All right, we're back circling back podcast bit madness sweet 16 elite a Bit Madness, Sweet 16, Elite 8,
Diaper Daddy's Baby, Dadoker,
My name's Will DeFries, to my left David Carter,
Bit Mad in it, just a bit mad.
Oh dude, I like what you're doing.
A bit, yeah.
He get on quite well.
Get it?
Hey, that's enough of that. Happy bit. Yeah. He get on
quite well. Get it. Hey,
that's enough of that. Happy to
be here. Happy to have you,
Dave. I wasn't talking to you.
I was looking at you though.
Okay. Thanks, Randy. It's fine.
Hi, Randy. Hi, Dave. Hey,
we're back. So back. Dude,
they're doing a bit. Dude, it's a bit. You're doing Dylan hates it.
Dylan Shivery.
What do I hate?
You just hate it.
You just you're a hater.
Hi, Dave. David.
Like the first round.
It lost its giving.
Oh, yeah, that is fine.
Anyway, I don't know if you guys saw bill.
The new circling back logo is getting quite a bit of love
on the Internet. Good. Good. It internet good good It's kind of gas. Thanks for a good friend Ricky prosper
I had the I had I had like a thought, you know during the redesign. What's your name? Oh, okay
Okay
Get it there. I just had a thought too, but I'll let you have your thought first
I asked Dylan at one point if it needed a third color,
like a complimentary color.
And then I realized that Dylan had no clue
what colors it even was.
I did follow up with a question.
I said, what do you have in mind?
I just.
I was like, oh, he's not the person to talk colors with.
It also looks just like green to me.
And then Randy said it's more blue than green.
And that kind of had my mind in a pretzel.
It is a blue green.
And we had had this debate before with me and Will,
whether it's more blue or more green.
And he was right.
It is slightly more green than it is blue,
but it is blue green.
I'm on the right side of history here.
I guess, I guess.
If you do a little eye dropper and Photoshop,
it tells you how red, how green, and how blue it is.
Oh, interesting.
What?
What?
That's crazy.
RGB, ever heard of it?
We knew that it wasn't blue
because when Randy did the droplet, it didn't go.
Dabadi, dabadi.
Dude, that's good.
It is good.
It didn't just start flipping over trash cans
and just going to town on them with drumsticks.
What's your favorite little backdrop design?
What's a better word for that?
Illustration.
The little illustrations that are in the logo.
What's your favorite one?
Here, here, let me bring it up.
Just real quick.
Yeah, bring it up, bring it up.
And right before you do that, I was thinking like,
I'm looking at this design here.
You know what it's given?
You know what it's given a little bit here?
What's it giving, Randy?
It's given a little Roeback design too.
Like we can, we can.
You're right.
Oh, okay.
That's a shirt design.
Okay.
I really like the cell phone.
That's better for everyone.
I don't know why I like the jalapeno pepper.
Dude, the agave is totally vibey.
Agave looks sick.
It's vibey, but I'm gonna have to go
with the Mexican martini.
Because you know I'd be putting them down on the reg.
You know, I didn't even make the connection
that the Longhorn was like a reference to like UT.
And people in the, I saw some people saying like,
oh yeah, UT, and I was like, oh man.
It's not a reference to UT.
It's a reference to the great state of Texas.
Yeah, that's more Texas than it is a university of Texas.
I just wanted to get you all on the record.
No, it's just, that's a tribute to a place
that I wasn't born in.
What you got here.
Soon as I could.
I heard that your parents put a little Texas soil
under your bed when you were born,
just so you were born on Texas soil.
Yeah, my dad threw a handful of Texas soil in my face
every night before going to sleep.
That's good, man.
That's why my sinuses are all jacked up.
Yeah, we could-
Cowboy had to vibe too.
Just on a rowback polo, that'd be sick.
That'd be sick.
Maybe reach out to the good people who are rowback.
Might be worth a conversation.
Might be worth a conversation.
Might be worth a conversation about it.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Talk about it.
We got a lot to confront today, boys.
That color would be good on Apollo, too.
Should Randy and I have had a beer at lunch today?
You had a beer?
No, I said should we have because we did not.
Where'd y'all go?
We went double barrel waters on them.
You know what?
Hydrate.
Those water cups are so big,
Matt's could learn a thing or two about that.
No, they unlearned a thing or two about that.
Yeah, Matt's used to have the big boys. Yeah, they used to have big boys filled with ice.
Where'd y'all go? Baker Street.
Yeah. We cheated on Kelly's Irish.
Whole squad just hydrated right now after all that water.
I feel like I asked this, is Baker Street Irish or English?
English.
English.
Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah, don't tell Kelly's.
Kelly's is not worried about Baker Street.
Baker Street has more of a Cheney vibe.
See, the best thing about Baker Street is leaving the inside of the restaurant
and going outside so you can avoid the just abysmal vibes.
And I will remind you once again, that is where they filmed the
tchotchke scene in Office Space.
It's also where I just ate an entire tray of fish and chips.
Back then it was called the alligator grill.
Okay.
And they changed it to obviously Chachkies for the movie.
It was the first place I had a drink in Austin, Texas.
Really?
My roommates just want to go get a beer and feel me out, I guess.
And that was the-
They did what to you?
That was the closest possible spot.
And so we just went and sat under that big ass tree with all those lights on it.
