bag podcast. You don't like that I brought that up. Don't will this podcast. I can't rent.

It's the fucking anniversary, you dumb. mass it is it was a sad a very sad day 50 years ago five decades ago we lost 29 great men you've never been invited to a great men dinner because you're not a great man you've never been on a fucking freight liner in november on the great lakes i bet you got invited to a lot of mediocre man dinners back in the day yeah okay dude producer randle trombacky if i got invited to eight mediocre men dinner i'm just not going Dude, we should, we make that video. That would be a funny video, actually.

It's just like, ate mediocre middle. Yeah, I kind of have a drinking problem. Works going okay. I don't know. Yeah, what do y'all want to cook? We're not going to do steaks. I think we're just going to pick up, like, Taco Bell.

Kind of getting my dick kicked in at work. Not going great. Yeah, dude. I thought I was going well with this chick. She just stopped responding. Yeah, everyone there's been ghosted like five times. Okay. Okay.

That might need to be something. the eight the eight great man guy i made i brought i brought this up either in the bullpen or in here on the show the eight great men guy he's moving to nashville yeah we know he moved to nashville anyway that's all i got randall nashville is we made fun of it well i did because nashville is just like austin it's the same city just in a different state yeah like if you want to change a scene pick a new scene, dog. Who sings the Nashville blues? Is that Cory Morrow?

Fottin' the Nashville blues. That's a good song. I like Cory Morrow. I don't care. Hey, I don't care, man. I think our listeners are real familiar with Corey's work. Lights on the stage used to be my favorite song of all time when it was like in its peak. Unpopular take.

I used to get made fun off for this. I always enjoyed him more than Pat Green because they were kind of joined at the hip. He was more of like the independent guy. Dude, Pat Green was good until he sold out and went to Nashville, bro. Yeah, man. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Southbound 35 is a straight back.

Yeah, you're right, you're right. One time I went to CAFRI when they had Pat Green. They probably had him like 20 times. It was when Clay, like Flounder and all those guys were up there and doing calf fry for K.A. And Clay just ran around while Pat Green was playing just yelling wave on wave, even when he wasn't playing it. It was really, really dumb. Everybody was like, dude, stop. Wave on Wave was his transitional song.

from Texas country to mainstream pop country. Yeah. That's when he started to lose me. Yeah. And that's my Pat Green take. The only music I care about is Gordon Lightfoot. Right. Get you go me.

You go get you goomey home? From the Chippewa right on down, Randy. The Lake it is said never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy. That's so true. That's a bar. This is a great, a well-written song. Gales of November came early, man. Yeah, dude.

Me, Gales of November. Right. Coming early. Not this month, though. Nope. No nut. No getting the ideas. Oh, yeah.

Randy, how are you celebrating? I gave up peanuts. I gave up peanuts. I'm not doing almonds right now either. I just crush walnuts. I just crush walnuts. I don't eat them, though. I still have a little bit of a scab from the Walmart.

Oh, yeah. Randy's salt. Soft hands over here. I'm not hammer hands, soft hands. Really? That would have been your Native American name. You do have some little dainty hands. Soft hands.

Come over here and feel them. I'm all right. You know what? You want to be crested by these hands, not your meat gloves over there. Meat gloves. It's a real bummer. Will's got to be out of town for this day. I don't know, man.

I mean, he can still tweet. I mean, he's in the geist. He's in the Twitter. He's in that Twitter vortex where, like, if he's If he tweets about the Edmund Fitzgerald, it's going to do numbers. They know, now like the algorithm knows, like, okay, this is one of the guys. When he tweets about it, we got to just, we're going to shoot it out there. He's really leaning into it.

Have to. Really is. He's catching a jet stream right now. Keep an eye on this company. That's all I'm going to say. Wash media? Yeah, yeah. I'm telling the people, we might have something coming soon.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to say it because we don't have it yet. It's very much in the infancy stages of development. Why was that Waluigi? That was a baby, dude. Was that like a Yinyang twins yet? Why? Listen to this. Parks has a buddy in school.

That's awesome. He plays baseball with him too, and he has a new baby brother, all right? Baby bro. I just totally make saving that, all right? He's six months old. He is six months old. He is weight-wise, 100th percentile, for a one and a half year old baby.

He weighs 100%. He weighs, he's 100th percentile for a one and a half year old baby at six months old. So what's he weigh like 20 pounds? He's 28 pounds. And he's six months old. It's a big baby.

And this baby was like, I don't wanna give too much information out, but like small, like, NICU small at birth and has just been like, just stacking mass since. That's crazy man. Because I always thought Dylan was the biggest baby I've ever heard of. Dude, big baby Glenn Davis.

What's he up to? Isn't that nuts? Yeah, that is nuts. That's huge. Yeah. Shout out, though. Hey, I see you really liked your trinket that Randy got you. Oh, by keeping it in frame, keeping it on camera.

Yeah, I do like it. Can you put it to the middle now? Is there a problem with that, Randy? I don't know. It's close to me. Other people put it at their desk, but I mean, I can touch it whenever I want to touch. Mine's on my son. He can touch his cock whenever he would like to, David.

And I like to play with the tail. I don't like this. I want to play with the tail. Dylan Chivory is the guy. You're hearing? Dude, face down, ass up. Down goes cock. That's stupid.

That's kind of a vibe like that, too. That's not good at all. Wish we could start the show over. Okay. I think you got like the coolest one. Yeah, I did. Randy likes me the best. I like mine.

It's an armadillo. Armadillo. but that one's that one just looks kind of like mean literally survive dude she's gonna go f up some lizards or ground dwelling it's got a very human like feet that's okay not a light foot like gordon ha ha this guy shouts to the gales of november man shout out to my aunt gale went to school of the gale you might have gone to school with the last gale yeah like She spelled it G-A-Y-L-E, though. Okay.

I don't know what. I think G-A-I-L is the more popular one. Is that the G-A-L's, like a G-G-L-E? I believe that's G-A-L-E. Let's see how it's spelled. Not a word you write very often. That's kind of a literator. It's a storm, Randy.

That's what a gale is. G-A-L-E. I know. They came early. Just like Dave. Yeah, just like Dave. dude imagine nutting this month I can't imagine enjoying any type of nut in any fashion

damn it I did ah I got just out myself I had a couple bites of my wife's Kung Pow chicken and it has uh and peanuts in it had some nuts yeah okay well don't don't fuck up again actually I had some walnuts on a sticky bun first time I ever had a sticky bun oh okay they're just kind of like homemade yeah they

They're just like a cinnamon roll, but they're just like, what? Is it like a maple, like glaze or something like that? I don't know, it was really sticky. I don't know if there's an actual difference. If people just call them different things. I'm not sure. It didn't have any cream on it, like a cinnamon roll. No cream.

