All right, we're back circling back podcast Monday, January 20th. My name is Will DeFries to my left. Crime dog, Dave Ruff. You guys can't see what's going on behind producer Randy's desk right now, but it is the most unstable situation I've ever seen. Thank you for having me on this very, very, uh, interesting Monday and, uh, happy Martin Luther King day to everyone. Interesting Monday and happy Martin Luther King Day to everyone. Thank you Will.

Shasta Martin Luther King Junior. Your thoughts. Great. A great man. You know, deserves to be celebrated as such. Okay. Uh yeah, a lot. Just so much going on today, man. Got the inauguration.K Day. As you mentioned, we got Danny Rex. We got Jack Hammer behind the behind the producer over here. Pending snowmageddon.

We got snow moving on in just that happened a lot. Just a lot. It's already setting up to be a weird ass week, but I kind of like it. Yeah, it is. I kind of like it. Yeah. Schools canceled for tomorrow. Made the call yesterday. OK, seems a little bit premature and unnecessary, it. Yeah. Schools cancel for tomorrow. Made the call yesterday. OK, seems a little bit premature and unnecessary, but it's whatever. You know how these Southerners are, though, will.

Parks is thriving. I'll be honest. I don't get I don't get why everyone's annoyed with it being called two days ahead of time. Like, I think it makes it easier on the like working people who need to like make plans for their kids. That part I agree with the point, but it's like, does it need to

be canceled is what is my question. It's just, it's just like for every meteorologist is like, look, this is going to, we don't, we don't know. I guess it's better to err on the side of caution, but 48 hours out for a dusting likely, but hopefully, hey, hopefully it turns into five inches of snow I'm not saying you gotta be announcement. Yeah. And then the old transistor. Yeah, but y'all didn't have Avery Tomasco back then just spitting straight facts about the weather.

God, that sounded so old. At least they turned the TV on and checked the ticker. Yeah, it was on the TV too. We did have TV when I was a kid. Oh, we were, I was, we were straight radio. Radio was, yeah, that was a big player. Straight up radio, yeah. It was never, I never looked at the TV for the info.

Yeah. But now you get emails and texts. Well, you were Anderson high, right? Yeah, so you knew right away that must have been great Did they tell you first since you were mr. Trojan? I Wasn't mr. Trojan. Did you get to call the snow day since you were mr. Trojan? I didn't win the competition Paul Mosley won it Bail or former Baylor great. Okay. So you had it good. You knew right off the rip if you were getting school cancellations

cause you were just right at the top of the alphabetic pile. Duncanville is not too bad either. Is that how it works? Yeah. Oh, at least in our area. Duncanville usually followed DIST, Dallas ISD. So you'd see the Dallas ISD and you're like, oh fuck yeah, here it comes.

And then when you didn't see Duncanville was devastating. Yeah, that was the issue. And then you just kept watching, wait if there's a Erath County, whatever, Erath ISD, and you wait for it to roll around again. You see Dallas ISD, then you see the next day and you're like, oh, and it's not it's Decatur. And then you see Duncanville and then things change.

You go back to bed. Great times. I want it to snow. and then you see Duncanville and then things change you go back to bed great times I want it to snow me too man has fritz fritz has seen snow oh yeah he's michigan yeah yeah he's he's a big fan he's actually pretty good at throwing snowballs at this point he's got a good motion he throws he throws a snowball better than the dude in uh where was it? DC. You know we work with the guy who is like an expert at throwing snowballs. I don't know if you know this. Pinpoint. Pinpoint accuracy. He got banned from all snowball fights because he's the Jaden Daniels of snowball fights. He's just taking people out. He doesn't miss. Just blinding people and bloodying up their noses and shit. Yeah putting some mud in there just for weird sadistic purposes.

Going a battery in there cause he's a Philly fan. Sorry Dan. If someone puts a rock in a snowball, that's immediate on site. Yeah, you don't do that. You don't do that. There's a G code. Oh yeah, you can't do that.

There was a paintball place called Mansfield, Mansfield Paintball and that's like allegedly when you're like 10 and just get into paintball it's like that's where all the old army vets go play and like they're like allegedly people freeze their paintballs and go out there. I don't think there's any truth to that but the rumor was people would freeze paintball. That was always a rumor with the paintball crew. Which is like fucking manslaughter. Like what are you doing? You don't freeze a paintball. Could do some serious damage. you're going to be able to which is like **** manslaughter. What are you doing? You'll freeze a paintball. I could do

some serious damage. That's messed up, dog. How we feeling? Fun show. How we feeling? Yeah, let's call it. Alright, we'll see you guys next week. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. Uh today's the weirdest day of all time. Woke up too early. Lost track of time coming into the office. I thought we were gonna get, I

thought we were gonna be able to watch this inauguration this afternoon after we got done recording and stuff and it's just all going down right in the middle. I really wanted to go straight up live on YouTube today and just mob for the people who are sitting at home just bored. You didn't want to compete with the inauguration? Well, yeah, it doesn't seem. Yeah.

It's kind of like, wasn't there a Dylan's track house that went up against like the masters or something? And we were like, yeah, people are just more likely to watch the major than like a dude playing video games. It wasn't a highly attended track house. That was unfortunate. If you are a fan of Dylan's Track House, just know that I

five putted to lose to Dave last week on Dylan's Track House, which didn't feel good. It's tough, man. I didn't even know it was possible to five putt in that game because they make it so hard to put the ball past the hole. It's hard to do.

You're right about that. It was ridiculous. That's a tough finishing hole. I could tell the the aggro. What? It's a tough finishing hole. Hey, what? Randy, it's great to be here. Ray, if you can't handle it, we can switch out with this Danny Riggs guy. No, no, he's my intern today. If you're if you're watching at home, I got intern Dan over here.

Get him in frame real quick. Yeah, it's like I'm not here. All right. I don't want to be disruptive. We started to observe. We started the show and Dan was just in the squat position behind Randy. Like no chair, just like squat. It's hard to act like you're not here when there's just this large figure just looming over Randy's shoulder. Again, not here.

Okay. Not here. The flow on Dan right now. He's not here, Dylan. He's not here. Oh, sorry. He's not here. Whoever that guy is.

Mm-hmm. Did you talk about a weekends or what? Shut up. Dude, shut up. Just calm down. Shut up. I don't know where that guy is. Do you talk about a weekends or what? Shut up. Just calm down. Shut up. You're all right, Will. You got a heady?

No, I've been getting mad headaches lately though. I'm usually a non headache person unless I'm hung over and I've just been getting headaches like every other day. Cedar and mold have been sky high. I think it's the heating, man. I'm blaming the heating. What do you mean? Just the heat, the hot air.

Makes me all congested. Doesn't make me feel good. I don't like the heat. I'm an AC boy. Stay out of the kitchen then. It's really weak. Randy Trimbecki. You guys tried sauna?

I'm here. I've not tried sauna. I got my intern here, Dan, but he's not actually here. Speaking of sauna, how about this new lifetime going in across the street? Dan, you see this? He's not here.

Dan's not here. He's not here. Dan's not here. It's under construction. Where? Cross the Tau Tzu. You know where that Postino restaurant is? It's in the same building.

