all right we're back circling back podcast it's monday my name is a little freeze to my right david ruff you're putting emphasis on weird parts of words these days. That's his M.O. He always does that. Yeah. It weirds me out. You're doing it right out of the gates, though. Yeah.

So, yeah, hey, thanks for having me back on. Always. For sure, dude. Love doing the pod. Yeah, you're a really good, you're like one of my favorite guests to have on this podcast. I'm the young, you know, if you look only at our new logo, I'm clearly the youngest guy on this podcast. You are. You're Party Dave in the logo.

I party harder than both of y'all. I got that backward hat drip. Dylan. Whoever made that was very kind to you. Oh, those are my guys. It's not whoever made that. It's our boy, Alfonso. Alfonso.

I'm sorry. That's my guy. I'm sorry, Alfonso. I do enjoy the logo quite a bit uh people keep saying i'm i look really old in it i don't necessarily agree i have a line under my eye that i i think you guys don't have it might have something to do with it and of course people are going in on my beard a lot well you did hit him up on the side and say, can you fill my beard in a lot? That's not true.

I did not do that. But hey, I'm glad to be here. Okay. I've been really sick, as you guys know. And to those who came to Eisenhower's on Friday and were expecting to see me there, I'm really sorry. I was in a bad way, very bad way. You know, did you cut any weight while you were sick? Did I what?

Did you cut any weight? Yeah. Do you look like fucking lean as hell right now? I went to the gym yesterday to sweat out anything I had left in me, any fever I had left in me. I sat in the sauna, actually. Do we know if that works? I don't know if that works, but I figured it's not going to hurt.

I felt about the same afterwards. I saw Klein, our friend intern Klein, recommending that to you, and I was wondering where the science was back then. Oh, you jumped all over it. I did lose some weight. That's something I'm going to jump all over. You had to see that coming. I did lose some weight.

I lost about six pounds. Did you rehydrate properly after? Of course I did. What do you hydrate with when you're sick? I went real heavy on orange Gatorade over the weekend. Zero? No sugar? I went regular Gatorade, Dave.

Okay, just be careful. Gross, dude. Yeah, I know. Lots of water. I usually go liquid IV, personally. Lots of Theraflu. I drink lots of Theraflu. Dude, Theraflu hits you hard.

Yeah, that stuff is disgusting, but it helps. Doesn't bother me at bother me that's the stuff you you heat up yes also has some liquid iv did you do any uh toddies you making hot toddies no no i did not but yeah for like three days straight i was just laying in bed could barely lift my head off the pillow it was bad feel free to edit this out but i'm gonna just give dylan props because even though he didn't go to eisenhower's he still managed to pull some numbers explain what you mean dave that's all i'm gonna say there's someone someone who was at the event a young lady she was well i'm not gonna i'm not gonna say what this person how they identified bi or? She was a young lady. Okay, yeah.

I'll pull the curtain back. She said, can I give you my number to give to Dylan? Yeah. And I said, okay. I guess so. Only you, dude. Only you.

No one's doing that except for me. And then I said, well, you know, I took it a step further. I was like, well, can I hit that man with that handle i mean you know did you get the handle yeah why didn't i get the handle honestly because i didn't hit it you're spoken for this could be no i'm not saying for me this could be dylan's like future wife we don't know if she's listening to this shouts to you i won't say a name i don't remember the name no offense i could a name. I don't remember the name. No offense. I could use a first name. Don't use the first name.

Okay. Don't use the first name. We're not here to sell people out. Okay. A lot of people had theories as to where you were. Okay. Let me say this. Let me guess.

Let me guess. It wasn't a lot of people. It was literally every single person I talked to. He's at the trade-out house. As I was doing damage control for Dylan. No, I'm kidding. No, I was incredibly sick. He was.

It was a bad weekend. I tried to give an honest look to every single person that I told, like, hey, Dylan's sick. It felt fake. They're like, oh, he's sick. They're like, oh. Yeah, so I tried to look at everybody. I was like, no, he's really sick. Thank you.

I really tried to explain it, and still people were just like, yeah, I'm sure. Something I realized when we do events like this, and thank you again to everybody who came in town, even if you already had plans to be in Austin and you decided to come by you still matter just as much it made me realize that we might have I know we don't have the biggest fan base

but we might have the most we might have the most hilarious there's so many funny people dude I spent I mean I'm not kidding. We arrived shortly after 7. And I was there, which is... Well, we can't say why we were late.

We were late. And we... I legitimately stood in the bar area until 1 a.m. Just talking to backers. You were on a lot of Vyvanse, though. I know I missed a good time. I missed a good time. I hate it.

I got really tired at the end. So if I shut down in front of everybody, I'm sorry. I am a notorious event panicker, and I had this fear that we were going to get there and we weren't going to be able to get in, or we were going to get in and there was going to be a huge line and people who came in town or people who just wanted to go weren't going to be able to get in or we were going to get in and there was going to be a huge line and people who came in town or people who just wanted to go weren't going to be able to get in but ice and ours was awesome to us shout out to mike shout out to the entire staff for uh not you know pouring

drinks in my face when i asked for an l dave they all they knew what they were making it was great uh yeah and uh they were very accommodating. But man, you know, the guy who talked to us entirely in our own bits or country lyrics was just something else. Yeah. That happened? I had about 10 conversations and he would just pop up out of nowhere and start a conversation. Start a conversation, and then I would realize about two seconds in that he was either doing a country boy will bit, or he was setting me up for a come on man, or had to do it to him.

What a guy. What's this fella's name? His name's Christian. Christian, shouts to you, buddy. We had a lot of San Antonio friends there. Yeah, I got... Heavy Metal City. Hey, were people asking about me? Yeah.

A lot? You got a number, so don't worry about me like a lot everybody you got a number so don't worry about it yeah everybody they're missing me everyone asked about you man that's nice I love you guys

it was a good time it was like a perfect amount of people like good it was not an overwhelming amount and it was about 200 people

backers always turn up we still got to I felt like I got to chill with everybody it was the perfect amount to talk to everybody except for I don't know

if he's listening but pete hart our buddy from our old pgp buddy every time i saw him i would like how you know he's like six foot eight i would give him a head nod and then i would get sidetracked talking to somebody else and i never actually got to talk to him if you're someone that i actually knew from like my life and i didn't just meet you that night i probably never talked to you with that thing unless you were were J-Bone. Like, I had people that reached out to me and they're like, like that I know from Austin. They're like, hey, sorry, I didn't make it. And I was like, honestly, it was probably good you didn't make it because I was talking

to backers the entire time. Like, I would have ignored you. If you're a friend, you were second priority that night. You had to talk to the squad. We backed the backers last night. Yeah. Friday night. Whatever.

It was a good time. Can I make a proclamation? Yeah, please. I'm going to go on record, and I'm going to say that Friday's episode on Patreon was our best listener voicemail episode yet. Really? In my opinion. I'm really glad you say that, because I was not thinking that.

I thought it was awesome. I thought it was kind of a little slow paced actually I thought it was great okay good good you were probably getting on that sick train early

oh I was I was not feeling great during that episode no I had I thought it was awesome what's funny is I went back and listened I could hear it in your voice

but when we were recording I didn't even know you had anything wrong with you really you didn't sound bad at all I had that I think I'm gonna get sick soon feeling you know I know you're anything wrong with you. Really? You didn't sound bad at all. I had that, I think I'm going to get sick soon feeling. I know what you're talking about.

Like you're not sick yet, but you think it's coming. If you haven't already, you think it's what-ing? Coming. Oh my God. We're just about to get to that. What? Just wait. Oh.

If you haven't already, go sign up on Patreon. Patreon.com slash Juggling Back Podcast. It hits different. It does. It's ad free. Also, we have some extra shirts left over. And I can pretty much guarantee that after we list the extra shirts on Patreon, they will sell out within three minutes. It will be immediate.

So apologies, but it's just the leftovers that we had that we held back. It's in the range of 30 shirts, I think, right? I think it's less than that. Less than that. It's going to be a quick sellout. So shouts if you get one, apologies if you don't, but we'll have some stuff in the future for you. Are we going to put our new logo on a t-shirt?

