Welcome back.
Circling Back podcast.
Podcast, Randy.
My name is Dave.
It's Monday morning.
We've got a major show.
It's so major that we're a little bit late today.
A little late.
Dylan was kind of having some issues.
Was he?
You had to go out to your car for your Lucy's.
I did.
Yeah.
I ran out of my in-office Lucy Breakers.
so I had to step out to the vehicle ones.
How many do you have in the vehicle at any given moment?
I usually just keep one little...
What do you call those things?
A can?
Can?
Yeah.
Okay.
One little can in there.
One little can in there.
One little can in.
And when it runs out, I just replace it.
Randy Trebaki.
Gonna produce over there.
Hi, Dave.
Feeling good.
I'm in my Roeback Purdue gear.
Let me just tell you, Sweet 16.
So I'm ready to go.
House divided over there.
Turn those up.
Turn those back up.
What are you talking about?
I'm not doing anything.
You're so obnoxious.
You do it so emphatically.
I hate it.
You're so annoying, dude.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Man,
just when Purdue thought he was out,
they pulled him back in.
I'm very excited moving on.
It's just going to be a good time.
And hey,
it's all good sportsmanship here.
No one's,
we're not talking any shit.
So we're just having some fun times.
Don't say it's all good sportsmanship.
He's not.
doing any verbal any verbal shit talking it's all hand gesturing it's so stupid that's like his bit
hey i'm i'm excited you're not allowed to do that they'll throw a flag on you if you throw that
do you think they'll call a foul yeah they'll tee you up not anymore that was the thing that's the
thing of the past thank goodness people stopped complaining about it it was it was incredibly embarrassing
okay but do you know that that was a rule put forth by the big 12 not by you know
University of Texas.
Yeah.
Who is the power player in the Big 12?
I don't think they have that kind of pool.
They get just one hand gesture.
I think it was...
Texas didn't have pool in the Big 12?
No, no.
They have pool, but it's not like they didn't make a rule just for one university in a conference
with like 16 teams.
Talking about hand gestures and pull.
This is what I think about fucking Texas Longhorns, you know what I'm saying?
Okay.
Now you're getting now the sportsmanship's kind of going out of the window.
I didn't say anything.
You know, he should make fun of it more than anyone is Sam Ellinger for his tweet about
the horns down.
Ooh, I remind me.
It said, like, I remember every single person who does the horns down, and I make a note,
and I, it was so fucking.
There's no way that's accurate, because so many people do it.
You can't remember everybody.
Hey, well, Sam, remember this.
Okay.
Where's he at these days?
I want to find it.
He's still getting a paycheck.
I know.
He was on the Colts roster.
All right.
Dylan Shivery.
I remember every single team player that disrespects the rich tradition of the University of Texas by putting the horns down.
Do not think it will be forgotten in the future.
Stop.
That's a bad. That's a bad.
That's a stop.
That was peak.
Like, all right, guys, we need to calm the fuck down.
Just a hand gesture.
Anyway, thank you.
I'm happy to be here.
It's going to be a great show this week.
This comes to us from our friend Daniel Whitaker on Instagram.
He said, I have a good, a sick Purdue burn for you.
Oh, shit.
All right.
Let's hear it.
Okay.
Purdue more like per don't oh oh shit it's the first time I've heard that one and I said damn
that's gold so I I'm sharing it that's not from me that's from Daniel I would never say
if I had a if I was a longhorn fan I'd be like I'm about to go take a huge Purdue do that dude that's
good bathroom humor that's real good that's good too no you're the better team though for sure you
are going to win here's this game's already over will was talking about like
Like, I'm the number two seed.
Like, I shouldn't be talking shit.
Which, first of all, I haven't talked.
Checks out number two seed, right?
I haven't talked to any shit.
It's actually quite good.
I don't know what he's talking about.
But also, like I've said in the past decade or so, Purdue has lost multiple times when they should have been a better team.
You guys got a good squad, man.
You got a little white guys running around filling up the bucket.
Yeah, all-time assist leader NCAA.
Is that right?
Yeah.
broke it last game.
Who was previous?
More than Pistol Pete?
Is it Pistol Pete Maravitch?
I think it was.
He was nice with it, man.
He's dropping dimes.
Braden Smith.
Like Pete.
Might have been Davion Mitchell.
I think he broke in the first game.
Maybe Matt McQuade.
Might have been Davian Rough.
Hey, you want to know,
you know, the crazy stat here?
Crazy stat.
His first ever assist was to Trey Kaufman,
run his teammate in the
the assist that he had to break the record was the same guy.
Is that pretty cool?
Oh,
that's crazy,
man.
Well,
that's our sports section.
Sorry,
Texas has a dope hand gesture.
The dopest hand gesture of all college hand gestures.
Boiler up.
Is that what y'all do?
No,
Texas,
I really do like text,
the gun.
That's cool.
That's a cool one.
I think when we're responsibly used,
firearm,
they're useful.
There it is.
Now,
Dylan's understanding how fun it is to do it.
Are you going to tell people what you're saying about tech before the pod?
No, I was, I'll tell you exactly what I said.
I hope Landry's listening.
I hope Aztec guy's listening.
Every time you say Aztec guy, it sounds like you're saying Aztec guy.
Ashtat guy.
Okay.
A.k.a. Gark.
No, I'm, I said I'm leaving that one alone because I respect our friends out Lovic way, all right?
They were.
A&M got absolutely ran through the other night.
and I did make fun of them in the group chat,
but Tech had a pretty ugly game.
They were down a man.
I let it be.
They had a very big injury this season,
and that was unfortunate.
Listen, it's tough to make it to the sweet 16.
Only 16 teams can make it.
That's the thing about it.
That's right.
Maybe this is the year.
Texas wins their first men's national championship.
No, no, no.
In basketball.
Look, Texas is playing with house money.
They're not supposed to be here.
Why?
What do you mean?
They've got the new coach.
They've got their NIL budget.
Texas was a very average SEC team.
Big, not the biggest.
A very average SEC team, stumbled down the stretch, lost to Ole Miss and the SEC
turning first round.
But it's the University of Texas, though.
You have this underlying hatred for Texas, and it comes out every now and then.
You like to hide it.
It's the universe.
I can't point out that, like, University of Texas, are they not a blue blood?
I thought they were a blue blood.
Not in basketball.
Brian Boddick.
Brian Boddaker, Chris Owens.
Look, Texas is a program.
of vast research, a university of vast resources.
The NIL funding, the NIL funding is fantastic.
But not the, not, there's some teams out there dropping like 20 mil.
Go to Kentucky.
It's crazy.
Texas is not spinning with the big dogs.
No, no, they're in a tier under.
Football, absolutely.
Maybe you too.
So, I mean, look, it's, it's been a, I'm just trying to, look.
It's been a very pleasant postseason for Texas.
I'm just being devil's advocate.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just trying to advocate for the devil here.
Okay.
And a lot of people are like, all right, we don't, look, they've already got, they have to look
at Arch Manning Jersey.
They know you're going to be on here sucking off Texas.
I'm not sucking.
I'm not sucking.
I'm not sucking off half of Texas over here.
I'm not even sucking.
Am I sucking?
So I've just, I've just playing.
And everybody knows.
A team playing with house money is a dangerous team, Randy.
Expectations are all on the produce side.
They're playing good ball.
They're playing good ball.
But Purdue's a great team.
Yeah.
Gonzaga retired, bitch.
Huh?
Gensaga, comma.
Retire bitch.
I'm just...
Okay.
All right.
Either way, I'm looking forward to it.
I'm not going to actually talk any shit because I know Purdue could lose very easily.
They could.
We'll see.
The game starts zero, zero.
They could lose.
They could score fewer points in Texas.
That is definitely in the realm of possibility.
But, you know, it's probably not going to happen.
Purdue's great.
Texas is just happy to be there at this point.
But y'all going to come up here and do like a, y'all should do like the barstool thing
where y'all both have to sit next to each.
other and watch it.
It's electric chair or whatever.
Thursday night.
Guys like me,
I'll just,
I'll just like poke and prod each,
each team.
And I will pick who I'm rooting for once it's clear who is going to win.
Here's the problem is that Dylan isn't the biggest,
uh,
UT basketball fan and he doesn't really care if they win or not.
I'm also,
I'm also like the biggest like Purdue,
like pessimist ever.
So it wouldn't even be good content.
You really are.
I'd be happy of Texas one.
Like I said,
the season has,
it's been a success.
You care more about football.
No, this is, this is big.
This is Texas, this has worked out.
This is year one of Sean Miller.
Dude, I love Sean Miller.
He's the sweaty's guy involved.
He's electric.
He has, he gives the best on court in post game interviews.
It's great.
He's just really honest.
I mean, we probably talked about it, but no, I guess we didn't because that game was Thursday.
But the way like when that BYU game, they're like, so what you got to do is slow down to Bantia?
He's like, I, you know, we really can't.
We can't.
We can't.
He said there's nothing we can do with that.
I was trying to read into it.