It's kind of a vibe back there.
Michael went and scoped out a wedding band there.
Oh, did he?
Yeah.
Baker Street, Dylan, you can-
Like a wedding band or like the band that plays
at your wedding?
Man, I don't know, which one do you think it is?
Maybe he met a jewelry guy there for a beer.
Yeah, he met a jeweler at Baker Street.
It was the Dan Band.
He met Jacob there.
Really?
Yeah, and then he met Jared at Kelly's.
Okay.
And then Kay.
Wow, hit the trio.
Baker Street, Dylan, you can actually do
the correct saxophone line for Baker Street
instead of saying it's Careless Whisper.
Go ahead.
Do, do, do, do, do, do.
There it is, now he's got it.
That's Jared.
Do, do, do, do, do.
Put that in the do you know it for the future please?
And see if Dylan can get it right.
Instead of, yeah.
Instead of careless whisper.
That's actually cool.
That's not careless whisper.
That's making strings.
Yes it is.
Can you just do saxophone?
Just do a saxophone section of do you know it?
I put jubil on there and all that.
Saxophones are sick.
More, more.
I call it the sycophone.
More songs these days
need instrument solos, not enough guitar solos and saxophone
and trumpet solos and in songs these days, real lot of brass
after Scott died.
Yeah, do do do do do do. Although wait, no, there was
like a comeback of Brad, right? I'm trying to think of like a Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do rap song, I'm going to be all over that shit. Oh yeah. You do any EDM remix and put a sax in there? I'm in.
Oh, Tropical House with some sax. Done.
Sexy sax.
Tropical Sax is a top three golf course playlist.
I play that for my family. So when we go to port A, we rent these golf carts and they have,
you can hook your phone up to the speaker system. I do Tropical Sax and they love it. Oh and they love it. It's the only time of year
they listen to it. Unfortunately, my golf partner does not enjoy tropical house and tropical sax.
You gotta find a new golf partner, brother. That's on you, brother. Dan Regester. He's not the biggest
fan of it. No. Dan put on Meek Mill one time on the golf course with me and I was like, Dan,
like I feel he's a Philly. I know what I was like, Dan, I get it. But like, are we doing Meek Mill one time on the golf course with me and I was like, Dan, like I feel he's a Philly. I know what I was like, Dan, I get it.
But like, are we doing Meek Mill right now?
Dan's almost, has the vibes of a guy
who doesn't listen to music.
Yeah, that's a great, great call.
Yeah, he doesn't actually like any music.
Yeah. Oh, no.
There hasn't been a good song in seven years.
Don't we know someone who doesn't listen to music
or know of someone who doesn't listen to music?
Oh yeah, former intern Steve Holt.
Yes, that's right.
I was the last one to leave the office besides him
to go to ACL with the entire company.
And I said, what's your plan?
When are you heading out?
And he goes, eh, not that into music.
That's the wildest take of all takes.
Make sure they lock up, man.
You have a key?
Imagine not liking music.
I get people that liking concerts.
Like it's a lot of people, a lot of effort,
you know, a lot of standing, expensive, et cetera.
But like just not liking music is,
it's an interesting vibe.
Preferring silence.
Yeah.
Maybe that's something to strive for.
Books on tape.
Yeah.
Should we do the sweet sax team? Oh, I think we
should. There it is. There it is. All right. Let's, let's get into it. Our number one matchup.
This is when the matchups get legitimately difficult. Number one,
Matt El Rancho's first number four, Vortex Bottles. Okay. Now that we're here and I'm looking at this,
Vortex bottles. Okay, now that we're here and I'm looking at this,
vortex bottle should not be a four seed.
Vortex bottles is giving like two, three maybe,
but no less than a two really.
Just saying, sorry to the listeners, but this is tough.
Well, while you guys figure that out,
let me see what some of our two seeds are.
I mean, I think the problem is that we have
some pretty strong two seeds are. I mean, I think the problem is that we have some pretty strong two seeds.
Yeah, they're two seeds, bro.
Yeah.
St. John's was a two seed.
They lost.
I watched that game.
It's one of the three games I've watched this March Madness.
Again, this two seed did go out to a 10 seed.
We'll get to that later.
Rainey, you have a Norton update to implement? No,orton update to I was getting I was holding alt for too long not sticky keys but
close to it I'm the king of sticky yes you are every single time Dave holds
that shift too long and just why are you holding shift so long wills shift
button is never using his keyboard since he does everything lowercase. No, I have to use it to unshift things
that are auto corrected.
I was writing, I wrote a tweet one time in all lowercase
and it auto corrected the I to be capital for, you know.
Obvious reasons, yeah.
And a former PGP writer asked me how much it infuriated me
that it auto corrected the capital I, and I said a lot
because there was two I's in that sentence.
And having one capitalized was just, no.
Here's a question for casing when it comes to songs,
as we were just talking about music songs.
It seems like a lot of people do all lowercase song titles
now, but then I was looking up turnstile for Do You Know It?
And it's all uppercase.
Would you rather a song be all lowercase
or all uppercase?
Lower.
Lower.
I hate that Kendrick does uppercase.
Turnstile does it too.
Yeah.
This country I didn't know, but yeah.
Kendrick has done it.
So typing in all lowercase,
while it gives lower effort,
you're actually giving more of an effort
because you have to go back and undo auto-correct.
