All right, we're back. Circling Back podcast presented by Vizzy Hard Seltzer, the only hard seltzer with vitamin C and superfruit acerola. My name's Will DeFries to my right, David Ruff. I'm going to expose you real quick. David, it's so early on a Wednesday to expose me. Coming out hot. We haven't been in the stew for a non-paywall episode in a minute. Dylan hasn't done a non-paywall episode for two weeks.

Yeah, they're calling him PD Paywall. No one's calling him that. Randy is like, you guys ready for the pod? I'm like, yeah. And Will, anticipating the countdown, said, oh, is it county time? Is it county time? Dude, the whole squad's on their county shit. No one has ever said. And if people wonder, I wonder if they abbreviate stuff and talk like this off mic.

We do. The answer is yes. More so, honestly. We say tinky when we're at the restaurant. Like, oh, I got to go get a tinky off. Yeah, and I'm worried that I do it so naturally at this point that I don't realize that I'm doing it when I'm around people that don't listen to the podcast at all.

It's like, oh, I'm going to go get a tink off. Yeah, what? There's a loading phase for the podcast, but there's also a loading phase for just real-life interactions. Yeah, just being friends. Yeah. Brittany's like, what are you saying? Like, oh, I'm sorry.

That's kind of podcast lingo. Her name's Bay, first and foremost. Bay, excuse me. I don't know why you're trying to shoehorn in weird-ass names. Another note. Something else. I'm just coming out of nowhere firing. I've got an announcement, Will. Okay.

Dylan, you'll be very happy to hear. Oh. will. Okay. Dylan, you'll be very happy to hear the State Fair of Texas is back in the fall at capacity. Full capacity. People mobbing.

And yes, that does include Big Tex. Masks are optional. Did they replace Big Tex's voice with someone else? Corpse of Big Tex. Of course, resurrected Walking Dead Big Tex. Masks not mandatory. Well, hello, folks. Have you read the Fauci emails?

Feel free not to wear your mask. Hey, since we did not do a Monday episode, I never got to tell everybody about my trip to Telly. Oh, dude. Or rubbing elbows with Vinny Chase next to Soho House. Yeah, you've been on one lately. Will and I have got another announcement. Thank you, David. Dave, I with Vinny Chase next to Soho House. Yeah, you've been on one lately. Will, and I've got another announcement. Thank you, David. Dave, I thought it was my turn to talk.

The store-bought H-E-B pre-made deli pasta salad is fantastic. Really? This note sucks. Yes. I like that. Oh, my God. If you're in a pinch, if your baby's been giving you trouble because of the sleep regression. You're giving him pasta? Nope, but it's great when you're in a pinch and if your baby's been giving you trouble because of the sleep regression. You're giving him pasta?

Nope, but it's great when you're in a pinch and you need a side dish and you don't have time to air fry something or do whatever it is you do. I was talking about telly, dog. You can talk about pasta. That's all I got, Will. Thanks, man. We really want to hear about it right now. And I'm back in on baked potatoes. Really?

No mistakes about it. We know. Baked potatoes stink, kind of. Low key. They're just all right. You're not loading them enough. Really? No, we know. We know. Baked potatoes stink, kind of. Low-key. They're just all right. You're not loading them enough. You're not taking your baked potato through the loading phase. I thrice-baked mine.

We've already talked about this. That's unnecessary. It's going to get dried out if you bake it thrice times. I'm a quad-bake. What? That's reckless. That's too many, dude. I quad-bake, then air-fry, then smoke.

Ooh, air-frying a twice-baked potato might hit different. That potato's just overcooked at this point, David. I'm sorry to say. Call it a fries bake. That's too much. Anyway, I did have a great time in Colorado. Thank you all for asking. You talked about this last week on the paywall pod.

How do you get to Telluride? We just flew. No, but where do you fly into and then what do you do? That's my biggest question. We went Austin to Denver, Denver to Montrose, and we drove about an hour 20 minutes to Telly. Telly does have an airport. I feel like- A very dangerous airport to fly into, actually.

I don't know anything about Montrose, but I feel like the Denver to Montrose flight's really expensive. Montrose sounds wealthy. Real true story. My flight altogether, $198. Facts? That's big facts. I flew United.

It's just facts, dog. I thought Will was going to ask if you took a helicopter. Why is it so dangerous to fly to Talley? Is it just a nosedive into the airport? So you know that picture I took from up on the mountains with the fire and you're overlooking? By the way, the mountain in the distance, Mount Wilson, is the Coors Light logo mountain. It's pretty cool. Really?

They named it after Fritz. Mount Wilson. Wow, that was fast. That sucked. You're quick on your feet. That sucked. Anyway, I've done worse. My pundit game is at Randy's level today.

Are you saying there's fire on the mountain? We made a fire on the mountain, yeah. Dude, very cool, Dave. From up there, we saw a plane landing at the Telly Airport. And it's just like bobbing and weaving through mountains to get to this runway that's very small. It's kind of wild. Have you ever flown into J-Hole before? No.

It's an absolute nosedive between a mountain range. That's kind of sick. It's really absolute nosedive between a mountain range. That's kind of sick. It's really sick, but like... But like, please don't kill us. Yeah. The time that we flew in, I've never been in a plane that rattled more as we were going down. And I was like, oh, this plane might just go straight into the ground. Yeah.

Sally had to... She was trying to fly into Aspen one time, and they had to reroute and go to Denver and then drive to Aspen. She didn't have her pilot's license. Yeah. What's she doing? That'd be really convenient if she did it would be i kind of want to get mine nurse mother pilot can i get mine you should do it over the weekend yeah it's easy just do some laps and talk to bluto bluto can get you um all suited up can he be my pilot guide yeah he'll be like you know you need like a rec for the Soho house? He'll be your rec for pilot house. So we're applying, right?

Soho house? Already did. Oh, the application's in, bitch. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it this afternoon. Yeah, like I was saying, we saw Vinny Chase. If I get in, I hope they let me know so they don't automatically charge my credit card because I'm not sold that I want to pay that money. Right, right.

But like, you know, I mean, I want to get it out there. Did you enter your information in? It's kind of like when I – this is exactly like the time in seventh grade when I tried out for the basketball team just to see if I could make A-team. And then I quit. And then I went to go on the ski team instead. And I did make the A-team for those wondering. A-team? You couldn't even make a team.

Dude, come on. I made the A-team, dog. I was, like, second to last man in. Wait, what sport is this? Basketball, dude. Dude, I bet y'all were sick. You don't think Harbor had a good squad? If Will's on the A-team, they weren't like, oh, man.

They weren't like throwing down in warm-ups, you know what I'm saying? Dude, what's your problem, dude? There is no risk of a technical foul being called before the game started. No. Well, so we were actually in the regional finals one year, and we were down one. And our best player got the ball at half court. He stole the ball at half court on an inbound pass, and he went and he dunked it, and the crowd went absolutely wild. And then we were going so crazy that no one could hear the whistle blow,

and he traveled. And after the game, someone was like, did you know you traveled? He's like, yeah, I just wanted to throw it down, though, so everyone would go crazy. Dude, that's sick. Dude, he wanted to get the momentum back. He was built different. Shouts to G.O.

God, when someone dunks, like, unexpectedly in, like, you know, a couple of just lame-ass schools. Why do you have to go to Harvard? I'm not saying Harvard. We're not lame-ass, dude. My school applied as well, just to, like, you know well. Just to a bunch of unathletic white kids. The 6'8 guy who has a six-inch vertical and just throws down a little two-hander, that doesn't do it. We didn't have a 6'8 guy, though. You gotta have a 6'1 dude with hops. I think our center was 6'4. A 6'1 dude who doesn't break his leg trying to do it. We had 6'4". We had 6'4". And he was going up. That's pretty good.

I mean, you know. He was good. That's good. He was good. He's not in the league or anything. But he was good. He's not? Nah.

How many Harvard guys were in the league? Nah, Greg didn't go to the league. Greg Ostertag? I'm not going to out his full name. I feel like I don't want to get doxxed or anything. Swatted. Don't swat people, by the way. What is that? God, dude. Listen to our episodes one time or anything. Swatted. Don't swat people, by the way. What is that?

I just did this. You've done this twice. Do you not listen to the episodes when you're out of town? I did listen to them. I wouldn't if I were you. I listen to every single one. Hear how good they are. I know y'all talk shit.

Do you have any telly recs for the people out there? Because it's mainly just me asking because I don't want to go to Telluride after seeing your pics. My recs are just go to Telluride because it's absolutely beautiful. Okay. I've been all over Colorado, and as far as natural aesthetics go, it's the prettiest place I've been. Hey guys, I've been all over Colorado,

okay? No, I haven't been everywhere. I haven't been to Crested Butte or Aspen. Oh, okay. Oh, you haven't been to Aspen? I've been everywhere else, though. Pretty sure. Yeah. Resort towns, that is. Like mountain ski towns. Aspen's sick, but I wouldn't say it was the most beautiful place I've ever been.