Yeah, we're going to have to. Because I want to wear my face around. Our boy Alfonso. Nobody wears our Touching Base logo shirt more than Dylan. That's true. Touching Base is our previous podcast. Dylan is always rocking that. My goal is for someone to be like, wait, is that you on the shirt that you're wearing on your back? I would be like, yeah, but it hasn't happened yet.

Alfonso, who made the actual logo and who did some other branding stuff for us, he did offer to help us create a shirt out of this. So keep an eye out for us. He did offer to help us create a shirt out of this. So keep an eye out for that. Also, go follow alfonzoruiz.ad It's not.ad. It's.artdirector. But go follow that on Instagram.

I'm very confused. Say it again. alfonzoruiz.ad artdirector Oh, that's an Instagram handle. Yes, and not a URL. Correct. You know what's funny?

The very first version of our logo, the Touching Base logo, that is, it was just our faces. Yeah. And no one had a beard. Then we had to update it with your beard. Now we have to update it with your beard. And now the third iteration, two of us are bearded. Well, now we need to update it with my buzz, my head, my number four. Yeah, but you have a...

Well, you got a cap on now. Yeah got it you got your hat man yeah it looks like you got good flow into that hat too well you know there's tricks too when you're wearing a backward cap there's only the real ones know what i'm talking about by the real ones i mean guys who are thinning they know there's some there's some tricks you can pull up the definition for real ones yeah a lot of people like our logo some people don't like it um that's weird there's some tricks you can pull. Is that the definition for real ones? Yeah. A lot of people like our logo. Some people don't like it. That's weird. There's people who don't like it?

I really don't. You do look a lot like the, is it Ameritrade? Is that the commercial? Yes, it is. You look a lot like that guy. Well, yeah. Do you want to know why, Dylan? Because he and I look very similar in real life. No, I know.

But that's him. Someone said you look like a, was it a psychiatrist? Someone said a tenured professor at the university that Dylan walks around. That's him. Someone said you look like a... Was it a psychiatrist? Someone said a tenured professor at the university that Dylan walks around. That's perfect. That's perfect. And like... So like your professor... I actually don't...

Dave looks like the class menace in that lecture. I don't wear my glasses nearly as much anymore. He's a kid doing... Doing armpit farts. Doing armpit farts. Yeah, you look like Paperboy. Dave's jeweling on the back row. I got my feet propped up and I'm throwing a paper airplane across the...

I don't wear my glasses as much as I used to. Excuse me. They're not as much of a staple of my wardrobe as they are because I don't edit anymore. I don't read thousands of words a day. It's funny to picture Will being the professor and Dave just sitting there causing trouble. What are they called when you take the straw? That was always fun. What was that called?

And you blow the paper? Yeah. I don't know. Spitwads. Did you ever use to take a straw? Are you talking about a spitball or are you talking about where you leave half of the cover on and you're just throwing it?

No, I'm talking about where you actually put of the cover on and you're just moaning? No, no, I'm talking about where you actually put, you take the cover of the straw, you ball it up and moisten it. That's a spitball. That's a trash move. It's a spitball. You never spitballed? I did once when I was a kid at a restaurant

and my dad, like there's a TV. I never did it at restaurants. I only did it in the cafeteria. I stuck it to a TV and my sister told on me and I got in a lot of trouble. It's funny. David. I respect restaurants.

It's not happening. I definitely did it at school, which I mean, I apologize to all the people that worked in the cafeteria. That was on us. I got actually kicked out of the UIL baseball my sophomore year. I was a pitcher. I was a starting pitcher. And they kicked me out.

They caught me doctoring the ball a couple of times. And then they caught me throwing the spitter. you could not hit it i hate you ended up having to get tommy johns after that but i don't think a spitball is technically an illegal pitch well if you're spitting on it like the way i was because it's not a foreign substance no this was like this was spit like i was drinking like bang energy and then spitting on it dude what ball the ball it was like a knuckleball but like imagine a knuckle ball it's going you know 80 to 85 miles an hour I had to I was impossible to hit I was playing fetch with Rosie yesterday and I uh I didn't have my chuck it with me is this gonna be a real story yeah okay and I what do you mean my arm I

did I gave like I don't know three really good long tosses for me, which aren't long. And I was like, shit, my shoulder's like really sore right now. Yeah. It's amazing how like shitty I am at that. Dude, remember that rock I threw in the Bahamas? Dude, has it landed yet? Unbelievable.

Has it landed yet? No. Like, okay, nevermind. Just remind me of something I want to say that I can't say on the podcast right now. Let's talk about our friends over at Early Bird CBD. Please. I'm not picking up on this joke, but nothing. I can't tell the joke.

No, no, no. There's something I wanted to just break some news. Oh, shit. This guy on Twitter, at Shane Dawson, turns out he did not fuck his cat. Dude, what happened last night? What happened last night? Well, I don't really know.

So I saw our buddy Ted in Pittsburgh. He quote tweeted it and said, can someone explain the back story here? Someone responded, I don't know how accurate this is, but apparently he's on some kind of podcast. And on said podcast, he mentions like, humping his cat's stomach, and then getting off on the cat, or

something like that. And then people, I guess, called him out for it. He's like, no, no, no, it didn't happen. That, according to some random person on Twitter, I have no idea. He kept on saying like he went legit big boy Vi

yeah with this tweet how many what's he looking at right now 16.5k RTs 152k likes do you want me to

just read the tweet yes please please don't take this out of context can you read it in a Ted Cruz voice so people don't think it's you

I will alter my voice I will still pay someone can cut this clip it's you saying that you didn't fuck your cat i'm gonna just i'm gonna god dang it i didn't f my cat i didn't see on my cat i didn't put my d anywhere near my cat i've never done anything weird with my cats i promised myself i wasn't going to make apology videos after last year's thing so i'm just trying to be as short and honest as possible with this

um there's more it's a thread i don't think this is the one that people are really like uh wait a minute low-key the funniest part of this is that something has happened before he's like i'm not gonna do another apology video dude did you watch what happened before. He's like, I'm not going to do another apology video. Dude, did you watch this? Like, what happened before? I watched the apology video he referenced last night. What was it? I forget. It was so bad. I was like already falling asleep at this point. This guy is going to take a lot of L's for the next week.

The best response was someone, I don't know who this is, Keith Buckley on Twitter. He says, hey, as someone who didn't know anything about you before, but now definitely thinks you effed and came on your cat, can I ask what this is all about? Yep, that was the response that I saw that made me laugh really hard. That was the one where I was like, that's exactly what I think 99% of the people want to say. Yeah.

Can you pinpoint anything you've ever said on this podcast that you wish you hadn't said? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is it as bad as what this guy said? No. Are you kidding? No.

I've never fabricated a story for the podcast. I haven't either. I've said a couple things, but nothing that I said was like, nothing that I regret saying was outrageous. It was more like, oh, I wish I didn't mention this person. Like, they probably didn't want that mentioned. Yeah. But I've gotten pretty good about that. What are we doing?

I made a stupid joke one time that rubbed at least one person the wrong way, and they let me know about it on Twitter. Just one time? Well, probably more than that, but one in particular. It wasn't even, it was harmless. All right, well, what's the joke? You don't have to say it. No, I won't say it. Because I really don't remember it. It wasn't even, it was harmless. All right, well, what's the joke? You don't have to say it. No, I won't say it. Because I really don't remember it.

It couldn't have been that bad. Well, funny you mention this, because we actually cut a bunch of clips of what things you've said, Dylan, that you might regret. Come on, man. That would be an ultimate. That would be fucked up. That would be a huge pwnage. I did get asked last night, I was out to dinner with Sally's family, and her dad asked me

if I ever get worried about talking about certain things. I told him no. Well, luckily we just talked about fajitas and shit. I kind of wish I hadn't. Okay. Remember when we were doing our previous iteration of this podcast, Touching Base? I think we did some. The company, the parent company did layoffs right around them.

Yeah. And it was kind of a really, really big deal. And I think we recorded the next day. We had to. And I tried to issue like a statement that wasn't written and I was just kind of freestyling. And I remember as I was saying it, I can only say so much. But I remember being like, this isn't, I'm not saying this well. Yeah.

