All right, we're back circling back podcast Monday, March 3rd. Great date. Little three three three action Yeah, Larry bird my name is will to freeze my life Bird man himself Dave ruff. That's me Hey Been getting a lot of these commercials for the new iPhone You guys seen this? Curious is this gonna be one of those deals where I like have to get it in the next year cuz mine's just gonna stop working. I don't know. I know I'm not gonna get like a definite definite answer here, but I'm just curious.

Saw a tweet the other day that said how embarrassing it is to have an iPhone 11 in 2025 and I realized that I have an iPhone 11. I respect that. It works perfectly. I don't know why I don't need to upgrade. You know, it does everything I need it to do. I like that. I like that about you. Thank you, Dave. I like that about you, man. That's something you should put in your bio. Should I? Yeah.

iPhone 11 user? Yeah. That's a good thing, man. Good for you. I was doing that thing the other day where I got out of my car and I was holding like a coffee in one hand Keys in that hand and then I had my phone just dangling and of course phone just went flying chipped the bottom of it. Oh Was it were you naked or did it have a case on it had a case on it But this case is not I wouldn't say it's protective. That's a showy case. I wouldn't say it's protective. It's a field case

Oh, yeah, it's fuzzy. Yeah. Yeah I don't know. It's a little micro suede. Nothing crazy Yeah, it doesn't protect anything. You don't like the chip at the bottom of the phone It's not as evident now because the stuff is kind of gone away. Yeah, that's just yeah, you see it you see it's not ideal No, it's one of those things if I don't have a case on my phone, I'm gonna think about it every time I pick up my phone. Yeah. I don't know. I was envisioning Ben Affleck trying to get into like his gated community or whatever and he's just got like a

bunch of donuts, a phone, coffee, multiple coffee. Cigarette. Cigarette. My building installed new sensors everywhere, all the doors and elevators. I have to open an app every time I get on an elevator now. Nah, nah. It fucking sucks. Nah, dude.

It sucks. I don't even show my room key at a hotel to get on the elevator. You know in Vegas how they always make you do that, I don't even like getting my room key out. And Chelsea, who is at my place all the time, she, since she's not technically a resident, she doesn't have access to the app. So she has to use the stairs. Now can't log a player in. I have to, I can, but she had to call me the, hey, I have to elevate her now and open the app and hit the button to let her in. And it's just a whole thing. It's just

not worth it. But you can't just let her download the app and login using your credentials. She can't do it yet because she's not officially like on the lease. You just don't want to tell her your password. I don't even have one. Is there two step verification? Come on, dude. Your password is big boobies 69.

We shouldn't say that. Take that out, Randy. Yeah. Can you believe that? No. Um, you know what? I'll just use this platform Take that out, Randy. Yeah, can you believe that? No. You know what? I'll just use this platform to complain. My gymnasium, they have now updated their guest policy,

which you get like two guest passes a month. And now to bring a guest, they have to download the app on their phone. So if I wanna bring like, I haven't tried this yet, but let's say one of my guests is like my wife, cause she, she's not on the, like we're not on a family plan. What's her deadlift these days? Uh, you know, she's not doing many deaddies these days.

Um, RDLs maybe, but yeah, like download the app. So if I wanted to just go like, Hey Brett, you wanna go do like a sauna? Yeah, but you gotta download this app on your phone. It's pretty smart by them because you know they're gonna spam you with stuff. It's a little annoying. That's my complaint. Also a shout out to my guy.

There was a backer at the gym yesterday. He was wearing the Johnny politics t-shirt. Don't know that one. Is this a Grand Ex, John? back at the pocket tee. Oh, nothing on the JFK one. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. Sorry. I thought this was a man's L play. No, no, no. It's it's just JFK looking cool. He's just just puffing on. Pre Dallas JFK. Yeah. Before it all went down like that. Seen an an RG shirt or anything out in the wild is shocking. I looked at it for a minute. I was like, this guy's rocking JFK. And I was like, Johnny politics sounds really familiar.

We definitely, yeah, it was us. In good condition too. How about that? Like new? Like maybe he hadn't worn it a ton. Sad that it's a gym shirt. Yeah, once you get retired to gym shirt, you're- Move down the rotation a bit.

Yeah, that's okay. That's okay. Dylan's here. Hi, Tony. iPhone 11. I'll be honest, I don't even know what iPhone we're on. Like, it's been paid off. You know how you do the payment plan, whatever.

I had it paid off for like the last four years. What's great. What iPhone are we even on? I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know either. You have it. Yeah, I'm in that upgrade program. So like, I don't think about, I mean.

Somewhere in the middle. I don't know. The only, like the only differences I used to see were like the phones would get faster. And now I feel like that's completely plateaued. So now the only difference I used to see were like, the phones would get faster, and now I feel like that's completely plateaued. So now the only difference I actually see is like the camera. I'm a 13. Wow, Dave just yammed on you, dude.

I'm on that old-ish. I don't even care, man. I mean, you shouldn't. What are you really missing out on? The camera obviously is a little bit of an upgrade. No one can tell just by looking at it, you know no we would have made fun you a long time ago for that Although I feel like my camera lenses are big Yeah

Making fun of someone for their iPhone unless they have like like I think that I think the only way you can make someone make Fun of someone for their iPhone is if they still have a button Other than that like other than that you just sound like an asshole or a small one No, I don't see like I kind of want a small one. No, no. See, like, I kind of want the small one. Well, I mean, like, there's a small, small one. No, I know. It sounds kind of nice, though. Yeah, maybe.

I regret the plus. Yeah, that's a big plus. Fully regret the plus. It feels normal to me now. So, like, when I go down to a small one eventually, it's going to suck for, like, a week. I got roasted at Grand Ex for having, like, basically an iPad in my pocket.

Oh, you had the big one for a while. I had the tablet for a minute. Was that one bigger than this one? It was. I'm like, I'm kind of roasted at Grand Ex for having like basically an iPad in my pocket. Oh, you get you had the big one. I had the tablet for a minute. What's that one bigger than this one? Like it big one got smaller. Okay, because I was going to say like I remember it being bigger. This doesn't seem as big to me

now. I would always lie to you and be like, dude, I'm watching movies on this and **** I wasn't I made fun of you because I called it a purse phones. It doesn't fit in your pocket very easily. No, it doesn't. Yeah. This is a back pocket phone only the plus is a a purse phone. It doesn't fit in your pocket very easily. No, it doesn't. This is a back pocket phone only. The plus is a back pocket phone.

I become a back pocket guy. I'm going back all the way. Yeah, it's nice. You ever worry about your pockets in the back, like flaying out, because we always got our phone in there? No. You're going to start thinking about it.

I do worry about sitting on it and breaking it. Your phone? Yeah. Yeah. You're too strong now. You ever seen that video of that old guy on a panel and and he sits down you can see the moment he sits on his balls Yes, dude, that's an old man problem that sucks man. Yeah, that's not a young man's game. I feel like no typically not I Started adding a double shot of espresso to my after workout protein smoothies.

It's been an absolute game changer for me. Is this like how you drink 200 ounces of water a day? Dude, it's nice. It's nice. Get a little lift, man. That's all I had on that. It's crazy the caffeine does that. I know. It's all I had on that.

It's been nice. That had nothing to do with anything we talked about. No, I just wanted to get that in there. That was just a note you wanted to just did it this morning I was like me. I'm enjoying this a lot And what you want to know about it just share a little piece of my life with you guys. That's all I'm doing That's the thing about Dylan. Yeah, you didn't hold back. I'll share I'll share some shit It's true. Well, how many MGs are you deep today? um, I Had to guess a lot.

