All right, we're back. Circle a back podcast Monday morning. How we're doing, chat? My name is Dave. Welcome to the show. That metal's drop gets me every time, dude. I think it's a good way for me to start a show. You know, I just like it.

It's fun. You're talking about the one that we've been doing for many months? Yeah, yeah. Shout out Sam Taylor. Randy, some people were pretty, Producer Randy, ladies and gentlemen, the real glue guy here on the pod. Hi, Dave. I'm rocking a new angle today on the camera if you're watching on Spotify at home.

What's the deal? Where are you coming at him from? It's the same. It's just now that you can see a little bit more of the wall, because every single time I have to sit like this to you guys and then I'm off in the corner of the screen. I should be more centered, you know? So if anyone has any ideas to put something up on this wall, now you can see it, let me see it. know. It's just one little sliver. I can see it. I can see the frame right now. You can't decorate that. Yeah, look at it. I mean, you can't decorate a little sliver. You can decorate a little bit of sliver. Rainy, I can see it on the little screen on the camera.

Oh. Yeah. You can see it. Yeah. But thanks for turning your giant fourth screen at me. You're welcome. Got the fucking Truman show over there. Fourth screen. What is that a, uh, no, uh, you know, kink book about TVs. you guys don't even know what fourth wing is that wasn't even a joke for you guys but the lot of people that very porn it's it's dragon porn dragon's fucking dragon rider porn i don't think the dragons actually do any of the fucking i showed uh i think i showed dillon willis picture i caught uh pulled up on two lizards on my agave the other day and they were in coitus and i was like oh you didn't because i thought i thought they were fighting i was like oh shit i don't like that

my lizards are fighting and then i watched and oh this isn't fight oh they have the hemo peens out. This isn't fighting. She wants a lizard with a slow claw, whatever. They don't have claws. What do they fuck? I saw them do. Someone says a long picture of a hot dog. I like that.

Okay. A long picture of a hot dog. I didn't show you that would go perfect right there. No. I thought I did. No. Maybe you sent it to Will. I brought it back in. Maybe it's Brett. He brought the lizards back in? Now I brought the fed hell. Let him finish their business. It felt bad. I felt like I was intruding, but they were doing it in public.

So, or my private property. There was two right in front of our office the other day that we thought that we were watching. They were doing a mating ritual. Those two. This was actually during, they were just like, they looked up at me and I was like, my bad dude, you know I got to get a pick of this. You know I'm getting a pick of this. That's called voyeurism. Yeah. What two consenting reptiles choose to do on my private property this is not your private property oh this is at your this is the daddy's this is on the agave yeah i've got a gavel you should have uh you make your own tequila yeah i went to this trip to mexico okay what happened there i went to the patron i got a bunch of gear and i took like 8000 picks what randy suddenly has influencer voice yeah it's not fair okay

The voice, you know, Randy, Dylan Schifery, whatever. Two things. I didn't realize it was PGA Championship Week until about one minute. Let's get Dan on to give some picks. Secondly. He's taking it easy this week, he told me. But I bet we can get on and talk a little goth. About 20 seconds before we went live, I shared some information with these guys.

I said I have a little, I have a mild headache. You know, wasn't expecting a lot of sympathy my way, but maybe some support. And they just made fun of me for it. They just mocked me. So that's what I'm dealing with here. Hopefully your coworkers are nicer to you. guys. Ah, but here, I don't know, man.

Why don't you go ahead and show the folks at home your new baseball. Got a baseball from our friend Barrett who stopped by on Friday. Tall fella. Yes, not me. Dude, he talks like our Barrett. You pointed that out, and it's so true. The Charlotte Knights is a baseball that he brought me. He's from Charlotte.

Shout out to all the Charlotte backers, the Charlottons. And he brought me a mug. Charlotte was on our list of potential meetup destinations, but they lost out to New York. But I think they held their own in that competition, though, if I recall. Charlotte's a stronghold. We love our Charlotte people.

He brought me a Viagra Boys compact disc unopened. So shout to him. And he brought us some cases. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Oh, my God. It's ironic considering Mr. Bluchy himself. Considering I get what, raw carbone or is like what? What's the Viagra Boys?

You're a Viagra Boys? on that like gay club hit banger playlist that we listened to on the way to we were looking for viagra boys a certain song and i think i mean what it was what was it called like gay it was gay club bangers yeah it was like very on the nose like very like oh yeah this is exactly what we're doing and to be fair they were bangers they were all bangers we listened to that as we're coming up uh 67 going up on 35 6 7 good one Shout out to Marvin D. Love. All right, Dylan Schivory, good stuff.

Thanks, man. I am pretty stoked about this week of content we have to look forward to. Tomorrow, exactly five on Patreon, I reckon. Yes. Exactly five minutes. I'll put up a prompt for all to respond to. Patreon was great last week. We did Colcoast, and then we did our listener voicemails, which are also good.

Support your Patreon, folks. Best way to help the squad. Support it. Otherwise, I'm going to get mad and leave. Oh. Okay. The next person that does that cancels, I'm going to go take a job with, I'm just going to finally do it. I'm going to the ringer. I'm going to go podcast with Bill. Oh, no. Don't go podcast with Bill.

We need you here. No, I want to do it, dude. You're a valued member of this. I want to be in the mix. I want to jump in on the six-pack segment. We need you in this little outfit here. You're a known contributor. I am a known contributor. Thank you, Randall. We also have a known newsletter.

Got some subscribers added. It came out Friday. It comes out every Friday. It's in your little inbox. You get to work and you'll go, you'll do this. Crack your knuckles, shake them out a little bit, and then start typing away on your keyboard. Or if you're Randy, you'll just start pounding away at your keyboard.

And then you'll see it's in your inbox. And you start reading, put on your computer glasses. I got mine all on me, by the way. They're in my pocket. Which pocket? This one. I could put them on. Put them on.

And then the case? Because they're going to get crushed in there. No. It's not like my nuts. You don't even have that. That video, that old guy, crushing his nuts when he crosses his leg, hits my timeline like every week.

So good. Did I get in Dylan? What was that? No, that's exactly what it is. He goes, he goes, he goes, it's like a meeting. Which almost makes me think that it wasn't that because every, all real,

all real nut boys know, when you crush or get hit in the nuts, There's at least a half second to one second delay. There's like a, you do it, and then it's like, or maybe he knew it was coming because of the way he said. I don't know if that happened. I don't know. Have you ever sat on your nuts?

