All right, we're back. Wednesday morning, Circling Back podcast, live on YouTube. What's up, chat? I had some doubters in here that said, there's no way, there's no way you can make it to the bathroom back before the show starts. Maybe a little bit over a minute.

Well, I told them, I was like, look, this is just a, this is just to make sure that all the leaks are accounted for and what do you know i'm here 108 i'm dave one minute eight seconds you decided to leave the studio you got back with i believe nine seconds left on the clock just under a minute that's pretty good 60 seconds to piss it the bathroom is probably 20 paces away no 15 paces away i'll walk it off after the show okay that's that those are good numbers i can't be that fast i spilled coffee on my shirt

I pee like an old man now. It's because I drank the, I opted for the 20-ounce, uh, cold-brew coffee from Lifetime, which I love their cold brew. I don't know what good good one. They've got great cold brew. My name is Dave at DC Rough on Instagram.

Matt D. Carter Rough on Twitter. Uh, Raynold Trumbacky is going to produce the show today. Hi, Hi, Dave. Hi. Minute to Piss it would be a terrible game show. Paulo and I would probably not, uh,

like that one. You ever watch this show? What's the show? Minute to win it. Ah, and I'm familiar. Yeah. I'm going to use my intro to give a major shout out. You're talking about a former Olympian?

Yeah. Apollo Anton Ono? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to give a shout out to a backer that I saw at the grocery store yesterday that Dayton, shouts to you. Completely caught me off guard, so much so that was in my own little world. And I break the interaction.

What did you put? Walk us through it. I was in my own little world. I was taking my car, cart back to my car. And then, like, he just, like, looks at me points and then points to his shirt. He's wearing a circling back shirt. No way. I'm like, oh, shit.

Like, okay, cool. And I shook his hand. I'm pretty sure what I said was, thanks for stopping by. Okay. That could have gone much worse. Which shirt was it? Do you know? I don't know.

I'm not really sure. I think it was maybe the big catcher. Definitely had just a little circling back old school logo right there. But shall see you, Dayton. I like the I like the Instagram memes, the reels that are like what you sound like

or what you say when you're walking by somebody and they compliment your shirt and you just like when somebody catches you off guard there's a gym one too and it's perfect. It's when like somebody walks by and they're like, hey are you using that

and you got headphones and you're like, oh no you're good man. I think about it all the time. The problem I have with that is if like a hand gesture. How do you hand gesture, like either no, I'm not using it or yes,

I am. So let's do the interaction. You have to, you need the vocals. So I'm sitting here and I'm using, there's like a bench. You're standing next to a machine.

You're not using it. I'm walking up. I'm like, hey. Hold on. I'm doing the neck machine. And I go, I point and I sing. I'll mouth,

all you. I'll go all you. Now you are using it. Hey, are you? That requires me popping out of head and I'll go, I just got like one more set. That's the thing. I'm getting, I'm getting the pumps over here.

I have made the mistake before where I say, are you using this? And they said, they give me like a like a thumbs up like, yeah. And I'm like, oh, I'm good to go. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm like, okay, I'm a total idiot. I'm sorry. Yeah. It's not comfortable.

We get through it, though. And they sell, um, boiled slonks at the Lifetime Cafe. You ever buy them? No. You should. But they do. Yeah, you're right. No, I miss that cafe.

I don't. Not because of the slonks. It just had good stuff. Yeah, no, I can't say I've ever gone out of my way to purchase boiled slonks. There is an upcharge, of course, when you don't boil them yourself and they do it for you. But it's not too bad. It's a tax. Yeah, like, we did the boiling.

We do the boiling for you, Dylan Schuiver. Pretty happy to be here today. I'm not wearing a hat. It's the first time in a long time. time. I don't know, so I'm taking monoxide. I don't know if it's working yet, but I feel like it is. And this is me like stepping out and being like, here's my shit, check it out. I don't know. Just going with it. How long have you been taking it? Five months. How long have you been taking it? You're supposed to notice after six? No, it's been four months. Four and a half. It's been four and a half months.

you're doing it orally yes okay i would like to think something's happening up there i don't know i don't need it would be like you know let me know it's how it looks but yeah i mean it doesn't look it's it looks the same to me but i never really thought your hair looked you're the one who notices it yeah you and maybe cha cha cha because like me i i A, you wear a hat most of the time I'm around you. B, I'm never really looking at your hair unless it's like all twirled up because you sit at your desk and twirl your hair. I do. But that's the only time I'm looking at your hair, really.

You know, I've done that my entire life. I can't stop. Yeah, it checks out. Everybody has their little. A few times throughout my life, I've buzzed my head and I'll just, I'll reach for my hair. I'm like, oh, fuck, it's not there. And I thought that would give me over my habit. It didn't.

Just keep reaching for it. I'm not even thinking. I used to. I don't know when I stopped. I used to twirl right here a lot. Yeah. I can't. It's just,

I don't know, man. Something about it. This is big. You're stepping out. It's soothing to me, I guess. You're showing off the head.

I'm showing the head game crazy right now. Chad, do you like his head? Let him know. Actually, someone before even Dylan said that, Cactus meteor said, Dylan going no hat today.

Looking good. Oh, that was, that was unprovoked. Or as coach, you said in high school one time, my assistant baseball coach, when we were trying on hats

and I kept having to size up because I have a big head. You're all ahead, shivery. That's what he told me. Fucking Shrek. Thanks, coach. Don't even. Shrek's got a big head, right?

That's part of the deal. He's an ogre. What do you think, dog? I've never seen it. I have no clue. You know that Trek's an ogre, though. No, I really didn't know what species he was. It's not a real species.

What is he? It's a mythological creature. It's an ogre. I don't know. Unicorn is also not real. Okay. but is the official animal of Scotland. A unicorn?

Of course, there was at one time I was on a walk in my neighborhood and there was a little girl's birthday party. They had this beautiful white horse in the front yard and they put a horn on its head and the girls were going crazy for it. They had to be traumatizing if they saw it being removed. It's just some rich people shit. Yeah.

You could tell me that unicorns actually existed at one point in life. I believe it. doesn't seem far-fetched it's just a horn i mean you got deer that grow antlers and stuff why is it any of that much weir that a horse can grow a horn a rhino grows a horn off the front yeah nor walls i rode through the desert on a horse with no name famously didn't make it far got dehydrated they had uh medevac me it's the whole thing but i tried glad you made it out man uh man we recorded uh touching base yesterday.

Mm-hmm. That was a fun one. I need to do a post about it. That was fun. If you saw my Gungham-style tweet, you might be wondering, why is Dave doing Gengham-style tweets? It's Gengham-style, right?

Well, we did about 20 minutes on an infamous, the most controversial, one of the most controversial tweets from the last 10, 11 years, from our friend Jared. he also had the chest luge which wasn't really a tweet but it was a social media post he also the poop shotgun guy no but i think everybody thought that was pretty funny it was poop shot guy was objectively funny not i mean i would i don't know if i would have posted it

but i still need a like i can't remember what that video was it wasn't the guy jumping off the dock right no no okay have you seen that one this was a basically a guy he was standing up pooping. Why was it called a shotgun? I don't remember. Was he shotguning a beer while he did it? I assume so. I feel like there was a shotgun of a beer.

