All right, we're back circling back podcast coming to you live from the lodge. My name is Will DeFreeze. Am I right, Dave Ruff? I took in so many probiotics last night and this morning. It's not even funny. The amount of biological warfare going on in my stomach is just catastrophic. Doesn't that just completely offset all the antibiotics you took for your illness? Well...

You're back to square one. It's fight night in Dave Ruff's stomach. No, no, no. Well, no, the probiotics are good bacteria. The antibiotics kill... The problem with antibiotics is they kill the good and the bad. They kill the biotics. So I'm putting in the good.

I'm not putting in bad, to my knowledge. These are specifically geared for, I'll say it, the colon. Let's go. Big colon guy now. Bartolo Colon. Huh. What does your colon do? Does it filter?

Is it your filter? I think it's like the last. No one knows what it does. I think it's your last means of. The last stop last stop yeah it might be the last stop on the trip what's what's the thing that doesn't do anything the appendix i feel like the appendix is dispensable dude the appendix is just kind of the bad boy of like dispensable or expend the appendix was useful no one knows when when we we when we when people ate like wheat and raw berries and shit like it it had a purpose at some point and then we you know our culture developed a little bit and we started eating better shit now it's completely useless now pretty much interesting

that's interesting it is right because it's like it shouldn't be useless if it's in there. Dude, make yourself useful. Figure something out. That's just your roommate that's just sitting on the couch all the time playing video games. Dude, it's like 1.30 in the afternoon. Just go do something. There are a few lingering traits that the humans have that are just completely obsolete at this point. And the appendix is one of them.

This was from a few months ago. Maybe even six months ago or a year ago. are just completely obsolete at this point and the appendix is one of them you know do you guys it was this was from like a few months ago maybe even like six months ago or a year ago but it was just like this is what the human body is going to evolve into if like we're just all sitting on computers and stuff like that and i looked at it and i was like honestly that's not that far from what i currently look like what does it look like just a dude with awful posture yeah and like i'm like if you look i mean if you're watching on YouTube right now, I'm not changing my posture. And you can see that I'm just hunched. Yeah.

Posture is something I need to work on in 2020. Posture is key, man. Yeah. It'll really dress you up a little bit. My microphone's about to squeak because I'm going to work on my posture and sit up. Oh, man. Mash that posture button. Got it.

I'm a little worried about that, people being judgmental toward my sitting abilities. Yeah. My core strength. Yeah, it's weird. Like, now that we're doing in-studio video, which you can find at youtube.com slash watchmedia, I've been watching a couple clips from it, and I'm like, man, I kind of move around a lot. I'm a little skittish during these podcast recordings. I think I'm just excited.

You are excited. I'm a happy boy. How's everyone doing today think I'm just excited. You are excited. I'm a happy boy. How's everyone doing today? I'm doing great. I just cleared some space on my computer. I was getting the disk full notification every, I don't know, three seconds, and I cleared some space.

I feel like the weight of the world is just off my shoulders now. It feels good to do a little personal maintenance on the lappy. I feel great about it, yeah. Dave's a Microsoft guy now, so he's having a total of zero i went micro everyone looked back so dude i love that you're just rocking a microsoft yeah it's um i would like to go back to apple at some point but this is working fine this is a good laptop it's doing its job the transition back to

pc wasn't tough you're running windows over there what are you doing i am no i'm actually running uh linux windows 98 linux 88 never understood what the benefit of running linux was when people talk about it super developer gamer guy i think okay i think it's cool to say you're into linux yeah it's like being on into vinyl and not anything else. It's like the nerdy version of listening to type music. Hey, can I, can I, uh, be transparent here? No, I have, uh, I have flamed many, many, uh, sports franchises in my time doing this and I'm going to flame my own. I'm going to flame the Texas Rangers because, uh, per Twitter,

I didn't, I didn't even, this is my own fault. I'm going to play the Texas Rangers because per Twitter, I didn't even – this is my own fault. I didn't notice this. Texas Rangers is the only MLB team that hasn't made any statement on anything going on right now. That's weird. It's very weird. And I don't – I think we're one of a handful of teams,

or at least we were last time I looked into it, that had not come up with a plan for paying minor leaguers during the COVID and the season stoppage and all that. Are things in disarray because of the new stadium? They shouldn't be. First of all, the new stadium may not have even been ready by the time opening day rolled around. It's debatable. Who's paying for the stadium?

The taxpayers. Dude, I think owners should pay for their own stadiums. Yeah, man. Billionaires, yeah. Why does it sound like J-Bone now? Yeah, that's interesting. Because on the money side of things, I was like, well, maybe they just have so much money tied up.

But yeah, if it's taxpayer money, then why doesn't it, it wouldn't affect it. Tottenham Hotspur, a team that I could see you getting into, David. They built a new stadium with their personal money. I don't think it's taxpayer money. And it kind of hurt them because then coronavirus immediately hit, and now they have just this giant, beautiful, state-of-the-art, probably the best stadium in the world. But it's like, we just spent like a billion dollars on this thing,

so we can't just let it sit here, but it's just sitting there, and I think they're going to be in some dire financial straits moving forward. Were you asking if there's a sponsor on the stadium name? No, no. It's Globe Life Field. That's who has the rights to it, which it's going to be the ballpark. I'm going to call it the ballpark. I'm not going to get rid of that.

I didn't call it Ameriquest Field when it changed from the ballpark in Arlington. I'm not going to call it Globe Life now. The last one was still a very nice stadium. It was a great ballpark. If you could catch the weather. They just forgot to put a roof over the damn thing. They forgot to put a roof over it. It's in Texas.

It gets very hot. They're like, you know what? We should just start over and do a roof this time. That's a good move. Yeah. As someone who needs a roof on their stadiums in Texas, that's great. That's the reason I didn't get Austin FC tickets is because I'm like, well, I've got to see what part of the stadium doesn't catch all the sun.

That makes sense. There's no way that I could go to a game in June, July, August, September. Is that when the MLS season is? It's summer, yeah. What are they thinking? I think they're going to have some coverage. So I'm not totally worried, but I'm a little worried. Tell me this.

Do the fans in MLS stand up the entire game? No clue. I've never been to an MLS game. No, there's no way. I've never been to one. Because that would make it actually better. Because it would really mitigate swamp ass. It wouldn't stop you from sweating, but it would mitigate the pooling effect.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Sitting down always amplifies it. And so, yeah, if you can stand up the entire time, that's ideal, even though you might get a little tired. I think it just depends on your section. This is bothering me. Well, fix it. Dude, Dave and I are having cord issues.

I'm glad it was bothering you, too, because it was bothering me. I didn't want to reach over and, like, touch your cord. You never touch another man's cord. We're getting resettled into this, too. It takes a minute. So be better, Texas Rangers. Read the fucking room. Yeah.

Yeah, that's disappointing. I'm a Rangers fan as well, so I'll chime in here. It's disappointing. Why not just make a statement? Yeah, I mean, you can't even do the bare minimum. Yeah, that is the bare minimum. Quite literally. It takes, you know, 15 minutes to draft something up, get it, you know, edited, and boom, you fire it out there.

Your team is comprised of predominantly people of color. Like, you can show some support. Yeah, yeah. If you're a player on that team right now, you're just kind of sitting there like, all right, cool. All right. I'm really hoping I didn't miss the statement. This young lady, at Morgan Price on Twitter, she posted this last night.

Did you put the onus on her? No, I guess I kind of did. I guess I kind of did, but shout out to her. I mean, is that better or worse than the F1 team that just put their logo in the middle of their black box on social media? Shows to McLaren, man. Yeah, dude. Great work, guys.

Don't put the logo in. Who cares? Don't put the logo in. Are they a Euro company? I believe they're British, yeah. British. McLaren. British.

I was actually seeing McLaren for my first season on F1. Their cars stink, man. Yeah, they held me back. I had to move up. Had to move. So that's Bobby McLaren's team. It's, uh, I don't have any good McLaren puns right now. It's Bobby McLaren.

Isn't he a soccer player? Thinking of Brian McBride? Robert McLaren was a Scottish professional footballer. How do you know that? We've got the Google. He was born in Glasgow. Glasgow or Glasgow? I believe it's Glasgow.

Dude, no one knows. Because I think I said Glasgow when I was there, and somebody was like, oh, no, Glasgow. That was a terrible Scottish accent from your boy. Dude, you know what I would be doing if I was over there I would extreme Peter voice tilt my head back Glasgow there you go that's it that's it dude that's I think that's the perfect ending to fun and easy banter let's go it was fun and it was easy that's the thing it's so stupid my gut bacteria is just throwing me off and I apologize. It's shameful, honestly.

