It was some metal ranchos All right, we're back It's a circling back podcast It's Monday morning I've got a serious tone, don't I? Yeah, what's going on, man? You all right? I've got something I got to tell y'all.

Oh, shit. I'm just gonna, can I just get it out now? Did Malbant sponsor you? No, I wouldn't joke about that. I wouldn't be here right now. Okay, what is it, dude? Saturday night I had a top three baked potato of my life.

Whoa. It's so good. I couldn't possibly care less about your baked potato. No offense. I mean, I was a little worried because we were out of sour cream. I still loaded it down. Maybe it was a little heavy-handed on the butter. But it was just delightful.

And I'm still thinking about it to this day. A healthy fat man. You know about that. Producer Randy. Hi, Dave. Hi. New food pyramid just dropped. I saw that.

I heard whispers of this. What's, what's diff about it? Well, you see, you see, Dylan, it's inverted. Okay. But are the,

do the levels change? I think they mainly are focusing on more whole foods. So more eggs. Big for you. It's the season. Yeah. All right.

More eating whole, for sure. Come on. It's too early in the week to say a joke like that. Someone did describe it, though. I watched it real.

They're like, your whole foods are the ones out on the perimeter of the grocery, not like in the aisles. I'm like, oh, I guess it does make sense. Like the produce and like the milk and cheese. It's all the perimeter of the grocery store. The milk and cheese? The milk and cheese. The refrigerated section. Hey, I talked to your girl. Oh, okay. She told me over the weekend, you got out what a burgered. Is that true? That flat out did not happen. She said, you've been out what a burger. Like the commercial? She's a Cali girl, which means if

we're going to get a burger. If it's not Pete, we go to Pete Terry's, but other than that, it's in and out. Oh, she knows all the, oh, she's a tactical girl. The secret, uh, menu, like off menu items, you know. Thank you. Like the Flying Dutchman is a grilled cheese sandwich. It's not on the menu. A grilled, uh, what is it?

A Flying Dutchman is a grilled cheese sandwich at In and Out. No, according to pretty sure is Davey Jones's ship. According to my, my girlfriend from California. Oh, here we go. go, this guy's got a girlfriend. Randy, you got a girlfriend, too. She got a white dog. She's a huge Pete Terry's girl, not in and out.

She loves Pete Terry's. Pete Terry's is dope, man. I think it's the best fast food burger can get. It's very good. I won't fight you on that. And now that they do two lanes. They got one in Louisiana? I got two lanes.

Two lanes of traffic, please. We've got a lot of mileage out of the number two just now. Oh, were you doing Pat Green? No, he's no. Kevin Gates. I got two lanes. Kevin Gates. To get this fast food.

Is that Kevin Gates? Yeah. Two phones. For some reason, I thought that was Titty Boy. Maybe I'm wrong. He hasn't gone by Titty Boy in a long time. That's two chains. That's right.

Two lanes. Do you have anything you want to do with your intro? I talked about the food pyramid. It's Dungeons and Dwagons Night tonight. What are you doing with your socks? I don't know. I think I'm, I think I'm done.

I think I'm done with long socks. I thought you were doing. So Randy's wearing black joggers, I assume, the rowback. Yes. And it looked from this angle like he had his white tube socks pulled over like hot girls do. Like Brett does? No, don't say Brett does that. There's a kid on Parks' baseball team who tucks his pants into his socks and he pulls his socks up to his knees.

Never see anything like it. That's old school. No, no, no, no. He tucks his pants down into his socks. Instead of just pulling the pant leg up to reveal the sock. That's some stuff like that your toddler, like when you're getting them dressed for the game, like does. And then you're like, no, we're not going to do that. And then they get mad.

And you're like, you know what? Not my battle. Or you're like, it's cute because you're a toddler and you clearly dressed yourself. So we're going to let it go. Yeah. But this kid is, I don't know, 10. Oh, yeah. That's right.

Yeah. What type of pants is he wearing? It's like jeans? Baseball. Baseball. Oh, okay. On the field. Yeah, baseball pants.