Maybe he was shotguning a beer, standing up pooping over, it was like near a toilet or I don't know. Give context. This is a, this is not, isn't this like a Harlem Shake video or am I conflating it with blippy? I think that's, oh yeah, those are different. Okay. Yeah, it wasn't Harlem Shake. He was just a random dude.

It was a run by pooping. No. But anyways, yeah. I don't think I remember that video. You guys talk about it all the time, but. Not all the time. Literally all the time. Every day we're coming in here.

Yeah, go check it out. We also discussed just one of the dumber arguments you'll hear, and it's Micah, Will, me, Dylan, arguing over sand volleyball, the merits of sand volleyball versus pool volleyball. And in the end, it's like, it's just a matter of preference. We had strong takes for just no reason at all. Everybody was like sneaky trying to flex their ability in like one of them. And it just ended up being just pointless, a pointless 15 minutes of audio. I believe we got to the point where Dylan was the best pool volleyball player ever.

And there was no better server in San volleyball than Will. Well, Will, if you put Will. We'll put it anywhere. No one's hitting it by Will. He's protecting the line. The back line is his. That's his spot. Fun stuff.

Hey, next week we're doing Roommate Week on Patreon. That'll be next Tuesday. That'll be a lot of fun. You can still hit the Haas line. 877-352-hoss. Again, 877-352-4-677. That's the new line. If you want to leave a message for a listener of voicemails,

keep it quick. Keep it a minute or less. You know, if you got a really great story, 90 seconds. Say the thing. Get in, get out, be tactical. That doesn't change. Man, I'm watching clips of the MLB combine is going on right now. It's a mixture of college kids and high school kids.

I don't know that I've ever seen footage from the MLB combine. Pitchers will throw off the mound. Infielders will take ground balls and fired across the first base, and then they all take hacks. And they just, there's a 17-year-old kid who's like a first-round projection. And he swings like a grown man. And I just, I never saw anyone swing a bat like that when I was in high school. It's just, it's unbelievable.

Where's he from? I don't know. His name's Rocco, though. Sick. He's got a very Italian last name. Shout out Rocco Baldelli. He threw it 97 miles per hour across the diamond from shortstop. And then he had like 112 exit velo at the plate.

Just numbers that I just didn't see growing up. We weren't really concerned with exit velo back in the day. It wasn't a thing. Nobody really. No one ever mentioned it. The tech wasn't there really. Now it's like it's not crazy to get exit Velo. I think the tech was there.

Not on the, not on the capacity to like get exit VLO where they had it like every stadium had it. Right. Now it's like track man. Or now it's like, it's not crazy that someone has their own little launch device that they bring in a driving range.

I think the days of like, like you see like 30 scouts sitting behind a home plate with a radar gun. I think those days are over. Those are fun era. Now it's just computers and I don't know. Anyway. But they do like 40 times and stuff?

Probably. Yeah, they have to. I'm just seeing highlights hit the T.L. Are they measuring how much piss is in those missiles? Yeah. They do a piss measurement. They measure how much piss is in their balls? They say like, that's full tank right there.

No, they don't measure how much pisses in their balls, which of course is where Pia store. Of course. Yeah. It's like a little water tower. That's how Dave can piss so fast. They're not, you know, retaining that much piss. No. Mine drain quickly.

Huge. Doesn't have them. Man, I slept great last night. I bet I know why. Because I was on the Lisa mattress that I've owned for many, many years. We love Lisa mattresses. You've got the legend hybrid cooling. I have the same.

We've been gassing it up for a long time. And there's a reason, because I have. I have not only one, not only two, but I have three in my home. What? I have three Lisa mattresses in my home. Man, I only have two. To be fair, one of mine is not in use because it's like zipped up in a protective cover from when we move, if we move.

One of mine, I actually purchased myself. That's how much you like to. That's how much I love Lisa. It's great. If you're looking to do like a spring or summer reset, sleep better, it's Lisa is the way to go. They've been awarded best hybrid and best memory foam mattress by the New York.

to my backer of the week this far. Randy, I sent you something just a few minutes ago, actually whilst doing the pod. This is my backer of the week. He posted this in the subreddit. Zoom in. or you can just tell us his name.

Oh. Sheesh. Oh, this is Alex Tran. Alex Tran, he did the thing here. Family was out of town. What's in the top right? That's a sweet potato. Oh.

Yeah, it sure is. Look like fish at first to me. Yeah, that's what I thought too. He did the move. He did the move that everybody's getting into now. When you got a night to yourself at home, you don't need to order a big meal. You don't need Uber Eats or DoorDash, a $40 meal. Go get you a ribby.

Go get you your steak, your cut of meat of choice, maybe a piece of fish. Get you a green. Get you a low glycemic starch, maybe a sweet potato, and cook it up. And that's what he did. This is a sliced ribeye with a homemade chimy cherry. Do the sunny side up egg on top of the... Asparagus. Thank you.

I forgot the word for us. I've never seen an interesting move. That's not a move I would have done, but I would love to try it. We're looking at, I don't know, 60 grams of protein here, maybe 70 with all that meat plus the egg. He clearly did the sweet potato move where you slice it in half, oil the face, cook it face down on... That's my move. Either parchment or foil you can do it on either, I guess. Actually, I should say that's Che-Chance.

And he charted up. It's a big Instagram move right. now. And this is how I've been doing it as well. But I got to say, my adult come out looking quite as good. I really like what he's done here. That's a good looking sweet potato. Even, uh, even presented it on the cutting board. So there you go, dude. All right. We might need to do a happy hour live or something soon and get, uh, the wife's out of town meal, uh, competition going again like we did back in the day and just see what people. Wife's gone. If your wife's doing Majan, she's doing bunco um dude dude i like you just take advantage i like just off the cutting board move

yeah it's very uh it's primal it is i like it i would have gone uh probably brocolini over the asparagus but that's just a personal taste for me this is a good meal yeah the uh the egg on top is so it's very interesting but i guess you know where else were you going to put those two eggs you can't just put you can't just put you with them on them. They have to go on top of something. Hey, great job. I don't know if Alex Tron. I would have put it on top of the asparagus? I may just put it right on the car. You don't like asparagus.

Well, I don't know what I thought if I would have put it on top of a vegetable. Oh, wait, home, we're not even. Do we miss something? He's outside and look at, that's waterfront view right there. Oh, it is. Is that the ocean? What a, what a scene that he's. Yeah, he looks like Puerto Ranzas to me.

quite the scene do you think the I don't know if that's poor to do you think what's this name Lightning Bolt what's the guy who does the

geo tracking Oh yeah Do you think he could figure out where exactly this is using like the angle of the sun and the color of the water Maybe That guy is unbelievable

What's his name? Rainbolt Yeah Rainbolt I wish I had notes but I clearly have none None whatsoever We're calling this

the Dave? I don't know if I could. He can't leave. He was out of town for the night. That's the day. A thing is just called pull to Dave. Pull the day. The meal itself. I'll think of a better name. The Chimmy Churry, making your homemade Chimmy Chir, good on you, man. I would not have done that. I've never made Chimmy Chirry. Chay makes a good one. If I were craving Chimmy Chirie, I would just buy, I would go to the cold section and get a pre-made chimmy chri. So frat on to you, good sir.

