all right we're back the circling back podcast live from austin texas my name is will debris to my right dave ruff Something that's clearly never been done before. There's three guys in here doing a podcast. All three are drinking coffee out of a Dell Match Play World Golf Championship Yeti. It's actually shocking that we're all using this considering we all got a bunch of like Callaway Epic Flash Yetis that we should be using. But Sally has commandeered every single one of mine at this point. My wife mine as well yeah this would be much more noteworthy if we didn't get these together at the same event you know if it was like super random like we just happen to all go to the event separately and get the yeah same you know well i wanted to flex a little bit it is pretty cool though i want people to know that we watch golf

live in person i mean it's a great it's a it's a great rambler a lot of people don't have that opportunity to go to a Dell match play in Austin. That's fair. Chris Harrison included. We learned that recently. Yeah, he's not a Pete Dye guy. Hates Pete Dye with a passion. Maybe a little too much.

There's something up. Something happened. Calm down, Chris. I would tell you all if I knew, but there's something clearly went down there. I don't have that much contempt in my life for a lot of like a lot of people he hates pete dye more than i hate pretty much anybody you hate ben crenshaw though i don't hate ben you don't like his designs i like ben crenshaw just fine damn that's gentle that husky voice over there is dylan shivery he's gentle ben great to be back in the studio episode Episode four, I guess, is what this is.

Great segue, because you're known as Gentle Dylan. No one has ever called me Gentle Dylan. We're not doing episode numbers. I know. We're just going to start shooting from the hit. Yeah. Hey, are you aware? What?

It's Henley Wednesday. Is it? Yeah. Why don't you tell me? I thought about texting you. No, we don't meet on Thursdays anymore. I know. So I can't do henley

thursday so i guess it makes sense it would be henley henley's out yeah i think so dude so dude had body bagged them we had a short run column at one point for those for the folks at home who are new here let's get bared on the horn he'll john duda is a uh former writer at postgradproblems.com hold up on and also a good friend of ours we're gonna gas duda up in just a little bit here i'm gonna gas himassing him up. I'm just identifying. He body bagged Henleys. I think he just said at one point in a column that you can do better than a Henley when going out. I do think it's more casual wear.

Yeah. You can't. I don't think you can take it to a bar. I don't have the pet game for Henleys, but I still wear them. I think it's okay in Austin if you're going to Little Woodrow's, which is like a sports bar. It's got to be casual. Yeah, if you're like Dylan and you're going to Rooftop or Pop on a weekend.

Yeah, you can't be caught wearing a Henley. First of all, I don't go to those places. You know that. But, yeah, if you're hitting the club and you're trying to talk to women or something, maybe leave the Henley at home. Let's talk to the women. Hello, I'd like to talk to the ladies. You know what I'm saying.

Yes, can I have a table where there's a lot of women? Everyone knows there are nights you go out with your boys to just bullshit and get drunk. You got to throw on that button down with jeans. And then there are other nights when you go out to meet ladies. These are two different mindsets. I've been out of the game for like four years. There are two different mindsets. I've been out of the game for like four years. There are two different mindsets when going out. You know one thing I learned about Dylan is that when he goes out,

and we're going to a nicer place, one thing he loves to wear is jeans, a button-down tucked in, but he untucks the back so just the front part's tucked in. Just stop saying this stuff. So his belt buckle shows through. Last time I tucked a shirt in was when I wore a suit. No, that's how you go out. It's not how I go out, Dave.

I'm a firm non-tucker. Everyone knows I don't tuck. He tosses on that smell good, too. Tucker Carlson over here. The last time I sat next to Dylan at a group dinner, I couldn't breathe because he had so much cologne on. I only tuck when I go to weddings and wear a suit, and it becomes...

That's nice of you. I untuck when I hit the dance floor, too. How long until you start going untucked, t-shirt underneath your suit jacket like colton did um i that's not a look that's the one thing i regret not asking colton that's not a look for me that's the one thing yes i wish that he would have acknowledged the fact that he wore black t-shirts underneath his suits for rose ceremonies i need to know oh that's the don nelson Nelson. Why is that acceptable, though? You know, that's been a look for a while.

He's not pioneering this or anything. It's been around. People get all over this look during his season with Becca. Wait, let's be clear here. You're talking about a t-shirt under a suit jacket or a sport coat? Yeah. He did it every time. He did it on a t-shirt, like an Urban Outfitters t-shirt. He did it every single time. did it on a t-shirt, like an Urban Outfitters t-shirt. He did it every single time.

Or just a single color. You shouldn't wear it out. It's a look that people have been doing for a minute. Well, I know. But I feel like it's gymnastics coaches and dudes that are trying to not look like they're 45 anymore. Oh, that's not what I think. Why don't you just add Dylan? Come on, man.

I'm really catching it, this show far yeah hey deserve it you got to get knocked down sometimes um i gotta i gotta point something out we're talking about tucking in shirts a look i know we're getting this isn't even on the run sheet no a look that i want to be able to pull off but i can't because i'm in my uh early to mid 30s and i'm not an athlete anymore you're an athlete guy who goes to the gym, tucks in into his shorts. It's kind of an obnoxious baseball guy move. You can absolutely do that. I remember from back in the day.

Duda does that. I don't want to put Duda on blast. I do that around my apartment sometimes. Here's who looks good with that look. Guys who have very, very powerful thighs. Why? I don't have that yet. I'm trying.

It just doesn't look good. It really just brings out like if you are somebody who is uh i don't know has has the chicken leg gene like myself like i'm not gonna say anybody else in here ross bowen our friend ross bowen he's a big proponent of this uh then you can't tuck in chicken legs yeah i'm not gonna he's got he's caught it enough as i have thin legs yeah they're not chicken they're just... I feel like that's pretty constricting if you're tucking in at the gym. When you're moving big boy weight like we do,

you need the... Yeah, your shirt's going to come untouched. You need the free motion of... You know, turn the torso a little bit. More out there. Throw those arms up over your head. We're doing functional training. We don't do functional training.

I'm all about function. Why would anyone who doesn't use their body as their trade functionally train do functional training it makes no sense get better at their hobby like if your hobby's golf i guess yeah what if you're like a fly fisherman and you gotta get like the muscles down you don't need to be in good shape to be a fly fisherman yeah you do no you don't you clearly have never ripped lips i haven't either i've gone fly fishing once and i caught nothing rip one time for me shouts to charlie let's get some logistics out of the way training first and foremost i want to extend a I haven't either. I've gone fly fishing once and I caught nothing. Rip one time for me. Shouts to Charlie.

Let's get some logistics out of the way. First and foremost, I want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who matched that subscribe button because not only did we debut at number two on the comedy charts, but number six worldwide on iTunes. Were there any podcasts ahead of us? Clearly, since we were number two. Joe Rogan was ahead of us. Really? That was it on comedy?

That was it on comedy.. Joe Rogan was ahead of us. Really? That was it on comedy? That was it on comedy. Only Joe Rogan. I was really happy to go ahead of the My Favorite Murder Girls. I have a personal vendetta against them, not because they put out bad content, but because I really wanted to beat them when I released Sunday Scaries.

And when I got in the car on release day, Sally was just listening to them, and I single-handedly blame her for putting them ahead of me. Wow, she put them over the top. top yeah so your boy wasn't happy with that why do you have a problem why do you have a problem with successful women i don't i actually don't like their podcast so i'm not into true crime podcasts um they're doing something that doesn't surprise me i just they don't do much for me these niche things like i need like a big i need like a big scandal like not some like small town murder damn like what international drug trade that's why i

like slow burn with like monica lewinsky and stuff because that's like that impacted a nation whereas like these small town murders i'm like yeah do i really care about that plus there was another element to that what sex i i was gonna do a bill clinton voice but i realized right before i tried that i can't you should just go ahead and try i also want to give a shout to every single person out there who subscribed to this podcast on spotify we did that is that is the game change we did numbers on spotify and i do want to be clear we also currently if you go to spotify like right as we're talking which is going to be impossible since you can't you go to spotify like right as we're talking which is going to be impossible since you can't hear us we have a featured episode they feature six episodes a day

on spotify our colton interview is one of those featured episodes they put your boys up there dude they're gassing us up that's because it's a groundbreaking interview no one's covering ground like we did no one baffles colton about ketosis more than Dave Roth. Yeah, I thought he might. That didn't go as planned. I'm sorry. No one's doing Colton interviews without asking him about virginity. Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did.

No one else is doing it. We didn't bring it up. No one's doing that. No. I thought you looked like you had something to add to that, Dave. I did, and then I just. Oh, and all the people that left reviews and rated the potty on iTunes. Y'all are the real MVPs. So many reviews.