Since you brought it up, I might as well chime in. Come on, dude. Hanging around Dylan too long. He's putting it on you now. It's palpable that you have weird gut bacteria. I'm going to come out of this on the other end with the gut bacteria that I bring to you guys and bring to this podcast. It is going to be the best gut bacteria.

I'm just imagining your gut right now just having like – it's just a cage match in there. It is, dude. There's just dudes running around. Five rounds. Just hitting each other over the head with chairs, just like jumping from the top rope. Some people are even climbing the cage and jumping off that. Wow, you're not supposed to do that. I know you're not supposed to, but they're doing it.

Probiotics, they shot a takedown, and now it's a ground fight. So the probes are Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, like legit ones. The Antis, they're more like striking. It's tough, man. Styles make match-ups. Remember when Stone Cold came in with the beer truck and just started like – I'm just imagining him. Oh, that was me last night when I went to Juice Land.

I was going to say, you pouring kombucha down your throat. It's just like, oh! What is he doing? My God is my witness. It's the juice land. That's kombucha's music. There's cayenne pepper. A hint of ginger.

Hit him with the ginger. And just a smidge of lemon. Dylan's like, can we move on? No, Randy just sent me with a link to the desk that he wants for the studio. How much is it? Swag? How much is it? Honestly, it's cheap as shit.

It's $159. Look, I'm not trying to flex. I'm not buying you a $150 desk. It looks like there's no way it would fit in here. So he says he measured, and hopefully he did a good job of it. But it looks enormous. Well, let's pull back the curtain about Randy's desk that is just not here. So he says he measured and hopefully he did a good job of it. But it looks enormous. Let's pull back the curtain about Randy's desk that is just not here. Yeah.

So we ordered a desk before COVID. Two weeks before we left the stew we ordered a desk. So it arrived around the time we left the stew to go home. And I was tracking the shit out of it of course. Tracking packages is what we do. They said it

arrived. So we came here to look for it. Nowhere to be found. Contacted property management. They haven't seen it. It didn't turn up. I expected it to just eventually turn up like it was in someone's office or something, but no. And so it's just lost. It's gone. There's a desk floating out there somewhere that should be ours, but it's not. So we have to buy a new one. You know what's particularly frustrating about said desk and the other things that we've had delivered that have been mysteriously taken is that our building is owned by like a security company there's cameras everywhere yeah and like uh no dude there's one point there's a thermal

there's legitimately a thermal cam out there right now no No, there's four different screens when you walk in. We've already talked about this, I think. Yeah, we have. So we have all these screens when you walk in. But then if you turn to the side over this little bar area when you walk into the building, there's three webcams just stacked on top of one another just sitting there. I think they've been fine to us. I'm not going to speak ill of them, but I feel like they test their equipment on us.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, why are there so many cameras just on us at all times? But it's been there for a couple months now, that whole setup out there. The homie got a kick out of it. Yeah, he was probably just like, what? He was like, oh, okay. I could see the thermal scan being tight for a kid.

Yeah, he was like, oh. He was moving like it was funny. Yeah, it's probably like being in a freaking science museum for the kid. It's like matching the sicko mode button. Yeah. When you go thermal. I matched the thermal button. He started doing the Toosie slide.

How do you say it? Toosie? Toosie? Toochie? Toochie Southside Sub. I don't remember how to say it. The Drake song. The new Drake song.

Oh, you mean the one that all the kids at my nephew's pool party were doing? Right foot up. Left foot slide. Left foot slide. Go off, dude. I'm pretty sure it's Toosie. I think it's Toosie. It is Toosie.

Yeah. He started doing that. He did. I was going to say, the homie knows how to do the Toosie slide. He crushed it, man. Anyway. Can we talk about bird dogs for a minute uh i saw numerous people wearing bird dogs this past weekend for those that keep asking yeah some of the bird dogs guy from tv like it's not a big

deal yeah y'all are yeah yeah and i like mom like yeah you're right that was me on the golf channel i'm the happy hour pants guy from that commercial you know what's really for just go we actually like bird dogs so much that bird dogs didn't even put that that commercial on the golf channel we actually paid for that to be on the golf channel yeah we were like dude let's use our money and just put it up put it there we raise some venture cabs all of our budget on it but it was worth it the investors are not happy uh that's okay i mean yeah usually you don't want to advertise for other companies with your ad dollars it's supposed to be the other way around but like well we do things

differently here yeah sorry we kind of made ourselves a middleman but look we didn't get this far by doing things by the book so no and like i i i act up a little bit when i see jim shorts with the built-in silky soft inner liner that makes underwear. Yeah. When I saw the ones that they sent me, the tan, almost khaki pair, I was a little like, oh, I've got khaki shorts. But these have turned into some of my favorites. Because they've got the lining is like turquoise, right? And once you get that contrast, if you show a little leg like we all like to do,

especially Dylan, he's thirsty, that contrast is beautiful. They also dry really fast, Dave. You can take a dip in them if you'd like. Actually, I believe you did take a dip in yours. Yeah. I put my hand up on your hip first. When I dip, you dip, I dip, or it doesn't go like that. Correct.

You're close. Something around. I wasn't going to stop you. Here's what I know about these things. They're comfortable. They drive fast. Yeah, I said that, Will. He's just going through his...

And they're swagged out. I'm recapping what we're saying. Did you say that they were swagged out, though? I left that out. Yeah, well, why don't you just apologize to Will now? I'm sorry. Apologize to him. I'm sorry.

Okay. Go to birddogs.com, enter promo code STEAM, and they'll throw in a free pair of nunchucks. Yes, you heard that right. Nunchucks. You'll get an actual murder weapon along with your pair of birddogs. That's birddogs.com, promo code STEAM and boom, a free pair of nunchucks with your pair of birddogs. You said nunchucks?

You will not take these things off. I promise you. I almost spit my comm out. Kombucha I was drinking. Nunchucks. That's crazy. Like a movie. I feel like no other clothing companies are doing that.

No. I can almost confirm that no other clothing companies are sending out nunchucks with their stuff. So if you want to get nunchucks, just do it. We should start sending out bo staff with all of our shirt orders. What about brass knuckles? No, that's illegal. Oh. Are they?

They're legal? They were in Texas. Actually, no. They were legal in Texas. They legalized brass knuckles? No, that's illegal. Oh. Are they? They're legal? They were in Texas. Actually, no, they were legal in Texas. They legalized brass knuckles like a year ago. What's the point? Guys, dude, it's fucking, it's not a defense thing. What, are we about to get in a street fight with the Cobras? Imagine being a guy who just carries one of those on him.

I had a buddy with brass knuckles growing up, actually. How twisted are you? I feel like the only people that wear brass knuckles these days or have them are good Charlotte fans who just thought it was kind of a swag look to have. Yeah, they've never actually hit anybody with them. Yeah, they're clean. There's no scratches on them from punching people in the face or anything like that. I mean, I like the Beastie Boys, too, but it's unnecessary.

That super chachi country singer that I was making fun of a while back, Brantley Gilbert, his microphones have built-in brass knuckles on them. Beastie Boys too, but it's unnecessary. That super chachi country singer that I was making fun of a while back, Brantley Gilbert, his microphones have built-in brass knuckles on them. So he puts his fingers through there to hold the mic. Damn, holds the mic like a vandal. Okay. Brantley. We should probably finish the Bird Dogs for you.

What? We finished it. Oh, we did? Yeah, we're good. Can I say something about the Bird Dogs commercial? Yes. How funny is it that I got not in the TV one, but I couldn't even make the golf channel. Come on. That's like, you know how big of a blow to my ego, like not making the golf?

That's all I want to do. That's the only channel I want to be on. Food, give me food, give me golf. Give me that which I desire. All I do in these commercials is just sit in the background sunburnt and confused. Yeah, you look like a tomato. Why are you so red in that commercial? I don't know.

I don't know. I'm pulling a Brett. Has anybody tweeted that? Somebody did. Somebody screenshot it and then just took my face from it and just tweeted only my face. It looked like you had spent three minutes in the air fryer. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. But I have yet to see myself say any words.

They must just not like how I said it or what I said. I do remember the second we started turning on the camera and everyone started going, I was kind of shell-shocked because you guys just started firing from either side. And I was like, I don't really know what to do. So I'm just going to sit here and hold these pants up. Yeah, I didn't say a whole lot. They use, I think, all of my lines. 100% of your lines.