It's actually really annoying. It's funny. More you know.
I'm locked down. I'm ready. I'm locked.
Start with Dave. He put vortex. Is that Glenn Paul?
Nope. Who's that? Who's that?
Okay. Big text.
Oh, see what happened to his shoulder. Big Tex is on fire. Vortex bottles. Oh, I was gonna say what happened to his shoulder, but he's on fire.
Vortex bottles.
It's a vortex bottle.
It shoots down your throat.
Why are these things running out of ink so quickly?
I don't get it.
Because you tried.
All right, let's see what you're doing.
I did Mattel Ranchos and I tried to draw the Mexican Martini from our new logo.
Mattel Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos, Mattel Ranchos. All right, Onus, big Onus will.
Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos, Metal Ranchos.
Always good.
Always good.
It's always good fam.
Metal Ranchos number one.
Honestly, the hats that got brought to the meetup
set it apart for me.
I legitimately have to adjust my speech every time
I pitch going to mass to someone. I have to make sure I don't say Matt El Rancho's. It does roll off the tongue for me now.
Saying Matt's El Rancho sounds less correct at this point.
Yep. Yep. Yep. That's the easier way. Just do it. Just say Matt's so you don't confuse it because
yeah, Matt El Rancho's. I know, but I'm more likely to say metals now should go to metals, metals. All right, number three versus number two here.
Number three, hard G soft G version number two, a frat Dave.
Fred Dave. Or as Fred Davis say a hard gamma versus soft gamma.
That's kind of funny that we're split on how to pronounce the G.
I think splitting the G did lose on the other side but. Should have had a Guinness
with a fish and chips today boys. I'm sure they have Guinness. Yeah they've got it.
They do it right. They do it correctly. They better. They've got the proper glasses.
What's the difference between an Irish pub and an English pub? Well Ireland and England are
different countries. But like are there actual parts of it that are like intentionally different?
Like I know, I read an article recently about Irish pubs and the characteristics of them, like the nooks that they have and etc.
That are intentional.
I do know there's a difference between an Irish breakfast and an English breakfast.
Yeah, I don't know. I couldn't tell you what it is though.
One doesn't have pudding
and one of them has like a different kind of sausage.
Irish doesn't have the pudding.
You know the difference between an Irish goodbye
and a Spanish goodbye?
What?
Irish goodbye, you just leave without telling anyone.
Spanish goodbye, say adios.
More Randy everyone, that's what you're getting.
God damn it, dude. I thought that was going to be a joke I could recycle in the future.
Nope.
It just didn't hit.
That was, I hope everyone sighed during that.
What do we got?
All right. Hard G versus, hard G soft G versus frat Dave. Let's see what Dylan put.
I tried to draw Dave with the mustache and the backwards cap.
It doesn't really look like him though.
He's wearing mouth tape.
Trying to breathe through my nose.
Yeah.
All right, Frat Dave for Dylan.
Let's see what Will put.
I know the song is, it ain't nothing but a G thing,
but I said it is a G thing.
It is a G thing.
All right, another onus for Davey.
G, G, G, G, G.
Is it what?
It's a unit. It's a unit?
It's a hard G.
Hard G.
Okay, it's a G unit.
That's a hard G.
It looks like it's coming out.
But you put it right in front of your face
so the people at home like, yeah.
Yeah, there you go folks.
He's trying to get a thumbnail in me.
I don't know.
I'm just so people can see.
All right, hard G, soft G.
Number three takes down Fred.
Whenever I see Hard G,
I get nervous that it's gonna be something racist.
It's a hard R.
Yeah, things like that.
And yeah, it kind of gives me a jump scare.
All right.
Moving on to the Dick Saloon area.
Number two, the juxtaposition.
Verse number 11, office neighbors ghosting happy hour, man,
that what a little Cinderella story you got going on there.
Otherwise like fairly chalky tournament, you know, yeah,
a little less chalky than the actual tournament. Am I right?
Ready to back you ladies and gentlemen, too much dip catch me on that. I'm going to go with Randy
to try to go a little bit off, you know. Rainier's kind of in his crank corner.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Locked.
Locked.
All right, let's see what you put there.
Bad neighbors.
I think I like the juxtaposition of this matchup,
but I think the neighbors need to get shamed
even more and more and more.
And I have no shame in doing that.
What's great is this is a completely different set
of neighbors than the ones that we have our current beef with. Just not the same. These are two separate.
And we still have those neighbors. The neighbors that did show up that we did like.
One thing we'll do is we'll start a beef. If there's one thing I need in life, it's a
beef with someone who exists close to me at all times. It kind of just gives me the edge I need
in life. Dave, let's see what you put. If you wrong us, I'm rocking with Jux.
Jux. All right. So this is another on. You wrong us. I'm rocking with Jux.
All right, so this is another onus.
Look, the Juxdoe, Juxdoe's had its run.
Wow, man.
Wow, ghosting.
Ghosting.
That is not good.
That is up next to your face.
That is not good for my bracket, I will tell you.
Ghosting.
All right, 11 takes down a two.
I just, I'm still very not over the ghosting it it still
Pisses me the fuck off because they were right there
They were right there. All they had to do was send an email 30 minutes before being like hey something came up
No, they sent the email after poke your head and hey guys something came they were just so underwater
They're putting out fires. Sure. They were come on. I don't know what the hell they do over there
As they're just like walking around.
