All right, we're back. Circling Back Podcasts Monday morning. My name is Dave. Welcome to the show. Joining us to produce. This guy's going to be here all week, none other than friend of the show. Dan Regester. Dan, the man from the side of the hill.

That's what my name means, yeah. We learned that. What's up? What a player? Feeling the energy. That's the attempt to get the energy. No, I'm going to be completely honest, right? About four minutes ago, we heard a really loud boom.

Yes. And it, you know, immediately think thunder. But it didn't have like the, it was a boom and done. It didn't have like the low-key rumble after. So we don't know what that was. And I walked outside and assessed the situation. Didn't see anything. Nobody else was out there.

So troubling times. Troubling times. Yeah, we're just going to. I'm just on that booming. loud. Yeah, maybe it was maybe somebody out there was in the bathroom. I'm going to name names. No, I'm just kidding. Well, welcome, Dan. We're excited to have you here all week, Bob.

Happy to be here. It's Dan Week. It's Dan Week. So, you might be thinking, what if something goes wrong with, like, production? I guess that's on Dan. It's actually not. It's on this guy. Randy Trembach. Because Dan is merely his proxy. Hi, Dave. He's your proxy. This is a lead from the front. This is the first time that I've ever been on the podcast. sitting here. There's not many opportunities why I would be sitting here, but look at that.

We actually did a lot of research, and it turns out the listeners prefer you to be on the other side of the camera. We tested it. You tested well behind the camera. We, uh, we, uh, we, uh, hey, I converted one person this weekend, more on that later. Hey, what are you doing with your foot? Like, Kelly's got his foot, like, I'm just, I just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just what are you doing? Nobody sits like that. What are you doing? I'm going to be honest. I'm going to be honest with you, this is a shit couch. Dude, what are you doing? Why? It's not

broken. That's the weirdest way I've ever seen someone put their foot on the floor. It's whatever. It's like... I'm just propped up. Like you're wearing a... I'm ready, I'm in the starting blocks, ready to fucking sprint out of here to go to Hawaii. That's what's up. It's like it's in high heel position. Oh,

tire blew out. Tire blew out. The tire blew out on the garbage truck. Huh. Well, there we go. A tire made that noise? I guess so. Damn. Thank you for the update. Stay woke. We're tracking.

I put too much air in it, I guess. I don't know what happened. Well, I'm glad it's not an explosion. It was an explosion. I'm a tired. I mean, I'm glad we're not being attacked. Yeah. Now it sucks.

For more insight like that, let me introduce Dylan Shivry. Man, I'll tell you what. Fresh off a meetup, especially one of that caliber. I just have a whole new perspective on what we do, you know, this show, the lives that we touch out there. It's just a wonderful thing. Reach out and touch lives. Reach out and touch backers.

That's what I was doing on Saturday night. Were you? People were calling you out for being a hoverhand. Dude, I do hover hand. You take a picture of me. My hand's going on your shoulders straight off. I'm about, I'm six inches off. Six feet from the lane.

Look at us. Little Creed. Yeah. I can't believe Dylan and I are both wearing hats and our Warby Parkers right now with our mustaches. I like it. Am I looking bigger than Dylan on camera right now? Yeah. So where is this, uh, you're really, you're really volume shooting?

Is this like pre-trip, like, years or is this just you're excited? He's got the goofies, man. Are you excited? I'm about to go to Hawaii. So you're checked out. You're wearing that to Hawaii? Uh-huh. I'm wearing on the plane.

I have about, like, a fucking. fucking 15-hour travel day ahead of me. But your girlfriend's going to see you looking like that for the first time in months? See, my girlfriend loves me no matter what I look like. I don't know, man. You're still early on. Okay. I do, throw a floral shirt on.

Lean into it. Hey, hey, here you go. You're not going to get laid in that shirt. You know, when you get off the plane, they've got to lay there. Do they still do that? Dude, I have a floral shirt you can borrow. I have a floral shirt. You don't think I have floral shirts?

You're not wearing. You're going to hold a while. What else are you going to worry if I'm going to worry to Hawaii around? We've got big things popping. Tomorrow, exactly five minutes. That's where we get the doohickey in here, and we spin it up and get a bingo ball, and we reference a spreadsheet.

We're the only podcast that references a spreadsheet. I'll put a prompt, a prompt seeking your questions, prompts, things of that nature, here shortly after the show. But exactly five minutes on Patreon tomorrow. Um, should be a fun one. And then, of course, we always do listener voicemails. Let's drop Friday 888, 61848-422. Get to the pipeline.

I actually met a couple people. One guy in particular who, uh, he was one of the guys who has trouble with the pipeline. He's like, it cuts me off. Yeah. It's like, it happens to like 5% of the people who call. And you guys told him to go talk to me about it. Yeah, we did. Yeah.

Yeah. You know what else I heard from a backer on Saturday? That. Patreon just rejects their credit card every single time he tries to renew, which is a major fucking problem. Sounds like a broke boy. No. No, it's not, he says it's not the card.

He says it just will not accept. He's not the card. He will not accept whatever he's using and it just keeps declining. So he gave up. Figure it out. He'd find a way. Fuck, that could be a serious problem. Oh, it's a huge problem.

We have that too. Really? Yeah. People's credit cards get denied all the time. I'm going to email a page. Patreon today and say, hey, what the fuck is up? That's what I'm going to say. I'm going to say, figure it out.

Find a way. Hey, people are trying to give you monies and you're not accepting. Don't make us migrate our issue over to... Don't make us migrating. We'll fucking migrate on your ass. What's the other one spot? No one really knows. No, we thought about it.

It's just bullshit, man. Oh, what else? Got a newsletter that drops every Friday, right to your inbox. Washed.substack.com. Speaking of Patreon, have you been getting any Greek Week submissions yet? I have not looked. I don't know. Okay, well, it's Greek Week this Patreon month. So go ahead and email it.

The final week, the final Tuesday. Can I do, I can do it? It's the final week. I got the whole thing, bud. Is it on there? Yes. You wrote Greek Week or somebody did. Whoever did, thank you.

You're welcome. The final Tuesday on Patreon is, we always do a theme. it's a new thing. It's going to be Greek week. We had so much fun talking Iowa hazing that we just want to hear Greek stories. Fraternity, sorority, things of that nature. Societies, what are those things? Secret societies?

Not every college has Greek like they have like the social clubs. Oh, yeah. But I'll count it. I'll allow it. Like the nerd colleges, you mean? The Flat Hat Society. I've never heard that term. I think our friends at ACU have something like that.

this. Skull and bones rushed me pretty hard actually. Yeah. I was like, I don't know, man,

you guys are kind of weird. Yeah, now you're a skull and old bag of bones. I was like, I kind of just want to go frat with the boys. I don't know if you guys

heard that, skull and old bag of bones. Dan, the bottom right is the sound bank is the laugh track. Here, hold on,

hold on, hold on, Dan. Let me run this back for the folks. Let me set it up. I go. Actually,

skull and bones rushed me, but I was like, I don't know, I just want to fret with the boys. Yeah, you might have more luck with skull and old bag of bones. Oh, God, that's so good. That is. It's so good.

Seriously. Always, subscribe to our stuff on YouTube. There's probably people watching it live right now, probably in the chat, mixing it up. YouTube.com slash circling back. And that is that. Anything else you guys want to discuss in this early portion of the show before I jump No. No. I'm good. Okay. Well, right now, Dan, we're going to recap this weekend and fun, presented by our good friends at Poncho.

The green one on the left. Just teaching them on the fly, the seminar left some things out. Sell the sausage is made, boys. We had the party, and it was lit. I got yelled out by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun, and they'd go with it. Let's go. This weekend and fun, presented by Poncho outdoors.