Yeah, but it was very interesting. I heard sticky buns in songs, but never tried one. It was on the way back from the run fair. We'll get into that. They used to call your girl sticky buns back in the day. What? Remember that, Dave? Is that true, Dave?

Did they use to call her that? Yeah, I was there, yeah. I'm sorry, Randy. I didn't know your girl back in the day. I still haven't actually met your girl. It's true. We have a comment in the chat that is calling us out that we're shaming people while we were busted nuts last week. But we didn't eat them.

We were busting them, though. It's true. I checked the voicemails this morning when I got. got in. And there's some fumble calls. There's a fumble call or two from the ladies. We have a fumble email from the ladies as well. Fem fumbles. This week, it doesn't have to be just unless we get like a bunch of ladies who want to share their fumbles. I'm going to just mix it up with some male ones. But like last week, fumble week went so well that I think we're going to run it back. But I would like more contribution from the ladies. So fem fumbles. It can be

your own fumbles, your friends. It can be guys who fumbled on dates with you. That might be fun too. Don't say you think we're going to run it back. You said on this podcast last week that if we got at least one lady fumble that we were going to run it back. We got, we have one in email form right here that I'm looking at. Well, I had someone DM me. I'm just trying to, I'm just kind of in my sad boyish, A, because of the gals of November, B, because once again, ladies have let me down in my life. They're just not emailing their stories in. Also, I'm calling in 8-8-8-6-1. 844-22. Mercury is currently in Gatorade, so that's probably why you're feeling a little bit.

Why do you know that? Because Will announced it last week. Was he being serious? Yeah. Yeah. It's in the Everglades. Straight up in the Everglades, dude. Dang.

I guess I'm going to have to go listen to a Drake album. Isn't that what people do when they're sad? Yes, Mercury is in retrograde, and it will be until November 20th. Why is that? 29th. It's in retrograde during the 50th anniversary? the entire month until the 29th man in Sagittarius uh it officially began November 9th in Sagittarius and we'll move back into Scorpio before it stations

direct on November 29th I don't know what any of that means I'm not trying to act like it doesn't sound good I know that much I feel like there's some uh if you went to the right places at the Renfair ready you might have found out about this there's probably plenty enough so during this month anytime like something negative happens or we feel a little bit off, you can just blame it on that? Well, not really my fault. According to AI, the Mercury thing.

According to AI overview, Mercury retrograde will likely affect you through communication, technology, and travel disruptions, and by encouraging a period of reflection and revision. So it's not the government shutdown. Yeah, that's not the NSA sure. It is associated with potential mix-ups, misunderstandings, tech glitches, and delays. I didn't know that. I thought it was just like a mood situation. Like, it affects your moods.

like a solar flare? I remember there's an episode of static shock when there's a lot of solar flares and he lost his powers. Static shock might have been. I fear the solar flare, do you? Here's a hand-up stupid guy comment. I don't even know what Mercury is. It's a planet.

No, no, but is it referring to the planet of Mercury? I think so, yeah. I reckon so. Okay. I don't know what retrograde means, to be honest with you. That I don't know. I think it means it's like, it's when Mercury is like real, far away and it starts like pulling on us and everybody's like oh okay I think that's what

it's like oh that's yeah that's probably what it is oh no my my twavel okay my travel got mixed up because of the mercury mercury and retrograde is an optical illusion where the planet mercury appears to move backward in the sky which happens about three or four times a year Damn. Throw that bitch in reverse. Astrologically, this period is associated with communication glit. Well, I already said that part. Sorry.

So there you go. How the fuck is it? I can't even see it. So how did I know if it's optical illusion? I don't know. I can't see it. Just go home, listen to Tool and just fucking get weird. Just vibe out, dude.

Go home and listen to Tool and like just think about life. Put on a mask and take five grams of mushrooms. Cause this mental. fog can amplify emotions and lead to increased sensitivity and anxiety. Oh, so would I tell my wife. Yeah, if there's any, uh, why are you doing Rodney Dangerfield suddenly? There's any witches or warlocks out there? Can you, can you cast some stuff to give us some blessings or? This, this guy right here is never warlocked.

I know, listening to that, uh, I guess that's accurate. Yeah, I haven't. Listening at that spooky season, I was like, I could definitely tell them all about warlocks and all the different types of mages out there. Everyone would have loved that. What are we doing tomorrow for Patreon? Exactly five minutes. Boom. I'm going to have to throw up that prompt. Who prompt me?

For some reason, that's exactly what I was about to say. Prompt me, Daddy. Can y'all not do that? Prompt me, Daddy. Oh, Daddy, give me the prompt. I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm doing, man. Mercury's in retrograde, Dave. It's not our fault.

It's not a joking matter. We can't even help this. There's communication airs. So, wait, so somebody was like, man, Mercury looks like it's going backwards. I guess that's the source of my problem. Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know.

You know, it's like... I don't know. I don't know enough about it. I would like, I bet there's a... In fact, I know we've got backers who can explain this to us more. But I don't know what... We're not doing cold calls. We're not going to just call you right now.

You need an astrologist to call the show and fill us in. Yeah, or a proctologist. I don't know if they're not. That's going to do much for this conversation, but I'll love to hear from one, sure.

She's been not feeling well, so went out there, brought to all her grandkids, and she had a wonderful day, so it was a great time. Weather was strong. Good weather day.

Oh, my gosh, it was perfect outside. Chels brought her tully out there. She got a little nine millimeter. I saw her popping that thing. She was popping that thing off. Parks shot it. I helped him. I was, I helped him, but he, he wasn't into it at first, but I got him to pull the trigger exactly one time.

He was like, okay, I don't want to do it anymore. Yeah, we just, we just taught Sammy. Really? Yeah. Okay. We go. We're strong. We're strong.

Fire our household. This is a side note totally, but we started watching Reacher. And he just walks around with a desert eagle. Yeah, that's right. He shoots it like it's a 22. He's just like, there's no kick on that. He's just, he's just all-man. Anyway.

Reacher's sick. Made by some badass Hebrew. It is a fun show. It's a fun show. How to get back in town? We couldn't spend the night out there because Parks had a game Sunday morning and took their first L of the season. It was the last regular season game. They took their first L.

Oh, good. I thought it was a playoffs. No, no. They needed some humble pie before the playoffs. They needed a little adversity. They did not handle it well. Hey, even the 85 Bears didn't go undefeated, man. They needed that one.

There were some tears at the end of the game, not by Parks, but Parks was pissed. Oh, a little, light a little fire into their asses. Yeah, and you know what? It was good to see. It was good to see. And that's really it. The rest of Sunday, we just ran some errands and cooked a steak. Did a strip.

Hungly. Did a strip last night. And it was a great little low-key weekend for your boy. Oh, man. And that's it. What was the problem? What, like, what were wrong? Was it just they lost a little focus or just, do they run up against a good team or what happened?

