all right we're back circling back podcast my name is will defries live in the early bird cbd studio in austin texas to my right dave ruff feels good to be back at full strength here dude that was a tough power play but we fucking fucking fought, and we got out of it. Who do we have on? We have Micah. And Barrett. And Barrett. And a call in from our friend, the real Cat Pat.

Real Cat Pat. I called in. Much love. Oh, yeah, you called in. That went well. Really good audio on that. Just awesome audio. Crushed it.

You're calling from a bunker. Yeah. Yeah, as it turns out, the scenic drive i was taking didn't have the service that i thought it would and i kind of forgot the time frame of when we were doing that call so i raced back and uh yeah maybe maybe that wasn't it it wasn't great but it was good to hear from you thank you it was good to be it was good to be on there welcome back man it was the first time we've had the band all back together with mike and everything what a party that's true yeah i guess you could technically call it that since you were on the phone with us yeah technically micah oh you missed um miss christian girl autumn man i know i'll be

honest that's like sometimes like when i'm gone and if i miss like an episode or something i'm like oh that would have been fun to talk about like christian girl like fall or whatever would that was so such a bummer for me not to be able to be a part of that so i told you all this over the weekend and i didn't get much of a reaction from you know you were probably busy but uh christian girl autumn the girl who has like a million followers on instagram the super basic you being one of them influencer yes i am one of them. Influencer. Yes, I am one of them now. Her mom is also an influencer. That's tight. She has between 25,000 and 30,000 followers, I think. And she posts just like her daughter does.

She promotes different boutique clothing things. It's just really absurd and quite cringeworthy, actually. Christian Girl Autumn might be the worst replacement for Hot Girl Summer, like, ever. Or the best. I mean, yeah. But, like, in an ironic way. Yeah. It's so bad.

I saw someone on Twitter say that Hot Girl Summer is going to be replaced by Thottam. I saw that. Ooh, Thottam's good. Thottam's good. Shouts to all our thotties out there. Dylan, you said... You know a few. You said...

Okay. No, Dylan. You said you were going to replace Christian Girl Autumn with Christian Girl Bottom, and I don't know what that means. Yeah, that... You said... I don't recall saying that.

But thanks. Did I miss anything else? Right out of the gate. What else I missed? Yeah, pretty much that. You missed my intro. Oh I miss anything else? What else did I miss? Yeah, pretty much that. You missed my intro. Oh, what's up? 248 in.

Dylan. What up, fam? What's good? Man, glad to be back in the stew. It's good to have you back, man. With the full squad. I feel like some other stuff happened. Stuff's always happening, Dave.

I got pretty deep into the vacation and just kind of started forgetting what day it was, which was a good feeling and also a bad feeling. But I thought I was a day ahead for like three days. So I was like scrambling to like do stuff and get it in before I had to leave. And then I realized like, dude, Will, you got plenty of time. I will say it's good to be back. I did the good move of coming back on Saturday instead of Sunday. So I just spent all day yesterday doing nothing, catching up on TV.

instead of Sunday. So I just spent all day yesterday doing nothing, catching up on TV. Watched two succession episodes, which we'll get to, which was a very good feeling of realizing I forgot. But yeah, otherwise,

I think I got less tan on vacation. Like I think I didn't. No, you got some color for sure. Okay. Yeah. I spent a lot of time outside. It's the first thing I noticed actually. Word, word.

That's tight. Did y'all see that we might nuke hurricanes? Saw something about it. How do you nuke a hurricane? I don't know. I think you just drop a bomb in the eye of the hurricane. Dude, imagine being the dude who has to drop that bomb. You can fly over it.

It's pretty easy to fly over them, I think. Yeah, but that's a volatile situation no matter how you do it. They send those reconnaissance points into them to get the data. Okay. Are they just going to drop a bunch of trout in there and hope that it slows down the wind speed? Probably not. How eerie is it to be inside of the eye

when it's super calm and around you it's just chaos? Well, what you should do is you should just get under the eye and then just travel with the eye. Just walk with it. Slowly. Just walk with it? Yeah. Or if you're in is you should just get under the eye and then just travel with just walk with it slowly just walk with it yeah or if you're in a boat just put it you know just kind of trawl your way along and you'll never experience it yeah it's like going on a gravitation when you get to the shore you just you get out start running you just jogging getting an uber and just take a hole sir please just take me with the eye everywhere. Yeah. Like we're going north, northeast at about 12 to 15 miles an hour. Yeah.

Seems easy enough, really. Why did everybody know this? Yeah. We just solved it. We just, like, done. Yeah. Twister. No need to nuke.

Hurricanes are no longer a threat. Yeah. We've just diffused this entire situation. I am anxious to see if the nuke thing works, though. Like, that's a fun day on social media we have to try I'm out of it

where are we doing this it came out that he's saying that this is fake news but the president came out that he has pitched that idea he said we should try to nuke a hurricane before it hits land. Who is he? The president.

Okay. Does he have the qualifications to make a suggestion like that? What does he know about hurricanes and nuclear weaponry? Dude, he's in tune with science and everything. I mean, his theory that the human body is a battery and, like has like a finite amount of energy like that's spot on and climate change is a hoax and all that stuff like he do he's right about this stuff i think we he's gotten to the point where we have to trust him i bet he i bet he like made it a joke like maybe before harvey or something i don't know it was like hey we should nuke this thing

and like i don't't know. And then somebody like an official leaked that. I don't know. There's no way. He's saying that it's fake news. Like legit that's what he said. What if it's like that's actually the key to shutting these things down? But I feel like you shouldn't I feel like it's almost like

you're doing a lot of damage to I feel like dropping a nuke in a hurricane or tornado like whatever you want to drop it in i feel like that just makes it a more volatile situation you have a nuclear hurricane yeah like it just becomes stronger which sounds to be radioactive to be fair like the words nuclear hurricane sound tight together that sounds like a sharknado-esque movie. Nuclear hurricane. Yeah. It just like turns into the toxic avenger of hurricanes. I don't know what that means.

Oh. It's like a fucking loaded out hurricane. He's hyper decanting the hurricane. You'd have to do it, obviously, when it was like way out over the sea. Like not close to anybody, you know? I feel like the party waves that would come with that would just be like through the roof oh everyone's grabbing the surfboards what's the half boards because it's on what's the half life on our nuclear hurricane i think it's like 100 million years something like

that oh that's a lot seems like a lot yeah yeah it seems like a lot what if i just created one hurricane that that just moves around the globe and never weakens? So it just like every, however long it takes it to go around the globe, like you know it's going to come back at some point. And there's nothing you can do. Why would you want to do that?

I know, I'm saying the unintended consequences. Oh, like what if doing that creates, creates a never ending hurricane? Yeah. The nuclear hurricane that just won't end. That seems like it would be problematic. You know? Yeah.

Also, like, radioactive rain. Right. I don't know if our president has considered all these potential outcomes. But the surfing, like Will said, it's going to be fire. You just have to do it's going to be fire. You just have to do it in a hazmat uniform. That's fine. Are you going to boogie board or surf?

I'm just going to body surf. Body surfing, it would probably be fun. We're better at body surfing. It would probably be more responsible for us. I almost died on our little Players Championship trip. I'm going to get one of those skim body surfing. Yeah, one of those waves dumped me over hard. One of those two foot waves really thrashed you?

Dude, I guess I got too far ahead of it and it threw me down and that could have taken out a shoulder. That sounds really lame. You got tossed pretty hard too. You're such a bitch, dude. You got tossed the hardest. I remember.

You got tossed the hardest. That way fucked me up. I think I saw your duck tattoo sticking out of your butt. I got body slammed. Yeah. I had a chill vacation move this past week. There was one day where we just sat in the water pretty much all day

and just drank beers, waist level, just chilling. Right. My legs were sore the next day, I think, from swaying with the waves and keeping myself steady all day. I was like, it's super chill that my legs are just sore from just standing. Also the sign of peak physical condition. Yeah, you know what it is. Yeah.

