All right, we're back.
I'm back with Randy.
Circling Back podcast, Tuesday morning.
Welcome to the show.
Producing right now,
learning the beauty of live podcasting is Randy Trumback.
Hi, Dave.
How's it going over there?
Terrible, terrible.
We had KJ's audio up until 20 seconds left of the countdown,
and he's in the green.
He's in here with us right now.
but apparently he can't hear us and I don't think we can hear him so quite quite fun we're good we're good we're
oh we're good oh we're good you're good you can hear us then okay j loud and clear loud that's what I love
we're so back there's j Dylan Dylan is probably wheels down ish in Cabo right now Dylan and Chels
he had so many people on his flight he got on his plane and he said that there were he counted him
did a head count, 13 people on the plane.
That's one of the times when, like, they probably say,
hey, we need you guys to spread out for weight distribution.
I've been on one of those types before.
Really?
Yeah, where it's like, yeah, you know,
there's so many little people you guys can all have your own road.
But, like, we need some people in the back, some people in the front.
Where are you going?
Do you go in front or back?
Oh, front.
I mean, if that's the, if it's only 13 people,
I'm definitely going to try to get closer to the front.
Or something with a nice view, something not by,
the wing, you know. Maybe I'll go to the exit row, get some extra leg room.
Well said.
But okay, now my real intro, now that we've averted the crisis, there's been a lot of chatter,
a lot of chatter that Bit Madness was scripted this year. And I don't want, I don't know what they're
talking about. People are pointing to that the first thumbnail I did for Bit Madness was predicting
the eventual championship game.
It's like the Super Bowl, how like they look back at the, you know, the
colors.
Yeah.
Or like they look at the Madden thing like, oh, look at the two QBs that were in the
Super Bowl.
We're standing in the front of it's like, eh.
In reality, I just chose two bits that were pretty funny.
But it is funny that I did choose the two, you know.
You could spoil it.
I don't spoil it.
I don't spoil it.
I mean, actually, yeah.
It'd be kind of weird if people were listening to this and didn't listen to yesterday's
episode.
But I did accurately pick the championship match.
up in that thumbnail.
Yeah.
If you're new here, if you found us, if you're one of the Stoley's who's new here, or I don't
know, you found us through Outkick or you found us through Black Sports Online, we're talking
about Bit Madness.
Yeah.
Did I not say Bit Madness?
I said there's a lot of chat or about people saying that bit madness was scripted.
Yeah, no, I know.
I just wanted to provide context.
Oh, yes.
It's important for the show.
But KJ, great to have it.
Shout out.
Shout out to noted Michael Weiner friend, Robert LaTall.
black sports online.
I think of Micah every time that dude's on my timeline.
100% and every time I'm like, damn, I wish I wouldn't.
Anyways.
There was, it wasn't that long ago that we had a sports podcast with Micah.
And every, he would always be like, oh, I saw this.
And it would always be a BSO, uh, tweet or something.
I'd never heard of it.
I felt so ignorant.
You would think that it came with my lifetime subscription.
but for some reason, black sports online had evaded me.
I learned of it from Michael Hiner.
Ladies and gentlemen, from Madison, Wisconsin, KJ.
Hello, and thank you for having me.
I apologize for just completely butchering all of the natural flow of content here.
100% on me as my headphones decided right as we were going live to switch audio.
sources. So I went deaf and, uh, for some reason decided to like remedy that by not saying
anything. So Randy thought he couldn't hear me. But we're all good. Are you, uh, are you wired up?
What's going on there? Uh, so here's what I deal with, buddy to hear myself out of the board to make
sure, uh, and really this is kind of a habit from when we would do too much dip live on Thursday
nights during the seasons to hear the board i use a wired headphone into the board but then to hear you
fellas i use my Bluetooth so i don't really need this except for to know my microphone is on
that's that's just a bad habit i had uh i had to hit him with with uh one on one of these because he
wasn't he wasn't seeing on just to get his attention to be like hey we can't hear you and you can't
hear us if you're just if you're just listening and you and you found us through ben Shapiro
What Randy did right there, it's a visual show first and first and foremost, but he also waved at the camera.
I wave quite emphatically.
Yeah.
It was like from, what is it?
America of World Police.
And like, he's like, it's me, it's me.
You know what I'm talking about.
Good reference.
You sold it.
Team America.
Team America.
I couldn't think of the name.
Yeah.
Team America.
Okay.
Also came out in 2004.
A little shout out to Do You Know It
When we were talking about 2004 comedies.
No spoilers, but do you know it will drop today, correct?
Yes, it will drop this afternoon.
It's already been recorded.
There's already a winter crowned.
I will tell you nothing except for it was down to the wire
And it was a lot of fun.
Yeah, a little ambitious of thinking I was going to be able to get out this morning.
But it will be this afternoon, just like every Tuesday episode.
But it was a lot of fun, long one too.
It's good to be back.
KJ, are you a dicky know it all?
I'm not a dicky know at all.
However, high atop my list of dreams is to one day, one day, make it on to do you know it?
I feel like I would excel in that format, but it does require being there in Austin to be able to play in a fair and balanced manner.
So I'll make that happen someday.
I think you would be good competition because you are.
What year did you graduate high school?
Oh, five.
Oh, five, buddy.
Little younger than being.
I would say you and I would be competitive, very competitive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're both I-20, I-20 adjacent guys.
So we, yeah, that would be, that would be fun.
And Dylan, you know, Dylan would be there too.
He was sitting in this producer chair.
KJ, I'm going to do some on-air audio producing.
You ready for this?
Can you turn yourself down?
You turn off the noise gate.
Turn yourself down.
I'm going to turn yourself.
up here because you're a little hot, I think, in your microphone.
Oh, yeah.
Let me do that.
Go ahead.
You know, we have that.
It's a live show.
That's live YouTube, guys.
Yeah, that's the ability we have here, guys.
We're just doing some on live producing.
So for the people at home who are wondering like, man, this guy pops on from podcasts
from time to time.
It's not like he's doing anything else.
Why would his settings get all fucked up?
That's where you're wrong.
I lose online quite regularly on Twitch.
TV slash partial recall.
It's not good content.
You just see me cuss at a video game from time to time,
get my head kicked in by 20-year-olds in college football.
But, yeah, I fuck my settings up on the reg over there,
and that's what's what's causing today's chaos.
Yeah.
We're good.
It sounds much better now.
You do sound good.
I didn't realize you were twitching that much.
I'm putting in the work, but it's not like, I'm not like publicizing.
You know, I'm not putting it out there on the socials.
Put it out there on the social house.
it is so bad to give so much time to see something and then literally just get online and be like real angry at the end of it.
Yeah.
It just looks bad.
Like it's all upbeat, talking shit, making laughs 20 minutes later.
It's just like it's a fucking game.