The other team made a lot of plays in the field. And that's something at this level that you don't see much. Pitching and defense. They were just, they were just making plays. We hit the ball, but they were getting outs. And you don't see that too often. Also overthrows. Oh, my God.

Our team, don't make the unnecessary throw. Just don't do it. Bad things are going to happen. And they did. and balls overthrown and they just start rounding the bases it sucks this was kind of their um go to the strip club and like go real hard because you think you got district locked up moment but then they ended up seeing one of their teachers and then coming out and like oh no the sun's up and then they lost the next game it's kind of like that they got they got banged up at

the at the strip club yeah we had we had a four run lead go going to into the last inning, too. Okay. This is a good thing. This is a... Like I said, they needed this. This, was that of Parcells? It was all a little too...

Old school coaches love like this, the wake-up loss. It was all a little too easy for them up until this game. Yeah. Yeah. I'm an old school guy. Right. That's me. Yeah.

You know, they thought they're going to run the table. It's like they lost sight of what was really important. You're just cut from a different cloth. Yeah. How about rain? Let's do Randy Last. Let's do your weekend, Dave. Well, if you were following, circling back on Instagram,

and I hope that you were. You knew exactly what I did Friday. What'd you do? Went down to Longhorn Meat Market, down south of Slaughterway. Walked in there. I said, what's up, cowboy? And he said, what's up? You're a badass ombre.

You could use a cut of meat, hoss. That's what he said. Damn sure right. cowboy and then he he proceeded to sell me a rib eye and then he proceeded to sell me some breakfast sausage um and then i left and i went home and then my wife went and saw Heather McMahon who's comedian doing quite well she's she does well and they her and the girls went and did that and I said all right so I got the boys asleep fired up that old cast iron and the rest his history.

You didn't use the man grate? No, I didn't use the man grate. But I did cook an A-plus steak. It was just so good. Wait, hold on. Alyssa was out of the house, so you decided to create another good steak again for yourself? Yeah, that's exactly not.

That's okay, yeah. As always, as is tradition. You weren't following along from the Renfair? No, I was hoping you were going to be like, dude y'all got to see this yeah no i showed everyone dude days eating steak again nah not the best service out there um you don't have starlink no i do not have starlink no that's too bad uh yeah and i cracked a bottle of wine or refino um watch a little USC northwestern i don't know it was on i hadn't watched much u sc

and I'm like, you know, there's a path. Let's watch a little USC. Not impressed. I mean, they're fine. Colise football was kind of boring this weekend. Like the teams that were supposed to win won. Did you, I begged it. Did you see, there's some, there's some good comebacks.

Yeah. I think our dude won the Heisman. Mendoza. Oh, yeah. He had a Heisman moment. That was the sickest drive. We'll talk a little bit. That was a good game.

That was a drive. That one game was exciting. So I didn't watch the whole game, but I was like, oh, damn, this is close. Indiana, about to go down. This sucks because I like Indiana. Just turn on right for that last drive. There is, there is two, obviously the catch. We'll talk more about Gus Johnson in a minute.

I'm going to have Randy pull that up. Look up Gus Johnson on Twitter. We'll do that in the football segment. With Johnson, Indiana call. But anyway, yeah, I watched that. Then after that, I started something. Death by Lightning. And I'll talk about that maybe in a larger TV segment at the end of the show.

if we do it. Saturday, we had the, my son's schools, fall fest, fall festival. Not fall temps, I'll tell you that, a little warm. Heat it up pretty good Saturday. Up in the 80s, like, ah, bounce houses, they had a dunk tank hung out by the dunk tank, watched teachers get dunked. From there, went home, did a,

Picked up some food for the kids, some Zah. I was going to make it an early night, watching football. And then about, I'm about to go get in bed at like 10.45. And I'm like, what is smelling in our house? It's more like vomit. I was like, that's not good. You don't want the vomit smell. Not a pleasant.

Alyssa's like, yeah, it does smell weird. She's like, did you check on Sammy? I'm like, no. So she went in there. My youngest had thrown up in his bed. We're like, oh, no. There is a stomach bug going around. Yucky.

poor fellow well he got it in the bed got on the on the rug that his crib is on he got it down in the frame of the crib oh so uh get him up clean him up unless he gives him a bath i am then tasked with i have to go get the toolkit i have to disassemble part of the crib at 11 o'clock saturday night a couple glasses of wine to eat to clean it because it's like the way it's like in there the throw up. It's like down in like the, between like the springs and the frame. Total beating. Totally beating. Just an owl and wrench, but still like, you're like leaned over. It's really a two person job that I'm, it was just, it was a headache. He ended up being fine. He didn't spit up again the next day. He slept at the night. So whatever he had, it was like a

12 hour deal. But just be aware, parents. There's, uh, there's some stuff going around, uh, friends of the show. They have been dealing with this. Sunday, you know, T-ball's done for us. So we got, we're pretty wide open. Sammy, in his recovery, took like a three, four-hour nap. So just went outside with my oldest. I had mowed the yard. It was looking good. We just practiced baseball for like two hours outside. He didn't want to go inside. Got the got like a bucket. We're practicing making a throw into the bucket. worked on hitting a little bit it was fantastic

I kept I kept like I was kind of tired because we didn't sleep great I was like you want to go in maybe take a rest get some Halloween candy he's like no I want to stay out here he's like damn he's got the bug

he's got the baseball bug it was great that's awesome I was like dude my goal for I was like buddy I want you to I want you to be the kid catch I want you to catch the ball next year like I want you to like shock the world

because we didn't see a single like out via catch that does not happen in T-ball and I want to see it so bad and I want it to be roads that would be so dumb keep working with them it'll happen

well dude he wants me to throw it overhand to him like we're playing catch but like he really do you have those safety balls no we're using just a T-ball what do we need

they have safety balls that are just obviously softer for learning how to catch you know I'm going to order some you got any safety balls Randy

Dave doesn't have any balls anymore. Oh, God. There we go. What are you doing? Go ahead. Losectomy. Yes.

If you're that one guy that ended your Patreon because of Renfair talk, go ahead and hit the fast forward button a little bit. He ended it. Yeah, he's not here anymore, dude. This is free. All of it. It's free.

Who knows? But yes, this weekend was the Renfair. The Texas Renaissance Festival went down Friday with Dan and hung out with Bush and everything. So we got down there Friday. set up to camp we had a much better campsite it was last year was the most popular weekend 50th anniversary right after the HBO documentary this year was so much less packed because of that like last year we showed up i think Friday afternoon and we could barely get a campsite this time

there was so much room so we were able to spread out we had camp lights had a fire pit this time it was it was a blast so got there Friday set up the camp uh you know some people may have taken some substances. Brian Johnson, more on that later. Brian Johnson was out there. No, no, no. Neither the Liver King nor the different king, but not the Liver King. But set up the fire pit, just hung out.