If you haven't done it and you're listening, just go do it. Just go do it. Now is the time to do it. It's really important to our visibility. You always have certain things that are just hovering over your head that you know that you need to do, and they're just kind of like the scab. And just get it behind you, and then you never have to do it again. Now is the time.

There's no better time than now. I started reading them yesterday afternoon. Did it behind you, and then you never have to do it again. Yeah. Just now is the time. There's no better time than now. I started reading them yesterday afternoon. Did it bring you to tears? Some of them, they were so good. Some of them were extremely good. They're all... Anyway, I started reading, and I realized I can't get to the end of them because there are so many. Yeah, there's too many.

I was like, God, they really showed out for us. We did get a really good one yesterday about how we're like in our 30s and trying to stay relevant in the meme culture. And it was so good that I actually added it to our description for the podcast so that people that saw it on the charts for the first time would be like, oh, this is the perfect description of these three. Lots of people saying how the circling back just hits different. Lots of people were saying that.

It does hit different. I can't disagree. No. Yeah.

It's in the description of this episode, so you can just click right to it. Give us a shot. That's all we ask for. Do we want to talk about an old friend on this podcast?

It's been a long time since we've talked to him. I wish we could get him in the studio. That would be a lot of fun. Yeah, and he's not doing anything right now, right? I don't think so. Is the government still shut down? What's going on? No one really knows.

It's a partial shutdown. I don't even know what that means, really. Does it mean I can go out in the streets and break the law and no one's going to come down on me for it? No. Okay. I think emergency personnel are still... That's too bad.

I mean, that's more of a local crime. I'm just kidding. We support the police. That's not too bad. Yeah, I'm kidding. No, we love the boys in blue. They keep us safe. I'm just kidding.

Dave, will you explain what Ted Cruz is doing right now? Wow, you know what's really, really funny about this? I legit thought we were about to talk about Duda. Oh, no. I don't have the run sheet open. I've got the Bachelor girls on there. Silly bitch. Yeah, I am.

Just the silliest little bitch. He's a beard guy now. That's all. Is this? Okay, here's the question. This has been happening for the last three weeks, and no one noticed until last week. Is he a beard guy because of the government shutdown?

Like, he's just letting it rip. Yeah, like, is this like a playoff beard? Or maybe he's just doing what I'm doing. Maybe he's following me. If he's doing it for a personal aesthetic change, he is massively botching this. He's pulling a Michael Scott. He looks like, I think, Kyle Bandujo, former PGP writer, host of the Dadgum podcast and just general content guy. He said that it looked like Wolverine had sex with a bowl of oatmeal, I think he said.

Wow. I think that's fair. His beard has the most unnatural coloration to it. He's got a skunk line down his goatee. Here's what I, I'm going to have to say a positive thing about Ted. He, I applaud him for not dying his beard and not using just for men.

He is. Yes, it is an odd gray spot. It's very odd. There's two of them. They don't make any sense. No one's doing beards like this except for Ted and i applaud him for keeping it like that because a lot of people would have you know they would have listened to their publicist or their you know some some aid

i mean like no you gotta you gotta die because you already because that's his thing he has a likability problem that's ted cruz it's policy policy notwithstanding he has not a problem i mean he's he's so unlikable. His personality is borderline insufferable. Well, I reject what you're saying, Will. That being said, and I will clarify, politics aside, I'm not talking politics here. Somehow his former foe, Beto,

has become more insufferable than Ted Cruz. No, I'm all in on Beto. What is Beto has become more insufferable than Ted Cruz. Oh, cause no, I I'm all in on Beto. What is Beto doing? Politics notwithstanding. Cause he's, he's a content King. He's not a content King.

Nobody's going live during a dental exam. He, I'm surprised he didn't do like a, he tried to go via like all he's trying to do is go viral. And that's what, that's what I hate. It's such a bad look. He,

Beto is taking the strategy of uh content alley at grand x in like 2000 well maybe 14 15 where all you're doing is slapping that go viral sign you're just trying to go by the entire time you're just trying to get those those chart beat numbers up there but like what is he doing no one's no one's doing what he's doing right now i don't like the fact that like i mean we've already talked about in on a previous podcast But like, what is he doing? No one's doing what he's doing right now. I don't like the fact that, like, I mean, we've already talked about on a previous podcast in the world. Are y'all following Beto on social media? No.

Well, then how are you coming across Twitter, people, anything he does? Yeah. Okay. Who's still following that guy? His long shot, people that want him to run for president. Dude, he's got a great shot. That's fair. Getting the nomination.

He is such a butthead. Yeah. People are going to be mad about this. When he skateboarded out on the stage. Kyle Bandujo is going to be very personally attacked. I don't care. He loves Beto. I don't dislike the guy, but I hate his publicity stunts. You don't like him or Ted?

No, I don't like either of them. I think they're both really annoying. And I think the race between them made them both more annoying because they started jockeying for the like the good old boy texan vote no well beto shiner bach where i was that did ted cruz just join us no i can't do it ted cruz well i what i have nothing but good things to say about my opponent okay so all right i'm sorry people who are new here are just going to wonder why people just turn into that impression but uh no i think what ted he has a likability problem they're telling him dude try the beard try

anything literally you can't be more unlikable he talked about queso like two years ago and it was the weirdest thing ever is that still your bet like your most uh visible tweet ever yeah and i feel bad about it because i i did the thing where i i took the the person's video and i just tweeted it it still gives them credit but i feel like i should have in parentheses been like via at so-and-so no no i don't know i wasn't that good at content credits them you're. You're not like Darren Revell who just steals photos from people and then is like, I don't know who took it. He gets credit when he's...

He does now. He used to not. Yeah. He used to not like at all. He blocked me and I want to give a special shout out to him for unblocking me. So wait, he unblocked you too? Yep. That's weird.

I asked for the people to berate him until he unblocked me, and he finally did. So Ted Cruz's beard, I'm looking at a profile shot. I'm going to show this to the fellows here in the studio. He suffers from something that our friend in L.A., Sean McVay, coach of the Rams, 32-year-old coach of the Rams. He is an over-manicure guy. He's trimming up. Okay, so I think I'm an expert in this because...

You do it right. One, I grow a very good beard. Two, I'm a husky boy. I have a few extra pounds on me. I think you're in great shape. And so what Ted is doing is a classic mistake of guys that have a little extra chin going on. And he is trimming up way too far to where it becomes evident and it just looks like he has like,

what's it called? Like a gullet? Is that what it's called? Sure. Whatever. I don't really know. Like a chicken. He's got like a chicken thing.

A goblet. Chicken neck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chicken neck looking ass. He's got to let it go further down or just let the natural beard line just go. A general rule for those of you who are,

this isn't me speaking as a beard guy because i really don't consider myself a beard guy yet just as someone as someone i see pictures of you now and i'm like oh what is that like it's gonna be weird dude doing right now well okay well thank you it's someone who observes people like guys who if guys who over manicure are like over trim if you have perfect lines you're doing way way way too much you look like an idiot can you guys just be real with me because you're i got a beard trim like the other day you're fine you think i'm good uh dustin johnson's what i'm talking about dj's a a serial offender let me pull up uh dallas keitel i don't know if he still has that gnarly beard, the pitcher for the formerly of the Astros. I don't know who he is.

Yeah. Yeah. That's bad. From a, from a far like, Oh, that guy's got a great beard. It's big.

It's, it's bushy. It's thick. You get up close and it's like, though it is long and full, it's like has lines to it. It's like, what are you doing?

Sean McVay, Sean McVay, who I mentioned earlier, he's, he's hot. He's biggest name in are you doing? Sean McVay, who I mentioned earlier. He's hot. He's the biggest name in the NFL. Youngest head coach ever, right? Youngest. Got to be one of them.

Good-looking dude. Got the world by the balls. Beard game is just so poor. It's a full beard, but he cuts it off so high up on the neck. Do you think it's LA in him? It's got to be. Do you think it's just gotten to him? He looks like he would be an extra on Entourage.

Like, he would work in Ari's office. Do you think he's just waking up and doing yoga and drinking, like, green drinks and stuff? Yeah, I do. It ain't hard to say. So, the other day, so the news came out that the producer, writer, whatever, of Sopranos came out

and said what actually happened to tony at the end of the series david chase yes he said yes and i hate the move on his part it's such a shitty move uh but what it did do was remind me of how terrible aj's beard was in the finale one of the worst tv beards in history it just had the pencil thin line on his uh chin wait so what happened to tony that's all i care about hashtag spoiler alert it's they've they've had plenty of time i know is it even a spoiler he said that he said that tony died really yes and i hate this move because one some people said that they were that they could have possibly left it open for like a movie had Tony not died. But now that Tony's dead, it's really easy for them to say, oh yeah, he died.

That being said, I think Tony died the entire time. There was never one part of me that said that Tony did not die. Wait, who's the person who said this? I think he said that, no, here's what the headline says. David Chase always planned to end The Sopranos with Tony's death, then changed his mind. That's what the story says. How old is that story? January 14th, 2019.