Slaantro, olive oil. garlic garlic he actually i believe somewhere on here gave the his recipe okay yeah there it is oh wow read the chimicherry is one bunch yeah one bunch of parsley with the stems cut off half a bunch of cilantro two very ripe serranos please please six big garlic cloves half a red onion a good pinch of salt Quarter cup olive oil, one third cup red wine vinegar, all into a smoothie blender until smoothish. Hard money, Micah, makes a chimichuri that he's very proud of. Yeah, that seems like it's right up, Micah's alley. Hell yeah, dude.

Good on you. Backer of the week right there. Well, it's still early. It's Wednesday. We got time. Tomorrow's moving day. So you got time backers. That's right.

What's up with this? I'm going to let you take it because this is big news for you. Well, it's potentially big news. We don't know yet. Pull up that tweet that I linked in here, Randall, if you don't mind. Word is getting out that there will be an expansion in HL team moving to Texas. Apparently, according to Brett and some people on Twitter with blue check marks, it is a done deal.

Like, it's official that it's happening. The city has not yet been settled, which is between. Austin and Houston. I'm like somewhat hopeful, but I don't see it happening for Austin. The more I read is that Houston is just a better sports market. And it is. Houston's got to be a top 10 market in the U.S. But why is why is this is a frustrating topic for me?

I mean, I grew up in this city. I've watched Austin grow from a mid-sized town to like a full. on metropolis, right? It's a big city. It's the 12th most populous city in the United States. It ranks fourth in Texas, however. A lot of big cities in Texas. What is the 12th biggest in the United States, okay? Population-wise. Yeah. We have never had until soccer and an MLS team made its way to Austin a several years ago, never had a professional sports team. I'm not thrilled about an MLS team being in Austin And number one, soccer doesn't do a lot for me.

Number two, MLS is a third-rate league. It just is. Well, that's not very nice. Third rate compared to what? Other soccer? English Premier League. I mean, there are better leagues throughout the world. Sure.

You don't have to be the best at everything to enjoy it. Point being MLS doesn't draw like top-tier talent. Yeah, Messi is an MLS guy, but he seems pretty good. He's at the twilight of his career. Don't tell him that. but he is. Looks pretty good thus far in the dub C. Beckham played for L.A. at the twilight of his career, the money grab, you know.

So I get it. But the point being, Austin FC doesn't do a lot for me and like, oh, we have a professional sports team. Okay. So I've been champing for hockey, baseball, or football to make its way to Austin at some point. Baseball will be my first choice. and the reason for that

is that you get, what, 81 home games a year? Right? Yeah. That's a lot of opportunity to go to ball games. You get games throughout the week. It's not just Saturday or Sunday. You get a lot of opportunities to go to games. Tickets are getable.

Anyway, baseball will be my top choice. Hockey is up there too. It'd probably go baseball, football, hockey. But I would be absolutely thrilled for hockey. You can go ahead and eliminate football from that. I know. That's not going to happen. I know.

The owners won't let it happen. It won't happen. I've given up on that. Baseball would be so sick. I would absolutely love that. Hockey would also be sick. So now that this is on the table for Austin, I'm like, you know,

I'm a little excited to see the potential here. For my money, hockey's the best ticket in town in Dallas. Stars games are the most fun in-game experience. A hockey game is just sick. It's just fun. It's fast. It's cool to cold in there.

You don't have to worry about that. You can wear a sweater in there. It's great. I'm seeing Houston guys on Twitter that are saying, like, dude, if we don't get this, it's such bullshit. Like Houston's a better market, blah, blah, blah. Man, fuck that. They have basketball.

They have football. They have baseball. Give us something. Give us something. Yeah, I mean, Houston, I figured it would have happened by now. I thought the Fertitas were involved. in that but this is a different group this is the i believe it's the fried kin family i don't know who that's super familiar but they have uh ownership stake in a couple teams um everton and then uh

italian league a syria team okay well yeah i i agree that i think austin should get it i'd be do it man i'd be cute for y'all i'd be in very down to root for austin hockey the freetkin group I'd be happy for y'all. Stop saying for y'all. No, that would be cool. You guys could go experience the thrill of a little live puck. So this would be the third expansion team in like the past six, like eight years? Because we've got knights and the mammoth, right?

Sure. He's been expanding a lot. I mean, I don't know. Like, I don't know. I've seen a little bit of pushback on Twitter from hockey people from blue check marks saying like, we don't need to keep watering it down but i don't know it seems good that texas has two big teams as you mentioned there's four there's four uh for the largest cities in the country in this state right the friedkin group by the way um one of the world's largest they have a few irons in

the fire one of the largest independent toyota distributors also uh they have award-winning luxury resorts so they have a vast portfolio mm-hmm that's neither here nor there i didn't know anything about them until now. But come on, man. Give us something. How hockey, how sick would hockey be? Man, I'm going to play devil's advocate. We can't even get you to go support the one professional team we have here. Why would you support a hockey team? First of all, I've been to three games. You just said you don't like it. I took Parks. He likes it. Okay. Okay, they sell out. Like Austin FC, it's a good product. They're not even good. They sell out. I think I've seen one goal in the three game from our team, one goal. That's not good. You need. You need.

I need more. Stinks, right? But I have been, I do support it. And that's, I don't even like soccer. I do like hockey, much more than I like soccer. I mean, are you going to give up being a lifelong Knights fan? I would. Wow.

Dude, I would bail on the Cowboys. It's an, Austin, I mean, I grew up here. It would be, yeah, I would go all in. I'd give up on the Rangers a baseball move here. I can't imagine giving up on your football team. Football is like just, that's ingrained. That's ingrained. You can't imagine that because you are from Dallas.

That's like your hometown team. I know. Dave. Like, Can't be it. You grew up watching it. If I got a team from like where I grew up, like, like if I get the Chicago Bears in, you know,

Northwest Indiana, I'll give up on the Chicago Bears. Pretend for a second that you grew up in Austin. But you also grew up a Cowboys fan. If an expansion team moved here, you wouldn't just latch on to them immediately. Really? No, I've got, I've got memory. Like, back when we,

we competed in conference championships and Super Bowls. Those are core memories for me watching those games. I would even, I can't say that I would have that same experience living in Austin, but it wasn't like I was going to those games. I went to some Cowboy Games, but like, no. I'd still be it. I would beat that, that's my team.

I'd still be a Cowboys fan, but they would get demoted to my secondary team. No, I would, and we said this out there, if it was hockey, and it might be the same for football, but football would never happen, because the Jones family, the owners of the Texans would never let another team come into the Texas market. But my son, like Rhodes would, we would go to,

if an HL team moved here, we would go to those games. And he might even grow up like being a fan. But the stars, I'm never going to like renounce my stars. Oh, I would never expect. They would always be number one. You're a Dallas guy. And plus you mean that was your team, your whole life. Same with the Cowboys.