Damn. And it's like an upscale, they got cold plunges, Dave. It's gonna be like a $300 a month lifetime. I know. I mean, is lifetime not like consistent across the board? There are different tiers. Yeah. Yeah, this one's gonna be top tier. This is gonna be like diamond or platinum or some **** I don't know. Like, you know how they have bath houses like in like Europe? Where you can just go like chill with. There's one in Austin, remember? Yeah,

but that one that one sucks. Like I know that one looks like someone from 2016 Instagram designed it. It's got like flower walls and like fluorescent lights and **** I want old men and like I want it to look like an old Vegas casino. I want some balls just hanging on the floor. Just dragging on the tile. Just **** balls hanging. But like what would you pay for a membership to a place that just had like steam shower sun like like a casino. I want some hanging on the floor. Just dragging on the tile. Just fucking balls hanging. Like,

what would you pay for a membership to a place that just had like steam shower, sun, like essentially a spa. Lifetime is basically that with a gym attached to it. They're so nice. I would pay good money, Will. I think I would

pay some money, not good money. Like we got the chugiest, most pinstagram looking fucking bathhouse of all time in Austin. It was so devastating. I don't know. I didn't I didn't make room in my brain for it. Does it have a when you walk in? Is there like an ivy wall that you can? Oh, no, seriously, Dave, like it's, it's really bad. I have to I'll have to look it up because I remember when I read

shut down. It's like they stole the it's like they stole all the decorations from my reins oh god that place was you get a gram off there when you moved to Austin oh yeah that was a rite of passage that was the blood in yeah it was just called the Austin bathhouse oh hold on that's a different that's a totally different one definitely a different totally different one the other one was like swanky this one is like more classic looking. Like you can read books.

These are AI photos, right? Yeah, that's definitely AI. Like this is not real. Randy, what are you doing, man? I'm just telling you, that's why I did awesome bath house. That's what I've been doing. If Dan was in charge, he would have pulled that out. Well, he's not here, so.

I'll take you to a bath house. You ought to come with me to the bath house. There was an island out in the middle of the east of here that had a really good bath house. Oh, okay, this is the one, yeah. I did not pee. There was an island out uh a little bit east of here that had okay this is the one yeah I did not there it is he there it is in the cold plunge finally Austin in bathhouse 2025 so we'll see

like final bath bay bath Austin that's what it was called like it's probably some confirmation here that we need to tone it down a little bit in there yeah the purple the purple lights like it's just a lot it's it's not giving warm It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty

good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good Stupid. I'm not. I bet that **** guy across

the way is producer. Are you high right now, Randy? Little early bird. How much THC have you had since you woke up this morning? I have had zero but I'm just high on having my good friend and intern Danny. He's not here. He's not here. Dan's

not here. Dan's not here. Dan, you're Dan's beard just blends into his hoodie which blends into his jersey. So, it just it's you just look like an the I'm wearing a timely jersey. We should probably get ahead of this. I don't think we're going to be in the studio tomorrow because of the aforementioned. Well, not because school clothing. Clothing. We feel

unsafe driving in. It's because schools are canceled and we got kids to deal with that kind of **** I don't think anyone like really assumed that we were like too much of wimps to drive in. I wanted to clarify because we would probably hear from the people.

No, you got the Michigan harto right here. Like I don't think anyone in Austin should drive if there's snow on the ground. Really? Yeah, because we're just a bunch of idiots on the road. Most people's cars are not made for snow because it never snows down here. Austin as of the last freeze, Austin as a city has exactly one snowplow. Which is hilarious. We didn't maybe like acquire a second one after we had a massive snow storm here. Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime storm. It wasn't in my body. I mean that that is true. Like in Austin, that is true. Pretty much. The infrastructure is just not there.

There's a picture of me when I was two years old with like three inches of snow on the ground. And then from then until that storm a few years ago, it was basically nothing. Just like a dusting air in there. I got a photo of you from college with three inches of snow on a desk. Now I remember during that,

I remember I drove on like day three of the freeze. And like, even then there were so many people on the side of the road with their cars stuck that I was like yeah okay that was real snow this is going this has a potential to be real snow like I know you said the word dusting but people have said like it's very possible we could get up to five inches that's not nothing that's sick I hope so. That works for most people. Avery Tomasco is famously wrong a lot. I fact check him. Come on. I run a Twitter account called Avery Tomasco fact check. More like Avery Fiasco is what you would say. He's usually pretty good. That's my guy. That's such a Twitter. Trump nickname. Avery Fiasco. Yeah. His nicknames are so bad, they're good. No, Dave had a good one before the episode when we were talking about if Derek Guy roasted him. Derek Bad Guy.

I mean, Melania got a fit off. She did. That's an absolute hit. Do you think she intentionally wore the wide-rimmed hat so she couldn't kiss him? I don't know, but she looks so fucking gangster in this. Why is she about to utilize lightning to defeat her opponent?

Yeah, she looks like an evil villain, but like a hot one. I'm kind of, I mean, I'm not like super bummed Matt Gaetz isn't involved in any of this, but it would have been interesting to see how much Botox he got before he walked into the inauguration. Or his big moment. I heard they wouldn't even let him in the gates.

You'd have to do an ID check on his date that he would bring. Okay, an ID check on his date. Of course, implying that it would be a very young one. I did enjoy the tweet. He's Peter. Matt Gates tweeted, what are all these Gen Z kids going to do without TikTok?

And then someone just quote tweeted and said, they're not going to fuck you, Matt. All right. I don't know what we're doing for Patreon this week, but we don't have to think about that right now because we're not recording it tomorrow. We're doing listener voicemails.

Mike Roach of two four seven sports talking, uh, talking Natty talking ball talking little portal talking his Buffalo Bills is a bills guy don't get me started on the bills dude sorry will doesn't want to hear about I know my bad no I told I told Dave before the episode that like I'm so petty right now that I get it I I don't want the bills to win the Super Bowl solely because Brett wore his bills hat in the studio the day

off, Mike. Yeah. Somebody might have beefed an ad in a very, very, very minor way. No, I saw it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Gotta be careful. Just know that like we deal with stuff. We're workplace, you know, hardships too. We do. Dylan, what'd you do this

weekend? Thanks for asking, Will. Um not a ton going on in my neck of the woods. Just uh stepped I got Pine House on Friday. Played the Zocard. Where are the leftovers? Which Pine House? South of Mar. It's the only one I go to. Why?

Cuz it's my favorite one. It's one I'm familiar with. It's my home court. You want my take? Any more questions? Yeah, what's up? You ready for my take? You like the one on Bernard Road better? No, South of Mars is the best one. I get why you like it the most. Yeah, it's great. Spacious. Good people. Good food. TV situation is great. Vibes are great. High ceilings. Saturday, Chelsea and I went to Loro. I saw you were at Loro. The place is kind of winning me back over a little bit. The ordering system is still absolute garbage in there, but they keep I'm not sure from Loro and I was told that it smelled like quote unquote ass. They do put some weird shit in it. Sounds like something I would have said.

Both Randy and intern Callie were up in arms over my rice bowl and I was like, guys, I'm just trying to eat my lunch and move on with my day. Yeah, I was just trying to enjoy my my space without being assaulted. I was assaulted by your rice bowl. Randy, don't even start. You're the one microwaving chicken wings and stuff. Don't get me wrong. They'd always kind of smell a little good.

Every single time I microwaved something, everyone goes, oh, that smells really good. I'm like, leftover pork chops and barbecue sauce. Randy had a Ziploc bag of just steamed broccoli. It wasn't steamed, it was raw. Good, steamed with a stonk. Just rockly? Just raw, raw broccoli.

Yeah, it was like that, what was it, it was like fish and onions and rice. So Laura does something that this is very minor and there's a way to eat around it, but they over watermel- or whatever, radish, their, their bowls. What's that really colorful radish? Watermelon radish?

I don't like that. That's what I said. I said they put weird shit in there. I was referring to that. I don't need that. Why are you guys scared of radishes? I don't know. I'm not scared of them.

I don't want, I don't need a half a pound of it in my dish. Pal. Do you not like the the benefits of them? I don't know what the benefits are. What you mean like antioxidants, anti-inflammatories? What else? Yeah, I'm cardiovascular health. A number of things. You should do it. It helps gut health. I have the best gut health in this. They contain prebiotic fiber which can help feed beneficial bacteria in the gut bio. I'm the only one who never has stomach issues. I don't, I've never had one before. You sneak up the bathroom all fucking day.

