Two-man booth. You're Joe Buck.

I'm Troy Aikman. Sports reference? Ooh. I kind of want to be Troy. You can be Troy. I feel like I'll be Joe Buck. I've got no issues with Joe Buck and his catalog, so that's a compliment. I feel the personal connection more so with number eight, Ocho, as I call him. I get it.

I get it. Are you, like, are you, I know Dylan's not jealous that I got to see Emmitt Smith at the Kentucky Derby because he was famously snubbed by Emmitt Smith as a child. He's got to get past that. It felt wasted on me. You ever have a celeb sighting like that where it feels wasted on you? It's like, man, if Dave was here right now, this would be way cooler. Pretty much every celeb sighting minus, I don't really count Chris Harrison.

We were at the same event as him, so it wasn't in passing. But yeah, I always feel like I could have done more with that. That could have been better. I famously saw Rudy Giuliani at the Brooks Brothers outlet in San Marcos in the year 2007 as he was driving to San Antonio for a GOP fundraiser when he was supposed to be the next president. It turns out he didn't even win the nomination, but he did get himself some out-of-mall ties. Was he in the fast slob section? I think that's where... No. Was he in the fast slob section?

I think that's where... No. Was it fast slobs? I just meant, like, you know, he was just gross. He was not that gross then. That's true. I mean, like, looking. I don't want to get too much into his looks. I apologize for shaming anybody,

but I think he deserves it at this point. I wouldn't do that to just anybody. I got uncomfortable, and I really shouldn't have been. I apologize for that. It feels good to be back. I'm very lightheaded. I've got some news for everybody. It's kind of breaking news, devastating news.

My Nespresso machine is still just broken. I'm raw-dogging every morning with my brain, just trying to be awake without coffee. Waiting to get to the office to drink your coffee is not the ideal way to do it. They say 90 minutes from the time you wake up to the time of your first cup of coffee. But you wake up very early. I don't know. It gives your body a chance to wake up on its own and you'll feel the effects more. This is some Huberman lab shit, Will, and I know you don't want to hear that, but someone told me that once. I'm more in on Huberman labs as long as it's by way of you. I sent Brett a... I'm not telling tales out of school. I sent him a Huberman labs that was entirely on psilocybin.

I sent it to him Saturday. He just never responded to me. Maybe he was just too deep. I always tell people that if I don't respond to a video that you send me, it's because I'm either watching it and then I move on or it's because it was so good that I'm showing my friends that I'm like, oh my God, this video is so funny. But in reality, I'm just probably not watching it at all. He was probably hanging out with his girlfriend.

Didn't really want to listen to a podcast at 8 o'clock at night on saturday a three-hour huberman on on magic mushrooms yeah just getting into the weeds talking about molecules and whatnot things of that nature i'll be honest if someone sends me a podcast to listen to there's a very very low chance that i'm ever going to actually listen to that yeah thinking about it now like that's that's pretty that's a big recommendation that's a big undertaking did you send it to him through apple podcast or spotify i don't remember i think it was apple and i think i just sent it no context like i didn't i didn't preface it it wasn't like hey, hey, man, check it out. It was just, here's a link to a podcast. He probably saw it and shook his head like, okay.

Okay, dude. Yeah. My boss is texting me podcast stuff on Friday night. Not just podcast stuff, drug podcast stuff. It's a real work hard, play hard. Are you nervous that we have an intern starting today? I honestly forgot. No offense. I had it on my calendar because I didn't want to forget.

I think I get more nervous about having a new intern start than like the actual intern does. I'm worried about the dynamic in the office. Hey, you know, Dylan likes to pat himself on the back for cleaning the bathroom. Since he's not here,

I clean the bathroom today. You didn't have to do that, Dave. It wasn't dirty. First of all, we don't have a dirty bathroom, but I just wanted to have that smell of bleach, ammonia, as if something, you know, like, so she thought, oh, these guys know what they're doing. They clean the bathroom.

Is it a little insulting that whenever somebody comes into our office, and like one of the times, like the person that I'm really thinking of is Dylan's dad. But there's been other people that we bring into the office and they look around and they're impressed in like a way that they're like, wow, you guys actually have like a pretty good looking office. Yeah. You guys actually keep it pretty. It doesn't smell like shit in here. Yeah.

Yes, absolutely. No, we get that every time. I want to give like Randy gets credit, all the credit for the studio. I think we do a pretty good job of self-policing the bullpen area. And we don't really hang out anywhere else i think the most neglected part of our entire uh outfit here is uh the kitchen area and the conference room which just never gets used mainly because all the chairs in the conference room all have screws that are like loose and falling out of the chairs whenever you sit down. Yeah. It's not ideal. No, and if you do happen to,

the only thing you get called out for really is if you do your Chipotle and you throw it away in the wrong trash can and we're smelling it the next day, then we'll call you out. But we've gotten a lot better about, there's trash cans, like the big trash cans outside

eight feet away from our door. Well, I felt bad. And I'm going to bring Randy in here right now because Randy will bring in breakfast burritos every once in a while. I actually respect that he packs his burritos and stuff. And one day, somebody threw out something in the garbage can. And over the weekend, it created one of the more brutal smells that we've ever had in the office. And I think because of Brandy's previous burritos, I think he might have been wrongly accused of this. Do you remember this moment? Oh, I was very wrongly accused.

I won't say who the accuser was, but I got pretty much told, like, you can't throw these away in these trash cans anymore. Was it me? Was it me? No, it wasn't you. Okay, because nobody here talks like that. Well, then I started to, like, rack my brain.

I was like, okay, like, have I had any meals that, like, might have i had any meals that like might have you know added to this and and sure enough i had gotten uh some grilled fish tacos earlier earlier in the week and randy completely got aired out because of it yeah it's interesting after two months of throwing my stuff away in that trash can this one time it smelled and i was like hmm well i've gotten to the point now where i know my my superpower is my sense of smell so if i walk in and like notice something i don't want to be the first to say it because there's a pretty good chance that i'm the only one smelling it and i don't want to sound

like i'm just bitching a bitch but that day it everybody had a look on their face like something was going on it was it was not good good. Well, so I came home. We were obviously in New York for retail therapy stuff, and I came home on Saturday. And there had been several people that were going in and out of our place. We had our childcare that was hanging out, doing her thing. We had our dog sitter who spent some time at our place, some time at her place.

And then we had my mother-in-law, who was also helping out with Fritz every once in a while. And when we walked in on Saturday, there was just a funky scent in the house. And it was just one of those things where it's like, man, I don't even know who to go to, to sort this out right now. And so we did everything you could do, take out the trash, you clean the countertops off, you flush the toilets, you do whatever. And finally, after just sitting there and burning every Sunday scary scented candle that I have, every single one, I finally was like, okay, we need to go buy a lemon and

put it down the... Let's have a lemon party. No, not really. So we cut up the lemon and we put it in the garbage disposal to freshen that up. And I think it actually worked. Citrus. Apparently that's a thing you can do. Acid, the acidity. So wait, just to be clear, you not only have lemon parties, but we learned that we'll raw dogs every morning is what he said earlier. My brain raw dogs reality now that I don't have an espresso machine. You got to put it like that. Raw dog in reality.