There's a lot of uhs and you knows and it was clear that I wasn't completely comfortable doing it yeah I wish I had handled that in a different way but I don't

yeah I can't I can't do I have to have the serious stuff written out in front of me I can't do it solo I'm a freestyle king so I thought I could do it but I learned my lesson

what I do know is I've never said anything to the effect of that I've banged a cat that guy definitely banged a cat though i kind of want to listen to said podcast and see what exactly he said i'm not giving him those numbers don't are you sure you don't want to maybe talk about like i don't know like certain way uh our friends who are ladies wear their hair yeah like. Like maybe that's something you might regret. No. I don't know.

Speaking of cats, are you sure you don't want to like maybe tell us the name of your cat? Don't make me triple down on the middle part thing. No, I have no apologies for that. Just my opinion. There was a girl who was there Friday night. I can't remember her name, but I think she said, I even wore my hair as a middle part. Oh, yeah. Just to fuck with Dylan.

Yeah. Yeah, dumbass. Yeah. You're the dumbass. We don't need to get into that again. But yeah, I will not back off my comments on the middle part. It's a trash hairstyle. Do you guys want to do the second half of the bracket that I didn't know existed?

Yeah. Explain what happened there. So we were sent the bracket by the admins of the Circling Back subreddit. And shouts to them. They've not only done a phenomenal job with this bracket, but they've done a really good job of creating a subreddit that is very active. I'm going to say 80% positive.

And the craziest thing, they all love the new logo and they all love the shirts. There's been nothing on there that would suggest otherwise. It's pretty crazy. But the admins have done a phenomenal job i've talked to them because i'm also an admin just in case anything needs to get handled immediately by your boy it's not chili's guy anymore nope i can't believe chili's guy just left us like that i know but uh they've made this bracket and they sent it to us and i i'll be

honest when i clicked on it I did it on my laptop. And if I took a screenshot, which I'm not going to do, on my laptop, it looks like there's only one side of it because I didn't scroll over. I'll be honest, I'm not used to scrolling left to right on a laptop. I'm impressed that we have at least 16 other bits that I haven't thought of yet. One thing we also didn't explain... Is cow whipping on there? I mean, just hold on. Dude, chill. Hey, sorry about your longhorns not making the tournament.

Oh, I don't care. Fire Shaka. We're the official Fire Shaka podcast. Did you guys know that each of these regions had names? No. Will, I don't know anything about it. I didn't know there was...

The first region was the early bird CBD region. Circling back for 20% off of your order. That's huge for them. The second region, which... So, no one else is doing this. Nobody else is doing this won the early bird CBD region. Of course. The Steam Room won the Eisenhower's region.

Okay? Okay. Nobody else is doing this. It's in our championship round. And then we have two regions today that we're going to do. Fulton and Rourke region and Quip region. Okay? This is not spawn, Nick. Somebody did this on there, right?

Yeah, yeah. This is not spawn. Y'all can't get mad at us. This isn't some native shit. Do you guys want to start? Let's go, bitch. Number one seed, Cummings slash Wadding. Okay.

Versus Valerio the Jaguar. Wow. This is the bracket of death. This is the toughest. I can't believe this region. No one's expecting Valerio to make a first round exit here. I can promise you that. But that's a tough matchup.

Yeah. I'm voting Cummings slash Wadding. I'm going to go Valerio and put the onus over on dave wow the onus i don't think i've had as much fun recording a podcast as i did the day we did valerio it was it was the top podcast we've ever done it was an all-time honestly that's probably one we would recommend okay that was from touching base wow. Wow. Yeah, I mean, look. Coming, wanting. Even though we don't see it.

We're at the exit. Even though we don't see those listens, go ahead and you can go back and listen to that one. Poo-poo versus Duncanville High School Athletics. Oh, this is a 9-8. Wow. This is one that I am very likely to get upset about. I mean, I'm just going to vote first because it's me.

I'm voting poo-poo. I'm going dunk. I can't stay in the poo-8. Wow. This is one that I am very likely to get upset about. I mean, I'm just going to vote first because it's me. I'm voting poo-poo. I'm going dunk. I can't stay in the poo-poo thing. You don't go into the home of the 2019 6A boys basketball champs. You're not allowed to rep that right now. People have been clamoring for you to talk about it right when it was happening, and you just were silent. You stayed home Saturday night to watch the game.

Your school's a powerhouse athletic program, dog. Yeah, chill. You know, and here's the thing. State runner-up, too? In football? Don't bring me back to that place. I'm just saying, that's impressive. Oh, I know.

Hey, we need to work on that baseball program, because in the 90s, it was a baseball powerhouse. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Guys, we do have a very good 12-5 matchup, which you know are dangerous. But yeah, I'm going Duncanville. Oh, all the fucking way. Yeah, yeah.

I've already put Duncanville through. Dylan's cat, number five, versus silverback gorillas, number 12. Wow, a lot of animals in this one. I'm going to go with the cat just because we still don't know the name of the cat. Just tell us the name right now. No. 5,000 backers and the name of the cat will be revealed you're building this up and i think it's going to be such a letdown oh it 100 is going to be a letdown i promise you oh man what if instead okay what if

instead of uh you releasing it what if we just drop the shirt with the name on it no one's gonna buy this shirt dude no one is going to buy that shirt, Dave. We'll sell three. One will be my mom. Yeah, that's a pre-order shirt. We've got to see the quantities first. All right, I'm going to go Dylan's Cat. Everyone's going Dylan's Cat.

This is a 13 versus 4 seed. Number 13, Austin's biggest little monster. I think that's referencing Dylan. Oh, hell yeah. How is that a 13 seed? That's like a five-year-old bitch. It was somehow higher than Valerio. Okay. If you know your boy's a little monster.

Number four, isn't that what they called you? Oh, man. I have an issue with that one. Somewhere along the way, it became a Dave bit, and I started that damn thing. Shut up. No, I can vouch for this. I think we were both doing that before I even started working at Grand X. Because I've been doing that joke

with my high school friends forever. And I really think... That's so weird. And I'm not kidding. I never was like, man, Dylan's jacking my bit. I was always like, man, Dylan was doing this joke too.

I got it from my buddy in high school that's what he used to say and he's it was always when I was in prison that's why I said the joke that way I don't know where it

originates from but I can think of times where it like I don't know eating wings at Hooters talking sports and

somebody will say something and I'll drop it like to the waitress and it's just awkward great minds dave great minds and that's why i believe it advances it's a four seed yeah yeah four seed moves on that's gonna move on but i'm gonna just for fun i'm gonna i'm gonna pick the little monster one because you know your boy's a little monster pointless picks i'm choosing isn't that what they called yeah i know uh also rest in peace to our favorite hooters on riverside yeah

i won't miss it home of the original live dave and i had much more many more moments there than you did yeah you weren't a part of those moments that's okay i'm not a big hooters guy i think a lot of the girls actually knew you though because these were their jobs well yeah a lot of them drive up from san marcos we would always see dylan like one time i checked the snap map and i saw dylan like driving towards the hooters and then I saw his car in the parking lot and a girl was getting dropped off. And then Dylan just drove away. Would you stop? That's absurd.

Did we talk about how the OG live blog waitress, Savannah, how you saw her on Rainy Street? Did she recognize Dave within a half a second? Weren't you there too? No. I was there. It was me. Oh, it was you. Okay.

An intern client. Yeah. She was there with her BF and they were doing promo for some vodka company. Some natural vodka. She's like, do you want to try

some of this natural vodka? And I was like, I couldn't say no. It was Savannah. You can't say no. I would have said no. Dude, it's the OG original live blog.

It was like, it was apple flavored natural vodka. It wasn't awesome. All right, number three versus number 14. Oh, come on't awesome. Number three versus number 14. Oh, come on, man.

Number three versus Last Weekend and Fun. This one, in my opinion, is easy. It's got to be Oh, Come On, Man. Come on, man. They came into the tournament playing hot. Now, that's one that you definitely created, right? Yeah, I sure did. I don't know if I should be proud of that one or not, but that's mine.