It's just pretty immediate. I've never said. I've never done it. I've only done it. You got some hangers? No, getting on a bike. Like, because the way you swing over your leg and like every, every so often, often they get into a weird position.

So Jimmy Johns, when you're constantly getting on off the bike, like it probably happened to me maybe three times. you have some swangers on you do i don't know you were uh let me tell you you'll sit them on your bike every so did you watch the boys yet um there's a character i would really like to reference here we're um we're only like 20 minutes in go well you'll you'll know when when you watch the you guys why i'm bringing uh my roommate fell asleep it's a good episode okay i'm going to be honest with you the the two hat mustache glasses guys is is throwing me off now dave I'll be honest, I don't plan on wearing these on the show,

but I did have them my pocket. Yeah, you look good, man. You look scrum, Dilly. Rayband? You got some Raybans? What does set you back? You want to know a fun fact? They were some of the cheaper ones at this place because this place was like, do you like Persol?

I'm like, yeah, I love Persol. Also, not looking to walk out of here. $600 pour for some computer glasses. So I bought these. Glass is expensive, I learned. No matter what. We do suggest you purchase from Warby Parker, one of today's sponsors. Right.

Did not, oh, is it one of today's? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Whatever. I didn't have that option. Didn't have the option. No, I email Brett, and Brett's like, sorry, man. Warby doesn't talk to us after somebody asks too many questions.

Oh, man, okay, so they do gum, they do pouches and breakers. A pouch is like the standard pouch that you probably know about already. The breaker is what I use. It's a pouch, but has a little flavor capsule inside.

It also releases hydration. So when you bite down on it, it's fun, by the way, to do so. But it releases flavor and hydration. And I love these things. I pop one in before we record every single time. I have one in right now. I do the Apple Ice 8 milligram breaker. Comes in 4, 8, and 12.

All right. Gum comes as little as 2 milligram, Dave. And the pouches just like the breaker, I believe they're also 4, 812. He's right. Lucy is the only pouch that delivers long-lasting, on-demand flavor. Get 20% off your first order.

And right here. that's the mind and the heart what's it about inside out too uh mainly about you know your inside thoughts and emotions and you know going being young and learning about what being a human is and your sense of self that sounds great that's beautiful man yeah if you never seen

pre-designed things and it'll draw animals and all their stuff. And there's an app and it lights up and just very calming and it just will draw a picture in the sand. We need to hack his app and too just like a big weaner. Don't put a weaner on my table. You would like, you would appreciate it. You have to admit that would be pretty fun. It would be pretty funny. I'd be like, what's going on?

We hack it? Why is it so detailed? Every morning, get up and go out there and get out there and get. your little, I bet you pour your Cheerios and you go set it down and you look at the table and it's just like a message. Dave put a cock on the table again. What? Something wrong?

It's just that word, man. Table? Chelsea's family, they don't listen to the podcast, but like, someday they're going to tune in. Like, oh, this is how you make a living, huh? C word. Well, thanks for not listening, y'all. Yeah. To the, uh, Chelsea's family.

I don't know their name. nice people I'm sure just don't listen to the show and that's fine not everybody needs to listen maybe they catch the clips so they at least follow us on the Instagram follows on the gram they follow me what they do yeah but got a bunch of stuff done clean up the house and uh chilled at the pool for a little while it's very very sunny sunny nice uh weekend oh brett just got in uh and then i finished uh generation kill last night dave did it make you think differently about Iraq War II? Yeah.

Yeah, I did. Did it make you want to go pop some rip fuel? Rip fuel? No. Just pound energy drinks, just rip fuel with the boys? It did make me go, oh, hmm. A lot different than I thought things went down. Hey, it had gone down differently that I'd been there.

Yeah, or Mark Wahlberg. Or Mark. Well, good. I'm glad you finished it. Did you watch it with Jason? Yep. So we finish that out and I'm going to start Band of Brothers maybe this week. Jesus, dude. You guys are just bonding. Yeah. We don't live together anymore. We need male friendship to stay alive.

It's the whole thing we're doing here at circling back. What's it all about that? But yeah, that's about it. Dylan. Thanks for asking, Dave. Friday, I volunteered at Parks' school, his last elementary field day. and I volunteered at everyone since we've been there and this is the last one like I said and it was a good time.

I worked the Rockwall station. More on that later. A little, uh, got a little something to share on that. That was fun. Chelsea and I stepped out for dinner Friday night. I'm not going to say where we went

because you guys just can be like, Oh, is it ECHO? Is it Cho? Oh, then we watched, you guys got to step out a little bit. Then we watched Civil War,

which was the, a movie from 2024 captain america no you were saying that you don't call it that you were saying you call it the war of northern aggression kirsten dunst jesse plemens kaley spainey i enjoyed it i'm not going to say it was like the best movie i've ever seen but i did enjoy it really what did you take away from it um it's about it's about a modern day civil war by the way it's not about the one that happened a while back you like to call it the war between the war between the States. This was, you said there's nothing civil about that war.

Texas and California teamed up to, to form the Western, Western forces, I think they, the WF. So it was them against the United States military. Oh, yeah. Sorry, the WWF. Oh, Randy Savage. Okay. Wait, where's New Mexico and Arizona? And where's the whole block there?

They didn't get to that. They sat it out. Western forces, I think it was just Texas. in California that teamed up, which is an interesting combination of states to team up in a civil war, I think. Yeah, what was the, without giving anything away, what was the main gripe? Well, like, Abbott and Newsom with, like, you know, Predator Handshake? It didn't get into, but they were trying to secede. Like, were they trying to secede to form their own? Or is it like a just...

Yeah, form their own nation. And there's a major Civil War broke out. Anyway, it's an, it's an enjoyable. The main characters, they play wartime, journalists, photojournalists. And so they're just following the action around. It's pretty wild. Generation kill. Last 20 minutes were nuts. War wartime journalist is also in Wayne's World.

Yeah. Parks had a baseball game Saturday. All right. They took the L. Okay. They're like three and nine. That's not a good season. But playoffs, they playoffs start Wednesday and they are the last seed in the playoffs.

Parks had a good game, man. He had a double. Cut a track down a fly ball in left field. Made it made a nice catch. But the boys, man, they, I don't know, they can't find the wind column too often. That's okay. Everything starts over in the playoffs. Sunday, happy, happy belated Mother's Day to all the mommy's out there.