That was my team, my whole life. Yeah, you're a Dallas guy. But you're a Dallas guy. The difference is that you're a Dallas guy. Like, I've never had that. I've never had the joy of watching my hometown team take the field. Like, never. I mean, they're in Irving.

You know what I mean? It's DFW. It's the area. I mean, you were three hours away. I was 30 minutes away. 20. Right. That's a hometown team.

I guess. I guess. It's fine. So you're telling you if Duncanville got a professional sports team, you want to root for them? The Duncanville dogs. We basically have one. And you basically have a professional sports team. team college athletics football basketball is professional sports yeah i mean yeah with yeah i'm a huge

texas fan so you guys do you got it good man you got it if i if i move to the club hockey team at texas is probably break uh stop banking dude stop you know that doesn't count no you're right no it would be cool um i'm trying to think like where it would be yeah worst thing that could happen i say this for every every sports team is that they would put the they'd put them up in round rock or put them up in cedar park yeah well the the bad news i got because last time i checked the expansion m mb teams uh austin was on the shore list but it looks like not as much anymore yeah expansion mlb 2029 is the plan you know where that interesting you know that property along the river where the um austin american states been used to be it's now some some some other

company has not taken it over. Is that where bodies end up? It's near there, yeah. But it's a massive piece of property on Lady Bird Lake. And it's just a big warehouse looking building at this point. And it's, it would be prime. I mean, it would be so sick. I've heard that site getting thrown out as a potential landing spot for one of these teams.

That's a big part of it. Do you have a city council that would be on board, be friendly? to, you know, a team. Who's going to pay to build the stadium? That's a real fun one over the last 10 years, 15, 20, where it's like taxpayers like foot the bill. And it's like, oh, this is a boom to the economy. And then does it ever work out quite like that?

We don't know. But I think hockey is, hockey you don't need a crazy big space. No. As we've seen. So hockey is doable. I can see it. I mean, they're completely redoing the Austin Convention Center and stuff.

So they're constantly revamping stuff in downtown Austin. So I can see it being very much doable. Oh, for sure. For sure. Yeah. Do you want to know? I think it's... The way that people support Austin FC, it kind of shows that there's, you know,

potential there for support. The Austin, the MLS fan, how do I say this? So this happened with Starr's fandom. There's a lot of Starrs fans. Dallas. Stars relocated to Dallas and like 91, 92 from Minnesota. A lot of people who didn't grow up watching a ton of sports latched on to the stars because it was like a fresh start and nobody in DFW really knew hockey that well. So you get a lot of people who like the stars who weren't super big cowboys. Nobody was really a Ranger fan back then because they were really bad.

Same with the maths. So it was like the stars fans are like pretty much just stars fans. The ones who get like season tickets. Now that's changed over the years, but there is like a different like MLS teams, MLS and Austin. If you go to one of those games, a lot of those people probably don't watch a ton of other sports. It's like, oh, this is new and we can get into it and support it and we'll be diehard soccer fans. And, you know, there's not a ton of that in town. Not a lot of people are watching MLS or even Premier League or any of that. So there's probably a big overlap between the person who latches on to an MLS team to a hockey team. So I think it would definitely work here.

Yeah. Yeah. I hope it happens. It would be fun for the town. It would be so much fun. The chat points out. I miss Cracken, too. Cracking.

So there's, they are expanding a lot. Do you want to hear the top six potential for the expansion MLB teams? I do. As Sports Illustrated. Montreal, Sacramento, Charlotte, Portland, and then these are the top two, it looks like, Salt Lake City and Nashville.

When I was in Oklahoma City, the rumor was that somebody from the A's, a group from ownership of the A's was looking at where the Red Hawks or the Oklahoma City Minor League team plays to see if they could convert it into a major league stadium, which never seemed possible. It's in Bricktown.

And that the Oklahoma City was being considered. I don't, there's never any, that was just a little bit of smoke. I'm a little surprised it's not on there. Is the Moody Center big enough for hockey? I think so. I think so. I would think so too. I got that big upper deck that they close for basketball games, they open for concerts and stuff. Yeah. It might be, we already have the venue. I don't know. That would be cool. Hell yeah. And Austin has a, public transportation right isn't there some kind of rail system there's a rail i don't know get people to and from i don't know how useful it is but yeah there is so one of those things where

we have it and like nobody uses it i think it just goes to like north austin and to downtown and that's it it's like for commuters from like round rock cedar park to to downtown that that's the coolest thing about a night's game, I think, is that you just, I mean, unless you're staying right there, you walk over, but like you hop on, the rail system takes you right there. That's cool. Yeah. It does take you to Austin FC, that rail.

Really? Okay. Well, we've got to track it. We've got to monitor it. I'll be monitoring. Assess it as well. With a glimmer of hope. Houston. They have teams, man. They have a... Sure to love.

Will they? I think, I think Austin has more of a what has a potential more rabid fandom than Houston would. I just think people here are like champing at the bit. Yeah. There's a lot of transplants here too. And also how many like douchebag tech people that they can sell like box seating to and all that? There's such a market here for those folks. Dude, I thought you were talking about Texas tech people at first.

I was like, where is he going with this? There's a lot of, you're right. You're right. Cactus mafia. I mean, this is a transplant city at this point. There's a lot of money here. A lot of people just looking to latch on to a team. I think it would be successful.

Okay. We'll find out. I don't think we're going to find out. I'm going to be the guy wearing my star sweater, my winter classic star sweater to the game is doing this. Hmm. Oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah.

See, you're, you know what icing is? You're one of the spoiled people I'm talking about. Do you know what icing is? You have a team in all the major sports. That's the blue line. You just don't get it. Do you know what the blue line is? You don't get what it's like.

To not have a sports team? Yeah. That is true. I don't know what that's like. No. You have sports teams. You just don't have them here. Right.

I've had to look around. You know, I respect your, well, there was guys in college from Austin that would like, they would just pick the best team from the like, be like, I'm a Rockets fan because at the time in the 90s, the Rockets were the team, right? Back to back. You know, the Rockets fan, but I'm also a cowboy fan, dabble in the spur. Right. Yeah.

It was like, I want you, once you would slow down a little bit. I'm Astros fan. I'm mostly like geographic, like vicinity. Like the Spurs are the closest team to me, basketball.

Would you renounce Spurs fandom if we've got an NBA team here? Yeah. Ooh, that's tough, man. Yeah, I would.

Spurs are just such a good franchise. I would still like the Spurs, but they would, again, be my secondary team. Okay. I'm on Dylan's side with this one. I get it.

Lulah, man, hate to see it. Hate to see it for DP. Dude perfect? Different. Dude perfect's doing okay. Okay. They're doing better than Dustin Porrier is doing today, I'm sure. Dustin Porriere, not fighting anymore.