You put your own twist on it. Number 11, bottle service of blank versus number 6, mash that button. I'm going to mash that button on mash that button. I'm going to go bottle service just because I enjoy it. And also, I think that

we are known for wearing out phrases very hard, and I think mash that button might have been one of the we we are known for wearing out phrases very hard and i think mash that button might have been one of the worst we've ever worn anything out i think the first couple episodes of this podcast we said it in the hundreds they might be unlistenable at this point yeah did we all use that caption one time we were mashed crazy we were mashed crazy it's because we couldn't stop saying it in san diego and then And then we parlayed it into this podcast. What are you voting, Dave? I'm going to go mash.

Is that when we all got the same caption off on our Instagram? Maybe. Mash that heart button. We're probably going to give these some second wind. Yeah. Because now I'm like, oh, I forgot about that. I've got to start using it more. Business expensing everything versus low effort memes.

Ooh. I got to say, the low effort meme has made such a strong comeback in 2019. I got to move them on. They're hot. I'm going to also vote for low effort memes because I really do enjoy the fact that these are just getting posted in the subreddit and we can just use them. I'm not real familiar with what those are, but I'll defer to you guys. It's because you're like, well, we'll get to this. Actually, let's just go to this right now.

Maybe it's because number two seed, Dylan, is in his late 40s versus number 15, which is a phrase that I say and I know that I say it, but it's never really been a narrative of me saying it. It's me saying the phrase, for me, that's it. What? Is that something you say?

I don't know how that made the tournament. Well, let me say this. They won their conference and everyone was like, oh, shit. They won the playing game. To be fair, it's against Dylan in his late 40s, and that's not knocked on.

Dude, yeah. Will and I, we don't even need to vote. This is number two, something you did today, David. Thanks for having me back. Versus Super Sage. Oh, wow. Don't do this to me. Super Sage is not used to a first-round KO, but I think it's happening right now, folks.

Yeah. Yeah, I would like to vote. No, Dave, you can vote. No, you don't. I'm going to vote for thanks for having me back. I am too. Super Sage has been more of a narrative on a previous podcast we were on and not this current one. So I think it would be unfair to...

But Sage, if you're listening and we know you are, you're welcome to come back on Circling Back, sir. We would love to have you. We miss you. Right? Agree. Okay. listening and we know you are you're welcome to come back on circling back sir we would love to have you we miss you right agree okay um 10 versus 7 this we're not on the quit bracket by the way uh 10 versus 7 cc's pizza versus grabbing q with chris harrison okay oh it's got to be cute come on it's got to be the q man but cc's got to be the Q. Man, but CC's, man. Dollar 99 back in the day. Yeah, but if you're grabbing Q with Chris Harrison, you're killing it. Yeah, you're right.

That's a sad place these days, by the way. Yeah, I know. Me and a homie went the other day. Yeah, you take him there all the time. Yeah. We just go, and I've been teaching him how to do some stuff on Mortal Kombat. I taught him the blood code. Damn.

Yeah. He's too young for that. I know number six going micro viral versus number eleven sock will slash bearded will

I don't I don't know how to vote for this one like I feel like those are two different things I'm going micro I'm a big fan

of the micro viral it's a fun it's a fun label to put on a tweet that otherwise would have gone on, like no one would have talked about. Yeah, it's like barely on the radar at all, but we're calling it micro viral. Did you see the real Kate Pat, or real Kat Pat went micro with her Bachelor stuff? Those are really funny.

I saw them late. I didn't realize that was happening. Well, she went straight macro. Oh, she did? Do y'all follow her? I might need to give her a follow. Oh, I definitely follow her. She's hilarious.

I'm going to do it right now. She's hilarious. Is she? Yes. Read off her app. We just gassed her. So read off her app. She went macro to the point where Ariana Grande quote tweeted her.

It's real cat what? Pat. Really? Yeah. Man, that's huge. She got like 56,000 retweets or something like that. That's certified macro. I don't see it.

Well, we'll figure it out. I'll find it. I'll come back to y'all. Oh, I found it. Number 14. It's at TheRealCatPat, and that's K-A-T. Oh, yeah. She is now followed by your boy.

Big day for her. Big day for her. Right, Dave? She is definitely not canceled. No, I'm here for the real cat, Pat. All right, chill, Dylan. Okay. Why don't you just calm down?

She's too old for you. She's not in college. She's younger than you. Okay. Number 14, NetJets versus number three, getting a tinky off. Oh, I'm a Wheels Up guy now. Yeah, Wheels Up follows us all on Twitter, so I think we're going to have to go Wheels Up.

Do they follow me, too? I don't know. Probably not, because you've probably never been on a page. They followed me. I don't want to stunt. They followed me like two weeks before they followed you, Dave. But they also follow like 30,000 people. Oh, really?

Does Soulja Boy follow you? No. Souljapods drop number two. Are you sure that he still follows you? No, I didn't check. That is a situation that is like... That would be so shitty man they don't follow me yet but uh wow number number four the homie we've seen how this ends before

versus number 13 middle part come on this is a tough match come on this is a tough match up um i mean i can't not vote. Here's the question, though. Can the homie mentally graph bombing out in the finals again? I mean, would a first round bounce be any easier for him to handle? I don't know. What seed is he?

He's a four seed. He was a one seed last year. He had a lot of players go to the draft. One of these two things will be your legacy. Which one do you want it to be? I got to go homie. I can't vote against a homie. I'm going to go.

Oh, you fucking cunt. Come on, Dave. You ripped his heart out last year. Might as well do it again, bitch. I was not going to let myself have the deciding vote here. Only because I don't want it to be awkward next time I see him. I'm going to take the original P-Man, the homie. Okay.

If you're new here, that's Dylan's son. People are just wondering who this person is. Very handsome young man. He's a cute kid. I watched him put back so many freaking slices of Alfredo pizza the other day. Alfredo's like one of the worst foods you could possibly eat.

It tastes good, but like for you, it's like just trash. I went to the men's room. I came back and I was going to put some crushed red pepper on my pizza.

That little fart had unscrewed the top and it just poured all over my plate. Just everywhere. All right, dude. You just called a little fart?

Yeah. He was a little fart. Okay, number 12. Will watching Game of thrones versus number five okay dude we get it only because i don't want to hear about the i will take the latter give me oh wait whatever one was uh okay dude we get it yeah i'll take i don't like either of these, but I'll take that one. Okay, dude. We get it. Yeah.

I'm going to abstain from voting. I had a long conversation with some backers the other night regarding my stance with Game of Thrones. Talk to that one dude I'd have beaten your ass. I will say. I think they like me a little bit more

after I talked to them through it. It's laziness at this point. That's all it is. Number eight. Will's gym referral versus nine, worst weekends. Ooh. I'm going to go gym referral. I'm going gym referral, too, because I'm not giving up on that.

We're going to get you in there. Yeah. I'm going to go gym referral, too. Okay. Number 16, Matty B. Oh, man. Versus number one. It just hits different.

See, Matty B doesn't have a chance here for me because that's an old bit. Also, people think he did 9-11. Well, I'm not sure he didn't do 9-11, Dave. Do you guys want to breeze through round two as well? Yeah. Do you want to do this whole side like we did last week? Might as well knock it out. All right.

Valerio versus Duncanville. Oh! Valerio. I don't. Oh! Valerio! Are you Valerio Valerio Let me just make it interesting You know I'm going Donk You know I'm going City of Chance Dave, I respect your love for high school athletics

Thank you Having said that I think I have to go Valerio These are two teams that should not have met so early Yeah, I agree I don't want to do I'm not kidding, two teams that should not have met so early. Yeah, I agree. This should be a championship. I don't want to do... Honestly, I'm not kidding.

I honestly don't want to do this to Duncanville, but I think I have to go Valeria. My boy, Matty McQuaid, Michigan State, put it on your Wolverines yesterday. Did he go to Duncanville? Yeah. I didn't even get close to watching that game. Probably for the best.

I mean, they'll meet in the Final Four. It's going to be fun. I hope so. That'd be tight. I mean, they'll meet in the Final Four. It's going to be fun. I hope so. That'd be tight. I had people hitting me up on the side. If Michigan and Michigan State meet in the Final Four and Michigan State beats them four times, Michigan might as well just get rid of their basketball program.

