Alright, we're back to circling back podcast. You didn't like that, did you? I didn't like that casual nature of it. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, here we go again Here's the thing. It's a podcast. It's the circling back podcast. In fact, I'm David. Let's think about it Producing over there in his is that a Magnolia? Roback hi Dave. It's a producer Randall Trimbaki. You were a little early on the hi, Dave. Hi, Dave. There it is.

This is, I think, I don't know. Azalea, not Magnolia. It's the master-steamed Azalea Polo. One of multiple color ways, color options. You look like the kind of guy who's gonna go play four holes at Butler Pitchin' Putt and not play the rest because he's fearful of his right miss hitting a car. That's true.

That's the vibe you're putting off today. How are you? Oh, I'm just doing, you know, it's just a Monday. Let's get those, those bad Monday energy vibes out there. Yeah. It's Monday. Well, yeah, dude, you're out of here. What do you mean like out there?

Like you're putting them out there to the listener who's trying to avoid them out here with those. You mean like putting them away? Which one are you? What do you mean? Can we? Like you're putting them out there to the listener who's trying to avoid them out here with those. You mean like putting them away? Which one are you? What do you mean? Can we stuff them in a drawer somewhere? It's up to you guys to decide. I'll let you have the, uh, To choose your own adventure. Yeah, exactly.

Okay. Dylan, can you top that Dylan Shivery? I'm going to, I'm going to do my best, Davey. We had a, uh, as we often do a listener stop by, but, uh, this listener came by. Monday morning before we even recorded, which is a wild move to me. And he had a lot of energy for a Monday morning. Yeah. And I wasn't able to match said energy, but thank you for stopping by, sir.

What was his name? Is his name. You're talking about the guy who came in and just pretty much yammed on you then left. Yeah. He, Eddie, his name's Eddie. I won't, I won't. Shout out to Eddie for his name's Eddie.

I won't, I won't. Shout out Eddie for stopping by, um, Monday at 9 45 ish. He texted me or sorry, DM me last night. He's like, Hey, what's up, man? I'm in town. I think I can come by and get a pic. And I was like, yeah, we'll be there all day. So not thinking like, you're going to come by the

first 30 minutes of office hours. He let me know, um, unsolicitedly that he had unfollowed me on the Grom. It's kind of sick. That was, didn't need to know that. He said a few messages went unanswered and therefore I got the, uh, the unfollow. I'm sorry.

I just don't check all my messages. Dylan said he, he, uh, checks about 20% of the DMs that come his way. The requested DMs. Yeah. Like if you already, if we've already exchanged before, I will check your message, but I don't, I don't always check the requested folder. Yeah. And also what was your other quote?

You said if you're dumping them out in your picture, then I'll check it. I don't think I said that. I think that's I'll check it. I don't think I said that. I think that's exactly what you said. I don't think I said that, but it was nice to have someone stop by and I'm also ready for a fantastic week of podcasting. It is podcast week. I don't know if you mentioned that yet. This podcast week.

I did not mention that yet. Okay. But it's also YouTube week. Yeah. What's YouTube week? I just, I don't listen to a lot of shows. I don't watch a lot of shows. I'm different. Well, let me tell you about that, son. It's a circling back podcast.

It's not just a podcast. It's a visual show, Randy. Randy puts in so much work with the cameras and making sure everything looks good and making sure everything looks good and making sure nobody else can do his job when he leaves. That's not fair to him. Not fair. We could figure it out.

Um, but we need you to go to our YouTube and subscribe. Just hit us with that sub, watch the show, toss it on. Watch a podcast, Hoss. Come on. YouTube.com, so it's circling back. It'll add to your experience. Yeah. I shaved last night. My face. Oh, wow. So you would not know that had you not been watching.

I wouldn't have brought it up otherwise. I got like five comments talking about how sunkissed I look. And I'm like, I know. And now you did it. That's some sun. Now you did it. I didn't get much, I know. And that's the sun. No, you didn't. I didn't get much sun over the weekend. That's too bad. It's pretty overcast. I mean, there's a little bit of sun.

It was just very, it was hot. It was not a great outdoor weekend. A little soupy. We got a swim off yesterday, but no, no sun to speak of. Where'd you swim? This is my place. All right. Yeah.

Like in the bathtub. Yeah. Splish splash. I took. Like in the bathtub. Yeah. Splish splash. I took a swim in my bathtub, man. Shampoo is better. Yeah, that's a good movie. It goes on first and cleans the hair. Parks his favorite movie.

That's great. Does he understand like some of the, uh, you know, the things that the kids talk about in fourth grade, um, quite mature. I'm learning. He knows a lot of stuff. I think that's the, that movie is where I learned what nudie magazine day was. Yeah.

I didn't know what nudie magazine day was before. These days don't even know about nudie magazines. They don't realize how good they got it. They have the miracle of the internet now. Quit looking at me, swan. Yeah, that's also a line from the movie. It's a line from the movie. Conditional is better.

All right, I'll stop. Let's just do impressions. That's what we do here. Hey, check it out. We also do a newsletter. We dropped one Friday. We drop one every Friday morning. It's in your inbox.

You get into work, you start clicking away. Maybe you're going to hammer some spreadies. Well, before you do that, before you hammer the spreadies, you can, uh, peep the newsletter it's on sub stack wash.substack.com. You don't know about spreadsheets. I had to have Brett help me with the spreadsheet on Friday. It was very nice of him. He's good at spreadsheets.

Yeah. That's his, like his, his job pretty much. It's kind of his bread and butter. Yeah, he will. He loves Excel. What else? Oh, wash butter. Yeah. You will. He loves Xcel. What else? Oh, washmedia.shop for some merch. Dylan's track house.

I'll let him talk about it. Go ahead, buddy. Track house every Thursday, two o'clock central. I play golden tea live from here in the stew, but more importantly, you get to chat with the boys. It's a very interactive chat based. It's a visual show. Program.

Yeah. You can't listen to it. We don't put it like in a podcast. Yeah. It's fun. The people who. Yeah. You can't listen to it. We don't put it like in a podcast. Yeah. It's fun. The people who come through, uh, very lively in the chat. Oh yeah.

Check it out. Check it out. Bro, let's go out this weekend. There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off. Bro, there's a crazy event happening. We had the party and it was lit. I got yelled at by a prostitute.

Let's just go have fun and let go of it. David Warfellas, let's go. Recapping this weekend in fun presented by. Let's just go have fun and let go of it. Daily War Trolls, let's go. Recapping this weekend in fun presented by Lucy Dillon, 100% pure nicotine, always tobacco free. Can I talk about my favorite product that Lucy offers? I'd love you to, man. I have a Lippurin right now actually is an eight milligram Lucy breaker and the flavor is apple ice. And I love them so much. I take one right before we record every single day. Lucy breakers or nicotine pouches with an extra surprise.