But it's absolutely gorgeous. I want to go back. A lot of people were saying that. I go back. A lot of people were saying Telly's a lot prettier. I go back. Just saying. That's Kenny Chesney.

Keg in the closet. Dylan's on the floor. I don't know. Leftover from the night before I don't know that particular song. What is that? Keg in the closet You've never heard keg in the closet?

Why don't you step on me mentioning that I was next to Vinny Chase? Because nobody cares. Oh, people care about Vinny Chase. Oh, yeah! A very handsome man. If I name dropped every celeb I was next to at restaurants,

Vinny Chase would be like three hours long. That's a cool one. He lives here. He has a house here. He literally lives here. People see him in gas stations and shit, dog. Oh, he gets gas here? That's crazy.

I'm surprised he gets gas. He seems like an electric vehicle type guy. He was the one who was like anti-straw. He was on a big anti-straw campaign. Yeah, straws are out. But then he got sniped in a gas station like the following weekend holding like a water bottle. He's very small. Did he smell? I asked you this and I feel like

you didn't smell him properly. So he's small? He's a small lad. He's like Matthew McConaughey. He's a noted no deodorant boy. I would have guessed 6'2". No, no, no, no. Who's here? Is A-Town here? Peace up! A-Bomb just walked in. He's a little lad.

That's interesting. Like how little? Like you're the height guy. Like a short king or like shorter guy? He is 5'8", 145 pounds. Oh, shit. He's a little lad. He's not even in my weight class.

No, you would work that. Dave would peace up Adrian Green? He ain't even in me class. This guy does not want a piece of Dave, I'll tell you that. Ghost status. Ghost status. Ghost status. Who did we say was ghost status? One of the dudes on The Bachelor.

Was it Jeff? We need to figure out which one it was so that I could laugh at that every single time. Why was that so funny? I don't know. That's the hardest I've laughed on this pod. Actually, this is a good segue to our programming notes. If you're a Bachelor or Bachelorette fan, we got good news for you. Bachelor is returning, or Bachelorette is returning on Monday.

We recorded a little preview episode going through all the guys with the real cat patch. She's the one who lives tweets for us throughout the entire season. It was fun. We had fun. It's fun to have fun. It's so fun to have fun. I don't know. It's a lot more fun making fun of the guys than it is the ladies because the guys are just douchebags.

If you're into dudes talking about dudes, you're going to love that episode. And let me just clear the air here. If you have some inclination that we're not going to track packages, like if you think that that's something we're not going to do, you're wrong. Not a single package went untracked. No. UPS hit us with the number, and we popped it in there on the little search bar, and we searched it on their webpage.

Is there anything more devastating than when you try to track a package and you click on it, and then it just says that the label's been created? Yeah. It's like, dog. That's not helpful. Well, thank you for notifying me that it's been created. You printed it out on your printer, on your Epson. Wow.

You think they use Epsom? Probably not Epsom. Epson. Epsom salt. I don't think they ship Epson? Probably not Epson. Epson. Epson salt. I don't think they ship it with salt. Salt? Why do you say salt? Because you said small.

My game is salty. It's not. Dude, it's salty. My game. Patreon.com slash circling back podcast. If you're missing the worst of, just keep an eye out. Just keep an eye out. And even if you don't like Bachelor, like you don't watch, there's a lot of people who like,

I don't even really watch the show. I might watch like 10 minutes of an episode here or there. Still listen to the pods and enjoy it. Things are opening up now, which means that group dinner's going to be happening. And when The Bachelor's in season and a group dinner goes off, everyone knows that The Bachelor's going to get talked about in some capacity. Talking points. And you don't want to be the person that's just

sitting there with your thumb up your ass just being like, I don't watch The Bachelor. You can just repeat our takes and claim them as your own because nobody will know the difference. We will license our takes to you. We give you full license to use our takes. And trust me, you want our takes. Our takes are like NFTs but free. They're the sickest takes in the game. If you need takes on some guy named Jeff Shoulders, like, we got you.

Interpretive dance? No, I think if one of my boys did that, we would have had to heat check him. That was a thing. It's like, dog, what are you doing? That dude with the frame that dude has and wearing two chains outside the shirt and the high top fade, and he's a dancer, he's not doing interpretive dance. You know what I'm saying? Wow, judging a book by its cover.

So are you. Do you not get oiled up before you come in the studio? Maybe you should. You heat check your friend? Yeah.

You can't just be learning the Napoleon Dynamite dance. Like, come on, dog. Dude, Jamiroquai. Were you the guy that learned today? No. I think they came out after I was in high school. Napoleon Dynamite? Are you trying to say Jamiroquai doesn't bop virtual no no no no i'm not that is not what we're saying at all i love them jamiroquai is great jamiroquai is a frequent

He loves putting up big boy weights and Michael Bublé and shit. Keg in the closet. Pizza on the floor. That song is like all of our college careers, man. Dude, who ordered pizza last night? You couldn't understand because all we ever wanted was that keg in the closet.

Sam Hunt has a new song where he talks through half of it. I don't fucking get it. It makes me so angry. He finally talks about his brother. It makes me so angry. What's his brother's name? Michael. Okay.

If you listen to Sam Hunt, your opinion on anything is just trash. Oh, people can take any of our- Did you ever check out my Sam Chase rec? Guilty pleasures and- Sam Chase? Dude, come on. You just don't take me seriously anymore. I give you recommendations for shit, and you just don't care.

Is that S. Chase? God. I forgot who he is. Go follow Circling Back and watch me on the Grom. Add me on the group. Also, go check us out on TikTok. We're doing straight numbies over there. Shouts to Randy and the interns.

I can't get over the fact that Adrian Grenier is 5'8". Green yay, dude. Whatever. Green yay. Dumbass. Just call him Vinny Chase. I don't know. I don't even know how tall he was. He's got swag, though.

I'm not going to lie. He had some... Dude, does he have BDE? Oh, dude. BDE is so epic. He had a young lady on his arm. She wasn't ugly. Surprise.

Oh, really? The guy from Entourage isn't just slaying? It wasn't Emily Ratajkowski, though. Really? She's not cheating on her husband and estranged from her new child? Yeah, like from the show. They had a thing. Dude, can I steam real quick on Emily Ratajkowski?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. They had a thing on the show? On Entourage? I didn't realize she was even a part of that. Oh, yeah. Was she? Oh, yeah. They, like, dated on the show.

Damn, she's got longevity. Go ahead and steam that. She's a gone girl too. Okay, if you're not going to put your kid on social media, then just don't put your kid on social media. I feel like covering your kid's face up with a... Dude, drag her. Why are you covering your kid's face up with a baby emoji?

That's just a weird move to me. And you just got heat checked, Amrata. Just like don't do that. Just do anything but. Will's straight up bully ball well can't you just like post photos where your kid's face isn't just like in the in the photo like how bad do you want to post that you cover with the baby emoji we'll recognize the the uh the matchup nightmare for the opposing team he said just toss it to me in the post mouse in the house can you imagine this kid if you're like whatever like fucking toto radikowski

It's like you have one of the biggest Instagram followings out there and you're not going to post me? Like, no, I'm trying to get my clout score up. Yeah. My clout score.

What if the name was Roddy Ratajkowski? That's a pretty good name. Roddy? Roddy. Like R-O-D-D-Y? Yeah. Isn't there a wrestler by that name? Roddy Roddy Piper.

Yeah. Roddy Roddy Piper. She's Sylvester Sly. Sly Rodda. Is the last name Radikowski or is it her husband's name? I don't know. It says that his name is Sylvester Apollo Bear. Okay.

You should have taken us up on it when you had the chance. Not our problem. It's yours. YouTube.com slash watchmedia. Go like and subscribe for Randy tell a friend about the podcast that's the most

important thing I had someone reach out to me about telling their friends about the podcast tell us how the conversation went how'd that go yeah

to be honest I forgot it's in my DMs and I was meaning to bring it up for this pod it did go well that's a sick anecdote it did go well

he was telling his clients about us he was doing business I don't know if that's what you should do. Clients can be friends, too. Ladies is pinched, too, for sure. There it is.

I beat you to it. Hey, let's talk about Taft real quick. You guys familiar with Taft? Of course I am. It's a DTC. Do you know what DTC stands for? Direct to Consumer. Oh, okay.

Don't ask us. So you're not paying a middleman to give you these boots? You know how we feel about middlemen. Remove the middleman. It's a men's footwear brand specializing in unique, bold boot and shoe designs. They're all uniquely designed, and they design with boldness in mind to ensure that all of their products are as unique and stylish as their customers. I mean, I think we could be described as unique and stylish.