I've knocked over my microphone several times.
It's so bad.
So bad.
You ever do a, what's kick?
What's kick?
I mean, I think it's just another streaming platform.
But that's like what clavicular and all they like the maugers are on.
yeah you should do that you should get on there you've already you're already the original frame maugger
dylan and kick that's true that's true i was wishing randy a happy six year anniversary as uh
as my time with wash media began i don't know sometime in the summertime six years ago
but uh it's about this time each year when i'm like yeah uh those trips down to austin
Miss him more than, miss him more than I thought I would when I stopped him.
Man, you got to stop at the check stop, Pauls.
Get you a colotchy.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I think back to the lodge days, because I will always so often see video clips from us back then in the studio then.
I'm like, man, what a shitty little studio we had.
It was.
But it worked.
It worked.
It was just people around the table.
KJ was, they knew him by name at the lodge in Dallas, is what my underscrant.
me.
I will say it's absurd that at least two or three times since then.
I mean, it's been what three years since y'all've been out of the lodge.
And about that same amount of time since Dylan, like, proclaimed gifts or dad that I've
gotten gifts sent to people that I know of me or to me being like, what the hell is this?
Like my dad got one sent to him and a coach is like group text, not knowing it's me.
Like they were just doing the throw up the X GIF and, and, uh, in a group text.
And my dad's like, what the hell?
Do that's, that happens to me from time to time where like somebody for college,
the roast hand has to be high up there.
Yeah.
The roast hand or head exploding.
I think Will's got was Will the head exploding?
He's head exploding.
Yeah.
I'll get somebody from college who haven't talked to in like 15 years and be like,
dude, this got, just got sent my company slack.
I'm like, that's awesome, man.
Glad I could contribute to the dialogue going on in the Accenture Slack.
I want to see if I can log in here and see our most used ones.
The head of Q2 is down.
Quite a bit.
That's so good.
Do you wonder if you've been like attached to layoff announcement at any point in time?
Oh, yeah.
With the roast hand?
Q2's down.
Jenny didn't make it.
Told you.
Man, we should do that again.
We should do more.
More gifts.
Can we sprinkle those in?
There's slow-key, not even announce it.
Dude, it's sneaky.
It's sneaky going to be like our legacy.
Like, the gifs will, will the gifs live on long after we do.
A wise man wants to ask in a song.
I also a wise man once asked, hey, I'm looking for like performance polos and workout gear,
hoodies.
but what if I got some that were university licensed?
Maybe like I'm looking for like all the Purdue gear.
Well, you can find it, not just Purdue, a ton of schools.
KJ's got the SMU on right now.
Roeback.
Check out Roeback.
Load the card up.

Mine's doing cocaine.
Yours is, yeah, yours is poking.
You know, it's for cocaine.
And Dillon's is him and Dillon be like, yeah.
Whatever. KG you can't even see it. Let me see this live. Now you can see KJ. And Dylan's doing the one where he's doing the finger against his head or like the hype house.
They're not too. Those guys fell off. Maybe not hype house per se, but like that genre of kid that genre of Gen Z fell off. The horny one used to be racist biggest one. Yeah. Hello. I like to report horny. Yeah. What happened to horn? I don't know. Gen Z's not as horny as they predicted.
The skeleton roast hand is beating you, Dave.
There's nothing I can do.
I have no control over this.
Dylan breaking his leg is also above.
Well, that's good, man.
I'm glad we could contribute to discourse.
Very fun, very fun stuff.
Hey, I heard you're on a bit of a Pokemon journey.
Pokemon journey.
What's going on there?
What's going on on Pokemon?
Here's a thing, fellas.
there's been a whole world circling us for days, years, months, as we just established, I'm old as fuck.
30 years ago, Pokemon debuted on TV, followed a couple Game Boy games, blah, blah, blah.
Millennials like myself who are obsessed with nostalgia and avoiding the stock market in ways to actually invest or seeking other means of trying to come up a little bit, if you will.
what I'm getting at is I'm out here in these streets trying to catch them all.
Hell yeah.
And I don't know if you've seen any of the headlines of late.
I shared a picture with Randy.
I didn't tell him to prep it for the show today.
Got it right.
Do you mean the news article or your whole?
Do the news.
Yeah, do the news image first.
So I shared a picture with Randy just to kind of give you an understanding of like what we're dealing with here in little Madison, Wisconsin.
We've had people brandishing weapons arguing over spots in line at Best Buy.
Somebody pulled the Bliky?
Pulled the blicky out.
Damn.
Yeah, the guy.
Was it a Charzard?
The guy who is charged with pulling a gun is back at East Best Buy in line right now,
even though he's banned, be safe out there.
They should call the police.
And so you'll notice, A, this has 47.
comments. What I didn't keep in there was like the time of day in which I took the
screenshot where it's two hours before. This was posted at like 9 a.m. while I was in line
at East Best Buy. And so like I'm standing in line and I'll get to kind of how I got there
in a minute, but I'm standing in line and I see this and I'm like, oh, shit, I did see the story
about a guy pulling a gun the other day. I thought it was in the other side of town. We've got two
best spies. I assumed it was the other one. So I kind of
of hadn't really interacted with anybody. I kind of leaned over the lady next to me. I was like, hey,
uh, do you see this? She's like, yeah. She said, did you see the comments? In the comments, one of
those 47 responses is people arguing with an anonymous respond or anonymous poster about he wasn't
banned. Know your facts. Don't just believe what you see in news. Somebody's like, oh, found the guy.
It's not me. I'm the girlfriend, just defending my family, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile,
We set the scene for you.
Again, Best Buy opens at 10.
I'm there like nine.
There's only 10 people in this line.
Oh, no.
So it's one of the nine other people.
Did you have to profile a little bit?
Were you looking like, kind of like, all right, who had the blicky?
I had no clue.
Like, full disclosure to this point, I had not successfully purchased a Pokemon.
item like card.
My mother-in-law had sent something like my son for Christmas,
but then I think I realized like,
oh, hey,
I'm never seeing these at stores.
They have these vending machines.
They never work.
Let me do what anybody would do.
Let me join the Discord.
So I happen to Pokemon,
where do you find whatever, Discord?
Somebody's like, oh, restock, Best Buy.
So I'm like, fuck it.
I'll go.
I got no meetings.
And I see this drama unfolding.
And there's like, the layout is,
we're all against a concrete wall.
You've seen the front of a fucking best buy.
Yeah.
But it does kind of like,
there is a setback of where the doors are.
It's not like a flat front.
So come to find out the guy in question who brandished a gun last week and the girl,
along with a stroller,
we're just kind of around that corner,
which there's like four feet of wall between the doors and where everybody else in line is.
So this whole like,
Facebook drama's going on.
And people are like, we're not nuts, butt in line, but, you know, you're not 10 feet apart.