Yeah. Each pouch holds a capsule that can be broken up and release extra flavor and hydration. I am a basic guy. My favorite flavor. I don't even know if this makes me basic, but it's the one that we say, the mango. I like the mango. Mango's fine. Mango's my favorite. It's real good. That's the one I'm rocking with. I like the gum, but Dylan, you're all in on the breakers. I'm all in on them, man. When do you like to pop it in?

I know you pop one in before you record, but when else? My favorite time to pop one in is after I eat breakfast. I don't know why, just on a full tom tom, just to get the day rolling. It makes me feel fancy. I'm like, I'm going to pop one in. I'm going to pop one in. I'm going to pop one in. I'm going to pop one in is after I eat breakfast. I don't know why, just on a full tom-tom, just to get the day rolling, it makes me feel fantastic. Also after lunch, I'm finding out that on a full stomach is a great time to enjoy one, but also right before I record.

We went, we had a, did happy hour at a little establishment called Vince Young steakhouse. You did happy hour. Happy establishment called Vince young steakhouse. You did happy hour. Happy hour at Vince young steakhouse. What does that get you? They have like, uh, like two or three bucks off cocktails and a couple bucks off beers, that kind of thing.

Oh, appetizers are half off. So pretty good. Little pretty good little situation in there. So you ate dinner there as well. We had, uh, just light, light apps. And then we had dinner afterward at a place called a Reba Baja. It's we weren't there. It's where wax Myrtle used to be.

And it's kind of like, um, an upscale ish Mexican food establishment. And while it was good, I probably won't be going back. Did I can't get past? No one is doing happy hour. Vin Chunks take out. I know it wasn't my call, but it was. I mean, like I have no doubt that it's good. It's just.

Ask me why I won't be going back to this Mexican food establishment, David. Why won't you be going back to this Mexican food establishment, David. Um, why I want you to be going back to the Mexican food establishment that you referenced about, oh, I'd say 90 seconds ago. Do you know how much your boy loves a frozen margarita? I don't order on the rocks. I just don't do it.

I'm a frozen guy through and through. I love them. I feel like you get a better value. They last longer. They're delicious. I love them so much. This place didn't have a frozen Mark. You kidding me?

You can't, you can't go to target and buy a blender and just throw the shit in there and blend it up. What are you doing? What are we doing? Make it make sense. Make it make sense. Oh wait, hold on.

And so that turned me off a little bit. Make it make sense. That turned me off a little bit, Randy. You know, your boy likes a frozen Margarita. Say something, bitch. What did it show you? You asked for it? It makes sense.

Or is it just not on the menu? I looked at the menu and I didn't see it. And I said, you guys have a frozen? And she was like, ah, sorry, we don't do that here. I said, Ooh, sorry, I won't be coming back. Did you really? That's kind of rude. I didn't say that.

She was actually. She was trying to get by. She was lovely. She was a great, a great server. Is she the one that you, you got her Instagram at and sent it out to the group? No, stop. It didn't say that she was actually trying to get by. She was lovely. She was a great, a great server. She the one that you, you got her Instagram at and send it out to the group. It didn't happen. No, no. Make it make sense.

It was a great night. We had, we had fun. It was a great night though. Saturday, big, big day. Parks had a playoff game, second round of the playoffs. They won their first one. We all hung over. No, we kept it in check.

Playoff game in the early afternoon. And we played a really good team. They have two of probably the best pitchers in the league. They throw gas. Relatively speaking for, you know, nine, 10 year olds, they throw gas. They couldn't find the plate man. It was a boring long game. They just, who's the plate man just walk after walk, after walk. Sorry. I think our team got one hit and we we beat them by like, like six runs. Dang, I know they just they couldn't find the zone. And so we were on we're on to the championship, baby. We got championship game on Wednesday. You guys have an invitation to come through if you like,

if you have nothing to do Wednesday, 630. I don't want to like, if I do, if I were to go to a game, I would, I would probably not make my presence known to parks. Just not that like my presence. I just don't want to be like, Oh, Dave's here. I'm he's going to start pricing at the place. The boys are here. Yeah. I don't want to like, yeah.

Yeah. I would, I would be out in the outfield. I would be kind of like an ain't not literally in the outfield, but I'd be, you know, kind of like an angel in the outfield, but I'm not an angel. I'm excited. No angel y'all. You'd be the mysterious dad over an outfield just drinking a beer. Yeah.

I probably, you know what, actually the more I'm thinking about it, I would probably just, I would stand with the crowd. So people didn't get weirded out by my presence. I'm excited, but nervous. I get really anxious when he plays, man. Are you going to keep score? Yeah, I'm the scorekeeper, official. And then we went down around San Marcos way to celebrate my brother-in-law.

He graduated from a physical therapy school. So congrats to Kendall. Really doing big things down there. It was a lovely time with fam. Dude, tell the people at home what you told me about the new, well, what, what now sits. Oh yeah. We went to time spot in San Marcos. We went to Kirby lane for a little just lunch situation.

Actually it was early dinner more, more, more like, and it's at the, um, the old Joe's crab shack location. And if you, and if you know, Texas state, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Sessom road. Sessom it is on it's like prime. It's like maybe the best plot of land in all of San Marcus. It's right there on the river. You make a right from Ocarina Springs. I remember it like when first time I went to visit Texas state, like it was, you make a right onto Sessom and you start going up that hill

and you're like, look over and you're like, whoa. Why is this beautiful Joe's crab shack sitting here on the river? Why is it? Yeah. Why is there beautiful Joe's crab shack sitting here on the river? Why is it? Yeah. Why is there a Joe's crab shack in this prime spot? Yeah. And now it's a, um, curby lane cafe. We had a great time.

Yes. Um, we had just, um, well, Chelsea and parks got sandwiches. I, I wasn't all that hungry. I don't know why I just kind of snacked off of their plates. That's it. That's not, it's not, no, that's not exciting. I don't know why I just kind of snacked off of their plates. That's it. That's not, it's not, no, that's not exciting. I was just curious. Kirby's, Kirby's a controversial spot.

There's Kirby and there's Magnolia in Austin. Yeah. And that's why it's noteworthy to us. Yeah. Sunday we went swimming. Ransomarine. Not in your bathtub. Nope.

We went swimming in a swimming pool. Had a great time. Parks and Chelsea are two peas in a pod, man. They are obsessed with each other and it's really great for Parks' dad to see. And that's that, man. That's my weekend. That's my weekend. Pretty excellent.