Mother! Of course, Parks is with his mom, so Chelsea's had a day of chores. We did go to the pool for a little bit. I got a little son, as you can probably tell. Whoa, he has sun kissed everyone. If you're not watching, you can't see. And that's pretty much it. We made a steak last night.

Chelsea makes the stakes in our house, and she does a, this is probably her best one, yeah. You know, made one steak? We made one big steak and shared it, yeah. She was sick of you microwaving them? I don't, I don't do that. I don't do that. How'd she do it on the cast iron?

Cast iron, yeah. Okay. Yeah, clarified butter. She does a good job, man. And that's it. Watch some of the boys until she fell asleep. So I got that to finish tonight. I need a start.

Time out. Didn't you start the boys last week the same episode? No, no. Okay. No. That was your first go at the newest episode. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to need you to go ahead and finish that. I'm going to finish it tonight, Hans. Do you know how many episodes deep up there in? Five or six, maybe? The deep is actually in all of them. Yeah, right? How many episodes are left?

I don't know. This is the last season, though. I kind of like not knowing what's, uh, you go in when you know, like oh this is the pen ultimate or like this is the finale you kind of go in with different expectations where you're like well i'm going to be blown away by this pen ultimate it's the pen ultimate the game of thrones sure breaking bad sure you don't want to know how many they're going to be no yeah hey that's my weekend man it's a pretty solid one about you davy are you not you're not going to tell me are you no you're not going to spoil it i'm looking at myself well uh my weekend

and fun. Where do I begin? We played a lot of T-ball. It's playoff time. And I'll get to, I'll have more on that later. But we have had, we had a game Saturday and we had a game Sunday. I'll start with the game Saturday. We had a game. It was 430 first pitch, first T, got about an inning through and then we could see i'm i'm tracking the dar i got my windy app open and i'm like ew i was like this is a little close you could see it you could see the uh the cell just over downtown eastward close enough to where it's in the radius for a lighting delay so we got the um got the text had the lightning delay it's one of those ones where i was like god are they just going to call it. And then we're,

me and Rhodes are in the car. It was just me and him. And got the text, hey, it's now going to be, it's going to start. No, actually, the game started at 2.30, actually. I said, oh, right, game is going to be, we're looking at 3.30 start time.

Then every time you'd get another text, bump us back 20 minutes, 20 minutes. Started back up at like 4.30. It was like an 80 minute lightning delay. But the fun thing was, the storm put zero rain down on us. So people were just kind of out by the cars

and the kids were all hanging out in the back of one of the cars. And you're watching blue skies on this side. It was a real juxtaposition. You got the blue skies over here, then you look over, and then you're just seeing the backside of this very intense severe thunderstorm.

And you're hearing some thunder. And it was just, you're waiting for it to move and watching the radar, and it's just creeping down 35. Got it back in, got the win. That was their second playoff, one in a row. And then had a game yesterday.

Did the same thing. Oh, by the way, yesterday's, or the rain delay game to make it even better, ended in a dead tie with equal outs. So we played extra innings. Fantastic. It was like a four-hour day at the baseball field. That's awesome. And it was also piping hot. How piping hot was, how humid and hot was Saturday.

So much so that I am such a dummy I wore these gray gap shorts that I have drawstring And I realized like well this was a mistake I'm always sweating Alyssa who was waiting for Sammy to get up from a nap And like hey I'm gonna come up there If the game's gonna start back up

Like okay and I was like I want you go into my drawer and grab me some shorts Because daddy's gonna do a little wardrobe change I change shorts You didn't want all the kids calling you a stinky bud or something I wasn't really about the steak, but it was more just the swamp ass. S sweaty butt. Yeah, it was just, I was like, this is stupid.

It was a total error on me. I was like, how did I not think this through? It was hot all day. It was miserable. Very, very warm. Saturday night, watched UFC. Great card. UFC might be back.

Sean Strickland is now your title holder. All right. We'll see where that goes. sure Paramount loves that got some clips out there um great fight great fight i thought he had a chance uh dan and i think we said he's got a chance i didn't expect it but um shan did it man shout out to him combat sports minute with dave that was it remember that segment everybody loved it um yesterday mother's day got up got up early with the kids but just a great guy let the their mother sleep in a little bit and then made a breakfast made some smoothies for the boys

hung out play a lot of uno whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa let's take it back there a second Dave I remember beginning of circling back even touching base days you would always used to tell us about your smoothies what were in these smoothies uh vanilla weight protein okay a little bit of honey a little bit of just a splash little cinnamon um milk water combo. I don't do full milk. Ice, a little bit of peanut butter and some banana, and then the last two strawberries we had. There we go. That was for Rhodes and Sam. You're going to get back on your optimized smoothie-ish? That's like the most I do. I don't really put crazy stuff in. I used to put crazy stuff in my smoothie.

That's a good call back. I used to like glutamine and all that type of. I don't do that. It is just too much. I was putting avocado. What else was I putting in there? Crazy shit. That didn't even taste good. I was just drinking it. Cocaine. Cocaine.

These are better. Then what I just said? Yeah. Go ahead. Let's hear. Let's hear. Okay. You want to know mine?

Yeah. I also do a water milk combo, but I do almond milk. That's not. Okay. You already lost. I do a scoop of chocolate way protein, a little peanut butter. I do a little dash of cinnamon as well. I do about three quarters of a frozen banana.

I do frozen spinach. I got to have to call you on that. Why three quarters and why not just the whole banana? You really, come on, man. Because that's, it's about as much as I like. What are you doing with that last quarter? Well, I chop up a banana into fourths, usually. And I just throw them in a bag and throw them in the freezer.

So I just throw them in three-fourths. I just grab three little pieces, pop them in. Okay. All right. And a little creatine. And that's that. So it's essentially the same smoothie. Sands, creatine, and frozen blueberries.

About 12 of them. I just, yeah, almond milk, I guess. Hey, comment below, who has the butter smoothie? Are you else your weekend? Thank you, Randy. Set the wife off to dinner. You sent her off? Sent her and her friend off.