Yeah, that's definitely how people describe us. You're not going to find these anywhere else, guys. Every single detail of the shoes is considered. Mine are dope, and I might debut them at Micah's wedding later this year. Catch me electric sliding in my taffs. That's all I'm going to say. I'm so glad they hit us up and are working with us because the shoe gain that Dylan was bringing to the table was just subpar.

I don't think that's part of the copy here. It's just an anecdote. Well, no, Dylan was wearing leathers that weren't full grain, which all Taft boots are. It does not grip grain. They were like partial grain. It's true. Yeah, and your shoes and boots definitely weren't Blake-stitched.

Okay, again, this doesn't need to be about me. I'm just trying to get you some longevity and added flexibility. Definitely. Were your soles ever made from Staft leather with rubber injections for traction? No, but they are now, so give me a break. I'm trying to give you a break, but how are you going to, if you have such good traction, then how are you going to electric slide so easily?

You're going to have to wear these things in before debuting them at Michael's wedding. OK. I will. Is Mike going to do any karaoke at his wedding? That would be electric. These products are built to last. Like we said, they source the highest quality materials

in the world to make shoes and boots that we all can wear for a very, very long time. These are the highest quality.

Well, for two, Mike is sweating. Thanks, guys. Well, I don't own thatibs wearing the Monaco Lofur 2, Micah's Wedding Thanks guys Must be nice, man Must be nice I actually own that one So I guess I'm not going to wear it Very sick, Dave, thank you for that You big jerk

Dave's not a very good friend, man Have you guys heard what's going on? Uh, no Oh yeah, A- We know that. Hey, wait. Have you guys heard? Have you guys heard what's going on? No. Oh, yeah. A-Town's here. Wait, did we just... Are we at the club right now? I think I'm on the Jersey Shore.

Yeah, you know, it's weird. It's tough. Wait, why are you Russian all of a sudden? I'm not. No, it's me. You've been spending a lot of time

at that Russian bar. It's time for some bar reviews. Stop doing your stripper PA voice. It's time for some bar reviews. Stop doing your stripper voice. This is not. This is radio promo for a cocktail lounge voice. Next on the stage, Davey.

Reviewing bars. What kind of bars? Like kind of toolish ones? Douchebags. I kind of like Thule bar. tool-ish ones? Douchebags. I kind of like tool-y bar. Let's hit the douchebag button. And luckily, the song that we're using for our intro is 38 minutes long, so we can let it ride the entire time.

That's why I picked it. You can just go with the rest of the epi. This is perfect. I think there might be some vocals, so you may want to keep it a little low. But people need to hear it. What language do you use? Adds to the ambience is it russian what does that even mean what does it matter if it's russian just because you're doing a russian

accent i don't know shut up you're the one who's always rushing to get out of here that is true got him no we're we're doing something we've we've done before and and it's a lot of fun. We're just taking a look, perusing some of our local watering holes, some that we frequent, some that we don't, and we're just checking the best and the worst reviews, and we're reading them. We're just offering them up. We're not paid. This is non-spawn by anyone. I don't know if based on the reviews that we're about to read about these bars

that they would want to spawn us. Their competitors might have spawned it. Yeah. If they haven't. Can I request that you do this entire thing in the Stefan voice? No, I can't. I'll switch it. I'll do different.

I'll switch it up. Okay. Depending on. I can't wait for this. When Bill Hader went away, is that when SNL really took their biggest hit? When they couldn't have Stefan just get the layup laughs? Not that they were layups.

Stefan, Californians, Chris Hansen. Any skit they do where you know that they're going to break character and laugh. Like, Stephon, he always broke character. Well, it's because he didn't read the stuff before. They didn't show him what the lines were. So it was a surprise to him every single time he went up on stage. I didn't know that tidbit. That's incredible.

I hated when Jimmy Fallon would break character. Loved it when Bill Hader broke character. That's because Jimmy Fallon did it when he knew that the skit wasn't hitting very well, so he was like, I'm just going to break and make other people laugh. He still breaks. Jimmy Fallon stinks. You know what? I'm a Jimmy Fallon fan.

That makes a lot of sense. Do you not stay up late enough to actually watch the show, so you watch the YouTube clips in the morning? My YouTubes. Do you not stay up late enough to actually watch the show so you watch the YouTube clips in the morning? My YouTubes. Do you stay up and watch that? Do you DVR it? I haven't watched Jimmy Fallon in a very long time, but I used to watch him weekly. Not nightly, but a few times a week.

Did you guys grow up with Leno in your house or Letterman in your house? We were a Letterman house. We had a little bit of both of them. You guys hear about that? My dad was heavy Leno. You guys hear about that? My dad was heavy Leno. We were Letterman, and I think the political shift might have turned off some people in my household.

Was it you? No. Was it Dave just sitting there? Yeah, his little V is like, keep politics out of my comedy. You guys hear about these bar reviews? Yeah, I know. Here we go. So, yeah, we're going to review bars. Right.

Or we could just talk late night. So, yeah, we're going to review bars. Right. Or we could just talk late night. I just like the idea that Dylan records. I told you there's vocals. I like the idea that Dylan records Fallon and then plays the monologue as he's, like, cooking breakfast. And he just starts cracking up.

Stop it. Dylan's over there in the griddle or whatever it is, the microwave probably, just cracking up. Just cooking up dino nugs. What are you doing? Why are you doing that? Did you see how good that flicker pancake was? I can actually see it. It was the omelet.

It was the omelet. Baker Mayfield over here. All right, first bar. God, now this thing is opening up. I can't wait to go to a hotel and go to the omelet station without a fucking mask on. It's going to be the best. I need to do a buffet soon. Boys, this is the Austin edition.

Oh, these are all in Austin? All Austin. We're hashtag eat, drink, local. Hashtag. Are we going to bounce around to different cities? Potentially. Reach out to us with your next bar in your next city. So that's the voice you're looking for.

This is more cool. Dave. Brand new bar opening. That is the strip club PA voice. How do you know that so well? Because it's the same voice in every one. People know what I'm talking about. You respect my nuance.

I'm just saying. First bar. Next on the stage, candy. Codependent cocktails and coffee. See, I've never been here. Oh, this is one of Bae's favorite spots. Her friends go here. I hope all of these are her favorite spots.

I hope she doesn't listen to this. This review is from Justin B. She probably stopped listening after you disrespected her by calling her Brittany earlier, not Bae. I'm sorry, Bae. By who? Justin who? Justin B. Bieber?

Beeps? Let's find out. Came in on a weeknight. He's got a big Yelp presence. Maybe it's Justin Berlander. You got to think it's not Justin Berlander you gotta think it's not Berlander he says came in on a weeknight trying to get some work done ahead of a busy work week fuck dude just grinding yeah Justin's grinding his little dick off grind boy shit Justin does well uh

was told no laptops after six place was empty if you serve coffee at night, you might expect a few people to try to get some work done. Dumb policy. How many stars did he give it? One star. Don't get me wrong. I don't like when people are at the bar at night with their laptop open. But if it's empty and you're just drinking some coffee somewhere, let the man open his laptop.

You know what? There's a number of reviews who are not happy about this policy. Not bae. Brett has been here a couple times recently as well. Brett's just getting out there. He is. He's mixing it up. He's really on the Soho short list.

It's like he's going to the bars that people, the starter kit for going to Soho. He's under review. Yeah. Before this podcast, Brett asked me for any downtown recommendations for bars and stuff. I was like, this should be the opposite. I have a child at home, and I haven't been to a restaurant without that child in weeks. I need the reviews from you. All right.

Tell me how many stars you think this is. I wonder. This is from Adele L. in Corpus Christi, Texas. Is this for codependent as well? She might be working the rigs from 3 to midnight as we speak. I don't get the reference, but that sounds cool. We go to get our drinks. Did you say you went 3 to midnight recently?

He's talking about an erection. Yeah, we're talking boners. Sorry. We go to get our drinks and they're made wrong since the workers are too busy talking to properly do anything. Wait, where is this again? Have you said yet? Codependent. Literally the same bar.

Oh, I thought you switched bars. Okay. The music is really bad. Like, whoever chose the playlist must have chose the horrendous art on the walls, too. The setup is really cute, besides the ugly rug in the back. Oh. Why do you have to goad them so hard? Uh, the coffee has a bunch of fancy names and stuff, but the latte tasted off, and the

iced coffee is worse than gas station iced coffee, which I only took a sip of once and threw in the trash. Don't come here for coffee. Okay, first of all, everyone knows that gas station coffee is built different. Like, gas station coffee is diesel fuel. If you are too good for gas station coffee, you have a problem.

People need to stop shitting on gas station coffee. We had it, gas station and harbor we had, had the campfire blend, and that shit had drugs in it. It was like Adderall. It was the strongest coffee I've ever had, and if you were struggling, you just got yourself a campfire blend. And that shit had drugs in it. It was like Adderall. It was the strongest coffee I've ever had. And if you were struggling,

you just got yourself a campfire blend and just went in. Don't put Adderall in your coffee. And my trips to Arlington, which I took many trips to Arlington because that's where my ex-wife is from. I would always hit the QT on the way out and I looked forward to it.

