I'm just staying up way too late. Just watching TV and stuff. Playing Helldivers? Playing Helldivers and stuff. This is all my fault. There's no reason. You on TikTok? Hey, dude, can you keep telling the two dudes in the studio that have two kids under three about how little sleep you're getting? Yeah, let me tell you. Talk to me when you have a four-month sleep regression.

Talk to me when you're like five-month-old and just straight up teething right now. I got smoked last night. Do you have a tooth coming in sleep regression. Yeah. Talk to me when you're like five-month-old and just straight up teething right now. Dude, drag him. I got smoked last night. Do you have a tooth coming in, dude? Nope. Did I say anything

about it this morning? No, because my wife bears the price. It seems like when I get a lack of sleep, I'm happy and having fun. Honestly, yeah, there are some of those mornings

when you just get to sleep and you're like, you know what? I don't have to go to work today. I get to go to work today. And then there's those other mornings, you know what? I don't have to go to work today. I get to go to work today. And then there's those other mornings when you're like, I don't have to go to work today. I get to go to work today.

I'm stuck in grind mode. Let the heavy hitters know. Y'all see the ratings for this Iowa LSU game? They're putting everyone to shame, dude. Let me guess, like 12.3 milli. Dude, you're spot on, dog. That's a good guess. What is it? 12.3. Yeah,, you're spot on, dog. That's a good guess. What is it?

12.3. Yeah, that's what I assumed it was going to be. I was watching that shit. Big old heater in my lip, just watching the girls go. Love it. No better way, man. I love ball. Kaitlyn Clark, man.

She got range. Dude, she's nice with it. She's sick with it, isn't she? She's silky. I'm more into the the women's final four at this point than i am the men's she can dish it out too man she's dropping dimes all over the court i feel toxic that i didn't do a women's bracket yeah i'm gonna start doing both moving forward the big content guy probably it's a different kind of bracket but yeah okay i'm gonna be honest my bracket's not doing well boys bro he busted yeah it's very busted dude i only made one as you know i didn't enter anywhere and uh yeah i'm about 38 right now i'm sorry man zero points left on the board. Unfortunately, my last remaining team,

the Dukies! They lost in the Elite Eight. Didn't work out for me. They got burned. I had some Houston fans reaching out about how they didn't like the Dukie bit. They seemed to only reach out after the game. Not before the game, not before the game regarding the bet.

They got unlucky, man. I was pulling for them. I like U of H. I got love for Houston. U of H, they've done nothing wrong to me. U of H? Yeah. I feel bad.

I feel like U of H in terms of when people talk about athletics in Texas, I feel like it's just like not talked about they lost on the Fluky shot back in the 80s why slam a jammer yeah the

who's the coach whatever Bob Knight no one knows it was a tough scene Riley why slam a jammer is a cool name it's a great name it's good Bob Knight. No one knows. Pat. It was a tough scene. Riley. Why Slammin' Jam is a cool name. It's a great name. It's good. It's no Fab Five.

Fab Five's goaded. No, they never won at all. Still, like, goaded nickname for a team. Okay. I saw a tweet the other day that was like, when you hear the phrase Big Three, who do you think of? Who do you think of? I say fuck the big three. It's only big me.

Big three in what? Anything. Will DeFreeze, Dave Roth, Dylan Chigory. No. When I hear big three, I immediately think of KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. But I feel like there's a lot of people that think of the Heat big three. You know what? I do, but only because of the Dallas connection.

Famously, Dirk kind of ended that whole deal for them. Dude, that's what's up. Greatest finals run of all time for an individual player. Deal with it. Dude, that step back fade away. Yeah, you know, it's tough. It's not a step back. Just a pure fade away.

One-legged. Yeah. Who does the merchant of death think is going to win the women's final four? Bro. Bro. Bro, where's Grinds in all this? She's a professional now, no? Yes, for a while, actually.

I've been out of the game, dude. I thought you'd follow her career pretty closely. No, man, not really. Making that shit up. Why? I don't know. What benefit do you have? It was an even trade for you two.

They paid off some of my contract. Yeah. Free up some cap space. That's off some of my contract. Yeah. Free up some cap space. That's nice. It's tough. I was in prison. Was he in a Supermax? Where do we keep dudes that are called the merchant of death?

I don't know. I feel like he should have been. I think everyone should have to spend one night in a Supermax. Just to feel alive? Just to know. Just to know. What would you do?

In the Supermax? Would you meditate? I would cry the whole time. It would be a lot more palatable knowing that you're going to go home the next day if you're just doing one night. Yeah, you just go to bed. Yeah, you got the boys just clanking on their fucking cells. But I feel like in Supermax, you don't have that.'s like the fucking you're so separated you're so separated from everybody yeah if it's anything you hear like ted kaczynski over there like dropping bars

i don't want to be in solitary but like you know how if like you're on like a trip too long with people like you get tired of them by the end of the trip like you probably get like that with your boys in jail there's probably a minute where you're like you know what should i just do something wild ass right now to go to solitary get away from these fucks for a couple days i don't think that's ever a thought that they have the hole scares me i don't want to go to the hole remember they made tim robbins go to the hole like a number of times josh hank yeah good movie what if you went to the hole and it was just like courtney love was just playing songs and you're like i'd be a bum i'd be like bummed out

could we get garbage i'd be screaming out hey siri just trying to get something new played what if you went to the hole and it was just brett's ai songs playing that would be that would be a good way to torture someone that's what the cia does with their black sites randy is there a way to block uh certain addresses on uh our wi-fi so people cannot visit certain websites to make certain ai generated songs beers in the garage that's the only like good thing that's come of it but like i'm really tired of hearing these ai-generated songs. And you put the parental locks on so that people can't get there.

Yeah. He's taken AI too far. He just texted us. He can hear us. I don't care. Did y'all see NFT Nick debunk the wild rumors about him and Diddy? No. What were the rumors?

I don't know. I missed this yesterday. But he has a vid. I just don't know if you even want to put any part of your brand in Diddy right now, even if you're going against allegations. Yeah. Probably just lay low. I was kind of really hoping that Diddy was actually on the private jet fleet in the United States.