Stop. That's Mondo and we know it. I don't know. I feel like washers have, nah, I don't even want to go down that road. Sunday took parks to Cidercade. Why are you moving on? We're riffing on your gut. Cidercade's sneaky, a cool spot.

I don't, you're going to have to mansplain what Cider Kade is. Cider Kade is an arc, is an old school arcade place on Riverside. It's called Cider Kade. It's called Cider Kade because the only alcohol they serve there is cider, which is weird to me. No, this place is Randy Cody. I feel like they're missing out. I have been there.

OK, I was going to say, like, this is so, you like cider, right? Yeah, I mean, I like it more than beer. I love waking up and going and playing video games and drinking cider. That's all that, it's so weird. Like, that's the only alcohol they have. Do they have a gold tea machine there? They do, but it's fucking wonky and jacked.

It's the button stick and you can't log in online. Somebody spilled cider on it. Probably. Wait, hold on a second. Did you get food there? We got a pizza for Parks. Oh, hey, is that? It was Sunday.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Plus it was for Parks, like I just said. Gotcha. Chelsea did get a pizza roll, though that was just pretty decent. Very defensive about Parks' pizza. Yeah, sorry, dude.

And then, you know, that's kinda it. Cynicade was fun. We didn't take you into Zock or we just took you in for questioning. They have all the old school arcade games, which is cool. That is cool. Play our Tribals. I don't know that there's one rule. There are no rules. It's a basketball game where you just beat the fuck out of each other. Okay, the teams don't really have street rules. They just wear like blank jerseys and fight each other.

Yeah, they punch each other and shit. See no NBA Jam. I didn't see it, but I'm sure they have. You probably avoided it since the last time you played you rage quit because Bill Lambeer pulled out from 75. So bullshit. The game stinks, man. That was a full court shot to lose by Bill Lambeer. That's right, that's what he's known for. Dude, Bill Slambeer does his thing in that game. He gets in the post and just works it. And then if you need one from downtown,

he's still got it nice. He's known as a 3D player. Talk to us about your bullshit weekend, David. I went to this place called Cidercade, where I drank cider and played Pac-Man. Dude, that's sick. It's pretty dope. I didn't see you. I was cider and played Pac-Man. Dude, that's sick. It's pretty dope. I didn't see you.

I was over in the Pac-Man corner. Smoking cigs. Smoking cigs. Do they pinball at that place? They do. I do love the sound of a pinball machine. Ski ball, pinball. Fuck ski ball.

They have pop a shot. Ski ball rules. All the video games. I'm out on ski ball. I'm also out on, what's it called? Foosball. Oh yeah, foosball. Foosball stinks. Foos, all the video. I'm out on ski ball. I'm also out on, what's it called? Foosball. Oh yeah. Foosball. Sting. Foosball is just not, it's not a fun game. As far as tabletop games go, foosball can kick rocks. Slow Twitch. Friday night. Let's see. Oh, the agency new episode. It's, it's so good. And they're leaving you right. Oh my God.

It's one of those so they don't release. It's not like they released the whole season. You can go binge it. You got to wait like an old school show, which I appreciate. But man, they left me hanging. Yeah. I've heard good things. Saturday was by far a top five busy dad day that I've had as a father. Got up, let my soon to be four year old know, hey, guess what? Guess what? Today is it's it's fucking monster truck rally day. We're going to the monster truck rally. We're going to the Hot Wheels Monster Truck Show.

Oh, yeah. So it is at the Moody Center. You guys have all been in the Moody Center. First thing I noticed, Moody Center is too small for a monster truck rally. I've always wondered why that's the venue for it. Just in general, like just why a basketball arena in general? I feel like it would just be so much better at a fairground or something. They don't have the monster trucks of which there are many,

I think there's five, they don't have room to do it. You get in there and they have like the hype men and the hype woman, the hosts, and they're wearing all white denim outfits with lights all over them and they're running around and they're just like letting the crowd get hype. And first thing you got the Wheatley contest, everything's a contest

it's like medieval times but with monster trucks so you got all yeah tiger truck or tiger shark whatever the fuck it is go run them over see how long you can ride that Wheely tiger truck it's it's it was cool I will be I'm gonna be this guy. So I rocked some 3m 30 decibel blocking headgear earmuffs. Got my son some earmuffs we ordered off Amazon that were really good. We're in there we're rocking them. The amount of people that were in that little place with zero headgear, zero earplugs and letting their kids just do it was shocking. And I was like, dude, what are you all doing? You're crazy. It's so loud in there. Wow. Do you feel like a sheep? Why? Listen to

big big big sound telling you you have to. Don't listen. If you're out there listening right now, please disregard everything Randy's saying. You're probably not listening because what Dave did is the earmuffs on right now. What Dave did is the move. Who's the only way to do it? And then one of the trucks broke down. Then they have this bit where they bring this. So by the way, they don't bring dirt in. This isn't on top of dirt like you would think. I thought there would be no dirt. They just do it on the floor and they have a donut competition. So you're just inhaling brake dust and fumes and

that's fine. That's kind of part of the allure. You kind of feel manly inhaling it taking a couple days off your life, but no big deal. So no dirt. I imagine no grave digger. Then great digger. Not there. No appearance by gravedigger. Bigfoot. Ah, Bigfoot. Bigfoot's the draw. Bigfoot's the draw. They have this thing and I've got a video of it. There's like a Zamboni type vehicle that's not, you don't think it's anything and then all of a sudden they bring it out and it slowly, painfully, slowly transforms into one of the Hot Wheels villains like Arctic, Arcterix, not Arcterix. What do you mean like it, like transformer style? Yeah, I can send you the, it's too late now.

And it turns into like a fire breathing, like dragon car thing. And you think like, oh, it goes up to one of the cars and you think it's gonna just torch the car, which you're like, hell yeah, it doesn't. It just slowly lowers down and rips the roof off the car. And you're like, that was it. Then there's an intermission.

Then they bring out like this big inflatable ramp and they have a motocross show and that's pretty sick. Then we left early to go to T-ball, get right to T-ball. It's like two minutes late, right into T-ball. Avoided the tired meltdown until the playground. And we're like, hey, let's not do the playground now. Let's do it at the playground. We avoided the tired meltdown until the playground and we're like, hey, let's not do the playground now.

Let's do it at the restaurant. There's a restaurant down the street called Flores that we have never been to. Food is fine but they've got a playground and it's just like 40 kids running around. So, we did that. So, I went back to

back to back. Uh kid activities and kids slept great. So weekend of roads, huh? Weekend of roads. Big weekend. Uh little Texans, chiefs, little uh whatever the other. What's the Saturday night game? Stop. Oh **** sorry, Will. Did Dave loves to do that. He loves to take little subtle shots after your. No, he didn't. I didn't take that. I didn't take that as a. He does it to Texas all the time. Yeah, I mean. I'm didn't take that. I didn't take that as a does it to Texas

all the time. Yeah, I mean, I was rooting for the line. I get it. It's it's a lot. It's a lot easier to dunk on Texas than the Lions. I love Dan Campbell. How can't you? Motor City Dan? I like Ben Johnson. I like the team. Uh yesterday was just,

you know, kind of a relaxing day, doing some internetting, things of that nature. So, did you get any meditations? No. Did you? No. I haven't meditated. I wasn't seeking much intention yesterday.

I used to be pretty good about breathing exercises and I haven't done them in like a year. I'll sometimes do it before bed if I like need to cool down a little bit. Yeah. Take some deep breaths. Yeah. I've started making my son take deep breaths when he gets upset about something. Little reset button.