Then we went to the big fire pit. Question about the fire pit. Yeah. Because where is the Renfair? It's in Todd Mission, which is right outside of Houston. Okay. I'm going to say, pretty serious fire advisory all weekend here. And I was wondering, like, I feel like there's probably a burn band, an outdoor burn band.

But you're far enough east to where you're probably not worried about that. Anyway, carry on. I apologize. Yeah, they didn't have any of that. So we had our own little bonfire, put it out, then went to the big bonfire, which is like a big communal part of the campground where they, like, the run fair puts these huge logs in. And there's a big bonfire. There's a drum circle.

People are dancing around it and stuff. Well, that is just not Dylan's scene. No, not at all. It's not really mine either. I was a little drunk, a little high. and I did a couple laps around. I got the plague that happened. Oh, have you recovered yet?

No, no. There's the people dressed up as rats and cloaks and we're like, what are you? We had to go, like, ask like what they were. And they're like, oh, we're the plague. You want the plague? And they, like, gave you a stamp. And there's just people just doing bits the whole time.

So I got some of that bubonic. And I told you, Dan, I know, Dave, that Dan had reported in some other people that they might have seen a, guy getting a little a little BJ next to the Papa John's food truck wait better ingredients better pizza Papa John's apparently his his girl was behind his cape and uh there may have been a third party that might have joined in that was also waiting for the somebody tag in y'all get freaky out there man the rent fair is a is a freaky place no kids hey no the the kid camping section

is a lot more north so there's like a kid and family friendly camping section but that's pretty much farther away from everything else the party sections so did you have to go over there and tell them like hey dude check like this is it's november what are you doing i i can't i can't say if there was any nut none of us got involved i didn't even see it i thought you know i thought the people that were reporting on it were a little uh you know high on something and but like four different people at the bonfire afterwards like oh no yeah we saw that next morning so Wow, pop is in the house. It's a freaky place.

So then we went into the run fair, got all dressed, breakfast tacos went in. And it was a blast. I did, last year I didn't see the fire show. I didn't go out to the party Saturday night and I didn't really go shopping. This year, I wanted to make sure I did all three of those things. And then I didn't do any of those things because I got stuck on a quest and became a point that I wanted to finish the quest. I didn't eat at all. I drank two bottles of mead by myself.

It was great. Firework show is still great. Did see the steel combat, though. Some big units out there in full plate armor, just throwing each other on the ground. So much fun. That's dope. You have to come.

A little bit of something for everybody. It did. Then I got back to my camp and I passed out from 8 to 1 in the morning. And then we got the fire going. And Dan Bouchi and our friend Scott recorded a podcast. at 1.30 in the morning. She pop up my jaw until my dough rise. Come on, dude.

So if you want to listen to that... No, that's what he said. Yeah. If you want to listen to that podcast, go check out Soft Car History's on Patreon. He'll be releasing that. Dan got a press badge. So he was able to, like, bring his camera on.

He got a little press pin. He was recording audio during the whole run fair. So I'm very interested to hear how that podcast will turn out. Okay. It was fun, though. Saturday, then Sunday, came back home and went to the new Leanna Cafe that I've been talking about for about, what, six, eight months now. It finally, it's soft opened.

Six, seven months. Six, seven. But yeah, it's good. It's a cool place. You guys should check it out. But it's closed today. Grand openings tomorrow. So, okay.

All the people I talk to that have gone, which have both been in my demographic, they were moms with kids said like oh yeah it's really nice just we're worried about the parking stitch and they they said well you can just park over at loz and i'm like can you yeah i don't think loz i mean loz has a huge parking spot this parking a lot and whenever i go to loz there's barely any cars there so yeah if you just park towards the back of it which is closer to the street i want it to rule i want it to be cool it looks great i like vera cruz tacos a lot uh there's a water feature i told you the water creek remember I told you they're going to have a water creek

what are they doing without water is it actually flowing yeah it's like there's a little like waterfall and just just nice landscaping there's there's a little playground wouldn't like playground for the kids there's a lot of kids I'll tell you it's very family friendly oh man yeah hmm that'll be a place I go at like 9 a.m. I'm sorry to check the kids and I'm out of there by like 10 30

I think they're still working out some kinks because I mean it's still the soft opening so it's very crowded so the lines were a little bit longer and of course the parking lot i feel like there's more parking parking spots than uh bolden acres but bolden acres is always hard to get parking there too so when i was going to longhorn meat market i drove by that bar strip of bars on manchaca um and i was just like man i want to go to these bars but i wish there was a way i wish they had like i wish they bought like some spot all those bars chipped in bought a piece of property had like a massive parking lot and then like it made it like a very walkable thing to where you could go to

multiple walls. You're talking about Armadillodon and like Armadillodon, they have the worst parking situations on there. Armadillo Duns does, Moon Tower has a pretty good one. But like, yeah, it stinks. But yeah, it was a fun weekend. I'm definitely going to go to that place often because it's a like 10 minute walk from my place and going to get breakfast tacos and cocktails and all that. They had a painkiller. I tried it. It wasn't the biggest fan because they, uh, it's a regular painkiller but they also add in a little chili liqueur and there's a little kick to it and i was like i don't know if i'd like the i don't know if i need a little spice to my pain killer yeah man i've been spicing up my uh denim game lately

All right. Well, uh, we've got to talk BJ. We've got to talk Brian Johnson.

Yeah. Yeah. Different BJ. Not a Papa John's BJ. So he teased this last week as I take a cocky sip of water one sec. Wow. Cocky sip. So he is the guy If you're not familiar He is the longevity guy His whole bit now He made all his money back in the day

I think he sold Venmo or if he was PayPal Mafia He was one of those things He's got some monies His whole thing is He wants to live for a long, long time He wants to choose when he dies Like he wants it to be up to him

Not nature He goes to bed real early He gets up real early too Tracks his boners When he sleeps Yeah that's how he's got onto our hour radar right he takes like 80 plus supplements a day he does he does all all the things bio longevity hacking all the stuff anyway so he said last week hey i'm going to take some

mushrooms for the first time ever why is that well his whole goal is he's going to measure all the biomarkers his blood his saliva do brain scans figure out what how are these mushrooms affecting me. There's a there's some science out there that says that mushrooms, they don't just make you trip. They also can help plasticity of your brain, the neuroplasticity. Good for your long-term brain health? Maybe. I don't know. That's what he's going to find out. Anyway, he did this. Five grams, right? Five grams, which when he said five grams. Everybody's like, wait, do you mean, do you mean something other than five grams? Because five grams is a lot. It's a lot. Yeah. The most I've taken is 333 milligrams, which is, I believe,

one-fifteenth of five grams. So everybody thought he was going to one-shot himself. They're like, okay, well, this dude's about to do like a hero dose of mushrooms. Totally fucking lose it. realize that life is meaningless like his quest to live forever is like I'm done very vain and he's going to have like a really like introspective horrible trip on mushrooms um that's not really what happened oh and the whole thing was covered he um had his girlfriend colleague some goth chick people pointed out a trip sider huh a trip sitter yeah trip sitter they're with him Pull up some of the tweets, Randy. Let me just say, first of all, he might have made mushrooms like not cool anymore.