Randy. Splish splash. I was taking a bath. Yup. Did you take a bath? No, I did not. in pretty excellent. Randy. Splish splash. I was taking a bath. Uh, no, I did not. If I did take a couple of showers, just cause you know, routine hygiene is good. But, uh, Thursday, like I said, last episode, I went to that candlelight,

uh, Rings like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones quartet string quartet. It was very, very intimate. I very much recommend it to anyone. They do them all over the country that they do different ones. They do like Taylor Swift ones, Coldplay ones, do other things. I highly recommend it as a date night. It would definitely be a good date night. You went solo. I went solo. Because you're Shakir enough with your self. Not only did I go solo, I was at a church and the whole place was pretty packed.

Like there was people everywhere and I was in a pew, a long pew all by myself. So it was very obvious I was solo. Oh, dang. It was so obvious two people commented on it. What'd they say? It was just like, are you here by yourself? Like we're like, because what happened was I was sitting on

the very end of the pew and on the other end of the pew was like a pillar. So you couldn't get in that way. So it was very much like, I kind of like blocked off the whole thing without noticing. You didn't get any sympathy. I do. So what does someone did try hitting on me me and I just, I was like,

I wasn't interested. So I ran away. What did they say? Sympathy phone number. I'm not going to get into it. No, no, no. Let's get into it. Nah, they just want to. Hey, nice mustache, big guy. What Dylan, you're very, what did you think somebody should have jorked them or what? Yeah. Just, you know, like, hey man, jork me in church what? Yeah. Just, you know, like, hey man, go get jorked at the candlelight. A sympathy phone number. This dude is lonely.

Here you go, bud. This is sad. Here's my number. String quartet starts playing Reigns of Castamere, right? He's getting jerked off. Like it's the red wedding. Are you kidding me? Was it Game of Thrones?

It was a half Game of Thrones, half Lord of the Rings. When they, when they started playing Reigns of Castamere though, I'd like, I looked around and make sure we weren't getting locked in. And I was like, you understand the reference Dylan? Red wedding? Yeah, great episode. Yeah. So that was, that was really cool. Friday night. Oh, Friday, but couch. So I'm ready for my new couch for my new place. But

did you go with that black leather one? Yeah, I did. I actually got my tripod too for the camera. But no, I actually went with a doubler recliner has a fold down on the middle thing. It has a fold down table with cup holders. My roommate looked at it and went, that is such a dude couch. I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to be a single dude. Sick, but as comfortable as hell.

So a lot of this weekend was shopping just for the new apartment. But Friday night went out to Barnes Springs saloon with, uh, Dan for his birthday, hung out, Boosh and Gordo. That's where you went last birthday. Didn't that's what he does. I saw a spot. Yeah. Shout out to Dan.

Got some Tommy want we very good chicken wings. Very good. Very expensive. Hungry. There was a right as I was leaving, there was like four cops that pulled people over, I think they might've been drag racing down, uh, south of Mar and then right in front of the place. Dude, that's not a good road.

Active intersection at night. Remember that's where I, uh, like I was wondering, it also could have been, I didn't know exactly what was happening, but like all those cops pulling up. I'm like, is this another Dylan situation? That's where I snarked on the street takeover. Same intersection. Yeah. So there could have been a, it'sed on the street takeover. Same intersection. Yeah.

So there could have been a. It's not a good road to race down. No, it's very, it's a very busy road. Very busy and also just. Construction and people. Yeah, don't race, don't race, but don't, I mean, come on, make it make sense. It could have been a straight like street takeover.

I don't, I don't know exactly what happened, but anyways, and then Saturday more shopping, whatever. And then went to sauce his house and we just had a little get together at his place. And then Sunday was just doing absolutely nothing. We'll hit the pool. It's a lot of just relaxing and shopping this weekend. What else did you shop for?

Uh, I was just going to home goods and stuff, just kind of get an idea of some of the things I might want like end tables and stuff, but until I actually move into a place, I'm not going to get anything, but I just kind of get an idea of some of the things I might want like end tables and stuff. But until I actually move into a place, I'm not going to get anything, but I might get a new table and some bar stools and some chairs. We'll see. We'll see. Very exciting stuff.

Very cool. The life of Randy. This is very much a Will Ferrell talking about like how he's having a nice little Saturday going to Home Depot and everything. It's all right. In old school. It's okay, nice little Saturday, going to Home Depot and everything. It's all right. In old school. It's OK, Randy.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. You had a nice weekend. I was bummed I didn't get that. You know, I had the options and I just I chose to not. I. I just wasn't feeling it. Wasn't that I was in a I wasn't down bad or anything. I was just like, you know what? I mean, so I'll just let me get into mine. Do you mind?

It's nothing exciting. We, we yield our time. Um, I found a Netflix documentary. It's a three parter is about the hunt for you guys. Heard of this guy, Osama bin Laden. Oh, a man hunt. Sounds familiar. I recommend it.

Now the first, first episode leaves a little bit to be desired. Second half of the second one, it really, it gets going and then, you know, it kind of kicks off with, I think one of the stations in Afghanistan, it's depicted in Zero Dark Thirty when one of the station chiefs allows an asset, what they think is an asset, who is a Bin Laden's somebody and they let him in. They think he flipped for the USA for the good guys, pulls in suicide bomber, boom, kills like six CIA employees. It's a pretty seminal part of Zero Dark 30. And then that that kind of ends

episode two and then episode three is like, oh, we found his courier. We know where he's staying in Pakistan. And it's it's very interesting. And it talks like Leon Panetta, some of the players. Okay, I recommend it. I give it. I think I give it my seal of recommendation and approval. I have a double seal. Wow. You got the this gets the double seal. The double seal.

Double seal of approval. How many booms do you give it though? I give it. Oh, not. Come on, Randy. Jesus. Two. This is fuck. Everything's a joke with this guy.

He's a fucking goofy kid, man. A goofy fucker, but we employ him. Wacky Trimbecky. Maybe I'll watch it. You should watch it. It's alright. Oh yeah, Friday, I want a snack run. It's true, he did. He came back for some snacks. I hit Costco.

I was like, why are we not utilizing it? I'm like my Costco men be, um, now I can write it off. No, I look Costco delivers. I didn't, you can get lost in Costco. You can go real hard. We kept it affordable. We got a good amount of snacks. We got some cold brew, got some protein shakes.

I think, I think we did good. I think we give it, I give it a four out of five as far as snack runs go. I might have one. Jerky. You did a good job, Dave. Turkey, jerky and beef jerky. You've come a long way since your Ritz cracker days. Yep.