I was like watching.
I was like, is he like doing, is he being facetious here?
Dude, every possession.
But he was it.
He was being dead ass.
Every possession was hero ball.
They just gave him the ball at the top of the key.
He's a 6-10.
He plays like a point guard.
He's 6-10.
He's insane.
And they just clear out and he just goes to the rack.
And it's like double triple teams and he's scoring.
The guy's unreal.
But they didn't play very good defense.
He's low-key, nice with it.
Yeah.
Their defense was lacking big time.
And that's, that's ball talk.
I'm excited.
It's been it's been it was a really fun weekend of a basketball. Hey more like per don't
can do it up for that I don't know that's how I'm doing he's doing the this is the Purdue things
I'm doing it like a fucking donkey punch over here turning turnin I'm turning butters this way I can't
really show how what is turning butter? I'm mixing a PPD like like what's his face did
They're boasting this room.
No, you've told that on here before.
Yeah, but nobody remembers that.
Hey, announcement.

the reason for canceling.

Oh, that's something.
Hey, shout out to a backer, Kelsk,
I don't know if she's opto, but she walked here on Friday.
Oh, yeah.
I go back or walk over here from...
She said the lake.
She got to meet...
That's long.
She got to meet parks, too.
That was a huge bonus.
Oh, yeah, she left.
Dylan pulled in and she was walking out, and I went out and yelled at her.
She was like, she probably wants to meet Dylan.
She was very polite.
She was very nice.
And when she saw parks get out of the car, she's like, oh, I'm sorry.
I'll let you guys be like, no, you can say hi.
Well, you came inside and you're like, dude, I can't believe she just addressed me when I had my kid with me.
No, no, no.
It's fun.
It's fun for me.
Now the Parks is, it wouldn't even bother me, and he was like a little kid.
But now that he, like, he understands what we do and we have people out there who listen,
it's fun for him to meet people who support the show.
He's like, oh, my, these people know who my dad is.
And it's cool for him.
You know?
And he was texting the boys, like, my dad's got gossop.
My dad's kind of a big deal.
My dad just got gossed up.
Bro, right?
She was not how Parks talks.
She was a very nice young lady.
I can't wait until Parks gets a little vocal fry going.
Dude, I'm going to put a stop to it immediately.
We had a backer coming today.
A service member.
I don't want to give away as information.
I don't know if he's still, if he's on active.
He was here.
I'm just joking.
Yeah, he was here.
Left with the shirt.
Left with the shirt.
Lots of the shirt.
Good dude.
Drove down out from out North Carolina way.
Not, I didn't drive here just to come to the studio.
He was his family.
Yeah, he was here for a road trip, the Great American Road trip.

reality television no she needs to lay loaf a little bit
maybe talk to a therapist or something.

Maybe better help.
Then, uh, is that a good time to do one?
I don't think we have better help today.
Oh, you do?
Oh, we do.
I don't know if they want to be.
We'll do a, we'll put some time between that.
Because right now, it's time to recap this weekend in a fun.
Bro, let's go out this weekend.
There's a crazy event happening.
I like to turn off.
Bro, there's a crazy event happening.
We had the party and it was lit.
I got yelled out by a pro.
Let's just go have fun and let go with it.
This weekend and fun, presented by Poncho outdoors.
We're the Poncho pod of record.
We're the poncho boys.
I might be Poncho's number one fan, TBH.
I love poncho.
Everybody knows that.
I'm still messing with the flannels.
I'm still the Western shirt, the Marfa.
Is it the Marfa?
It's the Marfa.
That's the light wash one.
Yeah.
sick. I like that one. It's in the rotation. It's a winter play, but it's also a spring and summer
play. So what I'm saying is 3.65, that one works. Well, they also have the lighterweight ones. Brett's a
big fan. He wears them all the time. The lighter weight, which would be perfect for this time of
year, as it's getting a little bit warmer. Also, the hoodie, the very lightweight hoodie that I've
been talking about. Now is it perfect time to bust that thing out. Yeah, bust it out. The denim,
I love denim shirts. They've got them. Pearl Snap. Wear all the time. Wear to, uh, the
The restaurants.
Their t-shirt.
I'll wear it bowling.
I'll wear it on a date with my wife.
I'll wear it on a date with your girlfriend, talking to anybody out there.
I don't date other girls.
Yeah.
That's not true.
No, a day doesn't do that.
But if I did, I'd wear that shirt.
Yeah, it's a sharp shirt.
That's what he would wear.
How about that?

Randy.
Hi, Dave.
What did you do besides send me Instagram videos all weekend?
It wasn't all weekend.
You sent me a number of them.
Dave, you know that I have some people need a,
I need an investigative journalism to go into this whole,
life insurance sale.
Ah, yeah.
Situation.
We talk more about it, but
there's something there.
Randy's on to it.
Randy's about to doge the life insurance industry.
Every single one of these companies
are just like the most young,
impressional men that just look like
just like the worst people ever.
And they're apparently
excited boys.
Making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Like, these people seem like losers.
It doesn't sound like it.
Maybe I'm just a hater, but it looks like the worst place ever.
What was that?
Both of my ankles popped numerous times just now.
Are you okay?
I'm just a very poppy individual.
Is that because I crossed you over recently?
No, my ankles feel fine.
There's pop, man.
So anyways, this weekend, Friday went to a little happy hour with,
with Brett and James.
Then I went home because I was hanging out the ex,
the ex-roommate, that is.
he came over to watch the Purdue game.
We watched Purdue game and it was good.
Then we watched a movie because we still have to finish the last season of Jack Ryan,
but we both got to it.
We're like,
we're halfway through it.
We're like,
this just isn't a really good season.
Do you either of us want to like move on and like finish it?
I don't remember what it was.
It was like this now Jack Ryan was the deputy director of the CIA and him,
he's like trying to like clean up the CIA and there's like some.
They need to be cleaned up.
Yeah, like there's some like off books stuff happening.
No way.
There's like a triad stuff, like an Asian triad that's like running stuff.
Was it the Lexington triad?
That's the only one I care about.
Fucking frat.
You don't know shit about that, dude.
You know, you're not a part of it.
You can't name all three.
It was confusing and not really that entertaining.
If you're outside, you wouldn't understand it.
Let's go somewhere else.
We'll just watch a movie.
And we watched a war movie called a forgotten battle.
It was fine.
It was a World War II movie.
So, but we figured out.
We're like, we, we usually want to keep these, these shows up and stuff since we were watching
Reacher, more on that later, uh, and peacemaker.
So you were watching Reacher and Ryan?
We want, we finished Reacher and then we went to Jack Ryan.
Double Jack?
Double Jack.
Back to Back to Back Jacks.
Both Tom Clancy?
You know what thing about that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Double Jack.
Yeah, I've been sick before.
But we said, uh, we now have our, we have our timeline of what we're going to do for our next
shows. We're going to do Band of Brothers, the Pacific, Generation Kill, and then maybe watch
like warfare. Can I tell you just to move Generation Kill to the front there?
Should we? Yeah. Yeah. Because I've seen Band of Brothers, but I haven't seen the other two.
As someone who didn't serve in the military, I think you should do that. Okay. I'll talk to Jason.
Well, we'll get it going. So that was pretty much Friday. And then Saturday went to go see Project
Hail Mary with James Omar, Nick. And was it dope. It was pretty good. It was pretty good. It was pretty
close to the book. I enjoyed it a lot. Like all the stuff that they left out from the book,
I thought wasn't really that necessary to like help the audience. Oh, I, I audio book.
Did James cry? I listen. This guy hears. No, he already has seen it. So. Of course. Yeah.
Did he camp out the night before. Is he the type of dude that like looks at you to see if you're
going to react to a certain scene or he's like, because he's already seen. He's like, no, no. He
totally doesn't do that.
This next scene is crack
Dude, crack
Oh, but
No, it was a good movie
Go watch it
If you're a book reader
I think it was pretty true
To the book
Some people are complaining
That they dumb down
The characters a little bit
But I mean, I still really enjoyed it
Good visuals
Seeing it IMAX was cool
Good Vigis
It was kind of nice
Actually seeing an IMAX
Movie not in the front row
Like last time
That's me on the front row
At IMAX
Wow, this is awesome.
These jets are crazy.
All right.
And then Sunday was just kind of a,
I finally got to like unpack from Hawaii and just do a bunch of,
oh, I mean, sorry, Hawaii and do a bunch of laundry and just catch up on a bunch of stuff out around the house, which I really needed.
You just walked around your home, just spraying ketchup everywhere.
What the fuck's wrong with you?
Weird.
That was my weekend.
That made more laundry.
Yeah.
I kept it away from, no, I was all over the walls and stuff, not on my clothes.
I knew a guy in college.
You know him?
His girlfriend, it's fine.
His girlfriend, at the time, got real hammered and got a bottle of red wine and just opened it and just, she's mad.
I just started flinging red wine all over his room, Oliver's clothes.
That's so fucked up, dude.