You've seen these legs, dude. Come on. Hey, do you guys know it's International Dog Day? No, but shout to all the dogs out there. It's the number one trending topic on Twitter moments right now. Wow. Do you have anything you'd like to say to all the dogs? I would like to ask you how Rosie's doing.

She's doing great. Good. Rosie's never been happier. she's a big cone girl now she's so coney well we're thinking about her are you doing anything for randy for international dog day yeah but it's i don't want him to hear it he'll probably be listening to this here oh yeah you don't want to ruin that surprise he subscribes you do play it for him every morning, so he does listen. It's true. Is he just like AirPods? How does he consume? He does it through the Amazon Echo and Spotify.

Okay. That's tight, man. There's many different ways to digest a podcast. Right. I was just wondering how your dog did it. Imagine not putting circling back on for your dog when you leave every day for work. Just imagine. Couldn't be me.

Truly not. Man, that makes me happy. It's National Dogs Day. Yeah, once... It's also hashtag Women's Equality Day. Big. Shouts to that not trending as high as dogs. Shows a lot about Twitter.

Wow. This is the type of thing on twitter where like international dog day is the number one trending thing but like all the idiots that only are on instagram won't know it until like three o'clock this afternoon so we're just gonna get an influx of people wishing their dogs happy international dog day also are other countries like psyched about this like i feel like there's certain countries that just like don't realize that it's international dog day are we the only country that celebrates all these ridiculous like every day is something new for sure like saturday was national waffle day which i found out as i was taking parks to get waffles did it was it just overflowing with humans it was

just a regular day i don't think anyone really knew what was going on did he get some waffles off he opted for pancakes instead, which is weird because he's usually a waffle guy. But he wanted chocolate chip pancakes, so that's what he got. They got too mainstream for him. You know, waffles, a waffle is one of those items that

if you try to, if you try to be healthy and buy like the healthy alternative waffle that's like, you know, got like protein and shit, they really suck. They really suck. They truly suck. I learned this the hard way recently.

I bought some... I don't know what the brand is. Are you saying it's an awful waffle? It's an awful waffle. Just buy regular waffles. Don't try to be healthy with it because you're not going to enjoy it. That's how I feel about...

There's some things... I've done Whole30. I believe pizza is one of those things. Pizza is one of those things. Pizza is one of those things. I don't care about your cauliflower crust. Get it out. Just get your regular shit. There are very few good cheese replacements.

Correct. Like vegan cheese replacements. They don't taste normal. No. I mean, some things it's like, dude, you just got to enjoy it. Because there's no point. This waffle stinks. They're hilariously bad.

Did you ever used to make waffles at uh like the dining halls at texas state yeah they were so fucking good yeah it was one of the best fresh pour your waffle oh my god and you just bring that iron down on it i think we had one that was it had like uh something with a logo in the middle of it like built into the the iron skillet thing you know and it was just tight and they were just so good. Toss some whipped cream on that thing. Man. Those were the best. Would you try to get every square with the syrup when you were a little?

Oh yeah. Now that I think about that, like that was a stupid waste of, of syrup. I was the best pourer of the, oh, the syrup. No,

I'll tell you talking about the, like the batter stuff inside the skillet. Oh no. In the skillet for sure. I'm talking about like if in the, with syrup, you want to get every single square. You got to hit every square or else what are you doing?

It's a waste of a bite. Waffles are also the kind of thing that I make sure I just have a surplus of butter all over. I'm not a big butter guy. Oh, I love the butter. It gets in there and softens it up for you. It's great. And then you toss on the syrup.

Yeah. Just a one-two punch unlike any other. Yeah. The middle piece that just has like a bunch of butter and a bunch of syrup is just unbeatable. Well, any other the middle piece that just has like a bunch of butter and a bunch of syrup it's just unbeatable well I like the corner piece because the edge of it is a little bit thicker

and a little bit more crusty I actually just would get the waffle and just fold it and eat it like a little pita that's weird really? I had a weird childhood a breakfast URL? yeah do you guys subscribe to the idea sally brought this up and now that she brought it up like she's been really taking

advantage of it of which piece of pizza you're allowed to take from pizza you know loud like if someone takes the first piece of pizza are you obligated to take a piece that was touching that now empty piece or can you take any piece you want i think you can take any piece you want because you can't why should someone else dictate which piece you're allowed to grab i think that's like a red flag when i look inside a pizza box and there's like multiple clearly multiple people have gone to different parts of the pizza and it's not uniform yeah i'm like what like, what are you, you're savages. Because obviously some slices are more dope than other slices.

Yeah. Well, and sometimes you just want, you don't want the giant slice. You just want something thin. Like you're going in for that last one. You're like, you know what I could do?

I could do five slices. I'm going to go and get number five. But you just want a tiny one and maybe it's the one with the little bubble on it. You know, the bubble that work, bubbles up the cheese.

I'm talking about the bubble, dude. Yeah. Don't have to mansplain the bubble Dylan just looked like he didn't know I didn't Dylan doesn't eat pizza

oh I do but if you're eating a square pizza that has like the middle you can't go for the middle no no certainly not I think that's the only

real rule Sally's friends were eating cinnamon buns. And they had like a giant cinnamon bun. And someone just took out the middle part of the cinnamon bun. Oh, that is such trash. That's ruthless.

Like, you can't do that. You just can't do that. No, you can't. If it's a pan that has like six cinnamon buns, or like however many, and there's like middle pieces, I think you are allowed to take the middle one if you really want it. But like you can't just take the middle of one of the cinnamon buns

and just like rip out its guts. You can't gut the bun. No. So I had, well you might have missed this. Okay, so you know that Popeye's chicken sandwich? You know, it went viral.

So I got home one night and I went on Twitter for the first time in like two days. And I was so happy to see how viral it went. Well, it's gotten so big that I tried to get one yesterday from my neighborhood Popeyes. And he was like, dude, we are sold out. He goes, I don't know when we're going to have it back. He's like, come back in a couple of days.

I'm like, well, I'm probably not coming back in a a couple days but have they given credit where credit is due like you started this i was early i wasn't the earliest i know of one one uh micro influencer one micro influencer a friend of the show uh jake kemp oh was he was he before you jake is a noted fast food connoisseur and he's got a podcast called it's just banter i highly recommend it um they he got in okay he's where i heard it from like i had heard okay i remember seeing like a listicle or like a vulture article that like they're working on like a new chicken sandwich at popeyes get in like i kind of remember that too it's probably like an. It was a while ago. Yeah, not Vulture.

Who knows? And then they were talking about it on their podcast a few weeks ago. So that weekend I was like, all right, well I'm going to try this. And I think I am the first

to vlog it. That might be true. No one else vlogged it. No. And especially on Patreon. Behind a paywall. So many people saw it. Yeah.

But yeah, dude, it's crazy. I swear to God, like the week after we talked about it, it blew up. actually on patreon beyond a behind a paywall so many people saw it yeah uh but yeah dude it it's crazy i swear to god like the week after we talked about it blew up it's got to be the greatest grassroots marketing of a fried chicken sandwich of all time so good though have you had it yet you had it the day i had anyone anyone who says that there's a better fast food chicken sandwich out there it's just an idiot like i just have you lose all credibility the second you start trying to tout something else i guess i should try it i saw a chick-fil-a so i went to popeye's at the airport on saturday and i tried to get one they're not even they don't even sell them in the airport yet which is probably a good move yeah um but so i went to chick-fil-a next door trash not trash sandwiches, but compared to the Popeye's one, it did not

satiate me. I was bummed. That's bold. When Dylan said, I guess I'll try one, his, you know that, uh, you know how his son's become like kind of a meme, his face looking at the computer screen. That was the face you had. Why did you look so defeated to say you got to try it? Uh, I don't know.

I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure it's awesome. I, yeah, but i haven't haven't gotten there yet so i'd end up just getting strips yesterday that's not a bad alternative it's not it's not but it's still it's just like you know you go there thinking thinking sandy although i did know there was a pretty good possibility they were going to be sold out yeah you have to go in with that expectation at this point um so they're not getting them in like it's not getting in fresh daily like fish at a supermarket. They're doing it right.