Are kids still supposed to like count to 10? You tell somebody to count to 10? I don't know, no. I remember that that was a big thing. He knows how to, but he just. That's huge. Shout out to Fritz, man. How about you? You know,

with this weather coming up with my wife having a bunch of stuff going on this weekend, I decided that I was going to treat myself when offered on Friday to go play a little golf. I also fired off a 103 two weeks ago on my birthday when we went out with Dave and I needed to get a little redemption Did I redeem myself I don't know I shot a 93 It was fine. I would take 93 out there. It was fine. It was windy. It was windy We were battling the elements, but I did that had a little little dinner on Friday night What's a metal ranchos people are probably wondering well, what'd you get there? Yeah got an OZ a daro taco or do

It's twice in a row bud Did you okay? Oh, you didn't get the text from the person that invited me my mother-in-law Let me look yeah, let's see if she texted you about going to Matt's with us. Oh shocker At 430 shocker will once again to not include me. Thanks. Are you rolled golf right into Matt's? Yeah, I told Brett that like usually when I play golf, especially on a weekday upon getting home It's one of those situations where I'm just a yes man. Like, oh, can we go to dinner here?

Yeah, let's do it. Can't go too deep into the influencing there. And then Saturday, kind of just mulled around all day. Did a lot of cleaning. Kind of was on edge for the Lions game. We had free tickets to the Texas Stars hockey game and I couldn't not watch the Lions so Sally took Fritz man to that and I stayed at home and watched it with my other son Charlie. How did he like it? He went to bed like almost immediately. Oh, oh how did Fritz like the hockey game? Yes. Absolutely loved it.

Absolutely loved it. Absolutely loved it. Can't wait to do it with him. You'll be buying some hockey gear. It's really cheap. Yep. Yeah. No, he, unfortunately he got a mini stick at the game and kept asking Sally when he could go down

and play with them. And so he's all in on playing a little puck, which is not really the path that I saw for him in life. But if that's really what he wants to do, I guess I'm gonna encourage it. Brett will be there to help. Exactly. Um, you know, the game didn't go as planned. Drank a couple two hearted ales, piled on a bunch of Guinness after that. Smoked a cigarette at my fire pit after the game. That's fucking rough. So you guys, yeah, you guys

have both had heartbreak, um, but you had an entire group text that was riding with you. Yeah. In the last couple of weeks. Do you like that experience more or do you like kind of just being on your own for a game? No, no. I wish more than anything. I actually think we would have won the game if I had like one of my boys with me watching the game. That was like a tried and true like lifelong Lions fan.

I think I had bad mojo. Okay, you know? Yeah. Um, and you? I like having the support of a group text with me. But when when things go south and the L is is gonna happen, I like to the chatter dies down, out of respect. Yeah, it needs to die down. I need to be with my thoughts for a little bit. Was the group text going off that night for me? It was for a little bit and then it got quiet.

Yeah. What's absolutely pitiful is we were down 17 and I was still sitting on the couch with like four minutes left being like, I think we can do this. Yeah. And then it was just so clear we weren't. Sally slinked out of the room,

went and got in bed and went to sleep. Smart lady. She caught a, she did something that I'm not a huge fan of, which was she sneakily recorded me smoking a cigarette at the fire pit. And it's really a sad video. I don't know if it should be released at any point, but it's like- Put it on Sunday Scaries. It's really depressing. It's like really depressing. And it was one of those things where like I found a pack of cigarettes that I've had for like three years. And I just found it and had it and the first puff I took I was like, why would I do this? This is so disgusting. They're gross.

It was to do it to him. It was truly bad. And then yeah, Sunday was just kind of lick the wounds just avoidance at all costs. You don't You know, it's not ideal when your team gets out of the playoffs and then the very next morning you watch your other favorite team play their sport and they get their ass kicked. And you just have to, you know, 13 hours I watch two teams just get their ass kicked. It's not ideal. How's your wet January going though? I'm sopping. I've still only missed one day of drinking.

So you're 19 for 20? Yeah, I'm 19 for 20 right now I plan on probably going how many days are in January 31 31. I'm gonna go 30 I'm gonna go 30. These guys just drenched so my weekend of fun. Thanks for asking. I actually took my intern golfing Brady I didn't even get I didn't even get to the part of the weekend that I thought you would love Okay, let's hear it. We made s'mores at the fire pit. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.

But did you, I mean, dozens of people have read my article. Did you do any of the, you just do standard? Did you try any of mine? No mods, no mods. It was more for the kids. We had a couple over who's, one of them had a birthday. And so we decided to do a little fire pit. I'm telling you, everyone out there, if you want to try mixing up try a peanut butter and jelly

s'more it is very good yeah i i wish i would have gone a little harder i mailed it in and then yeah that was that you know your boy closed on the weekend watching a little traders watching a little love island what do i need to get you guys to do to get on traders. I don't think it's gonna happen. It's electric, dude. I'm telling you. I don't doubt that but. I'm telling you. It's not it's not every single day like Love Island, Dylan. Dude, I gotta finish this John Gotti documentary I started. Then maybe. Okay. You just let me know. You guys have my peacock log in. Oh yeah, that's right. Okay. We'll see about it.

I'll take the peacock log in away if you're not going to use it. I'm already logged in. I'll change that password on you and log out all devices. Please don't do that. That's what Sally did to Ross when he gave it to 42 people. But he completely abused it. I'm just keeping it to myself. I didn't care that Ross gave it to other people, but I did care that our password was given

to that many people. Yeah, that's a problem. Because that was like, well, the annoyance isn't that people are watching on the account the annoyance is that now we have to change a password for everything. But it was fun whatever. Let's hear from our friends over at Better Help because this show is sponsored by Better Help. I got a question for you Dylan how do you stay cozy during the winter months man?

Before we get to our next thing, Randy, can you put up the screenshot that I sent you on Slack real quick? We have some breaking news. One Mark Zuckerberg has been caught being horny. Oh, come on. Is I think it's possible that he's looking

behind her. I don't know. Because if you see other people are kind of looking down at something in the back. I don't think dude, that's the most cleavage there. Yeah, I think Zuck requested that seat. What's that undergarment? She's got on Oh, I don't know but I'd like to know It's like some lingerie. Hey Jeff, can I talk to your girlfriend? Yeah, he's being horny whatever fuck it there's so much money in that picture right there a little bit a little bit It's Zucks wife gonna send him a message being like, so how's it going there?

She's sitting next to him. I can't, I couldn't tell. She's there. So she knows what's happening. That is Tony Gonzalez's ex, right? Bezos cucked Tony Gonzalez. I think so. That does sound familiar.

Wait, what? Is that right? Yeah. Fact check this. We're fact checking. Googling. Oh. OK. It's a good poll from interned. Oh, they have kids together.

He's an Austinite, too, isn't he? Yes, he lives in Terrytown. Terry, I do like Tony Gonzalez. I thought he was a very good player. He works for Amazon, right? For the NFL. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, was that kind of like a deal? You get my ex-wife, I get an analyst job. She looks older than Tony. I mean that respectfully or distinguished than Tony. Oh, yeah. I'm not

saying a word about Lauren Sanchez because I'll get or Laura Sanchez, right? Lauren, Laura, I'll get in trouble. A lot of good Laura I'll get in trouble a lot of good looking people on that stage A lot of good looking people on that stage. Oh, yeah, you could tell it's a hot stage today Poor bill. It's a hot stage. I normally don't I don't know. I don't know what to say Okay, now people like oh what were they talking? What are they laughing about? No, they weren't. Should we talk about this dog? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Zucks got some dogging up apparently. All right. So last week, well, last weekend I had a run in with the robot dog on a walk with Stella and this dog was basically terrorizing dogs that were walking past. Can I interrupt you, man? Because I don't like how you frame that. There's no such thing as bad dogs, just bad dog owners. This was a robot dog that was being controlled by his bad owner. What? My point. Robot. Oh. Yeah. Made out of plastic.