That was going to be a fun thing if it was happening yeah we were gonna get him send the paw patrol to get him i no longer have i need a girl part two on every single playlist that i've made i've taken it off i'm glad you brought that. I know you just said you don't even bring it up if you need a debunker or something, but I did probably see Walk at a Field Party 2, I Need a Girl Part 2, back in like 2003 or something, 2001. I'm lost. Is that a Diddy song?

Featuring Loon. Yeah. Pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Give me a bar. Is real. I don't know. Okay okay will probably knows it how to be a man this is what i need okay still nothing but okay okay that's great okay yeah okay hey yesterday we did exactly

The world got younger today. Oh, man. The world's oldest man has passed away. 114 years old. That's a great run. Dave, can you pour some of your Celsius

down your pants as a tribute to our man? It appears he's died no teeth okay um didn't have to go it's hard to keep teeth for that long man straight up straight up those gums start to give way and what at what point does your jaw just say like yeah dude i ain't breaking down anything anymore you gotta hit a straw just eating that bread soup peddler smoothie diet hey play, play. We're doing liquids from now on. All right. Sounds great. Juan Vicente Perez Mora.

World's oldest man. Dead at 114. The secret to his longevity. Any guesses? Ooh. Did he eat like a bone-in ribeye every day? Athletic greens in the morning. I took a shot of booze every day.

Why do all of these stories come with one of those? Here's the thing. I just... Let's hear it. If a 113-year-old man's asking for a shot of booze, you're giving it to him. But every time you hand it over, you like is this the last one call me a cynic if you must but i feel like the booze daily didn't contribute to his longevity why okay so you're questioning his you're questioning his entire existence right now let's get some medical advice he's gonna be 115 next month

oh really he didn't make it huh nope born in uhhmm. Nope. So born in 1909, if math serves. What's his home country? Venezuela? You know, Dave? You've seen some shit. That had his gas in it. Venezuela. I know.

So I actually wanted to make some notes about his absolute drip. Yeah. Like, he's got that shit on right now. He does that old man shit, that gangster shit, where he pulls his pants up above his belly button. Oh and he tucks that blousey ass shirt in there this guy yeah this guy's fucking sick dude when he was r.i.p what was his poison i heard he was just eating the uh i heard he was eating the worm with every shot tequila you gotta think it's tequila, right?

What kind of hooch was he taking down? Yeah, that's what Dave meant, I think. I'm going to guess rum. He's giving rum with that blousy shirt. He is giving rum. Yeah, I could see him being on his tropical drink grind. I think he's just doing rum floaters in his smoothies, in his steak smoothies, his protein shakes. I don't know, man.

Maybe. I mean, here's the thing. If from the day we were born, we knew that the adults were taking one shot every day and it was just normalized, who knows? What if we started doing it? What if Sleepy Joe started doing it? Sleepy Joe might be doing it.

Maybe he did that before the state of the union and gave him a little juice he was fired up during that so too well what did they give him this dude probably didn't even do a shot every day his family's like we got to make up some kind of story you make you know sell it to the papers here you're just trying to make it more clickable what kind of accusations are you throwing out here just died yeah dylan i'm just saying man like these storylines are all they're all the same. It's like, oh, yeah, he enjoyed one drink every night. Okay, maybe.

Do you think? I mean, at what point did you just start giving him water? Are you hydrated enough, sir? Dude, he's probably hooked up to an IV, getting fluids. Who's the current big dog? Who's the oldest man in the world right now? The new oldest person?

Yeah, who's the oldest woman in the world? Person in the world. I'll look it up. Because like, I need to know now. How pumped are you? If you're that person,

if you're 113 right now and this dude dies, are you just like, let's go home? Just punching air like, what's fucking good? Yeah, right?

I don't know. Gotta say, man. I'd be chest pumping the the homies couldn't couldn't slide some collar stays in there no i think that adds to the drip though dude just saying no dude he's not going to an office anymore he's going up her dad he stopped doing that 70 years ago he's on some shit you don't even know about dude he's on his pioneer grind how many regime changes has this guy seen in a lot i don't know a lot about venezuelan politics but i i get the feeling that he's seen it all they've had a tough run i think how much how much meddling from the uh military industrial complex has this guy seen hard to say a lot of meddling yeah i really don't know

the answer to that one. Randy, do we not have an answer yet on who the current oldest person in the world is? According, I'm doing this straight off of Wikipedia. Maria Brynäs of Spain. She is 117 years old. And it says, Oh, no, no. That's not how you say it because it's Japanese. He's, Gia's burro. Oh, no, no, that's not how you say it

because it's Japanese. He's 112. How do you say it then? Give it a shot. You don't have to. Yeah. Don't do the voice. Okay,

so Maria's already been that dog. Yeah, she's the oldest person. Because she's the oldest person in the world. She's great. Dude, she's the oldest man.

I mean, how many, how many beers? Show player? What exactly one? Oh, hello. I didn't player? Exactly one. Oh. Hello. I didn't know she had it like that.

What's up, Maria Brañas? Maria Brañas. And this is... She's American-born. Wow. So we have some claim to that. She was born in San Francisco, 1907. You want to give that a shot

of how to pronounce that, Dave? That's the current oldest. Jisa Burrow Sanobi. That sounds good to me. So he's the current oldest living man? Apparently, yes. And the oldest ever,

this woman, 122 years old. You got to get to the point where you're like, I'm good. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't know about that. That's just too old. You got to get to the point where you're like, I'm good. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't know about that. That's just too old.

You know, G. Saburo, he looks okay. He looks okay. He doesn't look like he's doing a lot of moving. Not sure there's a lot of range of motion there for our man. He's chilling. He looks happy in life. Shout out to him. Shout out to his family. If you had to take a shot a day to stay alive right now what are you gonna go with like you have to take it every

single day or you die it's gotta be a shot just a straight up shot every day probably malort that's what i was gonna go with let you know you're alive or for net is that what we did with brett yeah we did did Malort with Randy, Fernette with Brett. That's right. Is Brett going to do Fernette after Cheesecake Factory? They're both disgusting. No, they're not. Fernette's is good.