Which is tight. God. I mean, look at the guy. He's golf channel ready. These are my golf pants, my happy hour pants. It's gold. You're just a likable guy, almost as likable as the next guy we're going to talk about, Lance Armstrong.

Yeah, you are the Lance of the squad. Oh, man. I don't think he's that likable. What if we start a pants line and we call it the most crappable pants? I mean, if there's a company out there that is out there actively trying to combat swamp ass? Swampies. Let me know. We make swampies the most swamp ass friendly and in the

event you grab your pants the most doo-doo friendly pant yeah swampies is a fun name but i don't i don't know if it's a very marketable name swampies it's just a gator this actually has legs if you get swamp ass these are the you need to try on some swamp we. We have two mascots, and it's the two gators that got into a pushing match in someone's backyard. The most disappointing video of 2020. Dude, for how much media coverage that got. That's one of those stories that's like, all right, we got natural content for this week's episode. It's like, we're good. Just watch these gators fight.

And then you watch the gators fight, and it's like, wait, they weren't even fighting. It's like when you're walking down the street and you play push your buddy. I don't even think it was that. I think it was the gator signaling to him, like, all right, let's bounce. Yeah. He just put his mouth on him. It was like, let's get out of here. Or you tap your buddy on the butt, tell him good game.

Goose him. Goose him. Kiss him. What? But yeah, that video disappointed. Yeah, it was lame. You know what didn't disappoint? It was the 30 for 30 Lance. Very true, David. What? But yeah, that video disappointed. Yeah, it was lame. You know what didn't disappoint? It was the 30 for 30 Lance.

Very true, David. What was it even called? Lance. It's called Lance. We all finished it, correct? I hope so, because we're about to discuss it. It's just two Eppys, right? Just two Eppys.

I mean, yeah, but they're two-hour episodes. Right. Four hours. We talked about it briefly, episode one. Episode two I thought was a million times better, or more engaging. I don't know if it's better. It made me dislike Lance more than I thought it would make me dislike Lance. Episode two.

Oh, okay. So you're less of a Lance guy now after episode two. Yeah. I still appreciate what he's done for cancer survivors and cancer patients, and I appreciate the athletic prowess that it took to win the Tour de France seven times when everybody was cheating in the exact same way. But the more they got into the treatment of people after, I was like, oh, man, okay, okay.

He's a jerk. Yeah. Yeah. I don't hold the, like you said, I don't hold the cheating against him as much as others do because in order to compete you kind of had to yeah you had to you had not you not you kind of you had to if you wanted to be up there with the top dogs so i understand that but the way he handled it was uh less than ideal i mean he's a certified madman you have to be in order to win that seven times like say the same thing about Jordan. Yeah, exactly.

You're probably the same person. Yeah, it's just that Lance cheated to get there, and then instead of just being like, yeah, I cheated, he just went scorched earth. I understand. I think that is a thing with people, that when they start getting caught in their web of lies, your defense mechanism isn't to come clean.

Your defense mechanism is to just go full. Go on the offense. Yeah, and I understand where he's coming from with that because I think he had so much tied up in his personal brand that it was like, well, it's going to go down in flames eventually, so I need to get done what I get done in order to make sure that everything's still going on. He had so many. What was the stat on the Livestrong bracelets?

They sold 80 million? I don't know. I bought at least 40 of those things myself. I always kept a look. I mean, I couldn't imagine living in the year 2001 and not living strong. No. I was definitely trying to live strong. It was like Doc Martens and then the Livestrong band.

Yeah. That was the look. God, where were you working? You were like five years out of college by then. Because you're older. I was in high school, David. Thank you. Thank you, though.

Cool, Lance. Floyd Landis, I went into this kind of ready to be like, dude, you know what? Floyd Landis is such a wiener. And now I actually feel really bad for Floyd Landis. He is a wiener, though. He's a wiener, but I feel bad for him. Because I think he was just, he's a badass athlete, but he wasn't built like Lance.

And when it came time, his statement, watching him try to read that statement, I was like, oh, no. No, yeah, that was so uncomfortable. I kind of remembered a lot of that stuff, not specifically and not enough to be like, oh, this is when this happened. But it was all this faint memory for me me Floyd Landis really just brought me down and when it came when at the end when they said that he took his settlement and tried to turn it into a team of his own and they couldn't get a sponsor man don't put that on there I was just like oh this is this is the

toughest blow in this entire documentary right now. The dude just cannot get a dub. Yeah, I was like, man, couldn't they give us something else? Doesn't he own, I think I heard he owns a weed shop. Is that in there? In Colorado, which dope. Dude, good for him. I saw that he pivoted to the frat swoop hairstyle. He did.

Modern day. What's up with that? I don't know. What religion was he a part of? Mennonite. Mennonite. So I admittedly didn't know much about them before Sally started kind of explaining it to me. I believe there's a big Mennonite community outside of Lubbock. Interestingly.

So it's just dudes that walk around after the sun goes down? that walk around like after the sun goes down? Are they friendly with the cowboys? Oh, my God. What's wrong with you? I don't. Just shut up. Okay, sorry.

Just shut up. What's the actual question? I don't know. I don't know. I feel like they have ties to the Amish community, but I might. They dress similar. They dress like it have ties to the Amish community. They dress similar. They dress like it's 1850. Yeah. Okay.

That might be why I'm saying that. I don't know if they have actual religious ties. I think, I don't know. I don't know how you. Oh, no. Let's see it. What? Dude, is your boy, am I low?

Are you a Mennonite? Am I low-key a Mennonite? The Mennonites are members I Loki a Mennonite? The Mennonites are members of certain Christian groups belonging to the church communities of... I'm going to botch these words. Of Anabaptist... I don't know if you had this how you say it. Denominations named after Menno Simmons, or Simons, of Friesland, which is today a province of Netherlands. That's your homeland.

Yeah, but we were... I was adopted... I wasn't adopted, but our family was adopted into the name. Hey, same. So I think that I don't have Mennonite blood in me. Okay. Man, 672,000 Mennonites in North America. I don't know anything about them.

All right, there we go. Floyd Landis. There it is. I forgot that he was the one who blew the whistle on the whole thing. He was the only one I remembered. I know that there was many people who accused him, but his name, for whatever reason, was the only one that I could recall. Well, it's probably because he won.

You know, he was kind of set up. I mean, sorry to the cyclist community out there. Well, you're a part of it. You're kind of a leader. As somebody who's currently trying to put together their own team, I would use our money, but I spent it all on the bird dogs out for Golf Channel. I don't know.

I forget where I was going with this. You crushed that. Where were we going with this? that feeling you just had going to be floyd latus was going to be like the kind of next american that took the reins from lance and rode the tour and so for him to like get popped two days after winning it's tough yeah i remember watching that and being like oh cool i can keep watching the tour but now it's like i'm not gonna watch i didn't remember that. Unless I'm in it.

I didn't recall that Lance retired and then came back wearing that 4.5. Yeah. Yeah, he had quite the sponsors on his New Jerseys and stuff. I really enjoyed it. The story about him hunting the guy who had snitched on his coach. The Italian guy? The Italian dude. And just berating him during the race just bullied him basically i mean like that is a psycho move but like i want my uh i want my cycling team to be doing that shit yeah that was bad boy shit i

mean it was kind of dickish obviously but like when i I saw that happen, I was like, man, he is. I mean, MJ would do that shit. Scott Burrell is sitting there like, okay, this guy didn't get it that bad. The great ones, they have to have edge like that. You just have to. If you're going to dominate a sport of other alphas, you have to be like that. Was unaware that Lance had a son playing ball at Rice. Yeah. I feel like Intern Klein should have let us know about that before.

Just saying. I'm not sure what his deal is. Does Lance put out the vibe of a dude who knows nothing about these other sports? Yeah. He's got Rogan-level sports knowledge. It's only specific to his sport and everything else. Dude, if NFL comes up, it's like, man, Walter Payton. That's all he can name.

He's the absolute greatest I clicked on a Joe Rogan clip on YouTube the other day just because it was you know in my suggested feed and it was about the last dance and I was like oh I wouldn't mind hearing Rogan's takes the last dance but then I realized immediately after I clicked it that you said that he knows like nothing about any other sports and like the clip was the least engaging joe rogan clip i've ever seen i was like oh i just watched eight minutes of like joe just nodding along and listening to some other dude talk all he knows about like the nba is that lebron james is like a absolute like freak athlete and like hearing him talk oh freaking lebron james and i'm like dude

that is like maybe one of two current nba players that you could name that's kind of how i feel about myself with the NFL these days because I'm not watching as much NFL as I used to, and I'm seeing people tweet out stuff about their fantasy teams and stuff, and I'm like, who is this dude? Who are these guys on your team putting up numbers? I don't watch it. I don't watch nearly enough.