We're not COVID distancing.
Like, people are very close to each other.
You could literally punch the person that you're talking shit about on Facebook.
And I'm just observing all.
Me being new to the scene, I'd made the mistake of, like, dropping the kids off.
I needed to go pick up something from somewhere else.
I was like, you know what?
I'll just go over there.
Raw dog, the whole thing.
Forgot my headphones at home.
So I'm just out there.
in elements.
Oh.
And so like I'm hearing the people chatter and this going on and out the corner of my eye,
squad car rolls up.
Another squad car rolls up.
And I'm like, wait, shit about to go down.
And I didn't pay attention, but at some point,
somebody had pushed the stroller back to the car.
Again,
I'm not connecting thoughts on who's who at this point.
Just kind of watching the shit unfold.
And then come to find out, he went back to the car with a baby because there was
legitimately a baby on site this entire time.
The girlfriend stayed in line.
Cops like approached the car with him in it eventually tell him to like get fucked like,
no, you're trespassed.
You can't be here.
And meanwhile, I'm like, is this store going to open up or what?
And so long story short, he gets kicked out.
The woman stays in line.
We go in and the way these things work is you get like a limited number of items per person based
on head count.
I think that day they happened to have the holy grail of like these restocks I've found is you can buy these cards and set it to reiterate this is all brought examples yeah so KJ is getting examples out so the funny thing is to that you're you're one of 10 people and two of those people are the perp and his girlfriend which means one of the other seven people is the person that did the Facebook post too.
So they know one of the people online probably posted.
Four of the seven were in the chat.
Like I spent the rest of this time like siph,
siphing between like who's also saying because what happened is the cops go to the car,
tell them to get fucked.
But then the cops also came to her at the door.
And I guess they talked over there.
And I was surprised to find out that modern day Pokemon hunters are not shy.
Like everybody full blown on blast on their phones,
like semi circle around the cops talking to these.
people. And I'm like, what the fuck? So were they even talking like in in person? Or like was it just like
everyone on their phone having this argument while you guys are all standing next to each other?
There was not a single word said between the people in line. Aside from like you could tell like
two people had come together and they were chattering about it. A couple people had come together.
They were kind of there's like murmurs is what you would say like mumbling about it. But nobody
interacted with each other. It's like traders where you know you get down to like the last five or
and you know it's like, okay, two of y'all.
You're looking around.
You're like, I'm talking to y'all.
I can see your profile photos.
I know you're the one that's saying this and you're standing right next to you.
All right, Chad.
I know many of you are against what I'm doing here.
I just want to let you know.
Got the family here.
It's not going to go down like it did.
We don't have to call you called the police.
I see them rolling up.
Okay.
Okay.
Do the Denzel training day.
Like, okay.
Okay.
Basically.
Basically.
And so fast forward, he gets kicked out.
or out of line has to go to the car.
And it's a shopping center like any other,
you know,
you see in Texas where there's five other box stores.
So what do you do if you're an asshole?
I'm just going to drive to the parking space that's like technically more in front of
coals.
And instead of being in front of Best Buy,
like I'm not in your parking lot.
That's where I go.
And so then you see the cop like start waddling over and just kind of give him the
shoe.
And what's the guy do?
He just backs into the row like behind it.
And that continued for like 10 minutes until the store open.
And I'm like, what do you do?
Are things going well if you're an adult man and you are in line for Pokemon at Best Buy?
And you get sent back to your car with your kid.
You're like, now you get sent to time out, time out being a different parking lot.
That's just like not a good like just looking at it, bird's eye view is just not good.
So he does his whole thing.
And that's when I'm like, yeah, there is some unhinged elements going on here.
Like shouts them for being first in line again, but I guess no more.
We get inside.
And I'm again following the crowd.
I don't know the deal here.
I don't know if this is like,
we're sprinting to the product and sprinting back or what.
No,
they've got to figure out.
You just walk.
I didn't know.
I don't know.
I've seen videos.
KJ tears his hamstring again.
It would have been bad.
I've seen some serious videos of,
like, you know, these Pokemon restocks and like people are like fighting over them and like getting
mad at people putting out all the stuff in the card. So I've seen it. 100%. So the way they do it at Best Buy,
like they just walk everybody to the front of line. They've got everything like set on the
calendar. What do you want? And most people are like, give me one of each. And your options essentially,
like most people know you buy Pokemon kind of in these packs, which are like $5 retail. Let me do the
professional, professional, like five bucks a pack or whatever. And then you've got the option where it's like
They come in these multiple packs,
shouts to a little Charzar 10 action there.
Hell yeah.
But what people set out for,
it's like 50 bucks a box,
there goes a little,
uh,
hell yeah.
You're looking for these bad boys.
There's your thumb.
Oh,
well,
I got one for you in a second.
But so that bad boy right there is about 50 bucks.
Megat evolution.
And immediately,
about 200 bucks resell.
Because the resale market right now for Pokemon is dumb insane.
And how much?
How much was it?
So,
$50.
Is this because of the global conflict and the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz?
I mean,
I don't know if it's,
I think it's more has to do with like the shutdown of Top Shot.
I don't know if I shared with you.
I pulled a Kevin Nagandi card yesterday.
Yeah,
that's the ESPN broadcaster,
not a baseball player.
It was in a pack of baseball cards.
Well,
okay.
Well,
what if we said we had a,
Sergei Baca?
graph.
Exactly.
We got a Serja Baca dunk that we can get you a great price.
But not Sergeabaka on the Thunder.
Like late career Sergeabaka.
DJ and Banga checking in.
So again,
50 bucks retells for 200.
That was my first time acquiring Pokemon.
It was like a couple situations that you just saw.
And then the mental game of like,
okay,
is this actually for my son or not?
Because when I sent Randy the photo,
Rain,
I did okay.
We'll see the hall.
Yeah.
And I start to,
um,
I start to rationalize to myself like,
okay,
he didn't know any of this exists.
This wasn't that difficult.
I could go back next week.
Let me pop this bad boy open.
And so I'm here to admit in front of the people.
Uh,
three-fourths of what you see has been open.
I mean,
packaged it.
It looks cool.
I was never a Pokemon guy, but I'm even getting a nostalgic, like feelings from this.
And I've never dabbled.
I watched the show a little bit, but like I never, I don't remember collecting the cards, to be honest with you.
Maybe because it costs money.
I don't know what I grabbed some guy like oil in my hand out.
But yeah.
So I wasn't even like a big thing for me.
I had football cars grown up, but not ever like a collector.
It was just I had them.
They looked cool.
Fun fact.
I had Desert Storm trading cars.
when I was like seven.
Like General Schwartzkopf.
They'd had like F-18s, like jets.
Like, do I swear, I still have them.
I got a desert storm.
I have Army, I have military trading cards
for our conflict, our first Iraq, USA Iraq,
part one, the original.