What up? Hey. What'd you get into? Was your weekend bleak? I just followed you guys around. You didn't know it, but I just followed you up to Dallas. You were tracking us? Yeah.

You were lurking? Were you protecting us just in case? Just in case, in the shadows. God, that's so great. It's good to have a... Someone like Dan on our side. It's good to have a big guy like Dan getting your back. You never know.

Yeah, you are meeting some of these people for the first time. You don't know what their intentions are. That's true. That's true. We are very vulnerable with these things. Yeah, they could just get us. People like, ah, dude, drink this. Okay. Thanks, we're not kidnapping us. Could have kidnapped us?

We appreciate that. We've said some unkind things about the country of North Korea. Maybe he sends an assassin, maybe blows poison in your face. Dylan was their biggest fan for a while. Yeah, Dylan was sneaky a cheerleader of the regime. Me too. I wouldn't say cheerleader. Nobody gassed up Kim Jong more than you, though.

Actually, both of us did quite often for TFM. he does peak my interest quite a bit which is the nicest thing I could say about him he's fucking he's a loony he's a looney tune man yeah he's really like that though I guess um no I'm not I'm not no I didn't think you're gonna go with North Korea

just blowing poison people's faces like Tijiri and WWF next thing you know you catch a dart and you're like what the hell is that I had uh I had get to that in my weekend. I had something that I thought I had been attacked at the meetup. I don't know if I told you all this. But no, I stayed in town. I was in Austin, Texas. Jupompe? Played a little course called Jimmy Clay on Friday. Okay. My last round on the

70s was at Jimmy Clay. Jimmy Clay is nice. It's enjoyable. I'm starting to play some good golf. Every time I play Jimmy Clay, they call me Himmy Clay because I'm just fucking knocking pins down. Are you though? When was the last time you played Jimmy Clay? I've only played it once in my life and I shot like a 96, I think. I think it's easier in the courses. It's pretty easy. It's simple. You can get past that first tee shot.

You're fine. Over the water? Yeah. Hey, just as you know, I was lying. They don't really call me himy clay out there. Oh. Yeah. Dan and I played the front nine twice recently.

We heard about that. Yeah. So shot in 85, went 4540. Nice. Yeah. Dan's trending. Maybe he's hemie clay. His name is Dan.

Oh. Was a little disappointed, though. What did you play with? Randos. Just walked on five minutes before my T-Town. Sick. Yeah. Were they like love of the game, man?

Damn. What if Dan walks up and he's your fourth? Actually, he got paired with a guy that I didn't really care for. He just pipe. Really? Yeah. Didn't care for this guy. Why not?

He was okay. He was good, but just his attitude. Do you have his name and address? I'll go beat the shit out. I don't remember his name. His other boy that he was with was cool. He played football, like D-2 football. But the other guy,

He sucked guys. Was he rude to you? Kind of? He just didn't really, he wasn't receptive to like, oh, I'd be like good shout or whatever, and he just kind of brush it off. He was locked in. I guess. A man of your size, he's just going to fucking big time he like that?

Oh, he also tried to start a fight with somebody else on the course, yeah. What, pace of play situation? This guy's a little attitude problem. He did have an attitude problem. So we're on the par 516. Mm-hmm. And we're walking off. Next group's coming through.

dude hits into us, not into us, but like he hits towards the green on his second shot, you know, going for it, just misses a little bit. It wasn't even close to hitting us. Like, didn't say four or anything, but I was fine with it. I was like, not a problem. And he suddenly just gets in this dude's face. Really? Yeah.

So he drove back, did he wait, or did he, like, drive back to him, be like, hey? No, I mean, they were coming towards us because the T-box on 17 is like right next to the green on 16. So they were having words. Gotcha. I thought I was going to see a fight on the golf course. Did you get your phone out? I was about to. You're going to break it up or you're just going to record?

Because you don't know that guy. You don't owe him anything. I owed him. Actually, I would have probably joined the other guy. I would be a ass. You turn? Total heel. You sneak out from behind with a chair?

Yeah. Oh, man. Out from under the ring. Sledgehammer like Triple H. How many chairs out there? These days, like, if you get in any kind of golf course altercation, you can bet. There's no group more ready to have their phone out to post. Because they know, like, dude, if I get this to,

Zeyer Golf or something, it's just going off. It's the most hilarious kind of fight as a golf course. Typically, guys on the golf course, unless you run into an ex hockey goon. You're not going to find a guy who can fight. A couple mixed martial arts dudes. I mean, Justin Gagee, he's a huge golfer.

Justin Gagee, yeah. If you were to... I'm not going to, I'm typically not going to pick smoke with him. Which club out of your bag would you use for a weapon? Going with an iron. It's got to be an iron, yeah. I'm going probably three iron. I'm probably getting my sword out. What about a putter? Yeah, Randy has a machete as well. What about a putter? It's got the

heavy head on it. Putter's the move, I think. Putter or long iron? I see, but like, man, you got the distance with the reach with the driver, you know? Yeah, but the driver's going to break. Yeah, that shaft is very fragile. That's true. That's true, yeah. So you've got to go with your longest iron probably.

Reach is big in fights like that. Let me tell you, as a swordsman myself, tell you. That's why I keep a belly putter in my bag at all times you got reaching you got the heavy the heaviness of the oxhair yeah yeah yeah I actually have a button on my putter I just have to hit it twice and uh it like the head of the putter like drops down and it's connected to the shaft by a chain yeah I can swing it around what's up dude like a mace I love that I didn't know you had that yeah oh it's a new addition Odyssey's only been making it for like I believe that's a flail David is that a flail

is it is technically a well what's a maze it's just like a I don't Mace is what I work out with when I go to Onet. Mace is what those boners bring to Barton Springs and work out in front of everybody. Yeah, that's, okay, yeah, that is a mace. Yeah, Mace pretty much like a stick with a heavy thing at the top. Mm-hmm. When I stick, it's usually metal, but yeah.

Okay. Anyways. Well, that's quite the round of golf. Yeah. And then... How'd you guys end it? Did you shake hands? Take your hat off?

Yeah, kind of just shook his hand, didn't really look at him. Okay. I took the hat off, though. Being respectable. Nice. And watch the fights Saturday. That was disappointing. That fight sucked.

Yeah. BMF title. Charles just took Max down the entire time. No, nobody wants to see that. No. And watch Bay Hill on Sunday. So, had a nice little payday with Akshay. Let's go.

Yeah. It's finally first one of the year on the board. Just good to see it got through the hoop. Dan's trending, dude. Yeah, he is. You're trending in the right direction. Players week, though. It's players week.

I mean. It's Dan Week. It's Dan Week, so it's only appropriate. I mean, look, we may have to do a whole seg this week. Maybe a tell the story of our trip to Pontevira. Again, for like the 12th time. Yeah, we tell it like pretty much every time you're here, but it's fun. It was a fun trip. It was a really fun trip, man.

When's the last time you rode bikes with your boys? Honestly, that was it. That was the last time I was on a bike with friends of mine. Go into an event, riding a bike. A crazy event. It was a bad idea to ride the bike. I liked it. Where y'all messed up was letting me be the navigator.

Yeah, I don't know what we were thinking. I forgot we were on like the side of a highway. We were literally for like three miles. You ever like, it was only a mile away. It was a fucking beach cruiser too. It was not meant for long distance. We went the wrong way and it was only like it was a mile to the actual course. I know.

I ended up on the side of the highway. We were driving down the highway yesterday and I saw somebody like walking on the shoulder of the road. And I was like, ooh, in my head like, God, what's going on there? You need to be a cruiser. Somebody was thinking that with us. Yeah. But multiple people were like, ooh, those guys are right?