Sally bought a new Nespresso machine, but I told her I'd like to not take it out of the box yet because I think I might want to transition to being a pot of coffee guy. If we had a morning show, it could be raw dog and reality in the morning. You're raw dog. I'm reality. Dave. Is that, is this going to be on browsers? No.

Is it? Cause I'm over here. What is it? I don't know. Cause you're normally not the one. It's usually me, Dylanylan mainly kj on too much the issue is that martha stewart dropped heat this morning and i'm just through the roof yeah i didn't want to bring it up but we need to we need to i'm going to edge that story until the end of

the pod he's gonna edge it randy you're in this we got a big week big week this podcast week for one obviously tomorrow doing exactly five minutes.

And if you want your review read for Will's five-star review of the week, that happens every Wednesday. Go leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts. Did you hear your five-star is done by Randy? No. What'd you do to me, Randy? go leave a five-star review on apple podcast did you hear your uh five star as done by randy no

what'd you do to me randy uh i brought up that you and dylan are welching on a bet again that you guys haven't gotten your erasing stripe the hair the haircut i feel like people just stop talking about that and i want to make sure okay that's fair that's fair um what i need to do is i think we need to go through some different styles of haircuts and so i can really decide on what i need to get done will you will you get a south dallas shag what's that look it up south dallas shag i think oh i don't know if i can pull this off yeah i don't think you can yeah i i would love to see it i mean there's about 30 people like oh yeah i know what that is yeah no i don't think i don't think that i don't think like i can

physically do that okay yeah like we can look at some other haircuts yeah i'm willing to get a couple lines or something like i'll do something but dylan here's the issue me getting a weird haircut is much different than the bets that dylan is welching on that he's already been putting off and so i think in order for me to do mine i think I need him to get rid of one of them. The most bizarre thing about Dylan is that the company would pay for him to get an anal bleaching, which is a bet that he does owe from a previous employer and a previous podcast, but we still, Will and I have privity. It's been handed over via Ross. Anyway, we would pay for that. And I don't think it's expensive, 100 bucks maybe i don't know

and he could just get it done and he won't do it it'd be done if you offered to me if you said right now dave we'll never talk about the arby's polo that you welched on six years ago or whatever but you gotta go get this but we'll pay for it dude i'm there today i still don't understand how you got a smaller arby's polo than the one that you had there. I put on like 30 pounds of muscle. You've worn the other Arby's polo so often now that I've almost forgiven you for welching on the bet that night. It's not the same. Credit to you too, though. We were on a work trip that night.

We were with PGA Tour people, and it might have been a little inappropriate or weird if you showed up wearing like essentially you were lampshading in your Arby's polo. That is honestly – okay, Dave today would do it Dave back then I was still worried about like looking this is our first thing with the tour yeah and I wanted to like continue doing stuff with the tour we won't go down that road but um shout out to Michelle well they don't have they don't have a they don't have a an event anymore. It's a little more difficult to honor us. No, no, no. I know. It wasn't their fault. We did have some other opportunities, but we'll save that for another day. But yeah, I was like, I can't – it wasn't just a large Arby's. It was like an XXL that was like a Hal Sutton shirt on steroids.

Like the sleeves went down to my wrist, which is funny. You've probably seen the photo if you haven't but we also did a meet-up that night we also did like a small meet-up at the bar that we went to with the pga people so it would have been just weird all across the board yeah every photo of you at the bar like your shirt is just blousy as hell yeah it was like you can't just be out on jack's beach with uh a triple x arby's polo there's just so many you have to explain it the entire night like wait first of all why are you wearing an arby's polo second why is it so ludicrously large it's a capaciously large arby's it was thank you It's time.

talk, Dave, what'd you get into this weekend? I wish like 20 years ago I had purchased the stamps.com URL, a domain. It's probably very valuable. Yeah, I wish I would have squatted on some more domains back in the day. I always think about like, oh, man, I could have done that. Yeah. I could have got that. Yeah. My weekend, Will, it was very low-key. I feel like I watched more of your weekend via social media

than did anything of note from mine. Obviously, the main event was Mother's Day, which we did. It was very low key we picked up fajitas we went mixed we went combo seafood or nah daddy beef mommy chicken the i'm not gonna dox a place where you got your uh fajitas from oh yeah we need to talk about that what what i sent to the group oh so but uh like and i normally i'm not a big chicken fajita person i think the chicken gets overcooked they keep their chicken so juicy and well done like not well done in the it's moist literal sin yeah it's the moistest

chicken they got it's phenomenal um you know friday we went and brett and i went and grabbed a beer a couple beers and some bourbon with our buddy Ryan. We went to a place down the street. I don't even remember the name. Some place that's in the Lauren Hotel. It's new. Very fancy, but not super expensive. Just a cool spot.

I received a text message of you sitting at said bar. I haven't seen the photo. It was a good photo. I mean, I wouldn't. All right. I don't want to see it. I wouldn't that you like story it or anything but i asked where you were and i was like yeah i don't know where that is that's like me every like every anyone that i talked to in new york this last weekend i'd be like oh where do so where do you live in

the city and they'd tell me i'd be like oh right on it's like i don't fucking know what that means you say soho is that a thing i stay we stayed in we were we bopped around soho for a little bit okay my uh my knowledge of New York City is so pathetic. I'm more of a Ruby Soho guy. Oh yeah. Destination unknown. So Sunday, when it came time to go get the food with this particular place, it's, they say every time you put in an order, it's 45 minutes. So I like to do the move where I put in the order and it's, I'm not even hiding this from my wife. She knows I, she knows now I go immediately because most times it's not ready and I will go sit at the bar and I'll watch whatever sporting events on. You're putting the heat on them. I may listen to a Huberman labs. I may listen.

Stop. I don't know. I went to a bar the other day that had a sign on the wall that in Brett would have walked out of this place immediately had a sign on the wall that then Brett would have walked out of this place immediately had a sign on the bar it said no cell phones no laptops at the bar and I was like

I love I love this place it's not Brett's scene it's not his scene at all posted up at the bar I thought I'd only have a few minutes so I had ordered one drink

and I was like hey man it's this bartender he's always there he's a good dude older guy I was like do you have like an Añejo you recommend? It's Añejo season.

Micah told us that a long, long time ago. And he gave me one. I was like, I just do at Rocks? He's like, yeah. So he brought me what can only be described as a preposterous pour a, a tequila on the rocks, but it wasn't in a cocktail glass. It was just in their, their normal, like 16 ounce water glass. The whole thing was filled up. Disgusting. I don't know if I paid for a double. I don't think I did, but I just sat there. I was like, okay, thanks. I mean, like, I hate, I'm not going to complain about the absurd Dylan Chivary-esque pour.