The playing cards, like, you know,
just regular deck of playing cards
with like all the terrorists.
Yeah, well, they did that.
Got that from a carnival.
We collected the mall.
I wonder if that was because, I mean, I sent to the group text
other day.
I've got friends that work at Lockheed Martin.
But like having Lockheed Martin, they're local,
if they like sponsored a ticket event or something.
And that was their swag that they were given away.
It was like cards to war conflict as a cool thing.
Anyways.
Probably.
So, yeah.
Hit big that day.
Whoa, I got a Kuwaiti oil field.
It's on fire.
Makes for a good photo.
But I did.
also look out and shouts to Best Buy for hitting your boy with an invite to this bad boy
because this bad boy is like 80 bucks, 90 bucks MSRP.
And again, I'm not in this for the money per se.
But immediately upon checking online, we're talking like 300 plus.
Okay.
So in this economy.
So I'm not-
Flip it, dude.
I'm not excusing any behavior, but I understand why these scalpers are doing it
and maybe why you're you're pulling guns on people, man.
Like, this is my livelihood now.
Yeah.
I mean,
I would never pull a gun over Pokemon,
but that's a,
that's an insane.
I did not realize the,
you know,
like the profit that you can get from this stuff.
That's right.
I mean,
I haven't had any,
like,
individual cards.
I've pulled some stuff where it's like,
there's nothing special about it.
Like,
you start putting cards and sleeves and stuff.
But like,
it'll be like,
oh,
15 bucks.
I'm like,
I'm not going to go fucking Facebook marketplace
somebody for a $15 card.
But these big boxes,
I kind of feel like a gambler right now.
And I'm using the fact that I have a six-year-old kid
is my excuse to be able to do it.
It feels great.
No, I like this.
This is way cooler than I thought it would be.
I didn't even know there was the line drama.
That just makes it,
that just makes it all worth it at the end.
Yeah,
he's young enough that he's just excited
probably to get like,
get Pokemon cards and like,
doesn't understand like the rariness and stuff.
So you could pool all them,
sell all the really good ones and still be a good dad
and like give him like Pokemon cards.
this is about this year in a perfect spot right yeah okay j yeah you've really balanced this well
100% yeah so like i don't know if i want to add it to the list of ways kj's almost died i'd be
dramatic and a liar to say like that was the case but you never know it could have been it could
have been i'm bummed that that guy had a proxy his girlfriend got to stay in line so he got he probably
got a bunch of cool stuff too i didn't even emphasize that like the little teal box or whatever
It was like the big thing that everybody got.
They had 11 of them and I was person 12 until Homeboy got kicked out of line.
Oh.
I would have been happy not to get one, but that makes all the difference in like, nobody else
in line would have been happy to be there if they hadn't have gotten one.
The God smiled upon you that day.
Specifically.
And I was like, cool.
Okay.
Until the lady in front of me mentioned, I was like, yeah, totally.
That's awesome.
Like I was faking this the whole way.
I had no idea what to say, what to do.
Like, I was just there for the vibes.
KJ's like, finds this out.
He starts counting all there.
He goes, and he starts getting the Facebook thing.
Like, we really need to get rid of this guy.
Yeah, somebody put in the call.
This was a strategic move from somebody in the back of the line.
Not saying who it might have been.
We don't know who called it in, but this worked out well for some people.
For one person, particularly who was the last person to get the box, one that might be right here on our screen.
Man, I'll tell you this right now.
Catch me in a long line waiting on poncho outdoors because I will wait for poncho because I love it.
It's my go-to.
You saw me yesterday, Randy.
How good did I look at my poncho denim?
My light-washed denim.
You look scumdilions.
Exactly right.
Lightwash, pearl snap, just vibing.
Just totally maugging on Dylan.
You were monging on him so hard.
He's not even here today.
He left.
He had to go on a trip with his wife.
With his wife.
My wife.
I look.
Yeah, dude.
I love it.
I love their, I love their denim.
From day one, you put it on.
It's soft.
Moves with you.
It's not stiff.
I've got some, I'll be honest.
I've got some other denim in my closet, not from poncho, and it is not nearly as comfortable.
Very stiff.
Don't like it.
Got to remain flexible in it.
Pairs well with anything.
They also have great hats, great teas.
The hoodie is a lightweight hoodie that Dylan flew in today is very, very good.
Free shipping, free returns, all backed by the.

and let them know,
circling back sent you.
Hey, remember the Scottish, the Willy Wonka thing?
Or you had like the Willy Wonka event
that was like advertised and everybody went
and it was like,
just really bad. It was all AI images, AI scripted, and people were just like, this, I can't believe
we paid money for this. The unknown. The unknown. He lives in the walls. Yeah, a lesser known
character, the unknown. He did live in the walls. Well, we've got a new one. It's a Barbie
Dreamhouse experience. I don't know if you guys have seen this online. It's been making a little bit of
noise.
I will say a little bit of a red flag, anytime they put something like this together and
it's in a convention center, it's going to be a little bit bootleg because it's a
convention center.
They can't totally trick it up to where you can tell it's like, they can't like immerse you
in this Barbie world.
Because like you look up and there's still like some stuff left over from the, uh, the fucking,
I don't know, C pack.
C pack.
So auto trade event.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The auto trader event.
Yeah, but it's real beating.
Zoom in on this, Randy.
I don't know if I sent you the video too, but.
I don't think I got the video, but.
There's some of the threads of like follow up photos, but I guess before we dive in,
David, I do want to ask, like, have you been asked or have you seen any advertisements
for events like this that seem too good to be true?
would be super cool for your kid to go to the bubble monster jam explosion event.
But it doesn't seem like it's.
No.
The closest I've been, and this was somewhat well done is the hot wheels monster truck thing that they did at Moody, which is way too small of a venue to do monster truck stuff.
They couldn't even do like the full show because it's not big enough.
And it's just incredibly loud.
And you've got to wear headphones.
but this is on a whole other plane.
Now, there was like a, a few years ago, there was a bluey thing, like a bar,
and it was just some dude in like the party city bluey costume you can buy for like 40 bucks,
like just taking pictures with people.
This is like all, it's so bad.
It's just cardboard cutouts of Barbie Dreamhouse stuff that you can go get an Instagram in front of.
Yeah, the coolest thing of this, for the people not at home,
it's being advertised like it's the actual big Barbie Dreamhouse.
house like life size for us and it's just a like thing of turf like bad shitty turf too it's bad
turf uh and then a cardboard cut out of the barbie that doesn't even look like the dream house the coolest
thing here i will say is the new Volkswagen van that is pink that is that if anything it's just an
advertisement for the vans that are back people paid $72 a ticket and then like up to like over 300 for
VIP. That's where they catch you on these things. So I have not actually gone into one of them.