Me and a fellow husband, we booked a res for them at ATX Casina. Said, y'all go out on us. Oh. Get you, get you some drinks, get you some Mexican food. maybe a falafi or two I don't know if they have flalata and it was good left uh

you're probably wondering what did Dave have for dinner what did Dave have for dinner did Dave have for dinner did Dave cast iron a ribbi you didn't we already had it in there and it was planned we were going to do

we were going to do a pasta dish with a sliced up ribbi and it just so fell into my lap like ah I guess we got we got to cook this to day. Yeah, it's gotta go bad. I did a little early salt of it. Let's sit out and then do it on that cast iron. And next thing you know, I'm just, I had a steak and pie. I literally had steak and pineapple for dinner and it was delightful. Just a big old rabbi. Sounds like it was

father's day. You know what? That's just the way the, the cookie crumbled. You understand? I do. And that's that. Oh, man, what a day. What a great day to put on your Tukov's boots. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's every day, really. But today's just... Always a great day. Today's great, man. Anywhere worth going is worth going in good boots, find your perfect pair with Ticova's. Ticova's crafts, quality Western boots for everyone from generational ranchers, lifelong cowboys, first-time boot buyers. Dillon just got some boots. I say that. He got him a few months back. Cart rights. Black boots. Black cart rights, man. They are, I wear them to formal events. I got married in them. I wear them out to the ranch. I go to the

discotheca with these things on. Dude, I saw you out there on the east side of the discotheca. Yeah. Boots. I was boot scooting all over the dance floor. Chels made you get rid of those really tall pointy boots. Yeah, she doesn't like those. So you got your to-Covas. They embarrass her. So you got to use some Tukovas is what she said to me. And then I did. And they treat me very wild day. You can order them online or you can go into the store. Go to the store. There's stores like unmatched. They got one in South Congress. They got one in the domain in Austin. And there's Probably one in a city near you. Go check it out.

We're getting cooked in the comment. Yeah. Deservidly so. Listen, polarizing topics, polarizing commentary. It's the only way to make a living these days. They tend to perform well on social media. And so I have no problem sharing an opinion that might not be shared by, you know, the vast majority. And that's okay.

Bad take maxing. Dude, how good is it that you don't have to say the word hot take anymore? Remember when hot take was like, you got to stop saying that. But anytime we post something like this, I just, I kind of just batten down the hatches and just wait for the fallout because I know that I'm going to get some. I haven't read through the comments, is what I'm trying to say. Because I assume that people are talking shit on me, call me an old, you know, chunk of coal or whatever. You called me Unk in the clip, which I think set up nicely.

But I think the good part about this clip, I didn't say anything too bad. And you guys, you guys took the, the opposite. We just, we just threw gas on the fire, basically. Well, you, you defended the bananas a bit. A little bit. I think that makes for a solid clip. We posted a clip. Shout out to Cool Adam for the clip.

And I knew, I mean, this is, this one like, this one, I know, this has, this checks the boxes. Bananas are very much in the geist right now. Very geisty. Very geisty. He just had the big Kyle Field thing. And then also you had Dylan, which is like a very, it was,

didn't beat around the bush. It was like mockery of baseball, don't like it. Listen, I'm just an old seam hit, you know. Baseball is a beautiful game. America's pastime.

I grew up playing and I love the game. And so, yeah, I'm not a huge Savannah bananas guy. And I shared that opinion, of course. And, well, a lot of people made the Harlem Globetrotters, comparison, like, says the same thing.

Okay. And you're looking on Instagram. I got TikTok open here. Oh, I have not looked there. You actually are getting some support. You had some people saying abolish the bananas. This guy points out, good thing it's banana ball and not baseball. Yeah, people are saying that pointing out that there's different rules.

It's a different game. I mean, okay. Okay. This guy posted a picture just says, I hate having fun. Yep. Yeah, most of the criticism I'm getting is that people like, oh, I guess you just don't like fun. I do like fun. That's just not my idea of fun.

Look, I respect what they're doing. I mean, they have a massive audience and I think their demographic is, you know, kids, people under the age of, you know, 17. This is the one that was kind of mean. It was a hidden one. The availability of podcast equipment for absolute losers to voice their dog shit opinion should be regulated. Who are these fucking losers, smiley or cry face? your opinion doesn't matter you aren't important no one thinks of any of anyone of you guys during their day well there's a few people who do actually no one thinks of you guys during their day

all right here's one uh there i'll give you two i'll give you one that's uh i bet he also hates smiles and fun is that true do you hate smiles and fun those comments are so dumb uh and then someone does say savannah bananas are the worst thing ever to happen to baseball and then they're getting comments back replies to them how but Anabal wants to emphasize audience entertainment, like stuff like that. There are some, there's a Texas tailgator, I believe, in the comments somewhere, who wants us to go out to a game and I guess win me over. I will take, well, let's definitely take him up on that. All right, some of these are getting weird.

Dude's got a cock looking stick up his ass. What? What's that me? What? This one says, washed up, dork hates fun. This guy says, what a pussy take. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Regular baseball is fucking gay.

Oh, come on, man. What? Went to watch the bananas, best baseball I've ever watched. Everyone there had the time of their lives. Back, back to that guy who said baseball is gay. If you like banana ball but don't like real baseball, that's a you problem, dude.

I'm sorry. People just say that baseball is boring and that MLB is making a mockery of baseball. Do you agree with that? A lot of people pointing out of, out that MLB is already making baseball mockery. So a lot of a lot of criticisms towards

Major League Baseball, they're kind of like, have you guys been following this? What's the rationale behind that? You think they gave it? No. No. I mean, because baseball is a slow game. How about this? How about this, Dylan? I don't give a fuck about the dancing and the backflips and stuff, but I think

the rules are legitimately interesting. It's interesting. The rules? Do you know the rules have been at a ball? They have one rule I think it's kind of fun. I'll give it to them. Is it the fly ball to the fan? Yeah, if a fan catches a foul ball,

like in the air, it counts as an out, I think that's fun. I think the lame-ass MLB is making a mockery of baseball. Baseball is boring anyway. Dude, the pitch clock has really done a lot for like the slow... For sure.

The slow criticism of the game. This guy says, so are they just going to ignore the U.S. military intervening in Central America in the Caribbean, known commonly as the Banana Wars. I'm sure if that's to do anything.

That guy was David Ruff. That was Dave, that comment that. Because when I'm not open it, he would be the first comments. That does sound like a Dave. Impressive CTE level take. I don't have CTE. Yeah, for sure.

What's that about? No, you're good. What was happening to you before the show? Dude a Longhorn and hates fun. I don't know what that means. Okay. Best one. What does that mean?