First of all, nobody called, don't say magic mushrooms. Yeah, that's a real new term. He said it multiple times. That's just being nitpicky, but it's still, yeah, okay. Ryan Johnson, don't die. That's his Netflix doc. Yeah, go down to like the photos, Randy. He's got like updates and stuff.

I should have just sent you these stuff. individually, huh? Yeah, that's update four. Let's go to update one. Yeah. So this is his whole scene. He's on a little mattress, blanket, eye mask. Basically what they tell you, you know, when someone's like, hey, you're going to do mushrooms, don't.

Okay. Well, here's what you shouldn't do. First of all, you shouldn't live stream it. You shouldn't cover it for content. Second of all, I don't think you should wear like a brain scan helmet when you're doing mushrooms. Just kind of throws off your whole scene. It's a very big, oh, mushroom. it's a very big atmosphere play

you want to be in the right setting with the right people right there's just in his living room with his girlfriend laying on a mattress the brain scan thing that you had on yeah I mean I'm interested to see like some brain scans of like what mushrooms are actually doing

I'm sure people have done it in the past but I bet most people aren't doing the day of waking up at 5 a.m. Light and eyes, protein, extra virgin olive oil, 60 super molecules working out, finishing your pre- mushroom brain measurement

with kernel flow. I don't know where he served. Go back down to update three, Randy. This is, I'm guessing this is being tweeted by his girlfriend. Yeah, the goth chick that he's trying to get younger for. I was going to say, why is there a third person? I had to collect a vial of his spit. It was not easy.

We just hit peak. and complimented a few measurements. Oh, sorry, completed, not completed. I don't believe that he actually did. I don't believe he did five grams. I feel like five grams, you're not. I feel like you wouldn't lie about that. Keep talking about the universe.

Five grand is just a fuckload. One gram is what they tell you like, oh, you want to see some shit? I feel like one gram is like your entry point. Five is, seems kind of crazy. Yeah, there's a guy at our, when I lived in my last building, a guy at the pool who handed out one gram chocolates

and he was like, be careful. I mean, one gram is kind of a lot if you've never done this before. But five grams, yeah, about one is when you see, you start seeing like, you know, the wall starts to melt kind of stuff, right? Faces melting. Yeah.

Things of that nature. I'm out on all that kind of stuff. Combined with mercury being in retrograde, this is a very, very risky move. Yeah, this is a very risky move. Update two is that he needed a pee. Upon returning, he stared at this cup for 10 minutes. What does it mean?

Oh, he's probably waiting for two girls to show up. Okay. I like this one, though. He does look cozy. He does. I got to say, that is a cozy sitch. Lots of laughter, hard to stay on task, keeps talking about the universe and how we're all one. Okay.

He wants to go back to his bed and, quote, return to the playground. There's a playground in his mind. Does he talk about any visuals or anything at any point? because that's just something weirds me out, man. I don't want to lose control of my reality around me. Okay. You don't control all your variables. Yeah, you don't.

We know that about you. Visual hallucinations are happening. My face and the trees are alive and moving, which I think that's a pretty standard thing that people think about when they're on shrooms. But what trees, though, if he's just sitting in his house, I mean, maybe he has plants. He looks out the window, maybe.

He probably has a window. Yeah, I guess a lot of people do. Yeah, you can go see trees on. He's very well. man yeah go up to like his post uh comments because those are the ones that get like they're kind of just generic and himself he talks about how he's different go up more there's a okay go up keep going there we go okay hey i'm just happy to be alive okay yes this trip changed me probably not as you'd expect people assume i'm fearful of death i'm not my darkest

days of depression i reconcile with death Need a few days to collect my thoughts. We'll share more soon. All right, go up a little bit more. Okay. So here's the thing. And this doesn't really relate. His comments actually weren't like super insufferable.

There's someone I followed on Instagram who did like this young lady did Iowaska and like with her boyfriend. They like did the thing. came back and they weren't like particularly like I don't know them very well I don't really know them they weren't like particularly like earthy or spiritual people and they just like it seemed like a glam play like a trendy like ooh let's go to ayahuasca and they did and they came back and she did like this post and it was like wow it was like the next thing like nothing will ever be the same I'm changed forever well that's what you hear about I mean you hear about how this

stuff I don't know about shrooms but ayahuasca like it like rewires you in a way and then she can't then she continued posting really insufferable like uh tone deaf instagram stories uh okay where it was like it's we'll talk after the pod back to her influencer bullshit it was it was which it was just funny yeah the the whole scene is just it's very very um have you not seen this his documentary no i actually never i never watched it man I mean, I follow him, like, already. Like I told you, it really humanizes the guy. Do you know where he made his money?

No. I think he touched on it briefly in the dock, but I don't recall. Because he was making money, hand over fist. Yeah, he was. So there's this show on Netflix. It's like a documentary series. It's called How to Change Your Mind. I only watched the mushroom episode, but it was pretty cool.

Like, they went through all psilocybin, like, how there were actual clinical studies where you could take a hero dose and they had like a person doing a trip center and like one guy that was like depressed or had some problem after he was done with it he just was completely fine

like cured whatever he had. Yeah, there's a lot of science on that. It can, yeah, people use it to treat depression. A lot of people will use it to like go to carve with the boys and then order a giant plate of meat and then not really eat it because they don't have an appetite.

That happened to us. Some people will do that. Some people will use it to go to giant bonfire and watch a guy get a blowjob underneath the cape and then yeah and getting get papa john's pizza wait so there's just a papa john's truck yeah yeah there's like little food trucks outside does that kind of ruin the renfair vibe because that in my i'm not a student history i don't know if you guys are i thought it was just turkey legs and there weren't that's in the actual festival where there's like boosts like at the bonfire out there there's like four food trucks

like there's i think there's even like a tiny pie as one too so it's like that area is just like the campgrounds, which is, it's still like, they should have, like, re-branded it. It should have been Father John's. And you could have been like, oh, Father Johns. Hey, hold on, what's my Renfair voice? Oh, I need some pizza from Father John's. Father John's. That's better. That's better. As far as I know,

this random person that joined in on the action didn't even know who those two people were. Just a drive-by sucking? Yeah. That's not good. Well, maybe it is. I don't know. Yikes. Fun times though. Yikes. It's interesting because Dan said that you disappeared for a little while. No.

