All right, we're back circling back podcast. My name is Will DeFries to my left. David Roth. Waking up and busting your butt. Made myself an omelet today. Y'all would not believe the omelet I made this morning. Stop, dude. Genuinely, I've got photos of it that I'm going to reveal at a later time, but like, I can't even explain to you how good this thing was. Now, I've had a lot of omelets in my life, a lot.

I've been an omelet guy, been on this hill forever. But this one that I made was so delightful. I did some very unique things to it, Randy, you can understand. Added some things for sustenance, maybe some chopped up potatoes. You'll have to wait till the big reveal, but. I'm looking forward to it. I cannot believe what I've done. I know it's a lot of time

You had an omelet will if you're at a hotel That has like the free breakfast in the morning I have a make your own omelet station where you can go do it like what's that? What's your ideal omelet when you're going through that stage? Oh, if they don't have the ingredients for a Dave Which is how I normally prepare my omelet. Of course. I gotta go diced up bell pepper. I like to get a variety of colors,

but green is usually the one that they offer. Facts. A lot of cheese, onions, but only if those onions are sauteed and preferably a butter, grass-fed, hopefully Kerry gold, but maybe an oil and olive oil, possibly avocado, definitely not like a seed, like a canola or something.

I don't really rock with that because it's not rocking with me. Did you know French omelets, this guy's big on French omelets over here. French omelets are hot in the streets right now. A French omelet? What are you doing? I'm talking omelets over here. French omelets are hot in the streets right now. A from what are you doing? I'm talking omelets with the boys. What's your ideal?

What are you doing? Okay, Dave's talking about omelets. He didn't even say a meat. He's talking about omelets because on set, was it Saturday? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Over the weekend, I made a 10 out of 10 omelet and I shared pics.

10 out of 10. I don't know if it's 10 out of 10. Dude, it was 10 out of 10. I don't know. You didn't out of 10. It was 10 out of 10. I don't know. You can try this thing and I sent pictures to the boys. Is it a little overdone? Including including a

gut shot. The gut shot looked really good but I I don't I think you might have kept it on for like 30 seconds too long. No. Let me find a player's just saying dude. It was so good and and that's why Dave's talking about this. Dave probably didn't make a fucking omelet No, whoa

The biggest okay, Dave, did you make an omelet this morning? Yeah I just do it so often that I feel like I didn't have to tell her the biggest mistake people make when when cooking omelets is They undercooked the pepper or the onion. So there's like a little bit of crunch when you bite into it You don't want that crunch. I don't know. I think it's all based on personal opinion. It's not it's not Well, here's the thing about that, what you just referred to specifically. So you have the egg, correct, which that's not going to have a crunch. But then when you introduce something that might have a little bit of a crunch, when those two tastes into your mouth

and you put your teeth down on them to chew it and then swallow it so your body can digest it. We know how eating works. For me, Randy, Will, what is it? It's the juxtaposition of the two. Here's how I made my omelet. It was 10 out of 10. I sauteed white onion with orange bell pepper thoroughly, no crunch. I do bacon in there, cooked it up perfectly and I put it in the egg. I do some sharp cheddar, some shredded sharp cheddar in there and then I enveloped it and then I sprinkled a little bit of cheddar on top and it was so fucking good. That's awesome. All right I'm gonna make an omelet. It was really big, I cut it in half. Next few days and I'll send it good. That's awesome. All right, I'm going to make an omelet. It was really big. I cut it in half.

Next few days. And I'll send it y'all's way. I want pictures. Dave, do you have pictures of your omelet? Yeah, actually he did. Because I don't. Yeah. Because I don't believe that you actually made one.

How about that? I'm calling bullshit on you. Randy, do you have a photo of Dave's omelet that you want to put up on the screen right now? YouTube.com slash circling back. You want to see Dave's omelet. He's taking me then. Wow, Dave, you snapped on this omelet, K. That's not, Dave didn't make that omelet. YouTube.com slash circling back. You want to see Dave's omelet. He's taking me then. Yeah. Wow, Dave, you snapped on this omelet, kid.

That's not, Dave didn't make that omelet. Dave made that omelet, dude. You have fancy silverware, Dave. Yeah, dude, you're the vintage stuff. That was pretty impressive. We went to an estate and said. Dave, that thing's busted. I'll send Randy an actual gut shot of mine.

There's some stuff in there you can't see. You gotta, you just have to try it. That's known commonly as the Dave, as I've learned in many recent weeks. I just sent Randy a picture of the gut shot of my omelet. What kind of meat did you put in yours, Dylan? Why are you playing catch up right now? Okay.

Bacon. I'm not a big bacon guy in my ideal omelet. Randy, this is a real omelet that I actually made as opposed to what Dave's trying to sell you right now. When it comes to incorporating meats into breakfast foods, I'm not talking standalone bacon, I'm not talking standalone sausage patties, sausage links, but when it comes to meat getting incorporated

with breakfast foods, I think ham is like the most superior breakfast food meat to put in eggs and to put in other things. I started, I got the ham out, I was gonna chop it up and throw it in the skillet and Chelsea said, I actually already thawed the bacon. We freeze bacon. She says, I already thawed it, so why don't you do the bacon?

I said, okay, I'll do the bacon instead. I'm less experienced. Randy, we're waiting for you, bud. Yeah, okay, okay. This is the omelet that Dylan just sent me. He probably just Googled some bullshit omelet. Put the real one up, right? And he put the real one up. That's cute, buddy. That's omelet. Put the real one up. And he put the real one up.

That's a good omelet, Dillon. That's not it. Randy, put it up. You know, you tried. That ain't it. Dillon, I actually, I've got it on pretty good authority. You're a bacon bits guy. There we go.

There's the real omelet. That's the omelet that I made. Zoom it on. I need to see, zoom it on the guts, please. Look at that. Okay. That does look pretty good. Here's the thing, I actually,

I really respect your sauteed onion move here. Thank you. I enjoy onion enough, because I'm a real onion head, that I don't really mind having the crunch of like a raw onion that only gets lightly cooked while in the omelet. Doesn't bother me.

I like to saute thoroughly. Half banana back there. What if you took a mandolin and you started just doing some really thinly sliced red onion, you know? Just put it out there. I just don't do red onion. And that's just a personal thing. You know, there's there's no red number three in it. Yeah. That's a good looking omelet. It was massive. I cut it in half because I ate half of it

and it was how many eggs? Seven eggs. Seven eggs. Seven eggs. I'm telling you, this was a massive omelet. This is half of it. All you need is three. The other half was was on Chelsea's plate. Oh. You can't even make

a second omelet with twelve eggs. I made one big omelet. Did you get a baker's dozen? Did you get a baker's dozen? Do you Lady a baker's dozen? Did you lady in the trumpet? I just ate it with a fork. Missed opportunity. Yeah. Kind of missed. Man, it was so good. Can I issue an apology to you guys

that have been sitting in the studio with me for the past couple of days? Sure. I've had a lot of beard dandruff lately. Okay. And I'm taking steps to remedy this. You had dry skin, Playboy? I think so.

I think all this heat that we're having on lately is really drying out the old skin. So this morning I took it upon myself to get in the shower. I took my shower head and I just absolutely doused my beard in water and I did a deep cleanse with some tea tree stuff and I'm hoping that it's going to clear everything up and I won't have as much dandruff on my chest moving forward. My mom is such a big tea tree oil person. She thinks it's like the cure-all. Tea tree people are tea tree people. Yeah, she loves it.

It just happened to be in my stuff. I didn't seek it out. Yeah. Have you ever done the tea tree like shampoo on your scalp? No. Oh, daddy. It's a good feeling. Oh, yeah. It cools your scalp down.'t seek it out. Yeah, have you ever done the tea tree like shampoo on your scalp? No. Oh daddy Oh, yeah, it cools your scalp down that it does. Oh, it's it's go to do you're smelling all minty for a while That's fine. All right. The first time I did was a sports clips and the lady said it's gonna be a tingly sensation And it was sick dude. What I do when I clean my beard is that I take the shower head It's like the you know like the hand washer thing.

Yeah. And I literally just put it right here. It exfoliates. It's really just blasting those pores. What's the sound that it might make? If you had a microphone that was tiny. People have asked me, like, well, I'm getting mad dandruff in my beard. How do I remedy this?