Like, Duda might just render it useless with all his tweets now. Duda's, okay, I shouldn't say surprisingly, but his sports tweets, especially on Michigan State, talking down to Michigan, they're just A+. Michigan State's really having a moment. And I say surprisingly because Duda doesn't really jump into that mess very often. But when he does, I enjoy it.

He loves the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry. He definitely does. Yeah, but got to say, I'm just going to keep RT and Duncanville stuff and repping it so people – That's fun. People are like, oh, Dave's from duncanville maybe he was like a you know some kind of athletic what separates you talking about it what separates you talking about it versus other people talking about it is that like you like your teams are certified bangers like they're good yeah and i have a lot to do with that being uh 34 and living in austin yeah uh dylan's cat versus isn't that what they called you i'm voting dylan's cat

um okay sure dylan's cat is literally paying the bills right now people are subscribing to patreon just so that they can know i'll go cat as well not a shocker there yeah it's gonna under deliver and i'm sorry that there's been so much build upup. But it's only because I just don't want to share the name. That's all. Next one's a tough one. Aw, come on, man. Versus mash that button. Ooh, I'm going mash.

I'm going mash, too. I love the mash. That's fine. I like aw, come on, man, but I think mash, it was very, it was during our formative years of this. All right, mash is through. Low effort memes versus Dylan in his late 40s. Ooh, this is easy. I hate both of this. All right, mash us through. Low effort memes versus Dylan in his late 40s. Oh, this is easy.

I hate both of these. Dylan's an older guy. What? We have to go late 40s, don't we? God. Whatever. What? Some people were saying that you didn't make it out the other night because you were still hung over from two nights earlier.

Yeah, when you were at the square. Stop. I was on Snap Map the other night because you were still hung over from two nights earlier yeah when you were at the square stop i was on snap i was on snap map the other night and i zoomed in on sam marcus no you weren't on it was just dylan just he was standing up on like a balcony just pouring shots in the girl's mouth i remember that no dylan's dylan was there tuesday after the fraternity and sorority meetings he was at nephewshew's doing $2 U-Collets. I'm so sick of y'all, man. Are you guys ready for this next one? Were you at Nephew's or not? I was not at Nephew's, Dave. I haven't been to St. Marcus in years.

All right. Quip bracket. Yeah, quip side. It's a crip side. Sorry. What? Thanks for having me back, Dave, versus grabbing Q with Chris Harrison.

Okay, dude, we get it. I don't think that's much of a powerhouse. It's not enough for me to vote out the homie. So I'm going to go with the homie. I'll go homie. Will's gym referral versus it just hits different. It just hits different. It hits different.

It just hits different. Valerio versus Dylan's cat. So this is, I think we know which one. Wow, one cat against another. Yeah.

Yeah, Valerio seems to be the clear favorite here. I'm going Valerio. No upset tonight. Yeah, I'm going Valerio. Valerio would absolutely murk your fucking house cat. No offense. Yeah, Valerio is a jaguar absolutely murk your fucking house cat well yeah no offense yeah Valerio is a jaguar yeah

this is tough because Dylan is in his late 40s and that's why it's moving on well no I'm not Dylan in his late 40s. I'm mashing. This is tough because Dylan is in his late 40s and that's why it's moving on. Well, no, I'm not. Dylan is late 40s. We're the same age, Dave. It's moving on. You got a year on me.

I got like eight months on you. Okay. Grabbing Q with Chris Harrison versus going micro. You know how that is in dog years? And you know I'm a dirty dog. I'm sorry. R. Farf.

What was it? Grabbing Q with Chris Harrison versus going micro. Okay, going... Okay, grabbing Q with Chris Harrison versus going micro. Okay, grabbing Q with Chris Harrison was like two weeks long. Do we have that clip of him actually saying that on the podcast? Or did he say that? I think he said it as he walked out.

God damn, he did say it as he walked out. I know that it's never going to happen, but when he stopped, looked back, and pointed at us and said, Hey, next time we're in Austin, let's grab some Q. It was like, we're in!, let's grab some Q. You know what? I'm going to do it. Like, we're in. I'm going to DM him right now.

But that was the most hollow offer of all time. No, it wasn't, dude. He looked so honest. I am going to vote for going. Can you imagine Chris Harrison coming to Austin like, oh, those guys that live here, I should go grab barbecue with them. Absolutely not. I'm going to vote going micro.

I am too. But imagine having Q with Chris Harrison. I'm DMing him right now. I am too. But imagine having Q with Chris Harris. I'm DMing him right now. Okay. We got the match play coming up next week. You know he's a big golf guy. He's not a Pete Dye guy though. Not a Pete Dye guy.

Well, he's not going to be playing. He's not one of the top players in the world. He doesn't even like to go to the tournament, he said. Did he say that? That's insane. The homie versus it just hits different. It just hits different. I'm voting against the homie why uh it's

the homies i mean i'm gonna vote for it just hits different too he's gonna get knocked out eventually what was it i was looking at the homie versus it just hits different who's voted what we've already voted it's just it's different through wow why don't you know what i guess my vote just doesn't matter all right we're in the elite eight valerio versus dylan in his late 40s god don't make me do this valerio i'm gonna go dylan in his late 40s will be uh as am i on you i will take that onus and i will use it sorry valerio you're dead Going micro versus it just hits different Whoa Give me micro

I did I think I have to go with just hits different I gotta put down my phone on these podcasts. I'm over here trying to DM Chris Harris. Be careful. I checked one email once and I got scorched. Guys, I have news. This decides who goes to the championship to go against nobody else who's doing this.

Okay. Dylan in his late 40s versus It Just Hits Different. God bless. I like that these are both purely circling bat bits. Right? Yes. No, me being old has... That's always been a thing.

Yeah, it's been around. It really got ramped up on CB. Yeah, it sure did. It's been fun. Well, Dave? Why y'all looking at me? Say something, bitch sure did. It's been fun. Well, Dave? Why y'all looking at me? Say something, bitch. Vote.

Dylan moves on. Dylan? Hits different. Moves on. What I'm about to do is not something I want to do. It kind of kills me inside to do this. Oh, no. I think I have to vote for it just hits different.

Oh, yes. Yes. It's just been such a good... It's just been so good to us. That's right. Like, I see it. I see it. Don't have to explain it, man.

Okay. To me. I'm going to do it. You're looking at me. Look, I am upset. I think it's an upset, but... I have two... phrases here these are two i'm upset two isms from this very podcast nobody else is doing this versus it just hits different are we voting right now it's just like where are we should we leave the final vote for wednesday this is the final two

this is the final two oh wow i the final two. Oh, wow. Let's just end it right now. It just hits different. Gets my vote. Thank you. Oh, no. For me, it's nobody else is doing this. For sure. So I have to decide. It's on you, player.

I'm trying to think back because both of these really caught fire when we were in San Diego. Like many boys trips, they develop a lot of jokes or inside jokes. Oh, yeah. And things that you say for a long time after. It's a bonding experience. When I think about it now, I have to go with nobody else is doing this. We said it so many other times on that trip.

Like anything that anyone did, if Bryce Butler was just hitting lob wedges into like the green right in front of the driving range, like we were just like, dude, no one's doing that. Like they're releasing a driver right now and he's just out here hitting wedges. No one's doing that. It just hits different.

Definitely had its moments over that trip, but I have to go with nobody else is doing this. He got a wedge lesson from Roger Cleveland right there in front of us. It seems like a good person to get a wedge lesson from. We definitely were doing that. No. He was the only one doing that. You don't see that.

So that's the winner then. It's done. Well, we thank you all for your support on this bracket. Yeah. Let's talk about our friends over at roback please it's about time roback my homies yeah exactly uh you've heard us talk about them before there are literally our new favorite clothing company they make polos long sleeve and short sleeve they make qz's i'm surprised none of us are wearing a qz right now. Did y'all get a long-sleeve polo? No.

Should I have? Your boy did. Should I have gotten one? And it is super dope. I might need to hit them up. They have hats. Dave got a hat. It looks great.

Their performance tee is currently gracing your boy's body right now. It is. I love it. I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan of everything they do. I actually golfed in one of their polos for the first time the other day. It was phenomenal. It never came untucked in the back, which is a big deal for me. I hate it when I start golfing and I have to tuck in my shirt in the back the entire time.