Oh, really? Bro, you got clickbaited. No, no, no, no. I don't think I did. I think we need to dive deeper into this. Okay. Okay, let's just continue. I think we need to dive deeper into this.

Yeah, we do. Because if it didn't happen in the show, if it wasn't part of what I saw with my eyes when the show ended, then it didn't happen. Even though, like, he may have intended you to perceive it that way, it didn't happen that way.

It's up to you. He died, though. No, he didn't. Yeah, he did. I don't think so. No one's going to do a hit like that when he's eating dinner

with his family. You can't say what happened when it didn't happen. You don't get hit, dude. That's off limits. There are... See, I'm going to botch this because I haven't watched it in four years. you can't say what happened when it didn't happen you don't get hit dude that's off limits there are see i'm gonna botch this because i haven't watched it in four years but there are clues leading up to it that lead me to believe that he was shot in the head unknowingly and just died because uh what's the what's his brother-in-law's name the big boy oh uh sis weirdly cisco's uh yeah

got some big t-shirt big t-shirts matt big t-shirt matt's like relative somehow yeah yeah yeah that guy bobby he has a when they're floating out on a boat together uh when they're out on some at some cabin i forget the situation as i said it's been while. They have a conversation and re-watching that conversation and then applying it to the end of the show. It's clear as day to me that Tony died. Tony was shot.

But it didn't actually happen. It did happen though. That's why it faded to black. We all died with Tony. It's up to the viewer what happens. If it didn't happen in the show then it didn't happen. And I choose to believe he lived.

We're getting away from the lead here. We i'm tony sun had an all-time bad trash facial hair one of the biggest trash beards of 2019 it was like he was watching like major league baseball all the time and just looked at all the closers and was like i want to look like that i think that was intentional though because he was kind of a shit box i will give him credit though he's aged very well what's he doing he still looks young i saw photos from a 20th anniversary party for the sopranos isn't he in stranger thing he looked good he's not in stranger things he looked good um what's her face look good his mother yeah meadow looked she looked like young great uh everyone actually looked very good i was very surprised you'd think that they could just coast on that money and look like shit. Rest in peace, Tony. James Gandolfini, one of the all-time greats.

What else we got? Our friends over at MeUndies. What? They might want a little shout-out. Wow. Yeah, this is big. MeUndies is back. Officially.

Do you ever just sit down on your couch and just be like, man, I'm wearing trash underwear right now? Yeah, I used to think that all the time. I don't do that anymore. Then I upped my game. I got this micromodal fabric that's just covering my whatever. Your lower parts. Everything.

Dude, I've always said there are a few things that a guy has to invest in, apparel or accessory-wise. Once you go from cheap crappy underwear to like me undies a high quality pair it's a whole you'll know why you are supposed to spend a little extra on underwear are people still wearing like cotton boxers underneath their pants sadly some people are still doing that but they don't know they don't know i wear i have a few and and they're not in the rotation but they're in the drawer i don't know why i don't just i wear a pair to bed every night and the thought of putting pants on over those at this point just sounds awful

no the thing is they're not even micromodal fabric now what is it cotton if that's all you're used to you don't know any better and you're like yeah this is fine because this is what i've been doing for a while but if someone gives you a taste of you know that that prime rib like oh shit this is what it's really like out there yeah or that chicken fried steak you know yeah yeah it's like if you've been eating subway all your life and then someone's like dude have you not tried arby's dude like dude do you want to go to uh jersey mike's like what uh if you want 15% off your first order, go to meundies.com slash circling back.

and you posted something to a social network that you've never posted to before it's not seen a weebo forgive me i'm gonna adjust myself because i need to explain what really be comfortable for this segment okay so the next door app we actually on a previous podcast used to talk about next door and since i moved into this new neighborhood about four or five months ago i hopped on next door i want to know what's going on pretty much it's just people looking for lost pets people uh when new year's eve rolled around bitching about fireworks but one thing I noticed people doing, and I thought it was kind of cool.

If there's an insect or an animal that they spot and they don't know what it is, they'll post and say, Hey, what is this? And usually people respond who made this like, Oh, that's it.

And they don't just respond. They go into great detail. Like people are clearly have too much time on their hands. They like go and they get like the, the scientific names and stuff. And they'll tell you if it's poisonous or whatever well if you follow me on twitter at d carter rough on twitter and snap for that matter you'll know that when i first moved in i had a um a bit of a spider issue a um a rather large feller had spun a web right outside of our back door i tweeted about it yeah i think we talked about it on a podcast of old.

We touched on it. Yeah. And to this day, I don't know what it was. All I know is I had to end his life. Actually, her life. She was with child. Many children, actually. Yeah.

How'd you know that? Because when I took care of her, they ran everywhere. Oh, yeah. I remember that. On site. And it was fucking terrifying. Was it on site? No, it wasn't because I didn't know what to do.

Like, when I walked out there, the thing was, I didn't want to, I wanted to know my enemy before I attacked it, and eventually I realized that wasn't going to happen. But here's what happened. Last night, I posted a, the photo that I took of this spider, rather terrifying. I was like, you know what?

I've never posted it next door. I'm just gonna go and i'm gonna throw up a shot so i wrote a a post on there called spider check it's just a photo it's a rather terrifying photo of the spider it's not it's not cool and um expected to get some action i said hey can anybody tell me what this is it's a few months old but i still to this day don't know what kind of spider this was you have a similar recurring bit on social media that's called dog check which is a picture of randy correct and people respond with pictures of their own were you expecting people to be like oh yeah spider check and they go around their house

no no no their spiders like yo i got a spider not at all no i i put because me knowing you that's what that's what no no no i just put spider check i guess i could have put what is this yeah but people put like does anyone i don't know people will say uh spider identification or something so i just said spider check and i said if anybody knows what this is i'd love to know still don't know and um it's now 9 45 a.m central standard time and I have zero acknowledgement from my neighbors on that post. Maybe they're like, oh, this is D-Man. He's just doing a bit. It's not a bit.

I follow that boy on social media. So this is a question I have for you regarding this. Is it weird for you to post on something and get no interaction? It is absolutely weird. It's a huge blow to my ego. I can't walk Randy outside anymore because I feel like people are going to be mocking me. Yeah. They're like, Oh my God, that's that dumbass that no one responded to. I literally had a wide open layup and I did, I, I somehow just, I completely missed the backboard.

I got nothing. Crickets. I feel like the people that are posting next door are the same people that are posting to Facebook. And that's a different type of content gene than what we're used to having. I screenshotted this and sent it to y'all on a group text. And I was just like, dude, I'm shook. Like nothing, not even like one,

whatever. A thanks is thanks. What they call the like, I don't know. No one. I don't log on to next door unless I get a notification on my phone, which is probably once a day. And I just see like what's going on.

Mostly it's people bitching about coyotes in the area or getting towed at like a walgreens like it's just like really stupid stuff i saw someone get shamed for feeding a fox wow which i i get you probably shouldn't feed foxes like if you're just in a neighborhood i don't know you don't want to bring not while you're in the cut you don't want to bring them around. You don't want foxes sliding through the cut. That's dangerous for your little dogs and cats running around. If you had a cat, it would take out a cat. What about a 45-pound dog?

A fox will not approach a 45-pound dog. I feel like Rosie could hold her around. I feel like a fox, like a full-grown fox, has got to be under 20 pounds. Foxes are underrated. Foxes are tight, man. I like them. But yeah, they are predators. What's the most underrated animal

that you could find living in a normal neighborhood in Austin? In a normal neighborhood? Like just living where I live. Y'all live a little bit more towards downtown. But living where I live,

what's an underrated? For me, it's armadillo. Why do you like armadillos, dog? Because being from Michigan, it was something I'd never seen before. And when I think of armadillos dog because it's being from michigan it was something i'd never seen before and like i didn't when i think of armadillos i think of them being in like a a vast landscape that are just running across the road like west texas like in tin cup or something yeah and so when i first saw one in a neighborhood i was like holy shit correct me if i'm wrong they're

completely blind is that correct uh or almostally. I'm legally blind. No, they can't see shit, though. I'm pretty sure. They just, like, smell and sense their way around and run into shit. I think you're right. I think that's accurate. It's impossible to know. I don't know if I would call it not really underrated.

They don't really do cool shit. You don't see foxes too much? Well, it's kind of like, I went to Disney World one time, and a bunch of people were waiting in line to go in somewhere, and they were all, like, freaking out because they saw a squirrel for the first time. What? I was like, who is this? This was at Disney World.