Gotcha. Which like Dave was just saying, like, that was a little. look, I don't know if it still is. Girls do that with like leggings and they put the socks over the leggings. Yeah, that's, that's deaf. I think it's a sneaky hot look. I think so too. Chels does it. I think it's a sneaky hot look. It's a good look. It's a good look. It's a good look. But yes, no. Yeah, Chilf does that. But I think I've done. I think I've done with long socks. I know that it's all the rage. I prefer. I like showing my ankles, man. I like, I like, I don't care. No, no show socks. I don't, I don't care.

I mean, I kicked it off with a dope anecdote about baked potato. and then range like, I'm done with long socks. You're the one that was talking about my socks. You invited me into the conversation. Yeah, but the way I did it, though, was different. Okay, do you want me to talk about my Dungeons & Wagon's Night tonight? Is that why you're wearing the shirt? It is why I'm wearing the shirt.

Who are you doing it with? My friend's back home online. First of the year. Dude, online D&D. Yeah. I was D&D this whole weekend, you know. Don't hit me up. I'm relaxing.

I thought you're going to say you're the designated driver. No, do not disturb. And I'd be like, no, I was a designated drinker. Do not disturb. Designated drinker. That's what Dave was over the weekend. I don't know if you missed that. That's a Hollywood Undead lyric.

Did you ever listen to Hollywood Undead? It's a country song. It'll be shocked to learn. Oh, okay. Did a guy did a... I feel like that would be like your reaction? Oh, no, you're right. That's an older one.

He likes the new poppy bullshit stuff. Yeah. He was like, oh, you're just. it's like one you just throw out to your friends you're like yeah tonight i'm all d tonight and they're oh that's really cool man designated drink like oh okay we're suing someone so it's just like every other weekend hey it's your turn to not drink sorry i can't tonight i've been designated uh drinking so hey this is the guy we chose to drink all night we actually got too many beers would you guys like some actually him over there he's designated drinker you have

Give him. You have to give it to him. Larry. I have a friend named Larry. Okay. Dylan Schiver. You don't meet many Larry's. First of all, happy to be here.

I feel good about the week. It's going to be a good week of content. Secondly, I'm in a major thermostat battle at home. And it's tearing my house apart right now. I want to ask you how egregious this was by a certain person that I live with, who's not my son. Okay. So it's cold outside. I woke up, it was actually 38 degrees when I woke up this morning.

That's chilly. When we go to sleep, we like it cool in our room. I think most people like it somewhat cool. But when it's cold outside, I like to put the heat on at like a low level. So like, you know, it doesn't get too cold in the house. Like 68, 67, somewhere in there. So that it doesn't dip too low. So I had the heat on and about to crawl into bed.

And I'm like, ooh, it's chilly in here. I'm going to go check. The thermostat. It was like, this air feels like it's cool. Someone in my house put the air conditioner on and turned it down to 69. Nice. The air conditioner, and it couldn't be more winter right now. Couldn't be more winter.

Right in the middle of it, 38 degrees this morning. The AC, as you're going to bed, it could be more winter. What are we doing? I stay on what challenge. I stand with Chelsea. You said this wasn't, was it Stella? It was not Stella. I can understand just cutting the heat and just letting it cool.

Yeah, that would be the preferred method, but she clearly understands the optimum way to sleep is have a, you know, in the upper 60s. I agree on that. Here's my problem with, I agree with Dylan here. This was becoming a little problem with the end of me and my roommate right before. I'm like, I'm not going to get a big fight about this because we're about to not be living together. But I'm like, if it's too cold, if it's too warm inside and you want to go to sleep, don't turn their conditioning on. Just open the window for like in your room for like 10 minutes and then close it. That will cool down the space and not make the whole place cold.

That's in play if it's like 55, 60 out. But when it's 38, it's going to get real cold real fast. That's not, that's not really an option. Just do one of these. Like Chelsea, what are we doing? I'm going to get pneumonia. Let me tell you this about the heater. and I've had doctors verify this with science.

The heater dries you out, like your actual, like, if you're a nose breather, which you should be while you sleep, really dries out your nasal cavities. Heaters do. Now, you probably aren't going to have the heater running all. No, it's not going to run all night. Like I said, you said a low base, so it doesn't dip below, call it 68 degrees.

I don't want to say six, seven, because you guys are immature. It doesn't dip below 68. So, like, the heat will kick on for a couple of minutes and then it'll shut off. You know, but maybe she wants it so cold for some spoonage. She does like to cuddle. I can't. See, I agree with you. I don't.