Usually I drink about half of my ice coffee in the morning and then top it off before I head into work. And today I drank a full one and completely reload it. So I might be going off anywhere between three and 400 milligrams right now. Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'm kind of, I'm not,

I don't have a love affair with coffee right now. Maybe you need a break. It's a drink to survive. I'm drinking it to survive, not to enjoy. And I don't like being in that place right now. I've been doing this thing though, that I think they do at Starbucks and other coffee shops alike, where I've been putting the creamer or milk in before I pour the coffee in so that it naturally mixes. I

don't have to stir it or anything. You know what I'm saying? I'm filling it from the bottom. And when you fill it from the bottom, you start at the bottom and then once you fill it up, you're here. That's how it works. That's good. It's a Drake play. Man, he can't just, he can't get away from it. No. Even Conan out there just hitting him. I thought, fucking Academy Awards. So that's, that video from Sydney was an an ad right for that gambling website. Oh

was it? I don't know. I knew something was up. I knew it was too perfect. He had the drink sitting there you know. I'm surprised with his run of luck lately. He didn't kill someone with that slide. Someone apparently found it. Yeah. Oh it actually. But if it's an ad like if it's actually a set up ad then I refuse to believe the person that found the slide is not. Anyone could just bring a slide down, oh, I found it. They should have had Dude Perfect down there with a hoop. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That plays. Did you see Chad's pose? Yeah. What are they doing? I don't know. I'm at the point where like,

I hate Manchester United so much that I think I might just go all in on Burnley and just make it really public to our friend Chad and our friends over at Dude Perfect, to the point where they're like, okay, this guy might be the biggest Burnley fan in the United States. We need to fly him over and go to some of our games.

I mean, it's not out of the question. Dumb Fox will hate me riding on a PJ with Dude Perfect to England, but Dumb Fox will hate it. They would not be ready for that. The heavy hitters are not ready for Will on a PJ. Dylan thought he was a heavy hitter and then Will and I were on a PJ going to Dallas. Yeah, I've never been on a PJ.

And a reminder, my son has been on a PJ a few different times. Yeah, we were actually talking about that recently. You were texting with them? No, we were WhatsApping or whatever. That's what the kids are using. Snapchat. Yeah, Snapchatting.

Face filters, things of that nature. The Dude Perfect headquarters is so insane. It's like they just like had a bunch of extra money and they're like, well, do we got to put in like a full a full putting green, but like not like it's got to have like water and stuff. It's got to have hazards. It is it a little recreation of the masters is that what Augusta National?

I don't think you're the ones been Yeah, good point. David, I didn't get to go. There's no car paths. He fucked us over. No car the one who's been. Yeah, good point. Dave and I didn't get to go. There's no cart paths. Can you fuck this over? No cart paths. That's true.

The apple ice flavor of the Lucy Breaker is absolutely fantastic. I highly suggest if you if you try Lucy, go for the apple ice. It's awesome. If you try it, I highly recommend grabbing one off Dylan's desk. There are some rules surrounding that. If there's two left in there, you're allowed to take one. If there's one left, you're not allowed to take Dylan's last one. That's right. Will implemented those rules for himself.

Dylan, I have a question for you. Yes, Will, go ahead. What'd you get into this weekend? Oh, thanks for asking. We love

the little weekend. All-time weather weekend. All-time. Uh, Friday, had the little man. We just kind of, uh, watched movies, hung out, cooked a little dinner. He requested chili, a little warm for chili, but he was craving it. So of course we made him chili. And it was really good. Beans or nah?

Beans. Added cows, added protein. Yeah. Chelsea makes, uh makes chili with beans and she does a great job of it. So I'm not gonna request no beans. She's still dropping a little venison in there? No, Vinny.

No. Saturday. I once went to a chili thing where people brought like numerous chilies to see who had the best chili. Cook off, chili cook off. A Texas style chili cook off. And you know what won? Beans. a chili that was made from a New York

Times recipe didn't really sit well with me. I kind of felt like one of the cowboys in the pace commercials really. Was this the one that Micah entered? No, no, I felt bad for Micah. Micah got **** dominated. He got smoked. It wasn't even his problem. His chili was really good, but like there are a couple chilies there that were just like some of the best I've ever had. Really? Anyway, enough about chili. Damn. Saturday stepped out a bit. Got a few fellow fellers together plus Chelsea and one of

her friends and we went to Bolden Acres. Had a few adult beverages there and part laid that into a adult beverages there and parlayed that into a mat- uh, mat-el strip. Mat-el ranchos, mat-el ranchos, mat-el ranchos, and mat-el ranchos. Went to mat-el ranchos and, uh, there are a few people in my group get a little too intoxicated.

Yeah, they did. Do we have fun? Yeah, we did. We got way too much, uh, beef fajitas. How many pounds? Two and a half pounds for, to split among six people.

And then someone got quesadillas. Lot of beef. Two and a half pounds is a lot. Talking three full platters of beef fajitas. Who took home that extra beef? We did a good job of clearing it out so much so that there was so little left that no one took it home. There was some left, but not enough to like,

get even like half a meal out of it. Did you give it to the waitress? No. When you order fajitas, let's say you order two and a half pounds, do they just weigh the meat and then put the vegetables in or do they weigh everything with the vegetables too? It's a really good question. I think it's just the beef, the meat. Yeah, you would like to think that. I also don't think they're over there weighing it, you know. It's like this feels like about no one's gonna like bring it to the table. They're not gonna check us, you know, they're not they don't bring a scale. That would be nice if they had table side scale. Yeah. Just to prove it. Met Longhorn legend Derek Johnson at Matt Matzel Rancho. DJ Kevin gave him a big hug and it was like, Hey man, do I know you? He goes, nope. But

a very nice man. We talked for a minute. Very nice dude. How's he looking? Skinny. He's lost a bunch of weight. Good for him. Yeah. He looks good. Looks great. Very nice man. Yeah, Sunday, just an all time outdoor day. What you got? I just Googled Derek Johnson. Don't know who the fuck it is. Possibly the greatest Longhorn linebacker of all time. Had a nice career with the Chiefs. Maybe one of the all time leading tacklers

for the Kansas City Chiefs. Definitely way up there. He's held in high regard up there, I think. Yeah. He was a great pro. Yeah, Sunday just walked the dog. Got a little workout in, just enjoyed the weather a little bit, just chilled, man.

It was a reset day. And that's it, had a lovely weekend. Baseball practice yesterday, Parks hitting the cover off the ball, man. Love to see it. Like actually? No, not actually. It's very hard to do.

He's gonna say you might need to get him some camps if he's doing that, like get some eyes on him. Parks wanted to see, he wanted to see if I could um throw a ball up and hit over the fence. I grabbed his coach's fungo bat. You want a fungo bat as well? Obviously. It's for, it's what's tough. That's a tough question. See here's the thing, here's the thing. We talked about this in the office the other day. We talked about this in the office just the other day. I didn't. I didn't. The other day, the other day they were talking about an NFL player and I asked, wait, who are you guys talking about? And then instead of saying the person's name, Dylan responded to me and said, oh, this really good receiver for the blah, blah, blah in the NFL. And I'm like, yeah, I don't really, I don't really need the mansplination. I just want to know who you're talking about I know I don't play fantasy

I know I'm not on the the betting apps all the time placing your parlays that you like to play I Grabbed I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that I said shit I grabbed the fungal bat and I hit one that they're designed to worry you can with with minimal effort You can hit a ball really hard like the way they're the length and the weight of them It's for batting. it's for fielding practice. Anyway, hit one about a mile and the kids were like, oh, how'd you do that? It was fucking cool.

They loved it. Tell them hard work. I just showed him my bicep. I said, this is how a little guy. Really? Okay. Yeah. And that's it, man. What do you think, I'll give you three guesses. What is Derek

Johnson's middle name? Larry. That's one. You're not gonna get it. It's O'Hara. Okay. Derek O'Hara Johnson. Interesting. I wouldn't have gotten there. He's only 42. He's a Waco guy. He is a-up guy. Bears let him get away. Darn it. I get it. They weren't very good back then. Yeah.

Okay. They need Brile to come through. Yeah, I don't know if that's happening. Just seems like that ship has sailed. How about your weekend, Davey? I didn't hug any ex-Lhorns. I don't think did I No, I did not Wait, are you sure?

Yeah, I think about it off you did either no no, I would have texted y'all I would have texted the Lutz Blaine would have to do a shot for that. That should be a new rule Group text fell off after football season ended. They really did. So I really did. It's crazy. No one's, no one's really just randomly ripping shots throughout a weekend. Um, but here's what I did. Uh, Friday evening, we had a, um, had a little gathering of, uh, some of, some of the, uh, kids from my son's school.

They did a little cookout, uh, burgers, dogs, sausage, the some of the kids from my son's school, they did a little cookout, burgers, dogs, sausage, the whole deal. I went by the gas station, I was like, well, I'm not gonna show up without bringing some beers. Picked up a six or a Lone Star, some Lone Star Tollies. Hell yeah. Yeah, some Loney's, some Loney Boys, Los Loney Boys, is what I was calling them.