They'd never seen a squirrel? These people had not seen squirrels. And I was like, how have you never seen a squirrel in the flesh before? That is, what? And coming, like, I mean, being, as I said, being from Michigan, like, squirrels are everywhere. I feel like Dave has an answer on the blindness issue while they are not blind they do have very poor eyesight okay yeah almost blind is what i legally blind maybe legally i would say they're probably legally blind um what's your animal people also ask are armadillos bulletproof i don't think they are no no we're getting some ringtail cats out at the ranch

you know what a ringtail cat is no it's a circus animal it's like a bigger it's a cat but it has rings like a bigger wild cat with a with a long ass tail that has rings on it yeah and they eat you know mice and shit small critters but they're pretty cool looking. Do you promote them being out there? Because them eating critters sounds great. I'm anti-critter. Yeah, don't fuck with me. We have a cat out there. My family has a cat. And I think we want to keep the ring-tailed

cat away from the house cat. Because it might get got. What if they just initiate your house cat and all of a sudden your house cat is just like a bad boy? Just jump him into the ring-tailed family? Yeah yeah i don't think it works that way start smoking cigs what's the other cat's name what's your cat's name i will not say i will not say why what is it it's so embarrassing what is it oh i get shamed off the internet you have to you guys you didn't name it did you name it no i didn't did the hom? My stepbrother named the cat when he was a kid.

What's it called? Sugar Tooth. I can't. It's so bad that I would get shamed to death probably. Well, I want to know, dude. You got to do this. Just do it. It's so bad I'm not even telling you guys off air.

Come on. Dude. I'm going to start hitting up your family members. Yeah. No, you won't. I'm going to ask Parks next time I see him. Your family members are about to get DMs being like, hey, what's your cat's name? Seriously, it's so embarrassing that I can't.

Is there any ladies who might know? No, I don't tell anybody. Have I met this cat? Because I've been to the ranch. Okay. You've seen the cat, yeah. Dude. We'll find out.

Stay tuned. She keeps a little pro. She's old. Hey, let's just tease our Patreon episode. We'll announce the cat name Friday. Our $1,000 tier on Patreon. You can find out Dylan's cat's name. Well, you also have to sign a non-disclosure.

You have to keep it to yourself. You can't tell a soul. Oh, God. Well, for me, you know what it is? It's just the hawk. We've got hawks. So both are birds. We live across from a little wooded park.

We have hawks and owls. I feel like the owl is an underrated bird. Dude, an owl might be my favorite bird. They are so tight. They're so tight. They are murderers. Their head basically just turns on a swivel all the way around. 360 degrees.

They're not turning? You don't see a lot of bald eagles down here. No, you don't see any bald eagles down here. Actually, there used to be, if you were driving to Llano, and you might remember this, there's one of those ranch roads into town. You'll see people pulled over because someone, there's a tree, and there was one that had a nest, and people would stop and photograph it and stuff. You could see, yeah.

So they do exist. Very rare, though. They do exist here, but I've never seen one. Yeah. A bald eagle? Yeah. It turns out they do exist here, but it's not something you're likely to see in austin texas they're hard to see it yeah they're hard if i saw one in the flesh i would cry no you wouldn't you so have you never

seen one in the flesh at a zoo but if i saw okay how about in the wild like if i was walking randy and we just looked up. Let's run up. That's a tight bird. On our golf trip to Michigan, you'll see a bald eagle. I'll make sure of it. There's nothing better than when you're playing golf and you just look and you see a hawk gliding six feet above the ground. You know it's about to take something out.

Absolutely. We get hawks out at the ranch. It's majestic as hell. Hawks are cool, man. Eagles, though. That's next level. Yeah, they go hard. What about the condor?

It's a rather large bird. I think it might be one of the best. I don't know if I would even know, like, oh, that's a condor. I've never seen one. Very big. Picture, like, just a big fucking hawk. Don't they hang out on the West Coast, though? Yeah, they're real chill.

Like, longboarding and shit. No, I mean, they live, like, in California. Yeah, yeah. They have, like, those skateboards that you just lean forward on and they and you start going they wear a lot of volcom yeah quicksilver ridiculous they're just drinking smoothies at a rapid clip taking those green shots they're coyotes in this neighborhood that we're in right now we heard them the other night remember oh yeah they're around they'll get you no they won't get you. They'll get your pets, though. You know there was an issue in Frisco, Texas,

of coyotes attacking people. Joggers. Yeah, recently. They captured the thing, but it was going after people, like chewing their legs and stuff. I'm not afraid of a coyote. I'm not either. They're small.

But I am afraid of having to get a rabies shot or something. Yeah, that's not fun. Or if I had Randy. Randy's a big boy. I have a dog named Randy rabies shot or something. Yeah, that's not fun. Or if I had Randy. Randy's a big boy. I have a dog named Randy, if you're new. Yeah, but Randy's soft. He's not a fighter. I mean, no one's tested him yet.

That's the thing. No one's run up? No one's run up. Except for that one dog. Can you imagine how big a bird it would have to be in order to swoop down and take Randy? Fly off with a 70-pound dog? It would have to be like a 747. Yeah. That's a plane. That's a jet. A p have to be like a 747 yeah that's a plane yeah

it's a jet pterodactyl so a jet that just steals my dog can we pivot i would be fucked i would be pissed if a jet took randy it would be a story though like a passenger jet yeah jet took him 7 737 came down and got him damn yeah we said free wi-fi. Probably not. This isn't a steam room. We can't talk about playing Wi-Fi right now. Yeah, the steam's off. I didn't bring my flip-flops today. Can we do something that I've been waiting to do for like two months? I don't know what this is.

Let's talk about what we've been watching lately. Okay. I've been craving having some conversation about this. I've been watching hella TV lately. Sober January, dry January has caused me to do nothing but watch television. Dave's taken off his fleece for this one because he knows that we're going to get into it.

For me, the biggest show that I've gone through over the last couple weeks has been on Netflix, Bodyguard. Okay, let's go. This was recommended to me. I haven't gotten into it yet. I don't know why. It's got the guy from Game of Thrones, right?

Robb Stark, maybe? Yes. Okay. That's another show that I'm thinking about picking up. Game of Thrones. Really? Yeah. You should talk about that.

Yeah. Will, you've recommended two shows to me. Is Bodyguard good? Let's start there. I'm five episodes deep. No spoilers. I can't recommend this to you there. I'm five episodes deep. No spoilers. I can't recommend this to you enough.

It's only six episodes. Holy shit. Which is super tight. The hour long? They're about an hour long. There's many levels to it. They don't try to do too much. It's the perfect show for me. I will watch it.

You think that you know what's going to happen and then you're like oh shit they just really did that you recommended this to me and it reminds me of another show you recommended to me funny enough you recommended that show without actually watching the show I ended up watching it anyway and loving it

it's called Occupied it might still be available on Netflix but it's a geopolitical thriller the person who recommended this to me is actually the same person as early bird cbd really go check them out you got to support them yeah this show's great uh the acting and it's phenomenal he the lead the guy from game of thrones i guess he won a golden globe for best actor in a drama series no shit yep that's what i did richard madden i had i had recommended to dave a couple weeks ago and he was like i've heard

it's meh and then that guy won the award and i was like all right dave's gotta go he's gotta see this it it goes hard dude it's it's cool man it's intense so do you want to do you know what it's about uh i think someone's a bodyguard in the show. That's a great guess. That's all that I know. Yeah. Rob Stark's a bodyguard. He's a bodyguard for an English politician.

Okay. Who is... She doesn't share the same views as him. He's a war veteran, and he's also on the police force. And she's a little bit more of a hawk, pro-war in Iraq, stuff like that. And he kind of has a moral dilemma. And at the same time, there's terrorism in England at this time.

High alert. I'm just going to leave it there. It's so intense. It's so intense. It's awesome. All right, I'm in. Another show it there It's so intense It's so intense It's awesome Alright I'm in Another show I've been watching That I watched

That was intense Narcos Mexico So good My favorite My favorite Narcos Such a good show Not even close Best Narcos

I know there's a lot of Pablo stans out there I get it You want to love The thing about Pablo But this blows it out of the water as far as story and everything. Kiki? Kiki. Are you serious? He murdered that role.

He crushed it. Yeah. But the first scene that Kiki's in, I was like, this dude's bad. In a good way. Yeah, the guy who played I forgot his name. The main weed grower guy. Yeah. What's his name

I don't know I forget his character was great though the Sinalina his character was really really good Rafa Rafa

thank you Rafa Rafa's a great name that was a great character Rafa is scorched earth all of them are they're all tight that show was incredible

El Chapo is in the show but he's not like the El Chapo yet it's kind of like the beginning of El Chapo I love what they did with El Chapo I do too they didn't force it the fact that it's not like the el chapo yet it's kind of like the beginning it's incredible i love what they did with i do too they didn't force it affected it's so understated storyline they don't actually get into how psyched are you but if you're aware of who he is like oh this is how you got to start in the game that that that actor has to just be sitting there like oh everything the

light touches is my kingdom soon you gotta think they're gonna do Narcos... What's the Chapo? I don't know what it'd be called. Cannot confirm this, but I feel like they're doing one more Narcos with this storyline. Agree.