I don't, I don't order liquor on the rocks on Sunday evenings. So like you doing that in the first place threw me off. I was like that, I don't know how you're doing this right now. Well, outside of the one beer that I had and the bourbon that I had Friday afternoon, the only thing I drank all weekend was tequila. Just either straight, either neat, or on the rocks. Were you just walking around with your clothes just falling off at all times?

Alyssa was like, what is going on? She made the mistake of asking me on a straight tequila night multiple times. And I was just like, you shouldn't do that. Well, obviously, everyone knows it's on on yeho season which is a style of aged tequila that's been aged anywhere from one to three years typically in oak barrels yeah your knowledge of that is astounding well that that story kind of ends there i was there waiting for my food i did drink it and that was the only drink i had yesterday i sent it and will goes that's a

psychotic order on a Sunday evening. And I was like, you know, in retrospect, I get it. I get it. No, I've had a bourbon hankering lately. I don't know why, but it's not serving me very well. Is it because you had a dope trip to Kentucky Derby

and got to go to like... That might've been it. A distillery. You drank Pappy, I believe. I did recently acquire a bottle of A Yeho though because it was on Yeho season yeah good I don't think Micah would totally like be okay with it being on Yeho season as it starts getting hotter and hotter and hotter outside I think that's more of like a cool weather thing for him yeah but I'm gonna still I'm gonna keep riding it that's okay uh you know

man other than that very low-key I didn't I didn didn't make it out. I just stayed in, took roads to soccer. He had his, he had what I would call his best soccer class, soccer practice, soccer class yesterday, meaning he didn't pick up the ball and just try to run with it. That's big. No handballs. That's big. Um, didn't kick over cones attempted at least in some to go between them and the drills instead of just picking them he loves cones kids love cones that's something i've learned but well i'm going to yield my time to you because i think you had a better weekend than i did i i had a good weekend um we barrett and i we had an extended weekend uh barrett and i took off on tuesday night to go to new york to go do

our retail therapy event with nordstrom we're going to do a full breakdown of the event and the event will be live later this week on the uharies feed. But we went there and we really had front loaded the entire time with work. And it was fun. I mean, Wednesday was Wednesday was a day where we were like, OK, let's go have some lunch. We had a touristy lunch in the neighborhood where we were staying and we decided to go to the event. And I want to give a big thank you to all the backers out there, to all the touchers out there, the day one touchers. There's a dude who said that he started listening to Touching Bass in high school. There were some D1Ts?

Yeah, there were some D1Ts in the mix, which was great. But there were so many people that were there for other reasons besides retail therapy that just spoke to just wash media in general. It was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. Did they coordinate your fits? Or was this something you got to just wear what you wanted, but you had to select from their collection? We did a styling thing with them through Nordstrom. They set us up with personal stylists

in Austin that set out a bunch of clothes for us and we got to go to a styling session. So they chose it all for us. That's sick. Yeah. I was a little anxious as you get before speaking in public and so i pit it out really hard at by the end of the night you have to yeah did you do any adderall or anything just a really full throttle no i just i i knew i would be naturally sweaty just either way so i just did that what's the opposite of doing adderall like i think xanax yeah did you do any okay i didn't do any xanax either no no no beta block? I just did both at once so I could choose to feel like anything.

Yeah, you just went full meltdown. Yeah. No, that's great, man. It looked awesome. It was sweet. We had a ton of people there. I mean, it was really fun. We had Keegs and Khans from Barstool stop by.

That was fun to meet them for the first time. Keegs and Khans. They've been friends of the Washed Media family for a while now, so that was good. Both have been guests on Happy Hour Live. Noted Bachelor tweeter Cat Pat popped over. We had a whole crew in there. It was really fun. I think they were very ready for us to leave by the end of the event. They were like, okay, guys, the store has been shut down for a while now, so let's get you guys out of here. Got it. Let me ask you, what was your favorite meal in New York City?

We went to a place called Thai Diner, which was, we went for lunch and it's a Thai restaurant and it was just great. I think all the meals that we had were really good. We ate at a bunch of different places. I'll have to get a list of places and I'll put it somewhere because I know people are going to ask. Is this the place that's like classic Thai dishes and drinks by a lauded restaurant group in a kitschy, cool dinner style setting? Dude, I think that might be the one yeah what is kitschy cool uh honestly it makes sense now that i've been there everything inside was very intentional when it came to um setting the scene for you everything was very cool uh but part of the reason it was my favorite meal is because every single dish that we got was unique and then everything else i ate in new york was pretty much like fish or pizza. I only played my Zot card one time.

That's okay. In New York. Where'd you go? Place called Emmett's. They're known for their kind of thicker Chicago style, Randy. I know you're the Chicago style king, but we got their thin crust pizza. I love that move.

Somebody described it as being high-end Domino's, and once we got it in front of us, we were like, actually, this is perfect, and it tastes great. I have no problem with high-end Domino's as a descriptor. I did get Via 313 last night as my first Zah card play of this week. I don't know.

I think I might need to get away from Detroit style for a little bit. You just need a break. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I thought you were going to get away from Detroit style for a little bit. You just need a break. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I thought you were going to say you wish you had got Jets. Because Jets is very good.

I said that after. I told Sal, I was like, we should have just gone Jets, man. It's cheaper and, I mean, almost as good, if not as good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the two big things that happened, I had two celebrity sightings, Dave. Dude. So after the event, we kind of needed to cool out a little bit.

So we went to dinner. We had dinner with some friends. And then Barrett and I were still kind of wired from the event. Like, I get real energetic. And so Gian, who we interviewed during the event, he's the men's fashion director for Nordstrom. He was like, I'd love to have a drink with you guys after, talk some shop, become friends a little bit. And so we were like, cool, let's go to the spot. We went to an iconic bar in New York called Fresnelli's.

And so Barrett and I get there first. We go in. We order a martini each, probably the strongest martini we've ever had. It just knocked us out immediately. But we were standing at the bar, and then we walked outside, had a conversation for a second. And when we walked back into the bar, we're standing there trying to order a drink for Gian. And we look over to our right and who is sitting down right next to us, but Chris Rock. Chris Rock is just sitting at a table alone. And we didn't even see him first. We were looking at his basket of fries going,

man, they've got good looking fries here. And then we looked at who was eating them. Is he tiny? No, he was very normally sized. Okay. He had AirPods in, no drink in front of him, just the french fries and maybe a glass of water. And he was just writing in his notebook.

And it was like, man, we're seeing an artist right now just in the brainstorming stage. Dude, what if you end up in a bit in his next stand-up? It's very possible. You'd be embarrassed. He and I locked eyes one time, and I did that thing where you lock eyes with somebody, and then you go like, oh, what?