And you had a cape on or something? No, no capes this year. It is funny that like within 10 minutes of us entering into the actual festival, everyone split up and we didn't see each other until we're back at the campsite. It's easy to lose people in there. Can I just say like that's bad for, for a Renfair branding? What? A guy getting asked on by the Papa John's truck?

I think, because like if I'm trying to convince me like, oh yeah, we should go. And it's like, oh, yeah, we should get some food. That's not, ooh, I can't wait to get some Papa John's. We'll go by the bonfire. It's where the Papa John's pizza truck is. That's fine. And you go over there, the next thing you're like, oh, man, this is a great pizza. And you look over.

There's a maiden just doing work. Yeah, just getting some guys getting glugged on. I think, uh, the rest, run fair campgrounds are pretty notoriously known for being a little, little freaky. A lot of polycules out there. I'll tell you that much. Polycules. Mm-hmm.

I for sure know what that is. Polycules, people that are polyamorous, and they have their little group that fuck each other. They're called polycules. Okay. Some lady just fucking going to town on the garlic crust. Just fucking. And then some random guy hops in while he, was the guy holding pizza too? I don't know.

Maybe that was the day of reckoning. Who knows? That's a good point. Could be. That's what Papa John was talking about. That's just didn't deliver. I mean I they deliver yeah that's good one that's true yeah uh I don't know man Brian Johnson I hope he's uh I hope he's okay everybody that I was reading I made the

mistake of reading uh some responses to like any all these tweets when he says gonna do five milligrams or five grams excuse me and it was just horror stories about people like yeah one time uh my buddy's girlfriend gave me um didn't tell me I was taking too much and I took like eight and it ruined like the next two years in my life. There was like terrible stories about people who like weren't expecting to have these these trips and the next thing you know. How old is Brian Johnson? Because when you sent I think this story originally in the group text and I saw like

the featured image, I was like that guy looks young. Like it so whatever he's doing does see do working. He dresses young. He's 47. Yeah, he does not look for it. He definitely looks... Is that like how I don't look 41? I look 38.

But his biological age is much younger. Yeah, I would agree with that. How do we get our biological age taken? Oh, you gotta do all this shit. How funny would it be if you got yours done and he said like 54? His heart is the equivalent to a 37-year-old. His skin is the equivalent to a 28-year-old and his lungs equivalent to an 18-year-old. This is according to AI overview, which might be bullshit.

I don't know. That might all be true. But that just sounds creepy to say you have... the lungs of an 18-year-old. Yeah. I don't think I would publicize any of that. Again, the documentary will kind of make you, like, pull for the guy because he seems like a genuinely, like, decent human being.

He's like, I'm doing this for, like, the reason my itself is, like, a test subject to learn more about the human body, to, you know, increase longevity for generations after me. Is he? Because it looks like he's just doing it to pull babes. He's not. And the doc, he talks about how hard it is for him to find babies because of his lifestyle, which makes a lot of sense. You know what makes it easier to find babes?

Millions of dollars. Yeah, that helps too. I don't think this guy looks 45 here. No. He looks, he does. He's got a cool guy haircut and, you know,

he's got a chain on it. You can tell he's 45. He does have a cool guy haircut. He looks like he's in great shape, but you can tell he's 45. Yeah, five grams. Crazy. Crazy.

Oh, I just have a hypothetical. It's not a hypothetical. It's not a this or that. I guess it is that this or that. I was thinking because I watched a little bit of college football on Saturday. So we had tech hosting BYU, number seven ranked team. Their offense, they don't look like, they didn't look great. BYU is bad.

And I knew that game. They fumbled like a punt, like immediately. It was bad. You knew there. Lovick was great, though. Was it BYU? about you who was starting a quarterback for the... No.

I'm thinking of different teams. No, but they do have that bear kid who's like a freshman, who's a absolute unit. They said he might be like 240, 250. I'm thinking of Missouri, I think. Missouri, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was, that was... But I'm glad you brought up Missouri, because A&M played Missouri. Yeah.

They beat Missouri quite handedly, right? Yes, they did. And Tech's defense looked good. Their offense looked all right. Their quarterback, Baron Morton's a little hobbled. I don't know. Their offense, well, I didn't watch the whole game, but they looked fine. Anyway, Lubbock, if they host a playoff game, that'll be a hard place to play.

A&M, both of these teams are very, very, very likely to make the playoff. They'll make, they'll both make the playoff. Curious, if you're a Texas fan, mainly for you, not all Texas fan. I'm curious about where you are on this. Okay. Who, one of those two teams asked to win a Natty is going to win the Natty. Who do you want it to be? If I have to choose between A&M or Texas Tech winning a Natty, this is a pretty easy one for me.

Okay. It's Texas Tech. Really? Okay. Mostly because Texas shares a conference with Texas A&M, and that is a true rival of Texas. And so that is worse, that's worse for Texas than it is if Tech were to win. Okay. Tech being in the Big 12, Texas doesn't play Texas Tech anymore.

did you see the projection i saw i saw a projection a lot of things have to go right for that by the way i see people saying that texas if texas were to lose one more game and that's a tall look that's a tall order because texas has to go at to georgia this weekend um then they play arkansas then they play a and m at home so texas would have to win one of georgia or two of those three games obviously but one of at georgia or hosting texas a and m that's tough to do but i saw that a nine and three Texas could potentially get into the playoff and yeah a projection of playing at Lubbock in the first round which I think would be a lot of fun I would I would welcome that matchup big time and I think tech I mean tech should be favored in that game I think Texas Tech is a better

football team than Texas is but they're also a beatable football team I think Texas Tech yeah yeah um did you see so you know who Zach Barnett is right no okay I believe it was Zach Hornet. He's a college football writer. He had a tweet about A&M that I wish I had pulled up sooner. Oh, yeah, yeah, basically pointing out Casey Smith is, okay, A&M is 6 and O in the SEC, which is good. Four SEC schools have fired their head coaches, A&M played all four. There's a problem with that argument.

It's obvious. We'll get to him in a minute. Today's opponent, talking about Mizzou, played with their third string true freshman quarterback. That is true. Next week's opponent

is 1 in 6 in SEC play and has fired its O-C and O-Line coach. So the point he's making without making it is that A&M is overrated. Yeah, A&M, despite their record, has not really had a tough schedule. They did beat Notre Dame. It's a good dub.

That's a great dub. But other than that, yeah, not a whole lot of strength on that scale. He's right, but the SEC schools that have fired their head coaches. I think you're leaving out the fact that, like, part of the reason they fire their coach is because of a loss to A&M. Not wasn't the sole reason. A&M's a good team in theory, right?