Cool. Adam respected the Ritz cracker. He was the only one. He was fucking just, he was deleting, he was just dirty, bulking Ritz. And now look at him. He's like powerlifting. Uh, you know, had an eye on the PGA championship. I won't say it was my favorite mage.

It's not, it wasn't. Um, but I was, it's a major and I'm going to dial into it. I'm going to watch a little bit of live from afterward. It's nice Friday night material. Um, Saturday though, Saturday evening, we had a little, uh, live from afterward. It's nice Friday night material. Saturday, though, Saturday evening, we had a little game six in Dallas. Stars jets. And just a proper hockey game, just a clean,

just everything you want in a hockey game, in a game six, an elimination game. They they were calling a lot. In fact, they think they call one penalty, maybe two. And the one was very consequential toward the end that bled into OT. And Thomas Harley gets the game, the series clincher. It was just great. And by the time it ended, you know, you're watching a game like that. You want your team to win it because you don't want to go back to, you don't want to go on the road for a game seven.

It's just, it's too stressful. By that time I was like, man, I really, it was like 10, 15 or so. And I was like, I thought about going out, thought about meeting up with you guys, Randy James's. I just, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it, man. I was, I was done. But I will say there's one thing I have to be critical of this week, uh, for my

weekend. Um, wasn't T ball T ball ended T ball was great. Got a trophy, another trophy. It's good stack and trophy. Yeah. It's crazy. Um, I'm going to be critical of them all. And I'm going to be, I'm going to be critical of them all. And I'm going to be, uh, I'm going to be, I know that wages aren't great. It'd be a little critical of employees of, uh, shoe establishments. I heard about these tariffs, man. Sorry, go ahead. I have heard about the tariffs. Tell me more.

Yeah. Making things expensive. I don't know. I get, yeah. Shoes. I don't know. I really, you know. I have heard about the tariffs. Tell me more. Yeah. Making things expensive. I don't know. Yeah, shoes. I don't know. I really, you know, I kind of tuned out on it. Yeah. You see these eggs?

Yeah, dude. Well, I got in trouble this morning. I ate all the eggs. I was showering and Alyssa got back from dropping off the boys and she knocked on the door. She goes, did you eat all the eggs? I was like, yeah, was that it? I didn't realize it. She's like, yeah, we're out of eggs. Oops. Anyway, not important. No, I just want to say of the established, I walked into three,

I'm just on the, on, in the market for shoes of the five. I walked into three, all had two people working there. No one looked up from their phone when I walked in, no one looks up from everyone's just looking down at their phone employees. No one walked up to me.

Shout out to footlocker. Good, good workers there. No one walked up to me. Shout out to Footlocker. Good workers there. Well, they're referees. They have to always keep an eye on the game. That's fair. That's fair. They're tossing flags. I was just like thinking, I was like, man, I am actively trying to spend money.

I know I'm a generic 40 year old guy. I'm probably not the clientele that they're looking for. They don't think I'm going to go in there. I'm not popping tags, right? I'm not in there, uh, throwing big boys stacks around, but I was looking to spend like, I don't know, anywhere from 75 to a 100 us dollars on a pair of buddy. I know you had it like that.

Nobody does. I walk in and just, I kind of looked at the wall. I'm like, clearly I'm like, um, yeah. Looking at newbies, looking at Nike's looking for, nobody comes over. Nobody looks up on their phone. my clue. I'm like, um, yeah looking at newbies looking at Nike's looking first Nobody comes over. Nobody looks out from their phone.

Why your magazine? You can go get a booze drink. Go get a fucking booze drink and get a picture in front of the cork, man. Like, what are you doing? It's right there. Sorry. I'm just, I'm just upset. Dude. The, so the mall, we talked about the mall coming back.

The mall is back, but it's back with like the people who should be at the mall. Like cool teens. The last thing I want to do is put out the vibe that I'm like doing some kind of influencing at the mall with the cool teens, because then they're going to like out influence me and me me. And I'm going to end up on like, you're going to end up as a shit head Steve. Like, look at this old guy doing a tick tock at the QS ballpark. I'm like, I'm like, I see, I see him out of the corner of my eye recording.

I'm like walking over. I'm like, no, no, no. Look, I've got this thing. I got a podcast. And they're recording and they're like, God, look at this fucking washed ass. And I'm like, well, that's the thing. The company is called Wash Media. It's the point. Yeah. You might've heard of me. No, you haven't haven't. Uh, okay. Anyway, just do better. Do better shoe stores. Footlocker though. You're doing great.

I got the hard sell at Footlocker. So you know, my problem, if I go to a place and I'll try on shoes, I feel bad not buying them. They still wearing the referee get up. Yeah. Fuck yeah, dude. That's their thing. Hello.

They're never changing. Nah. See the referees, but they're, they're shoe salesmen. Yeah. It sets them apart. Of course. Yeah. Is champs not a thing anymore?

I used to be a champs guy back in the day. Man. Dick sporting goods is the end all be all of like sports. Love Dicks. It's. It gets you a glove. It dunks on Academy. Yeah, it definitely slammed on Academy.

Yeah. I don't know what happened to me in the last 30 seconds. Yeah, you had very, very Dick heavy. Calm down, Randy. No, Dick's is good. Where is the closest Dick's though? There's one out in a bee cave. Yeah. The next hill country, hill country, galleria. That's the only one I know of actually. It's galleria time.

Oh, it's one of the domain. There's probably one in the domain. one of the domains. Probably one of the domains. The one there is. Okay. Domain. Okay. Again, not doing the domain, just parking situation. I'm pretty good about parking situations, not bothering me, but that's one where I just, I don't want to be in that parking area.

They got some parking garages. Yeah, I know. I just don't want to, I don't want to park in a garage to go wherever nobody cares, man, nobody cares. Show sponsored by better help. Nobody cares, man. Nobody cares. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Yeah, it is. Mental health awareness is growing Dylan, but there's still progress to be made.

26% of Americans who participated in a recent survey say they have avoided seeking mental health support due to fear of judgment. Can you believe that? Ridiculous.

I think we've all benefited from therapy.

I don't know if you've been following the. 10 inmates who escaped a New Orleans prison. I have very little context. All I've seen is a video of them running out together. All right. Don't don't pull it up yet, Randy. I want to give some context first.

So happened in the middle of the night, just after midnight. These guys have rap sheets, convictions from everything from murder to domestic violence. These are bad guys, some bad dudes. Um, just so they escaped through like a little cutout behind like a toilet. They were able to like jar open a door and get into like the handicap cell. Okay. They were tampering with the door of cell Delta 1006. They tugged and pulled until broke open and snuck into the handicap cell. Then a man squeezed through a small hole in the wall behind a metal toilet. Delta 1006, they tugged and pulled until it broke open and snuck into the handicap cell.