They're creating the buzz. They're doing the limited release, and they're not telling us. It's a good move. I saw people tweeting about Olive Garden yesterday. Apparently, Olive Garden's canceled. Yeah, why'd they get canceled? I don't know, but I'm a big summer Fantastico guy. See, I did not know that.

I didn't know there's an Olive Garden so close to me. It means fantastic summer. You could walk to it. Yeah, I didn't know that was there. And before I saw that they got canceled yesterday, I looked at Sally and I was like, dude, I didn't know that Olive Garden was right there. We got to go there more. Go on Twitter like an hour later, straight up canceled.

What do you mean by canceled? Like they're shutting down? I don't know. No, no, no. People are just canceling. No, they're not going out of business. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Internet has canceled them People are just canceling. No, they're not going out of business. Okay. Yeah.

The internet has canceled them. That's too bad. So here we go. People are boycotting it. Apparently, there's something with their ownership group. This is a new thing. People are canceling companies and restaurants and fast food joints because of who might be a majority shareholder uh but olive garden's clapping back they're saying we don't know where this

information came come came from came come what from but it is incorrect our company does not donate to presidential candidates um i don't know you can't cancel olive garden i guess they gave money to trump or something i don't know like they do unlimited cancel Olive Garden. I guess they gave money to Trump or something. I don't know. Like, they do unlimited salad and breadsticks. Dude, if you're going to sit here and tell me that a while back during the summer Fantastico wasn't one of the best years of your life, you're crazy. I don't even know what you're talking about, dog. Dude, it was just a different summer, man. Okay.

God, dude. Just night moves and summer Fantastico. This is weird. night moves and some are fantastico. Weird. Guys, it really looks like there is no source justification for hashtag boycott Olive Garden, so I'm just going to keep not eating there for the regular reasons. That's a smug.

Yeah, that's true. That's pretty funny. People are riding pretty hard for the breadsticks. Dude, they are good breadsticks when it comes to fast food. They're not Fazoli's breadsticks, but they're still good. Dude, fuck Fazoli. It's not good. That is the most depressing fast food joint ever.

And I've been to Captain D's. I need to apologize for my lack of plastic sandwich content. What the hell is your problem? I did a total of zero posts. Dude, I had two plastic wrap sandwiches at Barton Creek. Did you get one off though? Dude, I got like five off. Yeah.

Almost every day. Almost every day. And you didn't... Dude, I was too busy just mowing them. You took pictures of everything else. Mowing them. Yeah, I did take a lot of pics. You know what it is.

Hey, can we talk about our friend Brooks Koepka? I know you all talked about him last week, but this was before he had his, he issued his statement regarding his shoes. How do you guys feel about these shoes? Do you guys know about the Off-White brand? No. Explain the Off-White situation to me.

Designer Virgil Abloh, he, I think, is a creative director of Louis Vuitton now? I could be wrong on that. This would be a great question for Club Cool. Yes, exactly. Because the shoes he was wearing were not even off-white. So he did a... So it's called off-white.

That's the name of his brand. But it has nothing to do with the actual color of the sneaker. Correct. Right, because that confused a lot of people. Yes. Because the shoes are not off-white. Yeah, I'm not a hype beast, you know? And so...

Your son is. He did a collaboration, a much sought after collaboration with Nike. I am not personally a Virgil Abloh guy. I don't get it. Pretty much everything he does, he just puts like, if he does a shoe, he'll just put like, in all caps, shoe with quotation marks around it on the shoe. I'm like, cool, dude. Is he the one who does the air?

Yeah. Okay. I'm like, what are you doing? In quotes. I think old people were thrown off because Brooks Kepka's shoes had the tags on them and stuff. Yeah. I always went on record saying that if I ever bought them, which I'm not the sneaker game at this point. I'm not buying those ever.

That I would have taken the tags off. But I think more people than not leave the tags on because it's a flex. On the course, it's an ultimate flex. Can you imagine turning your hips and just feeling the tags shifting on your feet? You think that's a cool sensation? No, it would be terrible, I think. I don't need more distractions on the course. My swing thought, I'm looking down,

and I'm looking at these giant-ass orange tags on the top of my shoes. Dude, it's just another wrinkle in the Brooks legend. Let's hear this quote. Let's listen to what he said. This is a really under, I feel like this isn't getting that much play and it should be.

So, someone asked him about it and this is how he responded. This is a definition of mansplaining, by the way. I don't even know what you would call

splaining. This is Brooksplaining. He was so dismissive. The off-lights? It's fashion, bro. No, no. It's just such a dismissive. I guarantee the whole golf world has no clue what off-white is, but it's fresh. If you're a sneakerhead, you'll get it. Or in the fashion, yeah. Yeah, sneakerheads, no.

Sneakerheads, no. Will I explain to you? No. Will I explain to the four-year-old white golf guys? No. Yeah, the average guy won't know what the deal is. You can't take that off. You don't take that off. Man. Dude, he came in your neck there, Dylan. 40-year-old white guy with a golf Twitter.

Well, I'm not 40. But, okay. Okay, Brooks. Imagine being in a PGA Tour press conference. Dude, the Tour Championship. Dropping up into his fashion, bro. I thought he said that with some self-awareness and he was making a joke.

No, he was straight up annoyed. He was like, it's fashion, bro. He was straight up annoyed. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Okay, Brooks. I'm still confused.

Do you know if they actually made golf shoes for him? He wasn't just playing in off-whites, right? Like, he got off-white golf shoes. They have spikes. They have spikes. Okay. So it's a legit golf shoe. Okay.

Yeah. I actually don't hate them, and I don't like black golf shoes. I guess this is sort of on topic, but I don't know if y'all watched the Florida-Miami game, the football game. I did. So Florida is now sponsored by Jumpman. Yes. And so they have J's now sponsored by Jumpman. Yes. And so they have J's now.

Like, their shoes are J's. Of course, they have the football cleats on them. But they're like the retro. What do they call it? I don't know which number of the J's they are, but like the retro-looking ones. They look tight, I guess. Kind of weird on a football field.

Well, Michigan's had it for a while. Jump in. But have they had Jordan shoes? I'm not sure. Are they just regular Nike-looking? I think they might have been wearing Jordan shoes. I played with a guy this weekend who was playing golf in the Jordans, in like the Keegan-Bradleys. Oh, really?

Yeah. I didn't hate them. They just kind of look weird with shorts. Right. Are they clunky? They just kind of look weird with shorts. Right. Are they clunky? They're not as clunky on him. Like, if I were to wear them, they would have been like,

the same reason I didn't buy the Air Max. They would have just looked clunky on me. Or in my head, they would have been clunky and it would have ruined my golf season. But, yeah. Whole season down the drain. Whole season,

because I would have been playing in these shoes. I'm like, dude, fuck. There's nothing harder than shopping for golf shoes at this point. Like, there's not that many good-looking ones out there. No. I feel like Nike's pushing the envelope a little bit. Nike's back. They've had a couple years in a row where they were kind of trash.

Well, Yeezy was just jumping over them. Yeah, they were. You don't want to get jumped over like that. Damn. Yeezy isn't jumping over them. Yeah, they were. You don't want to get jumped over like that. Damn. Yeezy isn't making a golf shoot yet, though. You got to think that's in the pipeline. How Sergio never got any is beyond me. He felt like a prime candidate.

You even asked him about it. I asked him. Yeah. He's like, I don't know, man. I didn't know Sergio was in the booth right now. No, you know, it's been great right now No you know it's been great Yeah you know winning Do you want to snap your club over any of these

Microphones or anything while you're here Sergio We don't talk about that I don't know I didn't really I don't really have much to add on the golf Oh yeah it was fun I got It wasn't really close towards the end So I got a really good golf nap in yeah it kind of made it easy it made decisions easy regarding like what to do around

the house yesterday i was like all right i don't need to be glued to this tv right now it was cool that rory won 15 million dollars yeah i would like to do that at some point. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, dudes are, like, finishing nowhere near the top, making, like, 800K and stuff. Yeah. So that's cool. Yeah. All you got to do is make it.