Overall, though, this was a good – look, they didn't stretch it out i thought two having uh four hours of this was perfect was it four or two four micah said he said that i because i told him i think i kind of wish that there was more and i think i had the last dance syndrome kind of going on i just 10 episodes of that was just phenomenal hey speaking of basketball i have some breaking news if y'all like it yeah what is what is it? According to Woj, the NBA is inviting 22 teams to Orlando, 13 from the Western Conference, 9 from the Eastern Conference, 8 regular season games per team, a play-in for the 8 seeds, July 31st to October 12th.

The NBA is back. Let's go. This is going to be awesome. That's going to be tough. I'm so pumped. When I saw this right before the pod, my first thought was I'm buying some tickets, I'm going to fly tough. I'm so pumped. When I saw this right before the pod, my first thought was, I'm buying some tickets,

I'm going to fly to Orlando and watch this. And then I was like, oh yeah, I can't do that. Dude, the fact that they're all playing in the same spot, that's pretty cool. Yeah. I'm interested in the amenities. Control the environment a little bit.

Is it Disney World, right? I believe so. That sounds right, yeah. Okay. Let's go to Disney World. I had to interject that. I mean, what are they going to say after they win the NBA title? Eight regular season games.

I'm already at Disney World. Going to Disneyland. You can't go from Disney World to Disneyland. That's a big downgrade. We went to Disney World when I was a kid, and then I wanted to go to Disneyland after because I was just a spoiled little brat. And I remember my parents being like, you don't want to go to Disneyland. Disney World is the only place everybody wants to go to Disneyland after because I was just a spoiled little brat. And I remember my parents being like,

you don't want to go to Disneyland. Disney World is the only place everybody wants to go to. And I think that's true, right? Disney World? You wouldn't think that because Disney World is the GOAT. I mean, I don't want to flex too hard, but I've been to both. Disneyland is in a better location. I've never been to either.

Anaheim, right, Callie? Better weather. Sure. Objectively better weather. But somehow I think Disney World is like the one like the i think disneyland was the original dude it's got world in the name but i don't think that me that doesn't mean i believe it was the original i could fuck jamie look it up i don't know i don't know much about either unsurprisingly no no jamie jamie pulling up do you think the homie's ever going to go? If he's into that kind of stuff, I would absolutely love to take him.

He is. That would be my first time to go. Can I go? Sure. Whole squad taking the homie? How much fun would that be? I want to go. Sally's entertained the idea of going with her nieces. And I was like, dude, I will go with your nieces if you guys go.

Yeah, that would be sick. Like, I'm down. Fanny packs, bucket hats, let's go. They serve booze there too, right? And they're always, once a year there's a story about somebody just getting way too, like, sloshed at Disney World. You got to keep the parents happy. Some dad. You got to give the parents a reason to go.

Other than just making their kids happy. Dylan, you're going to get like that. Yeah, other than bringing years and years, maybe even decades of memories to your children. That sounded bad. Dylan's going to blow chunks at Epcot. Yeah, Dylan's just going to be hammered at Epcot. I will not blow chunks at Epcot

because I will not get on any ride that will make that happen. No, but you're going to go to the grease thing and drink some Reiki or whatever it was called. Rocky. And then all of a sudden you're going to be throwing up and we're going to be holding your head over a toilet while the homie's trying to get on the tilt-a-whirl. I missed those pre-dinner Rocky shots, man.

That was so tight. Yeah. Yeah, they are tight. They called me the Greek freak there. I tell you all that? Dude, no one called you that. Because of how much Rocky I was hammering. What is Rocky?

It is a Greek drink. It's a liqueur that they hand out free of charge before every meal, basically. Oh, they do it similarly in Italy. It's tight. It's a little digestive. Yeah. It's Turkey's signature drink. Well, the Greeks ripped it.

Turkey is a place I would like to go. Okay. I feel like Turkey has a lot of like, obviously, historical stuff. That is my cool opinion of the day. I have no concept of like Turkey or anything, but I feel like I'd be very intimidated the entire time I was there. It's in Asia and Europe. A lot of people don't know that. I'm surprised y'all didn't know that.

Kind of tight. When I see people walking by behind us with masks on outside, I'm not judging them, but in my head, I'm surprised y'all didn't know that. Kind of tight. When I see people walking by behind us with masks on outside, I'm not judging them, but in my head I'm like, you don't have to wear the mask right now. Wait until you get inside. No, I'm going to put it on the car guy. When I'm walking into the store, a mask off. I take, I want to go to, I've just Googled Istanbul,

and I want to go to i've just googled istanbul and i want to go uh no one talks about that they had a a pseudo coup about three or four years ago there's some stuff stuff popping over there and it might have been a false flag operation by their um leader maybe we'll just go to the turkey at disney world first and just kind of test the waters. Also, weirdly, the previous leader of that country oddly lives in Pennsylvania now.

Under U.S. protection. There's just a lot going on there. Look into it. It's all out there. That's not like conspiracy. It's just weird. Nobody ever talks about this. Should we step into the conspiracy corner to talk about our next person? Oh, you want to go from Epcot to Epstein? Yep.

Yep. Yep. We're covering a lot in this episode, folks. Oh, yeah, we are. Filthy money. Filthy money. Filthy rich. We got there.

Filthy rich. Epstein documentary on Netflix. Four episodes long. One hour each. Apologies that we haven't told you guys to watch anything Oh if you aren't a patron We're doing a movie club on Patreon every single Tuesday Where we'll be watching a movie that we tell you guys a week in advance Next Tuesday we're doing American Pie

So if you're interested in that Hop on Patreon Do it Sorry we haven't told you guys about epstein or lance we kind of talked about lance last week but yeah uh filthy rich was what it was called yes yes yeah whoa yeah it was a it was a lot man it's pretty disturbing how much did you guys know about epstein leading up to watching this i i had a very base level knowledge of everything that happened. See,

I feel like you guys have completely different experiences with Epstein stuff. I feel like Dylan's got like the base level, like news, what he sees on the news. Yeah. And then I feel like Dave has like surpassed everything and gone like wild theories.

Yeah, no, I, this is the kind of stuff that really captures my attention. And so I know a lot about this. Um, the people I listened to in the, in the radio and podcast industry, shout out to Jake Kemp, uh, friend of the show. He, uh, we should probably have him on to talk about this. Yeah, I kind of wish we would have. I mean, we sometimes text about this, not to name drop. But yeah, so there's a podcast that really, really, really got me into this. Dude, let me in that text group when you start going. Grub Stakers. Okay.

Look up Grub Stakers, G-R-U-B-S-T-A-K-E-R-S, Epstein. I don't know anything about this podcast except for I've listened to one. I've listened to this episode twice, and it's about Epstein, and it's like a year... I don't know anything about this podcast, except for I've listened to one. I've listened to this episode twice, and it's about Epstein, and it's like a year and a half ago. So this is pre-Epstein fake killing himself. Oh, yeah. See?

See? So I went down this wormhole back then, and so when this documentary dropped, I watched it, and I think this was a good documentary. I don't think it was... I think it was important. It gave the actual victims a chance to tell their story.

Because up until now, I feel like the Epstein stuff, people like to joke about it. Like, oh, Epstein didn't kill himself. Like, you know, it's fine. But there's actual victims involved. Yes. So this was really important, telling that story. But it doesn't go super into the weeds on like where does this guy's money come from who is funding him why was he allowed to do this we it talks about he was

allowed to you know skate and have uh probation and work work release 12 hours a day absurd stuff that stuff that is not granted to anybody yeah um Yeah. But it doesn't answer the why. Yeah. So I listened to the Truth and Lies podcast by ABC prior to this because I wanted to learn more about it. You had told me about that podcast. For some reason, I never listened to it, but I will now. And I don't know what the deal is. I don't know if there's any deal between Netflix and the podcast or what. But they had a lot of similar stories.