Those bikes are not supposed to be highway bikes. Yeah, they took them a little far, a little on their skis there. All right, well, let's talk meet up. Meet up. Meet up. All right, let's start with Friday. Yeah, we left here what time? About 12, 45.

We picked up Randy. Dylan and Brett came to my house, dropped their cars off. I drove, went and picked Randall up. We were a little later than normal. Randy had to eat lunch. I had to work. I had to do retail therapy in the morning. And he had to eat lunch, love lunch.

And we got him in the car. Hit the road. Straight shot there. No pit stops, right? No pit stops. Very little traffic. I mean, we had some of us. A little slow down to wake up.

No big, like, traffic jams. No, wasn't bad. It was pretty smooth. We were riding that south wind behind us, so we did pretty well on the gas front. Got to our, well, hit a beer, hit a gas station for some beers. Had an impromptu call with Clay in the parking lot, flounder. Got to the Verbo.

Verbo was fine. It was adequate. That area, we stayed over off of like Munger, just south of Lower Greenville, probably about four or five minutes south. Um, you know, it looked like somebody was like, I'm going to do a really cheap remodel of this and make it a verbo. And put an addition on that might, may or may not have a leaky roof. Yeah.

It felt like the whole house was IKEA. Like the actual structure was like you could buy a house at IKEA and then assemble it on site. Yeah. That's a good way of putting it. Um, but adequate didn't have too many issues. Uh, had the shower that didn't have like a. full glass door. It was just half of it.

So you had to be very aware of, like, the water splashing out on the floor. Dave had his own bathroom. Yeah, I thought I did. Yeah, someone kept using it. Okay, this is the dumbest thing of all the time. We had two bathrooms, and the first night, we had four people. And one of the bathrooms was in Dave's, Dave's, they've had the primary. I had the washer dryer.

And I was like, hey, Dave, I'm just going to use your bathroom. so it's like two and two. And Dave, that just didn't sit well with Dave. He wanted his own situation. So every time I needed to like take a leak or whatever, Dave was like, dude, what do you? God, dude. Piece of shit. I was like, I can't believe you'd do that.

It was just white trash move. It wasn't white trash at all. Just the way you went about it. I didn't even use your shower. I did you a favor because my shower had one temp. The temp was slightly too hot. And also the water situation. And it was just a bad shower, dude.

Y'all had the better shower. Whatever. It was better. Water pressure wasn't great, though. Dinner at Los Palmas. So shout out to Nick. Oh, my God. Listener, Nick, who was at the meetup, and he got us a resi at Los Palmas, which, for what I understand is a difficult one to get.

Alyssa was looking last night because now she was like, oh, we got to go. Dude, it was such a cool. She said you can't get a res for like a month. That's crazy. Yeah. And so Nick, I guess he knows the owner. They're pledged brothers. They thought we were somebody.

Because we sat down and it was it was the four of us plus our friends Klein and Ross. And they just started, they just started bringing us appetizers. From the moment we sat down, it was like, you guys got to try this. It was like we had the table too. It was a prime time table. They brought us a very nice tequila to sip on right when we sat down as well, which it was really good. Yeah, and they just took great care of us. Like we were, I don't know.

And Dave, you want to issue your take? Well, you said that I agree with? Yeah. I thought it was the best case I had ever had. Yes, the Caso Blanco was just, it was amazing. I agree with Dave. It would be at top my app draft, for sure. Those little steak bites were delicious, too.

Wouldn't know, I'm a good Catholic boy, and I'm going to heaven. We, I'm not. We have shout out, first of all, I believe the GM, Jesus. Shout out. Came by. And then we had our way. was Abe? Abraham?

He said, Aby? A.B. is what we could call him? Great guy. He was great. Especially since the bar we went to beforehand, we had probably maybe the worst service ever.

Yeah, Blackfriars gone downhill a little bit. Dylan waited 15 minutes for a cup to put his beer in. Yeah, he was tough. Well, actually, he kind of should not have ordered a Sam Smith nut ale. I had to stick to the thing I'd gas up all the time on the show. Yeah. I got the Wagyu for him. The fajitas, Klein and I did, and Ross, with the bone marrow butter that they spread on top.

Yeah, we posted a little video of that moment. It looked really great. Flavor was elite. Rainy and I went with shrimp and lobster enchiladas. Which were great, too. I mean, everything on there was delicious. It was awesome. Great spot, man.

The drinks that hit us, like, we're like, all right, well, let's not go too hard. You know, we've got a big day tomorrow. Oh, by the way, here's a clarifying. I had a margarita. At the very end of the night. Yeah, which we didn't need, I don't think. Okay. And then they're like, you guys want to see some dessert options?

We're like, yeah, probably. I did just a regular margarita. What were you guys drinking? You inclined, the Cokes? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn, I can't remember the name. Because there's a different name. There's a Cuban name and a Mexican name.

Well, it was a Cuba Libre with tequila instead of rum, right? Yeah. So it was, it was tequila, Coke, lime. and it was really good. It was very good. I'd never heard of that, but I'm now intrigued. Yeah, it is a very good Friday night drink, like especially if you're going to another bar, which we did.

We went to Milo's. Milo Butterfinger. Where were the oldest? Were Dylan and I the oldest guys there? No. There was a few older, but not many. Apparently we missed Tiffany Gomez by just a little bit that night. She was there.

I mean, no disrespect to her. I don't know if I was. would recognize her. I would. I know. Yeah. I mean, you guys,

you, you've, you've, you've chatted online. She was a, she, she was in our comments at some point on some video we did.

What did we do? I've met her. We've chatted. You met her? Yeah. It's fine. It's fine. Like,

she's fine. I mean, she's like a normal person. I don't know. She still wouldn't tell us what she saw. Saw on the plane. Oh, yeah,

yeah, forgot about, that's how she got famous. That motherfucker. not real. I'll tell you why I didn't miss at that bar, the group of people that walked in with a bunch of medieval times crowns. And for everyone wanting to know, no, did not go to Medieval Times.

Did not go to JFK. That's about it. I'm sorry, Randy. It's okay. All right. A Tiffany Gomez pick would have gone off. All right, let's do actual meetup talk. Hold on. I'm not done with Milos.

Yeah. Okay. Milo is an absolute scene. It is. That's a great. First of all, I guess they've redone it. It's SMU student central. It's SMU.

It looks like the target demo there is going to be like 21 to 29. Yeah, definitely. And then us. And we were just kind of the guys like, hey, we're here. I was there for 30. I didn't get a drink. Yeah, I knew that I. I had a couple beers.

I was spent. Brett and I stayed. It was good. Brett enjoyed his time. I think Brett might go back. You know, as someone who's very close to me in age, You? Yeah.

I'm impressed with your, your endurance while out. Do you be talking to the ladies? Oh. No, no, no. Just your, on days when we go out drinking, like I have to tap out like way before you do. And I do some like,

damn, that guy still fucking got it, man. Yeah, I'm different. At a meetup, you'll be there until the last person. We had to drag you away from the meetup, even though it was like an hour and a half after the meetup had ended. Like, Dave, we got to go eat. I'm him. You kind of are.

I do a lot of drugs in the bathroom. Okay, I didn't know that. People think like, oh, Dave's peeing again. Now Dave's in there just doing some... Yeah, I didn't do it. Days in there doing V's and Cox. I didn't do any drugs. No, you didn't.