And then it's gonna be more... And I'm not saying that there's no El Chapo in that, but then it's gonna be more focused on El Chapo. Then I think they'll try this with El Chapo. Correct me if I'm wrong.

El Chapo and his cartels, they were moving cocaine, right? They were pushing serious weight, not weed? Cocaina. Cocaina? They were moving it all. Yeah. Okay.

I don't think they discriminate. They're the original brick squad. Be careful. Since I'm a Narcos guy, I've watched all of that. It's more dangerous to move coke. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

Yeah. I also will clarify that if you are watching Narcos, it's kind of similar to The Crown in that you are very... It makes you want to Google the actual things that happened. Oh, dude. And it's hashtag spoiler alert. I want to see what this guy really looked like. You know, and you do it. Hey, you have to be careful.

That's the guy. Be careful. If you don't want spoilers, do not Google anything. Don't Google it. But when this is all over, go down the wormhole. Because there are some twists and turns that are not necessarily in the show that will leave you doing the huh emoji. The Wikipedia pages are lit.

Hey, remember that time we moved weight from California? Dude, chill. No one's talking about that. I like to say move weight. Here's a show. Watch as Narcos wants. Can I offer up another show? I have not watched it yet. I actually fell asleep

because I was super tired when I started it. True Detective. I will not. The first season, it lost me about four episodes in. The first season? It was moving too slow. I couldn't do it. Dave, it lost me about four episodes in. The first season? It was moving too slow. I couldn't do it. All right, sit this one out.

Dave, let's talk about True Detective real quick. Hold on, can you flip his mic off? Yeah. I watched the first two episodes Tuesday night. Are you in on them? Have you watched them? So I started them way too late on Sunday night, and I fell asleep. Right, you just said that.

Sorry. So I have not gone in. I'm planning on it, though. I'm a big fan of... Excellent. Whatever his name is. I don't know his name either, but he's awesome. It's like...

He's going to win an Emmy? You think so? I'm putting my... He is my hot Emmy guy for 2019. That's too early. Never too early. He hasn't shown enough yet. Two episodes in, he's great.

Okay. I've heard the final scene uh of episode two is electric they should win something for makeup and design yes that was the first thing i noticed when he's you know it's three different parts of his life you know when he's 20s probably 40s and then when he's an old man and he they make him legit look like an elderly dude yeah he's good it It's great. He's awesome. I plan on going in on it.

I think we should just tread lightly as the series goes on, talking about it on this podcast, because I think it's going to be somewhat of a phenomenon in terms of television over the next couple months. As John Dudas said, though, to me in a text and then later in a tweet, I just don't see how it's going to be any good without Vince Vaughn. It's true. If you take Vince Vaughn. It's true. If you take Vince Vaughn out of something, it automatically gets worse.

We should do a rewatch of True Detective Season 2. You know what? I'm good. Is it that bad? I'm good. Yes. Okay. Dave finished it.

I did not. I finished it. I quit. It takes a lot for me to quit a TV show. I quit that. I would compare Vince Vaughn's acting into that and in the writing that went behind it he's very similar to al pacino and godfather 3 where you're just like dude what is this character why are you doing what is this oh i have a godfather take i watched the whole

series during the my layoff situation was that your first time watching it i had watched godfather one in pieces before that but this is my first time watching that? I had watched Godfather 1 in pieces before that, but this is my first time watching that one and the other two all the way through. Even the first one, it was just good. It didn't do a whole lot for me. The second one was bad. The third one was almost unwatchable. The second one was bad, widely regarded to be the best one.

The second one was worse than the first one. The third one was bad. The third one was best one the second one was worse than the first one third one's bad one was like straight up like i can't watch this third one's very bad uh one and two are masterpieces of cinema i don't think there's any getting around that like there's no argument against it um so i guess going forward let's just flip you want my takes sure i've only seen the first hour of the first one that's not a take that's just a statement and i was like i'll continue it sometime but i'm good i just kept wanting more story more more to happen oh and just let me watch american gangster in peace spoiler alert marlon brando's character like the original godfather is barely even in the fucking series he's like he's like in the first third of the first movie.

We're just spoiling really old gangster stuff. He's in the first third of the first one. He's not in the first third. Yes, he is, and he's done. Spoiler alert, his death scene doesn't come until rather late in the movie. That's not true. Yes, it is true. But he's barely in the movie.

Dude, the most important part of the movie is the funeral scene. His funeral. And then that's when all the hits happen after that. He's in the movie at least four-fifths of the way i get appalachino takes over the family i get it but if you've never seen i'm attacked right never seen the movie you are under the impression because marlon brando is the godfather that his character is featured throughout the whole thing and that's just not well that's just that's well yeah i think you had some high surprise i think you had some expectations that you know because people say it's like one of the best movies of all time and it's simply untrue people yeah i mean i wanted to

love it wanted to because i love i love wait if you couldn't even make it through true detective season one because it moved too slow i get why you didn't like godfather it's true you're more of a michael bay movie guy you're like armageddon you need explosions you're in the marvel you need fast and furious i think it was the second don't don't poo poo fast i think it was that game was more of a Michael Bay movie guy. You're like Armageddon. You need explosions. You're in the Marvel universe. You need Fast and Furious. I think it was the second... Don't poo-poo Fast and Furious. I poo-pooed it. I think it was the second Godfather that it was so long that it had an intermission. Like it said,

the screen popped up, intermission. No one's doing intermissions anymore. That's a texting break. No one's doing that. I love the intermission. Plus you have a pause button. Why don't we do an intermission? Let's make that a bit here. Okay. Right now? We got more stuff i don't have to pee i'm good can i offer a unsolicited recommendation yes on netflix uh it's season two i just finished it last night it's called friends from college never heard of it not the best show i've ever

seen that being said season two was an upgrade from season one. It's funny. It's got a peel from Key and Peele. Oh, my wife's watching parts of this. It's a very entertaining half hour comedy. It's well done. It's kind of messed up. Not to get too much into it, but it all kind of revolves around infidelity and an infidelity that occurred in season one.

Then things just fall as they may but very good and i don't know anyone else that watches it besides sally and i and i have never been able to discuss with anybody so if anybody out there has been watching it and wants to echo my sentiments feel free to do so we'll go to dinner at some point alissa's watching it okay cool all right to wrap this segment up i've been watching a show actually i just finished it it's the first season i don't know if they're doing a season two or not. It's called You. You guys heard of this one yet?

Yes. Soulja Boy. Have y'all watched it? You! No, this is different. This is actually a show. Another show my wife watches while I stream Mavs games on Reddit. Soulja Boy?

No, You. She's listening to Soulja Boy? You said you haven't seen it, Will? No, it seems a little intense, so I'm kind of waiting. It's intense. I would call it a good show. It's not great show but it's good it's interesting and the character the main guy is just so fucked up and twisted pen badgley and you're like dude really is teller in this as well gossip girl himself oh yeah that's yeah that's what i heard he's a hot dude is is he

yeah he's not yeah Yeah, he is. Dude, I don't think he's good looking. He's hot. I'm the first to admit when a guy's handsome. He's just not that good looking. He's a hot dude. Remind me. He's tiny.

Let me circle back on that take, your hot guy take, in a minute. Okay. Finish talking about you. Pretty good. I'd recommend it. It's definitely entertaining. Yoo! All right.

Yeah. It has some wild twists and turns in it, and it's pretty cool. It's on my radar. It's in my Yeah. It has some wild twists and turns in it. It's pretty cool. It's on my radar. It's in my queue. It's in my queue.

You've got nothing else. Go for it. So speaking of hot guys, I got a question. Is this dude hot? Dude who played

Freddie Mercury, Mr. Robot. Is it Rami Malek? Yeah. That bug-eyed dude? Yeah. He's hot if you like dudes that look like

insects. I'm not going to put anybody's or their wife on blast on this podcast. That's not what I'm here to do. He's hot in the insect community. But... No, he's not hot. That guy's not hot.

But a friend's wife recently said how hot he was, and I was very... I was shocked. No. I'm not saying I'm Denzel over here. I'm not saying that at all. Don't get it twisted. You're pretty hot, Dave.

What's his name, Malik? I look great in that photo you posted yesterday. Thank you for posting that. But Rami Malek, I just don't see him being a heartthrob. That's because he's not. Okay. He's weird looking. He's in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Yeah, he plays Freddie Mercury. By the way, count me as one of those people who, when they were younger, they thought it in Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah, he plays Freddie Mercury. By the way, count me as one of those people who, when they were younger, they thought it was Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah. I was one of those guys. What does the word Rhapsody even mean? I really don't know. I think it's just like a dope-ass freestyle.