But I've definitely considered multiple events of this ilk. We stayed at the Hilton Anatol in Dallas
for, I don't know, week and a half, two weeks over the holidays a couple years back. And in Dallas,
they've got the Gaylord Hotel, which is known for CPAC and also second CPAC reference.
C-PAC and their ice event each year where they do the big ice sculptures and ice rooms.
We didn't stay there because, again, that event drives costs like crazy.
But then Anatole's been trying to like create their own winter wonderland experience to rival that.
So this year I think they had like, or last year they had one that was theme like Dr. Seuss or something of that nature.
But all that was going through my head was this.
And I swear to you, you go into the room and they intentionally cut down the lights.
and like dim everything overhead for that exact same reason because you cannot fill up
100,000 square feet.
And it's like, yeah, I see the snowblower.
And I see I see the reindeer's ankles right now.
Like, what do we do?
I could hear the generator running.
Exactly.
It says here, other advertised events included a roller rink and a bicycle track.
But one, but Vargas said they had limited skate sizes for kids and a limited.
selection of bike sizes.
Wait, Vargas?
Vargas is somebody who was there.
ASU frat leader Vargas?
No, no, no, different guy.
Okay, well, I was going to say.
That's so, that's really beaten if they just didn't have your kids or skate size.
They just had like a bunch of parking.
How many pairs of size one are they going to bring?
I feel like that's the problem.
Like, they probably have one size, but you're like, yeah, your slot for size 11 is
230, but 220 still got them on.
So one wanted this pink Volkswagen van, and that's all that.
this was. This was just to fund that. And then they just, they grifted it. As Jake says, this is great grift.
Yeah, this is, this is, I'm going to get got by one of these at some point, right?
You think that it's, you mentioned the VIP thing. And it's either the 78 bucks or 300 bucks.
Like, yes, that's their main get. But what happens at these MFers is that you pay the 78.
They get you there. They give you a bag full of stuff with tickets or whatever. And I only know this because like I've dove into the
of like Reddit threads and people's complaints about like princess explosion
um,
when you know,
Palazza,
whatever it's called.
But,
um,
you do this and then you get there and they're like,
oh,
face painting,
25 bucks.
It's not a part of the $78 one.
Oh,
uh,
you know,
you want to do the merry go round,
25 bucks.
Oh,
and inevitably you're pissed about how bad it is,
but your kid doesn't give a shit and your kid's asking for all these up
charges.
So you get from that 75 to 300,
even if you didn't pay it up front.
Yeah, this is the event which was created by mischief management who licensed the Barbie brand had the nerve to charge Barbie fans $72 for a single day pass up to $4502 for VIP ticket holders, which included a swag bag that consisted of a plastic hairbrush and hand sanitizer.
Come on.
Oh my gosh.
Was it feed hand sanitizer?
I mean, the video that's going around on TikTok and on Twitter is just the funny part is it's like two like very adult women like walking around and showing you how bad it is.
But again, they are adult women at the Barbie thing.
I mean, they're not wrong.
It does suck.
And people did end up getting refunds.
This was so bad.
Is this the one?
Yeah, this is the one.
Here, let me.
But they are also very, very adult women, which, you know, no shame.
No shame.
You know.
You might catch me.
a Ninja Turtle pop up?
So people have done like the ice cream museum.
Like those kind of places I feel like are the peak of what this is.
Man.
The ice cream museum is at least like a standing.
Immersive.
It's immersive and it's like a exhibit that lasts like many, many like months.
And it's like a permanent installation.
It's a temporary permanent installation that you go and do stuff.
Where this seems like it was just like a weekend pop up.
Yeah.
There's more work that goes into a Texas Fiji Christmas party than this.
Like the build,
the build for this is,
is like what we would do for like a random like fall rush party.
Yeah.
And it would be our entire budget for the year.
That roller rink is bad.
This is bad.
And also,
why is Brian of Tarth there?
Let me just say this.
If you've got to put on KT tape to a 10-set event.
You cannot be the primary attendee.
Yeah.
Like that should have been the, that should have been the sign.
Like had I been, again, had I been in KT tape at that best buy, I shouldn't have been there.
The, I think the ambition here that's missed is the, uh, space.
I think that's what we keep pointing out.
I agree.
Even at setup, somebody should have said, hey, we don't need this full room, tarp off half of this.
Yeah.
Look at any college football stadium, you know, during most games and we're like, yeah.
We're not putting anybody in the upper bowl.
Move everybody down.
Put them on the side where the cameras are going to be or whatever.
And,
and,
you know,
fake it as best you can.
Because I went to something similar to this,
uh,
over,
over Christmas.
It's like,
it's at Navy Pier and they have like this big area.
It's called Winter Wonderland.
It's for kids.
But like,
they do it every year,
I think.
And I,
it's pretty well done because it's the whole area,
but the whole thing has like kind of carpeting in it.
They have an actual,
ice rink in it. They have some like really big rides, like three really big like carnival ones.
You got a question? Did you say iconic carpeting?
Or kind of carpeting? I kind of carpeting. Sorry, not iconic. I kind of. So it's like it was like
carpet, but it was like turf kind of like that. But it was it was all over the ground.
Okay. Sorry. So it looked better. And then they have a bunch of inflatable slides in like little trains and
so. So the whole thing is filled and it looks like it's, you're still in like a big giant
convention center type thing, but it did feel at least like immersive for the kids, even though
you were still in this big thing. And there's a big Christmas trees everywhere. So it was much better
than this. There's just way too much open space and like nothing here. Yeah. They spend too much
money on balloons. If your kids event is at a convention center, you should, you should start
applying stricter scrutiny before you start spending close to three digits. Very true. And ours was
only like, I think, 30 bucks per person to go too. So like, it was pretty nice. At the, uh,
Austin Trail of Lights, the Christmas thing that they do here.
And it's a decent, it's a good deal.
We did it.
And that's very much like that in the zoo, honestly, where like you pay up,
you do the upcharge and you get more access to different rides.
The zoo, the Dallas Zoo, I will say, I definitely paid for some stuff that I didn't need
to pay for that I would have already had access to what I originally bought.
And I feel like they're intentionally vague.
And like you ask somebody, like, oh no, you can.
You can do the, you can do the safari train with, with his wristband.
I'm like, oh, really?
Cool.
The workers just don't give a fuck.
They didn't care.
They don't know what the premium price, ultra prices are.
There's like four tiers of zoo, of going to the zoo.
It's insane.
And it's a good zoo.
Man.
I respect it.
AIs changed everything, KJ.
I just, I feel like with any of these, like, these are the only things you should go to if you get a free ticket from like.
working at a radio station.
That's the only time I've been.
Like looking at this, I'm like, this looks like an activation.
And then you saw that big wall of sponsors.
Those are the people who paid for everything.