No, I don't... I've gotten better... You know what it is? I've gotten better at pacing myself. Okay. You'll never really see me, too. I was a little bit on one at the meetup, the longer it went on,

because, like, I just... Once you get into, like, a good conversation, and there's like, you know, a couple different groups of listeners. And you're kind of going. You kind of really just start rolling. And then I can ride that way for a little bit. But once we went to dinner post meetup, I was like, I was like, yeah, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going home after this. Those things just wear me out, those meetups. So Saturday it was rainy. We were tracking it. I was pretty nervous all day because I was not completely familiar with truckyards game. I didn't know how they, I knew some of it was covered, but I didn't know how. much. There's a list that who's like, Dave, what's your plan? Truck yard's like 99% outside. And that threw me for a loop. Now, a friend of the show, Landry, who he did meet up with later

on, was like, no, that's not accurate. And when we got to, before truck yard, honestly, we went to good ones. Great spot. Recommend good ones. Randy got the mini glizzies. I got the mini Chicago glizzies, and they were quite good. I mean, everything was good. there. Yeah. It was a good spot. Got bread. You guys broke bread?

We guys broke bread. Brett got Nancy's dip, which was good. I don't know what was... Yeah, it was good dip. I had some drinks. Yeah, Landry came, met up us at the bar, and then we went back home just for a little bit, and then we hit it over to... Truck yard.

Truck yard. While it was pouring, by the way. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was very... happy with the amount of the bar that was covered because it was nice. I think that it kept people away that weren't part of the meetup. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think we may have, I talked to one of the listeners about this.

I think if we had like great weather, we might have been in some trouble. Like, because he said that place gets slammed. Yeah. It's nice out. So it kind of worked in our favor because I would say, I would say probably 85% of the people there were there for us. And it was great. It was a great turnout, too.

Like, I felt like there was never a time where I didn't, I wasn't in a conversation. And like I was, you know, cycling through new people all the time. Yeah. Pound for pound. Speaking of just meetups that we've had, this might be my favorite group. I get it, man. No disrespect to the other places we've done. Everyone's been fantastic along the way.

But this was just a particularly strong group of folks, man. It was awesome. Because I think it wasn't overwhelming, but it was like a lot of people I've seen before. A lot of people we've met for sure. Previous meetups, Dallas meetup. There was somebody there who, there was that couple there that was at the Chicago meetup. Oh, actually, I have something that will get, you guys keep talking. We had kids at this meetup.

That's a first. We had like three kids. Shout out to Cam. Augie And what was our gal's name, her kid? Robbie. Robbie. Those are the three kids, I believe.

I got to hold Robbie. I didn't get to hold. She was like, I don't trust you. I held Robbie and Robbie, he sort of liked me. He started reaching for Mom after about a minute, which is fine. The kids that I interacted with all had a lot of personality, and I was just thinking like my two-year-old would not be doing this well. Yeah.

He's a shy boy. Yeah. When do you start bringing your kids to the meetups? Yeah, I don't know, man. When are we going to do like a... In fact, when do you start bringing your kids into the fold for the podcast? Because I imagine you guys are going to pass your podcast down to them. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, this is there. Yeah, we'll see about it. I want my kids to be nepo kids, for sure. Not automation. You're just going to replace everybody with nepotism. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to replace ourselves with AI. So it'll be my kid, kind of like doing like what Glenn Beck's doing with George Washington.

Only to be my kid talking to AI me. Yeah. Even though you're very much alive. Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to be playing golf. I'm going to be playing Jimmy Clay with you. Let's go. Shooting 85s. Where did you go?

Did you get something? I went to go get something that I forgot. I put in my laptop bag and I brought my backpack in today. So we had like a lot of at least three backers that were, one that just got engaged, like ones that walked out to their wedding reception to the circling back theme song. Wow. So I just ran to go get it. That's a lot. And then another one that's a lot.

That's a lot. married, because on Hinge, she had put, like, she can't stop talking about the circling back podcast. They got married. And at their wedding, that every single table, like, was a theme, a different bit from the podcast. So they gave us all the place cards for it. So I meant to bring them in today.

They're in my laptop bag. Oh, wow. I talked to a couple who realized that they were both circling back listeners on, like, I forgot what they told me, like, first or second date. Like, they didn't meet through the podcast, but they. they bonded over the fact that they were both listeners and they didn't find out until they actually met each other, which I found to be pretty remarkable.

What if you're on a first date and it's like kind of, it's going okay, but you could see it's like teetering. And then like you just look at there's a lull in the conversation and you're just kind of looking around and all of a sudden she just goes, so what's doing's deal? So thank you for the place cards.

I'll bring them in next week once because they're in my laptop bag and we'll put them somewhere, at least one in the studio somewhere, because that's cool. Their whole wedding was like circling back themed. That is cool. Dave's got something too that we got. Oh, that thanks to Adam.

Becker Adam. Same guy who gave us to Arts Jersey, by the way. Got a sanders. Neon, Dion. That's sick. Sign jersey. Hang it somewhere. I forgot that.

We'll make room. I forgot that I was a ward at some point. And then I was looking in the background of a photo I was tagged in. Yeah. And I was just in the back wearing it. I was like, oh yeah, there was about an eight-minute period where I wore it, and then I realized that's a bad idea. Because it's like, that's a, look at this.

This is a, it's a real deal jersey. Were you guys talking about the babies that were at the meetup? We did. Yeah, we shouted them out. Yeah. Power rank them. But I, oh, I'll tell you who's number one. Dusty, the one at first, his son.

Cam. He falls asleep to Kenny Chesney. He told me about them. Like, oh, I love that. I have a little. No shoes nation baby. He's falling off my board then. No, no, he's number one for me. Yeah, I'm not to docking for that. He's a No Shoes Nation baby, and I love it. So, shouts to him.

Yeah, he had his monster truck. Sick, just a sick scene. He was there. He's that, he, I said one person could buy me a shot and it was dusty. A green tea shot. Yeah, he was the one that called them voicemails, too. So I was very happy to see him. What else in a green tea shot? I don't know. I had two white tea shots. I had one at the very beginning to meet up, and then I said at the very end, if I hadn't had one in a while, And it was like at 830 at that point. I'm like, all right, yeah. If you guys want to buy me a YT shot, I'll do another one with you guys.

Um, yeah, like, it was, it was a lot of fun. A lot of great conversations. I actually even converted a less Randy guy into a Randy Moore guy. So I'm, I'm very happy about that. How'd that go? Just my charismatic personality. Listen, we'll see after this week. Yeah, I don't know, man.

Yeah, we'll see. I haven't signed off on that yet. He's like, you know what? Dude, after talking to you in person, I get it now. Yeah. You shout to Andrew from a dude perfect, Andrew. That dude was awesome. Dude, yeah, I mean, like, it was kind of crazy that none of the guys wanted to show their face, but Andrew showed up.

Yeah. Yeah. Talk to him a while about the Renfair. A lot of my conversations are about, like, nerdy stuff, had a long conversation about, you know, the books I'm reading. And a lot of do you know it, you know, inquiries, too. A lot of know it all. A lot of Dickie know it all. Dickie know it all.

So it will be coming back this month. People were excited about that. We do got to get you guys to the Renfair, though. It's very easy. I want to go. I'm totally in. Dan got a free ticket because he just got a media pass. So I didn't even know.

I'm going to do that next time. Does that mean you get to like bring a camera in it? Yeah, I have to do whatever I wanted. You get a free ticket. How much does that saving you? Probably like the actual ticket is about like 30, 40 bucks, I think. Plus parking and everything. Yeah.

So I probably saved like 70 bucks. I don't know if it gets you campground tickets to. I might too. If you two have a, if you two have a lot. been drafted by then and maybe I'll go to rent fare with you. Yeah, we're going to do producer-wise when we're both over in Tehran. We're going to leverage AI tools.

Okay. Are you going to let me over there with my knee? Dan and I are going to go into propaganda with our, with our site, you know, our tool set, so we're good. We're going to be wartime videographers. For BB? Okay. Okay.