Yeah. That's tight. Yeah. 15 milli. Yeah. Imagine, like, imagine being, like, a top player and getting injured, like, the week before. And it's just like, oh, I just, I, just my injury alone is just pissing away six figures.

You could drag my ass out there. I'll at least make it for the first tee box. Yeah, take me out. Yeah. God. I was expecting a little bit more from Brooks yesterday, but that's all right. He's had a great year. I actually ran to the grocery store right when he put it in the woods.

And so I think that was a good time for me to leave. You think he's going to start practicing more? Maybe. Who knows? Yeah, did he practice before this event? Probably not. When you see me on TV, that's when I play golf. Fashion.

Dude, are we going to get some golf off soon? Fashion, bro. I played Friday and Saturday, and my body doesn't feel terrible, which is new for me. And I honestly believe it's the yoga I'm doing. Really? My yoga journey's back. Temperatures have been up here.

It's starting to – I know y'all can't see what I'm doing. It's starting to do this now. I'm pointing down a little bit. It's only a high of 140. It's going to start to dip. It's the heat index. That's what gets you. The heat – okay, the high next Monday.

Why don't we just nuke the sun? I'm sorry. In 10 days, the high is 92. So that's great. If we shot rockets at the sun and broke off part of the sun and let it slip further into space, wouldn't that help global warming? Yeah.

You have to think so. Yeah. It would also make it way cooler for us to play golf. That would also be just fun to watch. Or if we would just move the Earth like... I think if we move the Earth like... Like a couple miles away from the sun? Two miles away, we could drop temps like big time.

Yeah, let's try. How do we do that? I don't know. Is there a dude steering the Earth? You know, space is like a vacuum. Man. We're all just monkeys flying through space on this rock. Is there a dude

actually driving us you know I don't know how does the earth know how to go around the sun like I feel like you need a captain if we just have like

some big thrusters and point them at the sun and just hit them real hard we got some big thrusters maybe we could just what if everybody just gets on their back and then just starts thrusting

I don't know if that'll do it you don't think that would move it what was that thing that they did back in, like, the 80s where everyone, like, held hands across the United States? Hands across America? Is that what it was called?

That was, like, hands across the world. Hands across America. Should we just start doing thrust across America? If everyone in the world jumped at the same time, what would happen? You'd have to think that the Earth would move down a little bit. If we all jumped as high as we could at the same time, like, perfectly in sync, and then came back down down like with a one just thud what would happen what

would happen hey what happened did y'all see the uh let's coordinate y'all see those wedding photos where like they had like everybody was gonna do like the jump the synchronized jump and there was a the heavy set there was a lady of size and they clearly size. They clearly tried to edit it and make it look like she jumped, which she didn't. And she had like a 70-inch vertical. You have to be aware if you're going to do a photo like that. You have to be aware of who's in the group and who's capable of getting off the ground.

First of all, that photo doesn't work for anybody. And I don't think we did that. We actually did not. If I'm doing that photo with you guys, I'm definitely kicking my feet up a little bit to make it look like my vertical's higher than it is. I'm grabbing, I'm tucking in doing a mute grab. Because like, my vertical's not,

actually, I jumped on the golf course one time and for the first time in like a really long time, I tried to jump and see my shot. And my buddy was like, dude, will you jump again? He's like, is that really your vertical right now? And I was like, yeah, it's not great. Damn. Well, you don't want to go max out when you haven't jumped in five years.

That's how you blow. You can't just jump out the gym. Is that why you didn't do the Grand X Pro Day thing or the combine? Dude, I didn't get invited to that. You didn't even get invited. I just didn't get an invite. That's weird. Like, Boosh did it.

Yeah. I was just like sitting. It was me and Dan, injured Dan, sitting at our desks together being like, man, I wonder how it's going over there. Boosh is ripping cigs between each event. Was he? That's tight. Probably.

God. So, I don't know. Do we need someone to help coordinate all this, like, jumping stuff? I can't believe we just fixed global warming. I know. Should we fix the Amazon next? And we told people how to... What's going next and we and we told people what's going on there and we told people how to evade the hurricane you know who my favorite people on

twitter are the people who uh when everybody's having fun with something like chicken sandwiches or something they're like y'all are talking about uh chicken sandwiches you know the amazon's on fire yeah why don't you talk about that okay all'm like, okay. All right. Okay. I still like chicken sandwiches. Yeah. And I can't fix the rainforest from Twitter, dog. I saw Leo. Leo's pretty, he's a noted environmentalist.

He's also a part of our board, so we technically have donated like $5 million to this. We're part of that contingent. Are these fires being like, aren't they like intentionally set? Some of them at least? I think so. You know, farmers burn their... Didn't it rain? Didn't it rain there? Did it?

I think it rained. Oh, good. Which is a good thing. That is good. The thing that people don't realize about rain is that rain makes corn and corn makes whiskey. Yeah. And whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky. Isn't it good to have me back? No.

Hey, let's talk about meat undies. Okay. Okay. Hey, what's that I smell right now? Is that pumpkin spice? The leaves are crunchy. The breeze is crisp. It's officially onesie season.

Or fall. It's coming onesie season. Or fall. It's coming. Fall means back to school, back from vacay. Everything dies. It's sad. But fall is a time for getting soft. It's time to get cozy. It's time to cuddle up.

and I didn't have enough money to put away. Oh, really? Yeah. How close were you to it? My company didn't offer matching. How close were you? I needed more matching.

I wasn't that close. Yeah. Is this about Andrew Luck? Yeah. Do you guys hear he retired? Yeah. That was fun. I got to break that news to people.

Did anyone draft him? That's one of the perks of being on Twitter. Yeah, Todd. He's like a late round guy at this point. He's not yet. He's got the injury concerns. He's a nice second quarterback. Yeah.

It didn't have that much of an effect on drafts. Aren't you in a quarterback league, though? Come on, bro. Of course, OJ was pretty upset with Andrew Luck as he drafted him. Yeah, wow. So you've got to keep that on his radar. I don't know. What are your thoughts on the situation?

It sucks that, you know, it sucks. My thoughts are that I don't really care outside of the Twitter war that has been spawned because of this. The people who act like Andrew Luck owes them anything just need to go shove it right up their asses. I can't stand that shit. Yeah.

Like this is his body, his brain that's like getting beat around. There's one guy that who took his jersey off and they had the camera on him for like 20 seconds. How's that dude feeling today?

He's being super dramatic. But the people who were like, oh, you owe it to the fans to, you know, stick it up. Fuck you. No, he doesn't. No. And people didn't say this shit

about Calvin Johnson who retired at 30. Yeah. Dude, I can't believe Calvin Johnson was 30. He was getting his ass beat on the field more than Andrew Luck is.

And no one really cared about him getting, like, retiring at 30. Yeah, I know, like, this is a, football's a game and we watch it for entertainment, is and no one really cared about him getting like retiring at 30. Yeah. I know like this is a football's a game and we watch it for entertainment, but like this is his livelihood. This is his job. This is how he makes a living. He's like putting his body on the line out there every day.

These people just they need to get a grip. It's not like he's playing for the okay. What are the here's I don't know. I haven't really read any theories out there. What are the chances that when Tom Brady retires, Andrew Luck comes out of retirement and just plays for the Patriots? I don't think... That'd be tight.

The Colts would still own his rights, right? I don't know how that works. I do think there's a good chance that he comes back at some point. Because he is so young. I mean, look. Tom Brady is, what, 42? He's 13 years older than Andrew Luck he's got so many years

to like reconsider I don't want to tell Andrew Luck how to live his life but maybe if he had been drinking 300 ounces of water a day like Tom Brady

does Tom Brady really drink 300 that's what the claim is that's a lot oh yeah well it's a lot it's so much that I feel like

a normal mortal would die. I'm a 100 boy myself, and 300 is too much. Yeah, I think he pees as much as I do. Isn't there a point where it just becomes, like, actually too much for your body to handle? If you chug it, you can definitely die. I know you can, like, fill up your lungs if you drink it too fast.