That was like one of the highlights of my trip, man. I hit the QT, load up on a big ass coffee. No one's always hitting up QTs. Yeah, why are you hitting QTs up on the way out, dog? Come on, dude. I was with my wife at the time. What's a QT? QT, it's a convenience store.

People know. I only go to Bucky's. Dave knows. They used to call me the Bucky's bandit. Really, why? I fucking love Stoltman. I have a love-hate with Bucky's. I hate, hate Bucky's.

I hate Bucky's because Micah has ruined them for me by exposing them. But I do like the convenience of being able to do the bad stuff in their bathroom. The Buc-ee's bathroom. The clean bathroom. They're goaded, the bathrooms. The bathroom is straight-up goat status. Micah hyped Buc-ee's up a lot one time. Aren't they open 24 hours?

They're supposed to be? I don't know. And I went to one one time, and it was late at night. I was driving home from Houston after seeing Sally, and I was trying to get into it because Mike was talking about Bucky's so much, but it was locked, and I just felt like I was locked out of heaven. Okay. Okay, that is funny to five people.

Bucky's, it's really easy. Not funny to one person. It's really easy to go in there without a plan and leave there with like $84 worth of just absolutely nothing. Drop $38 on jerky. Yes. Yeah, the fresh beef jerky. Not fresh, but the beef jerky and then like a six-pound bag of Chex Mix.

And like some dog treats. Three different coffee drinks. And a cooler from like the Arctic, not Yeti. And then some Bucky swag, a hat or a bumper sticker. How are you – okay, can we circle back to this review real quick? He did the thing. What? I feel like if you're reviewing somewhere,

I feel like reviewing the rug in the back of the restaurant shouldn't make the cut of complaints on the review that you're doing. You're doing too much. You're paying too much attention. You're looking for something to bitch about. You're nitpicking. A rug in the back. Yeah, who cares?

Keg in the closet, rug in the back. I will say, I've been to this establishment two times, and I had a fine time each time. Oh, I've been two times. Oh, look at me. I go to the coffee and cocktail lounge. Well, I told you, Baylor's- Oh, everyone. Is this in between your chips to tell you right

and must be nice man okay let's do a straight up bar let's do a a formally controversial we won't get into that because i think it's under new management unbelievable is it really under new management i don't know i don't want to because the last owners were racist allegedly super races don't know that i don't know if it was allegedly. We don't know who it was. We're talking swastikas. That was the servers. That was the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of the...

They not only are still around, they have a second location on West 6th, which I've never been to. Which is what we all wanted was another Unbarlievable. It's circus themed, by the way. Say whatever you want. It's circus themed. People enjoy that bar. I've been only a couple times. They have a slide.

So quirky. Say what you want about the bar. It could be the coolest bar in the world inside. All-time bad bar name. Unbarlievable. It might be so bad that it's good. I don't even barlieve it. If you're going to do a pun like that, you've got to leave it to the wild boys when they went to Belize and just let them say it's unbelievable the entire time.

Nobody's wilder than the wild boys. That's funny. It was the best. Yeah. Okay. This is actually not a – well, just hold on. Let's just – let's feel it out. So this bar is really cool and fun.

They play good music. But my sister ordered a pretzel with some sauces. You guys like pretzels? Soft or hard? I don't know. You got to think it was soft. Probably soft. We're soft. Dylan got roasted recently for categorizing these incorrectly.

Dylan's like, yeah, you know those big-ass pretzels? I'm like, dude, they're called soft pretzels. But they're big, though. The sauces felt warm, like they weren't refrigerated and just kind of left out. We bought other things, and we were all fine. But this pretzel and the sauces made my sister diarrhea and vomit. Okay, you don't have to throw your sister under the bus here. Well, hold on.

We're just getting started. Just say sick. Dylan, her face was so pale, I thought she would pass out. After she vomited her food, she immediately looked and felt better. In conclusion, nice place, but don't trust the sauces. Ew, by the way, she only had one drink. By the way, included a photo of said sister hunched over a pretzel. Not kidding.

Oh my God. Who in their right mind is going to the restaurant, ordering a hot pretzel, and then complaining that the sauces are not cold enough? It's like, no, I want my sauces freezing cold. Maybe ordering a pretzel at a bar. Figure it out. Okay, let's talk about this sister real quick, though. She was wrong so hard here.

It's bad enough to say your sister got diarrhea, but to include a picture of – Is her face in the – The profile, like, I mean, I – You should have M-rodded her. Yeah, you got to include a picture of... Is her face in the... The profile, like, I mean, I... You should have M-Rotted her. Yeah, you gotta emoji that face. Toss the barf emoji on her face. I imagine her sister just, like, stumbling upon this review.

Oh, okay. This next one, I think we've all been to this bar. You, like, Google your brother's name and it's just a photo of you puking at Unbarlievable. Talking about how you got diarrhea at the bar whiskey tango foxtrot diarrhea wtf right is what cool people call it you want to go to wtf they're really lucky that in this segment that they came after unbarlievable which unbarlievable is a worse bar name but wtf it's so stupid you know what that stands for that's not whiskey tang Tango Foxtrot.

What the F? Yeah. You can say fuck. This is an explicit podcast. Okay. This one's fun. Just right to the point, this bar deserves to go under immediately.

During a pandemic, most restaurants and bars are treating their customers with the utmost respect to keep clientele. Tonight, I witnessed the owner, all caps, pull the chair behind a customer, causing him to fall on his rear and fall on his spine.

Just to prove a point. That's a sick prank. Not only did he fall on his rear, he fell on his spine too. Wow. Dude, nothing worse than a spine fall. How do you just fall? Were they hunching their shoulders forward and they just went straight spine on them? Wow. Dude, nothing worse than a spine fall. How do you just fall? Were they hunching their shoulders forward and they just went straight spine on him?

Yeah, brace yourself, Don. It's spinal. It's spinal. It's spinal. This was something I have not witnessed since the second grade. The owner pulling the chair out behind a customer. Which is why it's funny. Blasphemy. It's freaking epic.

Yeah. I later confronted him saying, hey, let's hope he's not hurt or legal matters will be taken. And his response was, bring the customer another chair to sit in to be more comfortable. I recommend no one comes here unless they want a busted face or bottom, Dylan. So you don't want to come there unless you want a busted face? Or bottom. To be determined. To be determined, Colin.

Sorry. Oh. I love determined, colon. Sorry. Oh. I love you, Mom. We are currently at urgent care hoping for the best. Urgent care. Oh, so he did fall on his spine. Did they do an update to this Yelp review? Did not see a follow-up.

We didn't just make fun of somebody that died, right? It's final. It's final. Yeah, I mean, this person is implying that if you go to this bar like the owner's gonna prank you in some kind of way and it's gonna injure you okay like this person went to the hospital trying to get like a check cut from yeah hoping something was seriously wrong this is also from uh wtf and i swear to god all of these are real I did not write any of these however this one is from

David R in Houston Texas and I'm going to read it in the voice that I'm imagining this person speaks in this bar is the fucking tits if you want great customer service or pussy this place is where you want to be there is always live music and even comedy. The drinks are flowing and the

food is bussin'. Come down to WTF and wet your whistle and your pickle. Shit. That's a real review. He dropped a hard P in the review? I don't know if that's like satirical. This guy's an absolute wild boy. That is a wrap.

I want to go to WTF with David R. from Houston. Imagine signing up for Yelp and being like, yeah, connect with my Facebook. Let's see which of my friends are reviewing restaurants on here. And then you see David's review of just getting a bunch of pee at Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

The final, the sheet, like 8 H's, 12 E's. I didn't even do it justice. Is that the wire? It's like Clay Davis. Sheet. Sheet. All-time great character.

I actually know who that is, even though I haven't seen the wire. What season are you on? Cuatro. That's four, for those who don't know Spanish. Just wait. You've been saying that since season one. Couple more here. Okay. You've got saying that since season one. A couple more here. Okay.

You've got to be tired of waiting. This next one's from Concrete Cowboy. Oh, that place stinks. I've had some good nights at Concrete Cowboy. Have you? They were douchey nights, but yeah, they were fun. It's always so crowded, man. I think I've been there with you.

Probably. The last time I was there was with you. Okay. I don't like that. We left after getting a Miller Lite. No, that was Greenlight Social. Oh, you're right. We walked in.

You're right. We assessed the situation, kept walking to the bar, got a beer, and just pounded it as we walked out and left. But this is, again, Concrete Cowboy. And this is from Shauna P. Shauna. Epic line cutting while everyone tried to be socially distanced and wait their turn. Sorry you lost out on $1,000 we were about to spend at your place. Going to Greenlight Social now.