Pure bread? Yes. For what I could tell. Then we talked about it on Monday and I was like, man, I should have kicked this fucking thing because it was terrorizing dogs and it was bullshit. The consensus online was you should have kicked that. I should have kicked that fucking thing and then apparently uh this guy took the same robot dog to um so there's a little off leash area

on the same walking route that I take, which is kind of over by Auditorium Shores on the walk there, the hiking bike trail. And this dude took his robot dog to the off leash dog park and just fucking set it free. And these dogs- Is it free though? It's remote controlled?

Ray's gonna play the video for us here. Do they have like free roam mode on these dogs? We were trying to figure that out too. I don't know if it's all controlled by his little remote that he has or if it's like autopilot mode. So in this guy's defense, I did find out that this dog is a rescue. Oh really? Okay. Yeah, but he didn't save the dog. The dog saved him. He got it from a bad situation. So these dogs are, they don't look to be super bothered. They're like more just like, what the fuck's going on? They're all kind of excited and chasing this robot around. But when I walked past this guy, it was on a narrow walkway where dogs couldn't really get away from it. And he was running after them and just scaring

the shit out of dogs and it bothered me. This video makes it look like the robot dog is more scared of the other dogs. Especially that pit bull going after it. Yeah that pit bull, I'm surprised the pit bull didn't just drag it. But yeah I think it's also like there's a little reason for people have dog on leashes because like when a dog's on a leash and a dog that's off leash comes up to it they feel like more threatened so I can see even see like if a bunch of dogs are on leash on that pedestrian image it's way worse to go up to. Yeah this is this is more palatable for me because it's a leash free area so the dogs roam freely and they're choosing to

go up to this thing. Yeah, man. Yeah, that's, I mean, the same guy, same dog. He's got the, if you look closely, you can see he's got a little cowboy hat attached to it, like I talked about, little felt cowboy hat. I don't know. Me and my friends would have killed that dog with hammers, I can tell you that.

These are just dogs attacking a vacuum. It's so, yeah, it's a Roomba. It's like Roomba shit. It's a Roomba. But it walks like a dog. Isn't it true that like even like, did you see that Kim Kardashian had one of like the human ones? No.

Is it true that the human ones are still remote controlled completely? I don't know what you're talking. They're not connecting to Neuralink. Like the Boss and Dynamics ones? No, they have like, I don't know. Randy, don't you have a real doll? I'm not, I'm not. No, don't you have a real doll? Yeah.

No, I do not have a real doll. You just have the midsection. What are the comments like? Are they in support of this or they like leave the dogs alone or what's going on here? Uh, someone says the dogs are warning us. Even the dogs know better. No, I think, I think it's a general consensus that you're allowed to kick that fucking thing. Now, if these are fur babies, what is that?

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Trying to think of a tech play here. Also, have you thought about calling your kids skin puppies? Well, I entered Dan Vine for the job. Skin puppy.

Hey, Dan's not here though, guys. Skin puppy. A skin puppy. Yeah, I just gotta go though, guys. Skin puppy. A skin puppy. Yeah, I just gotta go pick up my skin puppies. That's the fucker. That's the same guy. Same guy? Absolutely, yeah.

Is he in the comments? Be like, dude, that's my fucking robot dog. Yeah, did they tag the guy? I'm sure somewhere. Dude, this guy's just cleaning up with his robot dog. This dude's getting so many numbers I know this is I mean Terminator man They use dogs to uh to to figure out who the Terminators were does it what this is. I want a graffiti this dog

You have that might be like just don't cool graffiti like they did with that fucking truck I saw people I saw someone that just has a card that just says dork on it and they've been putting it on cyber truck Windshields, I love that. Can you imagine walking up to your car and you just have a note on it? You're like, what's this and you open it just says dork. I Still every time I see a cyber drug I still try to look inside to see who's driving that thing just be like just did silently judge like this is the kind of dork I'm unfortunately I've like been conditioned to the cyber trucks now where like the normal ones on the road don't bother me, but it's the ones

with the custom paint job that piss me off. Used to like when they first came out, you might see one or two around another just fucking everywhere. Oh, it's crazy. It's crazy. Like, I mean, I see numerous driving by my house every single day.

It's definitely way more in Austin too. Cause my brother saw his first cyber truck like a month ago and I'm like, oh buddy, I see like one every week. If you drive down South Congress right now, like every parking spot's going to be a cyber truck. I actually heard Trump's going to have his, uh, the beast is going to be a cyber truck, the Cadillac one. If that happens, I mean like idiotic, he gets thrown around a lot.

If that, if that were to happen, I don't even what do you do? Know what's the craziest thing that I found out this week? So Trump's uncle used to be like the head researcher for MIT and he got left a bunch of like documents from Nikola Tesla when he died That's true. So it's just kind of like a weird coincidence with Elon, and Tesla. This is a bigger picture. Dang.

What's going on? Touching based. What's going on here? That's got facts. We'll look into it. See, I'm in a different situation that I usually don't put my stuff on the screen when I say stuff, but now Dan's saying stuff

and I never know he's going to say and I'm going to be in the clip if I am. As somebody that has to deal with that with their normal job with much worse things, you're gonna be okay. That's true. Yeah, I thought we were going a different direction with MIT and Trump.

I was like, how are we going? It's going like the Ed Stern thing. I'm going up there. Just like a funny little coincidence. It's an amazing ironic note. It's a simulation, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Think about it. Nikolo Tesla, famously Serbian. Famously Serbian. You have Serbian friends. I do have Serbian friends. Not Albanian. Not Albanian. Not Albanian friends.

The Serbs are a problem. Always had been. Do you want to speak to that, Randy? I do make fun of my Serbian friends, so it's fine. They seem wild. They roast lamb all the time. They also roast Bosnians. Jesus. Can we talk about big dogs? From

robot dogs to big dogs. Dylan, explain big dogs. So we have previously covered the, what is it? The Eight Great Men, which is a club of high performing individuals in Austin who get together, they don't drink. They set up cameras around their living room and record. Well, they say they don't drink.

They record their conversations with each other. And I guess they talk shop and, you know. I don't know. They perform highly. They perform highly. Meaningful conversations over grass-fed steaks. And that was a non-alcoholic beer. I did my research. I have my most meaningful conversations

over a couple of drinks. Yeah. We have a new character and he's a big dog. And he wants to recruit other big dogs to hang out and I don't hate what I'm hearing from the from the jump off the red. He's a grifter. He's trying anyway. Randy just play the video. He's got the zuck wardrobe. Yeah good shoulders. You got any volume there? Yeah, yeah. You got me it up over there? Yeah. Oh no. Yeah. Hoss. Let me make sure to see what's going on. Wow. Intern Dan's first. Oh wow. Dan,

what'd you help our? It's intern week. I'm here to kind of supervise and just kind of do some quality control. I think Randy's got too many frames per second. What's going on? Sometimes Twitter videos don't work for the audio. See if you can find that on YouTube, Randy. Yeah, I'm gonna try to find this on YouTube. This is a Reddit, John. Sorry, Randy. Guess I should have tested this out beforehand.