That was Austin Powers. He, just a few weeks ago, some interviews kind of popped up where he's talking about, yeah, it's been tough not fighting. I'm kind of just trying to stay busy, you know, mentioned having some dark days. And when you do something your whole life and your whole life is staying in shape, training, being in the gym, all for, you know, two, three fights a year. When that goes away, you hear this with other sports. It's very tough to deal with. It's like, what do I do with my time now?

Like, what's my identity? Word came out the other day. He got arrested for public intoxication. In my head, I didn't read the details. I was thinking, oh, he was too drunk at a bar or something. right. Happens. Fun fact. I had a P.I.

Or I had a, yeah, I got arrested for P.I. College. Happens to a lot of people. Did you? M.I. Is. Yeah. The video came out yesterday. It's in an airport. He was trying to board a plane. I believe this is New Orleans.

He got kicked off the plane. And this is the body cam footage, which is already out there. It's not great. Excuse the language. No, it's not good. Let's go, McDow. What's going on? What's up? Pudge your hoes.

Let's go. Let's go. Relax. Yeah, they fucking lying, motherfucker. Yeah, pulling off the plane. All my boys went to the fucking crib. Now what the fuck. And this is why he got my dog.

You dust and fuck you, bro. Okay. Fuck you and fuck her and fuck her. Can I give a, can I mention some? We don't have to watch a whole video. But I want to say, from what I can tell, dude, shout out to this place. Dude, shout out to this police officer who very, very easily could have, like, turned this into a bad situation because this is dust.

He knows who Dustin Porrier is. He's being very aggressive with the cop. He's threatening to fight him. Like, dude, you've seen, you've seen stuff like this go real bad. And you can hit play. I probably should have waited for that. But just I want to say, keep that in mind. Like, this is an armed, a police officer in the airport.

And this is a very aggressive drunk dude. Bro, I don't want to fight. Bro, I don't want to fight. Let's go. Let's go. Radio, have you step up. Tell them, come on. Because it's gonna be bad.

Bro, it's gonna be bad, bro, bro. What's up? Bro, relax. You know the fight? Hand on the taser. You start several you. No. You boys are not gonna fight something.

That's pussy. Bro. You pussy, boy. You pussy. You're pussy. Relax. Relax. Relax.

You're gonna taste me, though? Relax. Cops backing up. Bro, relax. Just relax. Give me a good one. It's a dab at the end, by the way. Another cop pulls out.

What's a bunch of holes, right? What's your ass fucking, bitch. What's going on, brother, talk to me. The beast's fucking lying holes, man. Right. Let's go. Arrest me. He's offering his hand for the cuffs. You got to be a little wary there.

That's the best way, dog. He just kind of submits to the name. Pounder. Yeah, you did a great job, right? You did a great job. You did what you good. He did do a great job. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, like, wait, what's that, what's that police? Oh, Atlanta. Okay. It's not in Atlanta. Okay. Yeah. He knew who Dustin Poirier was, as he said, you're Dustin Poirier, right? Man, fuck you, bro.

When that dude squares up with you, it's like, no, I'm not going to fight you, dude. Yeah, like, there's a lot. There's plenty out there to plenty of bad interactions to get posted. And like this one, it's like, okay,

you got a dude, he squares up at one point, pulls up in that Philly show, and you're like, uh-oh, it's just gonna go. That's what that's called. I saw someone say that on Twitter.

Yeah, you kind of roll, keep that shoulder up, protect your chin. But yeah, the, I don't know. It's,

it's really sad because DP is not known. He's known as like a good dude. And like, you know, I don't know. It's very sad to see that. it is dr mark friend of the show that's like his guy oh dr mark loves he's a he's in orleans guys yeah so yeah that's um that's tough he adapts him up in the handcuffs at the end he says

you did what you did a good job i couldn't tell if he was being like what i don't know if he's being like uh sarcastic oh good job dude or if he was genuinely like it seemed genuine it kind of kind of did, right? Almost like, hey, thanks for not escalating that. I was probably out of line. Yeah, thanks for not accepting my offer to fight, which would not have gone well for the no, no. I'm a little surprised that that didn't end in a tasing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he squares up with you like that and that's a dude who can do a lot of damage. That's a serious threat, man. You know, famously, back in the day, I had to register my hands.

Yeah. Really? Is lethal weapons with the local police department. Yeah. You have to do that. If your hands are lethal weapons, you have to register it. Whoa. And that way, like, they have it in the system where they know like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. This guy's hands, he carries a permit.

He's got lethal weapons. Right. I didn't know that about you. He's crazy. It wasn't just me. There's plenty of us out there. Yeah. I had at least one kid in my high school that I had the same thing.

Yeah. I feel like at least one at every high school. Yeah. Everybody knew somebody, right? What's crazy for DP is like not only his hands, but his feet. He can kick, too. They're lethal weapons. Yeah.

Elbows as well. He said it's going to get bad. Better call for backup. It's going to get bad. And he did. Yeah. And luckily, it did not get bad. No.

It's like, I've never been on a flight with an overly drunk person, let alone an intoxicated UFC fighter. World champions. No one's going to accept that fight. Like, I'm good, dude. It's like LeBron Challenge. you to a fucking one-on-one. Okay, but what if it's 13-year-old

LeBron? Except instead of losing a basketball game, you just get knocked out cold. Which honestly, like, best case, if, like, DP, like, you just get knocked out. Best case, as opposed to just getting, like, repeatedly crumpled. Yeah. I would rather take one knockout than, like, 10

face rearranging punches that I'm like, I keep getting back up on. I didn't hear no bell. I don't think you keep getting up from that. Come on, man. come on he respect you for it one more round hey man you did a good job he was getting he was close to getting tased if he would have kept on advancing that that officer would have oh yeah have you have to you got to protect yourself your boys never tased

destroyed i i was always able to avoid the taser gun we never had taser kid we had one taser kid did you have uh what's the uh the cattle prong it was like stun gun like the kind of but it wasn't like a prod like it was just a handheld one I am curious what, like, I would never want to actually get tased, but I'm curious what it just just seizes you up, you know, and you just, you might make, you may make messy in your dipey. Yeah, I might. I bet it's, I bet it's a very uncomfortable feeling. Yeah. Don't tase me, bro. Don't tase me, bro. So that's an all-timer. I keep thinking of videos we missed from the internet draft. One, one we missed. In addition to don't tase me, bro, the, the, uh, the dudes, uh, getting fitted at men's

warehouse for the... That was the first one. Did we drop that? Okay, thank God. That was the caller. Thank God. That was the one that he was the example. I watched that the other day and I was like, did we miss this?

Every time I see that I watch it. The one that we watched the other day that I don't know if we mentioned was the mobile leprechaun. Like, that's an all-time or two. Alabama leprecha? Yeah. Yeah, that's classic. I don't know if we mentioned that to you.