Yeah, it was like.
Red wine, not easy to get out of stuff, turns out.
No.
At all.
Not cool.
Yikes.
Dylan.
I had a pretty fantastic weekend.
Friday took Parks a little batting practice.
and he picked up a bad habit, and I had him tweak it a little bit.
Is he smoking again?
Yeah.
No, he was, did he keeps like, he throws his hands back like that before he swings?
What a wasted motion.
I got rid of it.
I say, we're going from here straight to the ball.
And it made a big difference that he had a great BP session.
And then we had practice yesterday morning.
And when he has practice after a session like that, it's like a game change for him.
He was bouncing around practice, just a lot of confidence.
It's really fun for me.
It's a really fun time.
I'm officially in T-ball instructor Instagram,
where I'm getting served videos on like hitting drills and fielding drills for like
four and five-year-olds.
And some of them were actually really helpful.
Yeah.
Some of them I'm like,
misses a little much.
Yeah.
But it's fun.
It's fun.
Like when they start to like get it.
Anyway, it was,
it was fun for me.
Friday night,
Chelsea and I stepped out for a little dinner.
We went to a little place called Maddo Rancho.
Okay, good.
You guys really branched out a little bit.
She knows that I have to go to mats every now and then I just have to.
And so she's like, all right, we can do mats.
Did she hug the guy with the gold rings?
Yeah.
That was fun.
I spent a lot of time watching some basketball and a lot of Texas baseball.
Texas took the series from Auburn in Auburn.
Really cool ballpark, by the way.
They've got a good team, too.
That was fun.
Cook steak Friday night, or Saturday night, sorry.
And then yesterday, Chelsea and I, we needed to get a swim off.
We tried to go to Barton Springs, and we couldn't.
Because the line, just to check in was like a hundred deep.
Parking lot was just swarming with cars just waiting for a spot.
So we pivoted.
What time is this?
It was two.
Okay.
Yeah, I knew that it was probably not going to work.
You got to go late morning, right?
It's like you really want to get there without the...
You can get there for 11.
You're in a good spot usually, but yeah, it was so crowded.
So actually, we texted Brett in the way back and said, can we use your pool?
And he let us in his pool.
And we went and chilled there for an hour and a half.
And it was great, great situation at Brett's place.
And like I said, Parks had baseball practice yesterday morning.
And then, uh, yeah, that's that, man.
It was a, it was a nice, nice weekend.
this weekend.
So last week was spring breaks.
So the boys didn't have any T-ball games.
But we did get a couple of slots for practice.
So we had a Thursday night and then a Sunday morning.
Thursday, we showed up.
There was three kids there.
So three kids, three dads.
It was great, though.
The evening was very nice.
That was our Thursday.
I'll have a little bit more on this in a future Seg.
Friday came up here
watched some ball
had some
had a nice little Friday
went home
did a little dinner then went over to
one of Rhodes teammates and buddies
dad's had some dudes over
he is a
he's a fan of
like the wife went to
Miami he's a St.
he's a New York guys with St. John's fan
just watch ball
had some beers, had some Zah,
Via,
chopped it up a bit, went home, got home a little late.
Going to be honest, got home after midnight.
Just a little late.
But that's okay.
Damn, dude.
Saturday,
very lazy day, outside stuff,
a little T-ball, a little BP in the backyard.
Then we went to Matt's, Mattel Ranchos.
Oh, Matt all ranchos.
Oh, quick Sam Taylor.
Just a one.
With the whole fam.
And we use the online thing again.
It freaking works, man.
It does work.
We went at like 5, 515.
Got in, got the main room.
And it was great.
Everybody cooperated.
Sam wanted to go do laps.
So I was just walking him around.
Wanted to go look at the little fish pond.
We went and looked.
Matt's was very approachable this weekend.
It was a good weekend to go.
I think it was because we went right before the Texas game Saturday that maybe a lot of people stayed home.
But very easy to get into.
Had a couple beers.
Went home and exactly won Guinness.
In bed early.
I was tired, man.
And yesterday we had the early practice in the morning.
We had five kids to show up.
which is fine.
That just means more reps for the boys.
That's all that means.
Roach doesn't get tired of hitting.
I'm watching him hit.
I'm like,
you should rest,
save a little.
And he's like,
no.
He could hit off that tea all day.
He's married to the game at this point.
I mean,
yeah,
he's got some things working.
He's got to really working on getting the elbow a little high
and getting the shoulder down low,
the front shoulder,
a little dipped.
He's hitting the ball very well.
He's about to be hitting the ball out of the backyard.
So he's going to be very,
very sad when he finds out we can't go on the backyard off and hit off the tea so sick it is sick
but he's gonna he's gonna be sad we do have a net which we will use at some point um
hit some golf balls over the weekend watch ball um got a pump in it was good it's just hot man
it's very hot um and it just worries me because it's it's march um and we're about to like
We're already at the point where, like, roads didn't want to.
Like, he's like, I was like, you want to go outside, ride bikes or something?
He's like, it's hot.
I'm like, dude, you're five.
You're not supposed to get hot, you know?
But he did.
Spring just started.
But great weekend.
Good time.
Wait for that lifetime pool to open up.
It's not?
No.
Come on.
I know.
I know.
And that's that.
Last night did a random Game of Thrones.
Still doing the rewatch.
I mean, are you going to do a whole rewatch?
Do you need a new show?
There's some storylines I don't want to watch again.
Like, I don't want to watch Calisi get bogged down in Slavers Bay or whatever it was.
And then I also don't want to rewatch fucking Tion, just get tortured for eight episodes.
Reek?
Yeah, I'm just not trying.
No offense.
No, no spoilers.
I just, I don't really, like, I don't want to sign up for that.
So, like, I found myself, like, fast forwarding.
And I'm like, this is stupid.
Just find a new show.
I've heard Paradise.
Alyssa's watching Paradise on Hulu,
not Paradise as in like Pacheloretize in Paradise.
Right.
A show called Paradise.
I've had it recommended.
There's a backer who reached out and said,
we should watch it.
I don't know why,
but apparently that's good.
So I might start that.
So that's that.

Let's do this day segment.
More people that, and if you're in the chat and you haven't voted yet, go and vote.
So we're saving it for that.
Stay in line.
What?
To vote.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a callback.
So I mentioned that we had T-ball and it was we were short on kids.
So the way that usually works, we do some fielding.
We do some hitting in the cage and then we go out and the kids typically in practice
with a little scrimmage.
That's how that goes.
I think that's pretty normal.
Well, with only three kids, three kids and then five kids, respectively.
We had three dads and five dads.
So we did a little dads versus kids.
Okay, we're playing five and six year olds, but get to go out in the field a little bit and play baseball.
So I'm playing.
I got to play some second, got to play some short.
I had a lot of fun doing it.
These kids, like they, even though they're young, a lot of them on a small field, they can still hit you a ground ball that comes in at you pretty hot.
And this was a realization I had.
I know I'm, how old are you?
I'm 42 years old.
I'm 41.
Yeah.
Okay.
I really had to think about that earlier.
I couldn't remember how old I was.
I'm about to be 42.
Just playing routine like second base versus like a kid hitting off a T.
Or like then I'm playing when I'm playing toss like before practice.
this with roads, I realized how like absolutely washed my body is. And I can still throw. I can still
feel the ground ball that comes right to me. But if I have to move for it and bend down,
dude, I have no. I was just about to say the move that makes me feel the most wash is when I have
to bend down to either my left or my right to field a ground ball. I can't get down.
Dude, it's it's the weirdest fucking thing.
It's like it just gets down there and it's like, and I do like a laugh.
I like laugh because I'm like, that's so pathetic.
It's because that movement you used to make it easily like easily.
And so when you bend down that way, you think, oh, this is just a routine.
But then your body just won't cooperate.
And it's like, oh, oh, I'm actually, I'm getting older.
Yeah.
It's so weird.
I don't know if it's hamstring flexibility.
I don't know what it is.
but that's the move dude trying to reach down to ground ball or a ball that's like i don't it's funny
crazy i almost brought this up a few weeks ago because i had i had a moment like that i was like
oh my god yeah what is happening to my body what's going on it's weird man who's aging like this
is it you yeah dude i i had i was just i couldn't believe it and i was like this is the most
I don't do a lot of
outside of golf
when you can feel like,
oh man,
I can't make that swing anymore.
You know,
you feel that a little bit.
But like this in like a sport,
we were doing something
that you used to be able to do
pretty routinely.
I was like,
oh my God.
Yeah.
This,
like I could see myself getting hurt.
Like if I was,
if I were to really try to go out one.
Yeah.
I don't know,
man.
That was tough.
Weird.
So anyway,
like,
yeah,
The dads are out there and we're doing like the, you don't want to like, you don't want to like blow these kids away.
But also like you don't want the kids to, you want to make them work a little bit.
So like they're hitting a ball and like I'm getting it and you're double clutching it.
You want to make the routine play.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't want to die for anything and like really show them up.
But if the ball's hit to you, you want to make a play on it.