Yeah. It was an incredible golf experience wearing that shirt. Someone hit me up asking if the sizes are true to size. Absolutely, they are. I would say yes. A lot of times with these companies, you worry that they're going to be too big especially golf companies no I wear a large in the shirts

and large is what I should be ordering can't stop wearing them no I'll be honest they sent us a lot of product a lot of product and I've been enjoying

every single second of it I've got golf tees for days and meaning like actual golf tees little throw in oh yeah yeah yeah they did very exciting

uh if you go to rowback.com and use circle 20 at checkout you get 20 off the order circle 20 circle 20 20 off yeah don't sleep on the hats don't sleep on the hats no they're really nice one of the best fitting hats i've ever worn i messed up i accidentally rolled over and slept on the hat but but ended up getting the wrinkles out. You dumbass. Yeah. God. And they named their company after a dog. That's so fucking tight. Like no one's doing that. I mean, there are other companies that are doing that.

Like also sponsored this podcast. Oh yeah, that's true. But like still, like not that many other people are doing that. Again, that's rollback.com. Code circle20 for 20% off. It's R-H-O-B-A-C-K. Yeah.

Should we steam real quick? What are we steaming on? You can do whatever you want. I don't know. Turn the steam on, bitch. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where did the steam room go out? Or Dylan popping towels?

The steam room went out. That's a major upset. The towel whipped in its own... To be fair, the steam room made it to the final four But it lost to no one doing it They're happy with that Is the steam on right now? Yeah

Get over here Dave Hey I'm Look I'm Get over here Dave I'm right next to Get those ass cheeks over here Don't Okay you took it too far

Get your sick ass I mean get I don't like What's your germ? Is it from like King of the Hill or something with like a little tiny butt? You know what I'm talking about? Get your tiny little white butt over here. I'm just imagining Dave doing that.

You know what? You know I got that tip wet too. Make it sting. Is there any way you are steaming on anything? I lost my ass in Wolf on Friday. It wasn't that much money, but I still lost. Courtesy of my buddy from high school. I would feel bad for you if you didn't literally always take my money in Wolf on Friday. It wasn't that much money, but I still lost. Courtesy of my buddy from high school. I would feel bad for you if you didn't literally always take

my money in Wolf. You missed a fun round. Weather was absolute trash. Very, very windy, but we had fun. Can I steam on something? That's why we're here. I don't know if I've already steamed on this, but like,

okay. Recently I started going to a new vet. It's the same one that Dave goes to. And Rosie has had like very minor, minor health problems. Nothing, nothing serious, nothing that's going to kill her. Just like a little annoyances that have sprung up. I went to the vet the other day and all I want to do is just get in and get out i'm not trying to sit there and linger the first thing i do or the first thing they do when i walk in is they offer me like a cold brew or a beer because it's after five o'clock and i'm like no i don't

want that like just bring my damn dog in and tell me what's wrong with her damn like you have it's a waiting room don't offer me a cold brew after 5 o'clock. That's just downright irresponsible. Okay, you're kind of being a jerk because they're being nice. Yeah. What's your problem? I might be steaming on you. And then I go in. How dare you offer me delicious...

No, no, no. It's good cold brew. It's like on tap cold brew. It's not your grandma's cold brew. No. This isn't just free. You're paying for this in the long run. This isn't some free nice little convenience.

They are definitely nickel and diming you down the line because of this they're going above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and happy when you're there and you're not everything needs to be steaming on them not everything needs to be appeasing to millennials i know it's steaming to a million people right now millennials do not own offering a beer yes they do in this setting they do okay go ahead i just don't need that wow just don't don't don't try to butter me up just so you can eventually like force me to like pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars butter coffee it wasn't butter coffee just so i can eventually pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars for you to do something that might not need to get done

okay so it sounds like your real issue is with the quality of vet work. Maybe, but it's easier to bitch about something that I know about, which is cold brew and beer, as opposed to vet stuff, which they could be completely right about certain things, but I just don't know. They figure you're in there for possibly an unfortunate circumstance, maybe a sick dog, and they're offering you here. I know you don't want to be here.

Here's a beer on us. Sorry you're here, but we're going to make the best of it. They're doing it for you. It's a good service. What if I don't want to get a caffeine buzz, and what if I don't want to get a little... Then just turn it down. Can I get a Topo or something? Dude, you talk about millennials.

You sound like the most entitled little millennial bitch. Oh my God. No, I'm just saying, I don't need... Not every place needs to be this, like, chill atmosphere. Like, some places you want to get in, get out. You're going to get roasted for this. Why? Yeah.

You are. This is worse than the time you said you exclusively play top flight golf balls. I can already read the Reddit thread about this. No. I'm going to end up switching vets because I just don't need the pageantry. Oh, my God. You're going to switch vets because they're too accommodating. No, because it's just a little much.

They lay it on a little too thick. It's a little too millennial yuppie scum. I want to go there when I get a dog. Where is it? You want to bring Randy by? Yeah. You just bring him back. They'll weigh him.

Okay. I'll get a beer. We'll weigh Randy. I'll be on my way. Although he doesn't do well on the scale. Really? That's not surprising. Why?

Because he's embarrassed of his weight. Yeah, he's like, everybody's been calling me thick. I love that dog. I love Rosie, too, but Randy just hits different. You definitely have a favorite. He's been asking about you. Really? He's like, where's that one dude, like the real tan one?

I was like, oh, Dylan? He's like, yeah, Dylan. Damn, I didn't know you guys talked like that. We often do. That's tight. He likes going to the vet, man. I'm sorry you have a bad experience. What a dog.

That place is recommended by a friend. I'll be honest, I just don't really like vets. No one likes going to the. That place is recommended by a friend. I'll be honest. I just don't really like vets. No one likes going to the vet. No one wants to go there. I know. It's not a fun activity. I feel like more than any other thing in the world, vets jerk you around.

I feel like because you can't actually ask your dog what's wrong. They can just tell you a bunch of different things and you'll take it as truth kind of like me if i go into a car place like they could just tell me like oh this doesn't work and i'm like yeah it probably doesn't i don't really know but like when it comes to like an actual doctor if they're talking to you and they're like dylan you have the flu you need to take this you're like okay yeah that makes sense but for a dog it's like yeah i don't know you know way more than I do. I don't think so, man. I think they do. Dude, those people are not in it for the money. They're not. Vets don't make much money.

I know that tax might not be, but... Vet tax are definitely... Dude, vets don't make much money. Those people love dogs. I promise you they don't make... They make much less than you think. If anyone has a straightforward vet recommendation in Austin, Texas, my ears are wide open. I'm not going to at the place.

Wait, why didn't you just go back to the previous one you had? It was really far away. And man. It was really far away. And when you're driving across like Austin and traffic and stuff, it could take you 45 minutes to get there. Since we're steaming and you brought it up, man, like if you're going to be on your third vet, maybe it's on you, bro.

Oh, shit. Well, just to be clear, the only reason that we had to get an event was because Sally lived in Fort Worth with the dog. I'm just saying. You want Sally to drive three hours with the dog back to Austin. Classic millennial. Look at you. Shut up.

Put out an ad on Craigslist. Say male 30. What are you, 32? 31. I always forget. 35. I'm 36. I'm 32.

I'm 32. 32 seeking vet who does not offer beer or cold brew. Yeah. All I'm saying is... What a thing to steam on, man. Yeah. You're going to hear it from the gallery. Wow.

What is the counter to this? Well, it's not. It's just a weird thing to get upset about. You're unappreciative of this service that they're providing you providing you that for free like it masks the real issues of the vet so you're saying that they're not good at their job so they mask it by giving that's not what i'm saying i'm not saying let's just get everybody i'm not saying but like i mean like do they think that like delivering bad news is somehow going to be remedied by like oh but hey i got this cool cold brew sick thank you no just tell me what's wrong just tell me damn man this is like this is like a larry david that didn't make the the cut yeah yeah this isn't

a bit like i've already texted all my friends i'm like this is so unnecessary i'm sitting here and all you have to do is say no lasting like maggie rogers like her new album that just dropped and like shoving cold cold brew down my throat. This place seems chill as hell. It might be, but maybe I... T-Man used to bring his dog there. Fuck. I don't want to wrong T-Man.