I'm doing these new showers. They're called snow showers. So my shower, it's pretty unique, pretty special shower in that it creates snow. It'll accumulate on your head and stuff. It's kind of like a cold plunge without submerging yourself into water. It's really cold. Stop pretending to know ball, dude. Were you in Medellin recently? Yeah. There it is. I was looking for Raptor. Our friend Tony from yesterday's cold call episode thanked me yesterday via DM for calling him. I said, thank you, brother.

How's he doing? Man, I don't know. He's seemingly good, but also not good at the same time. He had the, he was delirious, I'm pretty sure. No, he just had the brainless fuck arounds that you have. He did have the fuck arounds. I'll message our man Tony from yesterday's cold call and see how he's doing.

His brain was still in Medellin. 22 person bachelor party in Columbia. It's- No telling what they got into. The craziest part of that is they got 22 guys to agree to go there. Right. It's a lot.

What a trip. Yeah, like did anyone not go? I mean, 22 would be hard to get people to go to like Scottsdale. No offense. I mean, I didn't want, if I had a bachelor party, which I didn't, I didn't want any more than like 12. I didn't want it to be overbearing.

Yeah. Which we're still gonna plan yours, right? I guess. Yeah. 12 is a good number. Kind of feels like it's slipping through the cracks. No, we're gonna make it happen, dog. I guess. Yeah. 12 is a good number. Kind of feels like it's slipping through the cracks. No, we're gonna make it happen, dog. I don't know if I'm built for it anymore, man.

I had that one Marg and one knockout martini at Matt's the other night. Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos. I was done for the day the next day. I don't know if I can handle a full on bachelor party unless we're, maybe a ski one. Everyone's too tired to like get hammered at night.

That'd be sick. Yeah. Kind of over skiing right now. I think I'm taking 2025 off. I just like the mountains, dog. Yeah, I do, too. I've discovered that I like being in a mountain town more than I like actually skiing instead of mountain towns. You know, I'll co-sign that.

I just want to go to the Blue Stag. Yeah. How many times did you ski in 2024? It's just once. Oh, I don't know. All I care about is my mountains being blue. Yeah. Talking about beer. Of course, lot. Love me, Coors lot. I'll make you guys almost one day.

No, I'm kind of thirsty guys almonds one day. I'm kind of thirsty right now. Can you go to the fridge and get me a Huel? Oh yeah. Yeah. Go get it. Go get, go, go Huel a player up, please. I'll be right back.

Dylan, you've been caught in 4K before. Doing what? Oh yeah. Shmanging. Heartache on the dance floor. Shmanging. I don't think that's accurate. We're talking about the load in 4K thing on Twitter.

So is everyone getting this? Yes. I didn't know everyone was getting it until I saw it in the rundown and realized that one of you is getting it. And like, every single time I go to the top of my feed, it's just load this in 4K. And it's always a picture of like Sabrina Carpenter or Dua Lipa. Or I saw a Sweens the other day.

I haven't gotten any Sweens. I did load that one in 4K to be honest, but guess what? I don't see a fucking difference. So that's cause you're not high res coded, dude. So every real poster should have a group text that they're in that is people from high school or college that just aren't online. And I've got that one.

And I got this text yesterday. Can anyone explain this tap load and 4K thing? Todd answers, no, no clue what you're asking. Tyler responds, no idea, Brett, but I tried to click on a few pics of chicks booties on X. Okay, dude. These guys are not online. I just outed them.

Yeah, do it online. Yeah, I will. The other, I think yesterday as we were doing cold call, I glanced at your screen and I saw the Dua Lipa 4K one that has popped up on my for you like four different times. It's the same picture. Did you zoom? Don't ask me about my business.

I mean, Randy, would it surprise you if you found out right now that I would consider myself to be a photo snob when it comes to the size and resolution of photographs digitally portrayed to you? No, that would not surprise me. Like when I go to Google image search, I go to, I search what I want on Google image search and then I sort it and only do high res images because that's all I wanna frequent with.

I didn't know that you could do that. You can do that. Yeah, you can do that. And like, if it's under a thousand by a thousand, like I don't want it. That ain't for Will. Get it out of here. But like we don't need to be loading photos in 4K

like at this rate. I feel like it's just an engagement hack that they figured out and they just need to get rid of it because it's so stupid. It's one of those trends that the brands catch onto. So they're all doing it too. I did it from circling back, hand up.

But you did the Brett. Yeah, I did pixelated Brett. You can't even load it in 4K. Can't even load it in regular 1K. I don't know what that means. What are you looking at, Dave? I'm trying to see if there's... Yeah, there it is. Here's a load this Zendaya in 4k. Load it, dude. Load that ish. Here, I bet if I go to the top of my feet right now. Nope. Okay. Dude, is Zendaya engaged?

We're making progress. Are people asking that? I think she is, right? I think she had a ring on in a photo. I mean, she and Tom Holland have been dating for like a long time. Makes sense. Isn't it Zendaya? Oh, it's Zendaya? No one really knows, ma'am.

I think it's like how you say Rihanna, not Rihanna. Rihanna. Kamala. I just called her bad girl, RiRi. You guys communicate a lot? Yeah. Rihanna. Kamala. I just called her bad girl, RiRi. You guys communicate a lot? Yeah. Rihanna would end you. Yeah, I'm on record saying I could not satisfy Rihanna.

She's so much more alpha than you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fair. She's still with Rocky. Rocky Balboa? No, they've never dated.

Have you gotten like- That was really white. That was just extremely white ASAP Rocky, right ASAP a money sign AP Rocky, that's the one what's his he's got a nickname. It's like the handsome motherfucker pretty flaco Is that one of them you're confusing it with my pretty swag. No, I swear his nickname is like handsome motherfucker. Yeah, I think he calls himself that, but I think it's like- Pretty flaco. Yeah, he does go by pretty flaco.

F-L-A-C-C-O. Oh yeah, he's a pretty dude. He's legit handsome. He's elite. I kind of wait, okay, I don't have that much experience in his music, but I kind of wish that the music that I have heard from him was better,

because I think I like the vibe of him a lot. I loved his vibe of being about, I don't know, 38 minutes late to his ACL set. It was his birthday, Dave. I just, I feel like you don't get a pass. He was drunk and he played the same song like four times in a row because he just wanted to. Not ideal. That was a concert I walked away from being like, man, that was actually really good.

I'm going to be listening to his shit forever. And I wasn't. I haven't been. I don't dislike him. I just never really got into it. You fuck with the ASAP mob? Ferg. Dude, don't fuck with Ferg. Always strive and prosper. I didn't know that's what it meant. Shout out to Ricky. Yeah, Ricky Prosper. I'm going to call him out real quick. Tried to leave a vo, Ricky Prosper. I'm gonna call him out real quick. Tried to leave a voicemail. Bailed on it

halfway through so I'm gonna call back. Never called back. What the hell, Ricky? He goes, ah, that's like I'll call again. Yeah, never did. Alright, Ricky. I shouldn't do him like that. Ricky's great. Nothing but great. Do you guys mind if I take some high res photos of you today so we can load them in 4k on the timeline? And I don't know if I want to be in 4k on the tl. No, dude. Have you ever like do you do you guys have 4k tv? I think so. I don't talk about my finances publicly. It's not i'm not talking about finances

I'm just wondering how how high the definition goes on your television. I think it does 4k. It's indefinable I don't know if I use 4k on it But it's capable. You have to pay extra on netflix know 4k which is bullshit. I'm not doing that. Um, although miss Rachel's going to Netflix so for the kids Don't get caught in 4k watching miss Rachel. That would just be disturbing. Um YouTube TV I think because we got some like sports package, I split YouTube TV with my squad members and it offers us 4k and like some people just don't need to be on television in 4k.

Like HD is enough for a lot of people. Like who? It's not so difficult. Is the difference pretty noticeable? There are just some soccer announcers who it's like, oh yeah, they look way older on this feed than they did on just normal HD feed which is what I'm afraid of too yeah me too I have crows feet when I smile oh it happens man that's the thing killing me lately not yours mine you can do about it man I know it's just these

little guys smile hey I heard a an update to the story about the the Falconer from yesterday from last Monday. Yeah So the team Falconer got fired for posting photos of his all he did was post like after photos of his surgery Yeah, what surgery was it again? He had like a penile implant, right? He'd previously been suspended for chanting in support of Mussolini Okay, okay noted fascist fascist yeah and fascist, okay, that's interesting chanting in support of Mussolini. Okay. Okay. Noted fascist. Fascist.