Then a man squeezed through a small hole in the wall behind a metal toilet. Another followed in another. Seven more would make their way through a tiny opening as 10 inmates fled the jail. I think seven are still out there. They've caught a few. If you were leaving, if you're escaping, let's just say you're in this

mint, you're a predicament and you get out, would you leave like a message behind? Would you taunt anyone? Would you talk the corrections officers that with the warden? I'd probably want to leave as little, as little behind as possible. Like, is, is Dylan even still here? Oh, he, okay. He is gone, but we, we wouldn't know that. Except for the fact that he's just not present in the prison

Randy, can you bring up the picture of the hole that they escaped through and you might have to do some zooming Oh my god, yeah, they left some taunts. Um, oh wow That Yeah, they did some drawings. Too easy. Too easy. LOL. Too easy.

Spells incorrectly. Yeah. Too easy. That's okay. There's a we innocent. Oh, it says I'm innocent, but I'm as crossed out. It says we, we innocent. There's a picture of a face with the tongue sticking out.

Yeah, that's tough. That's, that's kind of tough though, man. There's a picture of a face with the tongue sticking out. Yeah. That's tough. That's, that's kind of tough though, man. Um, there's just a S my D. Yeah. Someone is that someone's initials? Like this is, I wrote this part. That's like his John Hancock.

Yeah. Hey, this is me. Hey, yes. I am one of the escapees. They signed the escaping the escape route before they left. They all, they just left their mark and then just went through the tiny little rectangle cutout. Wow.

Well, that's cocky. If you're like, you know, what kind of prison is this? Is it, is that a max? I don't know if it's a max, but dude, it's, I mean, dudes, there must've been a have been a high security prison. That's, this is wild. Well, speech bubble just says, we out. We out.

It's just, it's funny. It's like, you know, you'd think you're trying to get out of there as soon as possible and it's like, you stop and you're like, hold on a second. We're going to leave some, we're going to leave a little message. Let's let them know. Yeah. We out this, we out this bitch. Oh my God.

Wow. So, uh, yeah. Um, too easy. Too easy. LOL. Light work is what I would have written. This was nothing for us. Like, you know what? Not that hard to escape this prison can't hold us down. Are they? Are they? What are they up to since I mean, they're just later laying low that the ones have been found. I mean, it's a fluid situation. Yeah. One guy was found under a park car in a parking garage over off of like bourbon

just out about new Orleans, man. Damn scary stuff. You're bad guys, Randy. Bad guys. Um, yeah, I think they're just trying to put as much distance between them and the prison. Doug, that's what I would try to do. I would try to flee the country maybe, you know? Is it more difficult to escape prison these days? You'd think so, right?

I don't know. I've never been in one. Well, I did do that Alcatraz tour. Yeah, you did do that Alcatraz tour. Yeah, you did do the Alcatraz tour, but I was ever escaped. I was allowed to just walk out because I wasn't an inmate now, but you had to return the headset the headphones and yeah a little recorder you were walking around with. I did. Yeah, that stayed back. Now this I don't really I don't talk about it much and I got, I got pardoned for it, but I, reminds me of the time I was, I was staying in prison. Uh huh. And, uh, I had to crawl out through, uh, through the pipes, through the sewage.

Really? Yeah. It's fucking gross. It stunk. The whole thing stunk. I did a stint actually many, many years ago. And my cellmate had syphilis. Not eradicated as I've come to learn.

Yeah, he had syphilis and I was like, Ooh, stay back buddy. You know, cause it can, it can kill you, you know? Famous gangster. Who was it? I don't remember. Hmm. I don't remember. They got him on tax evasion, right?

Yeah. When I was in prison, there was this this famous football quarterback that got also he got imprisoned and then they were doing this game between the like the inmates and the officers and like all these like they they used to be like old college football guys and the warden put it on. I tried to offer the team. I didn't make it though. Stone cold Steve Austin was there. I think. Yeah. This is the one I'm thinking. I made a hundred percent make the team.

I didn't make the team. What position? Running back. I didn't. What position try out for though. I tried for the kicker. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. They put the guy in that. Couldn't even kick it like two feet. Yeah. Okay. You must have been terrible then. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, man. I didn't know that it like two feet. Yeah. Okay. You must've been terrible then. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, man. I didn't know that you're in jail. They tried putting me out of the cheerleading squad.

Okay. I said, I'll just watch from the stands. Tracy Morgan, if I recall. Yeah. When I got out, I got a job at the grocery store and, um, it just wasn't for me. Life wasn't for you. Time had passed me by. I feel like you didn't belong.

No. It was fucking real sad. I'm sorry, man. Honestly, like kind of a real bummer. Yeah. Yeah. Somehow I was like the saddest part of the movie. You missed your squad. Absolutely. The saddest part of that movie. Yeah.

It's almost like right before I got caught, I like went up North and was like just working at a Cinnabon going to take it back to the mall for like, for like years. Yeah. And then eventually my bad ways got caught up to me and I got caught and put in jail. It was a good Cinnabon for a while.

I managed to shit out of it. You got to think Cinnabon's on the list of places that would get real old to work out for a long time, just cause that scent is so overwhelming. It's a good scent for a while. But then you try hard not just not to eat that shit every day. Yeah. It's just awful for you. It reminds me of my time as a sandwich artist.

And I just started to loathe and detest the smell of bread. Yeah. Which we famously ran out of one time. Not met, not my shift. My shift didn't forget to make the bread. Yeah. You were still left off the sketch. I was, that was for unrelated matters.

Me just general apathy, but I did get the call and it was that we have no bread. That ain't my fault. Oh, it's tough. Tough. It looks like we're going to have to go, uh, push the keto thing or something. Oh, this is pre-keto. Yeah. Pre- pre keto. Yeah. Pre keto.

Yeah. You ain't on it. You ain't on it. Shout out to Anita. What's this barbecue situation you got here, Dave? No, Dylan's moving on. I feel like a natural segue time. Don't make a segue joke.

I'm talking about like a segue. Talking about the mall. Did you see any segue cops? There you go. See what you went. You took it there. Paul Blart style. Somebody messaged us about, uh, did you get this met?

Yeah, you were on there. It was a tweet. It was like, yo in Austin. Yeah. Can't go to Terry Black's or Franklin's, which I've got questions. Was he banned? I get not going to Franklin's cause nobody's, nobody wants to deal with that line. But he was just like, not doing this, not doing this.