Don't make you nervous, Randy. Do I make you nervous? Try it one more time. Brother, you say you- Okay, what was going on there? What did you switch over? I didn't I didn't switch anything. I turned up one thing, but it wasn't turned all the way down Let me be honest you I disconnected from the Bluetooth But that didn't know that was here. Let's just watch this not on you Dave son Randy big dog

But how do you actually feel we brother you say you're a big dog But how do you actually feel when you're in a room full of big dogs who are bigger than you because that is the test of your masculinity do you pipe up and try to leave or because it's not your arena you just sort of stand on the sidelines all closed off and shit aren't you yeah prove it at the next next level retreat because that is where the elite men go to embody and practice all the shit that they've been learning because if not then you are just all talk I hate being that I've done that before see you there comment next level below and I'll um give you the link so you can come wait a minute so you can come that's all you got to do uh are men in trouble men that why

are men down bad it's trying it's like okay is the next four years of trump and theory like are these kind of guys gonna go away? Like, cause they've been, or they're just gonna just like empower them. No, no, they're empowered today. I give this guy a pass cause he has an accent. What kind of insecure little twat do you have to be to sign up for something like this? I don't hate that this guy's actually sliding in

little like funny remarks versus the other guys who take themselves way too seriously. Also, this guy is kind of big and I'm just gonna cower in fear and just be like, yeah man, my only criticism is he has way too many zippers on his pants. He's a big dog. I mean, if you were in a room

and this guy's trying to big dog you, out big dog you, like I'd be sitting there just like, what's this guy's fucking problem? Imagine being in a room full of all these guys and everyone's just trying to be the big dog. You're not the big dog. They're just talking over each other and puffing up their chest. It's like, shut up. of all these guys and everyone's just trying to be the big dog. You're not just talking, just talking over each other and, you know,

puffing up their chest. It's like, shut up. Trying to have a conversation. Too many big dogs. Too many big dogs in one room. Intern Dan? That's kind of like a Christian vibe to it. Yeah.

Certainly. They all, it all does. Like I feel like all the hustle stuff is like very like brand safe. They don't swear. I just, these guys are just so annoying and they're popping up all over the place. I'd say that too, if I was a small little dog. I'm a small dog compared to him.

I'll admit it. Almost a pup. Is that his microphone clipped onto the collar? Yeah, I think it is. It's a little bit too in the shot. The road mic. Why is that so large? That's kind of just been accepted now on social media. You'll see Sam Solik famously puts it on his hat

That's not a good look. It works for him. He hat clipped it Can't be hat clipping it. Are you familiar with Sam Solik? No He's a big dog. Okay, is he bigger than Dylan? Oh, he's much bigger than Dylan I can see Dan going to one of these. No, Dan would hate these guys. You think there's any big dogs on the stage at the uh inauguration

right now? I do. Yeah. Quite a few. There might be one or two big dogs. Yeah, some big dogs. It's actually why I'm here. My big dogs are at the uh inauguration. Oh. Yeah. I don't know about big dogs but there's some sweater puppies out there.

Okay. Zuck saw them. Well, I said Zuck saw them. He sure did. I don't think Zuck's wife is there. Based on that screenshot, she's not sitting next to us. She's right next to him. No, no, she's not there. We saw them. No, he's in demon hours right now. She's also having a glow up. That's what money does. Oh yeah, they both are. Did he like make a statue of her or have one? Yes, he did. He's a wife guy. Yeah, she seems chill. Well, he's also doing the jitsu. So he's going full libertarian. Yeah, you got to you hang around in those gyms too long. I mean what he is now is I mean that's nothing

compared to what you see in the gyms. Yeah, don't still think he could take zuck Zero chance. Yeah, I don't think you're getting choked out in 30 seconds. I can take zuck. No You're not dude. He's got the nerd gene to the extreme dude. A lot of those guys a big dog, though He's not an athlete. He's a big dog though. Most ufc fighters are nerds No, no, they're not. Yes. They are.

That clip that I should have kidnapped his dad. And you had the chance to send a message to Zuck and you chose to not kidnap a family member. No, he should be thankful, though. Well, you know that, Dan, what happened? We had a chance to kidnap Dr. Zuckerberg. No, we in this and we decided not to because we just didn didn't want to you know, I was sending that kind of message. I was in the bathroom listening to the dental talk or whatever it was. He's a dentist. And he was at a South by event that we were at and he was speaking there. There is some panel. He was just talking teeth. He was the we were like on the panel. We don't want to hear this guy talk about teeth like his his son's Mark Zuckerberg. He's talking about the the Facebook and That whole thing the face. Yeah, talk about drop drop into the that's what we want. Yeah, that was cool I like as a dad weapon in the metaverse

Selfish would feel like a boner just attaching that belt to me and hanging weights off me. I realized a long time ago I am a boner. Yeah for pull-ups. Nah, that's a big dog move Yeah, no, I know that it is but I don't but I feel like if you do that You're making a statement to like I am a big dog and I need added weight and it's like, alright Look at this fucking guy. Your body weight is probably enough pal. I just try to perform highly minimum. You need a 45

Okay How many pulls can you do with no weight? It's a third of my weight Right now I'm 225. I could probably do 15 That's a lot 15 body weight full lockout. Yeah. Oh, do you do that? Overhand or underhand overhand under hands for biceps. I know but I know wow we're getting in the weeds here Everyone knows I'm a bad guy. You are check Check out that guy living in the Ab guy world. Yeah. Dan's been saying that for years, man.

I'm like the green monster. I remember, I remember workshopping that column with you in the bullpen. Just talking about how much of a bad guy Dan is. And he brought it, he brought it to life. When Dan like kind of is sitting at your, the door of your office or just kind of standing there and you just kind of know he's cooking on some calm. He's about to bounce some bounce a little

bit off of you just to like test pollute it. All right. So Dave, I got like, I'm like, I got this big back, right? Just seeing if that material is going to make the special. Gotta make quota, which I never did. That's all right. I think only one person did and it was Harrison. Pageview God. Oh, I made quota. Did you? Yeah, I made quota. person did and it was Harrison in pageview. God. Oh, I made quota Did you yeah, I made quota

Everyone had everyone had a quota but like when the quota got when the quota got put out I was like, oh, I'm already like I I already do that. So I'm good. Yeah, he's a high performer. Well, yeah I'm a volume shooter. He's a big dog. I like volume shooting. It was a quality guy Sure is you guys are guys, do you care that TikTok's gone? Or that it was possibly going? I'm not a TikTok user. Yeah, I don't really care. I have TikTok on my phone. I only used it in situations where I was actively trying to burn time. And when it went away, I actually thought

to myself like this is actually for me personally fine. Don't really care uh, I said before the episode that I If they took away like instagram or twitter, which I use way more than tick tock There's no way that you could pay me to eulogize it like other people are on social media right now I feel like when you Are writing for a social media platform that hard. It's just like a weird look. So the only time I will take that or the only time I could point to that that was a good thing is when Vine went down and then like the next 48 hours was just Vine threads on Twitter. That was great. And that was delightful.

Curry ruined our site by embedding too many vines. Yeah, too many frames per second, Randy. He sent it to me to edit and he goes, hey, it too many vines. Yeah, too many frames per second, Randy. He sent it to me to edit and he goes, hey, it might not actually open. So I was like, well, should we post it then? Yeah, we did. I'm like, I can't preview it? Yeah, that's not a good sign.

But it was enjoyable. Well, I'm glad it's back. I got a little, yeah, we know you are. I bet you are. I don't care. If you're a creator on there and like you enjoy it, like I'm glad it's back. I got a little yeah, we know you are you are I don't care if you're a creator on there and like You enjoy it like I'm glad it's back for you I'm just so sick of hearing about people complaining that they can't scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll

I was happy because people would send me tic tocs and I have a tic toc. Yeah, so that was annoying Yeah, Sally said I'm really glad that no one can send me tic tocs that I can't watch anymore Makes sense. I deleted it off my phone when it got banned. I probably will not re-download. I got a screenshot from my sister-in-law the other day, since she's a TikToker and it's this girl, and I'm not gonna say her at, because I don't really want her to get like harassed

or anything, but she says, she posted a TikTok that was just her staring into the screen with a eyelash filter on, and it says, you're telling me I have to go from this community to the Slams Laptop Shut till Monday ass app. Oh. Here's the thing.