I'm doing bourbon. I'm doing poppy. Where's my shot of poppy? Do it with no teeth. Yeah. Cover your teeth up. Where's my shot of Pepe? Yeah.

You're not very good at talking with no teeth. Yeah. I can't just take my teeth out, Will. It doesn't work like that. Or you can't. I can... Hey, I can take them out of my eye. Come here.

Okay. Okay. Hey. I don't know what you guys are doing this weekend but uh we'll get to this weekend in fun eventually but sally's gonna be out of town this weekend so if you guys want to come over and uh i've invited some other friends over too we're all gonna do powerpoint presentations on uh on what we do for a living does that sound like a fun time is this the crazy event you alluded to uh dave came in today and just immediately

said, we need to put this on the rundown. And I had the pleasure of telling Dave that, oh, I'd already put it on the rundown. Should have known. This is a gentleman or a group of friends, really, who has planned a night where they host power. They each put together a PowerPoint presentation of what they do for a living. And they all power they they each put together a powerpoint presentation of what they do for a living and they all present it to each other uh with full q a at the end just in case you have any lingering questions after the powerpoint and like there's a part of me that thinks this is kind of like a good idea because i don't know what half the people i hang out with do for a living but there's the other part of me that's like man this is on your nerd shit yeah i wouldn't want to attend uh this event but yeah i don't my friends i don't know like the ones

who have real jobs i don't know what they do i could probably teach a little something about what we do yeah and they could they they probably say the same thing about you yeah i don't know what any of my friends truly do like day-to-day basis i don't know who's working from home i don't know who's going to offices i don't even know if they're still in the same like industry that they were 10 years ago do i care kind of yeah i kind of i have a loose knowledge of what my friends do very loose i feel like all your friends are like landmen I have a loose knowledge of what my friends do. Very loose. I feel like all your friends are like landmen.

You've got those Texas job friends. Clay, no, you want to get Flounder on? Because he's got his little paws in like two different, two or three different ventures. You're saying Flounder's beak's pretty wet? Oh, yeah. It stays wet, man. Dude.

It's just sopping. If you followed followed him on instagram you'd be like oh he's uh he's a fisherman he's a professional fisherman yeah but also does he ever earn money doing that is he sponsoring some shit he's got some sponsors he's ever playing the or play in those tournaments and pay out? Yeah. Do you cash out? If he rips the right lips, yeah. Okay. Why don't you start doing,

like just start doing golden tea tournaments. You could be making legitimate cash. No, I need to get back on the grind though. I got to play every day. You need to move into an apartment that has a bar beneath it. Can we? That has golden tea so you can just be grinding there all the time you just buy one for the office i think the i think the returns would be pretty immediate if you just

started doing it all the time and you started actually entering competitions right like how much is the machine two grand they're a little bit more than that i feel like i feel like you could do some small like prize games you can keep the money that you win in non-tournament competitions. I'll cut Washed in. We need a cut. We need a taste on that. Yeah, you want to get your big sweat, too. You got to kick it up to the boss.

Of course. But if you want to keep your small money game money that you just do when you're at the bar, you can keep that. But if it's an official match with a tournament purse, then I think Washed needs to see a certain cut of that i miss just fucking working that trackball how nice of a machine do you need in order to get like in like fighting shape because i know we can't just order anything and expect you to be on point that unit that's three over from the left you can just buy that and mount it on something and hook it up to our tv so you don't need you don't have to buy like

the whole tv unit like arcade version version, right? So this one? But even that one's still, no, the one over to the left. Left. That. Three grand for that. Three grand. And that's just, yeah. Pays for itself.

That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. I know it is. I wasn't expecting these to be this much money. But I guess it makes sense. The full machine is 6,600. One thing to consider, our office isn't huge. So I'm just wondering how long it would take for that sound of Dylan just pounding ball to be like, all right.

Yeah, you might put it in here. We might have to put it in the – yeah, in here wouldn't be bad. We put it in the conference room. We don't really use that. Just saying, man. Can make a little side cash for the company. Bull and Acres has one. It's right down the street.

But I don't want to go just pump quarters in all day long. But you have a tangible skill that people have competitions for, and you're not cashing in on it. Can you imagine if, like, I know Flounder would fish just for the love of the game, but he knows he's got it like that. I know. If I dedicated some serious time to it, there's no question I could make money doing it. No one has ever even gotten close to beating you.

No. The first person who challenged me for money in the office, I beat him by 35 strokes. That's so embarrassing. Yeah. It was ugly. One of my first days at Grand X, a couple of guys came up and they were like real cocky. I just remember them walking out and being like, how did that go? And you're like, I beat him by like 24 strokes.

Yeah. Like, that's a lot of strokes. You were so good particularly, but like the general level of the people that played Golden Tee at Grand X were so good that I just said like, fuck it, I'm never playing. The machine was in the office since like 2012, 2013. Yeah, you guys had a bigger learning curve.

I was just living on that track ball, man. Is that where you started playing it? Yeah. Oh, can you imagine if you got invited at one of these parties you had to go up there and explain that you uh play cold yeah you go to bars and play golden tea yeah if you had to do this with a like a friend group that you weren't like suit you know your acquaintances but you got invited to this party would you just play a clip from the show? And if so, which one? Putting you on the spot here, cowboy.

When this here pod. I would play, I would do Pledge Boys, probably. That's probably my favorite. That's my favorite clip of the last year, for sure. You think that would really clear it up? They probably might have learned something about the business and how we actually make money, which I don't even know how we do, actually. And you're just like, no, check this out. No, this is a few jokes we've made.

Just do us a favor. You don't have to listen. Just subscribe. Yeah. Yeah, I would just tell everyone to take out their phones and then just subscribe and then just go sit down and say thank you. I don't think any of my high school buddies that I hang out with, I don't think any of them have ever listened to an episode. Yeah, I think it's very similar with a lot of my buddies, which I'm fine with. We went to San Diego together and there was a backer at the airport.

He came up and said hi to me and they were like, oh, so people like actually listen to your show. Like, yeah, that's how it works. Yeah. Typically, that's how. Yeah. You've been a very visible Internet person for, I mean, 15 years almost. This is 2011. Like they should know that people are going to recognize you at this point.