Okay. Well, I picked those up, boys, los lonely boys, that I was calling them. Okay. Well, I picked those up, okay, and I brought them over there and got over there. And this is a slight exaggeration, but everybody was just kind of drinking wine. And I kind of pulled in with the sixer, the tall boys, and I just kind of set them down on the kitchen island. Nothing to be ashamed of.

And I was tall, I was tall boy guy. I didn't even put them in the fridge. It's good. No, they don't. I'll drink them fast enough. Leave them out. You know the target on a axe throwing game like you know you you can go to places and do axe throwing and stuff. There's a kid's version of that. I don't know if you've seen this but it's kind of sick. They had it in their backyard. It is it's not nerf but I would say it's nerf adjacent. Okay.

And they have plastic toy axes and toy ninja stars. And you just throw it and they're not sharp, obviously. And the kids were loving it. And I was like, dude, I would like this for me. Even though I'm kind of anti going to a corporate axe throwing events. People know that, don't invite me, I would like this for me. Even though I'm kind of anti-going to corporate axe throwing events, people know that, don't invite me, I won't go. I've seen too many videos of the ounce bouncing back

at the person throwing it. I don't know how they're still allowed to exist. Right, a little bit of liability there. A lot. But with these, if it does bounce back, it doesn't really matter, again, because it's not a real axe or a real ninja star. Right.

And I got into a conversation with somebody and I was thinking, I was way too old when I realized that ninja stars weren't like a common thing that people just walked around with. Because you're growing up as a ninja turtle kid, I just assumed there's dudes out there like, yeah, I thought like that was a thing. There's going to be dudes out there. You have to watch out for they got nunchucks. They got ninja stars. It's like this is something you're gonna have to deal with it's not Lucky for us. Um, no, it's just firearms Saturday that was just concealed weapons. Yeah. Yeah now it's just guns um

Saturday man big outdoor weekend as Dylan mentioned Dylan mentioned. We had a good weather weekend. We were outside all weekend. We did back-to-back trips to the park. Did a lot of sliding, brought the dog, let him go around his old stomping grounds, the old park by our old house. Out there for a long, long time. Kind of feeling it today. A lot of cedar, a lot of elm. stomping grounds, the old park by our old house. Out there for a long, long time. Kind of feeling it today. Lot of cedar, lot of elm, little bit of mold. I blew some leaves yesterday and I was worried about the post game.

You should put on a face diaper. There's no shame in that when you're doing yard work. Dude, nice face diaper. Some random guy just walking by your yard as you're doing yard work. You're not even saying. I'm not opposed to the bandana man. Like I think that actually looks hard. I think it's a good thing. Yeah.

People are like, Dave, where are you at in your Mad Men journey? Well, it took a back seat because I am now, Alyssa and I are too deep in Severance Season 2. We started it. And my thoughts, you ready for this? First thing that came to mind. Should have rewatched season one. Should have rewatched. I get a little annoyed whenever I am going to go watch a new season of something that hasn't been out for a while. And there

isn't a recap of the previous season somewhere. I did this with it. I tried to do this with industry and there was just no season recap anywhere to be found. And I was like HBO or whoever would just be very well served by just putting this on their YouTube page. So if I Google it or anyone, maybe someone else to skip a season, just be current. How long did you wait or have to wait

between season one and two? For what? Or what, which wasn't there a big gap in industry? In industry, there was a big gap and then Severance, I think there's a huge gap. And so like, it just seems like one of those things that, it happens with every show. The only show that I actually remember doing it well

with Stranger Things. Oh yeah. Randy, you said you were doing a rewatch in light of recent events. I don't know what the joke here is. And no, I'm not doing a rewatch. YouTube usually has recaps for everything. You just have to talk into your remote industry,

season one recap, and someone's done it. Is that why you came in with the brace on your hand? I just said that I tried to search for that on YouTube and I came up with nothing. And there was no, see, that's the thing with watching nerdy shows that if like, there's probably at least five different recaps from different like YouTube nerdy guys. So that's great.

But what are we talking about in light of recent events? What you said, you've been looking at a lot of paparazzi picks lately of 11. Oh, okay. Calm down. I ain't Drake. Damn. He's not even safe on this show. I did SNL. I look forward to watching SNL with your host, Shane Gillis and musical guest. Of course, Tate McCray, who we're all familiar with. Did they do a bad job of marketing this episode? I didn't know Shane Gillis was the host until after

the show was over. No. I feel like I'm in tune with that stuff. No, but here's the deal. We're an NBC in the morning family. Okay. So I saw a lot of the, I'm Shane Gillis and I'm hosting SNL and they, you know,

they have a cast member out there. They do the bit, Tate McCray, which they were good. Might've just been a blind spot for me. I feel like I'm usually pretty in tune with who the host is. I should have texted. In the upcoming week. And like, the next day I was like I'm usually pretty in tune with who the host is I should any upcoming week and like I Didn't the next day I was like wait was Mike Myers the host and then I realized that it was Gillis and I was like

What's going on? Can I give you a little Mike Myers? What's going on? I saw a little clip of him So he's doing he's the Elon now. Yeah doing there Elon. Yeah, they cold-open with the Trump JD Vance little Marco Zelinski meeting and, spoiler, yeah, Mike Myers does Elon. And it does a pretty good job. Do you want a full review? You want a quick review of SNL? I know you're going to watch it. I'm going to watch. Okay. It was, I watched the couple of beers. That was a highlight. People are saying it's like the best thing they've done in 20 years and I just don't agree with that.

Yeah, I unfortunately didn't laugh nearly enough to justify some of the takes I saw being thrown out, but it was a very funny sketch. It was a good sketch, it was good. It was one of the better ones they did. I will say it wasn't, it feels like they're writing for Shane Gillis, which I know you're writing for the host But they're trying to write stuff that Shane would find money possible. He wrote it maybe but a lot of it just

It wasn't a great episode really yeah, oh that's it wasn't bad the monologue. Yeah, I'm very interested in the monologue Okay, it's uh, he's trying to watch it tonight that last night. It was on the table It's uh, he's trying to watch it tonight that last night it was on the table But it got punted for traders and white lotus. Okay and tape McCrae Dylan the one you're always talking about She performed how'd she do? Very talented Choreograph wise Choreography was okay, then I watched the Oscars last night some of it and I watched White Lotus thank you can you review a Nora I do want to see that I want to

watch that and I also want to watch the Jesse Eisenberg Karen Culkin that Karen Culkin won best supporting actor for yeah yeah I I want to watch a lot of the movies in the Oscars. I just don't see myself actually doing it. Yeah. I, I'm the same way. Like I've got, I've got a list and then I will end up watching like a season four, episode three of Mad Men. Yeah. With zero content. Exactly.

I'm that exactly. I'm that type of dude. How about you, Will? Had a pretty shit weekend. Uh, sorry for being such a good a pretty shit weekend. Sorry. For being such a good weather weekend. Weekend fucking sucked. So in lieu of my weekend, I'm going to bring up a conversation piece that I'd like to talk about.

Randy, can you bring up the tweet that I sent you, please? Yeah, sure. I'm not bringing up this tweet to roast anybody in particular or anything. I'm not going to roast anybody here. But friend of the pod noted New York meetup attendee, Casey Smith, tweeted out her splitting the G thing. Randy, can you zoom in on the Gs, please? No.

Damn it, Randy. It's got to be a better word. The worst process. The worst process. It's gotta be a better word. The worst process, the worst process. Okay, so she split the G. So naturally conversation started occurring here. The one on the left, it's under, the one on the right is over. Pretty good efforts though. Pretty good efforts, but real traditionalists

would not accept either of these, unfortunately. I'm not lumping myself into being the traditionalist here. I think the traditionalist would say that the one on the right is correct. No, no. You get to rest it on the little G thing, the little G flat part. The little G thing.

Oh, I thought you had a split between there. No, no, no. It needs to rest. Which is what real ball knowers do. Well, so then a guy tweeted it. His name's Kali Tyrell. I don't know. I don ball knowers do. Well, so then a guy tweeted it. His name's Colley Tyrell. I don't know, I don't know this guy. He's got a 31, 32,000 people.