Really? I don't think that's it. I think it might be like a play. You know, some people call that the best song ever written. That's, see, I'm not one of those people that do bohemian rhapsody for their uh their karaoke choice are the biggest tryhards in the world rhapsody is an effusively effusively enthusiastic or ecstatic expression of feeling that's a troublesome definition in ancient greece it was an epic poem or part of it of a suitable length

dylan you know something about that for uh yeah okay that's good that's what it is i am not i have not seen bohemian rhapsody i've heard nothing but good things he won i think he won the golden globe for that as well yeah i was a little surprised by that i just honestly i'm not a queen guy i just the band i've never liked the band so sitting through an entire movie i'm also not a musical guy if there's if there's performances in movies i don't love them which is why i haven't seen a star is born yet oh dude don't spoil it because it's only been made four times damn i'm throwing shade at that dude he got mad at me are you steaming no i'm not steaming okay it's all

good any other recommendations well the first like major scene in a star is born i know it's a they're performing and he brings around stage it's one of the best scenes ever no offense i just don't care it's it's so good i just don't care like i'll catch it when it's on hbo that's fine uh without any explanation i will offer up uh another one last series before we we pivot uh it's on Netflix. It's about soccer. It's a documentary series. Sunderland Till I Die.

He's a former co-worker of of ours can I say how much I love the name of this podcast it's it's it's the perfect name it's so good it's called internet party internet party it's uh on iTunes it's on Spotify it's on SoundCloud it's on it's everywhere uh John and his buddy uh Brad Bradley I don't know what to call him no one really met him once uh I don't know what to call him I met him too right in Chicago I don't want to I wish I would No one really knows. I've met him once. I don't know what to call him. I met him too, right? In Chicago? I don't want to. I wish I would have known then that he was a content guy. Yeah.

I would have taught content. Maybe he wasn't a content guy then, but he is now. You hang out with Duda long enough, you'll become content. True. It's called Internet Party. John has sent me a clip from it. I haven't listened to it, so who knows? It may be scorched earth.

It may not be. But we're going to play that right now. Enjoy. earth it may not be but uh we're gonna play that right now enjoy let me let me uh let me get this into the mic here all right that came through nice on the levels do you want to do a little ASMR? I don't see why not. Really, switch it up a little bit here. We're watching UCF versus LSU right now. LSU's up 34-24. This is one of the best bowl games I've actually watched so far, even though I really despise the UCF claim to the national championship throne.

It really, really bothers me. I've got an itch on the back of my neck that I really need to scratch. So I'm going to go ahead and do that right now. Here we go. How'd that go? Delicious. All right. That's the most I can do.

Jesus. All right. We should dedicate like five minutes for him. Five minutes for him. It's so good to hear John's voice again. Always. I love that guy. I miss him.

I love him. He once called himself the Niles to my Frazier, and it was the biggest compliment to both of us. It just made me so happy. That's surprising that you took that as a compliment because I could always see you wanting to be as wanting to be a niles guy you know but when it comes to john he's younger he's he's thinner it makes all the sense in the world john is he's a thin boy yeah he's definitely the niles he gets fits off too niles is a fit god does he i forgot what what's said in the clip does he plug like where to find them on social? I don't know.

Their Twitter's weird. It's at Internet Party, but the only vowel in it is the I and the Y at the end. But Ys are only sometimes vowels, as you know. I was never okay with that. You already weren't. Dude, be one or the other. What is it?

Is it a vowel? Come on. I'm not going to do Seinfeld right now. Is Y the wishiest, washiest letter in the alphabet? No, I think X. X gives it to you, though. Sometimes X sounds like a Z. Yeah.

Xylophone? What's up with that? Xerxes. Xerxes? Sure. Xylophone worked just fine. Noted Persian. Xerophone? What's up with that? Xerxes. Xerxes? Sure. Xylophone worked just fine. Noted Persian. Xerxes?

Wasn't that the... I watched 300 one time. That movie sucked. Was that Xerxes? Yeah. It was a terrible movie. We get it. You have abs.

Hey, speaking of terrible cinema with abs... Did y'all ever try the 300 workout? Did you guys watch The Bachelor last night? Oh, God. On Monday? I did, yeah. I did watch the bachelor so we're not going to make an entire episode out of the bachelor but i think we would be remiss if

we didn't touch a little bit on it well yeah we're pretty much best friends with the creator of the show and colton exactly so right now what we're going to do is we're going to circle back on the bachelor uh we're not going to do it in the same way we used to we're not going to take a rundown and go through the entire thing. This ain't your grandma's bachelor segment. Can we just pick out high points and talk about them? Can I throw one out right now? Go ahead.

Hey, how about low points too? Yeah, sure. Well, this is a low point. There's a lot of them. Highlights of the show. Low lights, highlights, whatever. Okay. His one-on-one date with Hannah.

Holy shit. Is she Miss Alabama? Miss Alabama. We haven't seen a date go this badly. I'm not kidding when I say I had to cover my eyes during the dinner scene. Or no, when they were sitting there drinking champagne and he was like asking to make a toast. I couldn't look at the screen. I was so uncomfortable.

I liberally. I went full Ted Kennedy when I mashed the 15-second forward button on my remote. Because I couldn't watch it. It was the worst date i've seen since lauren s with ari she has nothing yeah no she stinks i have i feel bad for i said this in a text last night to you guys i have nothing all caps nice to say about hannah bama hannah nothing is the worst when she said roll tide because she had nothing else to say yeah well that's a that's i feel like Well, that's a thing they do.

For people in Alabama, that's just like saying, um. I don't care. It's not for me. When they were in the hot tub, we're giving away spoilers here, folks. When they were in the hot tub and she reached, she was like trying to get something off of his eye. And it was clearly because she didn't have anything to say, so she was trying to make something to talk about up. Even that, which is a flirtatious. But it went on for too long and they they did her wrong they turned off the music and it was you could just you could hear them breathing and you could

i felt so bad for colton she had nothing to say it was insane zero personality he tried he tried smile that goes from ear to ear that sounds sometimes that sounds like a good thing it was too much she just painted that she's a pageant she It was too much. She just painted that smile on me. She's a pageant person. It was bad. But you think the thing that boggles my mind is that if you're a pageant person, it seems like you'd be able to come up with stuff on the spot to talk about because you literally have to do that in order to win pageants. Like such as?

Like such as the Iraq. And she has that low-key beef brewing with Miss North Carolina or something. She ain't going to win that. Nah. Well, she ain't going to win that. Nah. Nah. She ain't going to win that beef. She has nothing to offer. Can we talk about someone who has everything to offer?

Is this the Aussie? My girl Demi. Oh. Wow. Can we talk about Brie? Is her name after this? Yes. Demi is turning out to be the person that they're definitely going to portray as the pot stirrer.

She's the Corinne. I'm comparing her to Corinne. She's not, though. She's better. Dude, she's a silent killer. I'm in a group text with another couple. It's Sally and I and another couple. And as the guy said in the group text, he just said that she just kills people with kindness straight to their face.

She's just putting people down. Who's the girl that cried because of Demi? I forget. Yeah, she was not ready for the game. She's done. She's one of those characters that I'm not going to bother remembering her face or her name because she is done. She walked into the buzzsaw that was Demi. Demi had a small condo

and then bought a ranch inside of her dome. She owns every acre inside that dome. And that's why, guys, I just gotta say it. That's why Demi

is my ooshy wiling wiling player of the week. Wow. What the fuck? Dude, the second you think that,

you've never given that a word out before. When Demi, when you think she's gonna zig she just zags and she's like oh she should blow up on this person right now and call him an idiot and then she just smiles and then just like kills her she made that girl cry for basically doing nothing she's also the biggest ageist i've ever heard on the show yeah she loves taking shots at people that are 31 yeah yeah what do you say about me yeah

chill she's like a good running back that catches passes out of the backfield, and it's just impossible to defend. Yeah, it's crazy. She's the job at best of the Bachelor. Everyone's covered downfield, and she just slips out of the backfield. I'll help Will out here. You know nothing you can do about it? She's the Theo Riddick of the Bachelor.

She's great. And correct me if I'm wrong, is she not from a noted obscure dallas suburb red oak texas where is red oak it's about 20 miles south of dallas she went to texas state it's did she really yeah we need to get her on the pod yeah it's the classic um i'm gonna because she kind of played up the country thing i feel like in the first episode it's the classic suburb that was kind of country 20 years ago

but it's not anymore like they've got like all the nice taco they've got a taco bueno now and all that good stuff right Dylan knows what I'm talking about I don't know anything about taco bueno

taco bueno's and it's not really there's still some people that probably have property and it's a little bit country but it's like eh you still

you know, you're a birb. Okay. I'm just saying. But she is my player of the week. She has broken the other girl's spirit. Yeah. She's done basically nothing to her.