Dude, I hate that. Because he knew. I mean, he knew. He knew. But what do you do? I wasn't gawking at him, but I looked over to see if he was still there, and he was kind of looking in our direction, and it was just one of those things. That's A- knew. But what do you do? I wasn't gawking at him, but I looked over to see if he was still there, and he was kind of looking in our direction. It was just one of those

things. That's A-list. It was a glance. That's A-list, Will. A-list. So I'm assuming your next live sighting is kind of a more off the beaten path, someone no one's ever heard of. Yeah, no one's ever heard of this guy either. And so the next day, we're at our hotel, and my buddy goes down to the hotel bar to have a drink with me. I'm getting out of the shower, so I tell him, go grab a table and I'll be right down. We sit down and there's a clearly better table that we could have sat at. And I'm like, why don't we sit at this table? And he said, well, there's a glass of wine on that table that's reserved. It's reserving it for somebody. And I was like, well, that's an interesting way of reserving a table. I guess that looks better than a reserve sign.

But just an empty glass? No, it's a glass of a stoutly poured glass of red wine. That's a power move. Love it. Yeah. It's a really good way of saving a table for someone. And so I didn't really know what to think of it. But I knew that Robert De Niro was a part owner of the hotel that we were staying in.

And I made a joke to my friend. I was like, yeah, it's probably De Niro or something. Like, whatever. We start laughing. Not 30 minutes later, I look over at somebody walking in the restaurant. And it's Robert fucking De Niro or something like whatever we start laughing um not 30 minutes later I look over at somebody walking in the restaurant and it's Robert fucking De Niro dude when you texted me I so first of all when you did that night Saturday I watched Casino just because you sent me that dude I'm about to go on a De Niro absolute tear so he is tiny right he wasn't tiny is he not tiny

no Pacino's tiny he was he knows yeah Pacino's tiny okay uh different people De Niro, absolute tear. So he is tiny, right? He wasn't tiny. Is he not tiny? No. Pacino's tiny. Pacino's tiny. Okay. Different people. De Niro was not tiny. Honestly, he was kind of like any other 81-year-old man that you'd ever – I don't know how old he is. Let's see.

79. Robert, he's 79. And he just had – did you hear our segment on him last week? I'm very aware of what's happening with him. He too, I mean, is very thankful for mothers as he has... Does he have several baby mamas? No, I don't know. The one he's with now, I think they have multiple kids, but I mean, she's pregnant as we speak.

Well, so he, I mean, he was just sitting there. He had his son with him. He was just kind of looking at his phone, ordering some food, hanging out, whatever. He was very nice to all the waitstaff, I will say that. He tipped the waitstaff, not very publicly, but I saw what he did, and I was like, okay, they're taken care of. Does he tip in Bitcoin? He tips in cash. Okay.

And they're single bills, and they are voluminous in size. He gives them giant checks like they won a golf tournament after they weighed on them. Yeah, there's a lot of fanfare. But outside of that, it was like, man, what a 24 hours of celeb sightings. Like Chris Rock and Robert De Niro. Okay.

I felt so New York. Which one would you have been more likely to approach? Like who would have been an easier approach? Because Chris Rock has got headphones in. De Niro's with his son. Headphones in, writing. You can't approach someone like that. No, he's in the zone.

Yeah. If Chris Rock had been ordering a drink next to us, I might have been like, Chris Rock. Okay. De Niro with his son changes things. When you're with a kid you can't really do that that's why i didn't approach uh beto exactly chick-fil-a lax and so neither of them felt good i think if i had to do one i think i would have gone to nero as he was leaving just

because he was kind of more a little more free with his time and talking to people. Dude, with somebody like that, what could you possibly say that differentiates you from the 45,000 other people who have approached him in the last decade? Nothing. Nothing. Last five decades. And the hotel, you could only have a drink in the bar area that we were in

if you were staying at the hotel. And so he clearly knew it was a very private thing that he was doing, having a drink there. And so it was just like, I can't, I can't blow up his spot right now. I applaud you for not being a, uh, pull your camera out, try to sneak a photo. Cause if you, if you get sniped, taking a pic of De Niro in his hotel, dude, I mean, they're not going to kick you out, but dude, it just changes your entire dynamic. It was two

close quarters and there were too few people around. I mean, it was me, Sally, a couple from Michigan that is one of my best friends ever, and my sister-in-law, Emily. And it was just us sitting there. And then the only other two people that were there that weren't working there was De Niro and his son. And it was like, we can't do this. Was Tube Sox there? Tube Sox wasn't there. That would have been big for everybody. It was Brady, right?

Can we talk about that? Yes. Yeah. It was my main man, Brady. Looked like he's doing great. He was killing it. Very happy for Brady. He was killing it. He did call me out. He was like, stop looking at Robert De Niro over my shoulder. And I was like, yeah, you know I am. Would you call him

Bob? Bobby! Oh, Bob! What if I sent a shot of tequila over to his table? Was the glass of wine for him? I didn't actually notice. I don't know. I didn't think about that. One of the... It was just cool

we were about to leave and i told my buddy i was like we got to have one more beer because i just want to be in the presence of a goat for longer than like two seconds i mean argues arguably excuse me um i mean he's a top five male actor of the last 40 years yeah yeah fell 50 years like it's crazy it's it just was one of those things where I was like, you know, I don't want to like go talk to him.

I don't want to hope that like I can say something to him or anything like that. I just wanted to be in the presence of someone like that to make myself feel even cooler. You were kind of

into Nero's crew. Yeah. Yeah. You should have told him you're Will Pesci. You went Pesco on him one time. Hey man,

I loved your work in The Intern with Anne Hathaway. Like, what's the worst De Niro movie that you can be like dude that was my favorite movie um i don't even remember that one so that's probably it i mean i brett has uh transformed me into a hathaway guy so i think i have to uh ride with that i have no issues with hathaway it's dylan doesn't like hathaway right i don't know i don't want i don't want to put words in his mouth but man i loved your work in dirty grandpa dirty grandpa not good is that with johnny knoxville i think so why he didn't have to do that no no no that that's bad grandpa

with uh zach efron and like he's takes his son to like spring break hey man i loved i loved your uh your other movie uh the war with grandpa from 2020 that debuted on hulu somehow missed that one dude you should have just gone out what's the most generic thing you could have said just walk up like dude man loved you in the godfather yeah yeah you're working the godfather hey man goodfellas was awesome i don't know i don't think you get the credit you deserve my main fear was that if i said he wasn't in goodfellas was awesome. I don't know. I don't think you get the credit you deserve. My main fear was that if I said anything. He wasn't in Goodfellas. I'm at Casino.

I'm sorry. My fear was that if I said anything to him and I messed up, that he would have been like, oh, yeah. Like, looked at me and kind of like, give me like, okay. And then he would have walked immediately to the front desk and been like, hey, make sure room 506's keys don't work anymore. They're done. He's got that kind of pull.