Some woman, they had, like, some thing going on where they're giving away, away like PS3s or something and some woman drank like a bunch of water. Dude, it was sad. She was trying to win it for her kids. Yeah. Like Christmas. And she died.

It was a water chugging contest? Yeah. Like a radio station. I think you had to drink like a bunch of water and then like the last person to not pee won or something. This is definitely not the science, but there's something it does to your electrons and it reverses something when you drink too much water.

I think it just drowns your body. I know that's not a technical term, but I think you can just drown your body. Yeah. I don't even think it's from that. That's why you should just drink liquid IV. Yeah. Non-spawn, by the way.

No, non-spawn. It's real out there. In rare cases, drinking an extreme amount of water in a short time can be dangerous. It can cause the level of salt or sodium in your blood to drop too low. That's a condition called hyponatremia. It's very serious and can be fatal. You may hear it called water intoxication. That's from WebMD.

You guys seen that? I've seen that. Doug Gottlieb had a take. So, full disclosure, this guy's been a nemesis of mine for a while. He has a Dirk take that I just will not forgive him for. He's had this take that he's very vocal about, about Manu Ginobili being a better player than Dirk take that I just will not forgive him for he's always he's he's had this take that he's very vocal about about Manu Ginobili being a better player than Dirk like I'm having a better

career something let's compare apples to oranges real quick well and uh you know me being a stan are you a Dirk guy yeah a little bit that's fine but this guy I feel like once a year he comes out with just a trash take and he no one gets dunked on harder than doug he got fucking murdered yesterday yeah uh troy acheman actually uh zipped up the body bag yesterday yeah he did says did. So Doug's tweet was retiring. So he made a joke. Retiring because rehabbing is too hard is the most millennial thing ever. Hashtag Andrew Luck.

Now, you know he hashtagged him so he could see it. Troy, quote tweet. Wow, this did numbers, Troy. That's total bullshit, Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life so you're that now the authority on what motivates andrew luck and if his decisions don't fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him guess that keeps you employed on fs1 nice dunking on fs1 while you're at it is so tight. So you know Troy's done this before. So you know Troy works for Fox? Yeah, yeah.

So Skip Bayless is on FS1. Like his show, whatever. What's his show? Him and Shannon? I don't know. They're on FS1 now. Troy won't go on there because he hates Skip Bayless. Nice. Like with a passion. They have a long-standing feud from like

the 90s. Yeah. Because Skip used to be a Dallas media guy. But yeah, so Troy's not afraid to do this. And like, what's Fox going to do? Fire him? Okay. I mean, somebody's picking him up. It's Troy.

Troy has nothing left to prove. Working for Fox and then shitting on FS1 is just tight. It's great. That's like being on the varsity team and just beating the shit out of the JV team. Yeah, like, yeah. Like, that's the company you work for that owns that brand too, buddy. That's what's up. That's just, I love it.

Did you see, like, somebody out there, he got quote tweeted into oblivion being like, is this the most bizarre sports news of the last 10 years? Oh, yeah. Like, dude, shut up. Like, dude, Manti Teo got fucking catfished. Dude, that is the most underreported story. Yeah.

Like, no, this is... A guy retiring at 29 is not the most absurd news. Aaron Hernandez committed murder while playing professional football, playing for the Patriots, and then killed himself in prison. He was executing people. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, that might be a little crazier than someone retiring early, dude.

Yeah, like, what an idiotic? Like what an idiotic tweet, just an idiot. And I don't even think it was, I don't even think he was trying to do like a bit with it. Like, I think it was a serious thing and he just didn't think it through. He's just trying to get in, in the conversation.

I Googled Manti Tao after it. And I was like, surely this happened like more than 10 years ago. Cause he would have to think of this. No, sure enough. It was like 2013. God,

there's, there has been a lot of crazy stories, huh? Yeah. Like the 2011 Mavs, they beat Kobe in his prime, Kevin Durant in his prime, James Harden in his prime, Russell Westbrook in his prime, LeBron, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh. I mean, that's what they went through to get their title.

I mean, that's one of the crazier things. And don't come at me saying that they were all really young, the guys on the Thunder. They were still in their prime. Suck it. Damn. Damn, dude. dude yeah so right i had to do it to them the maths just need more cred i agree god got leap and dude everybody goes at him

for the same thing because you know he had to he has a very a checkered past at notre dame when he was uh he got caught stealing a credit card yeah what's what's up with that? Why did he do that? He's probably a dumb kid. Just an idiot. And now, like, anytime he criticizes anybody, like, it's like clockwork. Somebody comes out of nowhere. I think Torrey Smith had a pretty good tweet about it, too.

I actually had my identity compromised over the last week. Maybe it was Doug Gottlieb doing it. Really? Yeah, they spent $89 at Walgreens. Not how I would have spent it. Nah. If you're going to get out of there with $89 at Walgreens, that's all you got? That's just a panic move because there's a Walgreens on every corner.

At least do like $200 at Walgreens or like $300. Go to like Dave & Busses or something. You could buy beer at Walgreens. Yeah. So maybe that's what they did. Maybe that's what they did. Would you be upset or like would you feel better about it if you found out like they just bought a bunch of claws?

If they bought like a 12, if they bought a variety pack of white claw and I could confirm that, I would authorize that one and then cancel the credit card. I'd be like, let them have that. I'll pay for that. That's respectable. Maybe they just bought a bunch of variety packs.

Yeah, and in which case, that's fine. Will you tell your scramble story from this weekend? Before you break down your fantasy team? Yeah, which one do you want first? Either one. You want my roster? Both are highly engaging. So, we do our fantasy draft every year, and it's always a golf trip. Play two rounds.

Friday we played just our own ball. We played a wolf game. And Saturday we do team scramble, a little money game. Scrambies. Scrambies, four-man teams. And a lot of fun we're playing at barton creek playing the foothills course really nice course highly recommend the uh barton creek resort if you're um looking for a place in austin that's non-spawn that's just a

show they should sponsor the pod they should they should especially since they charge uh twenty dollars a head for wi-fi if you're trying to rent one of their banquet rooms for your draft um ahead ahead holy shit yeah yeah that's what we said well that's what we said we said we're not $20 a head for Wi-Fi if you're trying to rent one of their banquet rooms for your draft. A head? A head. Holy shit. Oh, fuck off. Yeah, that's what we said. Well, that's what we said.

We said we're not. We took a stand. We spent money completely idiotically the rest of the weekend, but that was too far for us. Just out of principle. That's absurd. Yeah, so we play, and my team was, you know, a bit of a good little team, but our front nine, we had two bogeys.

So we, we went into the turn even. Yeah. Then we caught fire, caught fire. We were, uh, going into 18,

five under, and we knew we were close to the lead. We were either in the lead or maybe up by one. So, and we were coming up the fairway. We were one of the last groups. So everybody's kind of around the 18th green. Some of the guys come up in like a cart,

and they're going to like, you know, watch us play the hole, you know. So it's a par five. It's probably my favorite hole on the course. Big downhill tee shot. You get a lot of those out at Barton Creek. Ending a scramble on a par five is like, it's ideal. It's so fun.

And it's a big risk reward. So there's a creek in front of the green you're you're uh you know you have about 220 in so it's like okay this is tough so we let everybody lays up i hit a seven iron i we use my drive i hit a seven iron about i don't know to about 80 yards 78 yards and uh another guy in our group who's a longer hitter, he missed the green. He went for it. So we go up to my ball, and a couple of the guys come over,

and one of them drops the ball. He's like, hey, let's go closest to the pin for five bucks. I was like, okay. So we're all kind of drunk at this point. We've been drinking Claws. I drank Claws all weekend, by the way. It might be my favorite golf course drink. How was the hangover? Not bad.

Yeah. It's weird. Makes sense. so i go out of order i'd been hitting third or fourth and i just dropped a ball it was a callaway ball shout out to chad is one of the new steph curry balls which uh very tight might have seen my portrait mode at dc rough on instagram drop one and uh we shoot it with a little gun it's about 78 yards so uh i hit a little knockdown sand wedge and two bounces later i dunked it really for eagle shit that's fucking tight yeah 18 on the scramble holy shit yeah it was tight did did it have any uh did it change the standings of the official scramble? We ended up, that made us win by like two or three.