Best one, knowing. Dude in the glasses definitely uses single-ply toilet paper. Which is very funny because I don't know if that's a fan or if that's someone just giving you like shit because of that could be that go either way i don't even know what that means okay this is okay here you go not as bad of a mockery is what the angels have done with trout and previously show hay on the roster you know what you're not wrong hey that's actually a good that's that's i like that people were just kind of jumping in to throw out their personal gripes that's a good take yeah uh i think

is the the real kaden bowler uh says fine i won't come on the podcast i believe he plays for the coconuts. So we've got at least three people from banana ball commenting across the coconuts. Okay. I didn't know there was a coconut. Where are the coconuts from?

I'm not sure. Let me see. This could end with you taking an AB. Can I be the golden batter? Maybe. Yeah, I mean... I mean, Tyler Tony took out, right? He struck out.

So if you make contact, you put it in play. You've won up them. you would be dude perfecto how mad would he be if you went up there and just put one in a gap yeah that'd be so sick that would be sick that'd be so sick you just went opo yeah dude uh you go you start getting in the cage i still got it how's that bat speed they've got guys you throw gas they got like legit guys you can throw it's my it's my reaction time i think i'll be most worried about you know i'm a bit older but now you got glasses it's true you should get

LASIC for this. I don't know for this potential A.B. I just, I don't know if that's really something that makes a lot of sense. He's kind of trying to back out of this potential A.B. Andy, Randy.

I'm trying to figure out where the coconuts. It's the local, Loco Beach coconuts. It's probably like South Carolina. I don't know where Loco beaches. I'm trying to, somewhere out that way.

Man. Orlando? No, I don't know. Oh, yeah. Hold on. The best one I comment. This is the most tone-deaf take I've ever heard.

Boo. like baseball when it's slow and boring. I bet this guy was anti-pitch clock, too. What a dingus. Someone is making baseball engaging fun to watch and they aren't trying to make me take out alone to get a hot dog and a beer. Disgusting. Dude, you got called a dingus. That's tough. You have to admit that's tough. Criticizing my take and shitting on regular baseball, I think is a bad, is a bad look. Oh, okay. So here. Because if you like banana ball, you have to like baseball to some degree, like regular baseball. There's a lot of people in here who I wonder if they call, I wonder if they're into

disc golf and call regular golf ball golf. And if that's the case, I, I like a j-bone bit. Take your business else. Yeah, my neighbor calls it that unironically. Shut up. What do you think about this? What do you think of this? A lot of peaked in high school and haven't played baseball in year slash decades in the

comments. All right. Yeah, that does describe me. Look, here's the deal. But the loco beach is a team represents the beach mindset in party atmosphere rather than a specific geographical city. It means crazy beach. So there you go. Hey, you're a crazy beach.

They don't have a home field? I guess not. So I guess I wonder if the firefighters or the party animals do either. Like Texas tailgators, clear some Texas. What's the one, the party animals? I'm pretty sure. Party animals is definitely a team. Oh, that's sick.

They're like the, they just party. The black pink and like green one. Tailgators. You want a jersey hanging? We'll hang your jersey. We'll hang your jersey. We will. Send us one.

Yeah. Sign it too. But you have to do like sign it with something wacky. How about this? Can you maybe say that you won't get behind the Savannah bananas, but you're open to getting behind the Texas tailgators? I just, I can't see myself getting behind banana bowl in general, man. It's just, look, it's just not my cup of tea.

Look, Dave and I will go. If that Texas tailgator really wants to give us tickets, Dave and I will go. Well, I'll be honest. I, I'm already taking my first. five-year-old to a AAA game to where Round Rock. Round Rock. And I'm like, do I take him to

I don't want to confuse him? You know what I mean? Like, he's just getting into the game. I don't want to like take him to a banana's game or a tailgator's game and he's like... He thinks stilts are just a part of the game. Yeah, or like, yeah, he's like, dad, do I have to like, do I have to sea walk on my way to first? No, you're not to seewalk. You're good.

You're good, buddy. You could just take your base. Make sure you're run through the bag though yeah why is the umpire doing a back flip hey i couldn't help but notice if the one of the umpires his face like had a ski mask on what's up with that yeah i don't i don't know i honestly don't know this guy's this guy's not even wearing sleeves yeah it's a weird deal i mean that they did do that in uh mlb that one time uh yeah you're right oh my gosh i forgot about that jersey's without sleeves shout out to banana bowlers look if you like it, that's fine. I have no problem with you like

and stuff. I love that you're holding the baseball. I have no problem with you liking banana ball. I don't. I'm just an old seam head, Dave. You know? Just an old seam head. Bet on the rest. I might DM that tailgator that said that tickets on him from the account just to see. You're like, hey, let's talk. The only tailgator

I DM is Michael Budlite's ultimate tailgator. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We have a lot of fun. We have a lot of rowdiness. Parks wants to learn how to throw a curabow. I'm trying to teach him. You should get him preemptive T.J. I should. He doesn't have it down yet. How old is he?

He's got small hands. He's 10? He's 11. 11? Yeah. I think now's the time. Get him Tommy Johns. Probably misses a year, but we can get him on some peptides.

You should see my knuckle ball. It's kind of nasty right now. I practice it every day. Every day parks has practice. I would put that thing right back down your throat. Probably. You'd have to wear my little league, like our little kids pitch or mask. Do they have to wear?

I can't throw it yet fast enough to where it actually dances around, but it has no rotation on it. How fast is your knuckle ball, like 40? It's really hard to throw that with anything. Probably like 45 right now, but, you know, I need to try to dial it up a bit more. I still got the yips too, so that's a problem. I'm actually, I'm just pulling that thing.

That's how I grip it. There's only one knuckle down on the ball, actually. Yeah. Then you get two fingertips touching the ball. There's a pitch I've been working on, and they only let people use it in the game yet because it's unhittable. It's called the thumby.

Okay. It's just like this. You just throw it like that. It's like a thumbs up. Damn. You throw it like that and it just goes up and down like that. Holy shit. Right before it hits the plate, it stops.

That defies physics. Yeah, it's crazy. It's the thumby. Just, whoop. Yeah, I just don't feel like this. I don't recommend teaching parts yet. Right, right.

Here's the rub on the thumby. You, most pictures can only throw it 10 times in their life. Because it's just, it's hell on your arm. It's such hell on your arm. It'll cause a blood, cloud and you'll die. So you have to keep track. On the 11th one. 11th one. No one has survived. Jeez. But be careful. In a pinch, you need an out. Like you need a strike.

Well, Randy, you're the nut guy, so why don't you tell us about these big old balls you're trying to get, bud?