He does. He does. Well, I'm happy for you, man. sixes keys don't work anymore they're done he's got that kind of pull he does he does but well i'm happy for you man it was it's way better than any celeb brett's claim to have seen i don't know he did see the he did get to see the kid from uh sandlot i was there it wasn't that special he was just hanging out eating dinner deniro is 100 in goodfellas oh yeah he is in goodfellas he's on the cover yeah Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know why I botched that. I've seen both those movies. Ray Shioda is also in that.

But again, I want to reiterate, thank you to anyone who showed up. There were so many backers there, so many people that came up that were like, dude, started listening for PGP Day, stuff like that. It was really cool. That is cool.

It solidified that we need to do a WASH media new york event because if there's any like people were all these people were like thank god you guys finally did something new york like about time and they were absolutely right so we need we need to be better about that um i'm gonna i'm gonna latch on and i'm gonna say something about my weekend and fun i woke up at 4.30 this morning and could not fall back asleep. So I feel like I need to explain myself. My performance is a little under par or a little above par, I guess, depending on how you look at it, if you're into the golf thing. That's it. And then I went to the gym and I didn't work out. I just went and sat in the sauna for 45 minutes with a couple of breaks in between. Have you considered taking AG1, Dave? Can I tell you the truth? I forgot to take it this morning. And that's part of it.

That's probably why you're slacking. That's why I just forgot De Niro was in Goodfellas. That's really embarrassing. I mean, Dave, I know that's like when you wake up at four 30 in the morning, you got a kid at home, you need more energy.

I am very excited for what we're about to do, Dave.

Yeah, I'm bummed Dylan's not here to talk about it, but I like this episode so much. I will definitely be watching it again. Of course, we're talking about Succession, episode 8. I've been having trouble every Sunday night, Dave. And this is not me speaking to how I think this season of Succession has been. I think it's been supreme. I've been having trouble staying awake

late enough to finish the episodes. My eyes have been getting heavy. Last night I told myself, Will, you're sitting at a 90 degree angle. You're sitting straight up the entire time. You're not laying in bed doing this. You're sitting straight up and you're watching this episode i didn't even need to do that i was so i was so torqued up for this episode once we started getting into the weeds of it this is this was election night this was tense this was start to

finish full on um a full throttle you're in the newsroom you're in the war room i uh man i really thought i made the mistake of thinking that kendall was gonna do the right thing and he didn't nope and i guess that's on me because it's like have you not watched this show these are horrible people i mean we finally got to see greg and Tom do cocaine together. We've been waiting for it. The fact that they didn't do it in the club the night that they went to, I think, I don't know if it was the bachelor party time, but when they went out together and ate those birds and went to the club and just looked at everyone from the VIP section, like they should have done it that night. But last night we finally got to see him do it alone in the office. Did you know when he said,

like, do you have that stuff that I asked for? Did you know it was cocaine? I did not. Part of me was like, there's no way Tom's just going to do blow. I thought maybe it was going to be some Adderall. There is an Adderall shortage famously. Famously. But yeah, that was a good scene. But you know what? How about you go to the bathroom? You don't have to hide behind your whiteboard. If you are literally in charge of ATN, if you're the one calling the election for atn you have numerous places you can just go to coke in right if you're ahead of that newsroom you should have shades that you can just hit a button and it'll yes you want a smart home yeah yeah like even if if i was ahead of atn and someone saw me doing cocaine in the office i I'd be like, well, no, you didn't.

Honestly, like if that's the worst thing that someone's doing at ATN, just doing a little blow so they can get through the election, I think they're fine. It's a weird episode from the perspective of just the plot line mimicking something familiar. Sure, sure. something familiar sure sure um you have uh roman going all in with the um who they painted as the hard right candidate minkin minkin and roman's roman spiraling like we've been saying it like okay this this his dad dying he's not dealing with the grief properly and now he's just absolutely he's gone he's been an inconsequential shitbag for this entire time now that he's in charge there's consequences to his shitbaggery and i don't like that no and i always thought that he would end up being um the one better than kendall a better guy than kendall and like now it's like

he just he's just unhinged kendall at least is like somewhat self-aware and has is a little bit introspective and we're like he doesn't do anything to correct his behavior um but he knows he's not a good dad but he worries about it whereas like roman roman is just he's just all in dude he's he is clearly out because now he's he clearly out because now he's in with the president-elect for now. Don't know what's going to happen with that. And, like, he's got a clear path to the throne. If he's in with, like, the president, like, that's going to bode well for him long term. I don't like it. I don't like it either.

I thought it was weird because I thought Shiv was going to distance further from Mattson. No, she's in bed with him. But she's in bed with him. Might even be his baby. We finally got that news drop. Tom, I will say that I don't think Tom handled it like you want your husband to handle it. He's cold, man. He's a killer.

I don't think Tom handled it like you want your husband to handle it. He's cold, man. He's a killer. But he did ask a valid question because it is not above a Roy to make something like that up for sake of winning an argument. I was in such shock when Sally told me that she was pregnant with Fritz that I don't think my reaction was much better than his. I was like, what? I hope it was. Really?

Really? I was so in shock that I was like, I don't know if I can actually believe this right now. What's going on? It did not affect him in the least. It could have been the blow. I think that there's a decent chance that Tom ends up with the company. I don't have a route there,

but I think that he knows that he can do what he wants. He said something last night, and I don't know if it'll come back, but he said something last night in a way that made me think, okay, we could go back to this moment and think that this was an important moment. Or it could be just nothing. But when he was talking to Greg about when you have information, you take that information and you bury it until you don't need to bury it anymore. It's like a bottle of wine. Exactly.

When he was talking about that, the first question I had was, I asked Sally, does he know that Kendall has killed someone? I don't think he does unless Shiv has told him. But I think that Tom has enough information at this point that he could take out any bits of information and sink any of the people in the family and he could eventually come out pretty scot-free from this. I think that's accurate. And if Tom ended up on top of this, because look, ATN called Michigan. They called the election. Their ratings are probably astounding. They

probably won the night. The stock price is probably through the roof. The markets responded. And so, yeah, Tom won unless something happens in the next two episodes where, like, I don't know. The ballots got out of the fire, the voting center in Milwaukee. Something comes out where they should not have called Michigan for whatever. For whatever the guy's name is. Ramirez?

No, the other dude. Minkin. Minkin. Why do I keep wanting to call him McCracken? Bigger and McCracken. It's Minkin. Well, I'm watching another TV show right now. I kept on mixing names up last night

when I was trying to get clarity with Sally. The one thing they have done a terrible job of, especially in last night's episode, is expressing which candidate is which. I didn't even know when they were on the screen which one was which at first. And I didn't know. But I'm also dumb. So that helps too. I also, if they're doing election coverage, they have pictures of the candidates up at

all times. Last night in the episode, they never had any pictures of the candidates. It all times. Last night in the episode, they never had any pictures of the candidates. It was all just words and stuff. It's a little tough. Visual learner. Kendall is just, this is breaking news. He is not really a leader.