We were up by one. So you still probably would have won? We would have won, yeah. But we didn't know what the group behind us was doing. And we didn't know. Because everybody does the thing like, hey, what are y'all at? And everybody just lies. Like, oh, we're playing like shit.

When really they're not. Or they're like, oh, dude, we're like eight under. You can't get a straight answer. yeah i dunked it and like so ross was there was like some people who'd already finished like at the green and like ross and those guys um and yeah it was it was like i don't know my reaction like so like i threw the club down then like everybody kind of mobbed me it was fun it was like i haven't had a moment like that like i think ever yeah to do it on 18

when everyone's watching yeah that's tight so it was like my most it was my probably my most fun moment

on a golf course ever I've never had a hole in one but I've no that'll do it I've drained them from a distance before

but never on a par 3 but this was fun scramble's like that with multiple groups when you have consecutive tee times so you're like backed up against each other.

Those are so much fucking fun. That's what it was. It was so great. And if you're the first group, that's the power of positioning because you can always hold back a little bit and razz the group behind you. God, that shit's fun. Good for you, Dave. It was fun.

God. Yeah, it just felt good. Of course it did. Dude, honestly, if you get a hole-in-one with me, Dylan, and Micah or something, it's not going to be as much fun as you dunking that from 72. No, because, I mean... You don't have the whole squad. You don't have the squad.

We're not going to be as sauced up. Yeah. Like, you know, it was great, man. It felt good. Walking up there, reaching down, pulling it out. Did you tip your cap? Tipped my cap. That's big.

It's fashion, bro. Good for you, Dave. All right, so now you're a fantasy team. Who's your quarterback? Aaron Rodgers. Let's just break it down. Aaron Rodgers. What do you think about that?

And I picked up Russell Wilson late. Oh, wow. He was still on the board. I like having that one-two punch. I don't know how he was available still. Sure. Are you guys in the back the backer uh fantasy soccer league uh no man yeah somehow missed that dude come on it's it's fun we're having fun over here

are you still dominating it uh no i've had a down couple weeks so i'm i'm top four but like i'm within striking distance okay yeah but it's honestly really important for me to do well in it because I don't want any haters out there telling me that I don't know anything about soccer. So I want to do well just to like dunk on people. Yeah. There's actually 56 people in our little thing. I was pretty bummed yesterday when I texted you

to see if there was soccer on because I was kind of, the golf was just. Will's soccer guide baseline baseline there's more games on saturday that makes sense and then they put a big game on sunday and so normally you like if you want to fix you got to go saturday sunday yesterday they got the games over relatively early i think the time change is kind of weird for us once the time flips it gets a little bit like i think maybe later i forget my brain can't comprehend those kind of things yeah well good for you

what's the winner get in that fantasy league I'm not sure actually let's just say winner gets a $150 gift certificate to the wash media store how about that

how about that how about that what if it's you though then I'll gift it to whoever I want to my boy Dave who's also in the league major shouts to Dave Dave. To my boy Dave, who's also in the league. Major shouts to Dave.

He's Dave. He's my boy. Okay. Yeah. Man. I felt so afterwards, like, dude, have you ever done that before? And I was like, yeah. And I, like, how far?

I was like, 190, 140, and then, like, 100 another time. I was like uh 190 uh 140 and then uh like 100 another time I was like yeah it's not good your your approach shots are good I've never holed out from over like 50 yards no never must be nice you know look I'm gonna have a lot of those I'm never gonna have hole-in-one did you see Xander had his first hole-in-one yeah that was crazy professional hole-in-one or just hole-in-one I think ever see Xander had his first hole-in-one? Yeah, that was crazy. Professional hole-in-one or just hole-in-one? I think ever, right? It was of his career, I know. But they also messed up while they were talking about it,

so I was a little unsure what was going on. Okay, well, I might be wrong on that. They admitted, they're like, oh, we thought it was Chez Revy, whatever. Like, his first hole-in-one. Apparently, he's had more. I was like, what's going on here? Shout out to Xander.

Yeah. He said he pulled it, too. He got a very generous bounce kick from the edge of the green there. Good for him. I would definitely not have been like, yeah, I yanked that a little bit. Well, Xander. That's a flex, though. Yeah, it is.

Oh, yeah. It didn't really come off the club well. Should we talk about my bookie real quick? Sure. It's been a while since we've hung out with my bookie well now that football season has come dude it couldn't get here soon enough and here we are yeah did you guys have any money on that game every dude on saturday night was watching miami versus florida on the tvs on the in delta like because you can watch live TV there. Every single dude was just crushing the game. I didn't have any money on it. Betting week zero

or even week one. It's scary. Yeah, you haven't seen the teams play yet. I'm getting some skin in the game week one. I think I'm going to as well. I might match that spread on the UT game. My bookie does the live in-game betting, which is so much fun.

So the line moves during the game according to how the game is progressing. that spread on the UT game. My bookie does the live in-game betting, which is so much fun. Yeah. So the line moves during the game, you know, according to how the game is progressing and all that. You can also bet on like run versus pass, like anything. Yeah, a lot of prop bets. Love the prop bets.

A lot of prop bets. It's just great. A lot of prop bets. You can also, I mean, you can bet on football or football. You can bet on any sport there, yeah.

Could you bet on whether or not Dave dunks it from 72 yards out? I don't think Dave is on board. They're not doing scrambles. They didn't have live betting for your outing? No. That's lame. Pete, you still owe me $5 for that, by the way, if you're listening. You're not.

Wow. Come on, Pete. I'm just saying. Dude, Pete, figure it out. Pete better. Well, today's episode is brought to you by MyBookie. For all your betting needs this season, check out MyBookie. Use promo code STEAM.

Real quick, though. Yeah. Texas is going to beat that spread up. Because you know Terry Bradshaw talked some shit about Texas and Sam Allinger. Well, I'm just hoping that Tom Herman can get his first ever opening day win. Is that true? Oh, yeah, Maryland twice. He just loses to Maryland opening day.

You can't be doing that. Yeah, Terry Bradshaw, like some La Tech thing, like was talking shit. And it was just really, it was bad luck. Hey, Terry Bradshaw, maybe you don't talk shit about a college quarterback, you dickhead. Yeah, dude, it's like, okay,

you're a grown man, like chill out. But I think Texas is going to just, obviously it's La Tech, so they're going to win the game. I think they're going to beat them by like 40. I don't like Tom Herman. I think Ellinger on Twitter is really annoying, but I'm all in on the Longhorns this season.

I'm riding with them. It's going to be fun. You know, Dylan, did you see Dylan's? Dylan went fuego. He matched the viral tweet button. Yeah, people didn't like it. What was it? I just said that Texas is going to beat OU and LSU.

And Jalen Hurts is a mediocre quarterback. Oh, LSU. And Jalen Hurts is a mediocre quarterback. Oh, yeah, I said Jalen Hurts is an average quarterback. I stand by all of it. God, and then our group text yesterday. Y'all were fucking, I was like looking at it, and y'all were arguing about Texasville. I was like, dude, fuck them. Someone said, intern Klein said that Ellinger was injury prone.

I was like, wait, he played every game last season, and then they took him out for the Baylor game because his finger got stomped on. Klein's a known hater. I was like, wait, he played every game last season, and then they took him out for the Baylor game because his finger got stomped on. Klein's a known hater. I was like, come on, dog. I'm not even a defender of him, but I feel like we can't criticize him on that front yet. Yeah, is he injury prone?