Oh, that is insane. Dude, Shauna was about to drop the bag. $1,000? What were you going to get at Concrete Cowboy? Just thousands of dollars. You're going to buy a round for everybody there? Everyone knows that in peak times, during the uncertain times, I fucked heavy with social distancing. You did.

A lot of people know that about you. I kind of wish people would still distance from me once in a while. But if you're going to Concrete Cowboy, social distancing should be the lowest thing on your list of complaints. You're going to Concrete Cowboy. Yeah. That's where the Cowboys are concrete. Yeah, that's what people say. They just can't move because concrete.

I bet you after Greenlight, she went over to WTF and David R. Piped her. Blew her back out. Yeah. He gave her a spinal. Then they went over to, is that the same bar they pulled the chairs? Everyone's getting injured backs over there. They're just pulling...

The owners are just pulling chairs from behind people. I'm surprised nobody got tabletopped. What fucking... What's going on in that bar? What's going on in that bar? What's going on? It's not like he pants somebody. It's just a classic tabletop.

He's giving noogies to everybody on the way in. If I see the owner of any restaurant giving noogies to people, I'm like, dude, this guy's awesome. This place is sick. Okay. One more, and this one I'm just going to quick and easy down bad. This is Steven C. from Fort Worth, Texas. Same bar.

Concrete cowboy. Bartender took forever to get a drink. Maybe it was because he was too busy hitting on the female guests. Street Cowboy. Bartender took forever to get a drink. Maybe it was because he was too busy hitting on the female guests. Maybe if I had bigger tits, he'd serve me. Yeah. Probably. Yeah, probably so.

Yeah, yeah. If I know anything about getting a drink at a busy bar with a lot of hot girls around, is that me? You're going to have to wait. Yeah, I'm not getting a drink very quick. You're going to have to wait a bit. Yeah. I'm self-aware enough to know that I'm not first on his list to get drunk.

They really like when you pull your debit card out and just kind of like lean over the bar. Tap it. I do the lean over to make myself appear more ready to order. Do you ever do the over-exaggerated, frustrated face? Like, oh my god. No, that guy's not getting started. Is the music still playing? No. Oh, okay.

Do you want it to? No, no, no. I was just curious. You know, Will, the audio bed. One more time. Look at Dave and his media terminology. Yeah, he's been saying audio bed this entire time. Stop saying it, dude.

We get it, man. I don't know what a bed is. I bet Randy knew what it was. Randy knew it. Oh, of course he did. Dude, Randy knows everything. He's being smug over there. A-Town probably knew what it was in there.

Timo definitely did. I know Timo knows. Timo probably invented the term. Anyway, that was Bar Reviews. That was fun, man. Can we do that again, please? Coming to a city near you. Can we do that again? Yeah, Coming to a city near you. Can we do that again?

Yeah, there's many other cities with bars. I would appreciate if our listeners hit us up on Circling Back Pod and told us which ones to review. We should create a bar review at Washed Media email because I don't want people emailing me. What would the reviews at Wilmon say? Dude, you don't even want to know dog you see there's competitive bars out there yeah i don't like it let's just bear hug them have you seen like i can i can i talk about them real quick yeah let me just go to the hello wilmont's account i think i don't know if i should love these people or start a beef with them

i did send a seasoned assist last night. I saw that. I hear their wings are really bland, too. I should send them a seasoned assist. Do you get it? You get a day of season? Like seasoning? Or you send them a seasoned assist and it's just a $5 deep dish pizza you picked up? It says, Tiki time.

Couple creates a thriving business offering Tiki Hub boat cruises through Salem Harbor. This is lit there's just old women with maracas just walking around that's a party dude i want in i know i know our bar has like a lazy river but we need a boat that floats around and like actually does shit with people that'd be pretty sick it would be it would be pretty nectar it would be pretty nectar we're doing nectar this summer wow it. It's the summer of nectar. You were saying you... No, never mind. Let's talk about public rec real quick.

You guys ever heard of these guys? Let's talk about it. When I'm trying to chill, whether I'm at home or whether I'm trying to go to the bar, wherever I'm trying to go, public rec is the stuff. Love some public rec. Look, I'm not trying to make this about me or anything, but I just got some new shorts from Public Rec right before my telly trip. I went hiking in them, and they're dope. Crazy dope.

I even got a couple compliments from people. That's big facts. They fit me perfectly. I think I got the same pair. Are they the navy blue? I saw your tight little ass in those things at the gym, Dave. You look great. Just saying.

Well, they replaced your old style, which, you know, had a lot of length issues. Again, again, this doesn't need to be about my old style. A lot of the times your waist looked too big or too small,

but now you have public racks. I would never be caught dead wearing anything that you would wear outside of the house before you got your public racks.

Again, unnecessary, but you can keep going. I would not want my neighbors to see me in the raggedy old sweats that you used to wear all the time. Right.

They didn't even have zipper pockets. Things were just falling out. You were walking all the time. Right. They didn't even have zipper pockets. Things were just falling out. You were walking down the street and shit was just going everywhere. The zipper pockets are great. Especially for hiking. You have to worry about your shit falling out. This is why you need to check out Public Rec.

They make leisure wear in waist and inseam sizes because comfort starts with a better fit. Their best-selling all-day, everyday pants are a more stylish alternative to sweatpants and a more comfortable alternative to jeans. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When I tried these on for the first time, Sally didn't even know they were sweatpant material and she said, those fit you phenomenally. You need to get more of those. Let's go, Sal.

We'll always gas himself up in these reads. Yep. The all-day, everyday pant comes in waist and inseam sizings, so they fit short guys, tall guys, and everyone in between. They would probably even fit Adrian Grenier, despite how small he is. He's a small lad. He's a wee lad. He's a wee lad. Oh, yeah.

These are made from breathable, stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric, which is big for all you swamp boys out there like me. You can wear them 24-7, and they look brand new. They also have zipper pockets like we talked about, so no more having your phone or wallet fall out when you sit down and when you're just getting loose on the town. Loose on the town. When you pull up to WTF and the owner pulls a chair out from behind you.

They're such tactical pants that you can just kind of avoid it. It's amazing stuff. Plus, they've got incredibly comfortable shorts, t-shirts, Henleys, polos, hoodies, jackets, even golf gear. And they just launched their women's line so anyone listening right now can enjoy Public Rec's game-changing fabric in their wardrobe.

These are always a top choice in our rotation and they should be in yours as well. These just fit so well. Gotta update all our fabric in their wardrobe. These are always a top choice in our rotation, and they should be in yours as well. These just fit so well. Got to update all our pants in our wardrobe to these bad boys. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying, Campbell? Absolutely. As the world's opening back up, make sure you've got clothes that are as flexible as your life is.

Public Rec rarely discounts, but right now they have an exclusive offer just for Circling Back listeners. Go to publicrec.com slash circling back to get 10% off. That's publicrec, spelled R-E-C, dot com slash circling back for 10% off. We got a video. Yes, we do. This has been talked about quite a bit. It's been all over social media. And it's kind of epic.

Is this confirmed grizzly? Yeah. Do we know what kind of bear this is? And where is this video taking place? I think it's just a brown bear, right? Do I need to worry about a bear scaling the wall of my condo? I don't think this is in Austin, Will. Okay.

That's good to know. Yeah. It's hard to say where this is. I don't know what kind of bear this is. It's either a grizzly or a brown. I think a grizzly. They're the same species. I think if it was a grizzly, they would have gotten off.

All grizzly bears are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzly bears. I don't know if you know that. I don't know if that's accurate. I think it is. This, okay. She has like, I don't know, five dogs? She has all the dogs. She has so many dogs.

Yeah. So the bear has a couple of bear cubs with her. Does she? Yeah. I didn't notice the cubs. They were behind her on the scale, walking the fence. I like that the dog from the house next door also wants to smoke, and he runs out like, what's going on out here?

What's up? What's good? It's incredible. This woman is a badass so the woman has all her dogs run out of her house and then go after towards the bear which the bear is just throwing claws this is in cali she shoves it off of the wall in a like a summer dress i don't know what kind of dress it is. In a denim sundress. Yeah. She's looking like a snack. The last dog got a little too old, by the way. She look like a snack? Well, hopefully not,

because that bear probably wanted a snack. 17-year-old. She's 17? Yeah. God damn it. The camera's blurry. I was trying to gas her up. I'm sorry. It was blurry. I was trying to gas her up. Let me say this. It is California. So, that's where this is. It was blurry. I was trying to gas her up. Let me say this. It is California. So that's where this is. I thought when I first saw this, I was like, oh, this is some wild ass shit in like some part of Russia.

No. No. No. In this scenario, there's a lot of people out there being like, oh, I would protect my dog and I would run out and shove that bear. No, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. You get like a – no, I'm not trying to make a joke here, but you get like a little mama bear instinct that kicks in. You got to protect your own, man.