But, like, I hate when people, like, use that. It's like, oh, these teams, these guys fire their coach. Well, yeah, part of their skid was because they lost to this A&M team. Yeah. And you can only play the teams on your schedule. Anytime you're 6 and O in the SEC, you're good. And watching A&M, like, I don't think they're

I don't think they're one of the two best teams in the country but they are definitely a top 10 team and they play like hard as hell they are deserving of their ranking yeah yeah yeah being number three but I don't yeah I don't think they're the third best team in the country I think they're really really good yeah they are they're really really good

and it's going to be a very difficult game in Austin I think it's going to be a crazy defensive game yeah because both defenses get after And yeah, all I'm saying is I thought Zach Burnett was like, okay, I'm glad I thought he might have been like a known Longhorn guy and I'm like, man, that's a really fast. I don't know who that is.

Texas A&M, they have some really fast guys on offense. Their receiving court is really, really good, really good. Craver is one of them and Concepcion is the other one. Those guys can both run really well. So they've gotten much better since last season for sure. And I don't know what to expect. I don't, I really don't. I think Texas has a chance to win that game for sure.

Yeah. And ultimately, it's very unlikely to matter too much for A&M. No, for seating purposes, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, that's going to, if A&M goes undefeated all the way and then loses to Texas, it's going to put a big stink on the season for them, even though they, you know, all their goals are very much on the table still. Who, okay, so top four teams get the, how, I'm trying to remember how it works. Top four teams don't play a first round.

Yeah, they get a buy. um the teams who host i i don't remember it's it's conference champions it's like fifth through eight seeds right but i don't i forgot how it gets sorted out okay all right it's fine although we all we need to know is that tech and ann will both be in there yeah we talk about indiana dude can you pull up that gus johnson call did you watch this i did okay were you watching were you watching it live i did but i i think i had the volume down so i missed gus johnson's is it Is this the one? Is this your first time hearing this?

No, I heard it later. I heard it later. Yeah, I'm assuming this is the one. Hopefully. Dude, he's great. I love Gus Johnson. A lot of people don't. I know.

He gets so into these plays. There's a lot of people that want, like, they want a Jim Nance call. They want something serious. They want, they don't want joy. Now, this guy is, like you said, he's genuinely enjoying what he's saying, and he just gets, like, his emotions just take over the calls. Joe Clad even. I think it's fond. Joe Clad even got into it, too.

Joe Clat was like, to be fair, that was the play of the season. That was a nasty catch. There was another play earlier in the drive that was. just like basically is sick of a of a throwing catch like i don't know people got mad that like oh you're giving them the heisman already like no that's a total disrespect to blah blah blah okay like i feel like the last couple years maybe and this could could be proven wrong very quickly by somebody there really hasn't been the heisman moment yeah does that right you know what i'm saying yeah indiana for me is one of these teams it's like all right it's indiana

they don't have much of a history in college football like if they're going to go have a fantastic season with heism wearer that's great like that's good good for them like it's doesn't you know it's not like you know it's not like uh fucking oh you quarterback winning another heisman or yeah it's just like all right yeah give it to indiana man i know randy you got different feelings about that um it's it's basketball season who cares there's there's obviously like there's other players that there's still time but It's just, I really had no problem with that, although that is just a pinnacle gustasm. Yeah, that, the way he, that receiver had to tap inside the end zone as he was falling out of balance was fucking nuts.

By the way, he threw that off his back foot. Yeah, because they were, they were blitzing pretty much every play at that point. So he had guys in his face every single play. Where did he transfer from? I don't remember. He's good, though. He's real good. He'll be a high pick.

Don't know where he transferred in from. thing's about to pull it up oh was he with cow yeah cow he's a cow okay interesting yeah man um shout out to indiana trying to think elsewhere was there anything note worthy probably some shit we're missing no i mean who else is on the ropes texas tech b yu was the other like big it was a good matchup but that wasn't an entertaining Oregon iowa that's a gritty win for i for Oregon on the road on the road against Iowa yes yeah I guess

Well We got a little TV talk You don't talk a little TV? It's through TV talk. Let's talk TV. Because I watched some TV as well. I watched a movie. Oh, it's a movie?

Yeah. Okay. I watched House of Dynamite on Netflix. Idris Elba, is that he say? Oh, yeah. He's the... Former sexiest man in the world. Yeah, he's like...

He's the biggest name. He plays the president of the United States. Okay. Spoilers, by the way. You're going to get some spoilers here. So this movie, it seems like a really fun idea. So there's a situation room. There's like a military, I don't know, they pick up activity around the world and they're like, oh shit.

Control center. Control center, sure. A task. Yeah. There you go. They're like, oh, there's something identified over the Pacific. It looks to be a missile of sorts. a test missile probably they don't think much of it and then they realize that uh not only is this

a very real threat but it's headed uh towards chicago it's a nuke nuclear warhead headed towards chicago and they have it will um impact is 18 minutes away so they they chop it up so it's like the whole movie takes place over the span of these 18 minutes but they do it in like different segments like the first like they're in the control center and they're like trying to figure out like where it's headed uh when it's going to impact all this stuff and then that's the first like one third of the movie the second third of the movie is like the next level up of government officials trying to figure out what to do like where's the threat coming from do we need to retaliate um and it's like you're into it you're not like this is fucking wild like what's

going to happen um and so the third sorry the the yeah the third segment of the movie is from the the the president's point of view like he's he's had some public event he gets pulled out of it and immediately he's on uh marine one like making making calls like what like what like what do i do here and i wrote here on the rundown like it needed a michael bay moment and this is where you guys make fun of me for needing like explosions or whatever but the movie cuts the movie ends before the missile arrives okay and so you're left to like wonder what the hell happened like the president's trying to figure out do we need to retaliate they identified they think the threats It's coming from North Korea, but they're not even sure.

And so they're on the phone with Russia. Like, did you guys do this? Like, no, we didn't do this. And they're talking to China, like, trying to figure out where it's coming from. And all this buildup, there's all this buildup. And you're like, on the edge, you're saying, what the fuck's going to happen? Cut. And then it's just fucking over.

And so the movie is, like, it's supposed to, like, highlight, like, how intense and how serious the threat of nuclear war is and, like, all the, you know, government officials go through and all the stuff. and it is like it grabs you for a little bit then there's zero payoff whatsoever you don't know you want to see chicago get its little dick blown i just i wanted a resolution oh they they try to they try to shoot it out of the sky and it misses uh and then they scramble b2 bombers to go retaliate if need be in case they need to drop something that they're ready to do that and so all this is happening and you're like oh shit missile's about to hit and then it just nothing happens

I've got to at least acknowledge how funny it is that you needed an explosion. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why I said it needed it. It's Michael Bay. So it's just making you think. It's a think piece. It is. It is.