Yeah.
That being said, dude, I was flashing the leather.
Yeah.
Straight off.
If it was hit,
if it was hit right to me,
no,
dad's making the boy.
So many of the dads in our little league,
they play in a men's league together.
Like a lot of them do.
And I'm tempted to,
I'm tempted to get out there,
but the time commitment's a lot.
I don't think I have that in me.
Also,
I have the yep still.
It was,
it was just fun,
like fielding a ground ball
and making a throw to first.
Yeah,
fuck yeah.
I was like,
oh,
that was cool.
Yeah.
Uh,
I will say,
like,
I haven't hit a ball off a,
T on a field.
Like, in the backyard sometimes, we'll play, we'll do a little BP or I'll toss it up with
the bat, you know, choke up on the bat and just, but hitting off a T, I didn't know,
like, I don't want to, like, hit like a little dribbler, but I also, like, don't want to hit
it too hard.
It's hard to dial back.
Well, I learned that because I definitely, on Thursday night, I peeled a rope right at the shortstop,
dude.
I mean, it was
just thinking,
I was using it
one of the bigger kids' bats.
It was like a 20,
27 inch or whatever,
26,
20,
bigger than Rhodes and like
thicker barrel.
And I hit,
as soon as I hit it,
I was like,
oh,
I did like that,
oh.
Yeah.
Kind of,
and I was like,
count that one.
Yeah.
But yeah.
It's,
it was fun.
Not saying I want to join a softball league,
but I do kind of
just want to go out and like take some reps at second base.
Football leagues are fun, man.
Yeah.
I was in one.
It felt good.
Like,
it felt good instinctually knowing where to go in the field, like where to,
where to cover and stuff,
which is basic,
you know,
day two baseball stuff.
But I was like,
oh yeah.
That's,
this is,
this brought back some memories.
It was fun getting out there a little bit.
Yeah.
I love going to his practices,
man.
I get to mix up a little bit.
Also,
like,
I will say like,
from like, I get how people get hurt in like men's leagues and softball leagues when they haven't
played in forever.
And like the moment they make contact with the ball and drop the bat and like that first
move to first base, it's the hamstrings.
Dude, you like, there's just an instinctual like hard like move to first.
And you got to be careful because isn't that how Dan busted his hamstring?
And that's how I like both of my quads got really cramped up.
Yeah.
I felt a little something to my, I was standing at first at first.
after that, I felt my quad, not like hurting,
but I could feel it like a little bit cramping.
It's the last time you sprinted, like all out.
Not in a game.
As a 40 plus year old.
No.
We haven't sprinted in such a long time.
I mean, the Grand X Combine legit might be the last time I've sprinted.
Yeah, I fell on my face.
You know?
I put my dick in the dirt.
But it's the hamstrings.
They're like, they're not used to like the quick twitch, like take off.
Yeah, that's what it is.
It's the quick, the quick twitch.
Yeah.
You really need a stretch beforehand and you're not,
not stretching beforehand.
Like, oh, your toes.
It'll hurt.
It'll hurt.
Yeah.
Welcome, man.
Damn, dude, those ground balls.
The one, dude, it's the ones to my, to my left where I'm just, the lateral movement is
just non-existent.
Dude, the range of motion is just track.
It's just track.
And I'm like, I'm reaching down trying to do like a hop it, like on the hop, grab
the snag real cleanly.
And it just goes right under my glove.
And I'm like, no.
She can't get down.
I'm sorry.
buddy, I got to go chase that ball down.
Anyway.
Did you guys win?
You know, man, we're keeping score, but I mean, you know.
I did the, I did let, I did the thing where, like, Rhodes Field at a ball, a
second, and I was running for first a second.
I did the slow run, let him tag me.
Dude, bad team.
He was all excited.
Bad teammates.
Good dad, but bad teammates.
I know.
I mean, I was like, dude, what do I do?
I teach them, like, make it easy for him, like, let him, like, let him, like, let him
or do I like teach him a lesson that like he's still got it he's still got to practice hard if you
ever wants to be able to take out a 41 year old man I would love being the dad in the dugout
that it was taking the game way too serious like what are you doing run they're out there dude
and here's another problem not a problem good problem like season two t-ball in at this age
there's a big jump in how the kids throw like a lot of the kids most the kids on the team they can
throw the ball better. Like, you just see it. You're like, oh, yeah, you can make that throw from
short to first or definitely from second to first, like in the air, like a real baseball play.
Problem is there's like one kid on the team who has a chance at catching it. Yeah.
So there's like the, okay, like yeah, you want them to make the heart the throw and learn to
play baseball and use their skills and grow their skills. Also, like the teams that have the kids
who throw the ball short and roll it to the first baseman, they're going to, they're going to be the
teams to get the outs.
And there was a team last year, we played them in the playoffs.
They were intentionally throwing the ball short and rolling it up, and it just felt dirty.
I don't like that.
And they were getting outs.
You got to teach him the right way to do it.
But it is funny because, like, everyone's throwing it better.
And that first baseman just has no shot.
He's just like, look.
Dude, up until like eight years old, at least that's just William Parks is like, if you put
the ball in play, like you're going to get on base.
They just, they don't, they just can't make a play.
Now they're making plays.
Yeah.
It's funny.
also catching batting practice
or not batting practice
catching like bullpen
which I am usually stuck with that
at practice
I'm gonna need a catcher's mitt at some point
like it's they're throwing hard now
and really like it hurts my hand
yeah some of these kids they'll throw pretty
pretty hard
get you catchers mitt at home
I just use one of the other ones around
I think one of the dads has one
it'd be funny if Dylan comes in here one day
just hand wrapped up
dude there's this kid there's a sixth grader
Parks' team who just fucking hums it.
Are they putting anything on the ball or is he just basically throwing strikes?
There are a couple kids who have a curveball.
They don't really break.
It just looks different from a fastball.
And then because that's it's somewhat effective.
But yeah, maybe I'll come out and I'll show my circle change that I used to throw.
Yeah.
The one you got Sheldon?
No.
I never watched that show.
Young Sheldon.
The hard's hard to watch when young children.

Also, Thad Castle from Blue Mountain State.
The big dude.
The big dog.

War Machine, which I think is on Nettie right now.
Is that with The Rock?
No.
Oh.
That's the Smashing.
That's Warhammer.
Wait, what is it?
Smashing Machine.
Yeah.
War Machine is a, it's a movie that he's the star of this movie.
and he's training to become a green beret i believe sick and like the last the last mission they go on
before like you cross the finish line to become a green beret you have to like destroy this this dummy
jet that's gone down in the jungle somewhere anyway while they're out there they encounter a
a war machine that was sent here from another planet and it's like an AI killing mass
massive machine that just hunts these people down.
And it's not supposed to be there.
They just like stumble upon it.
And they think it's first part of like the training exercise.
And it's not because it just starts killing everyone in the unit.
And of course he is like the hero of the of the story.
Okay.
Sounds sick.
It's it's it's being criticized for bad acting and a stupid storyline.
But I mean it's it's like a fun.
I thought it was a fun watch.
So it's a straight to Netflix.
Netflix original film.
Yeah, but I thought it was a fun watch.
So, dude, he's kind of in like this,
if you could get it,
like he's in that,
that,
that,
I don't know about Vin Diesel.
Vin Diesel,
he was fast franchise,
but like that,
that,
career arc of like,
all right,
you're the big swole dude.
You're just going to play like really dope,
military.
Yeah.
Arnold.
Arnold and like,
Stallone.
Arnold,
but just like he's like in,
he's always going to be like,
What was that?
A Mark Wahlberg career arc where it's like, yeah, dude, you're just going to be like a guy.
You're like a down on his luck ex-Navy seal or like, yeah, you're going to be a green beret.
So he's just always working with a trainer, nutrition, probably juiced up.
And he just walks around.
He's just like, yeah, I'm that guy.
He was in that one movie with Henry Cavill.
Ungentlemanly Warfare.
That was an awesome movie.
It was good.
I got to see that.
Oh, it's really good.
It's about a secret, like, covert World War II mission that these.
that these guys went on.
And he played just like the swole badass.
He plays the same role in everything, and he's really good at it.
Anyway, he beat up some guy.
He beat up some dude.
I don't know the story behind this.
There's a video from TMZ that's been posted.
So from what I read, Richson has been riding around on motorcycle.
With his two sons, I believe.
Yeah.
They're loud.
They're motorcycles.
He's in Tennessee.
And this neighbor has had a run in with him where he flipped him off and is mad about the
sound. It's daytime, by the way. Blue sky. And this time, it escalated to a physical confrontation.
Play the video. Yeah. Yeah, it's just, he's just, I don't know about beating some of the front of your
kids, man. They're just sitting on their dirt bikes just watching. Weird to turn your back to again.