Don't you need to yell at your dogs before you just sprint out and just truck stick the bear? Hey, get back in here. Hey, come on. Rosie, get in. No, these dogs were about to get all the smoke from that bear. It was going to be very poor for them. Dogs are fearless when it comes to bears because they don't know what the hell a bear is a bear probably doesn't really

know what a dog is right so it's like that's probably why the bear was just like whoa and you know what the bear maybe i bet if that bear had been by itself it probably would have gone differently but like because the cubs were there probably didn't want to like get too into a fight and you know maybe it loses track of the cubs or another dog takes out one of the cubs i think the cubs being there makes the the mama bear more aggressive it definitely does so that just defeats my point so i don't know i think will i think you're you're underestimating your instincts here. I'm a huge P, though. Right, but I think if Rosie was in imminent danger, I think you would have done something just instinctually.

I definitely would have gone after the bear, but I'm just different. So it was a 17-year-old in the sundress, though. We don't need to keep reiterating how old she is. Quit describing the outfit. I feel like that was a targeted attack with me trying to be nice to this lady and gas her up a little bit more than just saying that she's good at shoving bears.

Will just tries to be nice, and Dylan, you just... I'm sorry. She's a nice young lady. I'm sure she's going to grow up and be a very beautiful lady at some point, and she's going to marry someone equally handsome. Did you see the caption on TikTok? My cousin hayley yeeted a bear off her fence today you gotta eat the bear dude you have to what does he even mean i think it means like throw violently there's a guy in my neighborhood who has that decal like a sticker on the back of his truck. What does it say? Yeet. Really?

Isn't it the same font as Yeti? No, but it's something. That would be epic. Yes, Dylan, I think you're correct. This bear is a brown bear. Yeah. Well, yeah, I could tell what color it was just from the video. Which I think in the hierarchy of dangerous bears,

it's not at the bottom, but it's, I think a black bear is softer than a brown bear. I mean, you know, the brown bear, I believe, is a large bear species found across Eurasia and North America, from what I remember. What else do you know about these? In North America, the populations of brown bears are called grizzly bears, while the subspecies that inhabits the Kodiak Islands of Alaska, that's known as the Kodiak bear. Kodiak bear is the second biggest bear, by the way, after a polar. Yeah, it is one of the largest living terrestrial members,

terrestrial members of the order of the carnivora. I think I got that right. Rivaled in size only by its closest relative, the polar bear. See, I already knew this stuff, and you're reading it off Wikipedia. Yeah. I'm not. It's just off the dome. Freestyle king.

Okay, from most badass to least badass. He goes polar, Kodiak. No, that's size-wise. Size-wise, it goes polar, Kodiak, grizzly, brown, black. Damn, call that a Kodiak moment. See, I'm reading here that the five most dangerous bears, number one is polar bears, number two is grizzly bears, number three is the Kamchatka brown bear,

number four is Kodiak, and number five is the Himalayan brown bear. Oh. Wasn't Kamchatka like a really cheap vodka that people used to drink in college? You're thinking of Taka. Well, I think everyone had different ones. You had Korsky. Ever heard of Korsky? Ours was just different.

Korsky was a little steeply priced. It was about $6 for a fifth. Ooh. Yeah, that's too much for me. The thing about it is that, like, what's crazy about this story is that brown bears usually avoid areas where extensive development or urbanization has occurred, unlike the smaller, more inoffensive American black bear, which can adapt to a para-urban region. Right. Well said. So it's just interesting to see this.

I know so much. It's impressive. You know, we have black bears in Texas. Is that facts? That's big facts. Do I need to worry about this? Not yet. Not here.

If they're black, fight back. If they're brown, lie down. Dude, I can't tell my lefts and rights. Do you think I'm going to see a bear? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you're just making it worse for Will. He's going to be like, wait. If they're white.

If it's brown, take it to pound town. Remember what to do if they're white? Good night. Go to sleep. What's the one you're supposed to try to make yourself a lot larger and freak out? Probably a black bear is the softer of the bears. You still don't want it with the black bear. You can square up to him.

Don't square up to him. You can't turn over me, player. I'm here. Dude, I think low-key, I think my favorite bear is the Kodiak. They're kind of dope. They're big, but they're like big softies, man. Dude, they're like big, chunky boys. You can cuddle with them.

Did you hear the audio of this? Yeah, you cuddle with them, Dave. Have you heard the audio of this? Uh-uh. Is there audio? Yeah, let me play it. Grrr. Wow.

That's a mean bear. It doesn't really match what was going on in the video, though. It's rough. Grrr. He did take a swat at that first dog. Yeah. Yeah, yeah yeah after him he's doing a little two-piece man do we know the names of these dogs i don't i don't think we know the names of the dogs no what do you think their names are

that first dog just came out now there's a will heavy with kodiaks right now traeger dude i'm on my kodiak shit right now. I'm on that wave and I don't want to get off. Ranger, Captain. Just thinking of generic college dog names. Yeah. Duke. Duke.

Duke's a big one in Texas. He's not even old enough to be in college. You have to think of high school dog names. God, Kodiaks are big, dude. Chunky boys, that's what I said. They're cuddly, man. Get in there. One of the more interesting notes after seeing this video kind of reminded me

that brown bears often figure into the literature of Europe and North America, in particular that which is written for children. Dude, it's funny you bring that up because I was actually wondering if that was even going to be a talking point today. I'm glad that you made it one. It's interesting. The brown bear of Norway. It's a Scottish fairy tale telling the adventures

of a girl who married a prince and magically turned into a bear who managed to get him back into human form by the force of her love and after many trials and difficulties. It's just like, there's just a lot to be learned from this TikTok video. People who say TikTok doesn't have a purpose. How about that? Have you ever seen Tangled?

Randy's seen Tangled. He's nodding yes big bear energy entangled okay no what movie is it brave that's what i meant i've seen tangled they're like the same movie what is tangled it's a different movie with no bears in it obviously only idiots would think that there's bears and fucking tangled yeah yeah oh actually i'm going brave hits never seen sally ordered a dress for uh have you ever do you know you don't are you not familiar and Tangled. Yeah, yeah. Ooh, actually. Shout out to Brave. I'm going. Brave hits. Never seen that. Sally ordered a dress for, have you ever, do you know,

you don't, are you not familiar with Brave at all? Oh. I don't think so. Here's a famous line from that movie. They may take our lives,

but they'll never take our honey. I actually pitched to Sally the other day that for Halloween we dress Fritz up as William Wallace and paint his face

and she said, I don't think that kids that young can get their faces painted. Why? I don't know. Because the paint has lead in it? It's my son. Let me paint his face. I paint your face. We painted Parks' face back then, but he was just built different. I painted up.

How was he built different? He was just built different. He just had really strong skin on his face? Just dope skin, yeah. We need to clear up this baby acne. What's up with that stuff? It's very common. I know. I have hella clear skin.

Does he have, what is it? Not crib head. Crown? Cradle cap? Cradle cap. Nah, not yet. Why so funny, Dylan? You said crib head.

I can't remember what it was called. That's what's funny. Crib head. Yo, crib head. Cribhead. Yo, Cribhead. Cribhead looking ass. Oh, man. I don't have anything more in this video. It's a cool video, man.

Hey, I want to give a special thank you to the people that tagged us in it, to all 4,000 of you. It was really cool. You know my favorite part of the video? Everyone's safe. Mm-hmm. Little cubs, little dogs. I'm hoping that... I don't know.

She shoved the bear into the other yard. The 17-year-old is super safe. What if the... She kind of tabletopped that bear. The bear's fine. The owner of WTF was there with the chair. Who got him? See ya.

Dude, it reminded me. Dylan, you've been to Spain, right? I have not been to España. Hold on. What? Oh, my God. You've never been to Spain. I chose Italy instead. Yeah, you've been to Spain, right? I have not been to España. Hold on, what? Oh, my God. You've never been to Spain. I chose Italy.

Yeah, I've been to Barcelona. So, Will, you probably remember that the coat of arms of Madrid depicts a bear reaching up into a madrono or a strawberry tree. You remember that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He said a Spanish word with an Italian accent. Madronos are definitely strawberry trees. He said madrono.

Madrono. Just interesting. Like, bears are just so important in our culture. Dave, how do you feel about all the changes in La Liga recently? Definitely strawberry trees. He said Madrona. Madrona. Just interesting. Like, bears are just so important in our culture. Dave, how do you feel about all the changes in La Liga recently? Real Madrid is just in shambles. I know, man. It's tough because it's just bad for the league, the La Liga as a whole.

As opposed to, I mean, like, yeah, I'm not like. What a creative name they have. That was sarcasm. Shut up, dude. This is soccer talk. This is Dave and I vibing. Dude, you're just different, though. I'm just different. You're not different.