And I was like, uh, yeah, that, that part is confusing. I wonder if he went too hard at Terry Black's one time. Like you can't come back, dude. Maybe he was banking on the, the line there, like we talked about, moves very fast. Yeah. So I wanted to just put this out there in the world. Cause I thought we gave him some sound advice.

Um, you hit me with the no notes. So I figured you co-signed. Yeah. Uh, so no Terry Black, no Franklin's you're in Austin. Let's say you're, you've got time, right? Yeah. Uh, if you don't have time, Terry blacks is like the place to go. But Terry blacks, if you can get to Terry black now on a Saturday, I want to say,

I would say probably 11 is the latest. Lay it, look, you're going to have to wait in a line and that line moves very efficiently, but you still, I'm just saying parking and waiting in line. Those are two things you're going to have an issue on a nice Saturday. That place is busting out the seams, man. Yeah. It is very crowded. Yeah.

Very crowded. Um, that being said, if those aren't on your list, you could try La Barbecue just on the East side. Problem is they got all Michelin start up, I believe, or at least a mention. That place is slammed. That place is excellent. It is very good. It's, it's right there with anything I've ever had.

That was a listen. I would get that quite a bit back in the day. And now it's like, not really, not really trying to deal with that, that whole scene. So Interstellar is another one that got some Michelin love. Yeah. Interstellar is a glaring omission on my resume.

I've never been to Interstellar, but I've heard wonderful things about it. Obviously it's very highly regarded. Leroy and Lewis. Randy's a huge fan. They're known for the burger, but the brisket and everything else is pretty good too. I tried their cor, their hog fat cornbread too, Leroy and Lewis. Randy's a huge fan. They're known for the burger, but the brisket and everything else is pretty good too.

I tried their cor- their hog fat cornbread too. Last time with Dan, it was really good. Did you ever try that? Cornbread? Yeah. It's, it's black. It's not like yellow. It's like a black cornbread, but it's really good.

Did no such a thing exist. Yeah. It comes to like a strawberry butter. It's very, it's very interesting. But Leroy and Lewis, even their barbecue line moves pretty fast. Like if you want a burger, you can walk up to the bar and order it and have the burger in your hands and like five, seven minutes. But the bar, the barbecue actually goes pretty fast too.

Now that brick and mortar. I'm going to give some love in place down the street from here. Browns. Has anybody actually been to Corner Bar? I've been to Corner Bar a couple of times. So it's right. It's a truck. It's like walking distance.

It's a, it's like a four minute walk from our office. Did you know that on, I think it's Sunday from like, when it opened to like two or something like that, they have free Brown's barbecue, if you are drinking at corner bar, something like that. All the more reason to drink heavily. Brown's barbecue is good. And it's not, it's not priced like these other Austin barbecue joints where you're going to leave after you're spending, you know, 80 bucks.

It feels like next up to blow up. They don't have a brick and mortar. It's just the truck, but you can eat at the picnic tables or at corner bar, like we said. But it's one of those places where it's like, no one really, no one talks about it outside of us really, and it's like right there and it's, you're never going to have a big line.

Um, nice folks over there too. Nice folks. I never actually had their like straight up barbecue because they, a lot of things they do is the wraps and their sandwiches, but they, like last time I was there, I saw someone get a whole plate of barbecue. So I might want to do that sometimes. Yeah. They do a brisket sausage wrap that's seven bucks and it'll fill you up and

it's delicious. Might be a little fatty for Wendy though. That sandwich was really good. It was really fatty, but it was really good. Uh, but I do remember I was getting lunch there one time and like, I think there was going to be a U S soccer game or something like that for the world cup. And it was going to be early in the morning and they were going to open up early to do breakfast, uh, tacos at corner bar too.

So sometimes they'll just like get up early for like certain things. Cause corner bar has a lot of TVs. So that's always out there too. So sometimes I'll just like get up early for like certain things because corner bar has a lot of TVs. So that's always out there too. Okay. Um, I recommend Terry blacks really Ryan Lewis as far as ease of getting in and out and really good food. It's pretty wild. Like Rogan, I won't say he ruined Terry blacks, but like he posted there one

time and now in that place double their business. It's pretty crazy. He did the same with KGB BBQ as well. Is that the Egyptian place? Yeah. I still haven't tried that. That's a really good one. I've from everything I've heard.

I've had it either. Yeah. He mentioned it in the line is crazy now. Speaking of crazy now, what's Joe Exotic up to? Ooh, our good friend, Joe Exotic. You know, he's in prison. Randy, there's a. I got the link.

Hold on, hold on. Let's just, let's read his first post. He found love in prison. That's beautiful. However, he posted a photo with his boyfriend, Jorge. Says they've officially taken him to an iced attention center for his hearing to either stay in America or go back to Mexico. I just realized that Jorge has a dope Joe

exotic tattoo on his forearm and it says exotic on his hand. That's sick. That is sick. He said, uh, he tagged the hand. That's sick. That is sick. He said, uh, he tagged the president. He's looking for that. Uh, he's looking for help. Says my parents are now my parents and now this I've suffered enough.

It's time to watch season two of tiger King and see they admitted on world television. Uh, they committed perjury to let me go. It's not the best worded post, but what's interesting, what's notable about this post, not just, not just talking about Tiger King. We could argue if Tiger King was really that good or if we were just locked down with COVID in like week two of the shutdown and we needed something. I think it was, I think it still would have been good. I didn't even know, did I forget there was a season two? I definitely didn't watch.

We didn't watch. Yeah. You can just post to Instagram from prison. It appears so, yeah. It appears so. Yeah. That's so. Get you a burner or just maybe you get for good behavior, you get a cell phone.

You get a little computer time in the lab. Yeah. Maybe a little computer time in the lab. For good behave. For good behave. It plays, I mean, he's, he's Joe exotic. You know, his posts are going to do numbers. Although this one, anyway, uh, I think Jorge though left him with a little parting gift.

A beautiful parting gift. Let's read it. It says, I forgot to show you what Jorge left me. This one did more numbers for some reason. It says he left him something to remember him by. And Randy, if you don't mind. I kind of do mind. Look at his hashtag. He hashtag love romantic, love you memes, if you don't mind. I kind of do mind. Look at his hashtag. He has tag love romantic, love you memes, memes, daily funny moments. What is that? So he doesn't clarify what this image is of, but it would appear.

Again, it would appear. I got to take this off my screen. It's just too much. That, um, Jorge left Joe exotic but whole prints. I'm sorry. These look like, I don't even know how you get but whole prints like this. Yeah.