No, like, so when she went... She wasn't singling her out at all. When she went to go confront that girl and talk about stuff, rather than be like, well, you know, I want my time too, blah, blah, blah. She could have just been like

a total bitch about it. And instead she just smiled. She's like, well, you know, I want my time too, blah, blah, blah. She could have just been like a total bitch about it. And instead she just smiled. She's like, I think you're wonderful. Yeah. You're such a good storyteller. I want you to tell your story. I was just like, oh, this is... That was her buying more land in her brain.

That is a body. This is a whole new level of savage that she's... If Chris Harrison would have walked out with like a gurney and like a body bag, it wouldn't have shocked me. Yeah. It's unbelievable. Let's talk about Brie. Okay.

She hasn't gotten much FaceTime, which is disappointing. I don't know how much personality she has at this point. Why is that disappointing? Because I want more of her on my TV screen. Correct me if I'm wrong. Do you want to know why? Is she the Australian? Fake Australian?

Yes. Yes. Oh. I've followed one person from this season, aside from Colton, and it's Brie. She's a model, by the way. Yeah, that's a good career choice considering what her face looks like.

She's JoJo tier. And that is the highest praise I can give you. Aesthetically speaking, she's JoJo's tier. She is so fine that I can't even do, I don't even know what to do. The way that I described her

I fell in love with her. It's just that she is something else. I love her. I don't get it, that she is something else. I love her. I don't get it. But she is something else. Can I say that she has a great name? Brie Barnes. Brie Barnes.

That's a hot girl name. It's a hot girl name. Brianna, I think, is her full first name. Brie. Brie Barnes. I just found her modeling agency. Yeah. They're all tasteful.

She caught that follow from your boy. Waiting for the follow back. We'll see what happens. Have you DM'd yet? No. No. I'll let y'all for the follow back. We'll see what happens. Have you DM'd yet? No. No. I'll let y'all know how it goes. I'll be honest.

She's definitely. She's scorching. Whoa. What? What are you saying? What? I'm just checking her out. She's 5'8", too.

It's a good height, man. It's a strong height. Shoe size, 7 1⁄2". Not sure why that's listed here, but it is. That's good to know when you buy her a golden slipper. A golden what? I don't know. I don't have anything else.

I have nothing else from this season right now. That's it? Yeah. Air horn girl. That girl stinks. Yeah, she's got to go. Dude, don't introduce air horns into my season. She thinks she has this little niche humorous bit. It like niche like humorous bit like carved out for her she's

just not funny like it's just it's it's she looks uncomfortable it's like her delivery sucks having said that she hasn't bought into the bit having said that she made homegirl look even dumber though when she got the she's beaten that that was a bad i had to fast forward through that because i was like oh that is not the move you look even dumber than air horn girl now. Yeah, is that the girl that threw the mic down? Is that the girl that threw the mic down? I want to say her name's Tracy. Problem is, when you do an air horn.

She puts out Tracy vibes for sure. When you do any kind of noisemaker in that situation, you are not only annoying the girl you're trying to get to leave, but Colton's right there. Yeah, Colton's like, this is not it. He's going to associate you with whatever you're doing. Just being a dumbass. Yeah, just being silly.

You're being a dumbass. That's why that girl that you were just referring to is my tap the brakes player of the week. Just tap the brakes. Do less. Just stop. Yeah, she's got to tap. She might need to mash the brake, honestly. Who else?

Who else is standing out? Nobody. This crop of girls is weak. We need more Demi. We need more Bree. I feel like it's top heavy. Yeah, there's a definite... It's SEC right now.

Their bench is not deep. I want Cassie to get involved more. She was my front runner from the jump. I picked her pretty early on. She's not really doing much at this point. I picked her pretty early on. She's not really doing much at this point. There's a lot of people. So any conversations I've had with people, people talk about Cassie.

I'm not seeing it. I don't get it. She doesn't do anything for me personality wise. She doesn't do anything for me. Like she doesn't stand out in front of the other girls being far and away better looking. I don't get it. I really wanted Colton to not give Hannah that rose because she's just... Hannah G? She has nothing going for her.

You think she's got a bag of nothing? I wanted her... I wanted him to throw her overboard of that ship that they were having dinner on. Hannah G? Hopefully she can swim. It's not going to kill her.

Are you talking about Hannah G? I don't know the last name. I believe he is. Everybody's talking about her. I'm talking about Miss Alabama. No, no, no. Yes, I am. What?

I'm talking about Miss Alabama. No, no, no. Okay, I was talking about... You're talking about... Oh, no. We didn't box names already, did we? Hannah B. Yes, I am. What? I'm talking about Miss Alabama. No, no, no. Okay, I was talking about... You're talking about... Oh, no, we didn't box names already, did we? Hannah B. Yes, Bama Hannah.

Hannah G is the blonde. Hannah G is the round-eyed girl who Colton really, really likes and who I think is... This is hers for the take. Oh, and the other one, the one who hasn't been kissed yet, what's her name? Is that the one... Heather. Heather. She's really fine, too.

And I think when they had the, oh, I've never been kissed yet what's her name is that the one heather heather she's really fine too and i think i think when they had the oh i've never been kissed conversation i think she climbed up his list yeah but that's such a red flag for me okay well you're not you're not a 26 year old virgin no no but like just like there's something up with that girl and i don't know what it is oh her hair is too long too it freaks me out she needs to cut it she's really she's really cute and y'all are watching way way more than i was she's got hella dimples hannah g is the one uh she got the first impression rose yeah it's it's hers for the taking if she doesn't win it who is the the cuban girl ah or the south florida i don't know if she cuban or she's got i believe she i believe she is cuban i kind of i i can i feel like i'm rooting for her because she seems very genuine i don't know how far she's gonna go i don't think she'll go that far um i also have no clue what her name is and

i'm on the website right now trying to find her uh all this being said chris harrison was tight nicole is her name nicole she's from miami florida she's a social media coordinator she coordinates social media if she's looking for an internship actually yeah like holler let's reach out i don't know i've never that's all i have yeah i don't have anything else either. It's still early. How do you think Colton's doing? Good. I think he's good.

Did you notice... Okay, they have him doing that little video blog, the vlog, and he did it from the bed with his shirt off. All I can look at is his shoulder that he... That he showed us? Had busted, yeah. That he got Cleo-macked? I don't know why they're not playing that up more right I guess because most people I'm just gonna make an assumption did he watch The Bachelor

don't know about Khalil Mack did he break that news on circling back yeah I feel like no one's credited us or given us any kind of uh accolades for that that's all right that's a that's a story the best players in the league ended your career? When I was telling that story to Chad, Chad was with Bryce Butler, Miami Dolphins wide receiver, not to name drop. A.K.A. our best friend? Yeah. Bryce just goes, dude, have you seen Khalil Mack?

Dude's huge. I was like, yeah, yeah. I watched the football as well. Football's a sport that I watch. It is interesting because Bryce is not, Bryce is, he's thin. You know what's funny? When we were at the Callaway event, someone came up to Bryce, our boy, and said, hey, can I get a picture with you real quick?

He goes, yeah, man, sure. This guy puts his arm around Bryce or basically on his back. And when they took the picture, he goes, man, it's weird, like, touching, like, your back. it's like you're just huge. You're ripped. That's what the guy said to him. He said that to Bryce? Yeah, and he goes, man, I play offense.

He goes, you should do that with a defensive guy. He goes, I don't need to be big. Those guys do. He's a receiver. He probably weighs 210, something like that. He's a big dude. He's in really good shape, obviously, but he's pretty thin compared to Colton, for example.

Also, got to give Bryce props. I don't know if we said this on the pod, but he is one of the rare people that can take any hat, any hat that's laid out on a table, and say, I'm just going to put this atop my head, and it's going to look tight. And I am the opposite person. There's like 1% of hats that I can put on my head and say,

yeah, this works. Not him. He can do it and it looks good. He looks cool in it. He literally did it with every hat Callaway had laid out at the event, the Epic Launch event, Epic Flash Launch event. He's lucky for this.

And then you, yeah. He's a stud, man. That was fun. It feels good to talk Bachelor again. Let's pivot a little bit. We got something more somber to talk about right now. Dave, you wanted to confront... Dave wants to eulogize.