Yeah. I think there's still they still a little caught off guard by it that's funny i don't want to do this ever no i'm not i will not participate in in in this event do you want to do learning man hold on randy what did you say i want to but i've heard of these parties different not that you explain what you do. It's just like everyone gets a subject. You could do either something in history, or I saw one guy do why he likes goth girls and stuff. So it's like a comedy thing. Yeah, no, I think that's way more fun

if everyone presented on something random. Like if you all had a bunch of subjects in a hat, and then you pulled out, like, all right, next time that we're together, bring the PowerPoint on your subject that you got dave yeah what were you saying um same guy followed up he um he has a something else he participated in it's called learning man is it like burning man he said he had an epic weekend a super fun participatory conference in tahoe called Learning Man. They each made presentations

to share knowledge and skills outside of work. There were 30 presentations. People took them very seriously. Are they drinking during this? 30 presentations. Why are these people liking making presentations so much? These are probably, these people aren't like us.

These people are cut from a different cloth. Why don't these people just drink for fun? They do drink at these. That is worth noting. 30 presentations. No, thank you. Can you imagine the tech needs that people need at these things? Like, oh, like Sarah brought her laptop.

It only has the Apple connection. Does anyone have a dongle? Of course, Tad's got his Microsoft because he works in i-banking dongle it's a funny word this is man this is gonna be insulting let's hear it tony p and dc definitely participates in stuff like this he would he would do it one time for the experience but that's the thing about vibrant masculinity dave is that you say yes to a lot of things so that you can be a well-rounded individual yeah do you think he's done a hog reveal with davis clark yet you think they've done a double reveal yeah if they started an only fans it would go crazy locked in locked in dude locked in, dude. Let the heavy hitters know. Locked in. Let's go. Let the heavy hitters know.

Eight years? It's just a goaded feeling to leave sessions knowing that you got some stuff off your chest,

you worked through it, and you had an impartial party sitting there to just let you know how things go. That's right, man. If you're thinking of starting therapy, don't just listen to us. Just go give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online. It's designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

Squad is going out. Tonight's the night, boys. Squad is going out. We're all going to the Barton Creek Mall,

and we're going to hunker down and drink some 22-ounce draft beers at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Randy Trumbacki's four-year work anniversary. As we all know, there's a running bit online about the Cheesecake Factory cheesecake factory menu about how long it is and i have to say after trudging through it yesterday and today i still haven't seen everything on this menu they have a page here that says all categories and uh there it's there are quite a few categories on the menu to choose from well yeah between you know ice cream delights and glam burgers and skinny lious specialties, you have to separate these out, Dylan. I understand.

There's something for everybody. Make sure before we order, we sign up for our cheesecake rewards. Okay. Okay. To be honest, I would like to know what those rewards are. Why don't they just stick as a factory instead of actually serving dinner at it? Wouldn't it be easier if they were just a straight up factory? It seems like there's a lot of overhead with the restaurant.

Do you think they have an evil cheesecake maker who lives in the walls? It's the unknown. Possibly, yeah. If Randy shows up dressed like the unknown tonight, I'll be so fucking happy. Do you have it in you? What's the bit tonight, Randy? Are you a dog? I don't even know. No, you either know. If you don't know't even know you're no you you either know if

you don't know that means you're just taking days off now i'm telling you man that a lot of stuff is just the spur of the moment the uh the dangerous nights one that was like a day or two planned out but the denim that was spur of the moment wow for for red lobster what's the order of everyone showing up to dinner tonight i'm looking at their new menu items on their Instagram. He's got a fried chicken club salad that's looking pretty nasty. You're not getting a club salad tonight, David. You're not getting a fried chicken club salad. I don't trust the lettuce here.

No offense. I don't trust the lettuce at most restaurants, if I'm being honest. Because you got Rio one time? Yeah, dude. Menu's this big. How do we know that it's good at everything? So I've isolated

a couple things that i think i'm gonna entertain tonight you guys ready for this yeah uh you guys familiar with uh steak diane medallions of steak covered in black peppercorns and a rich mushroom wine sauce served with mashed potatoes and grilled onions i am dying to try that sounds really good there's there's nothing in that that sounds bad to me every single thing on that sounds great um but what if i told you that you could get the steak diane with an equal serving of scomps would that entertain you dylan if i told you that you get scomps with diane i i don't know about cheesecake factory scamps though why how is that any different than olive garden yeah last and like like a couple years ago we did straight up we did straight up red lobster and i ate three different kinds of shrimp all in one sitting red lobster by the way

absolutely exceeded my expectations yeah dude the food was good they know they know what to do to make their food incredible and that's just use as much butter as possible. Are we going to get the most expensive bottle of wine again? That's probably like only 40 bucks. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. My wild card today is going to be the Jamaican black pepper chicken and shrimp. They have Jamaican black pepper chicken.

They have Jamaican black pepper shrimp, but you can also get a combo plate of the Jamaican black pepper chicken and shrimp. Okay. Okay. What if I told you that it was served with rice, black beans, plantains, and marinated pineapple? I kind of wish their breakfast menu was available this evening. Is it not?

They've got the vibe of a restaurant that would do all-day breakfast. The brunch section says it's only Saturdays and Sundays until 2 o'clock, I think. Oh, man. I'm sorry, dude. I know you were looking forward to that brulee French toast. Dave's getting that skinny-licious salad. Dude, Dave's got the piccata up right now Oh, man. I'm sorry, dude. I know you were looking forward to that brulee French toast. Dave's getting that skinny licious salad. Dude, Dave's got the piccata up right now. I'm going piccata, dude.

Piccata didn't look good. I looked at the picture. Did you see a different picture of the piccata? Because I'm looking right now. Oh, okay. Eggs and almonds are served all day. If you go there and get an omelet for dinner, I'm going to be very confused.