So I always think that when I see one of those big ones pop up, I have the same thought. I'm like, did we mention this when we talked about the all-time internet videos? Yeah. Hope D.P. gets good, man. Yeah. To come out of that interaction on an airplane and just get a PI, like, I feel like you see stories of people getting, having incidents on the plane. It's like, well, felony, something or other on a plane. And that, you know, it's. Is this like no flight list bad? Because you know, I don't know what went down on the plane. But if clearly his only charges PI, no, I don't think it's flightless bad. Tiffany Gomez got banned from whichever airline she had her little. freak out on. Probably worth it for her. She's had a rise. Yeah, but I think she can fly all the other ones, just not, I don't know, American or something, whatever it was. She can't fly. That's kind of crazy because all she did was, they probably didn't like it. They didn't like that she was exposing that motherfuckers on their plane weren't real. Yeah. The motherfucker wasn't real. If it was like United, they're like, oh shit, she's exposing us. Anytime she posts or like that video

pops up or her name, you can go down a, you go down a wormhole. on like people who think that she saw a reptilian or a shape shifter. It's weird because she's, I mean, many times after that incident, she's been asked, like, what were you describing? Like, what did you see? And she doesn't really have an answer for it. Well, the theory is that she's not really her. She's been swapped out.

I mean, to be honest, the first time I saw her, like, come out being like, yeah, that was me. I was like, is that the same woman? Or is this just a woman? She disappeared for three weeks and just had a glow up. She came out. She did have a major clue. Great, great for her. But it did.

There was a thought where it's like, they don't look like completely the same person. Yeah. And she even, like, wore the same outfit, like in a video later. And I was like, that doesn't look like the same woman.

Conspiracy theory. There was a, there was a reptile on the plane with a human mask on. Shapeshifter, if you will. Like, to be careful. For Mortal Kombat.

How would we feel? What if, like, the you know like that's like the thought that like the one of the alien species that's on earth it's reptiles and they're inhuman what if it was like not a reptile what if it was like they're actually like

fucking giraffes the fucking giraffe people how would that make you feel differently about giraffes or would it it would be quite the revelation that would be yeah I don't know I don't know how I answer that like would it be like easier to accept because a reptile

traditionally while some reptiles are cool, they are kind of new. Dude, how did the whole lizard people thing? What's the origin of that crazy theory? That's been around for a while. Better out for a while. But like, how did it start?

It's just so bizarre. Well, there's lizard people around. But there aren't. You know that for sure? Exercise just like an ounce of common sense. It'll tell you that it's not a thing. Why? Do you believe in God?

Humans, a reptile that are in human, form? Is that what we're talking about here? I don't know. Like why it's not a thing? I don't know, Dylan. Because common sense? Well, why? What's common about that?

Did you see Drewski? He'll be anyone. He was Erica Kirk. Why is that common sense, though? That there are reptiles in human form? That there are or are not. Because it defies. But what do we know about the material world?

All right, let's not go down this. There were dinosaurs. For a long time. Are there ones that look like humans? Probably maybe, who knows? Probably maybe. What happened to him? I'm just saying, man.

Comet God, I'm dog. That's what you think. They went underground and then they developed. I don't know, man. I just, I think, like, there's people who would argue that it actually makes a lot of sense. I'm not doing this. The motherfucker wasn't real. She was just talking about a guy who was down there who was back there just tripping a little bit.

He was just being kind of a dick. Explain that, yeah. Explain that if there's no... I can't explain what she saw and what she was talking about. Call it right now. Because there's not a video. There's not a...

Why did they pan over to the end of the aisle just to show us what she was talking about? Did they? Maybe they didn't want us to see everything. Who was recording that? Maybe you had another reptilian. Just a random passenger. Did a fly with two reptilians is too many.

One, you can maybe deal with. Two, it's like, what do you guys plotting? Well, famously, I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane. It wasn't just one snake. It was multiple snakes that he was upset about. So multiple reptilians when you really- There were snakes on that one plane.

Yeah. We actually exited to go to a gas station by the snake farm on our way down to San Antonio, through San Antonio. It just sounds nasty. It's a reptile house. Did you go inside and change for a 20? No, I wasn't looking for Ramona. I was looking for a place for my five-year-old to peepee.

Do you know that lore? Yeah, it's a brothel with reptilian people. No. Great point, Rand. Thank you, Dave. Snakes, reptiles? Apparently, it is a brothel. The legend says, I don't think it's actually real.

If you go inside and ask the person up front for a change for a 20, that's code for bring me to the back. For what? Prostitution. Brothal. Dude, there's nothing sexier than being at a snake farm. Yeah. I would just probably just go to the bunny ranch. If I were into that sort of thing, and I'm certainly not.

for the record. Is that still around? I think so. Outside of Vegas? Yeah. Reno, Vegas, whatever. Yeah. Do people go to Reno often?

No, but I've never been to Reno. Man, the chat is not agreeing with you, Dylan. They're calling you a reptilian now. I promise you I'm not a reptile. No, but you are all head. I am all ahead, though. Once the chat turns, man, there's, it's so many tough to get back. Next thing, Dylan is going to say he doesn't.

doesn't believe in interdimensional elves. Do you not believe in interdimensional elves? I just don't know how he got here with the reptile thing. It's just such a bizarre theory to, like, latch on to. Oh, false flag, Dylan. Jeez. Who's paying you, Dylan? Yeah, who's paying you to spell this?

Yeah. Are you getting some off the books money? It's fucking weird. Well, I'm going to tell you this. I had a friend text me yesterday. It was like, I don't want to put him on blast. I don't want to have them either. He asked me about our promo code for Lola

blankets because this show is brought to you by lo la blankets is a true story i believe you and i hope i got it right because i didn't look at the copy i just guessed but we have loa blankets in our home we have two of them we've given one as a gift got my parents one for christmas a couple years ago we love lola blankets they recently sent me a dog bed mm-hmm it's the most luxurious bed i've ever seen in my life it's stella is sleeping like an absolute queen they're not just blankets folks They've got more than that.

The story that just never ends. Yeah, I'm almost tired of talking about it at this point. The Sorsby situation. He was banking.

Of course, he was rolled eligible by a district judge. And then after like a couple weeks of controversy, Texas Tech announced that he will not be playing for Texas Tech this season. This is after, of course, the Big 12 filed a lawsuit. Yes. So then it's like, all right, well, he's just going to go to the supplemental draft, which is not a thing every offseason. But if there's a reason to hold a supplemental draft, you have to apply for it. And then the NFL either grants it or says, no, we're not going to do it. Well, they're not going to do it.

no supplemental draft this year so he will have to wait for the 2027 NFL draft not only was there not a supplemental draft or there won't be he received a just a extremely passive aggressive letter yes the gc of the NFL Lawrence for a Frazani junior is his name yeah probably a fun one to draft honestly yeah Adam Schifter posted the whole letter and it's just basically like with all that's been going on with the gambling allegations and whatnot, we're not doing it. They just shut his, they shut his ass down. So now Sorsby and his lawyer are threatening a law, another lawsuit. Against the NFL.

Against the NFL. To kind of use the Players Association, I believe, to like back, I don't know. I don't fucking get it. At some point he has to weigh whether it's worth just falling in line, taken this year. Yeah, he's not creating a lot of goodwill. Go start a pod.