Yeah, you want to eulogize real quick. Sure, who died? Nobody died. No human. But if you're listening to this podcast, you are probably familiar with uh post grab problems blog pgp.com yeah that's the url http slash colon slash slash backslash backslash yeah well um they are no longer doing editorial and if you're new here that's how i got my start

in media that's how kind of how that's how will that's how i got my start in media that's how kind of how that's how will that's how i got my start yeah i'll explain that in a minute but and dylan dylan was always around and dylan blogged on there quite a bit even though for some reason i love that ringing endorsement dylan was always around no no i didn't know how to explain because like dylan didn't get a start on pgp but he eventually transitioned and because i got old you you did i mean once you hit 30 okay i did you right uh but yeah so they're not doing editorial anymore and the reason that's important to us you know besides all the reasons that i just explained so i started pgp as a twitter feed back in like 2010 2011 or something i was in school trying to do the law thing like 2010, 2011 or something.

I was in school trying to do the law thing and kind of as a joke and with the help of Grand X, we blew it up and eventually started a website. And first person we brought on was Brian McGannon. I think he was writing under Champs Tour then. And we brought him on to pretty much run the website. And all these years later we were still doing content and here we are and there's a lot of good writers out there not not writing anymore although I think they've got something planned and I just want to say that was a really fun time

of my life it was stressful I didn't always appreciate it, but looking back and hearing from a lot of people out there who read it every day, it was a really cool thing. And I'm very happy we could create the community that we did on PGP. I met so many people, including Will. Will came on when I first started. I brought Will on. I went on? And Dylan, I knew Dylan before, but I had never worked with Dylan.

And yeah, man, it brought a lot of good things to my life. And here we are. And yeah, it sucks. Well, it changed my life. It brought me down to Austin. It introduced me to you guys. We started this podcast based on it uh yeah we did i mean it i i can't i don't think i can stress the amount that that i mean i i say

this in the the happiest way possible that stupid website like the stupid shit that we got to put on that website on a daily basis like it it changed everything it It changed my life for the better. And I can't, I can't fathom what I'd be doing without it. And now that we've moved on and it's, it's behind us, I will always look fondly. I think, I think I've said numerous times since the editorial stopped, that it was probably the best four years of my life. It was really fun. There were days when I was just like, eh, but like the, But looking back on those days when I would complain about something, I was like, dude, come on. Don't be an idiot.

This is the best. I would agree. I was with Grand X for over seven. And yeah, I had nothing bad to say about anything going on over there, really. Great times. Met some good people. uh and yeah i had nothing bad to say about anything going on over there really uh great times met some good people got to write some fun stuff make some fun content you wrote about crapping your pants on pgp my most notable pgp column is uh yes it's about shitting myself on the side of i-10 from austin to houston uh yeah it's been fun in the the community the people that's part about it 100 that's part about

it uh i'm gonna give some shouts and y'all chime in interrupt but first of all i mentioned before brian uh he's he did such a good job assembling a team uh right out of the gates i feel like he doesn't get a lot of credit for that um and you know when when shit changed up it was unfortunate always missed the guy and i was glad he got to come back into the fold uh toward the end there because it's great having him around power moves is 21 power moves is still probably one of the more i mean it's it's top three iconic pieces gill humpelstead oh gill it's one of the most underrated series arguably gill yeah he only put out a couple uh but like in the last couple years but it was spot on the perfect pgp voice

and a lot of the ogs uh two not broke girls big shouts to uh to miss crowley she was uh she was one of the original writers on there and man had had like the longest running series on there i think to this day what five people yeah it's one of them for sure one of them for sure um man and yeah i'll give shots uh you know dan who occasionally wrote on there harrison all those guys veronica went viral one of the biggest pieces on there uh what was that forever 21 piece i think it was called you're too old to be wearing forever veronica went viral one of the biggest pieces on there uh what was that forever 21 piece i think it was called you're too old to be wearing forever 21 ross went viral ross went viral stop crossfit dude shout out to rob rob fox too when when all that stuff went down and

and uh you know brian was no longer with the company like rob stepped up and he he wrote quite a bit on pgp um but yeah man it's crazy to think. Hell, Mike Burns. We had Dad Boner writing on there. People were like, who's Mike Burns? It's Dad Boner. I want to give a shout out to Kyle Bandujo. Oh, yeah. He was a, from the day I started,

I think it was very similar to the time that he started writing on the site. And I don't know. He was a very interesting person to write alongside with. And he's got his own ventures right now in the media biz. Absolutely. He and Pete Hart.

Pete didn't write as much as I wanted him to. I'll just add him right. He said it. He said it himself. He knows it, but still like one of the most intelligent writers we've ever had. And just, just a sense of humor,

unlike anything we've ever put out on PGP. What was your favorite thing you ever wrote on the site? Maybe my retirement from raging? No. Maybe it was covering Rory. That Rory thing at the Ryder Cup 2016, I think. It went viral on front page Reddit. It feels good to go viral.

I'll say that. I did it twice. You broke the website. i did it twice you broke the website i did it twice and it just it it's a feeling that's uh it's it's like the most like it's like superficial validation like okay i did something good but like you just get to see numbers go up yeah neither of those things neither of the things that i wrote two things that went viral neither of them were uh my favorite things that i wrote for the site i always enjoyed the scary stuff you did my favorite my favorite thing i ever did was uh the things girls do after

graduation playing brunch just that one installment iconic it was my favorite one ever but other than that dylan was yours your poop pants it was burb dad that one was a lot of fun uh oh yeah Thank you I was gonna say Mailbag But yeah probably White Dad from the Burbs White Dad from the Suburbs Breaks down

You know Something in hip hop culture Like a rap beef for example You did Drake and Meek I think Yeah That was a funny one I think I wrote like four

Or five installments of that Those are so much fun to write They always I'm gonna go with that They always did well Yeah I don't know i don't have much else to say about it i i will always cherish the uh four years that i worked for the site for i mean i think it was like six months i was a remote writer and then i came on full-time in may of 2015 and it was it was fun every single day yeah i'm gonna leave we're gonna leave people out but like i mean

dude think about Madoff, the following that he created for himself. He was, he was a much more like, like serious and somber tone that we had on the site that admittedly, I wasn't sure if it was going to always work, but like he had a legion

that loved everything he did. Dude, Noam, Nick Arcadia. He was the most underrated writer on the site. His following is way too small. It doesn't make sense. I've always said he's the, he was the best Twitter follow. Like his Twitter was the most underrated uh writer on the site uh his following is way too small it doesn't make sense i've always said he's the he was the best twitter follow like his twitter was the most

underrated um and we already talked about duda duda who people ask like how is duda is he like he is on the website or when he's on the podcast he's absolutely the same guy he's like it's not it's not a bit yeah it's not and if it is he's living the bit which i think that's kind of what we all do but yeah i don't know i think people might think that you know dudo had a short stint in terms of his time in austin and like as far as i'm concerned like yeah i wish it would have been longer it wasn't a decision we got to make but he uh i don't think there's any ill will between he and us. I talk to him every single day, but I talk to him a lot of days.

He knows we didn't have anything to do. I'm probably going to FaceTime him after this. I love that kid. Taylor Stovall. She came out of her own. Another content beast. Into her own, sorry. What'd you say?

I said she came out of her own. That's weird. That doesn't make sense. No one's saying that. We've all done it. She just unraveled. Yeah yeah uh really cool we're leaving people out but everybody even people who bailed on the site like man you still put in good work we appreciate it and uh it's cool reading uh reading people's thoughts on it on the on the subreddit and on twitter and

stuff like yeah glad it was a big part of y'all's lives. And shout out to everybody who stuck with it through like their 20s, like into their 30s. Like a lot of people. Like us? Well, like us. We were getting paid to do that. But people, you know, kept reading it

because they liked the content creators, man. That's huge. Do we want to do a little chaser? Final chaser to this somber moment and talk about dog TV real quick before we get out of here? You like how I snuck that on there? What is dog TV, Dave? So I've never had a pup that acknowledges the television until I got Randy.

Yeah. And everybody thinks it's so cool and quirky, like, oh, my dog watches TV. I don't want to overdo it. But Randy legit sits down next to me on the couch and he'll he'll just look at the tv and who knows what he's seeing nobody knows there's no way of knowing but he's at least looking at it uh and yesterday i was like i'm gonna pop on my smart tv not to brag put on the youtube major flex must be nice looked up shows for dogs on youtube and immediately like a thousand things like dog tv comes up and it's essentially soothing music with images of like it just looks like they put a camera down in a park and it's like ducks

feeding in a pond or squirrels running around interesting and. And I was like, I'm just going to see what Randy does. And dude's fucking into it. If you go to my Snapchat, he doesn't bark. He perks up. He sits. And sometimes when a bird or something comes in out of nowhere, he'll kind of back up. And then he'll just watch. He watched that for a good 20 minutes yesterday without moving.

Is he matching that remote? He's not matching the remote. Okay. It's voice activated, so he's doing it with his voice. Rosie's favorite thing to watch is Secret Life of Pets. It's not a Pixar movie, but it looks like one. But she just enjoys seeing the dogs run around. I think the noises.