He also gets beat the hell up because of play calling. Yeah, he runs the ball a lot. That's my issue, Herman. Herman runs him into the ground. Klein, come on, dog. Take your head out. Hey, let's talk about Succession. I was really bummed to

miss that segment last week, too. I've been very much enjoying this season. Last night was episode three of season two. It was called Hunting, which immediately I knew it was going to be tight. Maybe the best episode so far. For me, it's my favorite episode that's ever been in this series

so far yeah probably for me as well so they go to hungary to go hunting retreat which is tight because everyone's doing hungry hog hunting retreats they didn't need to go to hungary for that uh they could just come out to the ranch could have gone like uh pretty much anywhere the scene where they were just pulling all the range rovers up to the compound was literally the tightest scene ever i was just like this is awesome it was so sick like it's just what i want it was essentially the sunday scary's instagram page all in one scene of this movie i was like this is so tight i guess tv show a private jet looks stocked too that was a larger private jet yeah you got to got to think that Waystar has a big private jet game. Yeah.

Bigger than ours. Bigger than ours. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, this episode was uncomfortable. I don't know if... Amazing. The way those...

I guess you can't really call them blinds, but when they were hunting the hogs, the way they were all positioned by each other... I've never seen that and they had rifles like i'm calling bullshit on that whole situation i kind of was thinking that too because it first of all it it's not it doesn't seem safe it's definitely not safe when animals are like crossing yeah between that's not how you but if you're all shooting down to like the same area it's kind of like i got like a gun what is it called shooting squad that like kills people

firing squad firing squad sorry it's like a firing squad like you don't know who actually kills this person well yeah but just to have high caliber rifles and that close cores with no no shotguns that's different because you can't kill someone from that kind of range but a rifle i don't know yeah i was i was wondering that too i thought that was strange and then like uh i don't know they were hunting with dogs and then like they blew that horn and then like the hogs just ran out i don't know there wasn't enough dogs yeah i wanted more of those things and as we know, because we learned it during an episode, a Great Dane is best suited for that job.

Remember we talked about that? Those just look like bird dogs. Yeah. And they weren't wearing the vest, the protective one, so they don't get gored. Just very unsafe. Reckless. I don't like how they're doing that in Hungary.

I don't know, man. Yeah, that was interesting. They were all rocking some serious fits, though. Yeah, the fits were through the roof. Kendall's hat was just hilarious. He didn't need to wear that giant ear flap hat with the fur all over it. But, you know, Kendall likes getting fits off, so he did. Can we talk about Conor real quick?

Let's talk about con dog uh he dropped perhaps one of the greatest lines of the whole series which is what you don't hyper decant hyper decanting i thought he was making a smoothie so i was really confused and then when he poured it into the thing i was like oh he's just pouring straight out of a blender i was like he's making beet juice or something and then like like no he's hyper decanting he's hyper decanting age out of a blender. I was like, he's making beet juice or something. And then like, like, no, he's hyper decanting. He's hyper decanting. Age of five years in 10 seconds. Has anyone like, have we fact checked this?

I assume it's a thing. Uh, cause it, it, it, theoretically it makes sense, right? Get the oxygen in there by just blending the shit out of it.

Well, lifehacker.com wrote a, a thing in 2012 that said, Hyper decanting. Better wine in a minute, you impatient Philistine. Okay. So I don't know if he, was that a blender he had it in? Because they actually sell hyper decanters.

It looked like just a regular blender. Well, yeah, you can age it five years in a minute. Just toss it in the vitamin. Why wouldn't you do that? Ten seconds. Yeah. There's a Breville, the Sommelier BWD 600 SIL electric hyperspeed decanter. You can get that on Amazon, $4.94.99.

So, are we going to do this? $500 for basically a blender. Think about the money you'll save because of the tannins. I don't think you're saving any money there, Dave. Why can't you just shake the bottle? That's a great point. It doesn't hyper decant. You shake it.

Everybody knows that. And you know the bottle of wine that he was drinking didn't need hyper decanting. He was probably drinking like a $10,000 bottle of wine anyway. You can also over decant. Can, you can also over decant. Can you? You can over decant. I don't know. Everyone knows that.

I feel like you only hyper decant if you have like an average bottle of wine or like a cheap one. I wonder how this thing works. Oh, just a little video. I mean, I didn't really like him. And then this season, he's been getting better for me. Last season, I was like,

oh, I just wish they would just take his entire storyline out i'm all in on him running for president yeah i'm really interested in this flat tax he's proposing this is something this is new you rarely see anybody propose a flat tax yeah um yeah his character is really coming along nicely it's surprisingly nicely uh yeah i was wondering what they're gonna do with them i almost need more like i want to know what is he running i'm assuming he's running as a is he like running as an independent probably the last person to push the flat tax was that steve forbes i think so dude steve i used to like be like when i was a kid i was like who's this guy talking like this this you know it's different shit i thought i was not talking about someone else's politics but my Dude, Steve, I used to be, when I was a kid, I was like, who's this guy talking this different

shit? I thought I was a big flat tax guy. Not to talk someone else's politics, but I think my dad kind of liked it at the time. Steve, it makes sense. On paper, you're like, yeah, flat tax, that's fair. I'm more of a freedom dividend kind of guy now that Andrew Yang and I follow each other on Twitter. I bet we could get Yang on the pod.

Dude, he's all in. He's all in. Let's get him on. Do you want me to DM him? Yeah, I do, actually. I'll DM him today. Do it, bitch. Yeah, when you follow

someone like that famous and then you get that follow back, it really shocked me. And I was like, oh, he probably follows like 100,000 people. He only follows like 5K.

We might be a Yang podcast. Are we bailing on Tulsi? No, no. Let's go Yang Tulsi or Tulsi Yang. One of the two. Okay. I'm fine with either.

I need to know more about Yang. I'm 100% listening. He's a Silicon Valley guy, right? Yeah, and I'm 100% going to listen to his Rogan. I did not listen to his Rogan. I'm going to go back and listen to it today. I need to. Yeah.

Yep. Should we talk about Boar on the Floor? Dude. There are people saying that we need to change the name and by people i mean one dude on twitter saying that we need to change expose him to boar on the floor that was just upsetting that was one of the most uncomfortable scenes um i've ever watched on television i didn't get uncomfortable because i was just happy it was happening like that when he said lock the doors and he was fucking with that guy about pissing in the bucket, I was psyched. I was like, oh, shit is about to hit the fan.

And then when he let the guy off and didn't make him piss in the bucket, I was like, oh, man, he's not going to go as hard. So when it started panning out that Logan was just going to rip everyone apart, I was psyched. Dude, how fucked would I have been if he wouldn't even let people go on bathroom breaks? You would have had to piss in the bucket. I would have just been peeing in buckets. Yeah.

Yeah. Damn. Yeah. So you know what they... So we watched the after the episode, little director's moment, where they kind of describe what the scenes were inspired by.

So apparently that's an old Stalin, Joseph Stalin, noted communist dictator. It's an old stalin joseph stalin noted uh communist dictator um it's an old stalling tactic to get people like your your inner circle like hammered while you just stay completely sober and try to get stuff out of them yeah and then humiliate them i've heard people doing that or like just not actually doing it but talking about doing it like when you're out with like a client or something it's like oh yeah get them drunk stay more sober and just get shit done yeah i'm not maniacal like that and i also don't have a good uh restraint when people are having fun and getting

hammered together so you can get all the information out of me that you want for me like i'll let you order the big mouth burger and i'll just have like a salad. You know, keep a clear mind. I was, I was, I respected the hell out of fact that Tom did not sell out cousin Greg. Yeah. That was the realest moment I've ever seen. Why?

Okay. Why? That was the opening scene. That solidified their bond. They're straight up boys. They're straight up boys. Why did, why did Greg do that in the first place?

I was wondering that too. I like, I did enjoy the fact that he was like, no, it's a pre-meeting. The pre-meeting, yeah. The precursor to the actual meeting. Yeah, well, I don't know why he would do that. Like, Greg needs to fly as, like, indiscreet as possible at this point. Because he could easily just get axed out.

Also, last night, great reminder that Greg is like six, seven as he's towering over Kendall. He's huge. He's just a giant man. How was Greg even invited to this retreat? How's he important enough? He's in the C-suite now, dog.