I love breakfast for dinner, man. I don't think I've been to a cheesecake factory in probably over 20 years i'm genuinely excited especially now that i know steak diane exists i was a teenager when i went last the okc cheesecake factory was a big player in my time there i would have brought dates here all the time back in the day if we had one available to us when i was in my 20s like i think i would have made a living here oh by the way randy has invited us to show up early to walk around the mall for a little bit if y'all want to if you want to just you know unfortunately respect i might i might just show up for the meal only yeah i also noticed that they do take

reservations so maybe maybe should call them up i think we can walk in yeah my babysitter's showing up really early tonight for some reason, and so I need to skedaddle out of the house, which means that I have no excuses to not walk the mall with Randy. No offense, Randy. That's not something I want to do at all. We're going to Abercrombie. Can we get segues?

Sure. Do they have segues to rent in the mall? Just be a mall walker for a little bit. I do need to take a dip into Aeropostale. You're going to dip in there i'm gonna throw a big old hooter hooter yeah what's the what's the chewing tobacco policy at a cheesecake factory give me a cup i need a spitter for your big old fucking horseshoe how off pudding would that be do they have pudding do you have to ask if they have it it's just how is it presented that's right can we click on the

cheesecake and specialty desserts please because i would like to know what type of cheesecakes we have in play i feel like there's gonna be some stuff that's gonna knock our socks off i love just a a classic piece of cheesecake i don't need i don't need some kind of crazy like variations of it. Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake? I would eat the Oreo. I'd eat the Oreo. It looks like there's full Oreos in there, dude. White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.

Oh, here we go. Look at that, Dylan. This is peanut butter chocolate cake. That sounds too rich, man. Shut up. That sounds too rich. I love cheesecake. so you're choosing poor yeah me my choose rich basic like new york south cheesecake is is an elite dessert i don't need to i don't need to dress it up with oreos and cheddar scroll down keep scrolling oh celebration

cheesecake we are celebrating okay okay okay i mean, if they make this many cheesecakes, can they all be good? Mango Key Lime Cheesecake. It's in the name of the place. You got to think they know what they're doing. Do you think the waiter will tell us, like, no, this one's the one? Yeah, our cheesecake is actually trash. Don't get it. No, they wouldn't say that, dude. You can't say that if you work there.

I've had the Key Lime Cheesecake. If I found out that somebody was saying that, if I found out the waiter was saying that, I'd go full Karen and tell the manager and be like, you don't want this person on your team. They're anti-cheesecake. You know what? I might just get cannoli. Get a cannoli, Dave. I'll split it with you.

Tiramisu cheesecake? It's not called a cannoli factory. Dumbass. Oh, I don't know if they have it. Damn. That's okay. We'll see. Randy, I'm genuinely excited. So am I. I haven't even looked at the cocktails yet. So I was looking at the know if they have it damn that's okay we'll see rady i'm genuinely excited so am i so am i i got i haven't looked at the cocktails yet i was so i was looking at the uh the small plates that's that's where the appetizers it's pretty much appetizers the brussies look strong i'm looking i'm looking at the chicken taquitos the avocado tacos stuffed mushrooms nope no tacos we're not

doing the tacos look how that's presented we're not doing the tacos. Look how that's presented. We're not doing the tacos, Randy. The tacos are not going to our table. We don't do taco stands. This was available when I looked it up at the beginning episode, the cheeseburger spring rolls. Oh, they sold out today. Cheese Louie's. Cheeseburger spring rolls.

Yeah, there's an embargo. Don't even get excited because you can't eat more. Spring Texas embargo. Can't get the rolls. Supply chain issues, a bottleneck. Sure,'s tough it's high level stuff you wouldn't get it yeah i think i got it that's high level okay i'll see you hey i'll meet you in the back of spencer's dylan hey what do you guys think the crispy fried cheese is i don't want to know. I bet it's just really generic white cheese.

Okay. TBH, I'd eat it. Just give me the mozzarella. Oh, Fontina, dude. Fontina. This will be fun, Randy. What's their cocktail menu looking like? I haven't seen that.

Do they actually have one? It's not great for anyone but Randy. They have cocktails at home. Is this what they want? No, you have to do the Google image search for the menu of the cocktails. I think it varies. Let's do cocktails at home. You think they make a good martini?

Oh, these are bottled cocktails. I don't. You don't think they make a good martini? Let's order one just to see if you get the bartender introduction. The seal of approval? Just a thank you. I think I'm going to go with the Cheesecake Factory Private Reserve Pinot Grigio. It's from their private reserve.

I can't wait. And a lot of privates are. They need to relax. Why is this so big on drinks to go? No one eats there? That's a good question. I bet it's a big to-go place. Yeah.

Meet me at the mall. Is it a red flag that it's at the mall? No. Yeah. No, you want your Cheesecake Factory at the mall. You can access it from the outside. You want it from the mall. Yeah, you can.

That's what I said. Oh. But? But it's still at the mall. I'm going to bring my skateboard to the mall. Yeah. I'm going to do some grinding. I'm going to bring a pocket full of quarters and find an arcade. You should.

You could probably turn that into a lot of money if you start sandbagging at the... Came up recently. Is there a Tilt at that mall? I don't believe so. Fuck. Tilt. They do have espresso, so we might be able to do some espresso martinis. Do you know they make the sweetest espresso

martini in America? Dude, if they had a cheesecake flavored espresso martini, that's something I would entertain. Okay. Just saying. Just saying. If the sweetness is going to come from a cheesecake standpoint, then I'm good with that. I got some research to do before I'm ready to go in there with my order.

I'll get a PDF. I'll put together a PowerPoint for the menu. Take you guys through it around lunch today. See, that. I got some research to do before I'm ready to go in there with my order. Yep. I'll get a PDF. I'll put together a PowerPoint for the menu. Take you guys through it around lunch today. See, that would be a funny one to put. Yeah. Yeah.

Right on cheese cake. What's the brown bread at Winky's Saucy? Dude, the brown bread. I'm real proud of it. I don't know. I'm excited for it though. Everyone said do it.

Load up. I mean, okay. Yep. Brown bread. Right off the bat. If you look at their Instagram, which is a little life hack for you, go check out the restaurant's Instagram before you go there.

See if there's any specials. Dude, what's their engagement rate looking like with the million followers? You got a million? Let's check out all this. Oh, not great. Not great. They're real proud of the brown bread. Yeah, I mean.