He said, I'll never accept splitting the G. In my youth in Dublin, it was called the Guinness game. And the goal was below the harp and above the G. This is blasphemy. But he means below the harp above the ends. There is a way to do it between the G. Oh, okay. Is there a fine? Yeah, it's a fine line. Okay. And I saw a lot of support for this. And I'm also very confused. I am too. Because in 2019, we went to London and Edinburgh.

We hung out with our Scottish friend for the entire week. She taught us the game and taught us between the harp and everything. Then as we started going, people in the United States started to go down to the resting on top of the G. Then when we had our Guinness deal at Kelly's, we started going to Kelly's Irish pub. And while we weren't allowed to split the G for the Guinness deal, we talked it out with the people there who are Irish and they told us that it needs to be resting on the G. And they're actual Irish people.

It's just like, what are we doing here? And so like, I feel like, I feel like circling back itself needs to come up with what we deem it to be. And everyone else's opinion be damned because within our little micro economy of, you know, people, I just feel like we need an answer here and I don't know what to do. What are we accepting? What are we not accepting? I kind of like having different interpretations. It gives you more opportunities to successfully complete the challenge. But have you been at have you been at a pub lately

where somebody will do it and they'll get in between the harp and the Guinness, even though we're all doing the other way and then they'll act like they did it. I had this happen recently and I was like, man, I'm not gonna call you, but I feel like you're kind of acting like you try to get here.

Resting it on the G obviously is more difficult to do because the other one has a margin of error, right? Yeah. And you'd have to drink here. Resting it on the G obviously is more difficult to do because the other one has a margin of error, right? Yeah. And you'd have to drink more down to get to that G thing. Yeah, the G thing. I don't know what it's called. What do you call it? The G spot.

The G spot. The serif. Serif. Call it the G spot. The G spot. So to me, that's like, since it's more difficult to do, I feel like that should be like you know the thing. Kelly's has a punch card in order to do it you have

to rest it on the G. I feel like they know those are some some real Irish So you're saying Kelly says it has to be on the sheriff. Kelly's would not punch your card if that's what your beer looked like even though I if I'm with one of my boys I'm I'm dapping them up after that what's the most aesthetically pleasing way to do it what looks the best to the eye harp or G I think between the harp and the Guinness Word and you're telling me there's a way to get it between the harp and the top. Yeah. Yeah, I believe so that's difficult Yeah, yeah, well, it's just difficult as rescuing on this resting on the seraph. It's just one line kind of facts

It's it's a pixel, you know lines of line. I gotta hit that pixel Dude I'm not good at this game cuz I end up just drinking the entire beer You know what I mean in one gulp in one gulp man. I have a drinking problem Well, I think if anyone's gonna settle this, it's you. You're more Guinness-coded than I certainly am. Look at Randy. I think for us, we should go by what Kelly's Irish Pub tells us to do,

whether we think it's correct or not, because I think that's where we're most likely to do it. And I also think that I want a punch card. That's our, they are our ambassadors from Ireland. That's who we look to for all things Irish. So we're officially saying this one here. Yeah, I think so. I think I'd rather go the other way, but I think that the way the world is trending and I think that because of our our local pub doing it this way, I think we have to do it resting on the serif or as Dylan says the G-spot. All right, so that's official. That's the circling back way. Okay.

It's tough. I don't think I've been able to do it yet. That's good. Randy, can you actually circle that a few more times? These diagrams. John Madden. Thank you. That's perfect. That's perfect. OK, I'm glad we talked that out. I'm glad we talked that out.

Yeah. Killer weekend. Thank you. I just figured that would be more inspiring than my weekend. What if your whole weekend was just you just like thinking about the Guinness game? I did think about it for a while last night. I did. You're just stewing on it. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I think the highlight of my entire weekend is watching Traders last night. Y'all are fools for not being in on this. It is electric. For the first time all season,

we got a cliffhanger to end the most recent episode, which is just straight up not cool. Damn. Not cool. They did it last season too. Please get in. Just telling you now. Show's got aura, dude. How much longer do you have left?

Does it have left? One episode, I believe. Okay. Maybe two. Maybe two. I think the next episode is the final people though. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. Speaking of aura, wow, that's crazy how that worked out.

They're making the government more efficient. They're going through, they're finding wasted funds. For a lot. There's a team of people who are trying to, yeah, suss out some fraud, see where they can make some inefficiencies into efficiencies. It's good to see the government working in an efficient manner.

Speaking of you guys see that they're thinking of rebranding New York Strip is the Texas Strip. Her Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is going to say it's about time we get on this, you know, I've just been thinking the one thing that we can do to make the government more efficient. Is start renaming shit that we don't need to rename. Alright, so what's the justification for changing it from New York

Strip to the Texas Strip? Well, Office of the Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, if you want to follow them on x.com, it's L-T-G-O-V-T-X for the app. He said factoid. Just say factoid. He said factoid. Oh man, I hate factoid. Texas has about 12.2 million head of cattle, the most in America. I met with Texas cattle feeders and cattle raisers this week. Out of curiosity, I asked them their favorite cut of meat. A few said New York strip. And I asked why we didn't call it a Texas strip because New York has mostly dairy cows. Just because a New York restaurant a Texas strip because New York has mostly dairy cows Just because the New York restaurant named Texas beef and New York strip in the 19th century doesn't mean we need to keep doing that So the Texas Senate will file a concurrent resolution to officially change the name of the New York strip to the Texas strip in the

Lone Star State The fuck is he doing you know, I kind of like this way this may I may have to give away my texas card, but Every time I order a new york strip, which isn't very often because I think it's kind of like a Tier two order at a nice steakhouse. I like a strip. I do too. I I always kind of think like i'm i'm in like a nice i'm in like the Big there's a big band playing like sinatraatra, and I'm eating the New York strip, doing something like real cool.

A guy, I checked my top coat when I walked in. One of those things. I like, I feel like I'm doing, eating something special, even though there's many, many other cuts that are better. You know, Parks is contributing to this 12.2 million head of cattle. He's got, he's got two of them now. Names?

to this 12.2 million head of cattle. He's got two of them now. Names? Actually, I'm sorry, one of them has yet to be born. His cow, his name is, her name is Sideways. After the movie, is he a big Paul Giamatti fan? Yes. Paul Wall. He could have gone in that auction. Yeah, Parks has one one soon to be two.

The Parks Cattle Company is up and up and running. Does he have it on the side of his truck? Yes, he does. Do we need to do this? I don't know, man. This seems petty and a waste of time, but whatever. I read about the name in the restaurant. At the time, the beef was mainly coming from like the Midwest, Kansas City. It's also called like, I didn't know this, Kansas City Strip. Some people call it that. I don't know if that's. So I saw it on a menu one time and I was so rattled that I just didn't know what to do with it. Yeah. Well, he said, liberal New York shouldn't get credit for our hardworking ranchers. We promote the Texas brand on everything made or grown in Texas because it benefits our economy and jobs. After session ends this summer, I might take a short cruise across the Gulf of

America and have a juicy medium rare Texas strip. Adding liberal to New York shouldn't get the credit. Like liberal New York, I don't know if that needs to be in there. I don't know what it adds to the conversation about naming a cut of meat, but whatever. Does he kind of have a point, like I guess, but like, I just think there's probably other places within our official government ons goings

where we could be allocating some time. Probably. I do just having a little fun, man. I just think it'd be sicker if instead of a Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick passing laws, we had like radio personality Dan Patrick doing it. Dan Patrick. He'll always be the real Dan Patrick to me. He is. Yeah, me too. He is. Yeah, me too. He is. If you if you grew up in the 90s, he's he's the

only Dan Patrick that matters. You know, I I can criticize this but I also am still ordering freedom fries. True. No, you are. That's all I eat. You don't call them freedom fries. You don't know that. I do. When it was the last time

you had french fries with me. It's been a minute. It's been a minute. It's been a long long time. Yeah. You know, I'm a freedom fry guy. I have been. It's been two decades. We're going on two decades now. Freedom fries. I said this out

there in the bullpen earlier but uh we just signed an executive. We, Trump signed an executive order uh naming English the official language of the United States. Why didn't he just change it to American while we're at it? Soft move from him. Just rename it to American. Just do it. Yeah, just do it. Apparently we can do whatever we want. Was Inglis not already like the, hold on, he's rolling. Like was it not? I guess it was like it wasn't official official even though it's definitely been official for a long time. Like I've googled like for other

countries like what's the official language of this country what do they speak then I would assume that if you Google that about the United States of America that it would just come up as English. I don't know. I'm looking at some other uh we're doing bids. I'm looking at some other like you, foods named after places. I've never had a lot of these. Peking duck. Peking duck. I don't want to pay my king. I think it's different.