I could use some size in there, but I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not maxing anything. You're not ball-maxing because apparently people are ball-maxing right now. You're saying B-A-L-L? Yeah. Okay. Ball maxing. We're talking about testicles here.

All right. This comes to us from Vice. This is a real Vice headline. Dave used to do a segment called real or fake Vice headlines. This one is a real one. Inside ball maxing, the niche practice of inflating your balls to cantalope size. That's too big. Whoa, what?

Ball maxing involves pumping fluid into the scrotum, which doctors warn can cause tissue damage, infertility, and worse. It says Marcus has a scrotal sack to size. of a small cantaloupe. He's 57. He's been at this for over 30 years and has absolutely absolutely no plans to stop. He's a vet. The practice is called ball-maxing and is exactly what it sounds like inflating the scrotum with fluid till it reaches the size that have no business existing on a human body. The most common method involves running saline through an IV line into the scrotal sack via a butterfly needle inserted where the base of the penis meets the scrotum. A leader of saline

inflates things for 24 to 42 hours. More fluid means longer effects. So he's just making water balloons out of his sack. He, this guy, Marcus has graduated. I don't know who Marcus is, just a random guy. He's graduated into injecting surgolube, which is a water-soluble surgical lubricant and has reportedly stretched his sack to 14 and a half inches.

So this is what Marcus has been up to ever since he ate 37 slices of pizza at C.C. Marcus Lopez. Not that, Marcus? He says, I'm astonished at how flexible the testicles are. He says, they just expand. What if when, like, the aliens got here, they were like, Hey, man, take me to your leader. And you're like, all right, come on.

We'll take you to the White House. Like, no, no, no, you're leader of saline. I'm trying to get these balls bare. You're a leader. You understand the reference, Dylan. There's a subreddit that is called saline inflation. Why are you ignoring me? This is a serious proposition that might happen, Dylan.

Oh, man. A subreddit, it's called Saline Inflation, has 8,700 followers. And as people just, like, sharing pictures and talking about their experiences, and inflating their balls. I haven't gone there yet. Okay, I'll click there. Fine. Oh, my God.

Oh, man. Oh, my God. What am I looking at here? Probably big old balls. Yeah, it sounds like some inflated testing. But it's what it does. us to the weiner. It like swallows the weiner. What? Damn. Dude, I'll show you all this. Damn, shoddy. I'll show you all this later. Oh my God. Why would you post this? I don't even see a

weiner there anymore. Uh, okay. Are you, is this what you're really concerned about getting pants while you're wearing shorts or the liner? Yeah, what's going on? Why are you trying to get people to pants you? Is it, do you want people to see your big old balls now that you've been ball maxing? Do you all not have that? Do you all not have that? Do you all? Do you don't have that I don't have the thought of getting pants. I have the thought of like the liner not being like, I think like the liner being like not, you know, like an older pair or something. And it's like, what if it's, what if it's not.

Okay. I definitely had the thought before doing, but it's not something I think about regular. On Twitter, I'm not really around people who would pants me anymore. I posted that I have an irrational fear that when I wear built in liner shorts that if someone pantses me, because I think when I was a kid, I think someone pantsed me and I had underwear on and like i was like oh i'm glad i learned where on tidy whitey you know what i mean or else my my my my dingdong would have been showing do dodo stains and so with liner if someone panted you you got you got no protection under there so it's just it's like in the back of my mind when my i was uh i was

i grew up with the crew that without the pantsing was funny yeah there's a friend of me flounder was getting pants pretty frequently back in the day parks brought up panting recently kids because kids at a school are starting to do it look here's the deal it's not cool but it is hilarious. You just got to be careful not to grab undies and shorts at the same time because you don't want to really expose someone like that. Oh, that's...

But you see, Dave, the fear here is that the shorts and the undies are all one thing with Dylan with his pants with the liner, you see? So that's where his fear comes from. His big old balls with the salient just gonna be out there for everyone to see. This subreddit is one of the most disturbing things

I've ever seen in my entire life. Why would they choose to do behind closed doors? People are really fucking doing this. I mean, like, you hear, like, you hear, like, somebody's saying, oh, that guy's got balls. That guy, oh, he's got, that dude, that guy saved that, that, that deal. He's got big balls.

Do not, I actually want big balls. Do not go to this subreddit. I don't know. Do not. Randy could barely ride a bike now as is. Okay. Okay. Why do, why would anyone want big balls?

Ball's just getting away. like who wants big ball someone mentioned the chat too is the first thing i thought about think about that uh that south park episode they all got a ball cancer they're bouncing on them and stuff maybe that's it i don't i don't want my balls to be bigger than they are just get them removed this might just be like a my strange addiction type thing i mean people are doing it would you rather be the ball maxer or the guy who's like addicted to eating a couch uh the couch guy. Really? Yeah. Think it through. Yeah. He'd be the best pledge ever. Like, guys, I got this. This was on me. You're like the worm and the boys. Yeah. The couch.

Yeah, that would be a terrible waste of a superpower. The guy has a really bad superpower. The DirtyEater one. There's another one coming up that I'm just going to need you. You'll know when you see it. I need a catch up. I need to start. by any of ketchup. Oh, like, so your whole thing is like, you just eat ketchup. Yeah, that would be my superhero that I can eat ketchup. Oh, man. All right. But, uh, yeah, I will not be ball maxing anytime soon.

David, will you? No, I'm, I'm hoping to avoid anything else down there. Yeah, you don't even have balls. What am I talking about? But Dylan's intrigued. He can't get off the subreddit. I've clicked out. I clicked out.

I clicked out. After you hit follow. No. It's funny that there's the Trump gold statue and then like there's a whole plot in the boys about this gold with the gold homelander statue. It's like too long.

It's like how? How did they know? Is this maybe they, I mean, it's just it's amazing. There are quite a few parallels in the Homlanders. Yeah. I'm loving the soldier boy stuff. I don't have much on Soldier Boy until this season.

Maybe that's what it's supposed to be. But there's going to be a prequel. show after this that I almost certainly be in on. Yeah, about like Homelander when he was like the guy. Okay. Not Homeliner, excuse me. Soldier Boy when he was the guy. I like that.