You're literally the same. Let's talk about this weekend in fun. Let's go. People that don't like music drops are not going to like this episode very much. It's called a music bed, sir. If you hear it out. Make me in it, daddy. This week, presented by Vizzy Hart Seltzer.

To celebrate pride in a meaningful way, Vizzy Hart Seltzer created a label-less can to reinforce the beauty of loving our unique personal identity and living beyond pre-assumed labels. That is a creative way to do this. That's pretty fun. It's Pride Month, baby, and their limited edition pack was created in partnership with the Human Rights Campaign.

We love to see it. They tease this to us when we're on a little conference call. Not to brag, but we have conference calls with Vizzy once in a while. We have the inside scoop. This summer, I'm no ceilings, no labels. Really? I got no ceilings. That's Lil Wayne, right?

Wow, what you've done there has never been done. But as you guys all know, Vizzy is more than just a hard seltzer with antioxidant vitamin C. Vizzy celebrates inclusion and has donated over $1 million to the Human Rights Campaign over three years to support their fight for the LGBTQ plus equality. There are plenty of hard seltzers to choose from, but with bold and delicious dual fruit flavors, antioxidant vitamin C, and commitment to equality, Vizzy makes the choice a little easier and a lot tastier. I have some breaking news.

Over the long weekend, your boy hit the pool. You have a new favorite flave? New fave flave? I don't know if it's new fave flave, but it's definitely Rotache. Okay. Okay. Okay. What is it? Let in the rotation. Okay. Okay. Okay. What is it?

Let me holler at the lemonade watermelon. Yeah. Are you kidding me? Thank you. I've been hyping this one up for a minute now, sir. Are you kidding me? I believe it's called watermelon lemonade, but it's whatever. The fact that I can find this in the...

I knew it. You beat him to it and you did it anyway. The fact that I can find this in the grocery store around the corner from me, that's a problem. In a good way. David, the word is out. I know. Figure it out, dude.

Dilly Dog, what you getting into this weekend? I wanted to do the super fruit, super freak thing. Just tell us the weekend plans.

Super fruit. Just tell us the weekend plans. Super fruit. Just tell us the weekend plans. All right. I'm trying to keep them as a sponsor. Yeah, I know, I know. I'm sorry. Anyway, I don't have a ton happening this weekend. However, tomorrow, which is Thursday, my son, Parks Edwin Chivary, a.k.a. the homie,

he graduates from kindergarten, folks. The most awesome. Edwin Chivary, a.k.a. The Homie. He graduates from kindergarten, folks. The most awesome. He has achieved awesome status at school, which, no surprise, I don't think, for anyone here. But it's good to see.

So we stay at BJ's Brewhouse on this podcast. We like BJ's Brewhouse. Didn't we do an early business lunch there? I wasn't there. I think Klein was there, though. No, he didn't because we were going to a restaurant where Grand X employees were, including Will at the time. So we had to call. We saw it.

We're like, oh, shit. We had to call an audible, so we went over to BJ's, remember? Oh, yeah, which is always a great audible to call. Dude, the pizza that he gets with that certificate looks like shit. It does. Have you never had deep dish from BJ's? No. Dude, it's actually legit.

Dylan's in on deep dish now that Parks gets a free one. No, it's good. It really is. Okay. People will absolutely back me up on this. Anyway, we're taking him on a little celebratory dinner situation. And I talked about it with his mother, and we said, should we take our significant others?

And he said, you know, let's ask Parks. So Parks has decided he wants his mom, me, and then Bay, and Dallas' boyfriend. So we're all going to go to a little dinner with Parks, and it's going to be the mega-est of key seats. What restaurant? It's undecided at this point. So just to be crystal clear, he didn't request Dave to be there at all? Or are you just omitting that because you don't want Dave there? No, no, no.

We're doing lunch that day. Oh, okay. We're going to ABBA. The place is cool. They can't make a margarita for shit, but it's a cool place. Are you guys doing free drinks anywhere? We might go to La Pesina. Wait, is it because you ordered a mezcal margarita? anywhere? Oh, we might go to La Pesina. Word.

Wait, is it because you ordered a mezcal margarita? No. Oh, okay. It's their, like, menu, like, cocktail menu margarita, and it is vile. Give a Yelp review. Do they not follow the 3-2-1 method of Michael Weiner? Their food is sick, though. Sick as in really good. Like, sick.

When they serve their hot pretzels, is it served with cold sauces or hot sauces, and won't they give me diarrhea? It's hard to say. It was kind of annoying, though. Their owner came over and pulled a chair out from behind me. It really hurt my tailbone. Yeah, the owner came over and gave me a wedgie. It was really annoying.

No one's doing wedgies anymore. He pants me on my way out. The bouncer gave me a swirly and then brought me back to my table. I was not happy about it. Oh, it's so stupid. Anyway, I'm looking forward to that. The rest of my weekend, it's pretty open. Dylan's going to go to some.

His weekend's wide open. Is that Creed? Is that Creed? Is that Creed? It's obviously Creed. Yeah, dude. By the way, Creed 2. Our dear friend Klein will be in town, so I might link with him at some point. I'm not playing golf, though.

I've decided I'm out on golf. Here's the problem. The forecast has scattered storms literally every day for like the next six days. Good. So I hate to tell him, yeah, drive down, we'll play golf. I'd love to link with him. I'll link. I mean, it's going to end up like us.

I'll meet him out for some beers. And he hasn't met Bay yet either. Won't KJ be in town too? KJ's in town Sunday. Right. I think Clyton will be as well. Are we having a low-key meeting of the minds? Sunday might be the day.

Are we having an impromptu board meeting? Is it going to be the day? I could do that. That's my weekend in fun. I could link and I could build. I basically just told you. I think it's just me and Rhodes Thursday night. Sick.

Watching him. We're going to probably watch some basketball. Just a guy's night. The NBA playoffs are in full swing. Right. The Mavs, we The NBA playoffs are in full swing. Right. The Mavs, we get it. Tonight, big game. So I don't know.

I told him I would play golf. I just don't think it's going to happen. So who knows? By the way, what's up with the mysterious box of Pro V1s that Brett had delivered at the office? The spookiest Pro V1. I did think that maybe we should open it up and see if they're monogrammed with anything. I thought he checked.

I told him to, and I think they're just Pro V1s. If you sent Brett some Pro V1s, that's cool, but you definitely need to send some to us, too. Yeah, what the hell? And we prefer Chrome Soft. If you guys need any Pro V1s with my initials on them, there's a bunch of lines right now. Oh, dude. This guy lost the balls, man. I you guys need any Pro V1s with my initials on them, there's a bunch of lines right now. Oh, dude.

This guy lost the balls, man. I can't hit the Pro V1. I had too much spin on it. Not a spinny boy? Oh, shit. I need a Chrome Soft. Shut up. I do.

I do. Oh, it's just biting too hard on the greens for you. No, no. It's off the tee. It's just spinning them off the greens. Off the tee, I lose it right, man. You have a viper bite. I break windows.

Everybody knows that about me. Crazy wedge game. Shut up, dude. I thought you broke that window with a Schlesinger. Was it a Schlesinger? It was a Bridgestone. It was a Bridgestone. Schlesinger.

Schlesinger boy? I used to love Schlesinger. Hey, is this your Schlesinger? Schlesinger is the official. You're like, no. It's like, literally says David Ruff, good golfer on it. Great golfer. Great golfer.

Good guy, great golfer. Hey, tell us about your weekend. I guess we already started. I basically just did. Yeah, okay. Will? I don't have much planned. it great golfer great golfer good guy great golfer hey tell us about your weekend i guess i basically just did yeah okay well i don't i don't have much planned uh unfortunately i have to do something i don't want to do and that's take newborn photos to be honest i wish i had a couple months preparation for this so i could get the body right but i guess i'm just going to look a little low-key thick for these photos you're gonna do the body issue yeah you're doing naked right yeah we're doing the wash media body issue yeah we're doing them naked okay great yeah i want to be live from the steam shower do we be getting off hella steam showers lately that's sick can you

just take a regular shower is that an option just take a regular one you just you just don't turn the steam on but i take steam showers with fritz okay that's kind's kind of sick. Dude, it's allergy season. But he's not experiencing that because his nasal cavity is just stupid clear right now. Maybe that's why he's so broken out, man. I'm trying to expose Rhodes to as much pollen as possible. Do you close those pores, though? He's not, like, so broken out. I'm just saying he had a little baby acne.

It's normal, Dylan. All right, dude. As Dave said, it's very common. Didn't you get him on some Diffrin gel? Yeah, he's built Diffrin. You hit him with that Oxypad? I don't have to worry about that shit. Are we going to link with us on Sunday?

I mean, if it's required, yeah, let's do it. KJ will be here, man. I know. I didn't link with KJ last time he was here on a Sunday. Might be time. Yeah, he's been talking about it ever since. Last time I was with KJ was Friday night. We know you went to a basketball game, dude. ever since. Last time I was with KJ, it was Friday night.