Yeah. And fascist. Okay, that's interesting. So this is a two-time offender. Yeah, I mean... Okay. But like don't... I mean... No.

Go ahead. No. I don't, you mean, Yeah. Go ahead. No, I don't think what I was going to say is what I wanted to say. I think I had a thought that I was going to throw out there

and it's just not the correct one. Little moose over there's a little quiet. Yeah. Do you support Mussolini? I don't support Mussolini. No, I do not. Specifically, why? Just so you're on record. Look right into that camera. The the fascism mostly

you know, not down with that. You didn't like his style? He didn't like his fits. Uh I'm unfamiliar with his drip. It's a fashion joke. Yeah, you Italians get off too easy. Don't I know it. Looking at Mussolini's fits right now, and I have to say It's just there's a lot he kind of bricked the one the fit pic with Hitler Hitler kind of mogged on him

Should move so I mean I The jawline on this Mussolini guy Not a tall feller not a tall feller,, but like he's built like a fire hydrant. He looks, his head is shaped like Joe Rogan. That's a really good call. Instead of shaped like Joe Rogan or Joe Rogan's head, because that would be weird. Joe Rogan's head.

That'd be a weird ass head. Yeah, you don't want to have your entire head shaped like Joe Rogan. Nah. I might be scaling back. I actually think that Mussolini mogged on Hitler in this case. He's got the knife coming down.

He's got more metals. No, I'm not glazing. I'm just saying that in a side by side, Mussolini out dripped Hitler. Was it like fashion designers, like the Gucci do that stuff? Was that after Mussolini's time? Like Volkswagen was big in the Nazi party.

Was there any Italian fashion? Sure there were. There's one of the, hold on, fashion brands. Let's make sure. Link to Nazis. Dave, you go boss was Hitler, manufactured SS uniforms. Interesting. Really? Mm-hmm. Man yeah that's tough you know

I know that I grok'd it no I didn't grok it I go y'all aren't real grokker's you're a grokker I'm so out on grok wills not grok grok socks like it's it's not a good AI product I don't know many AI products but as far as the ones that I've used, Grok is definitely the shittiest. Good. Randy, are you sad that TikTok is going away? Yeah. Yeah, I am. I'm sad. Where does it rank in terms of screen time on your phone? I would imagine that Instagram reels and TikTok are my number one too, and it probably flip flops on the day. I'll close TikTok, open up Reels,

close Reels, open up TikTok. Do you scroll Reels in the same way that you scroll TikTok? Yeah. I don't do the endless scroll thing with videos on Instagram. It's too slippery of a slope and I know that I'll get obsessed. It has led to some late nights for your boy.

Yeah. You just get sucked in. I refuse. Like that's why I use TikTok. If I use TikTok it's because I actively am trying to go somewhere, watch as many videos as possible, and just zone out. I'll typically snap back in and feel real bad about myself for a few minutes. I'm like this is the brain rot. I'll be in bed at like 1 30 a.m. like all right, this is your last one. Oh and then next one starts playing like oh that's kind of a dope one.

And then I'm like 20 more in, it's fucking stupid. No, the worst is when you're like, okay, it's 1250. I just need to be eyes shut by 1 a.m. And then you look at your phone and it's like 120. Yeah, fuck! Yeah, that happens. You ever get one that's, you see that you're ground floor on, like it's only got like four likes.

You're like, oh, this actually isn't that bad. I could be like the one who kind of blows this one up. And then I'm like, no, I'm not going to do anything with this. Yeah. I've never shared just a random reel with anybody. How much have y'all followed the Red Note stuff? I don't know what that is. Randy, very, very closely. Can you explain Red Note? It's another Chinese app. Yeah. It's another Chinese app that's similar to TikTok, but it's very much like Chinese owned, where like ByteDance is a Chinese company and like it's a Chinese guy that lives in Singapore. Either way, it's always like, whatever.

Like Red Note is 100% a Chinese app developed in China. And like a lot of these TikTok creators are like, all right, if the whole reason we're getting is like, we're gonna go from TikTok, we're not gonna do Instagram or YouTube. We're gonna go to Red Note just as a giant middle finger to the government. We're going to actively say, yeah, China have my have our data. So what is Red Note? It's just an app. It's just like a it's a it's like a video. Yeah, it's like a TikTok video app. But now all these people are

signing up for Red Note. They're interacting with all these Chinese people and like becoming friends with these Chinese people, or at least having friendly rapport with them. And it's almost like a culture shock for a bunch of these people that are signing up for Red Note because I saw some guys yesterday, I don't know if this was Burner-verse or not, but I saw some guys yesterday that were talking shit

about Michigan versus Ohio State with a bunch of Chinese dudes. And the Chinese dudes were like hardcore Michigan fans. I saw this. And it's just like, it's just great. We're just connecting people or it's all like AI driven. Yeah. I still like the idea that they're really into college football.

Yeah. So it's very interesting. We'll see how that all goes. It hit number one in the US app store. You downloaded it? I haven't. No, I don't know. Randy. I won't. I haven't, no, I don't know if I will. Randy.

I won't. I don't know. We'll see if it gets more traction. The thing I liked about TikTok compared to Instagram Reels, where Instagram Reels is like very comedy and like meme-y or I'm getting served because the comments are ridiculous, where like TikTok was more personable and like a lot more content creators and stuff.

And so that was a nice thing about TikTok and it kind of sucks that it's going away. Why do these creators not want to just immediately go to Reels where they probably could transfer the audience over pretty easily? They are and they're doing YouTube, they do long form. But like, I think a lot of these people have uploaded their stuff to Reels

and just have not seen the, like the community or like the success in Reels as they did with TikTok. Maybe they don't like the Zuck rebrand. Maybe they think he's been too TRT-pilled. Do you think, Randy, that TikTok gassed their numbers at all? Oh yeah. Because I feel like it didn't make sense.

I feel like so many TikToks go viral pretty easily. I had the theory, and I don't know if this was something I talked to Sally about or you guys, but that they would intentionally make so many TikToks go viral pretty easily. I had the theory, and I don't know if this was something I talked to Sally about or you guys, but that they would intentionally make one of your first TikToks go viral so that you'd get hooked to it. I get it.

Because so many people will post three, and then one of them will do 100,000 views. And I'm like, no, that's a great way to get someone hooked. They see what it feels like to get all this interaction. So this is gonna kill some creators, huh? Oh yeah. Like extremely. Supposed to get banned on Sunday.

I think, I think Tik Tok is shutting it down on Sunday because of like server stuff. They've talked about. I think Monday, but yeah. There's been some people trying to buy it. Mr. Wonderful said he wanted to buy it. Mr. Beast as well. Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast would probably be a better buyer than Mr. Wonderful.

Mr. Something is well. Mr. Beast? Mr. Beast would probably be a better buyer than Mr. Wonderful. Mr. Something is gonna buy it. How do you guys feel about at the inauguration on Monday that Zuckerberg, Bezos, and the billionaires. Bezos came, Zuckerberg came. That they'll be sitting on stage next to the appointees from Trump. Does that kind of make you feel like we got some state runrun media going on?

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. I don't know. We've been at it. My opinion, facts. I mean, I think that's a lot of reason, like a lot of the creators are mad at TikTok. It's going away. It's not because it's like China.

A lot of people feel like it's freedom of speech that like America's state can't people feel like it's freedom of speech that like America's state can't like quell it and stuff. Like I've learned so much stuff on TikTok that I did not know about because just random shit. I saw one, uh, one tweet in opposition of that, Randy, that said that we can't say that the app that popularized the term on alive is great for freedom of speech. True, but I was seeing like first person, like citizens of Ukraine when the stuff was going on. Like I wasn't going to see that Instagram. Like it's wild.

Yeah, just go to Twitter. Yeah, but Go to that for you, Hoss. I see some nice hand to hand combat. I use TikTok so little that I don't think it's going to affect me really at all. The only time I ever use TikTok is when someone like sends a TikTok in the group chat, like the meme team one.