I can't. I can't. I'll give you, I'll give you like a courtesy cuddle right before we go to bed. But when it's actually time to sleep, I need my space. Yeah. I'm a furnace when I get hot when I sleep. I can't do it. Yeah.

All those dreams. Yeah, I get hot because of my dreams. All them hot dreams. Yeah. dream about being in the hot tub in the sauna? No. That'd be wild, wouldn't it? Yeah, something like that.

Be relaxing. So if I come in here, sad and heartbroken. Billings facing the jets. If I come in here, heartbroken and sad, it's because the thermostat just destroyed our relationship. Oh, I'm sorry, buddy. That's terrible. There's plenty of fish to see.

Other than that, things are great. You ever had somebody tell you that? There's plenty of fish in the sea. Yeah. I really, I think if someone like, I earnestly said that to me, I'd be like, once you shut the fuck out. Yeah. Yeah.

Catch and release, huh? Tarr, I can, I can co-assine. There are plenty of fish in the sea. No, yeah. It's back, folks. I think if you have a dream that you're in a hot tub, you probably just pissed yourself. Hoss, been there. Yeah.

Yeah. That's what it is. that's the worst kind of hot tub a piss hot tub a piss hot tub it's like damn dude of all the things to dream about yeah you know what i'm saying campbell i do man i do uh man hey last week was a movie podcast movie we did cold calls on tuesday listener voicemails on friday as we do this week listener voicemails will drop Friday and tomorrow we will have Randy drum roll exactly five minutes whoa what were you typing I was find the information no I was I was responding to someone in the chat okay oh cool man I'm interacting with the people in the chat

that's what you get sometimes when you tune in live you can talk to me in chat sometimes. That's everyone's dream, man. Someone called me a big time cuddle boy, and I had to say, yes, big and little spoon. I'm not ashamed. Really? Oh, yeah. I just, you wake up, you're a little warm.

There's like a hair stuck to your face, and you're like, wow. Yeah. You're a cuddly boy. Look at you. I'm a little cuddled boy. That's all Patreon. Go check it out. Go see what the cuddle boys are up to on Patreon.

Um, what else? Oh yeah, we dropped a banger on subby. Subsdack. We did. On Substasy. I didn't want to overhype my call, but I enjoyed it. Yeah, when you said what it was about last week when you teased it, I was thinking, damn, who is he about the flame?

Just a movie. But that movie, rightfully so. It's a big pile of crap. It's a big old piece of shit. I don't know how it got made. Big old pilot ducky. Yeah. I watched the Golden Globes last night. It wasn't nominated. What? That's weird. That's on wash.substack.com. It'll hit your inbox every Friday morning. It's fantastic.

Hey, let's talk about our weekend and 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 at by a prostitute. Let's just go have fun and they'd go alone. Little more, girls. Let's go. Recapping this weekend and fun presented by our good friends at Toccova's. Toccova's boots are handcrafted with over 200 meticulous steps for broken in comfort right out of the box.

That means you slide them on. You go down to the Ticova store, maybe right there out around South Congressway. Slide them on. You buy them. Put them on and say, whoa. Feels like I've had these boots for years, but I haven't. I've had them for like a minute. Yeah.

Walk outside. Maybe you scuff up those leather bottoms because you need a little traction. And you're good to go. It's like you've owned them for 10 years, man. They're so comfortable. Buy them, put them on, go down to the spoke, steal somebody's girl. Twirl her around, maybe flip her. Oh, yeah.

So I just stayed at home and watched. We went out for a little happy hour. thing on Saturday, which I don't know if that's really a thing, happy hour on a Saturday, but it was an afternoon drinking. Did the menu say happy hour? No. I feel like there's very few places that have happy hours on Saturdays. Friday you were referencing the Oregon Indiana game, correct?

Yes. Sauce, who is the Oregon alum? Yes. I just stayed home and watched it. And then Sunday watched the Bears game. No, Saturday I watched the Bears game after we were out. And then Sunday, it was a lot of video games. games this weekend. Ark Raiders for all the people out there playing. It's the new hot video game

that, you know, Sauce made me go play and buy. It's good, though. It's huge right now. Maybe you'll get it on there one day when you get your PS5. Yeah. I mean, I think about it a lot. I think about gaming often, actually. Sat down Saturday night. I was like, damn, we'd love to fire up cod with the boys but those are the days man yeah just getting murked just yeah wasting my time resetting you know yep this next game's definitely gonna be ours and it's just not no maybe get a killer too mm-hmm anything else not really what was your best meal uh I made some salmon bites last night they're Chipotle spice they're like a spicy chipoli saracha salmon okay better rice.