Well said. But, um, man, I always feel bad because like I'll always be in a conversation. and like I'll be talking to a group and I'll inevitably have to pee and I'll be like I got to pee I'm sorry and then I'm walking to the bathroom I'm like you know I bet our listeners know by now that like I'm not making that up to get out of the conversation I mean I legitimately like had to go yeah that's the only time like I can switch conversation too so I'm sorry for everyone like I'm like I have to go to the bathroom I go and then I try to make it back to the people I was talking to if it wasn't long enough but then like you get you get caught so much like someone like stops you for a conversation so we try to talk to as many people. The music. We had live music at this place. We did. And they were sneaky.

I don't know if you ever stopped to listen. They were good. It made conversation challenging out on the patio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a little tough. It was nice to have that. They were good. They were cranking out some covers.

Asthack guy was there. You was? Gark. Brought his dog. Brought his dog Buster. Was it awkward? No, we're set up boys. I know, but I just feel like at any minute he might turn on you.

No, that's my dog. dude. Hold on all, man. It was really fun. It was an excellent meetup. That was for the second time, they have absolutely brought it. Everyone was. We really appreciate it.

Shainly nice. I had some frozen cocktails. It was great. Yeah, you came up with something. I got the boot, like, it was the lucky lepercon or something like that. It was a key lime pie frozen. And, man, that thing was sweet. It was, for me, it was like even too sweet.

I was like, this is, this was a mistake. but you know this is this is me I'm the bit we had a friend of the show uh Jake Kemp come through oh yeah oh yeah Jake just looking trim looking tall lean tall and trim plate platelet in his arm whole thing man yeah he broke his arm then we uh we went to get some good pizza afterwards greenville pizza company uh right around the corner good spot highly recommended by people and i thought it was good pizza that's like tavern style right that's what you call it yeah solid pizza. But it was really, really good.

The funniest thing, I think, we lived up to the name of the company was after pizza, Dylan's like, I'm going home. And no one even even thought about any of us going out to another bar after. Yeah, we're all going to go home. In my back in my head, I was like, man, if somebody goes, and then I was like, man, everybody's going back to the house. And we did. And that's where we just fired up YouTube.

And that was, that's where it went down. I don't know if you looked at the rundown, but I added what stock 99 to the, the last talking point here, if time. Okay. Well, that occurred earlier in the day, so we'll save that. Is that for the reunion tour? That was Woodstock, well,

that was me during the middle of the day before we did anything when it was raining out. This was just us, we went home. And when we got home. Yeah. Did we do Woodstock when we got home? Oh, yeah. That's what the most iconic moments. I watched Kid Rock and Limbiscuit twice. Yeah, you did. We watched the top ten most

iconic moments. We were watching Dave Matthews band and then Dylan finally said, all right, we need to change it to something else. And then we turn into the iconic moments of Woodstock 99. I don't, I don't, like, I'm not a Dave Matthews guy. I don't, like, strongly dislike his music, but it was not, it was not the vibe that we needed. I'm very, was on board with you with that, Dylan.

It's the same thing when it's, like, an extremely, like, rainy day here. Just maybe you want to go to back. He's playing, like, sleepy jazz out there. I'm like, we, like, I was on board with Dave. I was all sleep with Dave. I had never watched his Woodstock set, and it was, it was pretty good. And then we, we, uh, Yeah, we watched the big, big issue.

So at Verbo, you know, somebody had already logged into their YouTube. And we just were, like, searching through his stuff. And we just totally, totally F this guy's algorithm, dude. Yeah. And this guy was really into hip hop. You could see his other searches. And then we just destroyed it with, like, corn, woodstock, limb biscuit, woodstock. Then we watched

Leonard Skinner at the Oakland Coliseum because we wanted to watch somebody shreds so we watched we watched the Freebird performance start to finish and let me say dude that was some of the best time

that was electric and maybe the corn we looked up images and then we realized that well Dave pointed out that Micah producer Micah looks exactly like the lead singer

from corn yeah Dan go ahead and just look up Google images corn lead singer and then just I saw the picture. I absolutely lost it. It's a pretty funny.

This is a touching base bit towards the end. Just go to images there for... Yeah, no. I know how to pull stuff up. Yeah, yeah. The fourth one over. That's the one. That's fucking Micah.

That's bizarre. That's Micah. That's unbelievable. Dude, I fucking lost my shit when I saw this. Yeah, we were cracking up. No, that is Micah. That's like, dead on. I'm sure it's not.

It's very weird. It's very weird. He even makes that facial expression. Like, that's him. That's like his battle, you know, battle to a bad boy face. Oh my God. That was probably the most I laughed all weekend. It's weird.

Shout out to all of the Siguds and friends who don't listen to the show, but just showed up with their friends who do. Just the real MVPs have to just go, like, watch that. You're just like, you're just, like, you're just. there. You're like, okay. Shout out to the couple that drove down from Kansas City. Oh, yeah. Was he the one that had the mouse pad?

Yes. Yes. Shout out to, I met some people in from Oklahoma City. Shout out to Sarah who got engaged like a week before the event. They drove up from Austin. Yeah. And then they met on the Discord. They met on the Discord. Which is insane. That's old school. Yeah. It was surprising me how many like

people's relationships. Okay, see, Houston. A lot of people. It was a blast. It was a great time. Shout out to, we already shouted him out, but Nick, who we finally met,

who got us to hook up at Los Palmas. I mean, that was by far probably the best dinner I've ever been to, as far as, like, service. And, dude, it's funny because,

like, a lot of people, early on, the meetups, it'd be a lot of people just, like, wanting to, like, people just hit in your face

doing, like, your own bits to you? And you're like, oh, man, what do I do? How do I react to that? Nobody really does. that anymore.

I got put on the spot for my Elizabeth Holmes impression. I saw that. I was there for that. It was good. You had them eating out of the palm of your hand. It's so funny because when these meetups start, I don't see you guys until the meetups finished. Yeah.

That's how they go, man. We're all just in our own separate conversations. That was great. Thank you to everyone who showed up. Bartenders at a truck yard were very nice. Yeah. One of the bartenders, the guy with the longer hair, he's like, I ordered a drink and it was on your tab, your company card tab.

So I said the name. And he's like, he's like, y'all used to write or work for TFM or whatever. Like back in that, I was like, yeah, kind of like it's, and I kind of gave him a real quick explanation. He's like, yeah, dude, I used to read. He's like, I recognized that guy's name. I used to read y'all for a. Yeah, he knew Dorn.

Bartenders were great. When I had the, when I got the DoorDash bag with the sign D on Jersey, I was like, I don't know what to do with us. They were just like, hey, we'll take it and put it in the office, keep it safe for you. But I was going to tell you, so you know that they did the space, not the space heaters, but the heaters up top, well, there was some water getting through condensation. Some water fell onto that, heated up, fell on my shoulder and scared the shit out of me, dude. It somehow did not burn a hole through my sweater, but it burned. Oh my God.

And I was like, what just happened? I thought I got stung. At least your room wasn't leaking. It's true. Your room did leak. It stopped. At least it wasn't over the bed. the leaking was happening in my bedroom at the verbo.

Yeah. Is that why all those like napkins and stuff were on the floor by your bed? Yep. No, David, that didn't happen. But yeah, great time. Got some water burger that one morning and it was a, yeah. It was just a fun time.

Thank you for everyone that came out. Dude, really enjoyed all of them. A bucky stop on the way home. Oh, yeah. Went real hard. Hillsboro, Buckees. Shout out. So it's intimidating, but very efficient.