But it's like, all right. Wait, what time of year is this? Why? I'm just trying to figure out if we're going to lose summertime shy or wintertime shy. Yeah. I don't think they get into that really. Okay. Yeah.

Rebecca Ferguson Very beautiful to me She's a blonde Blonde lady Yeah Oh yeah You like that? You like her white boy?

Yeah Like that shit? She's very pretty She was in mission I don't know man It was fine I wouldn't watch it Really

Sounds like Sounds like if he watches it There's gonna be an explosion Not during November Yeah that's right No way Can it be me I don't recommend this movie

Good performances though He just always Goated They're fine He's good Yeah he's good I guess I don't know.

It's just fine. It's just like, what happened? I haven't seen the movie. Did we lose Chicago? And they estimate like 13 million people because of the impact and then. Northwest Indiana. That would take out the region.

Yeah, 219 is done. I'm telling you, man. Oh, no. I wanted to know. I wanted to know if we lost them. I wanted to know. And then there's just nothing.

So I lose family right here. We're going to lose Gitchie Gumi? Who? I don't know. Would it take out more? Milwaukee, too, will we lose J-Bone? Madison, maybe, K-J? Stone-Creek coffee.

Stone-Cree coffee. What didn't you think of them first? It's a big fallout. I would think Stone Creek Coffee before Jay-Bone. Oh, wow. I had this same thought. I haven't watched this movie, but it's similar. The last Mission Impossible.

Just like the whole president being in the room when this, like, this, you know, bad thing is happening. Just imagining Trump or Biden in that situation, for some reason is, sadly funny can you imagine trumping on that call in the marine one yeah yeah yeah the president in this movie he's getting he's getting pool in two of in directions like he's his one he's got an advisor being like don't retaliate we didn't know where this is coming from and then he's got some like high-ranking military official being like we got to do something we can't look weak and he's you know he's like oh what do what do i do movie over did you see we had the orange man in the

booth he got booed he got booed he got booed In Washington. They let them call some of the game. Did they really? It was him and Kenny Albert. He called some of the game? I mean, he called a, I mean, he like goes, he like, like, oh, yeah, like, he, like, was in the booth with Kenny and the other commentator. Oh, I miss that part.

And, like, they're kind of watching the game. It was very awkward. It wasn't good. I missed that part. But Kenny Albert. Are you doing Fat Albert? No, Kenny Albert. I know, but that sounds like Fat Albert.

did it not I don't have a Kenny Albert I guess clearly Kenny Albert's good obviously he's good at hockey he's a good really good hockey I don't I don't like him NFL no somebody asked him a really generic question the other commentator goes so like what's your favorite thing about sports what a terrible question man dude that is just not a good question that's that's a bad first day that's that's a bad first day

That's the type of question you asked at the eight mediocre men thing. Yeah, you're right. One of the mediocre men asked me my favorite thing about sports. I started the mini-series, Death by Lightning. And what's this about? Death by Lightning is a... It is a docu- not a docu-series. It is the story of James Garfield, our President Garfield, who is assassinated.

and it is a four-part telling of that story and I will be completely honest I do consider myself a student of history however the details of that assassination are lost on me so I don't know how this goes down now you know based on how they set it up

who the assassin is because it's basically split up into here's James Garfield rise to power and here's the assassin doing what he does but you don't really know why and the guy who plays the assassin is tom from succession and he's a great actor and you know michael shannon michael shannon he's awesome incredible actor um you also have uh who's the guy from parks and rec the bacon guy uh ron swanson don swanson ron swanson nick offerman nick offerman uh And then you have one of the guys from Boardwalk.

Steve Ushamie? Nucky Thompson's brother. Michael Shannon is also on Boardwalk. He was. HBO, that's one thing I love. Although that's not HBO. Seems like these guys all kind of stick with HBO. But this is not on HBO, Johnson's Netflix.

Anyway, I'm too deep. I'm going to finish it tonight probably. It's fucking great. Tell me what it's called again? Death by Lightning. Death by Lightning. I wouldn't be surprised as the same director. Like James Gunn used a lot of the same people.

and like i feel like the producers that make the boys also made supernatural because they use a lot of the same actors yeah i'm gonna matthie mcfaden that's who plays the assassin that's tom dude i'm in on this i will tell you it is um it there's there is some comedy to it but it's very very light and dry and it's mainly from um matthew mcfadden who plays uh the assassin charles gouto uh that that point of view it's it's not like fast pace you don't get to the assassination until i'm assuming the last episode but like right now i'm like okay i have no clue how or why and i've been very tempted to go look it up and like to be reminded of how uh james garfield was assassinated and why but did you finish it or you're not too deep okay you're too deep got

i got two more but i do recommend it you need your michael bay moment i don't think i don't think I think this is going to make me like mad because everything like you read on it is it like how strange this assassination was and how we just weird like it's just like a, the name death by lightning. It's just very like, okay, what the fuck. So I'm very, very antsy to get to it. You got ran over by Lightning McQueen. Cachow.

That's not what happened. They might have been. Well, no. What happened was he was at a bonfire and Papa was in the house and there's this guy with this cloak on. That's the day of reckoning right there. recommend check it out how's a dynamite i might check that out too

i'm going to give it a shot i'm going to give a shot to her in my business watch a naked gun i want to i would like to know your take on it what there was a we had during the rent fair when we were sitting around the bonfire there was a austin powers tent shadow situation and it was hilarious it involved dan laying on his back and the way that his belt was sticking up it looked very much like it it was not his belt it was very funny were you guys on drugs yeah we all were all right he got out he was fully dressed i'm like oh that was your belt you guys classic damn you guys are fun um it's a fun chair company last night you need to watch as

last night's chair company was okay i enjoyed episode four quite a bit i'm just gonna tell you this is one of those just like, okay, well. Is it very Tim Robinson? Yeah, but also like, yeah, it is, but not, it's just, there's a lot. There's a lot. I haven't seen friendship yet, but like the first episode of Chair Company, it's only when I watch, I think part of the charm of Tim Robinson's, I think you should leave, is that it doesn't last too long, that that's my problem with the first episode, it was like,

it was getting too awkward at points where it's like a skit lasts like five minutes, It's like, okay, that was enough. But like, I don't know. Is it continue to be really awkward? Yeah, but not overly so. There's a, the thing with it is there's a lot of characters. There's a lot of like monologues that I'm like, oh, this was written, this is clearly like Tim Robbins, this is someone doing like Tim Robinson.

It feels like someone just reading a character, reading the lines as if they were, and I think you should leave sketch. There's people that do that on TikTok. where they like this presented as a Tim Robinson. It's pretty funny. They nail it. All right. We'll see tomorrow, exactly five minutes.

And we'll see in the morning for free. Bye. Bye. Thank you.