It's got a standalone post, a static post. It looks bomb. I'll eat anything with butter on it. The Longhorn Steakhouse bread was pretty good. The Cheddar Bay Biscuits had red lobster were pretty good too. So Cheesecake Factory's got to come correct. Yeah, are you sneaky a bread guy? I'm all about that bread.

Time to wrap this baby up. Bit Madness Final Four Championship Round. You throw the record books out when these teams meet that's what i say brother i have you understand what he's saying the records don't matter explain i don't feel like you don't get that i don't explain it jeez how long we've been doing this for anyone new to the program welcome Great to have you here. Bit Madness is our version of March Madness. 64 bits all combined together, ranked by our listeners, created by our listeners, into a bracket that's been filled out, yes, by you guessed it, the listeners. And now today we're going to determine the champions of the final four and the ultimate champion of 2024's bit madness previous

bit madness champions wilmons el glissadente wow cosmo bartender do we need to make a mount rushmore of champions probably we've never had a repeat champion do we need to have like some sort of hall of fame zackard did zackard win zackard won well i'm trying to think if wilmonds actually did win or if gliss beat wilmonds i could see gliss beating wilmonds for sure i can't see that happening that's just one of those years where you know either champion's gonna feel good so we we agree that el gliss is not going to take the whole thing down, right? Are you trying to collude before voting today?

I haven't even thought about today's matchup, so I'm going to try to figure this out. That's understood, though, right? I also have sent you guys a list of all the bracket names on Slack, if you want, in the Circling Back channel. We have some good ones. My favorite one is

where was it? So good he remembered it. Nice. Chicken bricotta. Brick-cotta. Chicken bricotta's good. It's good. It's good.

It's good. I might use that tonight. I like it. Might use that tonight. That's what Brett's gonna get. I wish Brett was playing music right now so I could tell a story about him. I don't want him to come in here

and try to go against him. Just tell him. Just tell him quietly. So we get to come in here and try to go quietly so we get to vegas right and uh oh man i feel like a little kid watching mtv spring break right now yeah we went to vegas and he went and put on his vegas outfit and like vegas bread is a whole different beast if you thought he was appropriate in jackson hall like he was just wearing like black denim and stuff like just trying to look like hardcore black denim yeah was wearing a t-shirt that said las vegas what were the shoes uh i don't remember i think converse his white those white fucking converse

yeah dude he was going in dude i want to throw those things i was just like vegas i was not expecting vegas brett to pop out you throw like a gold chain on and shit too i'd wait you no but yeah he had like a like a vintage style t on and shit looks like he was about to go to a rock show huh yeah yeah he didn't wear those wear those converts when he was meeting people right the the business associates uh hard to say it's gotta get rid of those hard to say i'm not a converse guy myself but i'm not anti they're fine they're high top i don't they don't look good on me. They don't suit my legs. My legs are too stocky for converse. You gotta be a skinny boy. Converse or it's a skinny play.

Okay. I've said it before. If I could swap legs with Ross Boland right now, I would do it. That would look weird. Really? I like skinny.

Yeah, I'd rather have skinny legs. How are you gonna support your upper body? My upper body's not that like built or anything. It's famously pretty small. They gotta be skinny-licious. Oh, okay. Yeah. It's famously pretty small. They got to be skinny-licious. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Fat weighs less than muscle, so it's a pretty lightweight upper body. Okay. Fair enough. Hey, should we do a bit madness final four? Mm. Ooh, okay. On the left side of the bracket, we've got number three el glissadente 2024 against another number three

our friend timon on instagram let's go out this weekend there's a crazy event happening wow wrong thing bro let's go out this weekend there's a crazy event happening wow that's a fun bit man we've had a good time with timon sounds like you're kind of trying to put your thumb on the scale why are you campaigning right now it's a good bit dude you're campaigning but not for the thing that you should be campaigning for which isn't in itself a campaignable it's just funny i just don't if if just i'm just being realistic here if el gozadente 2024 cannot win bit madness how's it supposed to win a nationwide election here's the thing will it's

not going to win a nationwide election it's not coming in last you don't have to win the popular vote sometimes sometimes getting if you get a certain percentage of the vote that just gives your party more representation in the future yeah i'm looking at a bracket name here that's MAGA, Make America Gliss Again. Is that your new? Already in use. Yeah, be careful. He might get litigious.

Let's go out this weekend. That's fun. Okay, you're voting for that? Clearly. Hmm. Oh, no. One of y'all is going to pass the onus on to the other. Let's just get it out of the way okay okay

hmm really stop cackling behind the the the hip the hmm they've done every single time hmm um crap i have crud i don't know yeah i mean yeah so let's go out this weekend oh good vote certainly viable glissadente 20 do we have word if glissadente has one we it has definitely two years ago yes right here 2021 right you can see right there on the hat yeah um i'll go ahead and take i'll take the pedigrees there glissadente for me for me i get it um after you have a chance to do the right thing here after winning in 2021 the celebrations after were otherworldly. No, there were none.

There were. And then they had to rebuild. There was no fanfare. El Glisade, they had to rebuild. What are you talking about? They had to rebuild and rebuild and rebuild. And seeing them reach the precipice again has honestly been a beautiful thing. My issue with Let's Go Out this weekend is that Timon doesn't back it up.

He's usually in the gym. He's doing bible study you know he's usually well it's not having he's usually having really good confrontational conversations with his friends about their demons he's doing power points with the boys like how am i supposed to i don't know like if he was actually going out this weekend to crazy events like that changes things but i just think that el glissadente 2024 is more of a blue blood in this respect so i have to go el glissadente 2024 goes on to the championship round hi porn what why that's he just laid it out i've got three hot dogs sitting at home right now and i'm thinking about making two of them for lunch today you're gonna eat double barrel you're gonna eat glizzy here's the new glizz guy

double dylan's no dude i'm just i have just bought so into the cause i've bought so in on the other side of the bracket we've got two number twos against each other a couple mondos here number two pledge voice versus number two pledge you might be a little confused right now this is the clip you gotta send your friends should we just play the clip here's the thing it's the only reason that pledge has made it this far is because of pledge voice i agree i agree it literally brought it to the final four well pledge was a game changer of an idea and whoever thought of that originally i can't remember that far back who thought of it they must have a huge fucking brain like it never gets to where it needs to be in terms of this tournament if pledge voice does

not immediately follow up that genius idea from the big brain in the room oh are you gonna lose in the final four oh you're gonna make it all the way and then- You're going home? You're going to quit now? You guys are going to have the most difficult time voting Elglaz over Pledge Voice. Are you going to- Stop assuming. Are you going to drop out right before Spiff could die? Right before the best part of the year, you're going to drop out? Did your parents send you to rehab?