Oh, this is tough right here.
Don't have a fat hooter versus number one seed, Hawks.
Four, throwing in a fat hooter, first number one, Hawks.
Locked.
Locked in. I can't take this moment of silence and give a shout out to everyone in northern Michigan
without power right now who probably can't listen to this podcast.
Stay safe.
Also to the 200 people affected by the outage in Austin today.
Yeah, 200 is a small, small amount of people. Yeah. 200 is a, it's. You got a small, small amount of people.
Yeah.
The smallest ever power outage happened in Austin today.
And in fact, just our office.
Essentially our office complex, the apartments next door and like the
little health center next door.
But the, the people across the way that might've pooped in our parking
ladder, at least took our spots.
They had power this morning and we didn't.
They did?
Yes.
I was like, how do you have power?
Or they have a generator.
They probably got our landlords to install a fucking generator for it. Yeah. On them. You should have negotiated it.
If we're giving electric shout outs too, I'm going to give a shout out too to shout out to
Crim who made our logo of Bit Madness. Is that right? It's very electric logo. So I meant to
give a shout out earlier. That Jag means business. I'm gonna have a Crim's Cup cocktail tonight to celebrate.
I'm gonna put on some Creme-O.
Our new sponsor.
Yeah.
I'm gonna.
Oh, is that a sponsor?
I'm gonna chase some Creme around.
Oh, that makes more sense.
I did not know what that box was for.
Yeah.
Chasing the Creme around.
Sorry, you gotta get the box back.
No man, Sally's been using that deodorant.
She loves it.
This shit smells good.
Yeah, dude, it's nice.
I really like the scent.
It's nice.
Dylan learned mid-pod how to pronounce this box.
Now I feel like an asshole because I thought about,
I was like, I don't know what this is for,
and I thought about bringing it in
and offering it to you guys, and I was smelling it,
and I was like, oh, I'm not giving this away.
The body wash should be in there.
I'm keeping this.
Body wash is heat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. I wanna give it a smell. You smell right, the heat. Body wash is heat. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I want to give it a smell.
You smell right?
You have it on right now, Dave?
Stay over there, bud.
No, I don't.
Chill out.
Oh, come on.
Sorry, man.
I'm going to give you a sniff later, Joe Biden style.
All right.
Let's see what you put.
You put Haas.
It's now a bottle of wine too.
It is.
We got to let the Haas talk.
All right.
Is Haas mainstream enough to post that
as like a meme on Washed?
I don't know.
I posted it from Circling Back earlier
and it didn't do numbers.
Get you some Haas Haas?
No.
That's the caption you should have used.
We need to go buy some Haas and do stuff with it.
That's true.
Let's see what you put there, Will.
It's like 30 bucks.
Number one, Haas.
Haas advances.
Haas across the board.
I mean, I said before the podcast
that my accountant literally sent me an email today
and referred to me as Haas with my wife CC'd on it.
My wife has asked me, so what's up with this Haas thing?
I know you guys say it a lot.
Like, is it a big thing?
Where did this come from?
Everybody's saying it.
And I had to explain to her where it came from.
And she did remember the hungover video of Randy.
It is quite the video. All right, let's move on to the rest of the Sweet 16. Number eight,
Nicky the Knife, verse number four, Dylan Coke jokes. Eight and a four. See, those are
all, that's a good match up right there.
That's tasty.
Two even numbers.
Great, great bits, both sides.
Eight divided by two is four.
Hey, Will, did you know that your brain per day works out the amount of calories about
which equates to about eight Oreos?
Speaking of eight.
I don't believe it.
I don't know if I do either but you know I don't believe that which
which Facebook group did you see that in this was on exactly five minutes today
we had to we had a fit we had to find a fun fact a fun interesting fact for each
other and apparently I thought it was on USA Today that the brain burns 400 to 500 calories per day.
I did the math to make the Oreo comparison.
That's a lot of cows.
That's a lot.
Why is my strain score nothing in the morning?
Maybe your brain does like 500.
Maybe.
If there are any women in neuroscience out there that want to prove me wrong, I'm well
to be proven wrong.
Randy found in the What Science Isn isn't telling you Facebook group.
Don't just or Randy just actively seeking a woman to prove him wrong.
It's like his kink. Yeah.
Prove me wrong. Prove me wrong. Come on.
Actually, RFK is brain worm eats eight Oreos a day.
Let's see what you put. Will.
Nicky the knife.
Me. It had to be Nicky the knife. I think the knife is electric.
All right. Would you put Dave?
You put where the cocaine.
That's a pretty good.
That's my mustache.
Oh, I guess pretty good.
I can tell that's telling.
OK. All right.
That's good. That's a really good nose.
Thank you. All right.
Have you been by the cook?
Jobs, boys.
Nicky, the knife.
Come on. Dave, I know you don't boys. Oh, Nicky the Knife. Come on.
Yeah, Dave, I know you don't want to vote for Nicky the Knife
because it's such a Dave bit, but elite.
It was elite.
You know, there were some people trying to talk me into going
to Randy's BJ party as Nicky the Knife.
It was me.
Do you know how old that would get?
Did you not listen to Brett and I talk the whole night? Yeah. You know how old that would get? Did you not listen to Brett and I talk the whole night?