I do like Jensen Eacles. Looking for that V1 right now. You! Soldier Boy, tell him. Superman, that hoe. What does that mean? Oh, man, we just copped that soldier boy. Drake's

Flow barbara Have you gone through these UFO files? No Okay What do you think I do? I go to T-ball games I'm at home I don't have time

Plus like dude I don't want to get into it No get into it No it just It just seems like If I was looking at it objectively I'd be like man why It's a crazy time to release it

There's a lot of other stuff going on Such as Why would they release it right now? such as some files and some straits of certain waterways yeah now Cuba our friends in Cuba oh okay I don't know ma'am all I know is this the hentai virus that too I thought of that that's a good that's you that's what you've got the pervert alert I don't know why but memes that are just like random shirts that people pretend to find at thrift stores

that clearly someone made always like make me laugh and what I saw says, wait, you mean to tell me they have hentai on that ship? Like I got a big kick out of that. That's so dumb. Like, no, who's making that shirt? No, that's not. Immediately putting in a thrift store.

What's the account? Like shirts that rock or something like that. Mm. Tell you this, man. I'm going to tell you a little thing about Spotify or shop. Hold on. Tell you this, man, I want to tell you a little thing about Shopify. Shopify.

I guess we're going to talk a little ball. So I mentioned in my weekend and fun. Dill mentioned it in his, we were around the diamond over the weekend and last week.

We're in playoff season here on the 6 UT ball team. Serious stuff, 18 teams. We're down to the final eight. And wouldn't you know, there's a little 12 seed bucking. There's a little 12 seed bucking their heads a little bit. You know, so many teams, man. 18 teams.

Yeah, that's a lot. I gotta say. And we're playing like, it's, oh, I wouldn't, you win Saturday? We've got a game the next day. Mother's Day. And everybody's like, oh, people are like, oh, Mother's Day. And then there's, like, the crew of dads that I'm rolling with. They're like, we got to win this thing.

We got to keep this thing going. We fucking, this is great. It's loving it. Everybody's loving it. We were worried. I was worried. I mean, everybody was probably worried. Like, after the long delay extra innings game,

I'm like, are the boys going to be zapped? They're going to be able to get up tomorrow and go out there at noon, quick turnaround for a playoff game against a team that's beat us already in the season. It was a character game. It was a character game for these lives, and they did it. Maybe their best game in the year all around defensively and at the plate, man. And I don't want it to end. They're loving it.

They're excited. Rhodes is like, got to watch my jersey for tomorrow. I got to wash everything. And I just got to say, it has just been a real pleasure. This is my first go at it with like a serious, it's T-ball. Dude, it's a blast, isn't it? It's fun on a number of levels. First of all, every dad, if you grew up playing sports, you grew up playing baseball,

you just like being out at the park. It's just fun being on the diamond, being near it, watching it. It's also fun watching kids play baseball and get better week to week year to year. That's fun. Also, it's just a great opportunity to watch your kid. You don't really get a chance to watch them interact with other. kids for that long and just, you know, and sit back and watch it. You know what I mean? It's not like you're with them at school. You don't know like what they're doing with their buddies. You don't

get to see watching them in the dugout and watching how they like, you know, horseplay and how they joke around. You don't get to see a ton of that. So yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to miss it. And that's like that that was a thing about team sports that I didn't really think about, like just watching them become social. At that level, I mean, these are young kids. We're talking five years old. Five and six. They don't follow like the score like the dads do. I'm telling you, man, the dads at that level are more competitive about the result of the

game than the kids are. At Parks' level, like, they know what the hell's going on. So they know their scoreboard watch and all that. And they get really into wins and losses. But like, I'm right there with them. Like I get anxious during like crucial moments in the game. So in this, in this league, they're like, they'll, at this point, though, a couple of them will ask, like, are we winning?

Like how many runs, you know, and I'm like, I always just tell them like, it's really close or I'll just make it's all tied up. We've got to score runs here. We've got to get some outs just so they don't like, you know, start coasting. But yeah, because there's not a scoreboard in T-ball. Yeah. It's probably for the best. You could probably just go ahead and put five up and five more. It's a five-run max is what he's saying.

Yeah. And it's, it's, I'm going to be, I'm going to be sad when it's done. because it's been it's been fun this little run when they they didn't keep in mind this same team we did not win a game last season and then this year we're you know won like three or four games in the regular season an hour lost our first playoff game was double in elimination and then we've run off three in a row and it's been fun rose has caught the bug i mean you're gonna be back at it in the fall we'll be back at it in the fall yeah i told them like i'm like buddy yeah we we probably won't play summer ball but like go out to the park work on our craft and we'll be back at the fall we'll be back at the fall a little bit. I'm already worried about, so Parks has after this season, he's going to have two left, I believe, in Little League, because he'll be in sixth grade next year, and then after that, it's on a, you know, Pony League ball. I'm worried that he's going to want to stop after Little League. I'm going to be real sad about it. Because, I mean, the step up in competition and, like, how the game is played from Little League to Pony League is pretty big. Yeah. And I just want him to,

like, enjoy it enough to want to keep going. I'm worried that it's not going to, he's not going to, not going to be there. Yeah, I've, I've wrestled with that. And it's like, you know, he gets burned out or he's obviously has not been playing it very long, but like his buddies stop and do something else. But I think like one thing they've got going is I think they can stay. We did it last year. Our team, we had a different team name, but same coach, most, the same core group of players

at this level at least, stay together. So I think that helps, not like having new, new cast of characters each time. Yeah. So yeah, it's, you know, got another one tonight, hopefully, and we'll see. Either way, like, I was just happy we went over the week, won a couple over the weekend. Yeah. Mark says his playoff start Wednesday. It's a double elimination, so we have at least two games left.

Okay. Okay. Excuse me. Yeah, the step up in competition. It's going to be tough. We're losing next season. We'll lose a couple six-year-olds who are dogs. Yeah, it's kind of sad in our league because the coach pitch, there are a lot of teams.

The next level up is like the first level of kid pitch called minors, and there are fewer teams. And parks is in the majors this year, and there aren't even fewer teams. So, like, kids lose interest and, like, quit playing. And so it's kind of sad to see the, like, the number of players kind of dwindle as they get older. Yeah. Happens. Happen to me. Could happen to you?

Could happen to your family. Yeah, and I want to encourage him to keep going, but I also don't want to, like, push it on him because he'll resent, he'll resent that, and he'll just, he won't have as much fun. And I'm like, man, I shouldn't have pushed him to play this year. So I truly want him to choose to want to be out there. And he has so far, and it's been fine.