Yeah. He's somehow, no, I mean, he definitely shouldn't be like his trajectory in this show has gone way. He like, he had a way too easy route to the top. Well,

he did that. He did that thing for Tom in season one. True. And I'm guessing Tom had something to do with his rise. Like, him being kind of taken into the fold. Yeah, true. I didn't think about that. So, yeah. That was nice.

I was worried. We're obviously... They can't get rid of Greg. So, they can't just kick him out and, like... No, and I don't want them to, just to be clear. The person who ended up taking the fall, Moe or something? I don't remember Moe. I don't either.

And how did that come about? And Moe's dead. I'm wondering if Greg had Moe killed. I don't think Greg would do something like that. Greg's a Machiavellian genius. How would he have him killed? I don't know. Stay tuned.

Greg was too scared. Stay tuned. Greg was too scared stay tuned greg was too scared even if you're greg i would have been like yeah i went and talked to her and say shit dude what about kendall kendall kendall you cannot predict like he's the hardest character to read right now he's lifeless you don't know well he's he's emotionless i think he's back i think he's just knows what he is and he's, and he's just carrying water for his dad, I guess. But that back and forth with him and his brother with Roman, and then he comes back to turn it against Roman like that.

It's like, dude, wow, that was cold-blooded. Did not even see that coming. Yeah. And Roman, we talked about this last week. Roman kind of sucks this season. He's still great,'s he's more like he's just more unlikable I can see that episode two was when they shut down right yeah okay you got any takes on sorry I I just I mean you got to shut down Walter knowing that he had the incriminating call log in his phone when kindle took it why wasn't he more like i see eventually he's like all right fine after he initially tried

to fight it and get it back he's like okay fine take it i'm like why i'd be like hey dad i'm throwing punches i'd be like dad kindle let's go in a room together let's let's sort this out don't embarrass me in front of everybody it's weird that he let him have his phone like that yeah if what if i was doing that to one of you like you'd be an idiot to give me your passcode yeah let's hope it didn't come maybe kendall just put it maybe kendall just put it in front of his face and got the face id it wears out i'd love to see that that would work uh dude he has the slimmest shirts i've ever fucking seen i was thinking they're uncomfortably slim. Yeah. He's also very skinny. He has no...

He has no lat muscles. It just... His... His... I mean, they were making fun of Tom's suits, which was a great line for Tom, just being like, fuck off, Shiv,

at the dinner party. I did... I loved that. But, like, you can't talk from that standpoint. His are, like, too tailored. They look uncomfortable. It looks like you would have

really bad pit stains. Yes. Pit stains, and it looks like it would just be coming, like, your shirt would be coming untucked in the back at every single movement. They look like the old Banana Republic shirts. I don't know these.

I do. They're just slim as hell. Yes. Yeah, I don't love it. How do we feel about Shiv? She's going to end up getting screwed, right? Dude, I don't know what her plan is but yeah she's definitely it's definitely not gonna go like this dude logan's gonna he doesn't give a fuck he will fuck everybody over he's riding this thing all the way yeah he's not he's not gonna hand over the reins the only way that we actually see a successor at this point is if he actually dies irl he's is he gonna get a get an Emmy nod for this? He should.

He was amazing last night. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen. He was awesome. He's good. There was a moment, I meant to take a photo of it, where he was saying some fucking wild shit to somebody and everybody looked scared and serious. And I saw Greg's face in the background

and it looked like he broke character and was kind of smirking and like, because. Really? Yeah. I might go back and try to get that. But, yeah, it was. I could see that'd be a hard episode to film if you're trying to play, like, a terrified, scared person.

Oh, dude, imagine the B-roll they have of just, like, the stuff on the cutting room floor of Logan just going crazy on people has to be awesome. Oh, yeah's terrifying yeah i don't know how they work for that guy i know will they make a shitload of money i understand but good god that dinner scene the boar on the floor shit and if i work for him i am going to be just a complete puppet for him i like i would just throw all my morals out the window and be like whatever logan wants logan gets i'm gonna make as much money as possible hopefully retire at the age of 50 and be done with it dude they brought frank frank back to frank is i

fucking love frank frank get out of there dude frank's got what frank did to wrong them uh i don't really remember either so he was like, he was kind of babysitting Roman early last season. I can't remember why he got let go, but I remember it being fucked up. Like, I remember it was like, kind of like the first glimpse into how shitty Logan was. Yeah. Yeah, I don't really remember what Frank did either. But I also, I have a terrible memory. That hurt.

When he went at Frank at the beginning of that, like at the dinner, that was uncomfortable. I was like, dude, why are you doing this? You brought him back. What kind of watch did he give him? You got to assume it was something expensive. It wasn't a Timex.

He was the COO of Waystar. Okay. So now Logan, or I'm sorry, now Kendall and Roman are the co-CEOs, right? Yeah. I don't know.

I know that Kendall's hard to watch right now, but I kind of like it. I kind of like that he's just, has no emotions and will do whatever

his dad tells him to do. But I'm still waiting for him just to have that like moment where he just comes out of it. He just snaps. Yeah,

he's got the doubt. I almost thought that moment was when he shut down Volter. Yeah, it kind of was a little bit. Did not see that coming. I liked it. Did your mind flash back to that whole Barstool drama of the unions? You talked about that. Yeah, that's got to be... I was like, Sally, that's going to come back to bite him.

She's like, no, it's fucking not. The rules don't apply to Kendall, Sally, that's going to come back to bite him. She's like, no, it's fucking not. The rules don't apply to Kendall. I was like, yeah, that's fair. Great show. Strong episode, man. By the way, there are spoilers in this segment. Oh, yeah. Yeah, fast forward.

Rewind and then fast forward if we spoiled anything for you. That's our bad. That's why we got the timestamps. We'll figure it out. Shouts to Shiv, by the way. I told Sally last night, I was like, I have a low-key crush on Shiv this season. I was like, I don't know if it's because she's more powerful or what. She cheated on Tom, dog.

Yeah, but they're in an open relationship. Is it actually open? I think so. It's a little more open than I thought. Yeah. She cheated on him with a dude that doesn't have screens. Yeah, dude, fuck. That guy sucked.

He sucked. Fuck that guy. He sucked. Yeah. She awkwardly invited herself to go have drinks with Connor's girlfriend. She wouldn't, yeah. Yeah, but that was part of the plan to get it off the... Yeah.

To get Connor off the video situation. Oh, dude, did you see what beer he was drinking in that video? Major shouts to Michigan Brewery Bells. Oh, really? Two-hearted ale. It's a good beer. I drank about 100 of those last week, and seeing that kind of triggered me last night.

I was like, oh, my God, I don't want any of those anymore. They're actually making a new one. This is breaking news. Bell's is making a new two-hearted ale that's called the light-hearted ale that is a less aggressive IPA. A session beer, as Dylan would call them. See, I can mess with that.

I've been looking for a less aggressive IPA. Yeah, yeah. Need more session ales. We made a Pine House in a minute. I wouldn't mind going there this week. We could get some pizza off this week. Maybe we session ales. We made a Pine House in a minute. I wouldn't mind going there this week. We could get some pizza off this week. Maybe we do it tomorrow. Maybe we do.

If they have a cauliflower crust, we can... Dude, stop. David, stop. The only thing that I've come around on when it comes to health food replacements for bad food is the Cite tortilla chips. Yeah. I'm okay with those now. I'm fine with that because for the most part the tortilla chip is a vehicle. The tortillas is something I won't do.

That's different. Yeah, you're right. The tortillas, like, if you're really trying to be healthy, like, good for you, but it is not a replacement. They're right in the same spot at the supermarket I go to

as the homemade tortillas. And I'm like, how can you justifiably grab a stack of these versus a stack of these? It just makes no sense to me. Should we get of here yeah i think we probably should fun stuff um i'm not saying that there might be a shirt dropping today on washmedia.com shop you kidding me uh i think that people might like it um i'm just saying, look out. I don't even know what's going on with this.

It's tight. Also, patreon.com slash circlingbackpodcast. Go sign up. I've got some catching up to do on Bachelor in Paradise, but I will be suited and booted, ready to go on Wednesday for that episode. Heck yeah. Let's do it. See you guys later.