Yeah. You know how old that got? At least you kind of, I watched you, you kind of went in and out of
it, especially when the night progressed. Brett, Brett held on strong. Brett wants to be Tripp that
we were talking about that. He is legit having like actual real conversations about like the company
and other stuff. Brett is just responding as Tri trip Taylor. I'm like, okay, well, I was in the backyard like alone with him. He didn't. He still didn't bring characters. I do. It's just me and you. Yeah, like I'm not going to tell anybody the Adderall.
Oh, that's great. Shouts the trip. All right. Number three, hungry verse number two, Lutz Apso's.
Hungry.
Three and a two here.
Pretty chalk.
I always mix up hungry with hungies.
Okay.
There's something there Mmm hungies
Didn't you say your nose was hungry earlier
For cocaine. Yeah, I don't remember saying dude. It's got knocked out of tournament. It's dead. It's dead. Not dead, dude
They got some they got some new recruits coming in. I don't think so. That's me and I'll money that they're throwing around
They're not rebuilding, they're reloading.
Okay.
All right, you seem eager.
Well, let's see what you put.
Obviously, got to ride with my fucking Lutes and my Apsos.
Apsos, et cetera.
It's always gonna be the Lutes and the Apsos.
Let's see what Lutes for Dave and then Dylan.
Shout out to the backer who sent me the Lutz coffee mug.
Oh, I need to touch that thing to love very much.
I like Blaine's idea of like everybody gets it.
Everybody in the group text gets it for like one night like the Stanley.
Yeah.
Let us drink one single cup of Bing Bong from it.
All right.
All right.
Number 10, Ren Fair Randy versus number 11 backers, PGP bit. This is 10 and 11
into the sweet 16 like that. You don't see that often.
No, you don't. Thanks, Randy.
Number 10, run fair, Randy versus number 11 backer PGP bits.
The biggest mistake I ever made in life
was pointing out to the PGP audience
that instead of complaining about not having a forum,
that Reddit exists.
And the ripple effects from that have just been vast.
I love how there are people on the Circling Back subreddit
who still ask for me to open the forums
while they're posting on the forum.
No, no, no.
There's still something to be open there though.
The forums got shut down because of pornography, correct?
Among other things, but that was about 80% of it, yeah.
They just wouldn't stop.
And me saying, hey guys, please stop,
just added fuel to the fire.
So it was a battle that I was never going to win.
Did you bookmark anything?
We had like a gay porn Gif next to like an advertisement that
someone was paying for. It became problematic. That makes sense. You know what I mean? Yeah,
I get it. I get it. I get it. Damn it. What Dave? Sorry, you'll know when I... Oh, I get it. Okay.
I can't remember. I can't remember. First night of September.
Dave's really putting in some effort.
I'm excited to see what it's going to be.
A joust scene of some sort.
Or it's going to be a PGP.
No.
Okay, we're all waiting, Dave.
I was trying to remember the old, like the original PGP Logos.
Tired man, the tired guy. Tired guy. T All right, guy hit his head on a desk, right? I see what we'll put
Put our pro square problems and same our backers. All right, there are 11 moves on
there was one the other day where the original poster just simply said I
Think I'm in the wrong place.
And someone just said, nope,
you're right where you need to be.
You're right where you are, huh?
All right, I think this is the last matchup.
Of the 16th.
All right, number five, pants veers,
verse number one, pledge voice.
Did you get beer on your pants?
You get a little beer in your pants. Oh
Well, were you gonna drink that beer then I put it down my pants, oh sorry
Can I say something about pledges
That's in the pizza wedge. Yeah. Yeah
would be a very
Inexpensive way to do a new promotion if you're Domino's and you have like delivery people.
Like we're instituting this new pledge
that allows everything to sit whatever.
Honestly, you could probably just make flaps
on your pizza boxes and call it pledge technology.
Oh, you could have it like,
you could have it fold out like the iPad.
Yeah.
You know, have you seen the iPad cases
that fold into like the iPad? Yeah. You know, have you seen the iPad cases that fold into like the little triangle? Yeah, I might be like 1% more inclined to order from you if I know
that it's going to be level throughout the entire delivery. That seems like a bit Domino's
might entertain. Right? Yeah. They've been fairly innovative. They've got the pizza tracker.
Everybody loves a pizza tracker. Sally loves pizza tracker. I think it's bullshit, but
I do love it. It tracks your pizza. I don't think Eric is really putting my pizza in the oven right when it tells me there's a sensor
I don't I don't think there is they put on really they put a chip in it
Like they give the jab that has all the microchips so that they can yeah, they can track
Oh, yeah, yeah
They can do surgery on a fucking grape and you're questioning whether or not they know if a pizza is going the other
Don't when you order a big sausage pizza. Do you track it? Like do you and they'll order a big sausage pizza? Okay, you're tracking packages, aren't you?
We just get that a segment. That was a segment
Baggages so that make the red old segments we. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's break down the, uh, the new Beatles cast.
It's a movie.
Oh yeah. Aren't they each getting like a,
isn't it? Tom Holland, uh, Jack Black,
the rock, uh, the rock and the rocks playing John Lennon.
And then the rock. And then the rock. And then the rock. And then the rock. Isn't it Tom Holland, Jack Black, the Rock, and Kevin Hart?