I want to get out of ahead of this. I actually don't really care if someone makes fun of Slams Laptop Shut till Monday. I'm actually very tired of making these every week and it's low hanging fruit at this point. But if I can, you know, take my free time and beef with a random creator on TikTok, I'm gonna do that.

Can we give her a view and watch the video? The video doesn't do anything. It's just text on top of it. How many followers? Just text, like hardly any, but the thing went, I think it was at like 40K views when I posted this. And then I think people went to the profile to go see it and it helped it out.

I saw you called her out for an eyelash filter. Dude, okay, so whatever. posted this and then I think people went to the profile to go see it and it helped it out. I saw you called her out for an eyelash filter. Dude. Okay. So whatever. I just thought it was funny that she had an eyelash filter on. Like that's such a small thing to filter. Fun fact, I didn't notice.

Pretty big X lashes. She doesn't appear to have like the longest of eyelashes, but I don't care. I'm not going to hear to critique her appearance. She ended up making another video saying that I posted it to the Sunday Scaries Instagram story because I thought it was kind of funny. I cropped out her at unintentionally. I just wanted to make it look better. She called me out for posting without her at as if I'm supposed to promote someone who's

talking shit about me. Like, what are you talking about? I went on her Instagram, which she obviously has, since she knows about slam's laptop shut till Monday, and she had posted six Instagram stories that day. So she's already just like chronically online poster. She's a real poster. Like I'm just like what don't talk shit about the app when you're the one still like you're posting on it more than I am. Ashlyn. Well, I need to start using the eyebrows. She's kind of serving in that shot, though. This is an eyelash filter, dude. You have great eyelashes, Dave. I'm looking at it right now. It used to be better. Yeah, you have some bad cute eyelashes. Did you floss in those things? They used to be

better. I don't know. She's got the slick back. She kind of looks like Scott Conn. She's got the Baron Trump going. No, Randy looks like Scott Conn. Which I respect. Dan looks like Scott Conn. No, you do. Yeah, you look like Scott Conn. She's got the Baron Trump going. No, Randy looks like Scott Conn. Which I respect. Dan looks like Scott Conn. No, you do. Yeah, you look like Scott Conn. I certainly don't look like Scott

Conn. You had a Scott Conn face. It's like a bad. Randy wakes up every day looking like Scott Conn. Yeah, sure. He's he's good looking guy. He's movie star. Movie star. Tiny fella. Son of James Khan. Rest in peace. Yeah, I just, I don't know.

The TikTok community is very, not that I underestimated it. I knew a lot of people used it, but I didn't know that there was the same, I don't know. What's your opinion on them moving to Red Note and fully embracing Chinese propaganda? Talk to Randy about that one. Like, oh man, they got free healthcare?

Yeah, how many followers do you have on Red Note? I never moved to Red Note. I was ready to just leave TikTok behind, but I'm glad TikTok's back. Never tried Red Note. Never will. You sure? I am positive. Positive.

It's trending, Psyop. Dude, actually, there are so many conspiracies. I say the word Psyop. I don't fully know. Like, is that just like, just throw it out? You can apply it to anything. I was going to say, like, I don't totally know what it means, but like. Doesn't matter.

Yeah. Just throw it out. Like, that's fucking Psyop. I'll keep doing what I'm doing then. That works. There's so many. It's like, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom.

I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going doesn't matter. Yeah, just throw it out. Like that's fucking side. OK, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Then that works. There's so many conspiracy theories that like meta bought TikTok without like any type of, you know, again, I feel like the shareholders need to know as it's a publicly traded company.

It is weird that the same weekend that TikTok was going away that Instagram decided to make your personal feed look more like TikTok by making everything instead of squares into rectangles. Oh, good call. Interesting. Just saying.

Just saying. I did see something new on Instagram that was, you go to the profile and it was the Just Scene, which was my favorite thing on TikTok thattok that Instagram didn't have that was like you can see that though oh maybe there I don't like that you can see if you're on reels like a little bubble that there's like your friends like some other videos go see what they like what is that bullshit I hate it I got one suggested from Dave and I was like why is Dave liking this random fashion

tik-tok like I can't imagine Dave pressing the heart button on this. Really? No, Dave, this, this one in particular is like, why would Dave ever like this? And so I clicked on it to see why he like, or like see who else liked it. And then it just took me to. What did it take me to? It took me to a hilarious one that you liked. I was just like, OK, this is much better than Dave, like in a fashion one. It's like from like Shithead Steve or something.

I was very confused by that first. I'm like wait, hon. They all like this video. Oh, no They're gonna go to some random other video I'm trying to get a photo Dan Dan is mouthing what I was talking No, Instagram is uh, it's gotten a little bit more complicated for a simple mind like myself So I there's a lot of things I don't dabble with on there. A lot of features. Let's go back to the old days. Remember when chicks in college would upload their digital camera photos on Instagram?

It was so pure. Yeah, it was a better time. It was, it was like a photo bucket account. That's right. That's how it started. Right? Yeah. We used to be goated.

Dude are you talking about your son or you talking about the Sun? The Sun. Did you read that Wikipedia page I sent you? Which one? I sent you a Wikipedia page via Twitter I think on Friday night. Do you remember this? I was probably fucking faded dude honestly. You might have been. I thought this was gonna be pertaining to this. Oh okay I responded I'm gonna I'm gonna read this when I'm

not drunk can't wait. I forgot about it. What is it called? So the people at HomeNote we're talking about? I'm pulling it up right now. Give me a sec. Timeline of the far future. This absolutely crumpled my brain laying in bed one night. I read the entire Wikipedia page and it's long. Okay. I probably don't have time to fully digest it.

And give us a rundown of what it means. Let me pull it up just to make sure I'm not saying anything stupid. This is James Webb telescope. Jimmy Webb? What I was gonna say is the sun has reached solar maximum, which happens about once every 11 years. It means the magnetic fields have flipped.

Damn, it's about the blast? No, but things start popping. They got more solar flares and it makes the northern lights very visible for a period of time, even in places where it's not typically visible. Well, that's how it has been this. I mean, I guess end of last year polar. I mean, the northern lights were crazy in places. Give us a rundown of this.

Okay. This is called Timeline of the Far Future. This, it's called timeline of the far future. I got on this list because someone said like, drop me your most interesting Wikipedia page. It's a lost art to do this lately. And it was just timeline of the far future. It says, while the future cannot be predicted with certainty, present understanding in various scientific fields allows for the prediction of some far future events, if only in the broadest timeline. And so this takes you from like a thousand years from now, what could

possibly happen to the universe down all the way. This is for real scrollers only to 30 quintillion years to three sextillion years from now. And what's going to happen? Um, well, it sounds like the universe is essentially going to eat itself if we just don't, if we, if we hold the line right now, we're in a collision course with another galaxy to do. That's the thing. They're going to be colliding, combining like all this stuff. Is this um, what happens with quantum computing? Dave loves quantum. I feel like that's a thing that like people can use now. Dave loves quantum computing. I feel like that's a thing that people can use now.

See, this says- It's a thing. This says in 314 quinticillion years, the estimated time until a micro black hole of one earth mass today will have decayed into a subatomic particles by emission. I don't even know what that means. I'm sorry I read that one. That one's a bad one. Did that say the Hawking particle?

Bro, I don't know. It's probably for Stephen Hawking not Hawk Tua. Ah fair Stephen Hawking. What if the universe just gets rugged? Dude, that's how this ends. It's just a total meme coin play What's a quintillion? Why are we working today when we all made so much money off Trump coin? After a quadrillion, right? That makes a billion trillion quadrillion quintillion. Quintillion will get you to the goal line. Then a couple of bad play calls. I'm sorry. It's a sports play. If you like that kind of insight, check out too much dip. So basically we're not around for too much.