He's not capable of being a CEO. I want him to take a step back from the company. I want him to be on a mountaintop meditating like Don Draper at the end of Mad men he is um he is the ultimate deer in headlights he did not know he did not take control of the situation the only assertive thing he did was slap tom on the wrist for yelling at shiv in that meeting when you're like and that gives you a little bit of hope you're like oh dude okay kendall's about to like not completely fuck this up and then

Shiv does one of the worst fake phone calls of all time one of the worst how do you do that and then Greg comes in Greg

fresh off getting threatened by Shiv just he spills it to Kendall didn't even take much he looks in there and dude he's like fuck it greg's tom dude he's a killer too yeah yeah yeah have you seen the news about uh cousin greg the allegations yes not great a little bit not great no uh there was talk about trying to

go to his bar in new york but we didn't there's a bar with justin thoreau yeah yeah when when someone told me justin thoreau i thought they were talking about justin trudeau and i thought it was really weird that the president of canada owned a bar with Justin Theroux? Yeah. When someone told me Justin Theroux, I thought they were talking about Justin Trudeau, and I thought it was really weird that the president of Canada owned a bar with Cousin Greg. It's called Castro's? I was like, what's going on? That would actually be kind of a fire name for a bar.

That's a dope name. Dude, let's go to Castro's. Especially if your dad's weirdly Fidel Castro. We should start a bar named Castro's, but not tell people it's actually because of Fidel Castro, and people just think that it's Castro's. Okay. I like that.

Yeah. Do you think, I don't really have many other thoughts on this episode other than I'm excited to have two more episodes to tie this all up um yeah it's interesting you're watching like Shiv and you're wondering like how much of Shiv's pleas to Kendall to like not call the election to not call Michigan um how much of that was it michigan or wisconsin both i think both were up both both states famously will did you know that yeah yeah totally um you wonder like how much of that is like is real like her concern for democracy and the

republic and all that and how much of it is it but she just wants this deal to go through with madsen um but who knows man we will find out more madsen's fucked right i love the political stuff yeah yeah he is i think he's fucked but how many more episodes we got two two last night was eight uh and i've been told i have not actually confirmed but i've been told that there's 10 episodes this season last season was only only nine. I need Stewie back. Dude, such a severe lack of Stewie. I know we couldn't force Stewie into last night, but maybe a phone call. I would watch a Stewie spinoff.

I would absolutely. I'd entertain it. Why do I like Stewie so much? He's great. I think it's because his name's Stewie. He also just is like, he's kind of an asshole, but like he seems to know what he's doing. So it's kind of, you kind of lean into it. He's a competent asshole. Have you watched anything else?

There's a lot of incompetent assholes in the show. I had a lot of time on planes over the last couple weeks, and I've started some other shows. I've really caught up on Dave with Lil Dicky, and I started Beef last night, the new Ali Wong show on Netflix. I watched some of that with Alyssa. I'm excited to dip into episode two tonight.

Okay. I also finished Next Level Chef. What did you guys think of the finale of Next Level Chef? I know you guys are super into it. Dave, it's Gordon Ramsay, dude. Get in. Randy's asleep over there. He probably got a grandma from Dan's birthday party.

Happy birthday, Dan. Happy birthday, Dan Regester. Can we talk about the $75,000 toddler parties that people are having per the New York Times, the failing New York Times? In Los Angeles, children's birthday celebrations have spiraled into many weddings now i'm not going to take you through this entire article but it does have some highlights because um the first party that they describe is a fire station themed party which that's mega cute firefighters kids love the fire trucks it was a fire fight. Boondock States.

This one included fire hose backpacks, a custom ball pit, and 14 vendors, a 20-foot-wide wooden backdrop with an acrylic door. They got permits from the city of Los Angeles to block the street for guest parking and food trucks. There was a beverage station with customized drink stirs and signature to-go cocktails for parents, one entitled What the Fire Truck. Doesn't say what that entails. Kind of bad journalism. Dude, I love an F-bomb whatever at a toddler party.

Love it. Edgy. You got to have something for the parents in there, a little Easter egg. This is for a six-year-old, by the way, a professional photographer and videographer following the six-year-old around. That's actually very drippy and swaggy. I kind of wish I had that like at all times at like my birthday parties. It's a little much, but my favorite part was when they interviewed the parents and they said this was scaled back from the fifth birthday party,

and they said this was scaled back from the fifth birthday party, which was hibachi themed with real hibachi chefs and pyrotechnics and fire dancers. Sick. This is somehow becoming more and more worth it to me to have a $75,000 party. Do five-year-olds do hibachi? I don't know. NF confession, I've never actually done hibachi because it's never been available to me. What, Randy? Say it. I can't believe you just admitted that. I'm not proud of it, but it's also on y'all. It's also on you guys. It's on Austin.

Austin doesn't have a really good hibachi place. No. And we had to cancel my backyard hibachi birthday last year because of inclement weather. It was 42 degrees outside. But what better meal to have outside than hibachi with fire going everywhere? Catch a couple shrimp. birthday last year because of inclement weather it was 42 degrees outside i wish i would have done a better meal to have like outside than hibachi with fire going catch a couple shrimp literal volcano warm your ass up yeah i don't know if austin ever does get a good hibachi place it's gonna be like 300 a head something stupid omakase hibachi it's gonna be a hibachi uh it's gonna be

a hybrid it's gonna be like a hibachi and like gourmet fried chicken or something if i've learned if i learned anything in new york it's that we are officially paying new york prices in austin for everything everything like except except like we also have to own cars that we drive around and pay car insurance and stuff like that where they just have apple pay subway now which is the most convenient thing in the world did you take the subway i did i did you did you end up memed memes for you? No, I thought I might get memed on the subway. We'll see. There's still some time. Yeah, there's plenty of time. They spoke with a 31-year-old attorney who did an Italian-themed party for her kid with

tablescapes accented with lemons and blue and white Italian-style ceramics and a faux boxwood wall backdrop. They talked to the head of a company called Mesh, M-E-S-H, Customized Ball Pits. They recently hired a mechanical engineer after doing the Kardashians' birthday party to develop a color-sorting technology for the 40,000 balls it uses every weekend. That's fucking stupid. So basically, they did Kourt kardashian's kid's birthday and then their business exploded i actually kind of i i was going to say this but i forgot to i kind of blame the kardashians in general for this because they're the ones doing like a full-on astro world like party stuff like them in this apparently they did something that

they called kid chela yes and uh there's a ferris wheel, and it said an unfortunate Indian headdress, Native American headdress. Yeah, you can't do that. Which I don't remember the uproar from that. But close it out real quick. The punctuator, they talked to one in-demand planner. These people are banking, by the way. Can you imagine being a toddler, like a kid wedding, or sorry, a kid birthday party planner. That's such an unnecessary position.