Our ride home was just so much more quiet than our ride up there. Oh, it was great. Had the cold front, the north wind behind us. I'd make good gas mileage on that guy on that right home on the tracking. Are you leaving now? Yep. I'm about to head out, so I'll see you guys Tuesday. I'm about to head to Hawaii right now.

I'm just going to go home. Uber to the airport, and then I'm in Hawaii for the next week. Hey, Aloha. Aloha. See you Tuesday morning. We'll do. Tuesday morning, man. See you guys there.

I got the eight milligram apple ice flavored breaker, which is a pouch with a little flavor capsule inside, and you bite down on that before you tuck it in your lip, and it provides a flavor. And it's, man, it's, actually, I couldn't, I didn't have any my desk. And I had like a bit of like, oh, shit, I have to record without it. Then I remember to have some backups in the car.

I like that Randy had to explain to Dan how to find an image on Google. He goes, yeah, Google it and then just hit images. Dude, I had no clue how to do that.

Dan's like, thank you so much for that. That's funny. Classic Randy. Man. Just mansplaining. How are you feeling Randy on the couch? It was fine. It was fine.

He was a little eager today. Yeah. Well, yeah, he was shooting. He was shooting. It's a good flight, though. I hope he has a direct flight. I've done it. There was flights from Austin to Honolulu for Hawaiian air.

What's that, like eight? It's like eight. Yeah. It's not too bad. Watch a couple of movies. Yeah. Man, I know some people, some people, you know, at the meetup are like, man, we need more sports from y'all. So that's why we're going to do this segment.

Because. Tapping into the Champions Tour. It's your boy. Zach Johnson's back. It's a Victory Monday for you. It's Victory Monday. He's one for one on the champs tour. He's going to dominate.

His first start. He just goes out there and just blows the field away. I still think of him as like a young guy. ish guy. I was shocked to hear these on Champions Tour already. It seems like he won the Masters, like, not that long ago as, like, a pretty young golfer. I know it wasn't that recent, but...

I've never thought of Zach Johnson as a young guy. Really? Even when he won, yeah, I thought he was old. I don't know. He's just such a... I don't know. He's a... He doesn't look, he doesn't look 50. He's that boy. You think he needs... He's looking pretty good. Um, well, he's about to clean up.

Like, he's about to just absolutely destroy everybody. Yeah, there we go. Thank you, Dan. Dude, he's got, this frame is so, so weak.

Look at that. I mean, dude, he's, he's just an Iowa guy, through and through. He's got Jaybone arms a little bit. He won a Masters in an Open Championship, I believe at St. Andrews. Dude, he had a run. He won a resume.

He had a serious run. He won the old course at Broken Sound Club and Boca Raton. This is at the old course in Bocke, Dylan. Right. Where he achieved this. I've only played the new course there. Yeah, people, this is a two-time major winner.

This is a Hall Famer. Easily. Yeah. Two-time major winner. Rider Cup captain. Is that great? Is that great? In the hall?

I think a green jacket and a win at St. Andrews will get you in. Yep. Was it St. Andrews for sure? Yeah, I think it's San Andrews. He robbed Jordan Spieth, remember? God, he really, oh, God. I don't remember that. Was that the beginning of the end?

We were at the office. Were we? Yeah. No, I think Spieth was going for like three for three that year. Sometimes you just get zaged. He's like three straight. I think Jordan was going for? Some things in Life Dylan are inevitable, and Zach Johnson is one of them.

Yeah, listen, he's a good golfer, man. Do you like that flat swing? That's your dog, dude. He just sawing it off. He has a very repeatable swing, which I always appreciate in a golfer. It's just, it's simple. God, dude, this is fucking, this is about to be the start of something special. Dude, that's why Tiger's not going.

He's afraid of Zach. I get it. Is Tiger eligible? How old is Tiger? It's 50? Yeah. Or he's turning 50 this year. He's eligible too, huh?

Yeah. Johnson said he expects to play a full Champions Tour schedule in 26th in addition to maybe three events on tour, PGA Tour. We're never going to see him in Augusta. First round leader? Dude. You still got it. I mean, dude, if you're in, like, if you're doing a Calcutta,

I'm just saying siphon off a little It's worse people to pick Yeah you want somebody who's going to make the cut He ain't gonna He ain't gonna make a run in Augusta What year do you think he won the Masters? Ooh, let me guess Let me guess

He won the Masters in 2010 2007 2007 Okay That's a wild year It's so long ago It's 19 years ago

That's insane He challenged another year there didn't he like he was He pops up Final pairing another time I want to say Maybe I'm wrong He was trending Yeah This is a

This will always be Any Zach Johnson news Will be Something that I'm frequently tagged in And I have to say thank you to everybody You sent it my way You're the Zieg guy I mean I got a shout out

On a no laying up yesterday Oh did I? Yeah, during their live show, I think they talked about Zijan, they mentioned to you, of course. How about that, Dave? That's awesome. Love to hear it. I mean, I know, I would love to say I'm the biggest supporter of Zieg, but I know Tron's right up there as well. Loves him.

He's just a Zij guy through and through. Dan, you want some money yesterday, not on Zich. You're not betting Champs to her yet. My bookie doesn't have that. That's too bad. Well, now it's like you can't even, no. Most books are taking it off because they know it. what's about to happen with ZJ.

Yeah, I feel like there would be an unfair advantage. You know, you can pay ZJ, Ben Crane's on the tour now. Ben Crane's like 51. Yeah. But apparently he's chasing speed. Okay. Aren't we all? No, I was texting Dan yesterday.

If there's a, granted it was Bay Hill, so I'm not going to say it's not an obscure. It's just a regular, it's a golf tournament. Dude, I love Bay Hill. Fuck all the haters. Everyone, like, shits on Bay Hill for being a bad golf course. It's a great golf course. But I'm like, who can I text? I'm like home, and I'm like, who can I text about this?

It's always fun. It always gets hard. You get to see all the pros frustrated. I love it. Scotty was being such a baby about it. What's going on there? Let's monitor Scotty right now. It's just saying.

It's bad news. What's happening? But yeah, I text Dan. I was like, oh, dude, burger's blowing it. I got money on Bot. Akshay. And look at you. Riding in here on a high.

Nice little start to the week. How about that? Lunch on Dan. Fuck yeah, dude. I'm poor. I think I'm going to start eating more seafood. Okay. I feel better about my body feels better when I, if I have a day, like when I've been doing the Lent Fridays, like I, my body feels better.

My body feels better. What's that? What's up with that? I don't know. I've never noticed that with me. Inflammation. You all seafood? Mercury poisoning?

Well, I'm not really... You know, I'm not going for like the big, like the tuna. I do tuna occasionally, but... Right now I'm pretty strictly on, like, ground beef and chicken. Although I might have to cut out ground beef with the... Where the prices are growing. We noticed the organic... We buy organic blueberries.

We noticed that they jumped $2.30 in price. Week to week. It's not good. You think that's tariffs? What do you think that's about? I think it's a combination of a few things. Teriffs being one of them, sure. Maybe a couple straits that are not accessible at this point.

These blueberries are coming from South America. But the fuel to get them, okay. I only eat Japanese blueberries. You only eat Japanese blueberries. Once you've had them. Tell me about those. Once you've had them, there's just no, there's no going. I don't even eat them over here anymore.

Huh. Yeah. Brooks. Brooks is back. Yeah, when's he gonna, is he gonna, is he done? No, he showed signs of life at the cognizant. He had a day, was it, he had a good Saturday? I think he finished top 10.

Did he? Okay, well, that's the cognizant. And he gets to play at the players. Is that a good sign when we're saying that you're tracking the right way when you had a top 10 of the cognizant? No, it's pretty sweet. No, that was actually a good, that was a good field. He doesn't, no, it wasn't. But that wasn't?