Oh, is this a joke?
Okay, sorry.
I thought I saw something that each Beatles getting like its own movie, like a full length.
I think they are.
I think they actually are.
I don't know how it's going to work.
There's no way it's gonna work.
No one's gonna watch the George Harrison one.
Oh, see that's, if you were a ball knower, you'd say the opposite.
I don't know why, but I feel like you would.
Okay.
It's the Ringo one that's gonna make, huh?
Will it be?
Alright, let's see what you put. Well, for plans first.
I put Pwedge.
Alright, Pwedge.
I put Pwedge voice.
You put Pwedge voice. Let's see what
Dave put.
He put Pledge. All right.
Onus time. Pledge.
You got to change your pants.
You know, because of the Pants
Beers. You could have done a better sentence
display though. Like that wasn't
that good.
You could have said like, oh,
did I bust your blacket? My boat's in. All right. Like you could have said like, oh, did I bust your whack it?
My boat's in, all right.
That's what really matters.
All right, that moves on.
Did I bust your whack it?
All right, let's move on to match,
unless you guys wanna take a quick break here,
we are moving on to lead eight.
Why don't you do an ad read?
Yeah, do it.
Do an ad read.
Today's episode of, here, hold on,
let me switch over to my camera over here.
Today is brought to you by Metal Ranchos.
If you want some chicken enchiladas and a Mexican martini,
check out Metal Ranchos located on South Lamar.
Dylan, you've been to Metal Ranchos before?
I'll tell you what, they don't need any actual advertising.
Yeah.
We're doing just fine.
Stop going to Matt's.
Went there the other day at five o'clock
and it was, people were pouring into the parking lot.
It was insane.
Out of what?
The martini shaker?
Oh.
Out of what?
What are we at?
At parking lot, they needed to just scrap it
and redo the whole thing.
They were probably all there
because they thought you and Alex Jones
were gonna be doing a podcast together.
What if they just put a little parking garage in there?
Like took out the back part and that was a little garage.
Just like a little three, four story.
People are parking, it's like, you know how a,
you know, a Jeep dealerships,
when they have the Jeep that's like perched up on it.
Like, yeah, we will on a rock or something.
Oh yeah.
That's what a people get crazy.
Oh, the parking lot looks like.
Sunday night there, I've learned, is very popular.
If the weather's nice, Sunday evening is a...
Oh, it's the day where it's difficult.
You've never seen a car get towed out of there though?
I haven't.
Park however the fuck you want.
I did see a woman driving a Tahoe back over one of those curbs
that she had to park on and the bumper got,
I think I told this, bumper got caught on the curb
and ripped it off and she was so embarrassed
she drove off and left the bumper on the ground.
I get it, I get it.
So her guy had to go back and get that fucking bumper.
Yes.
I was like, you see it here, just come back in at least like, I'm only taking it and scrapped it.
Dylan always says, never leave a bump behind.
That's true.
I've heard you say, you thought we'd never do them again because
it lost, but that's wrong.
It's actually the opposite.
It's a funny tournament.
They're going to come back next year, even stronger looking to win it.
At all.
They're going to dump some money into the portal, buddy.
He's called circling and Matt El Ranchos.
Matt El Ranchos, Matt El Ranchos, Matt El Ranchos,
Matt El Ranchos.
Tell them Dave sent you.
Not moving on.
Now that we've finished that, let's move on to the Elite Eight.
All right, number one, Matt El Ranchos verse number three, hard G soft G.
Metal ranchos verse hard G soft G.
This is when I feel like a lot of onus is going to be thrown around.
We've got a lot of bonuses today.
I think this is take I think everyone's drawing.
Yeah.
Watch this on YouTube.
Watch some drawing to some some art. I haven't been to mass in a couple weeks. What I just, did some art.
I haven't been to mass in a couple of weeks. What I just drew is not good.
I'm just gonna tell you right now.
And we were talking about it before the episode today.
Next episode of this will be the final four
in the championship, of course,
but we're gonna have a little bit more.
So it won't be a quick episode.
It won't be like the longest,
but there'll be some more fun there
surrounding bit madness So tune in next time. All right, Dylan. Let's see what you put. This is a Tahoe driving away
Leaving a bumper behind at the Mattel Ranch's parking lot
Looks just like a Tahoe. It does doesn't it? Is there a chance she didn't know?
No, it was very loud and she like she slammed on the brakes and was like
doing this there's two positions she didn't know.
Alright, Matt O'Ranchos for Dylan. Let's see what uh, well let's just see what he put.
Elite eight okay Matt O'Ranchos, what does that say? I can't read it from all the way.
Always good. Always good.
Always good, you put it all in.
They say it's always good.
Always good, so they moved on, but was it a sweep?
Chips and salsa.
Chips and salsa, it's very actually kind of difficult
to draw from.
I like those chips, man.
Those are good looking chips.
They're pointy.
Which one do you take in first?
They look a little more Dorito-y.
Remember, their chips,
Doritos are half of a tortilla chips.
They're half of a tortilla each.
They're semi-circles. That's true. a tortilla eats. Semi-circles, yeah.
That is a great point.
I should've, yeah.
Y'all been saltin' lately?
You got salt in your chips lately?
No, I just roll with it.
No, Dylan's worried about sodium.
Yeah, too much sodium.
You're at Matt's.