And then an embarrassing moment here, the bike, he picks it up. It's down on the street and it kind of,
it kind of takes off on him. I don't know if you saw it on this video. Yeah, it's, it's weird, man.
but he's a massive
massive dude
and he's also
he's known as the guy
who just beats shit
out of everyone
and every movie
and TV show
that he's on
it's just funny
that that's a dude
you're in a fight with
okay whose bike is that
I don't know
I'd one yeah
I'm assuming that guy's
if it's in front of his car
in his house
but like then yeah
why would he be mad about the noise
I don't know the backstory here
but he beats the shit out of this dude
who honestly kind of eats it
because he gets up and walks away
and then they
they drive off on their on their bikes yeah it's not a great look to get in a fight in front of your
kids but he's like he's like the guy who just destroys people in movies and it's like you can
i don't know man i wouldn't i wouldn't pick a fight with this guy and maybe he didn't instigate it at
all but tm z says okay here here's per twitter this isn't a nashv this isn't a nashville
suburb victim said richon was riding a green kawasaki dirt bike
at high speed through the neighborhood, creating a disturbance.
Taylor, the victim, says he confronted Richardson asking for him to effing stop displeased after
similar incidents, including a middle finger exchange from the previous day.
Things escalated Taylor, ledges Richardson punched him in the face multiple times,
kicked him, including while he was down, and tried to run him off after falling off his own bike.
Two young children, Richardson's sons were nearby on their own motorbikes, on their own motorbikes as we saw.
and there has been a police report
citing assault
kind of a sorry move
by the way
I guess his helmet was off
okay good if you go like if you approach
somebody who doesn't have like a helmet on
and you go off your bike and you go find him like
it's cheating it is cheating
not that he needs any help no
he's reacher most in shape dude ever
yeah I don't know I got I just sent this to Chelsea
she's a big a big uh reacher
gal not show
necessarily, but just him. She likes him.
And we all do. I mean, that's Dad Castle.
It's Dad Castle. Yeah.
So, uh, shout out.
She thinks she's a good looking guy.
Is she into that?
I mean, he...
Big tall Jack guys. He's a pretty,
he's a pretty good looking, you know, in shape,
dude. Um,
I will say, like, it is funny
that he's just living in the burbs.
I mean, this is a very nice suburb, I will say.
But it is...
It's like one of the...
I don't know why. I just assume everybody who's on TV. It's like, oh, they go live in Hollywood.
It's like one of those no tree neighborhoods with the house is average like 5,400 square feet.
What happened to trees? Why do they get rid of all the trees?
I don't know. I just wish these neighborhoods could build around trees and not just clear everything and then build from nothing.
But, you know, I don't know. I'm not a planner. I'm not a city planner. I don't know.
These things were, I'm not a developer.
Dylan Shivry, not a city planner.
Not a developer.
Just a real estate professional.
is a professional. In my profession,
trees are a plus.
We'll continue to monitor.
There will probably be a payout of some sort.
You can't do it as a friend of your kids.
I don't know how this started,
like if this guy was like physical first,
but like, dude, kids are just sitting right there.
I don't think you get physical first when the other guy is
reacher. No, you don't.
And you have to know, right?
Like the, how big is he in real life?
Look that up, Randy.
Probably 6-4-5-5-0-5-0.
He puts up 6-4 vibes.
We'll see.
Looks like Dillon.
Alan Richson, size.
All right.
He is 6-3.
Oh, it's a big dude.
And it doesn't have a wait list to here.
I would imagine he's maybe 240, dude.
He's big.
Unit.
I like the idea of the other planet.
Like, there's just an AI machine.
They just sent it here.
Do we find out who sent it?
Like what this other planet is and stuff?
No, we didn't get that far.
But of course, he's the one who figured out how to destroy the machine
because he did it by himself using,
they, he found this like construction site, like out near the,
where the mission was taking place.
And so he used, like, machinery to, like pin this thing up against a,
like a big, like rock wall.
And he got.
Shout out the team.
Yeah.
The thing vented, like it's to like vent the heat.
And so he realized that if you if you get like debris and material into the vent,
it'll kind of shut it down and disable it.
Yeah.
So he shared that information with the military and that's how they know how to defeat these things.
That's how you take the robots out in helldivers too.
Really?
As well.
Okay.
Vents.
Wow.
I bet the writers, that's how you got to do.
The writers are gamers too.
Probably.
30 years from now, this podcast,
People are going to be, someone who listened to it will encounter an AI machine.
And they're like, oh, what are we going to do?
I'm like, oh, circling backpod.
Dude, the vents.
You got to stuff the vents.
You got to stuff them.
Got to stuff them.
Why don't you guys pick a topic?
Daddy's going to go to the men's room.
He's going to get right.
He's going to come back in here.
We're going to do some bit madness.
How about that?
Oh, shit.
Oh, are you serious?
There he goes.
There he goes.
Little bladder, Dave.
Oh, Brum.
Dude, I caught up on all the episodes from when I was out.
Dan just could not get over how much this guy has to go to the bathroom.
Yeah.
It caught him by surprise.
He's like, do we've been here for 40 minutes?
You can't sit here?
He's our little pee boy.
And we know, we wouldn't change anything about him.
No, no.
That's why he's the favorite because he just has to go peepee.
I'm probably going to talk about this tomorrow on the show,
but Parks had a school play.
two Fridays ago, and it was just a beautiful disaster,
and I can't wait to talk about it.
I can't even if I got it to talk about it last week.
I saw the picture of him as the cup.
He was.
Yeah, he played Chip.
I guess you'll get more into it,
but was he like being carted around the whole time?
Yes.
Yeah.
And at one point, at one point,
the girl who was supposed to push him out on stage
forgot to bring him out there.
And so he was stuck back.
He can't walk because he's in this little cart.
And he was like,
You forgot.
Dude, the whole thing is desperate.
He missed a scene because they forgot to bring him out on scene.
And he had a line during the scene, too.
That's great.
It was, dude, it was so funny.
Yeah, I can't.
It's going to be a fun segment, I think.
And if you ever get a chance to go to a middle school play, you just got to do it.
I was a spotlight guy for our middle school play.
He likes to be center stage, and he did not get that for me.
I was terrified to speak in front of people.
But he had a singing part.
He like a little solo singing part for like five seconds.
And I was like, dude, I've never heard you sing a second in my entire life until now.
I think I would have liked to been in our play in middle school, not in high school.
But it was a musical and I didn't want to sing at all.
Yeah.
It takes a lot of guts to sing in front of an assembly for people.
Breaking news.
Brett was in there, P.N.
I had to wait for him.
Also, somebody dropped a resume.
off while we were in the recording yeah okay will and brett talked to him so we'll look at that
was he a chiller i don't know i didn't get any intel i just he just said yeah guy just dropped off a resume
sick second time in a few months it's happened yeah putting in the putting in the work dropping it off

You guys ready for Bit Madness?
Look at this.
Yeah, boy.
I got music this year.
Because one shining moment,
you reach for the sky.
What a trash song, honestly.
I'm not going to talk trash about one shining moment.
It's trash.
Is that Micah?
That was Micah.
Absolutely.
How old is this?
One shining moment.
That was from April.
of 2018.
I went back to go find it this morning.
Wow, good, good pool.
They're not doing one shining moment anymore, are they?
I think enough people made fun of it.
They decided to put it.
So we're using these.
Bit madness.
Yes, yes.
So we got whiteboards here.
I got,
I got mine right here, Dylan.
Oh my God.
You're so fucking annoying.
It's a visual show.
I drew the horns down on it.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I took a reference from the online Google Images.
So anyways, we got the online Google Images.
The online Google Images.
So we got the bracket here.
Today we're doing...
Spoy to the folks at home.
I'm new here.
I'm a stool.
What bit madness is in general?
No, you're not.
I don't know what the show is.
What bit madness?
That's crazy.
Bit Madness.
You used to show your tiny pieces?
It's just like the basketball tournament where we go through all of our bits from the
previous year and we rank them. Well, we don't. Swarhington and the, uh, and the fans do. So
shout to Swarhington again for, uh, I'm new here. I'm a, I'm a stool. Who's Schwarzen to?
He has a fan and Reddit user that put this all together. We've been doing this. You guys have
been doing this since maybe, I think 2018 was the first year that you did it. Touch Madness is what
it was called. So what? Going through. Why was it called Touch Madness? I'm new here. I'm a
Dooley, what's touch madness?
Because there was an old podcast called Touching Base that you guys were a part of
and it was called Touch Madness.
Okay, dude, a lot of context needed for this one.
So anyways, we're just going to go through.
There's a bracket of all the bits.
And this year, each one of our votes counts as a point.
And we have had the listeners vote along with us and they count as two points.
They get lots of pool now.
Yeah.
So the onus could be on the listeners.
The onus.
All right.
Give me the onus.
So today we are just doing the first half of round one.
It's wrong with you.
Tomorrow will be the second half of round one.
Wednesday will be all of round two.
And then Thursday will be the Sweet 16.
Because Jeff and I realized the guy that put together all the voting,
that we can't really have the listeners participate in the voting if we do everything on the last day.