Don't wrong T-Man. Well, you've already wronged me and Brad Key. Yeah, I did. And probably somebody else. I don't know. All right, man. Good luck. All I know is that the vet techs, they love Randy, so I'll... Who doesn't love Randy? I don't know. Not right, man. Good luck. All I know is that the vet techs, they love Randy, so I'll...

Who doesn't love Randy? I don't know. Not to make it about Randy. Actually, I'll be honest. I'll be honest. The vet techs at this place have all been absolutely incredible. I'll say that. I've only had to deal with the actual vet once, and it was when we got his first shot.

Yeah, I did one stint with the vet, and then... You know, maybe my real issue is not the actual vets. Maybe it's the people at the front that are offering it to me and who are also not the easiest on the phone sometimes. Ooh. Maybe that's the issue deep down. I'm just working through it with you guys. I'm sorry.

Hey, that's fine, man. We don't come into the Steam room to just mail it in. Look. You say what you got to say, brother. Damn, should we move on? I watched a movie last night on Netflix. Okay. I don't know if I'm steaming on it, but I watched it.

I watched a shit movie on Friday. I'll tell you about it. This is at the recommendation of our old friend Dan. You guys might know him as a writer on TFM back in the day under the name Jack Hammer. He hit me up and said he's got the perfect movie. It's called Triple Frontier. The cast is stacked.

Ben Affleck, the guy from the movie Varsity, not Varsity Blues, Friday Night Lights, the quarterback. Dude from Sons of Anarchy, hot guy. Charlie, is it Charlie Hunnam? I don Dude from Sons of Anarchy, hot guy. Is it Charlie Hunnam? I don't watch Sons of Anarchy. Dude, Prince Oberyn. Narcos guy, too. Narcos guy.

Basically, it's a bunch of ex-Special Forces buddies who get back together to go rob a drug dealer in South America. On his face, it's like this is gonna be sounds tight movie ever what it wasn't great what's the temperature on ben affleck lately i'm out on him uh i thought it was a little bit weird that he was in this turns out he this has gone through a number of um directors and cast members. Like Mark Wahlberg was going to be in it. At one point they had

Casey Affleck, which... So, okay. Here's the question about Ben Affleck. What tier is he when it comes to actors? I think he's still tier one. As an actor?

Like his ability? Or as just a power player in Hollywood? I don't think we can deny him being a power player in Hollywood. Yeah, because he's tier one. In terms of his actual acting, though, I think that could actually be up for debate. Two or three? He wasn't a good Batman.

Can I talk about the movie that I watched? Yeah. I watched a movie called Mine, M-I-N-E, starring Armie Hammer. Pretty much the only notable person in the movie. That's Jack's brother. Yeah, that's Jack's brother. It sucked. He was in the military, Special Forces, I believe.

He was a sniper. And he was walking through the desert and stepped on what he thought was a mine. So the whole movie, he basically like trying to figure out how to get off this thing without dying and he has these visions and it ends up not even being a mine at the end he looked like a damn snack in the movie spoiled the movie no one no one wants to watch this movie i think he's like you are the spoiler that was a pretty big spoiler the movie sucks no one wants to watch it i'm saving i'm saving you i kind of want to double back on what i was saying affleck has been in some real heaters lately or yeah what

lately the accountant i never was pretty tight i never watched any of his batman here here's my sorry to derail this again but now i'm just i can't stop thinking about it his acting is a lot of just being like very like stoic you know what i mean he's not necessarily like some like emphatic actor that does a lot he's just kind of like this one like very like strong silent type in a lot of movies that's essentially what he is in this one he was kind of sick in the town gone girl he was. I just don't know if he was great in those. But then he's also been in Pearl Harbor. Argo was awesome.

Argo was great. Armageddon, great movie. He was in Dazed and Confused. He wasn't a lot of fucking heaters. Dazed and Confused is iconic. You could have replaced him in Good Will Hunting with another guy. No one would have even noticed. He was not pivotal to that.

This Triple Frontier movie, it moved forward. Channing Tatum was in it. another guy and no one would have even noticed he was not pivotal to that this triple frontier movie it was it moved forward channing tatum was in it tom hardy was supposed to be in it and then like oh dude at one point everyone was like all lee was like was everyone just like yeah this movie sucks well it's just like the rights of it and then the base ben and casey bought the rights this is like i don't know i wonder how many movies really this happens with. Like where... It just goes through people. Directors.

The lady and the guy who did The Hurt Locker were originally going to direct it and God, that would have been tight if they did it. Catherine Bigelow? Catherine Bigelow.

Put a name on that. She's phenomenal. If they had... It wasn't a bad movie. I'm not upset that I watched it, but it just... It gets right. It gets straight to it.

They don't really fuck with character development, which is kind of tight, but like, I don't know. I wonder how often this happens. If ever. If you have any stories about your ex military buddies going to rob drug dealers in South America, please let us know. Cause that sounds awesome.

So if someone wrote the script and they just went through a bunch of different hands in order for the rights. Exactly. So it's not like a true story where people bought the rights. Definitely not true. Okay. Just making sure. I haven't seen it. Obviously. I'll see exactly so it's not like a true story where people bought the rights definitely not okay just making sure i haven't seen it obviously i'll see it though it sounds like a wild ride it's a it's a good cast is it on netflix it's on netflix is it is it a movie made for netflix i think netflix just got the rights to has netflix gotten to

the point where like it doesn't matter if the movie was in theaters or something. You still trust Netflix. Yes. That's exactly right. Netflix is astounding lately. They're doing it. They're pretty much giving everybody a show. Yeah. They definitely could get to the point where it's just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. I think a lot of people think it's already there. I heard that the...

I think Dylan might argue it does. He spent two hours watching The Mine or whatever. That's on you. Yeah, it looked interesting. The trailer was decent enough and I gave it a shot and I swung and missed. It happens. I heard the Ken Jeong stand-up

was one of the worst stand-up specials in the history of stand-up specials. Yeah. I will watch it for that reason no i will i refuse he he's so like overdone so dylan in this movie is there any dialogue because like with him being a mime like mine in with an n oh you said oh yeah okay my bad yeah you thought he stepped on a mime yeah no he didn't step on a mime which would be kind of hilarious that would be that would be a funny little twist there like if he stepped off of that mime starts talking he would go can't see it they've just made a explosion he mimicked an explosion with his hands. As a mime would do. Good job, Dave.

You're funny, man. Oh, that was so stupid. You're funny. You're a funny motherfucker. No, you're funny. Thanks, man. You're funny, man. Look at fucking Dave over there just making jokes. No.

I owe it to y'all. You silly bitch. Anything else? I don't know. Now I'm afraid. Now I'm just straight afraid. How tight was the golf yesterday? It was fine.

Fine? Yeah. Why? I don't like it when the final group's just like shit the bed completely. They were in it until... How intimidating is the drive on 18? I would absolutely just nut up. I don't play a draw.

You have to hit a draw. I know what would happen. I would hit it through the fairway every time, way right. Yeah, right. I would aim right and say, I'm just going to hit it. I'm taking bogey on 18 every time, and I'm very happy with it. That's got to be one of the most intimidating finishing holes, the tee shot anyway.

Furyk, I think it was Saturday. Furyk, like, towed the line. Oh, he hit the wood. Yeah, he was the shortest hitter on tour. We almost saw Jim Furyk fall into the water. Yeah. I was legit worried.

Because I felt... You know, he's an older guy. He's, what, 48, 47? He can't even swim. It would have been hilarious had he played 18 just sopping wet. Just drenched. God, he'd look like such a wet dog.

Yeah. Well, kind of. He doesn't really have the hair for it. Yeah, like one of those hairless ones, though. Like a hairless cat? Dude, he shot on 18, though, yesterday. It was money. He started walking it out before he even finished his swing.

It was so weird. I've never seen, I've never seen Jim Furyk look so locked in. Is he alpha? Can you be an alpha? He was alpha, he was very alpha yesterday.

The shortest hitter on tour, alpha. If you're labeled the shortest hitter on tour, like, are you just doing everything in your power to try to change that?

Yeah. Like, you don't want to be the shortest. He's also the most accurate driver, though. I know, but it's just like, shit.