I worry. What if he, like, offers you an ultimatum says, dad, I'll stick with baseball, but I got to get a pair of stilts go out there and hit. Yeah, I don't think so. Or a unicycle. I mean, the deal I made with him is that you got to be, yet to be in some kind of

sport, some kind of extracurricular you know, so luckily it's been baseball so far. He does jujitsu too, but that doesn't take up a lot of this time. He's just rolling, getting on the mats a little bit. We'll keep you posted. We'll track.

That's W-A-R-B-B-Y-Y-Y-Y. Parker.com slash steen. Let me talk about field day a little bit longer, if you don't mind. So I worked field day on Friday, and I was on the rock wall station. Okay. Is this like a real, like competitive field day where they give? Okay. Oh, they get super competitive.

In the rock wall station, basically you climb a rock wall from the starting point. And then at the end of it, there's a little hula hoop. You got to get your feet down in the hula hoop. So you climb the wall, jump down, stops the time. My job was, I was operating the timer the whole time. We'll stopwatch was mounted on the wall. It looks a lot like that, actually, the one we have in the studio. Big green button.

So I'm like, I start it. They climb the wall. I stop it. All right. So I did third through fifth grade. So the bigger kids. They had earlier in the day they did the younger kids. So that was my station.

And so I saw every kid from third. fourth and fifth grade go through this station and the times varied quite a bit like there were some kids who were over a minute and this was only like a this is like 20 feet of wall so it wasn't it wasn't a big deal there were kids that went over a minute they were you know not great so so it's more horizontal exactly did were they like strapped up like the harnesses or because they they just started on the floor and they the raw the wall itself was only like eight feet tall okay got um and so i'm watching the kids go and they're a kid like i said Over a minute, some of them, but they probably averaged around like 17 to 20 seconds.

All right. That was like a respectable score. Then fifth grade comes through and they're, you know, getting pretty fast. And I was watching the kids and I was, I was, when Parks' friends came through, I was giving them tips. I was like, hey, this is what you do. Stay low on the wall. Some kids are climbing high for no reason at all. Stay low on the wall.

When you get close enough to the loop, just jump. And I'll stop the timer. Like, okay. his friends start going and there were some sub 10 second ones there's uh for a while the the fastest time was like 8.4 something like that some of his buddies got like sub aides and finally finally one of his friends got a sub six she got it was a girl she got a 595 it was pretty good i was like no one's beating this record uh finally the second last group one kid goes through and just flies across the wall jumps down the hula hoop stop it four point

seven seconds. Guess who that kid was? Was it Parks? Parks. Whoa. Had the school record at the Rockwall, it beat it by over a full second. I was blown away. I was like, dude, what just happened there? He just flew across this thing and then just jumped, planted his feet. And I was like, dude, let's fucking go.

So is it the, it's like the, just the grips? Like different, different ones? Yeah, exactly. Just like you see it, like the one that was at Lifetime. I don't know if it's still there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like that. But he was so upset because there was a lot of commotion when he set the record. And I was like, dude, you did it. He was jumping around, screaming, telling all his buddies. It didn't get reported.

Like, it wasn't, like, recorded correctly. And so at the end, they're announcing, like, all the best times and scores for all the different events. And for the Rock Wall, they gave it to some other class. Some kid got, like, a 7.8. It was like, that wasn't even, like, top five. Like, what are we doing here? Parks was so mad that he didn't get recognized in front of the whole school.

I was like, dude, you still did it, though. You still set the record. I am the only one who recorded times throughout the entire day. So he got the record, although it wasn't officially recognized in front of the whole school. He was bummed about that.

But I couldn't believe it. I was like, this is my kid? Has he ever, did he like doing that? Is he a good climber? No. I love the Rockwell. It's not his thing at all.

Oh, no. Was there some collusion? There was it? I'm telling you, man. I told him how to do it. Because on the very bottom, like, level of the rock, there were a little stepping rocks where you could do it the fastest time, just stay low.

You couldn't, you know, obviously step off the wall. You got to stay on it the whole time. But his score was totally legit. His time was totally legit. How does that happen, though? Like, you're saying there's multiple, like, sub-sixes and sub-like? It's because the kids were supposed to report their scores to, like, each class had their own record keepers.

like it was a volunteer parent and they just wrote down like top scores and times for all the events and it just didn't get it didn't get do we need to call it or didn't get turned in something happened um and so the wrong the wrong kid got credit for the best time wrong kid died and i was like man he was crushed what's the kid what's the kid's name i don't even i don't even know who was i don't know yeah that's that's really annoying if i would have been the first one and like didn't get a ribbon and all that. I would have made a stink. I would have like, no.

Challenge him to a rock off. He had the best time by over an entire second. It was nuts. Not even close. Yeah, that seems like a pretty bad system from the school of putting up. I mean, it's volunteer parents. You should ride into like Jimmy Fallon or something and maybe Jimmy will have them on. With the rock wall.

Yeah, like, hey, this is the real, this is the rifle rock wall champion. I was proud of him, though. It was a cool moment. Heck yeah, dude. Maybe he's a climber. Maybe he is, man. Grip strength like crazy. Yeah.

Shoulders. He's gonna... He's a light, he's a light, boy. He was so psyched. Anyway. Maybe he'll like free solo K2 or something like that. I hope not. No, I'm gonna put my foot down on that.

Dude. No, no free climbing. His dad just smokes K2. That's right. I do. Looking for parks. Yeah, that's sick. It was awesome.

It really was. Do you want me acknowledge a registered nurse in the chat? said that had a patient that had a, I'm not going to go through everything, but their balls were somewhere between cantaloupe and watermelon size. Oh, God. It took two nurses to get him up to the bathroom. Isn't that wild?

Wait, what are we doing? He did it to himself? Nah, it seemed like it was a complication. I don't know if it's hip-up, so I'm not going to go completely into it. I guess hippas only if you actually say their name, right? Right. Yeah, don't. We're not going to get hippoed by describing them.

It was David Ruff. That's why he doesn't have balls anymore. Don't inject your test. He's full of, oh my God, look at the size of those balls. Oh, man, he's got some major league nuts. Some big old testicles. They really be doing it like that here on Earth.

Oh, man. Those images are stuck in my brain now. It, like, swallows the wiener up. It just a second off. A little hole in the top where the wean are supposed to be. I'm double-cuffed up with saline. About to inject it. Right, to the scrote.

I'm really like that. All right. Bye. Bye. See ya. Hey, y'all. It's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfarer. Ever order furniture online and wonder what if?