So Thursday will be Sweet 16 and then Monday will be Elite 8 Final 4 in championship and we'll have a different kind of voting system for that that everyone will be able to be a part of.
So be looking on the socials.
I'll continue posting the links for when you guys can vote because every round we'll need you guys to vote.
Good work.
Shout out to everybody who.
Yes.
Had a say in this.
Nice team effort here.
Yeah.
So let's move to this round one first.
match up.
It's palpable.
Number one, alien allergy voice versus number 16, Dan bringing protein powder.
A one seed, huh?
So I'm going to go ahead and just right now.
Man, I remember one of these things not being very well received and the other one being extremely well received.
So I don't know.
It's going to be close.
This is going to be close.
Dan, you'll remember, brought protein powder in.
And we, did we dry scoop it?
What did we do?
We dry scooped it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a fun, a fun exercise.
Hey, by the way, protein powder aside here, I did the thing where I, I mixed protein powder
with my yogurt, my, my, my scur and like a treat thing.
Yeah.
Better than expected.
Yeah.
I just, I was a little like, huh?
The powder with the, with the yogurt?
Like, I'm so used to mixing with like a hard liquid.
heavily dependent upon the flavor of the powder.
But it was great.
There's a wide range and how good those powders can taste.
It is good.
Do you put the little blueberry in there, anything?
I did blueberry, did a little honey.
It was delight, that.
Oh, boy.
It was delight, that.
Okay.
I don't even know what is under this, but okay.
All right.
I'll go first.
That is insane.
All right, go.
Alien voice.
That's good.
I am eukenax.
I want with alien voice.
I'm not familiar with that bit, but it's the one I went with.
I drew a little alien saying Zyrtec.
So I'm new here.
I'm a stoolie.
What is going on?
Are you trying to get that added to the next year's bit madness already?
Like, what is wrong?
You got bad allergies and Austin.
You were out on Histed means, dog.
Oh, man.
He's really like that.
You just said that Zyrtec sounded like an alien voice and then you just started doing it.
All right.
Number one, alien allergy voice moves on.
That should be a surprise to absolutely nobody.
Oh, man.
just hit my penjuman.
All right, moving on to matchup number two.
Got me coughing like the cedar hitting.
All right.
Number nine, Lakeside Cunnelingus.
Dave's new here.
Wait, no, I swear to God, I don't know what that is.
Jake Kemp story.
Yeah, the J. Kemp story.
Oh.
It took me a while to realize that, too.
Number nine, Lakeside, Cunnelingus versus number eight,
being mad at horny Instaposts.
Oh, hold on.
I need to move.
I don't want my phone to start serving me.
I know.
Those sorority girls and their dances, I just pisses me off, Dave.
Just pisses me off.
Okay.
I'm welcome.
Of course, if you're new here, Jake, owner of a lake house, must be nice.
A while back had some people that were renting out neighbors, or no, their own place.
and the neighbor said she saw people outside
doing that act.
Older folks too.
Yeah.
Also, I mean, since we were all
unanimous, I did not reveal the
audience vote, but let's see for that first matchup.
It was
89% for alien allergy voice.
Pretty strong.
As of right now, we have 406 total votes cast.
So that was 365.
Oh man, protein powders, cheeks.
So, yeah, so of course, that was across the board.
We all alien thing.
All right.
I'm ready.
I'll go first.
Let's flip them.
I went horny, being mad at horny instaposts.
I too went mad at horny.
Ooh, I went Lakeside Lingus.
Okay.
So the onus.
The onus is on the listeners.
All right.
Lakeside lingus.
Being mad at Hornis.
Instapost with 80% of vote.
Wow.
Good on the listeners.
Dude, the ones I've been mad at lately that I hate.
I just don't like when like hot college athletes are served to me.
It's disgusting.
Yeah.
What are they doing?
Just trying to, you're trying to be athletes and they're serving these things to me.
I'm like, yeah.
Sexualize these.
It's a pretty pretty lady, but I don't want to see that.
Don't sexualize these really attractive, very in shape young people.
Ugh.
That pisses enough too, Dave.
Hold on a palate cleanser.
All right, we're cooking.
Let's go.
All right.
Moving on to number five,
general contractor, Dave,
versus number 12,
Dylan being the only cowboy.
Like the Austin cowboy?
Like the genuine Austin original?
I believe so, yes.
Yes, yes.
I'm locked.
Dave,
you go first this time.
Okay.
Dave,
he's drawing something.
I'll go first.
That's all.
That's a image.
What kind of creases that?
Oh, that's a bronch crease.
Does my nose look like that?
Kind of.
Did you not realize you got a fucked up nose?
It is tiny ears, too.
No, I didn't realize that.
They're telling me.
Oh, show it again, Dave.
Do a little more zoom in.
I'm going contractor, Dave.
Contractor Dave?
Yeah.
It looks like general contractor Dave across the board.
Come on.
All right, let's see what the listener said.
A.K.A. our old neighbor.
Not across the board.
Dave voted for Dylan the Cowboy.
Oh, was that Dylan?
Okay, that was you being a cowboy?
Oh, I thought that was you being a contractor.
I guess we all have mustaches.
You thought that was a hard hat?
Yeah.
It wasn't a great drawing.
Okay.
To be clear.
So the on this is on the listeners then.
Sorry.
And that is, ooh, this is a closer, 62 to 38, but general contractor Dave moves on.
If you're new here, if you found us through the ringer,
we used to work next to a guy.
who was like, I guess he was a general contractor.
And this is our old office.
This is like five years ago.
And he would just,
the walls were really thin.
And we could just hear him like yelling at subcontractors on the phone.
And he didn't seem like he was very happy ever.
And he would just be pissed off about him all time.
Oh, yeah.
So good.
Shout out to him.
Very thin walls.
Very, very thin walls.
All right.
Moving on to number 13.
Randy researching free sponsor merch.
Merch.
verse number four the twisted cork oh
does the twisted cork include the bartender
uh the irish the irish bartender i mean there's levels to it
not to give away what i'm thinking but uh-huh well i'll do you want me to tell you or not
no okay i don't know why i ask yeah don't ask next time okay i'll just go i'll just go i'll just go
I'm a drew a little foot twisted cork.
That's good, Randy.
This is Randy wearing Warby Parkers because he had to go.
He went to the store to try him on before ordering his free Warby Parkers.
And this bit, I don't know why it's just so funny to me,
Randy gets, he does all this research when he gets free product merch.
It's just doing by due diligence.
It is funny.
It's funny, dude.
No one puts more effort into like Brett will send out the email.
Hey, XYZ is going to send out.
some free stuff. Just give him go and pick like three things. And then he'll email Brett with like three
follow up questions about the product. It's like dude, just fucking oil stuff. Half it's a bit now because
I like doing it to Brett to piss him off. It's the court. Twisted cork. So we got to go to the audience.
Got to go to the audience. Got to go listeners. All right. I bet it's the cork. It's got to be the
cork. Let's see. And yes, with 73% of the vote, it's the cork. Man, I pass that every time I'm in
the mall. And I just think, man, if I was, if I was a little younger, I would just stob down and
get a, get a poor. But I just never do. I wonder if you can get a Guinness there.
Has anybody actually sat down, bellied up to the twisty card? I thought about it multiple times.
Like, I should just go get, uh, you can watch a ball game. I got TV set up, man. Go watch a Texas
game. Y'all should go watch Texas Purdue at the court.
All right. Number three, slonks versus.
Number 14, Dave Pizzaying down the mountain.
Okay.
That's not.
Let's see.
They's drawn.
It's not like Dave's drawn an egg.
No.
He's drawing something.
I'll go first this time.
We ready?
We locked?
I'm going slonks.
Yeah.
No shit.
I'm going slonks.
You know, Daddy loves a slonk.
I do slonk, Dylan.
I, I, I,
thanks for giving that that mustache a little width
or it could have looked real bad.
I added to it.
I also went slunks.
So, I mean, it doesn't matter what the...
What's...
I'm a stoolie.
I'm new here.
I don't know your Gen Z lingo.
Slunks are eggs.
Originated from raw meat experiment.
The account on Instagram.
Okay.
Slonkers.
And Dylan is obsessed with eggs.
Yeah.
Did you see...
I tagged you in something yesterday.
Yeah.
It was a screenshot at Snapchat.
I saw it.
Somebody.
somebody got sick off of eggs.
Yeah, that's too bad.
His buddy said,
you're not supposed to do that to eggs
because the way he worded it.
He was like,
ah, man,
these effin eggs.
He got sick from fucking eggs.
And guys like,
don't do that.
You shouldn't have done that.
Right.
I've seen that before.
Not supposed to be fucking eggs.
All right.
This is number 11.
Dave's addiction to smelling salts
verse number six,
Obama and JFK voice.
Okay.
I uh as far as I got uh
those are good metro
smelling salts uh
that's tough Obama and JFK that almost feels like uh
I know those should be two separate
lottery picked
same team
and also like it's not I don't find it that funny
to like have my addiction to smelling salts as like a bit
when it's like a lot of people struggle with that
myself included so it's like
we're going to make content out of it.