And I'm like, okay. Sally has refused to download TikTok forever. And anytime someone sends her a TikTok, she just says, I don't have TikTok, so I can't watch it. And her life is about to be made a lot better. She's been avoiding it. She knows that she'll just be on it all the time. It's not gonna affect me much at all, actually.

What does Kesha think about this? Famous song, TikTok, spelled the same way. Same capitalization everything? Yeah. What are we gonna do? What's the asking price to buy it? They gotta sell it to an American company, right? I haven't been that much into that.

I don't know if they're trying to sell it. I think it's, I don't know if they want to sell it. I think they might want to keep it. And it's just like, you know, who knows? So it kind of sucks it's going. There's a lot of fun stuff. The whole night's first gnomes thing was on there. And there's just, there's a lot more community

on TikTok than there is Instagram. Yeah. I'm messaging my sources. I understand the TikTok link thing. Anytime it gets sent to meme team, I'm like, man. I don't like that it tells the person who sent it that you watched it. I don't know if they still do that.

Oh, I didn't know that. It used to do that. And it was like, man, I got to respond to this person and tell them, ha ha, that was great. Yeah. I'm kind of going back to not responding And it was like, man, I gotta respond to this person and tell them, ha ha, that was great. Ha. Yeah. I'm kind of going back to not responding to people's memes that they send me.

Damn. I think the ultimate respect there is sending them a meme, like in the same sesh that you're just scrolling, you know? Team meme back. Thanks for that meme, here's one back. Yeah, I got you, player. Oh, I'm interested to see how the music industry goes to this, cause a lot of like new pop songs

were coming out as TikTok like viral trend, like that's how they became big in the past couple of years. Meta has gotten really stingy with their rights for music. And so like, I think it's not necessarily just Meta, but I think they're making it much more difficult to do that kind of thing, whereas TikTok was not. And so, yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I do think it's a net, like, I mean,

Chinese infiltration, whatever aside, I liked that TikTok existed. It was the dumbest of platforms, which is saying a lot. How is land law doing on TikTok? I don't know. Yeah, that's right. I mean, we do get land law and what all those people on Instagram real. So that's what I'm saying. The reason why those are in my feed is because of the comments, not because of it's actually good content. Yeah. Yeah. The other day, me and the boys were at the bar and like the TV was NBC on the TV and we were just yelling at the TV, cussing at it.

And the PC police came in and tried to handcuff us. They tried to handcuff you? I am so sick and tired of the PC police trying to handcuff me. I was like, don't handcuff me. Hey, I'm a little rough and ragged, but that's fine with me. My front edge is. Yeah, we're different. Prize picks. Prize picks.

Like it was, it just was such a comfort every single time. Full Chubb. I love playing as Nick Chubb. Who put the space bar in here? Well, here's the thing, Dylan. The other night, Monday night, on the heels of a great Circling Back episode on Monday,

my son and I were hanging out alone. It was about 8 p.m. I knew it was about to be bedtime. And I thought to myself, wait, it's dark out. Wait, Dylan said there was going to be a bomb ass comet out. Took my son outside, told him there's going to be a comet. We got outside, he couldn't see anything, so he said he needed his binoculars. So I spent the next 20 minutes trying to find his binoculars and every little nook and cranny of our house. Got outside, he was looking at the sky

with his binoculars. I didn't see any comet, man. Wow, I too went outside, and I too did not see a comet. Like, big space? Do you see, no, do you see the picture from the ISS? I think you guys were pretty sick. I don't follow ISIS on anything. International Space Station, there's a photograph from the space station of the comet,

and it was pretty dope. There's a space station on the comet? Oh my God. See what I deal with with these people? You didn't even put it on the rundown. Who did put it on the rundown? Because I didn't see it. Who did put this on the rundown?

You did. I didn't put it on the rundown. Don't look at me. It wasn't me. Wasn't me. I swear to God it wasn't me. It was dead. No, because I went out and looked

and guess what I saw? Nothing. Out in the southbound sky. Nothing. Did you see it? Did you see it? A street light, because it's like right there in my viewing path.

I didn't see shit. I didn't either. Are you sure the comet just wasn't crazy bright that night? That's a great point. I also, I got on Twitter and I did like a comment atlas search to see if like people saw it and snapped pictures of it. Only one I saw, the only picture I saw was the one

I'd sent y'all from the ISS. Soft. Can I ask a dumb question about comets and other things hurling through space? Sure. Yeah. Like space is so big that like shit gotta be blowing up and colliding like all the time, right? No.

Why? Because it's so big. Because there's a lot of space. But there's so much shit in space. But sometimes things do collide. Like that one that took out the dinosaurs, for example, hit Earth. If something hit Earth,

how much notice would we actually have? A lot. Like how much? Well, we knew this one was first spotted, like, I don't know, 20 years ago or something. Oh, okay. We can see in the future with the James Webb telescope. Oh yeah, I forgot you can see in the future.

You can see in the past. And the past as well. Not the future. Well, the future is the past in a lot of respects. Yeah, we would have- What if they were just like, hey, like this giant mass is coming towards Earth, we obviously don't have the power to move it, so.

There is. We have three years. Remember to look up. What do you do if you have three years to burn it. So there is we have three years. Look up What do you like? What do you do if you have three years to burn? There's an asteroid I didn't think I didn't watch that that is in I think it's 20 ish years from now on on Valentine's Day there's one that is passing close to earth and there's like a one and like 1600 chance that it hits earth but in like 1600 chance that it hits earth, but 20 years from now. So that's how far out we know that like,

this might be a danger at some point. When it gets closer, we'll know if it, how likely it is to actually hit earth, but I think we're safe. And I don't think it's big enough to cause like catastrophic damage, but it would definitely fuck some shit up. Damn, there's gonna be single dudes 20 years from now

texting a girl being like, what if we collided tonight? But like the Armageddon shit, like the movie, would we be able to alter the trajectory of something? Fuck no. How do you know? I think we could. I don't know, lasers? What are you gonna do?

Missile. Why don't we just? Can you do space missiles? Can you have guided missiles in space? I don't know. I don't know. You can't send Ben Affleck up there either. I feel like we should be more worried about this

than going to fucking Mars. Send an oil and gas crew up there. There's something called, I don't know if you ever heard of it, the Space Force? It's what they're fucking supposed to be doing up there. No, they're not. They're not doing shit. I feel like if we looked on the Space Force LinkedIn,

they'd be like three employees. I feel like Space Force is legit. I still don't know what they do. Yeah, but are they fighting? Like, what are they doing? You do this, that's the thing, you just don't know. I don't think they're fighting wars in space. I think they're just like,

I think they're just getting a second pair of eyes on NASA. I could be told in real. I could still join. Dylan, I don't know about you between the ages of 17 and 42 Might be a quick contract for Dylan. That's alright get that on the resi Update that linked in thank you for your service. You were in Space Force. I have some real information here Asteroid 2023 DW I think 2023 is when his first discovered. Oh, bro, it's headed toward Earth and may arrive on Valentine's Day

2046 Now that better chance of hitting a date of 14 February than our plan. Wait, what was it? Hold on a newly detected asteroid has a very small chance of impacting the earth in 2046, but is not a 0% chance Basically, don't panic it but we could do some action. What's there to panic about? Everyone would die. I don't think this one is big enough to take out Earth.

I think it would, like I said, it would fuck some shit up. Like if it hit in the middle of the ocean, that would create some tides. Yes. It would rework that coastline, Hoss. Yes. Oh, I'm sorry, it would land in the ocean. It is 50 meters wide.

That's not that big. That's not that big. One in, okay, a one in 607 chance. So that's not like tiny. That's not nothing. Those are different odds. One in 607. Why is that line moving, Hoss? What do they know?

I don't know. That's what I saw. I don't think, I think it was higher than that. That comment just broke up with its girlfriend. I think the closer it gets, the more we'll know about the chances of it hitting. What's the ideal place for it to hit? Like London.

Okay. Nice France. Why? Probably like Antarctica. I don't know. What about like, what about like Norman, Oklahoma? Oh.

Just kidding. Yeah, so keep trying. Yeah, actually I think Antarctica would be a good one. 2046. It might accelerate the warming down there. I don't think we want it to hit water. I don't think so either. I feel like that's gonna be that.