They told a lot of the victim stories in the podcast, which super interesting because again you didn't know about that right and so once every couple episodes they'd bring in a new victim talk about their experience talk about what they're doing now and it was interesting and this is a selfish knock on the documentary and i assume more people have seen the netflix documentary now, but I wanted the other information from the documentary because I'd already had, uh, I've already heard the victim stories, but spreading the victim stories through Netflix is obviously a great thing. And so if you want, if you want to do more than just scratch the surface of what the Netflix thing did, then there's numerous podcasts and things like that out there that you can, uh, and these aren't crackpot theories either like these are actual evidence-based things that are very interesting and the they might have touched

on some of these things but they didn't go so deep into it that like you got a good feel for the new mexico ranch the island like things like that and there's just so many more layers to it that are just mind-blowing it's mind-blowing in like the amount of important people politicians hollywood um billionaires in business that even after his first conviction where he did the bullshit work release stuff it's still associated with this guy and like weren't really shy about it is is like really really really that's one of the hardest things to come to terms with you're like wait what why would you be going to a dinner like zuckerberg yeah for example um like why would you be going to a dinner with this guy like i know he was a donor of like he donated a lot of money to

science and universities but like you can't you can't be associated with that no for for obvious reasons so it just raises a lot of questions it's very strange um the story man i mean i don't know if we'll ever know who's funding this guy it was if it's us cia it's massad another intelligence but we know we we know from from statements from, what's his name, Acosta, that he was told to back off because he's an intelligence asset. We don't know for who, but you can make your leaps from there. If you want to listen to that podcast, one of the most interesting episodes was one of the victims.

It was her wrestling around the idea of not speaking up because of the trial and things that would occur to her after. And as like a man who doesn't experience this, I was sitting there and I was like, oh, my God, I can't even imagine having to go through a trial like this and have your entire life exposed. Have people attacking like these stories that you're rehashing and trying to get out. And it was just like heartbreaking i had never really uh i had never scratched the surface further than just reading about what i just talked about like the island and things like that and i kind of just knew like oh yeah epstein didn't kill himself like the twitter meme yeah which which like that's a weird thing right because like people does it discredit like the actual uh story or does it raiseredit like the actual story or does it raise awareness?

Like people like saying it, like it's weird. It's like, I don't know if it does more harm than good. And we're, we're guilty of making jokes like that, but it's like at the same time, it's like, this actually happened. This isn't like a crackpot conspiracy theory. They're like, you know, people, when they get into this stuff, like, Oh, it's just conspiracy it's just conspiracy it's like no i mean if you really look at it like this this stuff's out there yeah yeah but yeah this the document was good man it was very strange i wanted to do a follow-up i i because i i kind of thought that i thought that netflix might have some information or some some reporting that they were going to do that was maybe like some breaking groundbreaking new information and so i guess i was just bummed that it wasn't

groundbreaking new information i feel like if you're making a documentary on something like this and uh you're gonna go to netflix with it and not release it independently, you can only go so far. They neuter you a little bit. Yeah, and I don't have any proof of that, but it didn't surprise me that they didn't go into naming actual figures that these people were going around with. His girlfriend that was recruiting girls, was her name Ghislaine? Ghislaine. Ghislaine. Ghislaine, yeah. I've never seen that name before. his girlfriend that was uh recruiting girls just what's her name jazane uh galane or galane galane

yeah who's who i've never seen that i'm not who is an also just a total monster yeah total monster uh also was a guest at uh chelsea clinton's wedding like that's not no she there's photos you can see photos of her sitting in the audience as chelsea clinton walks on the aisle yeah there's just the it's just like, dude, what? Who are these people? How are they running in these circles? They really didn't know what these people were all about? They were involved in a global pedophilia ring?

It's like the one thing that makes me... The misinformation out there about Epstein and everything, the actual information, the unknowns, all of it, it's like one of these situations actual information, the unknowns, all of it. It's like one of these situations where I just can't stop thinking about it. Yeah, you want to pull on the thread and see what happens. Yeah. See who was exposed and how deep this thing goes.

The Prince Andrew thing was kind of the only real one they got into. And they didn't even get into it that far. Yeah. The Prince Andrew episode of the podcast was great. I mean... Clearly, he's a pedophile. And they've pretty much run him... Not run him out of the family, but he has no royal duties anymore.

They're not going to put him in the public eye. And the fact that these dudes were taking... These were like photo ops with the girls, and it's like they hired a professional photographer, and they're taking these photos at times. It's like... There's a photo of Prince... So blatant. There's a photo of so blatant

there's a photo of him with his accuser in epstein's apartment in new york arm around her like on her hip dude which is like that you don't that's a very precarious positioning of a hand on someone you know what i mean like yeah and he his he claimed that it was photoshopped okay he they i don't know who claimed this i don't know if it was him. And he claimed that it was Photoshopped. Okay. I don't know who claimed this. I don't know if it was him. I don't know if it was the royal family.

But they did some kind of expose on, I think, BBC about this. And essentially he said there's no proof that this isn't Photoshopped. It's a picture of a picture. There's no proof that it isn't Photoshopped. Dude, come on, you scumbag. Trash. See that about every picture in existence? There's no proof that it isn't photoshop dude come on scumbag trash see that about every picture in existence there's no proof that it's not photoshopped like she gets someone to like uh come on man come on i'm glad this didn't try to whitewash anything and it doesn't like it wasn't trying to put the epstein narrative uh to bed yeah i mean like if

anything it just raises more questions and like alissa who's like been on kind of the sidelines of me like diving into the story the last couple years and just being like completely baffled by it like she was the one who i i didn't know this was even a thing the documentary yeah she knew about it before me and was watching it and i i just watched it with her um but man i would check it out it's definitely worth watching yeah if you haven't already watched it definitely check it out. It's definitely worth watching. Yeah, if you haven't already watched it, definitely check it out because it's worth watching and worth kind of getting into, and it'll make you raise some questions regarding some figures

that you might have looked up to in the past. Very thought-provoking, yeah. It'll make you, yeah, exactly. It makes you want to know who's involved. And we deserve to know, and now that he's dead, it's probably not going to happen. It's one of those situations where it's like, trust no one. I don't care who you are, what your leaning is, anything.

It's just like, oh. It makes you feel just slimy. Someone who, just because they are as rich as they are and have connections, they can basically get away with heinous crimes like this. The most heinous. and basically get away with heinous crimes like this. The most heinous. It's really upsetting that our justice system is so easily manipulated by money and power.

It's fucked up. Money and power. I mean, at the end of the day, how is he allowed to subvert this apparatus that no one else can? This work-related stuff blatantly violate probation. Blatantly? Like he was out in public in broad daylight. Money is obviously like, okay, that is a huge factor in the criminal justice system. That is only going to take you so far before you have somebody that's in power that has the power to just shut you down.

Look at Harvey Weinstein. Yeah. I don't think he's a billionaire. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Was not able to get around it. What's the difference there. Yeah. I don't think he's a billionaire. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Was not able to get around it. What's the difference there? Yeah. What did Epstein...

Was it a global blackmail? Pedophilia ring? Because that's kind of the thought, right? They allude to it about him having cameras and him having dirt on people that would come stay there. I don't know. It's wild, man. It's very plausible.

Do you guys have any guesses on what Harvey Weinstein's net worth is now versus what it used to be? It used to be $600 million. Now it's $90 million. That's a good guess. Yeah, around there. No, you're overshooting a little bit. You're usually pretty good.

Not the first time. You're pretty good at this, Dave. Well, you know, I'll fuck off. He used to be worth about $300 million. Now he's worth $25. Okay. Man, fuck him. How did Epstein get so rich?

That's also a question. They didn't touch on that very much. I mean, he had power of attorney with the... His name's escaping. Wexler? Yes. Victoria's Secret? He stole like $40 like 40 something million from him so he was a math teacher right math or physics he was a he became a a teacher and this is another weird connection which make of it what you want or what you will um the first school that hired him, the headmaster of that school is our current Attorney General,

Bob Barr's dad. Like, it's just weird, this elite circle. And I'm not saying that there's a connection there. He lied about graduating from that college when he went to. So, he's like this hedge fund guy who just shows up on the scene.

Wall Street, like, I'm telling you dylan you should definitely and will you too if you haven't listened to grub stakers pod yeah you'll love it and it's it's very it's funny and like they get into it and there's good stuff but like just shows up on wall street hedge fund guy with all this money it's like who is this dude and he's like donating to he's tied in with harden or harvard, not James Harden. Alan Dershowitz, you know, big Harvard guy. And it's like it's just very, very, very strange. The Bill Clinton connection, too, was very weird to me.