You'll be bloated, man.
You're at Matt's.
Dude, if you're eating any bites of the Bob, you're going to have an absolute salt bomb
in your stomach.
This is the guy who went to Twin Peaks and ordered a salad.
They have a sneaky good salad. And then he who went to Twin Peaks and ordered a salad. That is true.
They have a sneaky good salad.
And then he came out of the bathroom
and then ordered another salad.
Oh, like tossing salad.
All right.
You see the joke there though?
Come on, man.
That's vulgar.
It is fucking vulgar.
I don't think you get it.
All right, number 11, office neighbors ghosting happy hour
verse number one, Haas.
Get your happy hour there, Haas.
A lot of booze drinks weren't had at that happy hour.
Just to hung over Randy or in Blue Moon, Twin Peaks,
then just fucking dying.
And after one beer, it like triggered it for him.
Yeah, it was just me getting so, it was that,
and me just the tightness.
The adrenaline rush of having to do something
with a deadline.
And then yeah, the-
And then the dump.
The just the-
Adrenaline dump.
How hard it was to just edit that out of office stuff
on that laptop, on that computer, on that table.
It was just, it just beat me down.
Yeah.
Almost ended it all right there.
That's when peaks.
Oh no, don't end it all.
Which peak would you have jumped off of?
Probably Jessica.
All right.
Let's see what you put, Will.
Oh, he put Haas. Oh, that's a nice way to put it. That's super clever. That's an interesting negative.
I don't feel like my creative vision was totally seen through, but I tried. No, that looks dope.
Hey, I bet that's pretty good, but I think mine's just a little better.
Oh, you drew a smiley face in the O of Haas and Haas.
It's Haas, dude. All right. I'm Haas coded.
That means that in the final four,
we have,
Metal Ranchers, Hoss, two one seeds.
Shock, shock.
In a real tourney.
I don't like that final four though.
That's hard.
I ignore the number next to the bet, man.
I do too, I go on five.
Some people, you know,
the backers know how to see things.
Just out of Washington, did a good job for that one.
All right.
Oh, that's a tough one.
Nicky the Knife, verse number two, Lutz Apsos.
The number one on this one went down early.
Outround Blankway went down in the second round.
What'd it go down to? Nicky the Knife? Nicky the Knife, he doesn't take any prisoners. Real Cinderella story. early, my out round blank way went down in the second round.
What'd it go down to?
Nicky the Knife?
Nicky the Knife, he doesn't take any prisoners.
It's a real Cinderella story.
No.
You gotta be careful around him.
I know a girl named Cinderella.
That's what we called her.
She was the belle of the ball.
I wanna do it, but I just-
Making money, making money hand over money. Making money hand over fist.
Making money hand over fist.
That's a great saying.
I don't quite get it, but it's a great thing.
Yeah.
Like so much money is going into your hand
that you can put your in your fist.
You can like, where does that come from?
I don't know, I'm gonna look it up while Dave,
while Dave continues to draw
or whatever he's doing over there, hand over fist.
Or is there like a motion you do with like a hammer
that you're hand over fist?
You guys are laughing, but these are real wise guys, okay?
These guys wouldn't plan around
and they would make a money hand over fist, you see?
Yeah, that's the thing.
What'd you discover there, Randall? I never there's one thing that I trust. Not at all is Google's
AI. Yeah, at all. But it's saying it could come from a
nautical practice of climbing a rope and doing hand over hand.
But I don't
it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. No one's ever made
that much money climbing a rope. Can you traditionally Google
something? Yeah.
ever made that much money climbing a rope. Can you traditionally Google something?
Yeah.
Wow.
Right?
Whoa.
It's the same thing.
I'm sorry.
No, but like it just gives you the AI first.
Yeah, it's just the first thing.
But how do you do like, how do you revert to the Google?
Google.
You don't have to, you just scroll down.
It's just the next result.
Keep scrolling.
Oh, okay.
Technology T.
Like all the questions,
it'll pop up a bunch of questions of them too,
and that's all AI answered too. Yeah, you gotta be careful out there. Dude, Nikki was in the questions, it'll pop up a bunch of questions and that's all AI answered too.
Yeah, you gotta be careful out there. Dude, Nikki was in the pen in the clink and then got out and
all of a sudden Google changed. He's like, what the fuck is AI? Everything AI this AI that.
I was looking for some AI-oli sauce.
I have to change my vote. What, Randy? Okay, I guess. Randy froze.
Yeah, Randy just glitched out.
I was trying to read it, the thing out there.
Okay, this is what they're saying. A lot of terms come,
like sayings come from nautical history, but they're saying this
thing I have here says it's nautical,
that it comes from climbing up a rope,
doing hand over fist,
and then that turned into just making progress in general,
which turned into making money.
Okay.
It just being like progressing.
Not the best saying.
It's not inspiring me to use it more.
I liked it better before I knew its origin.
Yeah, I thought it was people trying to shove money
and so much money's going at your fist that you can cover with your hand and it's still that's what I always envisioned
Yeah, just a hand like
Yeah
I got a hundred little cash instead. It's this
He's miming why are you doing this is paul mccartney he's miming
If paul mccartney were to climb a rope in gym class, oh
According to this, do you know where mind your P's and Q's comes from?