Yeah, that's gonna be that. So the one that took out the dinosaurs hit, and I believe North America. Yucatan, huh? Yeah, somewhere around there. The Penninsula. And it was fairly big and it just created like a dust cover across most of the globe. And so like sunlight wasn't getting through and all that kinds of shit, you know.

Dust on the water. That's what that song's about. Dust in the wind. Valentine's day 2046. Put it on your calendar. My wife's going to still want a reservation. That's good. That's good. You're not even married yet, but you probably will be in 2046. We'll see. Hey man, don't do it. All right, just kidding Dave.

Aw. What if it just smoked Dylan? What? What? What? Like Dylan's walking on the trail early one morning, this fucking 50 meter comet just fucking smokes it. Pretty big man.

Okay, wait is it 50 meters now? I don't think it, yeah. Once it busts on through that atmosphere, it's gonna burn up a little bit, right there. Does it collect anything as it goes through space? Yeah. Is it like a snowball effect? Memories.

It collects memories. It has a dream catcher. I'm a little concerned about this, y'all. I like the- It's going pretty fast. I like that it spices things up. No, we got a one in 607 chance of getting hit. Why don't we just-

Yeah, it's kind of fun. Yeah. Why don't we just take some fighter jets up there and just fly in the other way. Oh yeah. Why don't we just move earth? I'm more concerned with the brilliant- Can we just launch like a Elon space rocket thing

as it gets closer and just have a big collision in the sky. Intercepted. That's what I'm wondering. I mean, that's of course technology will advance a lot more by that point too. You think we'd have enough in the hopper. I think we'd be able to alter its trajectory. I kinda wanna confront this problem like directly.

Yeah. Like I kinda want us to need to figure this out as a human race. As someone who took physics senior year of high school. Me too. Wouldn't all we need to, wouldn't we just have to like essentially just tap it? Right. For and it would just send it so far off course.

That's what I'm saying. You don't need to. You don't need like a new. You just need to like slightly alter its projection. Yeah, you don't need a nuke. Right. Like maybe just like a black cat, you know. Get it to start. So how do you like it? Swerve bend the corner. What does that mean? Like maybe just like a black cat, you know? Get it to square square. Do you like where I've been the corner?

What does that mean? I don't know. I had to go to Reddit to remember what it actually says. You pop off the firework in Space House. No oxygen. Yeah, I don't know the answers to a lot of these questions.

But that was not as it is fun to think about and speculate on. And who knows, man, might see it. It might be a pretty thrilling 2046. What if we sacrifice the moon, shove that thing over in this direction? I don't think that's necessary. They'll have some problems. Yeah, we just need something to intercept it. Maybe we should send Sam Donald up there.

Yeah, dude. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be kind of sick if Elon called like his rocket, like the Rivas one. You think he's aware of that in any capacity? He has no idea who Derell Rivas is. I don't know. No idea. I don't know.

It's fairly dated too. He's out in the league. He was. I don't know. No idea. I don't know. It's fairly dated too. He's out in the league. He was. He was locked down. Yeah. It's the last quarter I could think of. Just took down half the field. He got paid by the Jets.

He took down half the field, man. Let's break down his contract. Dude, he was sick. Yeah, he was. Who's the white dude on Philly, the corner? Cooper DeGene. We got some DeGene up here. He's the best corner in the league.

Who's this character corner in the league. Who's this character? It's me. Revis Island is the coolest fucking nickname. Yeah. They wouldn't even like just the name Revis Island. I feel like rattled quarterbacks where they're like, no, I'm not going to throw it to Revis Island. I'm not catching shit today. I'm on a Revis Island. I'd rather throw it to Epstein Island. I don't know. I'm forcing it. Who is this? I miss when Chad. That's Bernie. When Chad Johnson would uh or

now Chad El Chasenco. When he would keep a list at his locker of how he would treat cornerbacks. I also thought that was great. We need a guy doing that these days. Receivers and DBs. That's the most fun. Like they're those are the biggest personalities. I asked Sally the other day if she was playing if she was playing football, what she'd play? She said defensive back. Cornerback is my favorite. She personalities. I asked Sally the other day if she was playing football what she'd play. She said defensive back. Cornerback is my favorite. She eventually pivoted to free safety,

which I was like, okay. She wants to roam around and just make shit happen. I told her I want to be a cornerback. I want to shut someone down. Yeah, that's the coolest position. I love it. Like getting a, like having, I don't know, getting a touchdown reception would be sick, but picking someone off and running it back for six would trump 20 touchdowns. That's what's up, dude. Revis Island. Hey, just quickly, we had some controversy

on the timeline yesterday. Turns out Dylan's Apple Watch is fucking stupid. No. Or it knows everything. Yeah. Ooh, Randy's team, Hard G. Hard G. Love that. And he's a fellow nerd.

What if you created something, Randy, where you, I don't know, you named it and then some dorks out there started telling you that's not what it's called. It's not up to him is what I say. Randy calls JPEGs. Why is that though? Because the word gift exists. Well, so does giraffe is the counterpoint that some people will make. Oh, thank you, Dylan. I didn't have an argument for that. I pulled up a Time magazine, by the way.

They published me once. Okay. So all credibility is out the window. And they have a timeline of the pronunciation of GIF which is an acronym of course for graphics interchange format. And what's the timeline say? Starting in June here's how it started June 1987 that's how far back these things go. It doesn't get dorkier than what Dylan's doing right now. Steve Wilhite is the creator of the GIF. Is he German? GIF.

Where's he from? Is he from Germany? He created it while working for Compuserve. Shout out Compuserve. Can I say whatever he's saying? You remember Compuserve? No. What did they do? I don't think they deserve a shout out. What did they do? It was a drive-through. You would go through and if you needed a computer, it was like you'd pay money, you'd order it, and you'd go and they'd hand you a computer through the window. Really?

No. No, I made that up. What the hell? He's just trying to stall because he knows he's wrong. It was an American internet company that provided Here's the origin of the pronunciation, which is really stupid. Extremely generic.

Are you guys ready for the origin of the pronunciation? He said, he called it gif with a soft G He said choosy developers choose jif is he used the fucking jif peanut butter slogan That is why he pronounced it jif wait. Where's the J? Where's the organ from? Where are you getting this organ that you're telling us? Time magazine you're saying origin. I see no you're saying. No, I'm just curious. I just, the giraffe thing doesn't make sense because G-I-F in gift is not G-I-R.

You have one that's similar, that's a completely different consonant. Fast forwarding, fast forwarding on the timeline. November 2012, Oxford Dictionary weighs in and they say it can be pronounced either way. Oh Moving on If you start talking about Merriam-Webster, I'm out Barack Obama himself says is pronounced gift with a hard G. Yeah, but he was our worst president ever drone strikes

killed an American citizen Drone strikes killed an American citizen pizza gate gizmodo which is an online publication you mean Gizmodo tech techie that funny Randy that's that's not bad they are team hard G as well well yeah they're gizmodo like they're yes they're already painted Jeff peanut butter they can't be called gizmodo in 2013 Jeff peanut butter weighed in and't be called Jizmoto. In 2013, Jeff peanut butter weighed in and said it's a soft G. Well, credibility they have. They make peanut butter, not graphic interface formats. You're right.

Jizmoto is just Quasimodo's. It's just like alter ego. So what he's doing all day. He's just trying to goon it up there. Yeah, just totally. There was a survey done in 2014. A thousand Americans were surveyed. And 54% said hard G G were surveyed and 54% said Harjit Giff.

Wow, 54% of real stunning majority. Was it 7 million Americans who said that? 100. Let's see. The most recent update on this timeline, February 2020, online gift site Giphy teamed up with Jeff Peanutbutter to have some fun with the debate. Two companies unveiled a limited edition jar of peanut butter and Jeff's trademark packaging and labeled GIF with a G, G-I-F. While some may think the packaging implies that GIF and Jeff rhyme, according to the

two companies in a series of accompanying GIFs on Giphy, the opposite of true. The opposite is true. At Giphy, we know there's only one GIF and it's peanut butter. If you're a soft G, please visit gif.com, the peanut butter website. If you're a hard G, thank you. We know you're right. That's right. That's so dumb though, because GIF is J-I-F. According to Giphy, GIF is pronounced with a hard G, unlike the GIF. I don't know why we're trying to pit this peanut butter company against a file type.