Yes. About how he said he's never been to the island. But there are people who saw him. They're like, yeah, he was absolutely here. The phone tower guy. Yeah. Yeah. That dude, man.

He had these – The more I think about it, the more they definitely had the ABC people involved with this Netflix series because they interviewed all the exact same people. The guy that was talking about – Phone tower guy was on it. Phone tower guy was on both and he was like, yeah, the second – I knew the exact quote that he was going to say. Sorry, I interrupted.

I'm just thinking. I was going to say it's interesting that – So he had this island and also a ranch in New Mexico randomly, like these very isolated places you get these girls out to. And it's like, there's basically like no escape. You're going to be here until I let you leave. The city in Ohio that Wexner, like, he essentially created that. Yeah. Like, that's.

It seems very intentional that it was very isolated places like that. This is just so creepy. I got you know I got down the wormhole so far that I started watching drone footage of them like sweeping his island house. The FBI was in his island. I remember that. And there's like live drone footage and they're they're holding cardboard boxes up against the windows to like shield the drones from seeing what they're actually doing. I don't think he admitted to it, but you know the thought was that that was John McAfee. You know how he's been on The Run or whatever?

That was John McAfee taking that footage. Really? Yeah. It was all over YouTube, and it was very high quality and very interesting. And it would go to all these different parts of the island. It was shockingly good quality. Yeah, it was a little, I felt a little too voyeuristic watching the footage of them. Like,

they were in this room where his like, all his computer stuff was and you could just see them doing stuff. It was, we should move on. We should just do

an Epstein pod later. Let's try to get Jake to do a live stream tonight. He's got a lot we could talk about. Let's talk about hymns real quick. You guys know that 66% of men start to lose their hair by age 35? Yeah, I know. You know? Well, Dave, I don't know if you also know this,

but once you start noticing thinning hair, it can be too late. Right. Are you aware of that? So whether that hairline is slowly starting to move backwards, you have any bald spots, the best way to prevent more hair loss is to do something about it while you still have some. So why do you guys always turn to weird solutions or do nothing when they can turn to medicine and science? Well, luckily for you guys, we got 4hims.com, a one-stop shop for hair loss, skin care, and sexual wellness for men. It's time to write a new chapter, one in which you have hair.

I've been very lucky, guys.

I've got a full head of hair. I've had a scalp issue happening lately, and I'm getting a little nervous, and I'm starting to think to myself, do I need to start taking this preventatively? Because if my scalp issue starts flaring up, then I'm going to be one of these 66% of men that lose their hair by age 35 that didn't do something about it before they could have. Yeah, man. I understand. You know, get in there before. If Brett was in here, he would say, look, he's already doing it, and Brett's got like the best head of hair in the world, right?

Yeah. Dude, his flow is killing it right now. His flow is killing it. And he's on this stuff. I believe he does the gummies, preventative. Look into it, man. Do it before. If you're in your 20s and you think, it's not gonna happen to me for another 10 years

Dylan, you brought this up on my timeline last night by responding to a tweet. Yeah, so there's a fairly large asteroid that's headed. It's estimated to be between 820 feet and 1,870 feet in, I guess, diameter? Diameter. Yeah, that's the word. Diameter. Diameter, diameter? Diameter. Yeah, that's the word. Diameter. Diameter.

Yeah. Diameter. And it is heading toward Earth. And according to scientists, they do not, quote, unquote, and this is, I should mention, this is from the Daily Star, which feels like a tabloid. A little tabloidy. Tabloidy.

Hopefully this is a. I'm not on that one, Dylan. I'm using a. Okay,. A little tabloidy. Tabloidy. Hopefully this is a – I'm not on that one, Dylan. I'm using – Okay, we should probably read from yours. This one has some questionable information. This one says the asteroid is taller than the Empire State Building and it's closing in on Earth at 11,200 miles per hour. I've never driven – I've never been in a car going above 125.

This seems fast is what I'm saying. Yeah, it does. It does. It's fast. Let me tell you this. Look, I might look like a fool for this in like a year. Don't really worry about this kind of stuff. I feel like we have the technology, and all we have to do is like do a slight tap on an asteroid.

We've seen Armageddon. And it changes the trajectory. Is that all it takes? I mean, just to change its direction, just to shoot it with a missile or some shit? If you get to it, how do you do it, though? How do you...

I don't know. We got Space Force now. Do we have... Are you familiar with Space Force? Yes or no? Yes, I am, but... Do we have the technology to change directions of these things?

And if so, how do we do it? You know what I mean? Right. Dude, that's the question. Why don't we just holler at our alien friends that we know exist and we're like, hey, can you guys do something? Yeah, can y'all just change the direction of this bad boy? One thing I don't like about this is they just have trash names for asteroids.

Yeah. You know what they named this one? It's just called 163348, in parentheses, 2002, and then four. That has no swag. Why not just name it like Jeff? Did Elon Musk name this? Yeah, why don't they name asteroids after humans? Yeah.

That'd be tight if they were like, hey, Dave, you're up for your asteroid. Good. Hey, been waiting. My time. Here's a sentence from this article that I would like to read to you guys. Okay. The asteroid will approach Earth at a distance of 13.25 lunar distance or 0.03425 astronomical units from the sun. This is roughly 5.1 million kilometers or 3.2 million miles away from our planet.

Why not just simplify that? Just throw one number at us. No one knows what lunar distance is or an astronomical unit. No one. You know what they should use to destroy it? It's kind of like an astronomical unit. It's true. It's fairly small, actually, compared to some other shit.

We have the technology to destroy it. You know what we could use? Laser beams? Laser beams. We've seen Armageddon. That's how they they do it they just land on it and didn't they get on there and like frack it they're just getting a producer and then they're gonna blow it up water injection well made it explode uh spoiler alert things didn't go as planned when they were on that big ass rock damn you know i'm saying and then like nicholas cage saved the chemical weapon

from like exploding wow right i don't know it's a different i don't know if that's i don't know And then, like, Nicolas Cage saved the chemical weapon from, like, exploding. Wow. Right? I don't know. It's a different rock. I don't know if that's the – oh, yeah, that's the rock. If you smell – what is it going to do? What is it going to do? Rock?

Can I ask an honest question? This is a rock. I don't want to smell what it's cooking. Let me tell you that. That is a good point. Because it will destroy humanity is what I'm saying. Say this thing hits the dead center of the Atlantic Ocean. We're in trouble.

Yeah, it's a problem. That tidal wave city? Yeah. Wilmonds is going down. No offense. I feel like we're minutes from death if that happens. Minutes. What if it hits a complete opposite side of the world from where we are?

It's still going to fuck us up somehow. Dude, because it's going to throw shit into the atmosphere, probably cause global cooling, block sunlight. My vitamin D is going to be trash. Yeah, it's going to be hard to catch a base. I asked Dylan before the podcast this. If you're going to go, being one of the first to go during getting hit by an asteroid might be kind of ideal in that scenario. If there's an asteroid headed directly for Earth that's undoubtedly going to wipe us out, do you think the government will let us know so we can prepare for it or just keep us blissfully unaware?

The government might not. But there's going to be people out there that I'm not believing on Twitter, and I'm like, yeah, okay. Okay. It's kind of like the first time I heard about coronavirus. I was like, okay, are we worried about this?

Yeah, like these crazy people are just going to let us believe these things. I don't know if they would tell us, but if we were all aware, like if we had, there's a countdown basically to like the earth being wiped out, it'd be a litigation. You're just in the gym just pumping.

I'm not going to work out if I have a month to live. I'm not going to work out. Dylan just dials up the nearest batting cage and is like, hey, how much time can I get? You got to go into the afterlife with pumps. Yeah, that's true. Looking vascular. That's a good point, Dave.

I don't know, man. It's just something to think about, I guess. Yeah, dude. Or not. Like, imagine entering the afterlife puffy and bloated. Couldn't be me. Like, you get there like, dude, have you not been hitting the gym? Like, what's your problem?