Ooh. Some steamed carrots. Okay. Yeah. Were you with Brett and them Saturday? I was earlier in the day. We went to Murray's Tavern. Oh, how is it?

Cool, cool place. I like the vibe in there. But, I mean, I got two cocktails. They have these mini cocktails. They like that big. Oh, the Dillans. Yeah. I don't think they're calling it that.

But overall, it was just trying to save money and not do too much. spent way too much over the Christmas break. Oh, yeah, you saving up? Yeah. I want me, I got to go. I got a Europe trip this summer. So trying to save. Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. Hang on. I remember approving that PTO. That's awesome, man. Hmm. Okay. Yeah, have fun, man. We'll do.

Cool. Dylan Shivery. Pretty good weekend. Friday, Chelsea and I stepped out for a little dinner. I wanted to go to Maddo Ranchos, but she nixed it. She nixed it, and we went to Echo in Mexico instead. Man, you're keeping that place. Man, in business.

I'm telling you, the food is so good. Where is it again? It's a family-run business. It's on William Cannon. You'll drive by it 100 times and not notice it. Just in a strip center, it's just all business. It's just dope food, man, and good drinks, really good drinks. Saturday.

What's the music in there? Is it like our lunch Friday? Where they play, like, not reggae tone, but just like traditional, like Mexican? I haven't even noticed music in there. Okay. Not to say that they don't play it, but if they have, it's quiet and I haven't noticed it. So I don't know. Cool.

Anyway, Saturday, my nieces got dropped off because my sister and brother-in-law, they had a wedding in Houston. So we took care of the girls. A little summer party at our house. Parks was there. They kept us busy. Those little girls have a lot of energy. And that was fun. fun taking care of them yesterday was a pretty relaxing day didn't do a whole lot watched uh the beast in me

which is a really fun show right now on netty watch some ball of course like there's something you're leaving out saturday night did you eat anything did you play your zoc card oh i did play my zoc card yeah we picked up we picked up pine house yeah it was delish how did you know that we i asked you last week what you thought if you were going to play your Zah card you're like you know what yeah i am played the Zoc card played it well too no i saw you at pine house i was sitting at the bar alone i watch you walk in and pick up your pizza say hi next time dude i know you very well i was just kind of like you know what saw him all day saw him all week i'm good whatever dude they was actually like hiding he pulled this brim of his hat down and was hiding at the bar i had uh i had glasses and a fake nose

and mustache did you have your new warby parkers on no but they shipped I got the notie. Oh, I haven't mine haven't shipped yet. Yeah, they're probably trying to find someone who can make whatever the fuck you ordered. Yeah. We should ask Brand's issues. We'll ask Brad about it and see where they are. You should ask him.

You already have an order trouble. Randy started as a bit, Randy was like, I'm going to like ask Brett a bunch of questions about the classes. Brad hates Parker deal. And then like Randy actually did have an issue with his order and had to ask him. It was a very boy cried wolf situation. I took care of it myself. It was just funny that, like, they email me and said, hey, there's an error with your order.

I'm like, I can't come to Brite with this now. Any time, like, okay, we get a lot of free stuff, like new sponsors all the time. And so they just ship us stuff and it's great. And granted, it's been happening for us for years. So I'm kind of used to it by now. Randy's just, he's now like entering the like gets free stuff era of his employment here, which is exciting. But Randy, like, researches the products.

And like he's really in the weeds on it. He wants to make sure his order is perfect. It's really funny. So this isn't a bad move, but it is kind of funny. It shows you like the difference. Somebody's got, you've got, Randis got more free time than we do. But Randy went, like when he found out he's getting glasses,

he went down to Warby Parker to try some off. I'm just like, oh, sweet, new, new shades. Love it. Randy goes to the store, tries them on, which is not a bad move. It's a smart move, but it is. I make sure they look good at him at least. It is a funny move. Yeah.