Because the original, the guy who created them made the connection like right off the bat. It's an acronym and it's graphic with a hard G. Whoa, whoa, whoa. So what's the whole point of the peanut butter thing? Like, what was that? What is like, what do you take away from that? Extrapolate the data. He was just, he was just trying to make it, um, just put it, put a brand on it. Like he was just trying to connect it to a popular brand to make it catch on. I think he's like, so what does that? Choosy developers choose Jeff, he said.

Hold on. Okay. Like choosy people choose Jeff as the slogan for Jeff peanut butter. So this all goes back to the guy who invented it or whatever, calling it Jif? Yeah. Yes. Okay. I'm rolling with Mike. But it's not up to him. The guy who invented it?

Yeah. Why? Yeah, you can't. How many things do we name that the guy who discovered it, like animals or fucking cells? He's probably dead now and I respect him. Get to name it. Is he dead? Happens all the time.

Can you give me another example? Yeah. Like any, the guy who developed, or the first person to discover a fucking praying mantis or the first person to discover any, any like cellular organism, they get to name it. I don't, I don't, I don't know how that works, but you can, if, even if you come up with a name, like a spelling for something, you can't, you can't also choose a pronunciation.

If I, if I invented something. And I would say, yeah, I'm going to call it, uh, whatever. That's like saying, Huell, you can't call something, you can't call it Huell. That's a brand name. You got to call it Huell. That's brand, that's a brand name. But somebody, somebody still created it. I look at it, I look at it very similarly. Proper nouns are different. Than a GIF? Yeah. Or a GIF. Yeah. I just, I don't see why. I don't think. That's so weird to me.

I just disagree. Because the G can go either way. We know that. Because, okay, G-I-F, he could pronounce it any way he wants. That's like, he could pronounce it like, fuck, you know? Like that doesn't make sense because it's a hard G. But no one pronounces the G like that. The G does go, there's two ways the G can go and even like a silent way in yokey. I live in the uh by the g code

Oh there it is and so like I'm team hard g all the way through. I actually pronounce it like in lasagna We get okay. We have you two on hard g dave and our soft boys Will you holler out to Brett? I'm not saying I'm not saying this wins or anything. I just want to take a survey the whole dad this to his timeline Okay, put it on the timeline Go ask the legends did Dave ratio you last night? I don't think so.

Come on. He was close to ratioing you. That's why I piled on. I haven't ratioed in a minute. Yeah, you have, dude. Was he close? I think Will went viral last night. I did.

I went a little viral last night. I knew I was early on that one too. People are discussing. I was like, well, this guy's going viral. May as well hop in. Let's see if I went ratio. Yeah, I'm being accused of stealing a tweet. No, he didn't ratio me.

From a viral tweet. And I went to the guy's timeline. Oh yeah. Who I'm accused of stealing it from. And he tweeted my graphic three hours later than me. Like what are we doing here? Come on. Like we have receipts.

Yeah, you are. You're certified micro, that's cool. How do I get to macro? Tweet about your son making a decent job. No, what numbers do I need to go to a macro? Macro is 10,000 retweets. 10,000 retweets? I think it's a thousand retweets. No, we're talking macro, buddy.

Yeah, but if you have a thousand retweets, and you probably have 10,000 or 14,000 likes, that's pretty good. That's like regular viral. Okay. There's micro, reg, macro. Okay, that's fair. 5,000 I think you could still call macro.

Okay. I think over a million views on it. How about that? A million. This is the genus tweet. Okay. She's making sure I like it. I like that pronunciation better.

So I'm gonna call it genus. I'm gonna call it that going forward. I'm really glad that you came correct for that segment because I didn't have any arguments. I honestly didn't know that was the segment. I thought, cause no one got a new Apple watch. Like I thought we were going to talk about something else. Oh yeah. It came up because I was working out yesterday and our buddy

Blaine sent a gift to the group and Siri said uh Blaine sent a gift. I was like huh interesting that Siri would say gift. What uh what accent is Siri? What night? She's got the English accent still? I don't know. What's interesting is- No, no, you can reset it. She didn't, it was interesting because she didn't read the word that someone texted because sometimes those pronunciations can be a bit off. She just said, you received this format of a file

and this is what it is. I don't know. I didn't care for the segment. I thought Dylan was kind of jazz lighting us. You know, there are always gonna be be gift people and always going to be gift people. It's just the world we live in. You know? Let's hear from our friends at Squarespace. Today's episode is sponsored by Squarespace. Here's the thing. You know your boy loves Squarespace.

It's the all-in-one website platform for entrepreneurs to stand out and succeed online, whether you're just starting out or managing a growing brand. Squarespace makes it easy to create a beautiful website, engage with your audience, sell anything from products to content to time, all in one place, all on your terms. I've been using Squarespace, I think for 12 years. I started by simply taking a template. Not only do they have templates that you can modify with all your colors, your fonts, your spacing, everything you could ever desire.

They have pages that you can take that might correspond with what you're trying to create. So say you're a restaurant, Dylan, and you wanna start taking restaurant reservations. There's probably a place where you can go and click and they have all that stuff kinda laid out in a format so you can just fill it in with your information rather than building it from the ground up.

You can do a blog on there, you can sell your products on there, you can collect email addresses from there, you can even send emails from there. Wow. And here's the thing. I'm not even reading copyright. I just know it front to back. I've spent so much time tinkering in Squarespace.

You're a certified Squarespace head. My wife, whenever she sees me tinkering with a Squarespace site, she says, please shut your laptop. You're going to be doing this all night. I'm like, yeah, I love it. I love it. It's just, it's just great. Here's the thing though. If you go to squarespace.com, you can get a free trial. When you're ready to launch,

go to squarespace.com slash steam to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. Again, squarespace.com slash steam, get 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. I'm one of those kind of weird people who, you're like, Dylan, if I told you right now to connect a domain name to a website or domain. I'm one of those kind of weird people who you like Dylan if I told you right now to connect a domain name to a website would you know how to do that? I think you know that the answer is no. It would take me like depending on the situation it would take me doing research to figure it out.

Doing it from Squarespace is literally the easiest thing in the world. I just type in you can just you can just start riffing in there and typing in random things and seeing if it comes up as something you can buy. You're saying anyone can do it? Anyone can do it. Go get it. I know we've been social media heavy today.

Some of the best episodes. I've recently upgraded my Twitter verification. I don't even know what it called. I'm a Twitter premium person though. Bro, you're admitting that? Yeah, dude. Bro. Yeah, dude. It's it's pretty dope. No, I I decided that if I'm going to be anti-Elon, I at least need to have my tweets be visible on his timeline, you know? I want him to mute me at some point. Oh, I didn't think about that.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, when you upgrade, you can get GROK, which is Twitter's AI. And you can ask it to do anything. You can ask it to relay information to you. You can ask it to make a photo of Sam Darnold in an ISIS outfit, which I saw over the last couple days. I saw it. Or you can ask it to make you a new profile photo. And so last night I was just kind of bored, passing some time, avoiding TikTok and Reels. And I decided to type in, make me a new profile photo. And it didn't do me any favors,

but before I get to mine, I would, this morning when I was putting this together, I decided that I would ask Grok to make new profile photos for you guys. Ooh, I'm excited. Do you wanna see what Grok thinks you guys look like? Yeah, I'd love to. Okay, do you wanna start with-

Does it actually look like us? Well, so I need to say, Grok does take a long time to load with these things, and it was weirdly taking a really long time this morning, so a lot of these photos are cut off, but you get the gist of it. Let's start with Dylan. You wanna start with Dylan?

Or we can start with Dave. I think we should start with Dave. Okay, let's start with Dave. Let's start with Dave. Dave, here's what Grok thinks you might look like. Oh, where? There's Dave. And here it is.

The first one looks more like Dylan to me. Yeah. That's fucking tight. Uh. Is it? And then you're just a black dude who loves golfing. With the mustache. This one looks more like Dylan to me. Yeah. It's fucking tight. And then you're just a black dude who loves golfing. With the mustache. Okay. They all have mustaches.

So that part actually is accurate. The one in the top left, the white dude, he looks like that standup guy we were talking about. Andrew Schultz. Yeah, he does. Are you sneaky, Andrew Schultz? Wait, is that a Claret Jug back there? The shadow of what's going on there? I think it's close too.