Did they say we made you binge drink too much? Did we blackball your brother? Because he's too GDI. Are you on academic probation because we took all your Scantrons and pissed on them? We didn't let you go to class all week? Are you still having to bring your own Scantron? That shit was lame. There's got to be something better.

You can't provide a Scantron? You guys had to bring your own Scantron? Some of them did. I mean. And you had to buy those blue books to write into. How rampant was the clicking in thing? That was right my senior year. iClicker?

Yeah. Because that was like one class a semester for me. Never did that. We would do quizzes, and you could see what the people in front of you were clicking so it's real easy to cheat people were cheating all the time see i would we would we would cheat in the class but when you when it was just an attendance play the the friends that i had in class were all goody two-shoes and none of them would would help me out what kind of friend is that it was all my it was all my girlfriend's uh sorority sisters like there were three of them and they were just very by the book

and they were like no no we can't do that that's like come on dude help me out dude so i sent a pledge by one clicking me in this morning bro that was a real thing like they would make it would make you go like sign sign it go sign in yeah yeah it's bullshit i get it yeah i get it you should you should have to do that too. You should. You should have to do that. Did you show up to the test with the number three pencil? Oh, did the scantron not pick up your answers? Oh no.

Oh geez. This is going to be unanimous, right? It's pledge voice, man. It's too strong. It's pledge with an L. Yeah. I found a hack with an L. Yeah. I found a hack the other day. You guys want to hear my hack that I found?

You saying Pledge reminded me. I was looking for some Goo Gone. You guys familiar with Goo Gone? I actually just bought some. Makes goo go away. Right. It doesn't work on sheets. Or socks, Dylan.

And so I couldn't find any and so I went to my I saw this bottle of stuff in my sink and have you have you guys saw this seen this spray stuff you just spray it on like a pan

that has something stuck on it and you let it sit there and it just takes it right off I have not seen it no it's not it's a version of soap but it's more of a it's more of an agro soap

I sprayed it on the google and thing and it went away way faster than google and could ever dream of what was it exactly i'll take a photo of it i'll send it to the squad the goo the oh the goo itself yeah what was the goo itself was the remnants of stickers on my laptop which if you're watching on youtube at youtube.com circling back you'll see right now that there are no stickers on my laptop. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Just saying.

Get creative out there. Good to know. Don't be afraid to get creative with your passions. Okay. That's what I'm saying here. Who wins, Gorilla Glue or Goo Gone? Knowing what I know now, Gorilla Glue. Gorilla Glue's goaded. It's so sick.

Just the bottle. Like, the bottle of Gorilla Glue is so sick the just the bottle like the bottle of gorilla glue is so sick it's a great logo if there's something jungle themed at walgreens versus something that's not i'm probably going jungle theme it's a fair point it's a great point somebody should get the gorilla glue tattoo well you can do that man you're the one talking tattoo game all the time odds you're too scared to get too scared to get permanent ink on your skin put it on your buttocks it's permanent dog it's not going away still there only like five people a week see it i'll get another one

i'll do another one bitch shut the fuck up Get shivery in old English across your back That'd be kind of tight actually Probably won't do that Championship round This is why they play the games everybody This is so easy though this one We've got A very good matchup

Numbers three El Glissadente 2024 Versus number two, the up and comer, Pledge Voice. Make a case against Pledge Voice or against El Glissadente right now, Dylan. I'll hear it. I'll hear it. There's no basis in the joke in the bit. I don't like hot dogs more than any other person i like them a very normal amount uh pledge voice on the other hand it's fresh it occurred less than 12 months ago as opposed to el glissadente it's fun we keep doing it we have a good time doing it

it's one of the hardest we've ever laughed during a segment before i think uh it's very strong the jokes just keep coming el glizidente like he's been there before it wasn't even funny when it happened honestly experience it's it's again it's a it's a joke with no basis whatsoever what do you say to the people out there chanting one more term right now at their desks there's there's not a soul in the world doing that. One more, Gliz. Not a soul. One more, Gliz. Plus, El Gliz was defeated last year.

By who? Do we know? Zockhart or some shit. They had an off year, man. I told you. It was a rebuilding time. It was a rebuilding time after 2021. It had its time in the sun. A lot of players entering the portal.

And it's over. It had its time under the heat lamp. It's over. On the roller. I do like roller hot dogs dang it'd be a real shame if for some reason gliss lost if somebody crying jordan gliss no please no i think dave is voting against if he said if big if pledge voice is so funny We get a lot of enjoyment out of it every single time it comes up. And for me, it is our champion this year. I'm voting officially for Pledge Voice, the two seed. Really?

And I fully expect you guys to follow suit. I'm worried about what Will's doing because he's getting into Ross Bullen, Grand X posture posture podcast posture oh he's just all the way down at his chair will doesn't want the onus he i he i think i think will really wants to vote pledge voice but he knows it's gonna it's gonna he knows he knows He knows the world is watching. El Glisadente is entertaining to me just as a concept. Explain. Like, standalone El Glisadente jokes don't make me laugh. But the overarching idea that for the last four years,

we have had a hot dog that is Dylan running for president. Why is it in Spanish? You know, to appeal to some voters, some would say. I just think it's a good, it's a really dumb bit. And it's gone so far that like it has to, if we make a Mount Rushmore of bits, like El Glizadente's head's going to be on there. It's going to be awesome.