Also, I was also not getting sunglasses too. Getting prescription glasses. I wanted to really make sure they look good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're for my eyes. My eyes.

You went with the brimmers, right? No. I went black walnut brimmers, yeah. Sick. No, I went with the Carlton's, but more on that later when we actually do an ad read for them. Wow, what a tease. Yeah, you guys are going to love it. We're teasing ad reads now.

Just wait. Just wait. Wait to you hear this copy. All right. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, so we kicked off Friday.

Went to lunch with Blaine. Oh, yeah. Our accountant. So did I. Didn't mention that. We went. We got a new Takaria Diaz. So you did go there.

We did. Okay. It's funny because whenever we go over to Blaine's place, we just go to that same place. over by him. Yeah, they put one over here on Southamar. It's, it's definitely walking distance, but we drove, Tfm. Um, but we went. It was great. I had a beer. Just, I had a good Friday, Friday lunch beer. Loved it. Uh, do the burritos, the way to go. What'd you get? What'd you get? Carnia asada for the, no, for the beer. Modelo. Oh. Yeah, I've been, I've been talking. There's been this guy reaching out to me. He's a recruiter. He's actually a Modello recruiter.

and he's been reaching out to me trying to recruit me to drink Modelo for some reason I'm like what is this you have been a Pacifico boy yeah um okay a few hours past

left here about three 330 on uh Friday went to the gym to not lift I was just like you know what I went this morning I'm gonna hit the sauna I'm gonna do a little detox

I'm trying to get the sauna once or maybe two three times a week week. Friday afternoon was a was kind of a freak fest in there. Not in a ditty way. Just in like, what the fuck's going on? So two things happen. Two things happen, please. Two things, please. Get in there. First of all, Friday at four o'clock, sauna at lifetime is packed. It's co-ed sauna. It's packed. It's closed quarters. It feels like germs. Everybody's sniffling because of the cedar in the air. I just didn't like it. But I get in there. Sweating. Mine of my business.

And first of all, a guy came in there, sat down. I've never seen this done. He brought a bag, a full bag of beef jerky into the fucking song. I'm not playing. No one's just protein loading in a 190 degree room. Sat down, opened the bag up, eating beef jerky. And I'm like, dude, I just wanted to be like, I promise no one was ever doing that.

Wow. But okay. Yeah, bring your beef jerky into the sauna. That doesn't lend itself to sauna. He's a priest. He doesn't want his jerky to be any moist. Don't eat solid food in the sauna. Water is all you need.

I mean, you can't exactly bring like ice cream in there. No, don't bring ice cream in the sauna. It won't work out. I would like someone. I'd like to see if someone do it. It's going to melt real real fast. It's like desperately licking the cone. It's just going all over your lap.

It's like the little girl in the black hole sun video. And then I have voice message the group text with this because I couldn't believe it. And I was like, I'm not typing this out. But so space opens up next to me. And then a dude, a grown man walks in. And I thought he was maintenance because he was wearing work clothes. He was wearing a dark polo tucked into like dark work jeans. like carpenter jeans, black work boots.

And he like walks in there. First of all, you're not supposed to wear shoes or footwear at all in the sauna. A lot of people do sign right out front of the door. Yeah. A lot of people will wear flip flops and stuff in there. And I don't even like that. I get like you don't, it, I don't know, it's a co-ed sauna at a gym and it's not my own sauna. I can't tell you what to do.

But I don't like when people wear shoes in there at all. Because it just feels like it's supposed to be like a, a, clean place, even though you're sitting on someone else's sweat, whatever. He sits down next to me and I'm like, okay, this guy's not in here to like change a setting or something. He doesn't work here. He's, he's in there to catch a sauna. Again, fully clothed in Apollo sitting next to me. And I'm like, how long is he going to do this?

And he's in there. And it's like, 10 minutes. And he's like, got his phone out. And he's got wired headphones in, which I fuck with. I've been a wired headphone guy recently. and I'm like sitting there sweating and I'm like man this is so weird because he's got these giant work boots on and it's just very weird he's got to be just sweating his D off in here I glance over his phone grown man probably like 45 years old and he's just he's just scroll on Instagram and then like he stops and he's watching top five NFL CTE hits CTE

And I'm like, I'm like, look at his phone. I'm like watching with him. So it's just dude. Is it volume on? No, he's got, he just headphones in, thank God. But he's just watching like dudes going across the middle getting their shit rocked. Like life altering hits. I'm hoping the algorithm just started that.