It really is. Like if Sally was trying to get permits, if it got to the point where Sally's like, oh, yeah, we need to get permits for Fritz's birthday. That's when I start. That's when I throw a flag. I draw the line at permits. Yeah. I'm like, we don't need a permit. What are you doing?

No. Franny Hudson, the in-demand planner, recently threw a Ruth Bader Ginsburg theme party for a one-year-old. Shout out to RBG. Shout out to her family. Yeah, shout out to the theme party for a one-year-old who definitely knows about the patriarchy. It's the first I'm hearing of it.

Yeah, it was Tiny tiny dancer just playing the entire thank you uh new york times i feel like i did go to a birthday party when i was a kid where they got the fire department to just show up with a truck like the fire engine like i feel like if we we have a fire station right down the street from our office i feel like if we walk down to them we were like hey we're having some like our our two sons are coming to the office today. They're similar age. They're about two to each. Like, can you just can you just drop by? They're bored enough, dude. That's not a horrible idea. I know I would like to just bring roads by. We should just bring them by someday and just be like, hey, can we pop in?

Do you think they'd let us pop in? I think that they're open to the public quite often. I've told my roommate that we should just go on the fire truck and do a video thing. He's like, yeah, people do that all the time. Do you think he would let us just get hit in the chest by the firehouse like they do in Jackass and just clear us out? Probably. Because that would honestly be kind of sick. I did see it when we were in New York in our little green room thing,

Barrett and I, I saw one of the most incredible backup park jobs I've ever seen, and it was a fire engine. Oh, hell yeah. There's a reason that they call New York Fire Department the best in the world. I have never seen anything like this guy just whipping it and reversing it.

That's pro. It was so sick. He had no room for error in this garage parking spot, and the way that he just busted it in there, it was incredible. Do you get anxiety thinking about having to park in New York? Yes. We walked by numerous ones where they have the parking lots that have levels that you have to bring the cars down from. They're just the ugliest things in the world. I hate it. I question anyone driving a car in New York. I'm'm like how much do you pay to park every day just seems depressing it sounds terrible

just driving in new york sucks like it's faster to walk places where did y'all fly into we went to jfk okay he famously died in dallas yeah he did he was assassinated have you seen that tweet going around that's talking about it's like no one, and then the next line just says graphics at bowling alleys. And it's like the graphic just showing

essentially hot dogs with JFK's face on it getting shot. What? I'll find this for you. I was cracking up last night. I was one early bird deep as well. That might have aided in some way. Shout out to early bird. I'm glad this article came

out because next year when Sally's trying to plan Fritz's birthday party again with yet another theme. First year we did Wilmont's. Next year we did Masters. I'm going to send her this article and say we're getting too close to this. We're trending cowboy. Maybe Toy Story themed. I've watched every Toy Story now multiple times.

The last month, he's obsessed. We got him a Woody doll. That's big. We made the mistake the first night. We let him bring it in the crib and sleep with it. And then we heard a noise, and he was just in there pulling the drawstring that's why i was just hearing there's a snake in my boot and this is like what was that and it's like oh it's we let him sleep with the the freaking woody doll yeah you can't let him sleep with something with audio

We got some of these in the mail, Dave. And when I got them out, I tossed them on my feet to see if they would fit, like you do. And I have to admit, they were the most... I was so shocked by how comfortable they were that it was just a no-brainer. They're officially my shoe of comfort. They are my gym shoe.

I like them because they have the flat sole and they breathe. And after I wear them for a few months, I toss them in the washer. That's the best part. Don't have to do anything special. Just toss them in there, wash them, take them out, let them air dry. Boom. They're easy. Brand new.

Emily Ratajkowski. No, I want that experience. I want some years under your belt. Oh, dude. My swings, man. Yeah, dude. Oh, yeah. Real original.

Yeah. Cool, dude. Cool. You and every other dude named Chad. No offense, Chad. What would you do if like, if you actually determined that you had a hall pass with your wife and then like, you're actually in a social situation with them? But it's only, I'm the only one who has, does not have one it's just me yeah it's like oh

maybe you have to choose a couple i would do a bit like like like like this is kind of a bit if you go 81 that's you're doing a you're doing a bit i think you should i think they should have an app where you have to lock it in and like you have to lock in your hall pass with your wife and then you have to like let it sit there for X amount of days before it becomes your actual hall pass. You can't just switch willy nilly. Like, oh, like I'm with this person. You're saying there's like a loading phase? Yeah.

Well, kind of like an anti-loading phase. That happens later. Yeah. The loading phase is later in life. She looks great. Happy for her. She's doing great. I'm so happy that this exists.

I'm so happy that Martha is i'm so happy that martha is just absolutely thriving in her golden years did she did she do something we share a scaries or something was it her yes she did it in like the most 81 year old way possible she screenshot and uploaded the screenshot which i just do the share button so people can click through on it martha please yeah but hey the fact that i'm on her radar is enough for me. You could probably get her. I wonder if she's been visiting my profile at all. There's a decent chance, right?

I don't know. She's like, I don't care. I mean, she's like a Mount Rushmore guest for me on Scaries. Imagine if you ran into her and Bob De Niro at the same time. We would have been having a threesome in my hotel room. Okay. What? Fuck. and bob de niro at the same time we would have been having a threesome in my hotel room okay what the fuck you don't like the idea of me and bobby no yeah you can't hang with bobby man do you think bobby's ever hooked up with martha you know they've run in the same circles before i think it's a possibility yeah. But I don't know.

You know, his current lady is like a martial arts instructor of some sort. That's tight. So he might have a tight. That's real tight. Yeah. I've never dated a martial arts instructor. No, but we don't have to do that. No, no, no.

Oh, man. Can we talk about the other H the other uh h on the tl okay yeah from the weekend real quick did you did you see this this was big like friday or saturday and of course i'm talking about the uh young lady whose uh neighbors are just getting after it all day all day every day all. So much so that she can't sleep. She tweeted out, guys, I think I'm finally going to leave my neighbors a note about them fucking all day, every day. I can't do it anymore. I'm losing my mind. I literally can't enter my bedroom without hearing them effing.

I just don't want to say the word multiple times. I get it. I get it. I'm for you i'm a class right now i'm classy and they're keeping me up at night and waking me up in the morning it's insane so i've never encountered this but she went on to try to remedy the situation extend an olive branch uh she tweets i was shaking my boots, creeping over there to put this on their doorstep, but it has been done. And it is a screenshot of what I assume is a, whatever,

it's a Snapchat of a letter she wrote. And there's two Coronas, two unopened Coronas next to it. The letter reads, hey neighbors, just a friendly reminder that the walls between our houses are much thinner than you might think. Congrats to you guys for your apparently, all caps, very underlined, healthy sex life. Seriously, good for you. However, I would prefer not to be a part of it, and I'm sure you'd both prefer that as well. I don't know. I applaud you both for your stamina. However, it's gotten to the point that it's interfering with my sleep schedule. So I figured it was time to say something.