We went to a basketball game. After the game, he went to a bar in Duncanville and tried to walk home. I wasn't at the bar. Beat-ups? No. You guys always hit beat-ups together. That's in Cedar Hill. We went to Mud Hook. Shout out to Mud Hook. Look who it is. The worst to ever do it

in the building. Oh, let's go. Dude, woad status. I don't know if that's fair, calling it woat status. Should I start calling these woat bombs? He's woated right now. Unfortunately, my computer decided to update right in the middle of that, so it's restarted. But I just go off the dome.

Dude, spit it. Dude, through the wire. More facts? Only if they're big. What do you got, Doug? What do you want to do, Dylan? Let's do... You want to do mountains?

Mountains, viral bar tabs, or cyber attacks? Let's go. Let's do mountains. I just want to give Mike Posner. Remember him? Yeah. He took a pill and a Beezo. Dude, shouts to him.

He just climbed Mount Everest today. He summited. That dude, I believe he walked like he did the Forrest Gump. He walked coast to coast. Yeah, then he went up as high as he could. For a charity situation. What's next? So I know a girl who went to college with him, did the forest gump he walked coast to coast yeah then he went up for a charity situation what's next so i know a girl who went to college with him and he and he would call her to be like hey

come to my it was before he was big he would have like 30 people show up to his shows and he'd leave her like voicemails being like hey yeah can you come to my show it's gonna be sweet you know he talks with that like soft accent yeah it's just weird is he so did she go he's kind of a weird guy but yeah yeah that's cool. I think he's a solid dude. He seems like a solid dude. Yeah. He walked 1,000 miles.

He'll walk 500 more. That's a different person. Are we doing Vanessa Carlton? Oh, come on. That's 500 miles, right? Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't. Don't. That's the most annoying. Dude, you killed that. This is my fault, too. I will acknowledge. That's on you, Doug.

That's on me. Shouts to Mike. Also, I guess he trained for 18 months for Mount Everest. That sounds right. Is that right? It's not like a six-week training camp. There's like a wait list that you can't even. Aren't they thinking about reducing the amount of people that can do it?

Yeah, there's like dead bodies and like poo poo everywhere three thousand feet how high is it 29 true 29 out of whiskey tango foxtrot I've a hard time breathing it 8,000 man yeah up there you need the o2 are you kidding 29 yeah that's out there fool Dave you're being cyber attack guy aren't you? Sure. Well, unfortunately. You always told me how you liked to cyber. Unfortunately, there was a cyber attack that has infected, I don't know, 20% of the United States' beef production.

Have you heard about this? Mm-hmm. JBS has been struck by what allegedly a Russian cyber operation. It's always Russia. That has halted the slaughtering of beef and pork in like all of the U.S. right now. Maybe it'll end factory farming. So I'm just saying. Good thing Dave has a freezer full of tube steak to keep him going for a while.

Yeah, thank you for your donation. My tube steak fund so my tool concerns being down down the downstream here beef is gonna skyrocket in price too late well you know it's convenient i don't eat beef within the united states i only yeah you only wait people know that about you yeah if you ever had the chateaubriand yeah let, let me know when they hack France. That should be our new podcast. He said it might affect my life. Oh, man. What's the last one? I forgot. Viral bar tabs. Oh, viral bar tab. Randy, can you help me out?

Oh, this was a fun one. Dude, you're not a man if you can't afford this. Look at this. This is a different one. Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas. Oh, I should probably do some reviews. Why is a small Fiji water $13, and why would you order 24 of those? A bottle of Tito's is $825? $825.

Maybe that's what that girl's going to buy at Concrete Cowboy. $8,600 tab at a... So this is like, okay, venue fee, $800. So this is like, they had bottle service. They800. So this is like they had bottle service. They had table, bottle service. They had like a- They had bee service. 15% auto grat.

Hey, shouts to them getting the shrimp ceviche for $24, which is actually not terribly priced for that beach club. Also, props to them, the fruit platter. $75 chicken finger platter. Props for staying hella hydrated, 24 Fiji waters. Also, Brett, did you see what they bought 12 of? Red Bull Sugar Freeze, baby, for 13 bucks a pop. You gotta think they're mixing that with vodka.

Have to. The $800 bottle of Tito's. Can I ask a question? Why is this viral? I think it's just the exorbitant prices. It is crazy, but I feel like in Vegas, this kind of shit happens every weekend. What do you think? This was 10 people? They split it 860 bucks a pop?

I'm just stuck on the Tito's, man. I really enjoyed the bar tab. Just going through the tab from Salt Bae's restaurant. Was that in Houston? PJ Bell. You're not a man if you can't afford that tab. What is PJ Bell? I'm guessing it's champagne, right? No, Meg. What's Meg?

A $1,300 margarita. Sorry, that was an inadvertent NF confession. Casa Dragones. Champagne.ent NF confession. Casa Dragones. Champagne. Are you big on Casa Dragones? Dragon House. I thought I was, and then I looked it up. It's Blanco.

It's a white Dragon House, Dave. Oh, White House of Dragon. How about that? Yeah, I looked it up, and I've actually never had Casa Dragones. I'd fuck with a shrimp skewer for $13. That's fine. Yeah, I feel like the food is actually pretty reasonably priced. I'm shocked by how cheap the ceviche

was. Is it a red flag that the ceviche is the same price as the fruit platter? Less than the chicken fingers. I don't want my shrimp ceviche being the same price as fruit. You're absolutely correct. That champagne off the shelf is about $270.

That's a pretty good upcharge. I mean, the Tito is $20, and they got an $800 bottle. Sometimes I go to the store and I think to myself, I'm going to buy this $270 bottle of champagne, and then I think to myself, wait, why would I do it here when I could pay $1,000 more in Miami? Right. Well, yeah, that's a good point, man.

It's just different when it makes you bankrupt. They closed the tab out at 2.28 p.m. They were nowhere near done with their day. No, I want to know what their tabs looked like as they escalated. $8,600. See, if you do a bachelor party to Vegas, you've got to have a guy who's just bawling so hard that you can do this. Miles guy.

You're not worried about it. Yeah, he picks it up. Just to say you did it. Yeah, I don't think this is like 10 people throwing in cards here. No, dude, I only had two of the Red Bulls. Yeah to say you did it. Yeah, I don't think this is like 10 people throwing in cards here. No, dude, I only had two of the Red Bulls. I had two. Imagine splitting this bill. Didn't have any of the ceviche.

I'm surprised that they only did 15% automatic gratuity. I feel like they could get away with 20 or 22% and nobody would even bat an eye because they're already getting bankrupted here. Just charge the 20%. Right. I like the deal every couple years where there's stories about the young ladies predominantly that compete to get these jobs as bottle service waitresses in Vegas at the exclusive places and how much they make.

They make like a million dollars. It's mind-blowing. Yeah. Good for them. They just absolutely crush it. But the deal with those Vegas, poolside Vegas trash every week, like they earn their money, you know, the scumbags out there. Yeah, they deal with some characters.

Yeah. Yeah. Bugsy single. We're not talking about the 1920s, though. Yeah, give me that red ball. This tab would have been much different. Hold the sugar, sugar. Bugsy single.

Didn't he like, wasn't it Vegas his idea? You hear about that old tale? Yeah. He was driving through the desert and he had to stop doing this. On a horse with no name? I don't know. Yeah. And he's like, let's build a casino here.

Like, that's the story. Really? There's no water out there, though. Why is that a good idea? No, they got a big ass fountain out there. I believe it was built for the troops. It's sick, dude. It's a lake, dude.

Dude, it goes off every 30 minutes. Bellagio means beautiful lake. Sometimes 15. I'm surprised you didn't know that. I knew Bella. I didn't know Gio. I didn't know Gio meant lake. Bellagio.

Lagio. It's an Italian word. Lagio. Bella Lagio. Bellagio, Italy, is a town next to Lake Como, or on Lake Como. Locke Como. You didn't even know that either. Well, I would think Locke would translate to lake.

That makes sense. Geography guy. I don't know Lagio. Geography my ass. You don't know anything. I'll geography be you right now. Where's Lagio? Oh, he's in the bathroom taking a shit.

If I'm not mistaken, like, post-war Vegas was founded, like, basically when Jewish gangster Bugsy Siegel with help from friend and fellow mob boss Meyer Lansky poured money through locally owned banks for cover of legitimacy and built the Flamingo in 1946, I believe. Wow. So it's a racketeer.

Dave knows everything. Yeah. Let's put a casino right here, say. Seems like a good spot, huh? Foundation issues, huh? We have no water, though. No water out here, but whatever. It's crazy that he founded Las Vegas and then just went on to have a bustling rap career.

At like age 88. Yeah. What we do still hits. Man. Good stuff. That was a fun one What did you do Brad? I was good man Maybe you should never