He stands so close to the ball, it's weird. Yeah, it's not pretty. But we've got to be happy for Rory, right? Who are you pulling for? Fleetwood? I think I asked you this yesterday. I was pulling for Rory, number one. And then, number two, I was pulling for Fleetwood.

Tommy. Tommy, Tommy. Tommy! Like it happens. As Fierk Tommy! But then, like it happens, like as Furyk started going, it was like, oh, I kind of... That's the best storyline that could happen. Yeah, yeah.

I was definitely in on Furyk. I just like the Tommy chant. I don't like when Tommy is not playing well because he already looks sad, but then when he really looks sad, it makes me sad. Yeah. He didn't play well.

He couldn't make a putt. Irons were all over the place. But damn, dude, he's still got swag. Of course he does. I cannot watch him play without yelling his name in Peaky Blinder's voice. To the point to where my wife is like, what? My wife. I'm like, sorry.

It's Toby! Are y'all in on Peaky Blinders? I've never seen an episode. I'm aware of what it is, though. Great show. No, I don't want to. Did y'all see they made an arrest in the mob hit? Alleged mob hit?

No, it's big, though. Had nothing to do with the mob, per police. It was a 24-year-old kid. What? It was a 24-year-old kid who apparently, this is over a girl. Well, that's disappointing. Yeah. Over a girl?

Yeah, a girl who was associated with the Gambino crime family in some fashion. And apparently this guy, this is what police think. Yeah. I think the police are getting strong-armed here and they're changing their story. You're saying the police are changing their story. I think someone's pockets are getting filled a little bit. Oh, yeah, maybe. I mean, come on. Oh, Jim.

Jim. I don't know, Jim. His fingerprints were apparently all over the scene and stuff. See, you can't do that. Yeah. That's like crime 101. Also, don't go after the boss. Yeah, that too.

You can't just go out there hitting bosses. That's a good way to get got. That's not going to be easy on you. Nah. I was really, dude, when that dropped, man, I thought we were going to have some good content rolling out, slow burn. All I'm saying is, stay tuned.

You love some mob activity. I'm not ready to declare this. An uptick in mob activity. This case is not closed. You know we got mob ties. Yeah, of course. This case is not closed. Oh, okay.

Okay, Detective DeFreeze. Oh, no. There's some stuff on the horizon. Let's talk about March Madness. The brackets came out yesterday. They did. Your boy, I don't fill out a bracket. Mine's already busted.

I'm not a bracket boy. I'm not a bracket boy. If I'm going to get some action on this, I'd much rather just bet on the games than make a bracket. Absolutely. Right now, if you join my bookie, they will match your deposit with a 50% bonus. You hear that?

S-T-E-A-M. Yes. If you visit mybookie.ag today, you can play, you can win, and you can get paid. Do you guys have any uh any predictions for this tournament it's gonna be a good one i've watched a total of zero college basketball games this year um i'm not gonna say duke like everyone wants to say but zion is a lot of fun to watch so i hope he goes far in the tournament just so i can watch him play more that's all i care about i care i mean obviously like i I'm not a big regular season

college basketball guy. Very few people are. That being said, everyone watches March Madness. Yeah. And having skin in the game is way more fun. It makes it so much more fun.

I do definitely want Zion to go far because he's the most watchable college athlete... or college basketball player I've seen in a really, really, really, really, really long time. Not named Matty McQuaid. Stop.

I call him Swaggy McQuaid. I mean, I would rather have Duke win with Zion playing in every single game of this tournament than having any team that I have any investment in. I rewatched the 30 for 30 Christian Laettner. When? When did you watch it? Like recently? Like last week.

Dude, it's so good. Yeah. Every reason they list as to why you should hate Christian laitner is like a reason that i think he's awesome yeah it it got me kind of excited for the tournament which is probably their goal and made me love christian laitner his fits in that like documentary are incredible doesn't do to love christian laitner isn't yesuda, I think Duda and I are kind of similar in the fact that like as kids, like he and I talked about this one time, like growing up, Duke was sick.

Yeah. Obviously they've always been sick really. But like I remember growing up, they were very hyped and I would used to watch them all the time. And so like I kind of grew up like a low-key Duke guy. I hate Duke, but I love Coach K. It's weird.

That is very weird. Yeah. Most people hate Coach K. Yeah. I really don't either. He's just a badass. He's a nice guy, too. If you coach Team USA, I'm not going to poop on you.

I was a baller growing up in elementary school, middle school. And when Michigan dropped, we had Fab Five. I remember wanting to get longer shorts, and my dad was like, okay. So he got me some that he thought were longer, and they still weren't long. I was like, dude, I still look like a little bitch boy, Dad. And he's like, don't say that word.

I quit the team. He's like, you quit the team, you're throwing your future away. Oh, shit. Yeah. Anyway, I came back for the state game. We took state that year. Wow. I didn't know any of this. But yeah, the long shorts, man.

Iconic. Let's give them that promo code one more time. I think I was too young to... I thought we had a buffer there. It was Steam. Mybookie.ag, Steam. I thought we were just doing 50% bonus. I think I was too young to appreciate what the Michigan team was doing then. You know what I mean? Yeah, because you're younger than me and I was very young. I don I think I was too young to appreciate what the Michigan team was doing then. You know what I mean?

Yeah, because you're younger than me, and I was very young. I don't think I could mentally grasp what was going on. Dylan, so you were finishing up your sophomore year when Michigan really came out, and we had C-Web and those guys. That's not funny, Dave. I was asking if you modeled your game after C-Web. No, I didn't model my game after C-Web You know who my favorite player was That wasn't Christian Leitner

Juwan Howard No this was on Duke Steve Wojohowski Oh dude I love Bobby Hurley He put up a game one time I don't even know if it was an important game But I remember watching

He had like 0 points and 20 assists And I was like damn he's just out here dishing. I love dishing. You sure do, Dave. Well, your dish, your dish. Is that it? I tried to DM Chris Harrison. I panicked. We had

some potential worse weekend, but I think we're going to skip it this week. I'll be honest. I forgot to put out the tweet last night asking for the stories and I think we can

we can end it here and feel good about today's episode I feel great about it I think it's been a good Monday episode and I can also

use it next week email will at washmedia.com and I will put it in my little folder and I will take note of it again that's will at washmedia.com, and I will put it in my little folder, and I will take note of it. Again, that's will at washmedia.com.

Send me your worst weekend story. I actually had something I could have steamed on, and I didn't. I paid money for a pay-per-view event on Saturday, Errol Spence, Mikey Garcia. I support Errol Spence, and I want him to get those pay-per-view buys. And I just wanted to say that the Fox Sports pay-per-view presentation, their entire boxing team was unbelievably bad. And it made me sad that we don't have HBO anymore doing boxing, even though I ripped them for their treatment of Triple G during the Canelo stuff. Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman, Roy Jones.

I don't like Max Kellerman. You know, I don't necessarily like him that much either, especially on first take or whatever it is. But, dude, their boxing presentation is so much better. Well, you could tell that they really liked boxing. Yeah. Like, that's what I always thought was good about them. It was clunky.

I didn't watch as much as I used to. This whole thing, it's like, dude, if I'm spending 75 bucks, the audio was bad. It was freaking weird, man. That's not what you want on a payday. No. Butrol spence strap season now i don't want to release this episode if i'm gonna get fried for me complaining you're gonna get fried i tried to let you walk it back a number of times no i'm not gonna walk it back i'll walk it back this isn't okay in my final statement regarding that this is not this has nothing against against the vets or the vet techs themselves.

They have been phenomenal throughout everything. But I don't need the pomp and circumstance in the waiting room when I'm already getting my dick kicked in. It doesn't make me feel better. Well, not everybody's getting their dick kicked in in the vet. Maybe some, you know. I don't know. Don't you dare edit anything out.

I'm not going to. The only time I've edited something out is when there was a running joke that I didn't think was appropriate. And it wasn't me being old or me hooking up with sorority chicks. Yeah, that was, yeah. It was a little different than that. Well, because you're not that old. I'm a crisp 32. All right.

Let's get out of here. See you guys on Wednesday. Love you, bye. let's get out of here see you guys on Wednesday love you bye Bye.