Yeah. Kind of letting it rip a little bit there, buddy. Get it under control, dog. man so it's supposed to it's supposed to pass by at a distance of 3.2 million miles which kind of feels like a lot right just buzzing the tower a little bit but but universally speaking i don't do miles as we as i proved when i thought that i had driven my car 20 000 miles already like a week into having it oh yeah that's right i'm an idiot and what did you you driven at what like 200 300 a couple hundred yeah nothing crazy i'm an idiot distance does nothing for me if you put a if you put one of these asteroids in front of me sitting like there and you were like oh it's the size of the empire state building i'd just be like i mean

okay i've told you this is really big i've told you the circumference of the earth right the sure what fritz the circumference of the earth like if you were just walk around the entire earth on the equator okay what is it smart guy take a guess bitch like uh five thousand miles oh you're way low why would you think it's only 5 000 miles i told you that's maybe it's 20 it's i understand now that i think about how big the united states would be to drive across the ad it's a dumb dumb guess it's just under 25 000 miles across circumference there's gonna be like the same thing about brett not knowing about the 30 second thing on the microwave that's just gonna be me like people ripping me for not knowing distance on stuff on like our subreddit i want you to guess like 100 million or something crazy no science a science

stat that my coach my wide receiver coach teacher in seventh grade told us that i don't believe shout out coach mcgill um is that there's enough uh your circulatory system has enough to wrap around the world like twice or something there's no way right no i feel like that's bullshit too like all that shit inside me come on it's not happening that little frame there's no way dude yeah i feel like if yeah if you took me apart piece by piece i'm not going around the world i'm not stretching no no you can't stretch my shit that far yeah i'm not stretching i'm Armstrong. Are you kidding? Are you shitting me? What's up with this volcano? Can you explain?

What is up with this? Should we get Brett in here? There were fears of a volcano. We don't have a mic for him right now. Just take mine. There were fears of a volcano at a national park this past couple days. Luckily, this got dropped into our group text. And luckily, we got some people in there that follow a volcano tracker verified on Twitter.

Well, this says Yellowstone Volcano. Is the Steamboat Geyser activity a sign of a magma buildup? So Yellowstone Steamboat Geyser, which I've never been to Yellowstone. It's on my bucket list. Is Yellowstone just the veiny-faced meme kid? Just waiting to burst? Yeah. Maybe. Their Steamboat Geyser is the world's

largest active geyser, and it has points that have been spewing hot steam some 300 feet in the air since 2018. However, Steamboat runs at its own rhythm in the Norris Geyser Basin, unlike the likes of Old Faithful and Porkchop Geysers, which are linked.

Shout out to Porkchop. Hot liquid. I don't even know what it would mean if there was a magma buildup. If there's a magma buildup, does that mean it's going to blow? Well, a common misconception is that Yellowstone only has explosive eruptions. But lava flows are far more common. The last one of those happened 70,000 years ago. There have been a couple dozen

lava flows since then, and since the most recent large explosion, 631,000 years ago, which is an interesting fact that I can't believe I remembered. Yeah, that was really good. Thank you. Surprised Dylan didn't know that.

Don't you, like, sneaky know, like, a decent amount about volcanoes? No, I mentioned previously that I'm very unafraid of volcanoes. What, you think you can outrun lava? I feel like I have enough warning that it wouldn't be a problem. You're just better than traffic and stuff? Like, you just think that, like, you hop in your car and you can just jet out of town? No, there's going to be hundreds of thousands of other people trying to do the same thing. I just feel like

if I'm by a volcano that's starting to erupt, I'm not going to panic. You're going to climb a tree or something? Hey, let's just get out of here so that we don't burn alive. They say that Yellowstone will give you a lot of warning. Yeah.

Before any significant eruption. And they say that that would just be lava flow. Anyway, very likely. Per Twitter, per USGS Volcanoes, that's the handle. No ads, but check them out. No, we're actually being paid by the National Volcano Service. That would be sick. Yeah, that would be sick.

They deliver volcano updates and info. Tweets do not equal endorsements. Just to be clear. It's in their bio. That's like the most hollow statement ever when I see that in somebody's thing. Yeah, it's not going to remove liability. Yeah, why are you tweeting it?

Social liability. Oh, okay's not going to remove liability. Yeah, why are you tweeting it? Social liability. Oh, okay. I'm going to put... Are people right now... There's no time right now that people are just getting exposed online, and justly so, but is there going to be an influence out there

that's like, hey, dude, I said my tweets aren't endorsements. Yeah, that defense doesn't hold water. No, it's not. That defense doesn't hold water. No, I Googled the equal sign with the line through it. And I copy and pasted it in my bio and I put. Oh, did you not check my bio? Because it's right there. These aren't endorsements.

I don't know. Yeah. Are you more afraid of an asteroid or a volcano? I don't know. Yeah. Are you more afraid of an asteroid or a volcano? As far as natural disasters go, a volcano ranks dead last on my worry chart.

I'm more scared of a volcano because I feel like it's more likely that something could happen with one than an asteroid at this point. But it's such a slow situation. If it's a big... Yeah, that's the problem. Asteroid will wipe us out immediately, right? Yeah, it's like... Yeah., yeah, that's the problem. Asteroid will wipe us out like immediately, right? Yeah, it's like, yeah.

A volcano, that's, I mean, shoots ash up into the atmosphere. It's like just a prolonged like, oh no, what are we going to do? What's the worst volcanic disaster in history? Pompeii maybe? I don't know. That's the one where the- People got- People got-

People got cryo-frozen. Sounds like an 1815. Mount Tambora had a death toll of 71,250,000 plus, regarded as having caused the year without a summer, creating famines across the northern hemisphere. And where was that? Mount Tambora? Off the top of my head,

I would say Mount Tambora is a active strato volcano in the northern part of zimbabwe one of the lesser sunda islands in indonesia sounds like you're reading that no i didn't know it's just all right it's right here i knew where well it's sad for those people but in 1815 you know the technology to see something like that coming and the means to evade, not quite where they are now. Well, this is wild. Like what it looks like now versus what it might have looked like in artist renderings. It's pretty cool. I think I'm going to go down like a very big volcano wormhole today.

I respect volcanoes. Don't get it wrong. I don't think you do. That doesn't sound like you do at all. I big volcano wormhole today. I respect volcanoes. Don't get it wrong. I don't think you do. I don't think you do. You don't respect volcanoes. You just said that you could just get away from one if it just started exploding. One's going to pop off here in a few weeks and Randy's going to have to pull the tape. I hope not.

Look, I hope not. That'll make me look like a jerk. I might already look like a jerk and I'm sorry. You do. Give me a hurricane or a jerk and I'm sorry. You do. But you know, give me a hurricane or a tornado or even an earthquake. I'm more afraid of those.

Okay? And of course, I don't live near a volcano. That probably has a lot to do with it. Yeah, you've got geographical privilege on your side. I do. You should acknowledge that. I acknowledge it. I'm geographically privileged. You got crystal ball in the Gulf right now.

Keep an eye on it. Just saying. Is that the name? That's the name. The tropical system currently forming in the southern Gulf down near the peninsula. Shout out to crystal ball. What peninsula is that where Cancun is? Is that Yucatan?

We really don't know. I always confuse that with the other side. Baja is the other one. Yep.un is. Is that Yucatan? We really don't know. I always confuse that with the other side. Baja is the other one. Yep. Come on, Dave. Yucatan. I've always just liked the word Yucatan. Yucatan. It just kind of rolls off the tongue. Like Udarvish. Yeah, I understand. I don't think Udarvish

and Yucatan are the same. God, I love Udarvish. Man, he really melted down in the playoffs, though, for the Cubbies. Just saying. Why do you got to do that? And the Dodgers. But then again, the Astros were cheating, so. There was a systematic sign-sealing.

Forgot about that. Forgot about that part. The time that they blatantly. Look, we'll go after our own. We're going after your team, too. Oh, yeah, you guys can talk shit. Have the Tigers done anything I can go at them for? Oh, probably.

Just, you know, signing me up. Who was y'all's old manager? Jim Leland. I loved him. Okay, I was going to say, if you start talking poorly about Jim Leland. He just looked like a nice guy. I don't think he was. Oh, really?

No, I mean, he was a brash guy. Okay. I've seen him cry numerous. Anytime we won the division, he would cry. That's what I remember. And that would make me cry. That's what I remember. Yeah, it was tough.

The last time I dipped was after we won the division, and Jim Leland started crying and was all happy, and my buddy and I were like, dude, let's pour a stiff whiskey drink and toss in a dip and just watch these celebrations. Wow. Just a couple of old school ballplayers dipping and drinking whiskey. Next thing we knew I was thrown up in the toilet and I swore it off. I was like, yeah, I can't do that anymore.