Whatever brand company.com who sells the tickets and like strings it all together
is doing nothing but scraping off the top.
Yeah, love it for him.
When Dan and I went to a brisket fest here, it's like at a nice kind of a bar venue,
music venue that I've been to before, I'm like, all right, let's try it.
It was pop punk cover band stuff.
Man, it was like three vendors that are just like food trucks and they like weren't that good.
And it was so hot.
It was like it was like, oh, this wasn't really what I thought it was going to be.
How much did you drop on that?
I think it was like maybe 20 bucks getting the door.
Okay.
I think it came with like a drink ticket too.
But like it was still, it was it was like the I was expecting like a giant, you know, a bunch of different type of brisket.
Yeah.
I thought we were going to be able to do samples and whatnot.
I was like, no, you get $20, you get one drink ticket, and then you have to buy the brisket
when you're in there from these three food trucks.
You know, I wish I had gone, because one thing about me, I love listening to Pop Punk
while I eat brisket.
You didn't want to listen to Jimmy Eat Brisket?
I loved to listen to Pop Punk cover bands whilst eating my brisket.
I still get emails from Jimmy Eat Brisket.
That's a band?
Yeah, that was the headline.
No, that can't be the band.
We didn't stick around for it.
There's not a Brisket theme pop punk band.
All we watch was the Weezer.
cover band, which was named, I believe,
rustling and Jimmy was the name of their band.
And then we left.
It was Dan and I.
Actually, Dan and I, we tried some of the brisket.
And then we said, you know what?
We're just going to go Leroy and Lewis because it's much better food.
And then we'll come back with our wristbands and see if we want to listen to any more music.
That's what we did.
I'm surprised.
If it's glistening.
Exactly.
That's pretty good.
The Weaser cover band wasn't called.
if you want to destroy my butthole.
No.
Hey,
I'll tell you this.
Okay.
If I had a pop punk,
a brisket theme pop punk cover band,
I would use Shopify to let everybody know about it.

I mean,

What else we got on this here rundown?
Hey, man, shrink or grow, new segment.
All right.
New segment alert.
New segment alert.
Jason Kelsey, Augusta, par three coverage.
Not the par three is during the tournament, but the par three tournament itself.
You're going to have Tuesday or Wednesday?
When is that?
That's Wednesday, I believe.
Wednesday, yeah.
Although I've been wrong about things before.
So Tuesday night is your dinner, the champion's dinner.
You mean Tuesday?
Tuesday?
You've been saying it lately?
People have been calling you out in the chat about it.
Well, you know what?
Fuck the chat.
Oh.
Who brought the chat on the mic?
Fuck.
No, I'm sorry, Chad.
I didn't mean it.
Yeah, Tuesday.
There it is.
Do we need more?
The Calcification of America.
You guys both play college football.
Yeah.
Me and noted University of Cincinnati Hall of Famer, Jason Kelsey.
You might have some insight on this.
Let's see.
I feel like we've got good examples.
What's sad is I've slowly,
come around on Pat McAfee.
And we've been over McAfeeed in a million of ways.
Outside of like the six different channel megacast coverage,
I don't like that McAfee experience,
but I like the other things he does.
Jason Kelsey's following in that Sam Acho,
Pat McAfee mold of like,
hey, people like this guy.
He seems harmless.
He's not overly good looking.
Let's keep force feeding it.
And you've got the Taylor
Swift adjacent pool.
I think we'll all agree.
We're probably,
we were at too much when he did the Corona commercials with flip flops and jeans
or Hilton Garden End commercials,
whatever it is.
It's real bad.
Don't tell Brett.
Let it go.
Never.
I will never let go that Brett wears the jeans and flip flops.
I like,
I like Kelsey show uncomfortable conversations with a Kelsey.
However, the man can win all of my support back during this par three event.
If he wanders on over.
No, stop.
It is over there.
Wander's where?
Like the pro shop and gets you some merch?
A straight foot with a pointed toe and taps the ground who says,
right here, America.
He's not going to do that.
I don't think he's going to give live.
Of course, KJ is referring to the man that killed himself at Ike Spond.
What?
What?
At Augusta?
The founder of Augusta National, I believe.
Look, I don't know.
I'm new here.
I found you guys from Al Jazeera.
What are you talking about?
I don't know.
You guys know better than me.
He was a racist that got a haircut and then killed himself.
Okay.
Allegedly, I don't know.
We don't want to get in trouble.
A Olympian?
A racist?
What?
400?
Okay.
I'm never going to get tickets.
Interesting.
In Georgia?
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
Also, uh, again.
Also drove, uh, under the influence probably.
There's a different time.
People were driving drunk back then.
They were.
They just were.
They had, they were hit him with that a wuga and just fucking roll it.
Is that how old
long ago?
I don't know.
Probably.
You was in a Model T?
Shortly thereafter.
You're going to squeeze the fucking horn.
I guess here's the thing like,
how good could it go?
What would make you walk away from this and say like,
you know what?
Well done,
J.K.
Bring it back.
Who?
Jason,
Kelsey.
I'm sorry, yeah, go ahead.
You know, you know the part three.
Like, all it is, it's like families and stuff.
He's going to be out there just interviewing families.
Like, oh, what's up talking to the Sigods?
You're talking to, oh, there's Rory's Sigod or whoever, you know, and he's going to be doing antics.
It won't be crazy.
He's, you know, this is on the heels of him doing the TGL stuff, which that's more, like,
The TGL stuff is like I did like probably grown at that, but that's, that's perfect for what he brings.
It's a, it's a simulator golf league.
I think that he fits the bill there because the TGL is realizing, I think, that they need space on the course and copyright this trade market.
Prepare to cut this.
If this, uh, if you're in on this sharks.
Live show.
Golf is missing out an opportunity for Red Panda.
okay okay and I feel like in the TGL that is glaringly obvious when you've got 15 people managing the technology of the event um my brain immediately goes like what's the hell is the outside of this warehouse look like and like what are these people like what's their experience walking through to get to this like sound stage is there like a Barbie exhibit on the in the next room over you're mixing bits it feels really like anyways whatever what I'm getting is like Jason Kelsey there
makes sense.
He is the niche reference here, Jim Knox.
He's your end stadium like reporter filling up airtime.
But instead of it just being for the end arena viewers, it's for everybody.
He's taking shots with a bartender.
He's going up on the rafters with a football hat inexplicably.
Or helmet football hat.
What the fuck?
Oh, dude.
What if we get Jason eating a pimento cheese sandwich?
Yeah, that's probably going to happen.
he'll probably eat two of them he's a man of size that that's that's our angle let's prep a uh kelsey bingo card
for for next week and and i think uh hitting the uh cheap what are you going to buy what is he
having what's he eating you know that's that's going to be a blackout for sure but um golf doesn't
have that they don't have space for bits in a gust of all places the place where like
you're not supposed to have space for bits or blacks but like you you you should
have this traditional event and to be like untainted by like this invasion.