Just chiseled into the stone. A hot dog head. But, like, Pledge Voice is having one of the best runs I've ever seen out of a bit. And it truly does

bring me joy every single time that we do it. Like, every single time we do it, I end up laughing. It's elite. You can't go through

your camera roll and find it and scroll by a Gliss pick a dylan glissadente pick and not laugh i disagree completely my only complaint about glissadente is that there's not more photoshop versions of it out there like i almost think we need to task somebody with just like hey we need a hundred different scenarios with dylan as a hot dog the way that photoshop makes my facial hair look is really off-putting as well i want like i want el gliz like listening to someone like a struggling you know somebody who's really going through it

like just like feeling their pain like out on the campaign trail knocking on doors real you know grassroots stuff campaign stuff just like huh yeah wow i'm gonna do something about that i'm gonna go and drain the swamp what's el glizadente where when he's knocking on doors drain the hot dog water kill your own look at this trying to kill your own people you're making a great case for el gliss right now i know will's gonna vote pledge voice i know it like he's it's all over his face what's your thought process right now dave where do you stand on pledge voice he loves it ten toes bows and toes i don't want to feed dylan's ego anymore he gets he's just becoming more and more narcissistic with el glissadente he loved he says

he hates it and it's like oh no don't do that oh but really he loves it he's already won he's had his time he's got a ring i'm going uh i'm going pledge voice let's go unfortunately it's pledge voice it was always pledge voice it was always going to be Pledge Voice. 2024 might be the year of Elglaz going and seeing what went wrong. Can I share that I'm just so proud of you guys? Keep looking up. Brandon, did you hook up some confetti? What's going on? Hit the button.

I'm so proud of y'all for putting that through. To be clear, there's never going to be a scenario where if pledge voice made the final that i was going to go against it even if el glissadente was there had something else gone up against el glissadente that wasn't pledge voice i cannot make any guarantees that it wasn't going to get my vote what about what if it was pledge pledge versus el glissadente it's not even close it's el glissadente every single time no No, you're calling in and conceding. Because if we're going to try to monetize the champion, which Pledge Voice is, in my opinion, completely unmonetizable.

Correct. If we were to actually try to do something to monetize it, El Glizadente is very monetizable compared to Pledge, where I don't know if we've got the right things in play. We need a polo with El el gliz just like right here no we don't no we don't a a roback with just american flags and hot dogs could probably sell to throw back in general you probably already have that okay okay dude we're trying to make money it's probably called like the nathans or something well let's just change it to the

let's tell them to change it for the to the Glissadente for like one day. It's good for copyright purposes. Do we have a president named Nathan? I don't think so. No, I think we did. Nathan's hot dogs, David. Nate. You want to see the run

that Pledge Voice went on here? There's got to be a Nathaniel. Nah. Oh. Pledge Voice took out the dumbumpsters. Yeah, what was the road to the championship like? The print is too small.

I can't... It took out in the first round the Dumb Cumpsters, then Carve, then Will's Aziz Voice. It's a blank play. And then Pledge. Yeah, had a good run.

It's really good. You took out Carve and then... There's some favorable matchups for Pledge voice, but it still would have gone through no matter what. I don't think so, dude. I think those are some hard-hitting ones. See, the Gliz, I think, had a harder road. Let's see how...

Yeah, but they pushed it through just for the bit of it. Yeah, Merchant of Death was a big one. That was a lot of people's sleeper. Gliz beat Will's 5-star review of the week then scampi then juxtaposition then merchant of death that's a that's a harder run yeah glitz was worn out by the time i got to the title game yeah yeah had some close calls down the down the stretch hey what a year what a year it was thank you to the backers who all participated thank you to anyone who voted to uh make this happen to anyone all participated. Thank you to anyone who voted to make this happen,

to anyone who seeded these, and to anyone who followed along, to anyone who listened. Thank you for having fun with us. And to the people who will definitely be clipping this segment and sending it to their friends who have never listened and explaining it in a PowerPoint presentation. Tell them there's a loading phase.

Right. And then explain that. Very important. Yep. Yep. Ooh. Let. Yep. Ooh. Let's ride. Let's go out this weekend.

There's a crazy event happening. I like to turn off. Road, road, road. There's a crazy event happening. Let's just go have fun and get going. Let's go. That's so bad. So bad it's good this weekend in fun of course is presented by our friends over at lucy if i seem like i was a little grumpy this morning that's because i'm out of my lucy david yeah

don't talk to dylan until he's had his morning Lucy. The good news is I purchased my four milligram apple ice breakers, and they will be arriving in the mail today, which I'm really excited for. Can you describe the difference between a breaker and a pouch? A pouch is your traditional nicotine pouch. It's just a pouch that you put in your upper lip. And a breaker, however, has a little flavor capsule in it that you crush. You bite down and crush to release that flavor. And it is really good, by the way.

The mint one is sort of like a breath freshener. They're awesome. Of course, they come in the gum as well. We were talking about the gum earlier. We need to re-up on gum. You can get a 2 milligram. Love it on the golf course. A 4 milligram, an 8 milligram, and a 12.

Fours are right in my wheelhouse. I love them. They get me dialed in, give me a little energy boost, make me laser focused. Really, really enjoy them. Locked in. Also come in mint, espresso, mango, and other flavors as well. Yeah, they do kind of lock you in, don't they? Mm-hmm.

I absolutely love them. They're nicotine, only nicotine, completely tobacco-free, of course. I took advantage of the subscription, actually. You save 15% if you do a subscription. It shows up every month. You can skip a delivery if you like. No commitment whatsoever. I love Lucy so much.

They've got him 7-hole right now, but they bounce around a little bit. around a little bit okay okay yeah hey they'll be thankful they put him there at some point he's gonna surpass the seven hole hitter yeah it's a very deep lineup there's no holes saturday i might come through to the freeze residence with the little man and uh what are we gonna do over there again i don't know i got uh i got some some yard people coming over early in the morning so you know that yard's gonna be absolutely bussing i'm gonna come check it out i haven't seen the crib yet my sunday's pretty open don't have a little man sunday uh no plans yet

I'll tell you how that's going to go. We're going to walk up. He's going to see the playground and we'll go, Hey, we did the playground after. So we're going to do practice, do a little game, go to the playground. It's going to be a real beating to get them off the