Go do a pod for the next 10 till and train and train and do a pod. Just train, lay low. You're going to stay healthy. You're not playing. That's good. You're going to be healthy for the next draft. And you will get picked up. Yeah.

Because let's say he does sue the NFL. If there's one thing we know about the NFL and their owners and the commissioner or Gadell, they, uh, they rally around issues like this. And they will collude to keep this kid out of football. Like, you know, like they did this with, and this was the Kaepernick stuff, obviously very different circumstances. But like behind closed doors, it's like nobody's going to pick this guy up. This guy's bad for business. So it's run almost like, you know, like a meeting of like the different mob families where it's like there's like an understood agreement that no we're going to freeze this guy out and they they will they will do the same to Sorsby to the extent that

they can um i'm just saying like i wonder if it's more beneficial for him to be like all right i'm going to stop paying my fucking $1,200 an hour lawyers who by the way are just eating good off of me and just in my NIL money the money i do have and like just say all right look i'll go i'll start a little pod, get a little ad money, and I'll just stay in great shape. And then next year rolls around, maybe, you know, worst case scenario, I get picked up by a team after the draft as an undrafted free agent. He'll probably get drafted. That's exactly what he should. He'll get drafted by somebody. The last paragraph of this letter, it says, as Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities,

including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success we encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the twenty twenty seven NFL annual draft lawrence p ferrazani junior lpfj he's got to just keep his head down and stop fighting this thing man like you said he's two there lawyers got the his teeth in him sucking him dry what do you think he's worth if he were to go in the supplemental because i mean teams have to give up picks right Yeah, I thought maybe a third or a fourth. Yeah.

Where somebody would. They basically just bid on it. Is that how I don't. To my knowledge, yeah. It's just what, what draft pick are you willing to give up? You know, I don't think anybody's going to give up a first. Probably not even a second. Wouldn't shock me.

Like Cleveland, we made this joke already, but like, they might fuck around. Just give up a third. Dude, it does suck for him. Like, if he were to play this year and have a chance to, solidify his draft stock. He's, it's probably costing him a shit ton of money, which is unfortunate,

but accountability, man. Money that he can't gamble. That's true. Yeah. That's another thing is pod won't be, uh, won't be taking that draft kings or fan duel or underdog money for the pod.

They said, you have to do those, uh, gonna have to do it the old fashioned way. You're going to have to do, uh, he's partner with Izzy. Do a busy partnership.

Maybe Avion. Yeah. Do the old-fashioned one. I'm sure my bookie would take him. Did you a Patreon off? Your petition does not address these matters, nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether or how you would adhere to the league's rules and policies.

So they're basically saying your petition didn't include any language about what happened, what you're doing to fix it or anything like that. It was just like, here, I want to be in the supplemental draft. Basically is what they're saying. And it wasn't enough. They're like, no, that's not going to cut it, dude. Yeah. It sucks for him.

It sucks also. He'll get a shot. That like, if he does get a shot, it's not only like, hey, big jump from college athletics to the NFL, especially for a quarterback. Also, you have all of this baggage, not even like the, even, like, take away, like, the idea that, like, at any minute he could go down for a gambling thing, right? because he has like this previous stuff. Also, just like the weight of it that every start, you're that, you're that guy.

You're that guy who had like three different lawsuits going. Yeah. sued the NFL. It was a whole thing. Now you're in there. So it's like by the bar for you is just, it's exponentially higher. It's a little bit higher actually. Just a little bit.

Because it's like people aren't going to give you the same grace. They're going to be like, oh, God. You would like to think that his lawyers are not just trying to milk this for all its worse and they're actually giving him good sound advice, but it doesn't seem like they are because he needs to lay low. I wonder where he's at right now. He wasn't Lubbock. I wonder if he's still just posted up, hitting chimneys, crickets.

I don't know. He's probably back wherever he's from. He's probably back there in his hometown. What is his hometown? I don't know. He started off at Indiana, then he went to Cincinnati. Is he from Gary? Is he a Midwest kid?

I don't know. Soresby is. Oh, fuck. He was born in Denton. That's right He's a Texas kid Oh In Lake Dallas kid

He's probably back there if I had to guess Damn In Dallas Should have known Did you see the Did you see the lady Who risked it all to get a New York Knicks

Trashcan At the parade I missed it Talk to me about it She's now missing her job But she's been fired from JPMorgan Chase. Yeah, this is her.

So for the parade, they did a limited time ceremonial, New York Knicks colored trash cans, which everybody said, yeah, people are going to steal those. Because of course. So she dumped out all the trash in order to steal it?

Yeah. What a scummy, scummy thing to do. A Japanese fan would never. The first thing I thought of was like, how I don't care about stealing never go down. I don't care about stealing the trash can so much, but I do care about dumping the trash all over the street for someone else to pick up while you do so.

What a shitty fucking move. Yeah, I miss this somehow. She was a executive director of, I think I'm putting it simply, but she was like a diversity, DEI exec, per the New York Post for J.P. Morgan Chase. And they've since let her go. J.P. Morgan, an executive director. It's a good position. I'm sure it paid well.

New York City. What is she doing? For a trash can. At least try to do it in the middle of the night where no one can see you. That thing wasn't going to make it to the middle of the night. I would love to know how many actually got stolen. But just in broad daylight with cameras pointing out. Everybody's got cameras dumping out the trash in your own hometown.

You shouldn't do that in any town, but your own hometown. That is absolutely a fireable offense. I hate when people lose their job over shit like this, but it's also like, I mean, what did you, that's brazen. What are you fucking doing? It's for a trash can. Why, just, just go paint one yourself. What are you going to do with that trash can?

You got it, you can't just put that back in your, in your flat. It's not like a, you got to clean it out. It's got trash in it. It's not like a cool collector's item. It's a trash can. No, it is a collector's item. I don't know if it's that cool, though. It's a, it's cool.

It's a, dude, you just won your title. You're in New York City. It's a Knicks colored trash can. And she's with, looks like she's with her husband or something who's just kind of there. Do they walk off together? What you do with that trash can is you do your best to clean it out. You dump some dish soap in there, spray it down, although it's netted. So like it's going to be, you have to get in there on your hands and knees and scrub it.

You flip it over and you use it maybe as like a nightstand or you put it in your little office. Like there's a guy right now in New York City, some big dog who got away with it, didn't do it in broad daylight. And now has this in his office. And it's like a talking piece. The more I'm watching this, the more irritated I'm getting with this woman. And this is such an awful move. Just dumping trash on the street. In Japan, this is a life sentence.

Indeed. You know, it's funny, there's one little, little napkin that didn't come out. And I hope that she had to pick that out of herself. I hope it was very smelly. Is she getting in charge with anything because of this? Maybe. She should be. I mean, yeah, theft, very least.

Public property. Littering in. Littering in. Littering. That's the most egregious littering I've ever seen in my life. Grand Trash Auto. I don't know if it's grand trash auto. Trash can auto.

There's no automobile. It's in New York City, honestly. Probably doesn't even out of car. What an idiot. Toth. She had a good job, man. Yeah. Good luck getting hired.