I don't know if that's how it breaks down. Oh, okay. I'm not really sure. That's how we got this country though. Yeah. Like, should we rename Kobe beef? It's not Kobe. That beef ain't Kobe Bryant.

That's certainly not. It's true. I have brought up the Texas Roadhouse menu here and I'm ready to go off. Is it really Texas toast if the bread is made somewhere outside of Texas? You know what? That's a great point. What sets Texas toast apart from just garlic bread? It's not garlic bread, is it? It's just a thick piece of bread. It's

just a thick, sopping wet with butter piece of bread, right? Yeah, I think you could put garlic on it, but I don't know if they're I don't know if they're one in the same Just I thought Texas toast had garlic. That was yeah, like thick thick toast I feel like all the Texas toast I have has a garlic tinge to it. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What is this? Not only I'm confused because what's this? That's what I was thinking. Yeah, but it's Texas toast with real garlic. But it's New York. New York. Oh, New York bakery. New York Texas

toast. It's made with New York water. So, it's different. I understood Texas toast used to be a thick piece of bread that's buttered and toasted. That would make a little bit more sense than this. Yeah. I'm going to yuck at that and see

what's up. Sure. It's probably not great. Bakes in five to eight minutes, Dylan. You know these are good though. That's quick. These are good in a pinch. If you really like, when you sit down and you're like, oh, I made this delightful plate of spaghetti and meatballs, but you know what I need? I need a big piece of bread to go with it. Why don't we make more sandwiches using Texas Toast?

I know it's a little decadent. I know it's a little rich. Yeah. But like, I've never been to a restaurant where they're like, Oh, we serve this on Texas toast. I think about a breakfast sandwich on Texas toast. I know it's I know it's unhealthy. What a burger does it? I think Oh, do they talk to Texas toast? Their chicken finger sandwich. That's not bread instead of buns. So I think that's Texas. Well, could I just do a Texas toast their chicken finger sandwich

So I think that's Texas well, could I just do a Texas toast grilled cheese, yeah, you could you really could Well only if the only if it's actually toasted and made in Texas though. Otherwise, it's just gonna be called American toast Can I read this excerpt from Texas Monthly? Okay Why is why is it called Texas toast in the USA? The story goes that Haley in an effort to wow his customers, clearly a restaurant owner, placed an order for sandwich bread sliced at double the normal thickness. But then upon learning that this Texas-sized bread would not fit into the restaurant's toaster, buttered the big slices and toasted them on the griddle. And voyolaola Texas toast.

I'm ready Mike, a moment. Viola. Got to love them. It's too big for the toaster, Jim. It ain't gonna fit. Oh, no, just throw it on the grill there, Hoff. That ain't gonna fit. Oh, you don't think it'll fit? That's Texas-side. You ain't throwing it away. I'm throwing on the grill there, that ain't going to fail. Oh,

you don't think it'll fail? That's Texas. You ain't throwing it away. We don't waste around here. Yes, Dylan. It is Texas toast on what a burger for the. Okay, I bet that's so good. It is. Wait, is that the strips of the strips and the patty?

That's what I get at Butterburger. No. Is the the patty melt is on? It's on Texas toast. Yeah. Are we sure? I don't know if if I believe the website Oh, I've had I've had numerous Patty melts from there. I've never noticed the overly buttered bread your mom's friend Patty melt Yeah, Patty melt Mrs. Melt do love a patty melt. Yeah, didn't she get a hip replacement last week? Yeah, she's doing alright meal train going back on her feet No time. Yep. No I'm just hungry. Let's go now what a burger. Sorry All right. Meal train going on for? You'll be back on her feet in no time. Yup, yup. That was good too.

I'm just hungry. You're going out Whataburgered, sorry. I did have Whataburger for breakfast yesterday. It's craving a honey butter chicken biscuit. He's just sitting on this gold. We did weekend and fun like 15 minutes ago and you just sat on that. I did that in a taquito.

Okay. Who likes the taquitos here? We're a fan of the taquitos. No, they're fine They're fine. Like I'm not saying they're the best thing in the world Dylan just weirdly hates them It's just kind of me honestly It feels like there's something else it like underneath the surface because like when we talk about it, he gets like really upset First of all, I know why they're called taquitos. They're just dude. They're just tacos. Yeah Yeah, and they're very mid because Cause they're little tacos. Mid, you need mid sometimes.

Mid has its place. Okay. If we can agree that they're mid, then I have no argument beyond that. There's something about it though. Like they're like the flour tortilla has been like steamed while there's eggs and cheese gets all gooey. And then once you really just toss some of that verde salsa on there, it turns into a very sneaky, good little taco.

They don't do like a shredded cheese on their eggs. I think they just throw in a big slice of cheese. I've always understood the way of Mellon to be fried. I think, uh, I think there is a version. I just don't think it's the water burger version. You're thinking the little frozen ones. You, yes, you're a kid. I used to eat the shit out of those.

Ew. They have a little bit of meat. They have very little meat in them and you just dunk them. Oh yeah. And you put them in your mouth. You do that bit. You did that. You all did it. I saw Randy, he was doing the cigar bit with the lady at the networking event the other night with

this. My flauta? Yeah, with this hard ass flauta. That was absolutely disgusting. I respect the flauta. I don't disgusting. Yeah. I respect the flauta. I don't know if I respect the Matt's flautas. They're always too crunchy. I do love a taquito.

I like a taquito, a flauta you can pick up. And like, you know, you're telling a story and you pick it up and use it for emphasis. Is that what you do? Hold it. Yeah. Is that what is that what Clinton was always doing? He was imagining himself holding a flauta.

Yeah. And then Monica came in. I showed her my flauta and she put he put that flauta somewhere. Yeah. I saw her on call her daddy the other day. She was calling me daddy at the time. Is that true? Yes. You did this show? She did. They were talking about

how it was represented in the media. Do you think the media handled it well? You know, they called it the Monica Lewinsky scandal when in reality, it was me cheating. That's a good point. They should have called it the Clinton. You think Twitter would have handled it. Well if we had twitter back then brother I would have been cooked by the chab brother. My clinton's not that good. It's getting worse I'm taking nails. It's actually probably pretty close to what he sounds like. He's very old Although he looked okay at the jimmy carter feeling he's been looking better

He went through he went through a stretch where he had to have had a health problem or something that we're talking about because he looked up and to re up on that adrenochrome. He didn't look great. What Dylan? I don't know what that is. OK, well, you're a science. Yeah, we have we need we need a touching based episode just to explain that one to Dylan. You know.

How was that? Texas toast. Yeah, we should definitely change this. Dare you to order it at, when we go to Texas Roadhouse, say I'll get the Texas strip, see if they know what it is. Freedom fries, Texas strip. They bring you out like a little red hat

to wear while you're eating it. It's fun, we're having fun. I'm gonna start calling it Middle East toast since bread was originated in the Middle East in around 8,000 BC. Yeah, Dylan, what do you think about that, you bitch? What happens at Texas Roadhouse when I order a piece of the Middle East toast with my meal? I thought

it's probably wouldn't go well. I don't even know. I don't I don't think they have Texas toast there. Those those rolls are too good that they don't need any other type of bread. Those rolls. Oh, just keep in your pants. Calm down. Those rolls. Oh, okay. To all the to all my to all my Texas Roadhouse haters out there. I want one of you. I went back and I looked at the menu and I think what I ordered was barbecue chicken. It's not the play.

Well, I didn't know that. To anyone out there who rides for Texas Roadhouse, tell me your thoughts on the barbecue chicken at the very least. Because if you think that barbecue chicken is good Then like we are just really far apart. I have had it before because my brother used to get it and let me tell you it's Fine, it's probably below average it had the consistency of a pork chop Which is concerning especially compared to their like their ribs and their their steaks like it's

Far in between who's chicken at a southern restaurant would be like good and it was like it's far in between. Who's ordering ribs? I thought chicken at a Southern restaurant would be like good. And it was like, it was just so unremarkable. But Rainey's gonna order me when we go. So I'm not worried about it. It's known for beef. That is, you can even, you can look in the butcher block and you can see cuts of beef.