Well, we are for longer, but eventually this is all we're going to turn into dust. Yeah. There's a part of it where they start talking about how the sun's going to get like cold as fuck. That sounds bad. It's not good for earth. It's not good. Is that a red dwarf?

Sounds like the earth that could exist for a really long time with only uh, single cell organisms on it And then it's just gonna get like eaten by like another galaxy people are concerned with global warming But the real travesty is global cooling. We've had a couple of those events. It's not good. It's very bad A lot of volcanoes just kind of fill in the atmosphere with smoke What kind of fill in the atmosphere with smoke. What kind of smoke? What Dan said. Loud. It's fucking smoking loud.

Yeah. Well, Dylan can famously outrun lava. Yeah, you'll be fine. Easily. And we don't, we don't need to worry about smoke from Dylan. It's like, oh, I see that volcano has erupted. Let's just get out of here. Then we're fine.

Solar flares do scare me. No, they're, they're not dangerous. Should we be concerned about the grid? They interfere with the electrical grid. Oh, they, they, they affect, they affect. Probably do. Communication stuff. That's a big deal.

Yeah. I don't think it's a big deal. You don't? I think it's, it's very, I think it's very temporary. You think of communications going out for a couple of days, couple of weeks? I think it's very, very temporary. Okay. going out for a couple of days, couple of weeks? I think it's very, very temporary. Okay. You heard it here first, don't clip that.

Like, I don't even know how to read these numbers. It's 10 to the 10th to the 120th. And it says it's the highest estimate for the time it takes for the universe to reach its final energy state. That was kind of bars. What? 10 to the 10th. 10 to the 10th the 10 to the 12.

Just don't get high and read this. It might make you really think. Ooh, the moon may collide with earth in 65 billion years. That would be kind of exciting. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger than right up on our shit. You want the moon? I put a lasso around the moon. I'm more worried about Uranus getting big. Check out FitBot. They like that one, David. Are you going to call your friend and let him know that you did the joke? Like, ten to the tenth to the... Seventy-six?

That's not even worth thinking about. No one should waste their time even trying to cover it. What do you mean it's not worth thinking about? It's the highest estimated possible time for the Black Hole era. Dylan, you're in your Black Hole era, aren't you? Ten to the twentieth is a hundred quintillion. Okay, but what about... It says, beyond this point, it is almost certain

the universe will be almost pure vacuum with all baryonic matter having decayed into subatomic particles, gradually winding down their energy level until it reaches its final energy state, assuming it does not happen before this time. Okay, 10 to the 30th is one nonillion. What about 10 to the- That's a word I've never heard, nonillion?

You say baddie? Baddie addict? No one can think about that. This is why quantum computing. Treticillion is... Okay. Three times 10 to the 43rd is 30 treticillion years. What does that even fucking mean?

That's so many years. So this says that, yeah, okay. So you read the part about the moon colliding with Earth, and then 100 billion years from now, it says all the around 47 galaxies of the local group will coalesce into a single large galaxy. They're calling it milk drameda. And the last galaxies of the local group coalescing

will mark the effective completion of its evolution. Total consciousness, wow. Now, whatever exists then, do you think they will still be on their grind on their hustle trying to do some drop shipping? Yeah, the real high performance, dude. It's a real tough scene if it's a reincarnation is real. I don't want to be around for this. We are but a moment in time. David Lynch said it. You're reincarnated. Rest in peace. You know who will be there for this? Brian Johnson. He will. Yup. That's right. He's not the liver king. He's gonna kiss the moon when it gets close enough. Just rocked up. Yup. Just getting boner. Nobody to show it to. Yeah. I'm just imagining him

like floating in space like getting ready to touch the moon He's dr. Manhattan who's dr. Manhattan that from watchmen. Oh I don't watch I've never seen watchmen you finishing. I don't watch man. Oh You have finished Shogun You know, come on, you know Shut no, I don't think this is the room to ask this. Can I tell you the truth? What? It's fine. Oh, you're getting it. I've watched like half the season and then I stopped because I just got like, I was traveling when I was watching it. So I was watching it on a plane and just cruising through episodes. Then I got home to my two kids and was

like, oh, I can't watch subtitles right now. I'm tired. It just seems like a show that didn't have a budget. Really? Yeah. It feels like they were kind of building up for like this big action scene or like big war scene. Yeah. Never comes. No big war scene? I thought that was inevitable. They got a ship back though. Hard to say. I don't want to spoil it. Yeah. You never know. You never know. That's my ship. He just puts off a kind of, uh, I need to get to my god. He just missed opportunity. Yeah, for sure. Well, I'm a little worried about what's gonna happen in 7.9 billion years. What was the news Dylan had though? He had Sunday. Yeah,

some magnet. I said it was the sun has reached solar maximum, which means it's, it's polar ends have switched your solar maximum. Wow. It's magnetic field has is flip flop. Does that fuck with the poles or now? On on. Ready? He's fine. Not on not on. Okay. Not on earth. No. We we won't notice much of a difference here. But you could possibly see the Northern Lights at some point. I did. I like the Oregon comfort. Did you? Yeah.

Sick. I've never seen him. David, don't even matter. We'll try. There was like a week where you could kind of see him here, you? Yeah. Sick. I've never seen him. David, don't even matter. No. We'll try. There was like a week where you could kind of see him here, right? Or like you're in Marble Falls or some **** Yeah. I I didn't. Too much light pollution. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. That sort of thing. Anyway, fun episode guys. It was fine. I like to have Dan in the room. I use it. I want to be clear. Dan never, Dan, if Dan was here, which he's not, he stood up the entire episode at no point. That's big dog behavior. At the

very beginning, he was squatting at the beginning. Yeah, but I'm just kind of honoring Dave because he used to have a standup desk at Grand Ex. True. So, I use it for about three days. Yeah, you didn't give that thing a good run. No. I

was talking about doing it for the podcast. It's hard to be, it doesn't, it doesn't give that thing a good run. No, it wasn't my thing. I was talking about doing it for the podcast. It's hard to be, it doesn't, it doesn't work with my creative brain. Would that actually be incredible? We all just had three stand up deaths in here. We just stood at them. You know who actually does stand up podcasts

because of his back's all fucked up? Mickey Gall. I've done a couple of his shows and he has to stand up the entire time. Dan, there's two people in the room who know who Mickey Gall is. Everyone knows who Mickey Gall is. I have no idea who that is. He famously beat CM Punk.

He beat Sage Northcutt like eight years ago. Sage Northcutt stinks. He's not really fighting any boys. He's fighting, that is. He's a great guy. Nicest guy we've, one of the nicest guys we've ever encountered, ripped an apple up. Maybe have a comeback era like Matty B.

Matty B's putting down some tracks right now. He's back in the game. I mean, heard that one. I know he's got fucking bars. He's pivoted. Spotify rap Maddie B. Me and your downer. Is this clear for the draft yet? He's a lockdown cornerback. He's not playing. He's not playing cornerback. He's a lockdown cornerback. He's not playing cornerback. Oh yeah, I forgot. He doesn't have the makings of a collegiate athlete. I heard Ryan Day offered him.

Oh yeah, that's tonight. Fuck yeah. Is this the most uncovered national championship in the history of the NCAA? Two very unlikeable teams. It's tough. It's true. It's very rare that I am rooting for Notre Dame Very rare. I'm rocking with the Irish. I don't really care County Court. Oh

As somebody with a Celtic cross my back go Irish It's true and yo daughter is a 0.0 percent chance that when I change the station at halftime that I go back to the game for the second half. I get it. I'll be watching some bullshit reality TV. It could be over really quick. I'm fine with that.

It could be up like 28-0. Yeah, that's the concern. That's the concern. Let's get out of here. Bye. Bye. Bye!