He doesn't get to, uh, get to the elevated events. He's cooked. So we get like Brooks kept get the John Deere. It's going to be sick. No, you're right. I mean, it's not like he, yeah, I'm fine with that. I really want him back in the mix, though. Yeah, he's finding something.

Hopefully he shows up the players. You found something at Clay. I did. Although, I left a couple out there. Did those guys, were they like, do you think they were, like, look at each other and they saw you grip the club like Donkey Kong? Do it a little more digestible now? Your hands touch?

My hands touch now. Okay. It's funny, I was, so Rhodes got a golf club for Christmas, and like so I taught him I was trying to show him how to grip the club and I was like you know it's not going to be perfect you don't have to like overlap but he was gripping it and all I could think about was how this is how Dan holds the club he doesn't have the he doesn't put the same move on the ball he's a smaller guy but he's also five I don't hit the ball as far anymore but I hit a fade so I'm losing distance but I'm keeping it in the fair way I'm keeping it in the fair way it was so funny like a hockey stick His hands were like, it's a slap shot. It was like three inches apart. It was great. He just savages the ball around.

It's fucking awesome. It's so sick. Dude, how about factor meals? They have some good seafood options for you, Dave. We're about to find out. I mean, I know they've got the high protein, the calorie smart, the Mediterranean diet, and the GLP1 support, ready to eat salads as well. We love factor meals.

There's a reason why we continue to talk about them. Not only do they sponsor the show, but like something they just, they give us meals and we eat them. Dude, they're so good and so easy.

Dan was the one who told us that fitness is like looking good being a fitness influence, like influencer is like 90% lighting. So let's see what, this is Nick Walker. Nick Walker, who competed at the Arnold, the 26th Arnold Classic.

And I think he won. I'm not exactly sure who won. That doesn't really matter. But this dude is the most cartoonish looking individual. I think I've maybe ever seen in my life. We're going to get dinged for this audio? No.

Okay, yeah, this guy, this guy has the abs that look fake Oh my I've never seen abs like As defined When he's just like Before he starts flexing The way they're

Like separated On his abdomen is just fucking bizarre He's feeling himself As he should I miss the Arnold This is what you're supposed to look like Dude he's got He's got the ass where you can't even

There's no fat So you just see like all the muscle fibers In his butt cheeks And it's just it's so weird It's straight up glute time It's certainly a choice He's got those kind of weird calf veins that are, I don't know what you call those.

It looked like, like, wormy kind of, you know. Dude, his capillary season. He's out there with his tiny little wiener in that banana hammock. You don't know what that thing looks like. It looks tiny. Did he win? He looks like he's got a tiny winner. I mean, they all have tiny winners.

Maybe not. Is he a tiny boy, like a short king? Yeah, he's 5'7. 5.7. You can't have that frame and be, you know, like, I mean, I think Can he walk through a doorway Or does he have to turn sideways?

I believe Sam Solick is tall So we kind of Okay, I don't know I don't know these names really But this dude, I can't There's not a ton of bodybuilders at Lifetime No, you feel good about yourself A Lifetime.

Like Lifetime, there's big guys But there's not a lot of guys who are like Clearly training to do some shit like this It just doesn't seem fun. Dan, what's this guy on? What's the gear? everything? Right?

Just everything? Yeah. I mean, steroids, obviously. What do you mean, obviously? Maybe he's on a little glutamine. Dude, you can't, you can't do that without steroids. He might be on a little bit of creatine. His thigh, his thigh.

He's really just hitting his protein goals, yeah. I can't, I can't get over this fella. It can't be fun to, to train and exist for this. Yeah, but that's your job. Dude, talk about a frame-mog situation. Imagine that guy standing next to... No. To the Fratleader?

Zach Johnson. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, okay. He would frame Mug Zach Johnson. That's an all-time Mug situation. Zach Johnson, of course, of the Champions Tour. Yeah, he would frame Mug Zach Johnson.

The champion gets to her. Okay. Okay, Jay Bone. I just don't know of a scenario where J-Bone and this guy are next to each other. Like, they're the same species, right? He frame-mogs everybody. But Jared's taller. True.

He's taller, but he's taller. I'm taller. His body, width wait can you can do just a picture i have a question about like the shoulder situation because do you have to have wide set shoulders to achieve a frame like this or does it just so how does it how does it expand if you want to actually appear bigger shoulders is what you work out just you just spam lateral what it looks it looks like his bone looks like his shoulder like his dude let's do that looks like his clavicle extends like six inches beyond what it's supposed to

dude let's just spam shoulders like dan's muscle just sticks out that far that it looks like his bones have somehow grown in that area it's just bizarre looking i don't know how you get that you got a spam la-raiser's a shoulder guy i i'm curious about the shoulder growth just oh man like look look look where does his where does his shoulder go to you know is it that thing that sticks out all the way is that just muscle out there this is traps shoulders are like right here but yeah you work traps and shoulders and that's like you get bigger people think chest so that that That back knee would also imply steroid usage, correct? Some type of usage.

Or genetics. This is... No. He looks like a cartoon. Like, it's not fun walking around like this. It's just not. Imagine hugging this guy. You can't, I mean...

You can only hug like the front part of it. No, the problem is the reason he has so much back knee is because he can't wash his own back. That's true. That's part of it, too. He needs the brush. Can he wipe his bottom, his backside? No. He just has to use...

He has a guy. Or he uses a... A bidet. A tushy. Maybe. Added value. Yeah. Yeah, he might need that.

But you still got to do some wiping action. All right. Yeah, I guess so. You don't know, this guy might be so dialed in on eating. He doesn't even poop. He can't touch his back. He's got to have the scrubber. Yeah.

Or a team. But that's another thing. He couldn't use it because he can't bend his arm. This is as far as his arm goes. There's this guy at the gym. You know how these guys. that are real big that you can't you can't put your arms down

by your side as you walk around like this there's a guy there's a guy at golds who walks around like this and he doesn't have to it's like to just put your arms by your side you're not that fucking nobody at the goals we go to deserves to walk around like that dude he does and he looks like the biggest idiot in the world I want to tell him like dude put your fucking arms down

yeah I'm gonna start walking around like that he looks like so fucking dumb dude that was like the ultimate love at high school was like walking around like that like you walk you walk into a party yeah but If your arms don't hang down by your side.

Bucking in like the kangaroo? You got to back off on the lats. Why was that a thing? Was there like a thought like in high school? Like, oh yeah. The babes, like the cheerleaders, they want the guy who looks like the fucking swole kangaroo. And your cut off, like your tank top or your cut off teeth?

This guy's arms hang out at a 45-degree angle. He's so fucking hot. Like, oh my God. It's like, what are you doing, man? Sorry, these are the things I think about. It's just a lot of work. Shout to him, though. I wouldn't want LATs that big.

No, I've never desired to be that big. Dude, that's not a, like, no one thinks that's cool. You know what I mean? Like, he's winning a competition and, okay, I get it. Like, this is his, this is, he's dedicated his life to being as jacked as he possibly can. And, like, I respect that part of it, right? But you're taking years off your life, too. Yeah, you are.

Like, his organs are just begging for, like, you know, a break. A big arch. You're pumping too many chemicals through us. Has he had a big arch? This dude, no, this dude does not have a big arch. He just eats, like, big slabs of beef and rice. Can you imagine how bad, like, so, like, after the competition, he's like, yeah, he wouldn't have a little celebration meal.

Yeah. You know how bad? He probably felt if he went and ate, like, a normal, like, fast food hammer. Oh, his body, like, what is going on? Just shuts down. Yeah. Anyway. You got to do the RFK.