Nowhere else does that. Literally no other restaurant ever does that. One Texas strip, please. Can we talk White Lotus? You won't do the song this time. I don't want to bust out any eardrums. Can I actually read an email that we received from a listener? I say from a listener and not a name because this person was too soft to put their name behind their fucking take. What's your name on it this time, huh? Did they submit this on the website?

They submitted it with a blank name. They submitted emailisno at email.com just to show how big of a fucking wimp they are. Now maybe this person's name is No. The subject is White Lotus themes and they got an email at email.com. And they work at email. Email.com?

He said, I'm begging for you guys to stop trying to sing the White Lotus theme song. Just in that, I have an issue with it. We're not trying. We are. We crushed it. We are. It's fucking high pitched, loud and terrible. It's an awful experience during the podcast.

It makes me want to unsubscribe and give a one star review based on that alone. It's worse than when rappers put cop sirens in their songs that fuck with you when you are driving. Well, does he have a point though? How does it sound, Randy? Pretty bad, yeah. You can, I think even if you go back to that episode, you can hear me going like, what are you guys doing?

No, Randy was laughing his ass off while we were doing it last time. I was laughing, but I was like, cause I thought it was bad. Well, to know at email.com, I say this to you, sir. Doing it softer this time. Yeah, that's a little better. It's definitely better. We're going to get a review. I don't care.

That person just unsubscribed now. Just turn it down. I don't want to hear from that person. I want to hear from yes at email.com. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Season. Yeah. Season three, episode three thoughts. I wanted a little bit more to happen. I think I wanted the the trouble back home with is it Tony, The head of the southern dude, the dad? Tim. Tim. Tony? I don't know where I got that. Tony Ratliff. He just doesn't even give Tony. Tim Ratliff. T-word. T-name. I wanted more. I'm having trouble watching him. He's going through it, man.

It's tough. He's the anxiety spiker for me. When he's clearly popping those, what's he popping? Larazepam? Yeah. He's popping those Larazepams. That's a dangerous road to go down because he's starting to like them. Well, when he started, when he was doing it, my first thought was like, if he doesn't usually do this,

he's going to fall asleep. And it made me really happy that they stayed true and he was just completely passed out. When he woke up, was he mad that he was, they're like, oh damn, I snapped out of it and I still have all these problems or was he mad he missed dinner? I don't know. Do you want to do dinner? Do you want to teaser for next week? I did. There's a super cut of him just popping. He loves him, dude. He loves him. Good. I'm glad. Hey, man, maybe,

maybe this is like who we're going to talk about later. Maybe he just needs a hero dose to clear his conscience. Yeah, maybe so. And that hero dose of lorazepan, it's, it's a lot different. Yeah, it doesn't really, I'll be honest, hitting those back to back to back to back doesn't sound great. No, like kind of sad. And then when they showed him wake up fully clothed on the hotel bed, we've all been there. And like he wakes up and realizes, oh damn, I still have all these problems. It's just like, that's a tough thing. Like it's kicked off. The conversation, the, the, the three, uh, lady friends who are there, the conversation they had when they realized that one of them, um, the one who lives in Austin and is married to Dave, the owner of a company, the company owner, was really funny to me.

It was great. I couldn't believe that she was mixing it up with Republicans and going to church and may have voted for Trump, and her husband certainly did. And they're just like, they can't believe it. It's so funny. Classic coastal elites. I mean the second that

that dialogue started going down, Sally and I were just sitting there being like, all right, what church is she going to? Yeah. Well, they live in Westlake. They're Westlake, right? I don't know, man. I could see them. I could see them being Terry Town and going to Good Shepherd. I could see them being, you know, they could live on Lake Austin. Yeah. You know, she, she gives rich there at the white Lotus in Thailand. The takeaway from this is it like, oh my gosh, this person is Republican or is it these friends are super judgmental of someone who's Republican? I don't think that's the real judge. What side is the commentary on? They're extremely like they've all three talk shit about one of,

you know what I'm saying? They've all been in positions where one of them is getting flamed by the other two. Yeah. For different things. That's right. Yeah. The good point.

I kind of wish they had a three summer dudes on this show. Like that was competing with the girls and the guys were just like not talking shit about each other at all. And they're just like, all right, just boy. Sometimes our tea time. All right. Let's go get some beers. Uh, about each other at all and they're just like, all right. Just boys. What time's our tea time? All right, let's go get some beers.

I'm ready for, sorry, I have the list up. I'm trying to get the names right and I don't want to get them wrong. Lori, Carrie Coon. I just want her to get on this guy at this point. I want her to bounce on it. Is she going to make a move? She will. She will. I think she's going to leave this, I think she's going to leave this uh, season looking phenomenal. Like I think they dressed her down in the opening episodes and I think when she leaves either she either leaves the resort looking like a brand new human being or she just stays

at the resort forever and bangs this dude works remotely. She's a lawyer. Fuck it. Walton Goggins letting all the snakes out of the cage. Okay when he when he got a hold of that Thai weed, which I did not expect him to just go into a store and get, I thought he was about to just go in there and find some weed on the street. Him just walking in and getting that.

That's been a highlight of the season because Walton Goggins' face just when he's just absolutely zooted. I have a question about that. If he's that desperate for weed, he's only buying one joint. Good point. Like, I feel like he would have bought like a that was a hooter though, little dime bag at least and taking it back to the hotel smoking on that porch of his I mean, he's

got a nice ass room. Yeah, that was a fucking doink if I've ever seen. Yeah, you don't like you don't like Cobras out of their out of their cage. I respected it though. He was high dude. You you don't like cobras out of there out of their cage. I respected it though He was high dude. You can't blame him. He felt bad for him. You got a question I wouldn't I'd never go to a snake show when I'm high. It's a reptile house. Yeah, that's the thing about it Just what's the turnaround on going to the hospital for a cobra bite? Didn't they say 15 minutes on the show? Well, they said that 15 minutes together before so she wouldn't die

Yeah, when you get if you get bit by a rattlesnake, yeah, I don't think you're walking around You're not walking out that night. I know it's a Cobra more. I think so poisonous I would think it's at least as Poet I feel like you're getting you're staying there overnight at a minimum It's more than a white bandage over a rattlesnake definitely kill you. Yeah, it's more than the white. Yeah So I yeah Cobra's are what's what do we think he's done in his life? What do we think has led him to this state of complete nothingness? He's got demons. It does feel like some murdering hitman. Like, he has to be a hitman. He feels like almost like a semi-ethical hitman, like a Dexter type.

almost like a semi-ethical hit man, like a Dexter type. Yeah, sounds like his dad got killed. Maybe he just went down some path. It just, I don't understand. I don't know what else he could do. I need Saxon to not hook up with the hot girl that's dating Tanya Sax. Yeah. Like it's gonna really piss me off if he actually hooks up with her because

it's just, I mean, I guess that's how it works in life. She's given him the eyes though. When the absolute douchebag hooks up with the hot chick, it's just like, well, of course that happened. What's her name? Yeah. I, it merely makes me not like her. Chloe.

She. Do you like his Southern Tide polo last night? It's a good skip chat. Dude. Skip. Dude, It's a good skip chat. Dude, skip. Dude, it's a good polo. Whoever is in style, whoever the stylist is for his character, absolutely crush it. They're like, all right, what's a niche like Southern polo brand? We can toss on this dude. Can I, can I tell you who I had a revelation on who Chloe reminds me of? It's Jenna Sims, Brooke's kept his wife. Okay. There's something there. Okay.

Gary slash Greg's girl. Right. Yes. I see that. I see that. I see that. Yeah. I want nothing good to happen to those two. Gary, Gary's really not, he's getting away with having like two lines this entire season. Right? Gary's just there. I was about to talk about Belinda. I know that her presence on the show is necessary only because of the Gary thing. And like she recognizes him and she knows the backstory with Jennifer Coolidge's character. Her name is character name escapes me at the moment. I I'm a little over Belinda. She just doesn't do much for me

You know, but I know that she's necessary for the show storyline here because she's sneaky horny too She is but she's just kind of I kind of felt that way about I feel I felt that way about Tanya last season You know, like I feel like these the recurring characters to me move the needle the least for me at this point You might you kind of want to see it work out for her and that like she, so she made it clear she did not get any of the money that Tanya promised her back in the day, season one. So you would like to see a scenario where she gets to open her clinic and her wellness retreat and somebody compensates her appropriately. somebody compensates her appropriately. But dude, her son is the opening scene of the show of the season. So you know it's a key part of the season.