You'll enjoy this talking about what we're talking about. It may have, it says it may have,
but anyways come from English pubs and taverns in the 17th century. Bar bartenders would tell you how
to watch your drinks or your pints in your courts, your P's and Q's. Mind your P's and Q's. Oh,
I like that. But it says it may have may have all these origins of sayings are always it
may have come from it's sick to order a court of beer. Yeah, yeah, that's dope. I would like to do
that sometimes a lot of beer tea comes in pints. I'm getting one. You should know that Dylan Lord
the Rings. Okay. The Hobbits, Marion Pippen.
All right.
Let's see what you put Dave or Nikki, the knife versus lutes and absos.
Absolute.
It's a vodka.
It's a bottle of absolute vodka.
That's a handle too.
You drew a jug.
All right.
Lutes.
Well, absolutes, lutes.
All right, lutes moves on.
Number two.
It's tough matchup, but lutes is only too much real estate
in the brain.
I had a good life.
What are you gonna do?
I mean, Nikki.
All right.
As of right now, metal ranchos,
haus and lutes and absos,
this is just what is so easy to stick in your brain.
Like it's just what has changed.
Makes for a great bit.
All right.
Last matchup of the day.
Number 11, backers PGP bits verse number one, Pledge Voice.
Oh.
Hmm.
Oh man.
Backers PGP bits verse verse number one, pledge voice.
It's gonna be huge.
Huge.
It's PGP, not PCP, Dylan.
I'm crying, I'm gonna change my vote.
PGP.
Post-grad problems, if you will.
Well, isn't there a thing on the website
where if you clicked something,
it would actually make the guy slam his head on the desk.
Do you remember this?
That sounds familiar.
I feel like there was like, if you like,
maybe it was the app, if you like refresh the app,
he would slam his head on the desk.
It was actually a pretty good little detail.
When my friend, our friend, Travis Dalrymple,
he started fratdaddy.com.
This is way before TFM even existed.
When you went to the homepage of the website,
this is back when computers had like disc trays.
The disc tray would pop out
and it would say, set your natty down.
It was like a cup holder.
It's true.
It's absolutely true.
It's a fact.
It's a little code.
It was so funny.
Does fratdaddy.com still exist?
I don't think so. You can find it on the Wayback Machine though. I'm pretty sure.
Wait, so it would send a command to your computer to open up?
It would open the disk tray of your computer. It's like 2003.
That's a frat. I swear to God.
It was really funny. That's pretty good.
That's frat. It's fucking frat is what it is.
All right. Number 11, backer PGP bits. First number one, pledge voice. It's fucking frat is what it is. All right.
Number 11 backer PGP bits.
First number one pledge voice.
Let's see what that's Dave.
Actually the real sorry to interject.
I was the real origin of Scott Griffo.
Like it documented his stuff hunting thing.
There's like he was frat daddy of the month or something.
He was Fred daddy of the month.
Can he never updated it?
So he was right at Friday the month like four years.
He was that was the joke. Yeah, he was still frat daddy of the month, cause he never updated it. So he was right at Fred daddy of the month for like four years. That was the joke.
He was still Fred daddy of the month,
like four years running.
It'd be funny if you only update the month.
He was not the actual page.
I think Stribs made it one time.
They went through like three of them
and then they stopped updating it after Griffo.
There was some sick pic of him with like his collar
kind of fucked up and he was like smoking to say,
yes, I remember he looked real fucked up. That's great frat daddy of the
month. Right daddy. All right. Let's see what you put this I'm
gonna just warn you guys this is gonna be just a really low
effort low delivery. Is that it's a bird's eye view of your
golf bag and for some reason the only club in your golf bag is
a pitching wedge. Oh god. okay. Okay. I see it.
It's real poor.
Yeah.
Took me a sec there.
Yeah.
All right.
So Dave's vote doesn't count today.
Why?
It wasn't a good picture.
Anyways, let's see what Dave put.
He put pledge voice.
All right. Pledge.
Pledge voice.
That would look good on a dad hat.
Pledge voice.
And just see what you put.
It was a Cinderella story. PG GP. It came to an end. All right.
Pledge voice moves on. All right. That that is final for
today. The final four. We got metal ranchos first. Hoss first.
Lutz. Apso's. Luton Apso's first pledge voice. I'm scared for
what could happen if Hoss goes up against Lutz.
These are some power players.
They are power players, dude.
That's tough.
Power players.
See how it plays out.
Yeah, we'll see.
We'll see.
We'll see there, all.
We'll see there.
Shall we get out of here, all?
I'm gonna hop on the way back machine,
see if I can find that shit.
Go way back.
I go back.
I go back. Kenny Chesney. It's beautiful. Kenny Chesney. I'm gonna go see you I go back.
Kenny Chesney.
It's beautiful.
Kenny Chesney.
I'm gonna go see you in the Sphere.
I am gonna see you in the Sphere.
I am, me too.
I'm very, very excited.
I can't wait.
You know how excited I am?
Very excited.
No shoes nation?
No shoes nation.
Where are your shoes?
Are you wearing shoes to the concert?
I will be wearing shoes to the concert.
There's a group of people at the Dead Sphere shows
not wearing shoes on the GA. I have to, it's grossed me out a little bit.
That's bad.
Not the best.
You gotta watch those when you get home.
Not the best.
All right.
Bye-bye.
Bye. Thanks for watching guys!