You just get to sneak that in there, KJ.
Dude, Condy.
It took a second too.
Dave had to look over at me.
You should be able to name them.
There should be too many to reference.
Dude.
Dude, she did a rack part due.
You've got her fucking rookie card.
Who am I talking to?
I do.
There's a great chance I have her rookie card.
She's probably just a up-and-coming analyst at the agency.
I don't know.
Stanford X.
I don't know.
I should know.
She's a-
Come to find out.
She's the one who handed the ball to G-dubs to do a first pitch,
like his first post-like owner ceremonial first pitch.
Okay.
guys through a strike.
Shout out to knock.
Shout out to noxie.
That's the,
that's the high point for me is that you get Jason Kelsey becoming the gym
Knox of golf.
They tried it with,
I don't mean this in institutional,
I don't know the guy's name.
There's bigger,
also bearded,
blackfeller,
um,
who does the masters,
I believe.
And he's like on the golf channel.
I don't know his name.
And he's really good.
Over does it with his accent.
but they've tried some bits with him
and it comes off a little bit too tokeny
and I'm not even trying to play that card right here
but like that's where I feel like they pull back from it.
I wanted to search for this guy
because I know you're talking about
but I didn't know what the search should be.
I mean, again, there's any five people.
If I search Black Guy Golf Channel,
the list is not going to be long
and I'm not trying to make this whole race thing.
But the guy is good.
I really enjoy his stuff.
They started allowing influencers.
Like I remember people were mad about this last year to do like,
How do you spell influencers?
Is that with or without an eye?
Okay.
You got to stop.
Because I think didn't Jet and Pookie, didn't Jet and Pookie do something last year from like, like, Pookie?
Like, Pookie looks fire with their Pockettos.
Oh, I don't know.
Pookie looks fire right now holding her $2.
She was expecting last year.
I mean, we did talk to Chad about Dude Perfect, what, two, three years ago doing the Masters.
I never thought this.
We'd see the day where you got to have DP at the Masters, KJ.
You ever think about that?
More of a Texas drink.
That's what I like about Texas.
DQ.
It's a Texas stop sign.
Shouldn't be.
Shouldn't be.
It's a very Midwestern establishment.
Yeah, mid-emphasis on mid.
Big facts.
Did you find this guy's name?
I was kind of distracted by thinking of.
the content.
100%.
We're doing good content here.
What's,
I guess what's,
where does this peak for you?
Like,
what would make you enjoy this experience,
factually?
Like,
part three?
I mean,
I have it on at the office
just because I'm like,
dude,
I freaking love the masters.
So we have it on.
And it'll be on.
And it's fine.
I'm not going to actually tune.
No one takes it seriously.
They show the highlights.
Maybe someone's like eight year old
hit a good shot and that's cool.
Or somebody's wife got a whole in one.
Great.
That's cool.
I do want to.
I do like the idea of like a bingo card or Jason Kelsey to see what we get from him.
The pimento cheese sandwich, him going to the pro shop and just wearing a bunch of stuff is a good one.
He can't chug a beer.
It's unbecoming.
Is there like a drink?
Like is a transfusion like the drink of the masters or is there a drink of the masters?
Do they serve alcohol at the masters?
Michael Collins is his name.
But do they serve alcohol at the masters?
Michael Collins.
Wasn't he the guy that he was the first?
third person on the Apollo 11 mission. Fred knows that. That's the first thing that shows up
whenever, that is the first thing that shows up when you search Michael Collins for sure.
So that's wild that you know that. Brett wrote Mike. Brett, Brett, Brett, wrote, he wrote Michael.
He wanted to get full credit for that. It's a very common name. Fair, fair. Anyways.
Okay. Well, I, I hope this doesn't, doesn't take jobs from, from the Michael Collins's of the world.
He's going to be fine.
Is Travis, or Jason Kelsey, he'll be fine.
And I bet Travis, I bet Killa Trav will be walking around the grounds.
He's a golf guy.
Dude.
Of his little bucket hat on over his eyes.
I'll put that on the people card.
If we get, uh, Taylor Swift there, that'd be freaking epic.
Shut up.
No, you'll, you'll get Mama Kelsey there, but nobody will be there to take pictures of it.
Because, of course, you know, tradition and whatnot.
Ken Griffey will be.
Ken Griffey will be there.
Yes, that's true.
Can we pivot to talking about,
photos of another golfer recently that were a little unbecoming and maybe some information we learned
after the fact unless uh cat yeah i we haven't directly talked i mean we all know probably where we
stand on this event but just curious to know if this changes your opinion about the event i'm not
talking about it shut on i'm not talking about it you put an embargo on it okay randy uh yeah look
he had he had a couple uh he had the hydrocodones in the pocket okay maybe that that
I don't, doesn't say if they were his prescription or not.
We don't know.
This is just what the police have said.
They said he had dilated pupils.
Kay and eyes were glossed over.
He was just in a wreck.
Of course, he was sweating profusely.
He just rolled the, he rolled the Porsche or whatever it was, the rover.
Yeah, he was sweating.
Probably very scary for him.
He said he looked down at his phone, clipped the car in front of him,
next thing you know, he's on, it's on side.
Who could do this three times in one life?
Yeah, the benefit of the doubt there is kind of, kind of lost.
And this is your like third time.
You're saying this is modus operandi?
I'm not hilarious.
His MO?
It's just wild to have three like vehicular incidents, but they all, like, none of them are just you fuck the front of the car up.
Aubrey McClendon didn't even roll his shit probably.
Okay.
Not.
I mean, yeah.
people in Oklahoma City are just scratching their head right now.
Like, why?
Why?
Okay.
I was watching some clip of a kid at a Thunder game,
giving a shirt to another one.
So whatever.
I had to close Twitter after Barbie stuff.
Anyways,
I don't know how you end up with your car rolled so many times what I'm getting at.
Is beyond me.
You're right.
You're right.
I mean,
people forget the last,
the last one was very,
very close to,
like,
being catastrophic.
It was very bad.
It wasn't just like,
Oh, he rolled it.
I mean, he went like off the road.
I'm not laughing.
I'm just saying it was very dramatic
and it just flew off the road and rolled.
Like it was like a bad,
it was like the end of one battle after the next.
Sean Pan.
Spoiler.
A movie Dylan refuses to make it through for some reason.
It's type of stuff that you see on.
Like Mission Impossible when,
you know,
cars are flying on the highway and stuff.
Exactly.
What's so funny?
What do you got?
No, no, no, no.
My brain is just going to the hot rod, like, super clip, which was rolling down the hill.
But that was not in a car.
But that's just all I think of when the California edition of his rolled vehicle.
I'm glad he's okay.