Regular Wade Boggs over here. Felt very swag. Uh, you know what one of my new favorite things in the world is? My everyday E25 earbuds from Raycon. I use them daily. Big time shouts to Raycon. Dude, big time shouts. There's nothing more satisfying than when you take your Raycon earbuds out of their little capsule

and all of a sudden it just goes, Raycon. Raycon. It's just like, oh my God. It means it's time to get hype. Dude, it's time to go off. The thing that I like about these, I'm going off script. I haven't even read one piece of copy from this right now. That's bad boy shit.

What I like about these is that they come with a bunch of different little ear settings. So they fit like a million different ears. Yeah. Not a million, but several. If in the past you've had trouble with other brands not fitting your ears, they've got multiple sizes. And that was the problem that I had in the past. I wear the Raycons every day.

Love them. They stay charged. They hold a charge. Charge? Nothing that I've ever experienced. I'm that dude who always forgets to charge them, and I'll find them on the island in the kitchen, and I'm like, oh, these are going to die. I'm going to go take Rainy to the park for an hour, put them in, and I'm that dude who always forgets to charge them, and I'll find them on the island in the kitchen, and I'm like, oh, these are going to die.

I'm going to go take Rainy to the park for an hour, put them in, and I'm good. Next thing you know, I'm listening to a road now. You know these are half the price of any other premium wireless earbuds on the market? The price point is you can't beat it. It's a bomb price point, and what I like about this, too, is that even though it's a lower price, it's a higher quality product, in my opinion. I had to use one that was double the price of these earbuds the other day when mine were dead and I

had forgotten to charge them. And so I was forced to use a different pair. Two seconds into my Peli ride, one just flew out. That never happens with the Raycon. I get great sound, increased bass and a noise isolating fit. It's all about that bass. It's the best. And unlike some of your other

wireless options, Raycon earbuds are both stylish and discreet with no dangling wires or stems to distract you from anyone during video calls. It's just great. Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, Melissa Etheridge, Brandy, they're all obsessed with Raycons. Pick up a pair and see what the hype's all about. Now's the time to get the latest and greatest from Raycon. Get 15% off your order at buyraycon.com slash steam. Again, that's buyraycon.com slash steam for 15% off Raycon wireless earbuds.

B-U-Y-R-A-Y-C-O-N buyraycon.com slash steam. You know what it's time for? This weekend and fun. I don't know. I don't really have much going on this weekend, guys. I'll start, as I usually do. Things are a little bit more normal on the COVID front, I think. I don't know if they're more normal or if they just feel more normal because everything else is going on. I mean, restrictions are loosening. I'm going to step out a little bit for the first time in a while.

Really? I'm going to step out. I am going to first time in a while. Really? I'm going to step out. I am going to my friend's lake house on Saturday. Look at you. Lake house. That's not stepping out. You're just going to a private residence. I'm not going to a concert.

I wish I would have known about this, man. It's not my place to invite you, Dave. Okay. You didn't get a plus one? No, I didn't get a plus one. Actually, yeah, I did. I'm taking Stella. Oh, that's big. She's going to go swimming. That's big. It's going my place to invite you, Dave. Okay. Well, you didn't get a plus one? No, I didn't get a plus one. Actually, yeah, I did. I'm taking Stella. Oh, that's big.

She's going to go swimming. That's big. It's going to be tight. Yeah, it's on Lake Travis, which is my second favorite lake in Austin, but it's a body of water nonetheless. There's only like two lakes in Austin. Yeah, exactly. Okay. I'm excited.

You can see some old high school buddies that I haven't seen in a minute. Catch up with them. I'm pretty pumped about it so that's going on saturday and that is all that i have on the books for now it looks like i'm watching parks this weekend dylan he'll be with his mom don't put that on me dylan didn't invite me um he didn't even write the homie it's messed up i've got've got no plans. I'm maybe going to bring the dog, the Ram Man, over to our friends, the news place, to play with their dog, Barb. I should bring Rosie over.

Barb's great. They earn money with each other. Oh, well, fuck off. All right. Anyway, so I'll probably just be checking Twitter all weekend, so I'll probably just be checking Twitter all weekend hopefully finding some

some good stories keeping apprised of what's going on I check Twitter a lot last night oh my screen time yesterday last night was like I was like man

I love being informed this is like this is great but I was like this this is, it was, it made me like, it was, it was fucking with my mental health so bad. Yeah. Last night I got to the point where I looked at my screen time and I was about double what I normally am, which is concerning considering where I normally am. And I couldn't, I still couldn't put my phone down and I found myself reading things that I didn't need to be reading.

Just reading like the, the toxic stuff out there. Just, you know, like, I don't know. I just got so deep into some Twitter threads that it was just, it became uninformative at some point. Yeah.

No, that's, that's very fair. Um, so yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, David.

No, that's, I'm brought it up. I don't know. You're just going to lake houses and you're just sitting here. It'll be fine, dude. I'm still, I'm still David no that's I'm brought it up I don't know man you're just going to lake houses and you're just sitting here it'll be fine dude I'm still

I can't drink for like 4 or 5 more days and even after that wow dude I know man it's so tough for me how many beers

are you going to cash like day one that is a great question I had that thought cause you don't I mean you've gone long bouts without having

a sip yeah yeah so it'll be 10 days minimum for me you'll be okay my tolerance now is just trash so i'm a little worried about this weekend i hope the people that i'm around aren't like offended if i just like fall asleep at 9 p.m wake up in the morning now I'm going to go into a friend's place in Hunt, Texas. It's on a river. Plan on doing a lot of a lot of chilling. A lot of grilling.

Damn. And outside of that I don't really have any plans. It's going to be very chill sitch. This is the scene of the place where Sally first

traumatized Rosie by trying to get her to swim. Maybe nudged her a little too much in the direction of the river. And I think it scared Rosie a little bit. So I'm hoping that I can undo the damage that was done and do some work with Rosie this weekend and get her to swim. We got all day Friday and all day Saturday. So I'm going to make it happen. I just want her to be able to launch off of something and catch a tennis ball. That's pretty advanced. Yeah, I know.

Like, remember watching that on ESPN? Dude, those dogs are so tight. They would jump like 20 feet. Oh, it's more than that, dog. I don't know if Rosie's going to just start doing that. No, no, I don't think she's going to. They can't really get out there. Yeah, dude, that was a loco.

Yeah. I miss that. You got anything else today, today guys or is that it uh man please follow us on social if you're not I'll plug mine at dcarter rough on twitter and snap at dc rough on instagram I'm gonna be be posting stuff there thank everybody who was checking the analytics on my first swipe up post yesterday checking the numbers huge and man, a lot of you guys at least checked out the link to the GoFundMe I posted. Are you a 10K boy now? Yeah.

Good for you. Yeah. So check it out. It's still up. I'll retweet it if you haven't. But it's basically a black owned store in Minneapolis that got destroyed. And it's a link to that GoFundMe. And thank everybody who clicked it and took the time and even donated.

Thank you so much. That was very nice of you of you very generous i've been trying to put stuff out uh i haven't put much on twitter i've just been kind of taking in the information and hoping to regurgitate it in a way that makes sense for me at some point i did put a link up last night that has a bunch of different resources whether you're trying to donate volunteer protest whatever uh you don't have to have money to do some of these things so if you go there check it out i've been putting a bunch of links up on the sunday scaries uh instagram story the reason i've been using that is just because it reaches more people than putting it on my personal i've been trying to share a few things from my

personal but honestly i've i've been kind of focused on putting it where more people see it and so yeah if you guys have stuff you want to send our way to feel free to do so um yeah no better time than now for me to try to take in some more information about this and teach myself so the more stuff you guys send us the more we can try to help put out some positive stuff and keep things moving in the right direction well said hey run theels 4 just dropped. Oh, shit. Killer Mike LP. Dylan, you would like.

Was this anticipated? I knew it was soon. I didn't know the exact date. Okay. So I will be jumping into that when this pod is done. That sounds nice. That sounds nice. Dude, they were supposed to open for Rage on a number of shows, and I was really looking forward to that.

I'll give it a shot. For sure. The world is not a Rage Against the Machine fan. I feel like I'm just never going to see them in concert at this point. Something always goes wrong. Yes. Something always happens.

I was supposed to go to a Rage show when I was younger and it got cancelled for a different reason. I mean, it got canceled, and I couldn't go. I was supposed to go to Rage in Wu-Tang in 1998, and Wu-Tang dropped off. I still got to see Rage. Maybe that's why I didn't. Oh, never mind.

I didn't even get to see Rage. Whatever. Dylan's having the same issue. Yeah, dude. All right. Let's get out of here, guys. Bye. Bye. Bye. yeah dude alright let's get out of here guys bye bye