Yeah, true. Or you don't know that, it's White Lotus. Tell me why when Kenny was putting the moves on Belinda, who clearly wanted him, she just totally didn't pick up the signs or something? I also thought it was weird that after and she went in the hotel room, there was no expression of remorse for not taking him down or like there's

no point where she was like she clearly knew what he wanted. He was laying it on pretty thick. Yeah like she seemed for someone who had a significant amount of interest she then seemed to have none. Yeah I didn't I didn't get it. Because like I expected her to shut the hotel door and be like I thought he was gonna have her in hell in there. Oh, I thought he was going to be putting, I think screws to her hell. Yeah. Maybe so. That dude. No, he doesn't know what he's signing up for.

I think he does. I think he wants to be first on that list. What was it when she went in and got in bed and then she kind of looks and she's like, what the hell's going on? Like she notices something or she's like acknowledging something's weird. Maybe she just couldn't figure out why Kenny was doing it. Or she's looking, what the hell's going on? She notices something or she's acknowledging something's weird. Maybe she just couldn't figure out

why Kenny was doing it. Or she's looking around the room and- No, that was weird. Is somebody in the room? Like you almost, I had a thought, like did Gary do something? I just heard she heard something. Yeah, but there is nothing to see on the show.

It sounded like someone was, cause I had- And they went right to Kate's scene after that where she wakes up and hears the girls talking shit about it. I have subtitles on As I watch every show of subtitles and it said like wood creaking like implying that someone was walking out there I can brackets would what do they do for the subtitles on the? phone calls and stuff with Tim

Do they actually say what he's saying in the phone calls because they're so low or do they I don't remember Check next time for me. I'm too lazy to turn on cuz like I don't think they're so low or do they I don't remember check next time for me I'm too lazy to turn on because like I don't think they're putting any dialogue in that muffled stuff that's like essential so I've just wondered if they say like muffled yeah I don't think they include what they're saying I don't care about bodyguard guy he's getting his not built by the other bodyguards dude he's not about that life getting pitched by the other bodyguards, dude. He's not about that life, dude. There's other bodyguards are bad dudes.

Yeah, he's too soft. Well, Sally said last night, she's like, I just get anxious about this guy because it's like, he just doesn't have it. He's kind of a simp. Like he's not getting the girl. Oh, he might. I mean, who knows?

He might, but like, he's just, he doesn't have it. Yeah, I want my bodyguard with scalp tattoos like the other guy has. Yeah, yeah. You know? I don't know. There's something to be said about like a silent killer, but I don't think this guy's a silent killer.

No, he's too soft. He'll probably kill someone at some point. I think, so his love interest, Muk, is apparently a big star in Korea. What do we think her deal is I don't know she's just kind of delightful really entertaining that guy I saw a theory that she could be the be a villain She had those conversations with the bodyguards Those bodyguards are the ones that robbed that store, right?

It feels like it would be, but I feel like there's some logistics that might say no, but like, yeah, it feels like it. My theory is the Russian guy, the healer. Really? Might've had something to do with it. Because he's Russian and they're sketchy by nature. No, I wasn't gonna think maybe,

but just that he kind of was distracting him at that point. And Tori left the gate open and that car just went in unattended. Who's MVP of the season so far? It's still Parker Posey AKA Victoria Ratliff. She didn't have much in this episode, but she delivered her lines perfectly when she when she did speak. They did dial her back a bit. Yeah. My MVP right now is Chelsea. Okay.

Amy Lou Wood. I think she's, every scene she's been in, she's been great. And I think she's going to make a name. I think she's going to make a name for herself over here, like she has over in the UK. She's in a lot of popular stuff over there, but I think this is the first time I've seen her in something like, very American. She's pretty ride or die popular stuff over there, but I think this is the first time I've seen her in something like very American

She's pretty ride-or-die on Walton Goggins. I feel like yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean she loves that dude Yeah, she'll do anything for that guy Patrick Schwarzenegger can have a nod for a possible MVP But like I feel like if you're gonna make him a douche he needs to have some better one-liners Yeah, I feel like whoever wrote his character isn him a douche, he needs to have some better one-liners. Yeah. I feel like whoever wrote his character isn't douchey enough to write that character. He's not hitting the gym. They needed a frat consultant for him.

When that girl called him, she says, I hear you're a douchebag. It's like he loved it. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. Reminds me of somebody. Dylan. No. Oh.

Not on the show, show adjacent though. Dylan. No. Oh. Not on the show. Show adjacent though. I think my MVP might be Laurie. Played by Carrie Coon thus far. Cup. Cup. All right. Wow. Two allies over here and Dylan's just... You know what? Randy, give me an ally point please. Hey, here's an ally point. Also, would you like some more clarity on the King Cobra bee rattlesnake? Yeah. Oh, okay. Hey there. Have they fought? Hey there audience at home. This is producer Randy with a fun animal factoid. Today's fun animal factoid comes from A to Z animals.com. While the venom in a king cobra is technically weaker than that of a rattlesnake king cobras inject enough venom to kill multiple people when threatened.

This makes the king cobras more dangerous than rattlesnakes, but bull snakes prefer to avoid conflict. So there you go. They prefer to avoid conflict. Yes. Yeah. So they're not gonna like seek you out. Right, right. They'll punch you down, but they'll defend themselves

if they feel threatened. So the cobra's weaker venom, but gives you more of it so that you'll die. More venom. Thank you, Randy. You're welcome. It is insightful. It's the King Cobra.

Yeah, it's not the Prince Cobra. No. No, sir. It's not, you know. I just have a general rule. I just don't fuck with snakes at all. I don't care if they're a Gardener snake or a King Cobra. if they're a gardener snake or a king cobra.

I'll never forget that that toast you gave a few years back. Which one? I've given so many. It was like it was weird. You like two things I don't fuck with snakes and condoms. Brought their house down to you. We're like, dude, darn, you are. Yeah, I was kind of my bag that night. You were on one. Thanks for down, dude. People were like, dude, Dorn, you are a fucking, oh man. I was kind of in my bag that night. You were on one, man. Thanks for noticing, man.

Dude. Dude, imagine if that gardener snake was in Thailand. No. On the White Lotus. It's just trimming these alias. You wanna let me out? They did have some good landscaping B-roll last night. They did, yeah.

The property looks dope. Yesterday's episode was shot very cool. The upside, just the different camera shots, Tim bent over, we had, when they were doing the yoga stuff, they had a lot of different views. It was kinda cool. How long are these people on vacation for, by the way?

They said a week. They're gonna be there for just a week? They said a week. Because Goggins is leaving for two days. It's gonna be gone a couple days. Someone said, someone like someone in the show last night said like, we're only here, we're here for five more days. Okay.

And so yeah. Okay. But like, I don't know. There's always a narrative of like people saying that what like white Lotus is dumb because they all eat at the hotel the entire time and stuff like that. And it's like, no, if you're at a hotel that's as nice as a white Lotus, like that's what you do.

Yeah. I'd like to get my posture adjusted. Yeah, sounds great. Although it's much more than that. I noticed you have your right leg over your left. So you're not giving your feminine energy today. Yeah, that kid. Not an ally.

That dude definitely sits like me. When I was watching that scene, I was like, oh, I'd be getting roasted in here right now. Are you defensive posture? Yeah. Yeah, I'm alpha man spread. Yeah, we know, dude. You gotta, you gotta keep

them spread. You don't wanna sit next to me on the subway. That shirt sneaky goes real hard.