What? Handsome fella. This is your TGL tweets just showing their ass right now. I would take that hairline. Great hairline. I'd say I'd take that guy's just entire look. The other- He's a good looking dude.

The dude in the, with all the golf clothes behind him kind of looks like a smaller Anthony Mackie? No. He has so many golf clubs. What's the dude's name? He's in all sorts of shit. He's blackish. I think he'd get too many.

I think he'd get criticized for how many clubs he has in his bag here. Anthony Anderson. A lot. Like a younger one? Like smaller. But okay. Yeah. hey, fuck yeah. It's pretty accurate. Are you going blade collar here Dave,

or is that an actual, I think that's an actual collar. It's going top shelf. It's pretty sick, look. It's a trash polo. It's very Bubba friendly. Yeah, if you wore that polo out, I would think to myself, huh, interesting polo from Dave. Could be the move.

Like Roebeck's not selling those. No, no, no. Wash 20 for 20% off your Roebecks? That's right. Do you wanna see what Dylan looks like? Yes. Like, Roeback's not selling those. No, no. No. Wash 20 for 20% off your Roeback's? That's right. Do you wanna see what Dylan looks like? Yes. Okay, okay. Why is it cut off?

What's going on? Because it wasn't loading. It wouldn't load fully. Or you're just like Wilson from Home Improvement. I am in front of a microphone, so that part's accurate. Is that a mic? Yeah, that's a microphone. Okay, I thought it was like a...

An African American fella. Are you obsessed with the color yellow? Like on the low low? I don't know that I own any yellow actually. Then why is it putting you only in yellow hats? I don't know. I don't know. Old Coldplay ass?

How many times you listened to Coldplay yellow in the last week? My profile picture on Twitter, there is a microphone in frame. So I think that's where they pulled the microphone from. So that part makes sense to me. The rest of it, I don't know. There's also a clearly white dude in frame.

That's true. I am tan though. Maybe he's got a little confused. I did wonder that. I did wonder that. Yeah. I asked it to make one of mine. And the reason I wanted,

I was thinking about this in the first place was just because There was one detail on mine. That was very interesting and entertaining to me. So does grock stink? Yeah, I think rock might stink I think it's good if you want to make like a picture of a famous person doing something stupid But I don't think it's very good at identifying the actual user. It's regular Joe's I also think we don't post enough. Okay, it's not that we don't post enough But we don't post a lot of photos of ourselves

on social media, on Twitter. Like Instagram, you're just posting photos of yourself. Twitter, you're just posting shit posts. Randy, can you bring up mine? Just one of them? I don't care, you can bring up as many as you want. But okay, just not the last one. You want to save that last one, you told me.

All right, so here's one of them. I look like Jack from Twitter playing the old course again with the trash shirt. You're like Dan, if Dan stopped working out for a year, Zepig Dan. Yeah, this is Zepig Dan. This is like, is he sick, Dan? You're holding a pint of beer. That's great. Okay. Next one, Randy. Okay.

Even worse shirt. A little bit. That shirt stinks. Two collars though. Two collars. Two short sleeve shirts. One's top shelf. No, I wouldn't wear those sunglasses.

I feel like that's not doing me any favors in the looks front. Next one, Randy. It knows you have a beard, clearly. Okay. Now it's just making me be 64 years old. That's an old fella. That's Huberman world.

Again, with beer and all three friends. I think it's because making me be 64 years old. That's an old fella. It's Huberman Well again with beer and all three all three things because I tweet about vortex bottles and Guinness so much Yeah, I do tweet about beer a lot Friday and then the final one was my favorite mainly because This gentleman has five turtleneck collars. Did you just stack again with the beer? Yeah, that's a lot of colors he's got five it. It's because I've been tweeting about five colors in the burnover so much that they gave me five turtlenecks. Yeah. Who's the barstool producer PMT? Is it Hank? Yeah. Give it that. It looks like it does look like Hank. He's getting

tagged like crazy in my my Guinness tweet from last night. Let me see that. That's going on. He must be he must be either a Guinness boy or he must be into that. What's going on here? I picked my nails. No, you're just sausage fingered up. Yeah. That index finger is.

It's from all the construction work I do. It's very girthy. That's a thumb. Boy, you could do some damage to that. That's a pointer thumb. Yeah, that's a paw right there. Jeez. I don't have big hands.

You can see right here. Yeah, you can see right there. Okay. So, congratulations. Beard, can see right there. Okay. So congratulations beard, multiple colors in a beer. There is no confusion that you are white. You are a white guy and you're in Scotland about to play around golf, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it took the background from a photo I tweeted recently

of me and Sally. Okay. So that would technically be Italy if that was the case. Yeah, they all seem very they're all very yeah with the rock wall behind you It's time let's go out this weekend is it is this you in Amsterdam Dylan It's hard to tell what the background is very snowy could be I wasn't snowing there Did you post any photos of yourself in Amsterdam? Yeah Could be. It wasn't snowing there. Did you post any photos of yourself in Amsterdam? Yeah.

Interesting. All right. Dylan, did you see the soccer stuff yesterday? You got tagged in one single tweet, but I'm not sure if you went and looked at it. No. There's a new Liverpool coach, his name is Arnie Slott. Okay.

And they were losing yesterday to Nottingham Forest and the Nottingham Forest fans started chanting, or doing a chant. In your head. Oh yeah? In your head. Is that the same? And then they started going,

Arne, Arne. Okay, every now and then I get tagged in a tweet where it's a video of like inside the stadium, like the whole stadium singing. Is that the same? I assume that's the same thing? Yeah. Okay. It's cool. Everyone gets involved. of like inside the stadium and like the whole stadium singing is that the same I assume that's the same thing yeah okay it's Cool everyone gets involved I

Just love a zombie reference. Yeah, fuck. Yeah, it's great song. It's time bro. Let's go out this weekend There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off Last year I decided to get myself some cowboy boots. I didn't even think about where I was going. Randy, where did I go straight to? You went straight to Tacovas. Was it ever a question of where I was going straight to? It was never a question that he was going anywhere else. I'm now the proud owner of a pair of Tacovas.

The only other time in my life that I've owned a pair of boots was when I was younger and I hated wearing them because they were so uncomfortable. Have to say. Not the case with our friends over at Tacovas. These things are so comfortable right out the box. Anywhere worth going is worth going in good boots. Find your perfect pair with Tacovas. They create quality Western boots for everyone from generational ranchers to lifelong cowboys to first-time boot buyers. They

don't care if you're all had no cattle brother. They'll sell you a pair of boots. All my friends have Tacovas. I have Tacovas. They're great boots. I feel like we've seen the rise of Tacovas in real time. I moved down here in 2015. They started in 2015 and I heard about Tacovas and people were like, dude, these are great boots for a great price. And then like, they weren't like huge, huge then, and now they've just taken off. Yeah, they're everywhere. And I've gotten so good.

I can spot them now. They have the best smelling story in Austin, Texas. You walk into that place, it just smells like beautiful leather. Whether it's a long day or a big night, your Tacovas are built to last and impressed, and that's why Esquire loves them and says, there's a reason we keep coming back to Tacovas. But seriously, do you see me at a concert in the near future? You just know I'm wearing my Tacovas because they give me a couple inches. That's a good bit.

Dylan, what's on the old docket this weekend, my guy?

I'll be brief because I don't have a ton going on actually. My entire weekend is open. I'm available. Ready to step out at a moment's notice. Could use a Maddow Ranchos trip. I'm not going to Mets this weekend. Could use beers with the boys. Are you going to this? Could be down for pretty much anything. Fuck. I turned down tickets. So yeah, not much much going on so we won't spend too much time on me You know look for any comets? No, okay. No crowd. How about that one though?

2046 man are you gonna make a redemption omelet after the omelet you put on the screen earlier compared to Dave's I don't need a redemption on that mine's mine's incredible I think if anyone saw Dave's picture from earlier and then saw your picture, they'd think that Dave's was probably better. Dude, you're getting better for sure. That's a good omelet. That wasn't Dave's omelet. That was Dave's omelet. I just don't photograph all my omelets

because I just do them so much. You fancy plates and silverware? China. How about you, Dave? Well, first I'm gonna be weatherizing the home, getting ready to cover my plant. So we got a cold spell bussing in this weekend. Another one possible pre-sip. What plants are you covering, Dave?