The logistically, I don't know how this is possible. Those are but holes. This one's like in a little heart. I don't know how you would do this. All right. So I don't want to put you on the spot. Oh my god. This is disgusting. I get off the screen I'm gonna ask both you guys have been in relationships before have you ever showed your love in this way? I Have not no this has never crossed my mind. Actually, I don't know how one would accomplish

Getting their butthole prints onto a piece of paper one would accomplish getting their butthole prints onto a piece of paper. Would this be, let's say you found your person and your person was going to go away and you realize this is goodbye. Would this be the way you would want to remember them? I don't think so. Why not? What's more personal than a butthole print? them. I don't think so. Why not? It's more personal than a butthole print. Cannot have done just like the classic just lips on a, you know, lip, the lip thing. Well,

I mean, lip, mouth, lips, mouth, lips. I don't know. I, but I, I, you guys are being hyper critical and I just, I help two people, two consenting adults choose to express their love behind closed doors consensually. Who am I to judge that? So you guys are being the judges. So why don't you guys criticize it some more. Love is love. I mean, it's just more, I'm just, I'm interested in how this can, is there a chance it is just regular lips? I just don't know. No, I don't know. Do that without like folding it.

It's a full circle. Here's the deal. This did about five times the numbers. His other posts did Joe's back. Joe's back in the game. Now he's not still not doing big boy numbers, but the shares on this thing are serious. He's got the content gene.

We know that he definitely does. Does this, okay. Does this make it more or less likely for him to get the Trump pardon? That's probably not going to help his case too much. You know, I wouldn't think, you know, they might get them on the POTUS radar though. Like, Hey Prez, you see this man? You see what Joe exotic is up to in prison. His lover got detained and it. And this is what he left him. Make of it what you will. Randy, is this what the kids are doing?

I know. You're the young guy. I don't think this is what the kids are doing. As far as I know, this is not what the kids are doing, but maybe, maybe it's the next big TikTok trend. I don't really see how this is possible. The paper would have to be really crinkled up. Yeah. This is a clean sheet of paper.

You know what I mean? Like you'd have to like, like stop it. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. You understand? Remember in like the eighties and nineties

when like the funny thing you could do was fill your butt, your bare butt, bare bottom on the copier. Oh yeah. I've never done that. That's what people used to do that. That's classic hijinks, man. They're like, dude, that is hilarious.

You are going to be talking to HR. Yeah. Imagine doing this. No, no, I can't. I don't want to, frankly. You know, uh, it's beautiful love story. Hope they can reunite at some point. That's sad.

They're in love. Why are they? Whatever. What they ought to do is break into a handicap cell. Yeah. And leave these around the whole. Yeah, exactly right. The irony of that.

That's Jorge. Oh, that's his calling card. Jorge's gone. We all know it. Old Johnny butthole print or Jorge butthole print. Spelled too easy, lol. But the O's are his butthole rings. But how did this not get more attention?

Like this should have made the national news. This should have been on this. This got attention on Twitter, man. I saw it getting passed around a little bit. This should have been on. This is on Twitter, man. I saw it getting passed around a little bit. God, this is disgusting. I'm going to X out of this. Yeah.

And he could take it off the screen. I said it was a visual show. If you, if you, if you minimize the window for that, I get it. That's a little too visual. Look at those two guys. Jorge looks like a good looking dude. Yeah.

Zoom in on that tat or would that be like a, there we go. Honestly, if he got that in prison, that's good work. That's what I'm saying for like prison quality. That's excellent. Oh, even got the exotic on the hand. Is that a Budweiser King of Beers? There's no way that's a Budweiser crown on his knuckle. Maybe he's a Latin King. Is that one of the gang? Oh, that could be it gang that is a gang? Well, maybe that's what that means. Dylan's really flexing his knowledge of the streets.

Latin king tattoo. Let's see. Oh, you're definitely going to get a visit. That that's what that means. I'm seeing it on fingers. Good for you, Slime King. Yeah. Good for you. Sure. It's just not the king of beers. I'm not sure. No, dude. Oh, man. There's the ideas, Lion King. Yeah. Good for you. You sure it's just not the King of Beers? I'm not sure, no.

Dude, they're, oh man. There's some guy in the Midwest with the King of Beers similar tattoo on his hand that's about to get a visit from ICE. Oh yeah. Sick. Has anyone ever liked Budweiser enough to get a Budweiser tat?

I guess maybe the Clydesdales. Yes. Clydesdales will be a sick tat. Oh yeah. Right. Great. Some of the greatest Superbowl commercials ever. He's not wrong. I'm just looking at Budweiser tattoos. Yeah. You should have known. Let me just look at all these.

Man, you got to really love a product. What would be the worst beer to get tatted on? Blue Moon. Oh yeah. Randy will get a Blue Moon tat. Randy, what are the what are the odds you get a Blue Moon tat? I mean, I just don't think it's there. It looks very similar. The same. It really does. That's fair to Budweiser. It does.

Yeah, I mean, I talked about this a little bit earlier, so I won't go into too much detail here, but Parks and his team, they had a nice little dub on Saturday against a very good team.

Couldn't find the strike zone, like I mentioned that part sucked. But yeah, they're on to the championship championship game Wednesday. Parks is he's got a little cold at the plate. Getting walked a lot, like I said, but he's he's not mashing it like he was a few weeks ago. I tweaked the swing a little bit and I think I think it's going to help. He pitched a little bit recently, didn't pitch in the playoffs. He pitched in the last game of the regular season.

He got tuned up. I don't know. Here's the thing about this game on Wednesday. It's a full six innings and that the most they've gone so far is four. So they have like a, an hour and a half time limit, right? You can't start an inning after an hour and a half. Uh, you know, the kids, but this is a full six innings. So we're talking, it starts at six 30 on Wednesday night.

And so we're talking, it's gonna be a two hour ball game. Parks might, he might pitch in the championship if they run out of arms. He's gotta be ready. He throw, he throw a kid out there. He can't find the zone. You got to pull them, man. You guys get next man, next man up short leash. We have, we have a deep, a pretty deep pitching staff. And I think that that bodes well for this format.

Like I said, long game. Uh, the other team is 12 and one. They are the number one overall seed and they've earned it. It's a good, it's a good team. Do you run up against any, um, famous athletes, kids in this particular league? Cause I know that's a thing around all famous, famous being like maybe locally, maybe XUT guys or just, you know what I mean? Or is that more like a West Lake, Lake Travis thing? that's a thing around famous being like maybe locally, maybe XUT guys or just, you know what I mean?