I have something that affects me negatively.
Right.
Yeah.
It's just weird.
Yeah.
For sure, dude.
Sure, man.
I'm locked in, dog.
Everyone's feeling for you.
I'm locked as well.
I'm locked.
As well.
Hang out.
I'm drawing here.
Okay.
I'm going to go then because I drew it a little bit too.
Smelling salts.
Smelling salts.
Let me see.
I went smelling salts.
It's not the best nose.
Wait, show me that nose?
It's my horns thought.
It's odd nose.
You want to see how you draw a nose.
That's how you draw a nose.
That's how you draw a nose.
I went with the Obama, JFK voice.
Okay, so this might be, we'll see.
I thought this is going to be an upset.
I mean, it could be.
We'll see what the listeners say.
Yeah, it might be.
They vote chalk.
They have the bonus here.
Wow.
Close one.
Obama and JFK voice moves on with 51.
percent of the vote. How many people
voted? 400
in this one, 406.
And so it was 208
versus 198. Your
vote matters. Yeah. Wow.
There's a lot of people who don't think their vote matters
that would have been a close one. Yeah, that was a close one.
We're moving on.
That's as far as it goes.
We can't be expected to do
every bit.
Yeah. I'm glad that.
Especially here coming up.
We don't need you smoking, smell no smelling salts, whatever I'm trying to say.
Look, yeah, again, I'm glad it didn't move on.
It's not funny.
It is funny.
Not funny.
It's not funny.
All right.
Number seven, Dylan causing car accidents first.
Number 10, Mando.
Yeah, this is, neither of these are ones that we were going to want to.
Here's a context play here.
What is, I'm new here.
You're new here?
I found you guys from, um, from no laying.
The overlap you guys did with no laying.
up. I like you guys when you were performing on their podcast. What Dylan caused a car accident?
Multiple. Or did he just witness them? Or did his presence cause them? I haven't caused a single car accident.
But I am, I'm always very close to them. I see some bad ones, including a fatal one, not so long ago.
It's not fun. I don't want this.
let's see
I like being
drawing a little
it's a visual show
I try to draw a car
accident but it didn't look good
so I raised it
so I just wrote car accidents
I drew a car accident
you did yeah
and that's you watching them
I'm rocking with Dylan
that's a head on collision
I'm rocking with Dylan
causing a car accident
again at Heisenberg
it does it does
It's like fucking Heidberg
dude
well that's what you look like
Show that
It's not my best
What is the hat?
That looks just like you know
That's some shit you wear
I don't think so
You're always fucking around with some hats
All right so we're all in consensus there
Dylan causing cart
What is a Mondo
That is Brett's nickname
That Dylan gave him
For taking big old doos
A Mondalorian
It takes big old Mondos
You know I think Brett was kind of hoping
Like in 2026
Maybe that had gone.
Like people, you know, that's, that's like a six-year-old deal.
Let's see, we moved in here in April of 2022.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that this is, that's a four-year-old bit.
What moves on here?
It's palpable.
Well, we all voted car accidents.
Oh, we did?
It doesn't matter what they.
Yeah, it doesn't matter what they said.
Hold on a second.
It is, it is concerning that you're just always there.
Yeah.
It's like, um.
I have helped two.
people out of flipped vehicles.
You know the moth man?
How people say like when something like bad happens, like,
oh yeah,
I saw the moth man at that bridge before it fell down.
You're kind of the moth man.
I don't know the mothman lore.
Yeah,
we've definitely talked.
You know moth man?
Not when it comes to,
this guy doesn't know moth man.
He's half man, half moth.
I get it for some reason,
slonks and Dave Pizzen down the mountain
where we're out of order
on our little thing here.
But slunks won the 85% of the vote.
But all right,
And it was Dylan causing car accidents with 58% of the vote.
That's unanimous.
I think we've been pretty chalk here, haven't we?
Yeah, we've had no major upsets to my knowledge.
No major upsets.
All right.
And last one of the, what is this, the Wilmans?
You copy the wrong thing over there, by the way.
Thank you.
That would have been bad.
But text is not there yet, folks.
I was listening back to get that one shining.
moment and like it was the championship round and micah was still having problems and dill was yelling
at him uh so last one of the wilmans part of the bracket number 15 randy's side quest first number two
out blankway wasn't there like a big like didn't micha mess up like something like put the wrong
ones in yeah multiple times he was going off like bracket five instead of actually continuing the
bracket that you guys did and i think it was like just based off what the listeners were uh voting and
and stuff. It was, it was early on, but, uh, but yeah, he just, he just was not keeping track of
what you guys were voting. That's why I always say that like when it came to Bidna madness,
when I started, uh, being a producer here, I was like, I need to make sure that this is done
right. I can't believe out blankway is a two seed all after all these years.
Dude, it's still one of my favorite things to say. It's just, it's just a, a perennial.
It's, it's, it's a power player, man. Well, we had a, the, the, the backer who came by to
day. He can't, he didn't say it, but he was like, yeah, my dad lives out and out San
Marcus. And I like it, think of, I finished it for him in my head. When he said,
down in San Marcus, I was just like Sam Marcus way. Just say it. Just say it, dude.
I'm voting for it. Yep. Sam Marcus. Now, Blankway. That is, that is unanimous. And let's
see what the, the listener said. This is going to be a blowout. 86% out blankway.
What were your side quest? Is that you hunting gnomes? I don't know.
Yeah, probably.
Just me doing shit.
I'm always doing shit.
Or is that you disappearing at a meetup to like, I don't know what you do.
You do disappear at meetups, even though you don't leave.
I go to the bathroom.
No one sees you.
We don't see each other at all at meetups.
That's true.
It's like the first like 10, 15 minutes when people are showing up will be like two of us in the conversation with the same group of backers.
And then after that, it's just we're all, we're all separated.
It's a real gauntlet.
It is what it is.
All right, Alplankway moves on.
It's going to be a tough one to beat.
I mean, it had a pretty good run last time, too.
What won it last year?
I think Haas won.
It checks out.
It might have been those two up against each other,
but I'll check.
I can actually pull it up right now if you really want me to.
I could pull up last year's bracket.
All right.
This is first one of the Dick Saloon part of the bracket.
This is number two, Hungwee, verse number 15,
always welcoming the stoolies.
Big, big player today.
I mean, both of these have been mentioned.
Both of them.
Both.
This is tough.
Now, if the stoolies are new here, what does that mean welcoming the stoolies?
Oh.
My boat's in.
My vote is also in.
Give me the stoolies.
Oh.
It's a good stool, yeah?
Looks like we're going to.
That's pretty good.
Looks like we're going to the folks.
Going to the folks because I also said the Stoolies.
Really?
Yeah.
It's a 15 and a two.
All right.
I don't even care about the numbers next to all.
Let's see.
I thought,
Okay.
Hungwee's just so far.
It is.
Hmm.
Hungwee.
Hungwee with 85% wins.
Wow.
I mean, that's fair.
Hungry's good.
85.
That's a blowout, dog.
That is a blowout.
There's a real disconnect between you guys and the folks.
I mean,
I honestly probably voted for Stooleys because you've been really doing it today.
It's really.
really influenced my voting.
Yeah.
That's fair.
Bias.
All right.
Moving on.
We have number 10, Siemens Kola, number seven, Dave being friends with Sweens.
Seaman's Kola, of course, the reference to the year 1998, when Flounder, my friend was on a,
we're on a bus going to Gulf, Gulf Shores for a church thing.
Started doing a bit where he was a pirate saying he needed a glass of Siemens Cola.
He would sing a song with it.
And I don't know why that came up on the show.
All right.
We almost need him on here to discuss it.
How have we not had him on like an actual episode yet?
Because every time he says he's going to come down here, he doesn't.
And then he no-showed the meetup.
So we're mad at him.
If you're a stool and you're new here, Flounder's a friend of mine from
high school and we've all come to know him and love him.
My vote's in.
I try to make it look like the like the Hooters logo.
It didn't look like Swoons, but it's supposed to say Swains.
I don't understand the reference.
He put nipples on the O's that were supposed to be ease.
I went with a nice can of Siemens Cola.
I went with Dave's friendship.
So we're going to the listeners.
And Nimbada.
I don't know, man.
Some of this stuff is like feels like it's a little, it's not even a bit.
It's like my personal life.
Like who I'm friends with outside of the show, it's like shouldn't be a big deal.
Like, yeah, I've got a couple friends who are like known celebrities.
And I don't talk about it.
I don't talk about the fact that we went rock climbing over the weekend.
You do hot yoga and muddard in tough mutters with them.
No, I mean, yeah, it's fine.
I don't need to talk about that stuff.
Like, yeah, we obviously, we went to Dave and Busters over the weekend.
Did it?
Yeah.
Just three of us.
All right.
What the people said?
With 61% of the vote, Dave being friends with Sweenes moves on.
She's not, she doesn't like when I talk about her on the show.