I don't know. Debital. Some fit she has on, too. It's a dog. I got to say the fits. We haven't even addressed the fit. No. It's not great.

I talked to one of a one of the first. Rhodes friend's dad his dad and he's in New York he's a New Yorker he lives here now and he said he's like I was there after he's like I was there for business and he's like we just didn't go to bed and we were up till like 5 a.m. It sounds awful but also I get it. City was electric. God. I saw our guy the Spurs Spurs the Rodman jersey guy. Oh yeah? Spurs fan in quotes. He got in with a low-level wrestling organization. I saw him enter the ring and clean house. Was he wearing the Rodman jersey?

Yeah, you have to. You have to. You have to. You have to. That's part of the lore now. This is all part of his play. Yeah. Part of my play is to just absolutely hit cups with my meridian potter.

Yeah. Look you there. There's yours right there. Which one do you got? That's the Key West, man. You got the Key West? Yeah. You've been rolling them?

True? Let me take her clothes off real quick. that's one way to yeah you're talking about the head cover of course head cover yeah i want to show you the goods little tequila you never know yeah there you go that's the qs yeah bob you've got the nassau i believe did you see the reddit again with the reddit somebody on there was talking about how they've been playing the for three years meridian got it before we even uh entertained huh and says he's absolutely just pin hunting with them pin hunting cup hunting cup hunting cup hunting golfers out there know the prices of golf equipment just seem to be going up.

And yes, I am using the Nassau, and I love it. I was rolling it on the little loop

at Port A. Oh shit. Yep. Wow. Fantastic. Meridian putters, check them out. Okay. Well, let's, of course, close it down with more Austin Powers Top.

Why not? Friend of the show, Brandon. Bro Bible Brandon. Nice guy. Been internet friends for a while. We've got a chance to grab beers with them a couple years ago. Great, dude. Got married recently.

And, of course, what do you do when you get married? You hire an Austin Powers impersonator for your wedding. It's a good one, too. Hey, baby. How many people are here for the first time? Prouds, dude. That's a good. How many people are here for the last time?

Oh, look at the baby. Hello, baby. I hope you don't know who I am. You know who I am? You know who I am? All right, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the dance floor. The very groovy, a very tight and sensual. Mr. and Mrs. Brandon, Wenner, baby.

Look it good. Fucking loves this, man. He does look good. Rob-laws, please. Introduced a couple for the first time you get Austin Power. So, great. It's, it's, everybody likes it. It's certainly very memorable.

It's something like my parents know, they know Austin Powers, Randy's generation. They know Austin Powers. This is the kind of thing, like 20 years from now, his boys will be playing golf. Like, do you remember when you had Austin Powers do your wedding? That was so sick. He stuck around, too. the whole reception. He was dancing.

Sounds like he was a little hoarse, too. He might have had a big night out. Is this going viral yet because it should be? It was doing numbers. It was incredible. We'll repost it on our story. Congratulations. Congrats to Brandon.

Yeah, who are you? You asked this question before the show, but who, which impersonator are you bring in for your wedding? I think, I think Trump would be a mega hit because he's. A manga hit. Oh. He's just. He's such a character, but also, like, I don't know.

It would be hilarious. Dude, you'd probably get canceled for that. But there's definitely been people that have had Trump at their wedding. They're impersonators. It doesn't have to mean you agree with everything Trump related to. I choose not to platform. Excuse me. Excuse me.

What a tremendous couple. Yeah, like the bits would be like too easy. He's just a dickhead. Yeah. And you're like, would you fucking stop? This stage is the biggest stage I've ever seen. Maybe if you're a big Chelsea Clinton fan, you could get Goulain Maxwell, who was famously at her wedding.

So you could have a Gleine Maxwell impersonator. No, there's no Gleine Maxwell impersonator. No. That would be a bad one. Human trafficker alleged. It's a beautiful, beautiful venue. We love the venue, right? We love the venue.

It's not nice as Mar-a-Lago. We have a couple weddings there, but it's tremendous. I would go down the middle. I'm going a beloved president. I'm going Grover Cleveland. Yeah. Austin Powers is... No, JFK impersonator might be kind of fun.

I think a walk-in impersonator would be... Oh, Obama would be good. Good. Congratulations. He wears... What if he wore a tan suit? You're like, ah. Tan suit, man.

That's right. You can't do that. It's a black tie wedding. We're all mad about you, dude. This is like the worst thing that's ever. happen where we cannot forgive this brown suit tan suit does anybody remember that yeah of course a big thing it was a big deal christopher walking yeah that would be killer oh what would that sound like though dude i'm so bad at it what would that sound like though congratulations oh to the bride and grow

okay lovely couple for the first time for the first time that's john travolta also might be a good one The JFK... Gangerfield? Uh, you said, not enough people know who that is. Whoa. I got a to tell you. You would, with the, with the boomers would dig it. The boomers would love it.

Jeff Goldblum would be a good one. Yes. Would it? He's, he's a... I don't have a gold bloom in. The fly? Yes, yes. I think, uh, yeah, well, here's the thing.

I think, you look at, think about it this way. You got two couples and they're, they're attracted to each other chemically. Chemicals, sir. That's my goal. Life finds a way. Um, love. finds a way. JFK, you'd be like, where did our guy go?

And he's just, he's just hooking up with a bridesmaid. Yeah. The bosomime. You're like, oh, yeah, he does it all, folks. He's killing it. This guy, yeah, he's really in character. The maid of honor just ran off a JFK, or JFK impersonator. His name's actually Larry.

By the way, when the Dustin Porier video started, it looked like Channing Tatum to me. It looked alike. They've got similar face and head. and earshaves. I'm surprised you didn't get a Cat Williams impersonator at your wedding. We didn't get a Cat Williams. The intro would be fire.

To Cat Williams? The way he takes a stage for a stand-up set. Sure. It's my favorite. This is good. I wonder, what do you, let's an impersonator run you? A couple hundred an hour?

I was going to say 300 an hour, but that might be high. I mean, you got the whole outfit, you're not booking a lot of gigs, right? So you've got to charge a lot. I don't know, man. Ever since the guy who just invites impersonators to, like, hang out with him, and then he posts the reels. Like, I think they're having a moment.

I feel like it's been a very good last six months for these things. I'm trying to see if I can find out. Because this is the guy. You probably cut a deal with him to post his stuff. He is the guy that is always, is always impersonating. And like, if I see real. So I'm trying to figure out if I can find out, like, how much? Have you guys seen the video of the Michael Jackson?

impersonator walking upon another Michael Jackson impersonator and he stares at him like like he's the real Michael Jackson and he's so impressed with this guy's work. That's a good bit. It's so funny. Like dude, you're not actually him, you know. Are you on, are you logged in and circling back on? Yeah. Will you share that video, the Bro Bible Brandon video?

Just straight to the story. Yeah. We could just call him Brandon. We don't have to call him Bro Bible. I still call him Bro Bible Brandon. Yeah. Triple B. Great dude.