Or is that more like a Westlake Lake Travis thing? That's definitely a Westlake Lake Travis thing. I'm not that I'm aware. I mean, it's possible, but I'm not aware of any former big leaguers kids being in this league. Okay. But man, I'm, I'm, I'm equally excited and anxious about this game. I just want parks to do well, man.

Last, last game of the season, I want them to finish with, you know, get, get a couple of knocks. Let's get a couple of knocks, man. Get on base. Let's score some runs. Um, I'm going to be an absolute mess on Wednesday evening. I just am. I'm excited.

What's the celebration going to be? Cause I think they're going to take it. I really do. Dude, they got a shot. This team's good though. This team's real good. They got a shot, man. And he given Wednesday.

If we can throw strikes and lately we have been, we got, we got a good shot. So is it too close? Like are we at the point where we need to just let Parks, um, go out there? Cause I'm going to assume he's going to get some, some reps on the mound. I have a couple of open spots at the Academy. You do. I don't want to tinker with it too much right before

a potential outing, but. Yeah. Mechanic wise, he looks good. Yeah. I think it's all up here right now. It's just him got to get more. It's just got to get more reps. When he pitches, he doesn't throw as

hard as I know he can. It's like, he's, he's just, he's just trying to find the zone and he takes a little bit off of it and like, dude, just fire it in there, man. Just fire it. Don't aim it. This is what I tell him. I said, don't aim it, throw it. Which is what my coaches used to tell me growing up when I pitched don't aim it. You aim it, you start to, you know, you miss because you don't want to do that.

You want to be a free, a free thrower up there. Uh, batting wise, I get them tips before the game in the first half of the game. to you know you miss because you don't want to do that you want to be a free a free thrower up there uh batting wise i i give them tips before the game and in batting practice but but game time i say when you're up there man just just fucking swing dumb question are they allowed to bunt i don't know it's probably i remember i remember my little league because when i was about his age it was was like, I don't think you're supposed to, I think you could bump, but like if you bunted, I was like, what are you doing? Yeah. It was like, kind of like frown upon.

I've never seen a bunt in this league. There was an infield fly rule in effect. Oh yeah. To blow people's minds. On Saturday and they called it and I was scorekeeper. I knew what was going on. I'm a baseball guy. I understand the role, but the parents in the stands were just, they couldn't wrap their heads around why the batter was automatically out for hitting a pop fly.

Make it make sense. And I had to, I had to explain it to like five different parents in the stands. It was really funny. Some real non-ball-hours. Wait, why? Like, well, you know, theoretically less than two outs and there's a force out.

Theoretically an infielder can intentionally drop a fly ball and then boom, boom, get two forced outs to get a double play. Um, and they were like, okay. So it's like, and like, and theoretically, like it makes sense, you know, at this level, they're not going to do that, but that's what the call is. Have you had to explain like the drop third strike or anything, anything? Uh, just drop, drop third strike does not apply in this league. Okay. Um, no head first slides. They have, they have some rules on it.

They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. They have a lot of rules on it. Have you had to explain like the drop third strike or anything? Anything, uh, Just drop, drop third strike does not apply in this league. Okay. Um, no head first slides. They have some rules like that. I mean, if, if drop third strike, if you could take off, that would be a problem in this league because the catchers are not exactly, uh, advanced.

Yeah. I could, I could see that. But I'll give the full update later on this week. Let you guys know how the team does, how parks did in the championship, but they're ready, the squad's playing well, man. I'm looking forward to it. All right. Yeah.

All right. Uh, anything else? Uh, we can run it back. Knock this, knock this thing out real quick. If you guys want, let's run it back. Of course, that's the segment during which we talk about what we already talked about. Eddie, the listener unfollowed your boy on the Grom. And he told me in person here this morning.

Shout out to Eddie. Shout out to Eddie and shout out to the old San Marcus Joe's Crab Shack. Fantastic spot. Randy did not get jorked at the cantaloupe nerd thing he went to. Sorry, buddy. Well, I never said that I didn't. Cool Adam used to dirty bulk Ritz crackers here in the office. It's carbs.

The roughs are out of eggs. Somebody's in trouble. Somebody's going to be shutting down the cork tonight because he ate all the eggs. It's me. Go home to her, David. Go make up with her. Go home, pick up a dozen eggs. Pick up a dozen eggs.

And finally we're doing hog fat cornbread with strawberry jam, which I'm intrigued by. Let's say. Hog fat cornbread. Hog fat cornbread. That's a dirty ball. It was strawberry butter. So it's like a butter and that has like little

slices of strawberry on top of it. It sounds like the richest bread you can eat. That's what you give your kid. You're trying to put some weight on for football season? Try to move them over to the line. Give them some hog fat cornbread. Had some flakes of salt. You got to fatten you up boy.

It was good. And that concludes, run it back. As opposed to my buddy, uh, they were trying to move from tight end to O line and they were just like, you got to eat peanut buttered syrup. There's this, there's this kid in my high school who was just really skinny football. He played football receiver and he like one summer he came back.

He's like, dude, I eat cheeseburgers all summer long. He just bulk up. He didn't, you know, he was still just a bean pole. It was funny though. That's great. Just went to town on bergs. Yeah. I wonder if my buddy regrets that because like he was, he was kind of like tall.

He was a tight end. He was tall, good shape, ripped up. And then they're like, we're going to move you over to tackle. Like, all right. So he just bolt like dirty bolt. They were like, eat everything this summer. And he put on like a bunch of bad weight and like, I don't even think he made it at time, I think they moved him back to tight end.

It was like, so he just put on this shit weight. It's not like he had, he wasn't going to play in college. He just, he just tanked his junior year. Just got fat. To like, yeah, we needed depth at tackle. Yeah. I don't know if that's worth it.

No, it wasn't. I got disgusting. It's soft. He got soft, probably felt like shit. I got mush body just because my coach wanted me to put mass on. Yeah. He put on like probably 25 pounds. Chicks wanted nothing to do with me.

Yeah. I was like, Ooh, that's funny. Shout out to him though, and his family. All right. Fun episode guys. Fun episode. Uh, check us out on Patreon. Didn't mention it off the top, but you can, uh,

What do we got going tomorrow, Randy? Circling Back on Touching Base. Oh, which, which, uh, I don't know. I know one of them is going to be Micah's airing of Grievances. I don't know what the second one is going to be. I could just make the whole thing that one. It's kind of a long segment, but definitely it's pretty funny.

If you're new here, that means we had a other show called Touching Bass before this and we got some classic audio. So we like to riff on it, listen to it, talk about where we were, you know, where we were with the show back then, kind of where we were in our lives back then. It's fun. It's a lot of fun.