I saw this on the TL earlier and it caught my attention There is a guy named Justin Tyne and he said he's this first picture he's holding up

psychedelic mushroom and it is massive. It's about the size of uh, I Don't know like a really like a jumbo doll. I don't know what what size is that? It's fucking big. Whoa fellas And he says I'd half of it a little over 12 grams I'm a different person and I like this person a lot more most brutal and shattering but needed experience of my life I don't recommend this dose to most people unless you're ready to die and come back as someone else. The most I have done personally is 333 milligrams which is 1 36th of what this gentleman did. You're such a poser. I am. You are poser. I can't imagine that much and he later would go on to say that for everyone losing their shit in the comments I've been fighting cancer and almost dying of leukemia for two years and I beat it

Got pretty hard to recognize myself for a long time and made me very depressed I'm not telling anyone to do what I do and mushrooms aren't drugs Is what he said? Okay federal government would have a word with that but 12 grams See how he's holding it in that bottom left picture pull that up randy So like at some point in human history someone Was picked up a mushroom just like this looked at it was like well. I'm gonna fucking eat this yeah We're gonna find out they experienced some shit There's no telling

Would somebody had to be the first would you be able to identify a psychedelic mushroom if you saw it? Just like occurring in nature. Now. What was it to do with the cow shit? As parks, they grow from cows. Yeah, don't you have a fucking son and partner who owns a cattle company? Parks knows this, knows the answers for us. I heard he's getting into it for the new wave benefits. Is it the only way to find it?

No, it probably grows elsewhere in nature, but that's like one way. Or there's a guy in my building who grows it in his closet. Right. Then he makes chocolates and hands them out for free. Well, he has a cow in there. Can you get some for some people?

You probably got a spade trip coming up. This guy's weird though. I don't know if I want to talk to him too much. See, I just had a dude named James in my old apartment who made bread and dropped it off my door. Don't even know what the guy looks like though. I don't know if I want to talk to him too much. He might just had a dude named James in my old apartment who made bread and dropped it off my door. I don't even know what the guy looks like, but I... What did this dude say to me last time? Okay, he was... I heard him cussing out the side of the doors and he came in and he goes... He got in the elevator with me. This is the same guy who grows the mushrooms. He's a little quirky.

He said, sorry, dude. I did way too many shrooms. He said I licked the something for the first time. I don't recommend it What did he say? Frog could be a number of things actually Dylan You had a recent conversation with me about it think it's a turn It's a mushroom term that means something that I'm unaware could be the underside of a toad. This dude does a lot of mushrooms apparently but 12 grams You find anything well a lot of mushrooms apparently, but 12 grams. You finding anything, Will?

I'm trying to Google the word lick along with shrooms. Yeah. You know, man, I don't know, we're just classic custies over here. Don't know the first thing about getting drugs. You know, if you're really looking, there could be a restaurant here in town and a guy who works there might just kind of let you know, if you're really looking, there's a, it could be a restaurant here in town and a guy who works there might just kind of let you know, hey, here's my car, I do this.

By the way, that guy's still, he works the room now. He's the man, he's been there forever. He knows, he daps everyone up as a conversation with everyone in there that he recognizes, he's awesome. Think he thinks I'm a narc, man. Like I talk to him every time I'm in there and he never has once offered me drugs. That's lame.

I know. You are a narc. You know what, I actually, this is a dub for me. As a guy who was not accepted by the people at the Wheatsville Co-op, I feel like I've vindicated that I was offered a card and some unsolicited drugs from this guy. Yeah, Dave got profiled years ago

when he and I were at the local co-op. They asked if I was a member at the co-op after not asking Dave if he was a member. I knew. I get it. You know, there's a total pivot here. There's a paper boy opening up across the street. You guys know much about the restaurant? Across the street from where?

It's where that new apartment building is over there. So not directly across the street. Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. Paperboy gets really rode for as one of the best breakfasts in town. Really? Oh yeah. I've never been.

My issue is that I don't wanna go to a food truck for breakfast most of the time. This is a brick and mortar. They have a brick and mortar? Yeah. Yeah, it's nothing against food trucks, but like, I don't know. There's something that I'm missing there.

Can I get a Texas strip? Old Texas strip chopped up with some eggs? They specialize in breakfast and lunch, coffee and cocktails. I don't know if strip is gonna be in play. That's my question. No. Was it, to go completely,

it was called licking the slime? No. I forgot what he said, licking the blank. He's still, that's good producing though. I mean, he was on Mushroom, so he might not, this might not be a classic saying, he might've just said some shit. Very true.

Like last time I did a big dose, I thought my leg hair was falling off me in Brett's bathroom, so. They do have steak and eggs, Dave. Does it say what the cut is? No. Oh, it's yeah, it does. Dean and Peeler Denver cut.

Okay. Nah. So it's not a Texas strip. It's not a Texas strip, unfortunately. Nah, what's the point? Yeah. Like I said outside, when we were talking about the mushroom thing earlier,

if anyone's interested, there's a show on Netflix called How to Change Your Mind. And they like go through different drugs. And there's one episode that I watched on psilocybin. And it pretty much explains a guy that take like a dose of this. He went through like his whole journey. And it's, it's kind of wild shit. Sounds like your neighbor was psilocybin. Yeah. Yeah. Nope. I think this dude just got like the biggest mushroom he's ever seen and just wanted to tweet about it. You don't think he actually took half of it?

No, I think he might have. I think he might have, but is there a point where you're in your body, you're just like, well, you're going to go to sleep now. Like you took way too much. So like, we're not going to ride this out. We don't even know how to like, we don't even know what to show you. Like, we're just gonna have to just sleep for like 15 hours. Maybe you'll wake up different. Maybe you won't. Either way, you're gonna tell everybody about it. It's just wild to

me that you can take something that like kills the current version of you and then you become someone completely different. I don't know if I want that. Does it? I mean, he says it does. He's not the only one who's used that terminology before. What if you have to be open to it for it to do that? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I don't know. Like you go into it wanting to be somebody else.

I mean, Dylan, there are limits to where we can travel in the world. There are no limits to where your mind can take you. That's so fucking true, man. My mind sometimes takes me to the make him say, oh video. And I'm on the no limit tank. And like mysticals on the basketball hoop. Remember that one?

Yeah. That was a fucking great video. Hey, Will, someone did tweet at me yesterday and said that they experienced the same thing that we were talking about the other day. Your mind takes you to a specific location. We never got a name for that. We know we did contextual anchoring. Yeah, contextual anchoring. So it's when your brain needlessly anchors a location to a memory that you have, even though

they're not associated. Okay. Thanks. Yeah, someone read it said it's like the mind palace. But I think that's something different. The mind palace. Mind palace. Because I want somewhere dope, I go to a bank parking lot. It makes no sense.

No, it's different. Yeah. It's different. I get why they would say that, but it's different. Yeah, totally different. But I get where I get it. There's something. They're similar. There's something related to that, but yeah, it totally different. But I get where I get it. There's something.

There's something related to that. But yeah, it's different. Yeah, I didn't have anyone reach out to me. I mostly just was asked if we smoked weed before that segment. No, we didn't. No, no. Randy might have. Well, I don't smoke weed that much.

Just do it. But I think I am on team. I don't experience that. You guys you guys see Dylan's the only person I hit up my friend who I thought I had had this conversation with numerous times asking because I finally figured out what to call it and he was like I don't know you're talking about them no one fucked myself hmm no are we not gonna confront that this mushroom looks like something I didn't want to say it. No, are we not going to confront that this mushroom looks like something? I didn't want to say it. Well, there's a couple different ways. It looks like

the dune popcorn bucket. Yeah, go ahead, Randy. Put it up. You know you want to. No. It looks like a gold plated dune popcorn bucket. Dune two got some awards last night, huh? Randy, Why did you buy another one on eBay? I wanted one used. How much do you think a Dune popcorn bucket goes for on eBay? $64.99.

Any guesses, Dylan? How much did you say? Don't steal my guess. Just guess. $195. We've gone like $46. $195. It's going like 46. Oh, well. These are range.

Most of these are over $100. What? Dude, who, why did they make this? Like are the cheaper ones like gently used? Someone's done it. I mean, that's crazy. Can you imagine, can you imagine paying $160 for a dune popcorn bucket? No, you gotta be crazy horny to do that. I just I typically spend my money in

other ways. Just go get a flashlight instead. What's that? I don't know. A flashlight? What are you saying? Yeah, I don't think. A flashlight? What are you saying? Yeah, I don't think the popcorn bucket lights up. I think a flashlight's less expensive. I've never purchased one, I would imagine. Think the movie theaters would be happy if you were shining a flashlight around. Yeah, that'd be annoying for the other patrons. Yeah, that'd be fucking tough, dude.

They'll give you one warning. We should probably call it. Oh, don't. Why? Because you don't want to mansplain plane what a flashlight is pussy yeah actually yeah exactly one in your pocket all right I can't fit one of those in my pocket I can barely fit this iPhone in there bye Thanks for watching guys!