Please accept these beers as a peace offering slash bargaining chip. I was hoping they might be enough to persuade you to maybe move your bed to the other side of the room. Sincerely, your neighbor in 83, specifically the one that shares a bedroom wall with you. So what did you do when you got this note, Randy? This wasn't me. I'm sorry, guys. You turned down Dragon Ball Z. Oh, well, I actually sent the beers back because I don't drink beer. I'm sorry. This happens to me. If I get this note at my doorstep and there are two Coronas right there, I'm bringing the Coronas back to her door

and I'm asking her to replace them with something that's actually drinkable. Yeah, I'm like, give me a Rony. Give me something from the Molson Coors family. Hit me with a Guinness. Do something for me. But we're absolutely not doing Coronas as a peace offering. What if she hits you with a couple Bud Lights and you're just like, okay, what is she...

Yeah, what's she trying to get at? What do you mean? What if she hits you with a couple Vortex bottle Miller Lights? What if she gives you the Bud Lights and then when you open them and you try to grab them, what's she trying to get at? What do you mean? What if she hits you with a couple of Vortex bottle Miller lights? What if she gives you the Bud lights, and then when you open them and you try to grab them, she blows them up from her apartment? Time out. Okay, so she's put like C4 or some kind of explosive device,

and she kills you and your partner? Yeah, because you guys were having too loud of intercourse. It seems excessive, but you have to respect it. I've never had a noise issue with any of my neighbors. Additionally, I've never had to ask one of my neighbors to be... It's never been a two-way street for me. I've never had any issue with this. I think that in the years when I could have had this issue,

it was a time when I didn't care if it was that loud. I wasn't having trouble sleeping. I didn't have a kid in the place, whatever. And I think the walls at my current place are just so good that you can't hear anything. I've been ripping vinyls at max, not max volume, but close to, seeing if anyone has said anything,

and no one seems to care. So that would be my move. If I'm looking to combat this, rather than the handwritten note and two coronas i would just play music very very loudly when they're doing this and if they have an issue with that then you can that's where you get the conversation started right like so you're in there and you let's say you're listening to i don't know what's the what's the last record you got on vinyl um pantera great southern trend kill no i just got i just got two in uh over the

weekend i got two goose albums and okay so we're with the goose boys i do have the same out with bro bible brandon i know i've got some sam fender coming in i i took to my credit i did order the goose albums before we talked to bro brandon bible on bro bro brandon bro brandon bible is his new name um and but now i have some other ones coming in this week so i'll update you guys when i need to okay yeah i don't this is so embarrassing especially i you know if well you've had you've had some issues in the past with neighbors here's the thing mainly dog related stuff But this is so awkward. And to like, I don't like how you don't, if you're going to do this, don't describe the sex life, their stamina. That's the weird part.

But she was getting, so she was getting dragged up and down Twitter by like one section of Twitter when I saw this tweet. I didn't see this tweet just from getting retweeted. Like I saw people ripping into her. And honestly, overall, I don't think this is worth ripping into her for because I think she's coming from a pretty innocent place. She absolutely is. I think she made it a little weird.

But the reason she put in the stamina part is because one of the most liked responses to her original tweet was telling her to do this. It had 18,000 likes. So, like, I get why she put that in. She included the tweet. Yeah, I feel like sometimes you just can't let people decide your content for you she should have screenshotted all of it and just like included that um when i first saw this i thought that i thought that it was like she was the one who received this and then it was like a dude who wrote this and i was really creeped out because double standard if a dude had written this you're just like dude fucking calm down chill out dude but she's like a 24 year old and you know what i applaud her for

attempting but corona was not the move um we famously had a 40 ounce of corona in our last office uh bathroom that uh we never solved that mystery as to how it ended up there it was just sitting there on the on the sink and no one ever... Did we determine that it was sealed? Yes. Because I still had a theory it was just piss. It was sealed. But I did think it was piss.

Randy wouldn't... I couldn't get Randy to drink it. So... I respect... Randy, thank you for not drinking it. That would have been disgusting. It was post-pandemic. Like, right after.

It was just a normal Corona that was sitting... Like, it was never refrigerated no is another rule are you not supposed to refrigerate beer twice like you can buy it warm and refrigerate it i've never had that problem but then i just drink all the dude i just fucking chug them yeah i just fucking slam beers yeah i can't stop dude i'm i'm all in on pills nurse this season fuck yeah barrett barrett has shifted my mentality. I can only drink light beers now. Okay. Pilsners and whatever the other light one is.

Dude, Randy's tum tum right now is just aching, hearing the thought. Dude, take some AG1. Promo code circling. You think you're better than the sponsor? Is that it? I just don't like the taste of the beer. What'd you drink at Dan's birthday?

White Claw and watermelon margaritas honestly dude that's fucking drippy okay it's fucking drippy yeah at the motorcycle bar i'm sure i wasn't getting any weird looks watermelon margs with the boys since now that now that we don't have any like you know alcohol sponsors tied to us i might have to go all in on on just a random one this summer when it was white claw Claw summer before we got the Vizzy bag, I was doing better numbers than I think I've ever done on Twitter before. Yeah, you did pretty well with that. You were a ground floor White Claw summer guy. I was in Oklahoma where they famously rolled their joints all wrong, so I had to go all in on White Claw content because I couldn't smoke any J's. This is at the peak of seltzers. Yeah,

and I think I'm going back for 4th ofuly again this year to oklahoma so i think i might let it rip again very cool i paid the closet to be the boss no it didn't work no shout out to robert de niro shout out to him and his family do we have anything else today i think it's time to get out of here we've had a good episode very happy yeah honestly i think we could have packed in more but like we were we were fucking cooking today yeah we had a lot of we had a good episode very happy yeah honestly i think we could have packed in more but like we were we were fucking cooking today yeah we had a lot of we had a lot to get to i hope we didn't gloss over anything but it was fun dylan will be back we'll get wednesday i think we'll get some hardos in the chat about how we messed up the logistics but dude it wasn't minkin who

did this it was someone else oh i did i'm gonna be thinking about the the goodfellas gaffe for the rest of my life. That's okay. That's okay. All those old mob movies for me, I've only seen most of them once and only once, so it's hard for me to remember the differences. Can I recommend Casino? But not only Casino, the soundtrack. Okay.

Pull up the soundtrack on Spotify. It is excellent. Casino is the most recent vintage mob movie that I've watched, and I absolutely loved it. Absolutely loved it. i love movies that take place in casinos i hate actual casinos i respect that you have to deal with the smoke you dude please dave please watch snake eyes starring nicholas cage for me one time and greg kinnear okay so i got that and jerry duty on the list it's it's just great it's it's it's such a cheesy like 90s movie about a a fight in vegas that goes wrong it's just great i'm in okay we're