It's actually not her.
It's her PR people.
Yeah, I get it, really.
They think it's negative PR for her for some reason.
Just because we're like, I don't know, the silly guys.
Silly guys.
All right.
Number six, what's the damage versus number 11, Renfair Randy?
was there a rent fare in the last couple weeks oh there's one going on right now
oh it started last week of fe you're not going it goes on through i think the first like three
weekends of april so i'm thinking about going for my birthday in two weekends but we'll see i haven't
talked to anyone about it yet it's very unlike you to not have a plan uh but that's the
are you giving this stuff up now that you have a girlfriend no she's going to come to the run fair once she uh
She's back in Austin.
You're going to give it up.
I ain't getting out of the run fair, Dave.
Ain't no way.
We got a lot to go to yet, boys.
We're only doing half.
We're only doing this first half.
So we only have a couple more matchups left.
What's the damage?
What's the damage?
The damage.
The damage.
Renfair, Randy.
We're going to the listeners.
I had to.
I had to.
All right.
I do like Renfair Randy, to be clear.
Yeah. It's always an interesting content. Maybe one day I'll go to a rent fair.
It's Randy in his purest form, I think. Yeah. I mean, this is the one you want to go to. I mean, the one of Houston is the biggest one and it's great, but I mean, it's still like two and a half hours, maybe like close to three hours away. But like the one outside of Austin's only like 50 minutes, if that. So you should bring the, you should bring the kids to that one. Do you have to dress your kids up?
You can. I mean, you don't have to dress up. But you just, but you don't want to be that guy.
Yeah, yeah. You'll fee all the place if you're not dressed up, and it's just way more fun to be dressed up.
Makes you feel like more part of it. It's fun time. All right. What's damage versus Renfair, Randy?
68% of the vote goes to what's the damage? Oh, wow. That's fair.
I look, I have not been listening to the show for a long time.
I found you guys through Snapback Sports.
Snapback Sports.
That's how I found you guys.
What's the damage?
What does that mean?
When someone makes a purchase and you want to like maybe dig into their financial situation a little bit, you'll ask, oh, what's the damage?
So it's like another way of saying, like, how much did you spend on that?
What do you spend on that?
Yeah.
It implies that, oh, you got it like that.
So, right, okay, got it.
I noticed you went to Hawaii recently.
What was the damage on that trip?
Don't want to talk about it.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, though, save some money by things getting canceled based on the weather, which to all our Hawaiian, Hawaiian listeners out there thinking about you.
A lot of flooding.
North Shore is pretty bad on Oahu right now.
Hopefully things are going better.
The weather turns.
Randy's the official circling back ambassador to Hawaii.
All right.
Let's do it.
Number three, the hottest man on the planet.
No, no.
Versus number 14 on the spot.
This is cruel to put two, two Dylan bits.
Number 14, Gladys getting filled up.
Gladys getting filled up.
All right.
Pretend I've never listened to the show.
Who's Gladys?
And what's she getting filled up?
Like her gas thing?
Is this like old-timey?
Yeah, sure.
He used to fill me up.
Gladys is an older gal I used to work with a while back who used to
talk about her late husband filling her up, and you can take that to me, whatever it is you want.
Okay.
Man, that is just not the way to describe that.
It's revolting is what it is.
And I'm picking Gladys.
See, here, if you're not watching at home, you're missing out on a gas tank that's on full.
That's a full 10 meter.
That's interesting when you did that because I also did Gladys, and I had her, uh,
Her glass getting filled up.
I just wrote hot because obviously the hottest man on the planet.
Oh, yeah.
That's going to the people.
That's the, that's how we got all the stoolies.
That is true.
All right.
So hottest man of planet, last getting filled up.
Reveal time.
The hottest mod.
Hottest man wins with 71% of the vote.
You have the song?
It was an interesting morning.
If that wins, that's going all the way.
We've got to hear the song.
It's songs.
Yeah, what is that song?
I have it somewhere.
He has it somewhere.
I have it somewhere.
It's somewhere out there.
All right.
This next one is just, again, digging into my personal life.
And Randy's career, really.
It is number four, Dave taking Chels out versus number 13, less Randy.
Less Randy.
Can we swap that with Chels hugging the bartender at Echo?
I prefer Randy more, but.
Les Randy.
Come on, y'all.
I also think that less Randy is supposed to spell with one S, but.
Less Randy, of course, was a fictional character.
I never thought of it like that.
Oh, yeah.
Less Randy and Man.
Okay.
Some of these spin out of control.
I refuse to vote for Les Randy.
That would just be mean.
That would be mean.
That would be really mean.
What are you taking Charles out next, man?
She's been asking.
I've got to talk to her, man.
I know she's going out of town soon, but I was hoping I could stop by, maybe bring her some meatballs.
Please don't read Chels to meatballs.
I'm voting for myself.
Yeah, well, hold on.
Dave taking Ches out, Dave and Chels, and then I also put Dave and Chels.
All right, so we don't even need the listeners for that one.
That's...
Shouts to Chels.
But speaking of meatballs, Dave.
Quit asking.
You want to know where we're going to.
to lunch this week, don't you? Are we doing lunch
this week? Yeah, I thought you and me. Let's do
I wanted to get out in front of it because I know you're going to ask me.
I already told you where I want to go.
Where does he want to go? I want to go to that Mexican
restaurant right down the street.
Say it on. Try it up. I've been there.
It's been there forever. Is it
is it decent? There's a sign up front that says
the way South Austin used to be. I know, and I want
to support him. I went in there and I was the only one eating in there.
Okay.
Dave taking Charles out also won it with 80% of those.
You did a solo month?
Well, I did never try the place.
I was like, oh, what's this place about?
And I was the only one eating there.
It was a lunch on a like a Wednesday.
So just a solo munch.
It was a solo lunch.
It was a solo lunch.
It was a solo lunch.
God.
All right.
All right, we got number 12 verse number five.
Number 12, Liv Langdon's hot boyfriend, verse number five.
Oh yeah.
I like that one back.
Hold on a second.
I think I have it here.
Do I not have it anymore?
The controversial, I'd like that one back.
A lot of people here wondering who's Liv Lang.
And that's how you separate the day ones from the new ones.
And there's no judgment there.
She was a guest a few times on a, she's a friend of the show.
She's a friend of the show.
She's moved on.
Lovely young lady.
She's nice.
She's now dating a doctor, Liv Langdon.
She's now dating a man who doesn't wear a shirt.
He's quite literally the hottest man on the plane.
He doesn't wear a shirt.
Liv Langdon's hot boyfriend verse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd like that one back.
The segment or the drop or boat.
Locked it.
I'm locked in.
You know, I'm rock with Mr. Liv Langdon.
I almost put Mr. Liv Langdon.
Said I just put Liv's BF.
I put.
Okay.
Liv's boyfriend as well.
All right.
Liz's boyfriend.
Did you spell it out?
Impossibly hot.
Okay.
That's our first upset.
Seriously?
Number 12 beating the number five.
You know you're going to get one every year.
Yeah.
At least.
Well, most people do.
Ooh.
I don't like this bit.
I don't like, I don't like this.
More like boiler down.
Oh, the worst shit talkers, man.
Actually, Dylan's not.
Dylan's being nice for now.
Yeah, I am.
He's waiting to see if Randy has plays.
I'm not shit talking.
Texas season's already been made.
The rest of it is just gravy, dog.
You can't waste it.
You're like this.
We'll see about it.
Everything's clicking.
That's the first time.
Yeah, I'd like that one back

Number eight, it's a visual show verse number nine.
Hi, Dave.
Hmm.
Hmm.
This guy's disgusting.
I know what the people at home are voting.
Do you?
I think so.
But I also think we're going to be, we're going to be divided on this one.
So we're going to have to go to them.
You think so?
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'd like to point out that mine, mine has proper punctuation.
Whoa.
We all, hi, Dave.
Wow.
All of us vote.
Hi, Dave.
That's proper punctuation.
I'm the only one.
Hi, Dave.
I'm just copying what was on the bracket.
All right.
Let's see what.
It's a proper now.
It's a visual show.
It would have won with.
67% of the vote.
So we once again, another upset.
Holy moly.
That's a very modest upset.
An eight and a nine?
Yeah.
Nobody gets that excited over eight and nine being an eight.
That's true.
All right.
And our last matchup for today.
But voting is still open for the second round of the second half of round once.

No offense to Mexico Ranch.
Yeah, Mexico Randy was fine, man.
It's fine.
You had that, you had that three-month run.
That is true.
Well, that was fun.
I agree.
I really enjoy having the listeners be a part of this.
Oh, yeah.
That was a 94 to 6% right there.
That was almost the biggest.
That's belt of ass.
Yeah.
That was the biggest discrepancy.
I didn't want to say it, but that was Aggies round two,
NCAA tournament right there.
To the 26 people that voted for Mexico, Randy, thank you.
Thank you, but Mexico Randy is cheeks.
Oh, all right.
That was fun, dude.
Yes.