Do the pills change your opinion on this, or are they any sort of surprise?
Or it's like, yeah, we get it.
We expected it.
He should have the pills.
That's not a problem.
Yeah, like if they're, I mean, if they're his pills, he had every right to have them in his pocket.
Correct.
that being said like does it if i'm looking at it like just objectively does it make it more
or less likely that he was under the influence of something probably more but prove it
prove it's there that's that's on the state to prove and and maybe they will maybe they won't i don't
i don't know i mean it does it doesn't change the fact that like the guy needs to i hate to say it
but like i mean i said the other day it's just probably just stop focusing on
golf and start focusing more on like becoming pain free without pills if that's possible and also
just not driving not driving just not i mean that's like been said 10 10 million times in the last
week by everyone but like honestly like come on man i don't know it's it's something you do for show
it's a big part of the game you kind of got to have it um i get it i really do it was a stretch but i'm proud
driving he's of course referencing the the driving of a golf ball which he's right is a big part of the game
you're right um i i will say with this like my my reaction when we get the headline today like hey pills
and pocket blah blah i would say you should be better about how to handle which i know there's
addiction involved.
Like if it was a situation where he's like, I need to take this pill.
I'm at a place.
I know I've got this distance to go.
And he missed triangulated like, okay, this is going to kick in 15 minutes.
I've got a 10 minute drive.
I don't know.
I'm making excuses.
I don't even know the scene.
I get it.
But at this point in your career, and I mean like your career with pain pills, you should
know how to manage that situation.
You know what I mean?
Like I feel like once you're at that level of addiction, whether it's,
drinking or otherwise. You have enough evasion tactics. You have enough bullshit in your bag to be
like, here's how I'm going to get from point A to point B, no pun intended. So if nothing else,
the disappointment's there, the hope that he gets better and gets what he needs is there,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm not like pro. Hey, he should go wreck and this is tragic. Like I get it.
I'm more of like just disappointed in the bad actions of a potential, no fault of his own, you know,
pain pill addict if that in fact is the case i don't blame people for pain pill addiction because
that shit's not like on them sure sure it's yeah um you know there's like that okay but when you've got
act you know the whole thing he's got access to every resource possible as far as like making sure
he doesn't roll another vehicle yeah he should he should take a like if you're a legend at that level
in your sport you should probably like
I know some people are doing like PJs like just do a helicopter like on demand.
Like what's the worst that could happen?
I can think about the worst that could happen.
KJ, was that a way?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What is this?
How do you want to end the show on this note?
Is this what you wanted to do?
You went from you went from Tiger to Kobe just like that?
What the hell?
Could have been doing.
There's others.
Stevie Rayvon.
But professional athlete.
Oh.
Yeah, you guys got more on Tiger?
I forgot to.
No, I don't think we do.
Okay.
Doesn't sound like we can read.
I don't think we do.
I don't think we do.
I forgot to do something at the beginning of the episode.
So that's why.
What if you started doing the David Blaine balloon thing?
The section.
Where you just grab on and you travel via floating balloons?
just hanging like you just like everywhere i don't know it's probably not practical especially
just in day-to-day life but people forget david david blaine just rod-dogged a balloon ride we watched
it that morning we did it was pretty cool the grip strength on that guy he was in a harness
was he yeah all right well i guess i'll fuck off that but he was still holding him but he was in a harness
still not it's still nuts kj where can we find you
in your content.
You can find me online.
I need to be more active on the socias,
but that's KJ Ellis with ones as the else.
I know that I'm shadow banned
on some parts of Twitter out there,
but you know,
you look far and wide enough
and you can find me.
Very cool.
I have an announcement.
I'm going to do it at the very beginning
of the episode, but I'm going to do it here
for the real ones that are sticking around.
I forgot that the winners of Bit Madness,
the top three people
here that I will be reaching out to
to send you guys
some little prizes.
Our tied for second, we have
meat up spelled as meat
as in the animal.
And then
backing in Boston, they tied for second.
So I'll be reaching out to both of you guys.
And then our number one was
Steph's bracket.
So congratulations, Steph.
You have won Bit Madness this year.
And I will be reaching out and I'll be getting you guys
a little prize.
Swine Chinin moment
Four Steff's bracket
Backing in Boston already
has hit me up on email
So he he's ready
Cool
Well thanks for everybody who did a bracket
KJ did your bracket bust this year
I picked SMU to win it all
We lost in the playing game
We were out night one
Who'd you lose
Wait didn't you lose the
Miami, Ohio shooting like 80%.
That's right.
Yeah, we should have more of a buzz about that.
Like the Purdue, Texas thing, we had a good buzz, but we needed more SMU, you know,
Will's Miami of Ohio.
You and Dylan were like-
Yeah, Will wouldn't claim it loud enough.
You're right, he doesn't.
But Dylan and Will, these two are the worst to have like, because like they're both
afraid to like talk noise.
Like Dylan's so like, like secretly into it.
Not even secretly, but Dylan doesn't talk shit.
Because he knows if things don't go well for him.
He doesn't want people dunking on him.
And also, I don't think he cares enough about basketball compared to football too.
So it's like everything for him was like, you know, I'm glad they're doing well.
Where I'm the opposite, where I'm like, I don't trust any.
They could be the most dominant team ever in the history of college basketball.
I still would not trust it.
I'm where I don't have, I'm stewing on a take.
I got a take right now.
I've got the ingredients.
I haven't, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
do with it. But I'll give you those ingredients. It's a Sean Miller will, and the Texas men's basketball
program will win a Natty before the football program. I'm not willing to say that yet, but I'm
going to think about it because I really think Sean Miller is a great coach. We saw it in this run.
I think he's going to be able to recruit his ass off. I'm just saying. And winning a Natty
in college football's hard. Let me get into my Dylan mode. Dude, you like sneakily like,
hate Texas and always talking shit.
That's not hating.
No, no, but you're saying the football.
Like, you're downplaying our football.
Arch?
Okay.
You're doing a decent diller.
This is not a bad diller.
I mean, it's not the best, but you're right.
You're right.
I'm just saying I believe in Sean Miller.
I think he's a really good coach, a sweaty coach, too.
I believe in John Henry.
Okay.
Well, on that note, KJ, any final thoughts?
No, thank you for having me.
fellas uh appreciate everybody sticking around through the uh producer melt down at the front
end all brought on by me producer week we we recovered we covered quite quickly it's live
with that a john henry your coach reference or john henry the steel driving bastard that's the
only thing that i was thinking is tall tells john henry isn't there wasn't there like a wrestler
that ever say you say i believe in john henry say his name and he'll be there isn't that the grapes
some wrath.
Maybe it's the wrong reference.
I don't know.
All right.
Well, we'll get to the bottom of this.
We'll leave the show tomorrow.
We'll figure it out.
All right, KJ, thanks for doing it.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