You got to do all your lifting in jeans. You got to hit the leg press machine and do, like, a quarter of a rep in jeans. Where does this guy buy jeans? He's wearing a jean-co? How does he have jeans that fit him? Or get a suit. His thigh is bigger than my torso. It's a big thigh.

Everything's custom-made, I imagine. Got to. Shout out Nick Walker, man. You're doing it. You're really doing it. But did he win? I don't know. I think he won.

Okay. He should have. I mean, they're all like that. I know. You're right. I'm a Ronnie Coleman guy. Ain't nothing but a peanut. I know Ronnie Coleman because Ryan Young, who we used to work with,

used to be obsessed with Ronnie Coleman. Like, wait? He would just feed me videos at Ronnie Coleman to, like, get me, like, hyped up for work. It was so funny. It's like, all right, dude. So this is the dude, like, do you ever, you know when you're at the, I don't know, I guess, lap pull-down machine or something and you're like, and they've got, like, the extra, like, the weights you can put on top if it's not, the rack isn't enough for you?

Yeah, there's a way to, like, throw the 45 on. Yeah, it's always like, man, I wonder, you know, who's using these? I've maxed it out before So I can only imagine He's added fucking Dan you say you would You never want to look like that I feel like you've gotten

You had times where you were trying to get huge I think it's silly And Dan I think you've actually done this You may have actually fucking done this When you strap the extra weights for dips On your waist Oh yeah You have to

I used to do a lot I don't have to I max out of like I did like 11 reps Without the weight I don't need to add more than that Get stronger Yeah

bro. I mean, are you serious about revolutionizing your body? I just think those people look a little silly when they're strapping plates to their waist.

I'm strapping up, I was strapping up doing pull-ups before my forearms just gave up on me. I think that's what did it. You were bitching about our elbow forearm thing? I think I did it

doing weighted pull-ups. I never felt it. You do that for pull-ups too? I was, yeah. That's loco, man. I was doing it for pull-ups too back in the day. Y'all are on a different,

y'all are playing different game than I'm playing. I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to get like you playboy. I'm just trying to walk around like this, dog. I'm just trying to frame mug. I got framed mug by some backers and didn't feel good. Did you?

I think maybe a little bit. That one Ombray that was, he was there in the end of the night. He had a tucked in polo mustache. That dude was pretty jacked. Man, fuck that guy. I whipped his ass too. I don't remember.

You just described like ten guys. I whipped his ass in front of his girl. Really, I missed that. I was there. I didn't do that. That's a joke. That would have been more of a scene. He was actually really nice.

Why would you do that to him? He was a really nice guy. Well, that's a good segue because it's important to announce that this episode is sponsored by Better Help. Oh, yeah. Better Help. Therapy, we believe in therapy here.

So, man, how we'd not had the meetup to talk about, we probably would have led with this, but we had, from TMZ, we had Breaking Donna Kelsey News. This rocked me when I saw it.

I still can't quite grasp what I read. Her Florida pad is getting a glow up. Her modest Florida house. Yeah, and by the, when I'm reading, it is pretty modest. And she's renovating it. This is pretty crazy. TMZ has learned that she's in the middle of a home renovation, according to official records filed last night or last month excuse me it's a two bedroom two bath

1500 square foot pad in Orlando official file files recorded last night what like last month a permit like what does that mean these are official documents are they found like okay like she had a file a permit with the city maybe what does that mean and why are people looking for these records it's a good question This is... Why is TMZ spending time on a Donna Kelsey modest home renovation? Well, Dylan, the property includes a den, a library, office, and exercise room, and she purchased the home for $355,000 in March of 2019.

Good for her. I'm glad I'm here. The calcification of America has gone too far. Is it because you got Kelsey, the brother on TGL? I couldn't co-sign that harder, dude. I'm so sick of it. I like Jason Kelsey on the Eagles, huge Eagles fan. He did a lot for the city. Very grateful for what he did. I'm done with Jason Kelsey. I'll even say that he's good. He's good as an analyst, a commentator guy on these shows that he's on. He's solid.

But this country is so obsessed with the Kelsey's, and it's gone too far. Seems manufactured. And I know that one of them's dating the most famous woman in the world, and that does a lot. Her Florida pad's getting a glow up. Why are we supposed to care about it? I wouldn't care if Travis Kelsey's house was getting renovated. Jason Kelsey was like a sideline reporter for TGL the other night. Yeah, in a sleeveless fucking. That's a bad sign for TGL if they're having to pull the Kelsey card.

Is he trying to be, what's his face? Pat McAfee with the cutoffs. That bit's already taken, man. I think he's just kind of a zany, you know, his bid is like, I'm going to pound a beer. That's my thing. Is he the guy who, on a bachelor party, like, round a golf? He's the guy who has, like, cut off jeans shorts and a mullet and a fucking cutoff tank top. He's got the crazy shades.

And the crazy shades. And he's just pounding beers. Look at this fucking. He's sure to really fucking get down. He's, like, the cool guy of the group. For the Eagles Super Bowl, he wore a Mummer's outfit, Mummers Parade outfit, which is, like, the New Year's celebration of Philly. Okay. It's just, it's, I didn't think this.

I didn't think this would be news. Well, her pad's getting a glow up. Yeah. Look, she seems like a nice lady, and I have nothing against Donna Kelsey. She was a- But I don't care. She was a traitor. I don't care about her house.

She was a traitor. I don't care about her house, David. Slow news day? I just like, I don't. Well, they tweeted it, and everybody was, like, excited about it. Right, right. They're trying to distract you from the files. I'm happy for her.

Dude, the Kelsey's are a sci-op. Other than the legitimate, like, the athletic talent, it's a sci-op. I'm gonna think. I'm just, I'm done with the Kelsey's. Come on. I just need a break. Donna was like an obvious trader. I need an off-season.

Can we, like, put them away, put them on the shelf for the off-season, then bring them back out when football starts up again? No, dude. They're year-round. With Donna getting that nod to do traders, and then you got Jason doing T-G-E-G-E-E-R-E. Stop riding for the Kelsey's so hard. You're annoying me.

What are you talking about? You're riding too hard for the Kelsey's dog. Her pad's getting a glow up. Right. When's the last time your pad got to glow up? It's been a while. Well, shout out to Blaine. Is TMZ going to report on it when I do?

I don't know. I feel like you don't have that kind of clout. I don't. I'm no Donna Kelsey. What would that headline read like? like bitch boy Dylan shivery's modest pad gets glow up bitch boy podcaster from

Austin fake cowboy Dylan shivry renovating his modest South Austin home how many doors do you have in your home or windows I don't know man how many are getting replaced pretty standard we thought about doing a

So like a little glow-up.

Yeah, it's a modest home. It's a modest home, but it's going to be even better after this Renault. Her place is in Orlando, Dan. Yeah. Bay Hell's also in Orlando. It's a big Orlando weekend. Shouts to the city of Orlando. It's my real home.

Dan went to college out that way. People forget. From Delco to Orlando to Austin, Texas. the story of Dan The man from the side of the hill Where to next? Dan just posted up on the side of a hill That's what my name translates to

You didn't quite make it to the top Do you want to live on top of the hill? No, not really Why you sticking to the side, dog? Generations of mud people, I can't abandon my family You gotta stick with what you know Respect, dog

Good episode, I'll tell you that No Randy all week Oh no Oh, no. You got to go to images. That's the funniest thing. Yeah, I know how to find a photo on the internet. Oh, it's great.

Oh, Randy. All right. We'll be back tomorrow morning, and Dylan's going to email Patreon, bitch at them a little bit. Yeah, I'm pissed off about that. Well, we need to find out. Yeah, we're losing money. Yeah, we're burning money. Straight up losing money.

All right. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