The desert plants. So the agave or ajave. Ajave, yeah. Ajave. I like that better actually. Agave or a job a job a job a job a Like that better actually, I've got some other ones a little yucca and Then I've got a rose bush from that sponsor. We had what was it fast growing trees? Yeah, the rose bush is Boston. So I have a rose bush that I haven't really known what to do with It's too heavy to bring inside. I probably should just cover it There's some leaves coming out that you know that usually are very beautiful and they've all died but the actual rose

bush itself looks beautiful. Yeah. I just I'm not we don't cover our plants up in northern Michigan so it's a new thing for me. I don't know what to do. Yeah just I don't want to have to replace anything. It's a total beating and it's not cheap. Then we got we get T-ball Saturday 230. We got a little wild card, or excuse me, divisional weekend. We got, of course, the Texans, 3.30, Saturday. There's slot. Texans on the road in Kansas City. Be following that.

But Sunday, Hot Wheels. Excuse me, hold on. It's the Hot Wheels Monster Truck Live at the Moody Coliseum, Skeletor's five alarm gangster, Megaracks, Bone Shaker, Tiger Shark and Bigfoot. No Gravedigger? No Gravedigger, Meb. No, he dug his own grave. Oh.

I don't know. He may not be a part of the Hot Wheels monster truck. Which show you going to, Hoff? Sunday. What time? Sunday't know. He may not be a part of the which show you going to Hoff Sunday. What time? Sunday, Sunday. Aren't there two? There's a Saturday, which we originally had tickets to and then like our friends from school, they can't go. So we just switched them to Sunday. So we're going Sunday. Damn. Had I known you were going, I maybe would have not turned down the tickets. Well, I didn't know we were going until very very recently I was told about this and I I didn't store that information in my archive. I get it But I'm very excited. So we got that we got the headphones the noise canceling gonna go in and gonna watch some fucking

Monster trucks some Hot Wheels monster trucks. I'm pretty excited for Gunster those monster trucks. I'm pretty excited for gunkster. Didn't they call you that in college? Isn't it junkster? It's the junkster position. So that's what we're doing. It's good. It's gonna be fun. Will?

Oh, yeesh. I think it's a wide open weekend for your boy. Let's see, let's see, let's see. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So, Saturday Lions game. Sally got tickets to go to the Texas Stars hockey game. Let's go. Turns out the Texas Stars hockey game

is at the exact same time as the Lions game. Am I an asshole for not going to this hockey game Is at the exact same time as the Lions game? Am I an asshole for not going to this hockey game? Look I mean this As a Lions fan you have to you didn't you got a long time without this I've had fewer than I mean I could be wrong on this, but I think I've had fewer than Like what I can count on my hand playoff games in my life. This is a big one.

It's like, I told her, I was like, you get it, right? And she's like, yeah, no, I totally get it. Don't go to the hockey game. Just go watch the Lions. And so I was gonna go with some of her coworkers, take the Fritz man and I'm just gonna be lamping at home drinking some lot beers. It's a good situation.

Yeah, I think I might go full Michigan for this one. I think I might go Lion's Jersey. I think I might get just a Michigan spread of food. Maybe make some sour cream dip and ruffles. Just Bell's beer. Is it Bell's Michigan? Dude, yeah, but I think it couldn't have sold well in Texas because I don't see it as many places these days. The only ones I see are the Two Hearteds, which famously bite me in the ass. I don't want to get the sniffles. Okay. Too many hops. Oh, it's a hoppy beer.

You don't like the hops, daddy? Dylan's a beer guy, craft beer guy. You like to craft beer? Do you like a beer? You like a saison? I do. You like Dr. Evil? Why is Dr. Evil?

It's hard to say. What's wrong with that? Dr. Evil likes beer. I've got a lot of characters jump into this. I miss Dr. Evil? It's hard to say. Why, what's wrong with that? Dr. Evil likes beer. We've got a lot of characters jump into this. I miss Dr. Evil, Slim Shady. While you're best bits. I'd never be alone. That's Michigan.

Yeah. What? M&M. M&M. You can just bump M&M while you're watching the Lions game. Yeah, my vinyl collection's not great when it comes to Michigan artists. I don't have much in the hopper besides Bob Seeger.

Go get you a Marshall Mathers LP on vinyl. I also just got a text from my wife asking, can I get my eyebrows done on Sunday? At 10 a.m., Man U plays at 8 a.m. You're going to have to pick your battles on that Sunday, bud. It's nice that she's taken into account the Man U games. I think she's in on Amorim, our new manager, you know, who knows? I don't know. I don't have much going on.

I hate to say I'm about to say, I think I might try to do a little sober end of January. Wow. Come on. Really switching from just the wettest every drinking every day. The duality of man. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I got to lock in a little bit. I'm not locked in enough. And so I'm going to take it intentionally easy this weekend. If you find me at Matt's, just know that I put up a fight to go there. Will do. You got a big play. I'll have a smile on my face when I walk in, but just know that there was some probably a tense conversation

proceeding the car ride to Matt's. I could be convinced I could see myself in it up at Matt's. I've kind of been craving it. I could see myself going to home slice pizza this weekend, maybe getting a Zara, splitting a sub up for the squad, pitch a beer. If you want company, we might be out for that. Well, you just said picture a beer. This guy's fucking who what is this? Who am I kidding? I'm not going to be here for that. Wait, he just said pitcher of beer. This guy's

**** Who are what is this? I don't know. Who am I kidding? I'm not going to be sober during the Lions game. No, I'm going to I'm going to get a 30 pack of hams and see how many I can get for tomorrow. January, I'm going to go buy total wine

today. Get my guy. Give me some bells and I'm going to bring it in to totally tank this. I don't want any. If you get me bells like get me. I need a light sipper, dude Or get you a light sipper Okay, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I do. I've got some I've got some beers in my fridge that I have to get him Out of there. So I'll do sober January once I have no more alcohol in my fridge Okay, I can't just let it sit there. It's taking a lot of room that done. Sure. I

Got alcohol in my fridge, but I guess I'm just better than you I got alcohol in my fridge, but I guess I'm just better than you. Randy's taking a vacation day on Friday to go play Kaiser. I'm not taking the full day. Dude, my weekend starts today because I'm going tonight to go see Clue. You're actually doing it. I actually thought you already did it. No, no. Yeah, it's tonight and then tomorrow I'm going to to a bonsai tree at a brewery where I'll be having zero alcohol

But I'm gonna go do a little bonsai trio workshop. Did you drink it an aviar from them if they had it? No, I don't like beer in general. So You're gonna go to a DJ clue concert. So why didn't you go to the mead house for their bonsai class, dude? It's called a meadery first of all and I I do really wanna go to a metery at some point. No, when you're- If you told someone to spell metery, they're all spelling it M-E-A-T-E-R-Y. No, that's a butcher's-

Metery. And then yeah, Friday I'm playing golf with Dan. No. Yeah. Have you thought of what you'd call your mead company? Ooh. Real meters? I don't know, I have to think about that.

The need for Mead. It's not bad. It's wordy. Not bad. I'm getting served some real fucking Randy coated stuff lately. Hell yeah. Have you been getting served like the AI images

of all the nights? Which night you are? Yeah, and like stuff like that. Yeah. That shit's awesome. It came up and it said your birth month was your role in the kingdom and you were king. Yeah.

April was king. James and I send those to each other all the time. It's always because it's either April's really cool or April's really shit or July there. So it's always like, he's like the jester of poop. And it's like, ah. I got one the other day, that was a bunch of AI images of ancient castles.

And it said to send to your partner. And if they knew you well enough, they'd know which castle you want. Exactly. Sally crushed it. I'm loving those. I'm loving that, that, that content. That's Instagram.

That's the stuff I get Instagram reels. And I fucking love it. If I could get Fritz to watch Lord of the Rings, I'd sit down for an extendo this weekend. It's just simply not happening. Don't get Dylan. He'll never even try it again true. I Did boil him mash him stick him in a stew the other day and Sally just didn't give me anything for it

Maybe sad. Wow, I'm gonna pee so bad. I'm sorry. That's all right. We gotta get out of here. It's done. It's been fun guys Thanks for watching guys!