He's like, oh, this looks interesting and started watching it. I mean, he watched, I mean, he's going to be, that's going to be his algorithm forever now because he watched the whole thing. Were they good hits though? Yeah. It was just like, it was like Ronnie Lott just taking dudes out over the middle. Taylor just decapitating somebody it's like a it's like a hit that would get you like suspended for a season now just a head hunting yeah no 100% just god absolute homicide balls getting thrown over the middle and dude just going you know what i'm not brian dockins i'm not even gonna

try to break this up i'm just going for your head i'm gonna try and make this guy unconscious right now that's that's what has seen that sauna is for you man Top five NFL NFL, not just any league, not college. These are serious athletes. This is the top five NFL CTE hits. And it had like the, it was the deal where it has like the one, two, three, four, five. And it unveils each one. And sometimes they're out of order.

Yeah. I don't understand why. I don't get it. But it was that format. And I'm just like, in my head, I'm like, God, what is this dude's ruining the sauna? And then I'm like, I've actually been watching this entire reel with this guy. I'm just like looking over his shoulder like, yeah. Oh, shit.

Oh, dude, that dude broke his collarboat. He's not getting up. Better bring out the stretcher. Yeah, they're bringing in the cart here. Good grief, man. That's how my Friday kicked off. Watch ball. I miss the opening pick six because I was like it was doing bedtime.

Yeah. And I walk out there, I'm like, damn. Real fast. Real fast. Couldn't be fast. Yeah. It wasn't much of a game, but. I still watch it.

It's a good team. Are you going to finally admit that Indiana is a good team? Dude, I can't believe how good they are. It's like they keep shocking the hell out of me. I thought that was going to be a good game. I thought they would win that game, but not like that. Yeah, I've been pretty high on my ducks, but they ran into a well-oiled machine. They're so good that I'm seeing some cheating allegations getting tossed around,

a la'a Michigan. I mean, they may have like a world-class scouting department. but they kind of rewriting the script for acquiring talent because it's a very old team yeah i saw mixed things i saw people bitching about that and then i saw people being like comparing them to the oregon roster and like that it's not that much older like i i don't know okay but but no i mean i think they do have some older guys on there but they're about to play carson beck who's 24 23 34, I think, by this point. But, like, as in the players are old?

Yeah. So, like, they're all very experienced guys. Is what we talked about the portal the other day. It's like, what's the point of trying to develop young talent if they're just going to leave? Might as well just go get the more experienced guys. Yeah, I could talk about that subject for 30 minutes. Don't get them started.

It's interesting because it's like, it's evolving. Like, this is still new to everyone. So, like, the strategies are definitely evolving big time right now on how it's all done. High school versus portal. all that all that ish um saturday uh what did we do saturday was big NFL day in the home um did some did a lot of puzzles with the roads man he let me watch some ball got him to watch a little ball that was nice a wild card um saturday night like i mentioned earlier it was steak night we did uh i did a grass fed rib eye i think it might be my favorite steak and get at H-E-B, even more so than just like the regular prime ones.

But I just, I did a ribeye and I just enjoyed it so much. I didn't take a picture. I should have and sent it to you. You would have liked to see it. I want to see your meat next time. Yeah. Ribbi and baked potato? Big weekend.

And broccoli. Wow. God, that's, that's fucking big boy meal, dude. Yeah. You want to look like a big boy? You got to eat like a big boy. That's right. Understand?

I absolutely, I do. Yeah. What? If you're still doing your weekend. you can yeah i got my i've got a major announcement oh my god let me get this ready for running back we took the training wheels off of roads bike oh shit and um we were outside for about two hours yesterday and he is now able to ride a bike that's isn't it okay when i when parks finally got it yeah it was such a huge moment in his young life like it was he threw the bike down ran up to me

into my arms. He was so happy. So I'd heard different ways of doing this. There's a towel method, which you put like under their arms and you're kind of behind them and you hold it. So if they like, you're kind of running behind them and if they fall, they, I didn't like that as much. Honestly, may have re-injured my shoulder. Trying to fucking hold my like a sack of potatoes. Yeah. This child. So I would just, I was just like, fuck it. He was having trouble. He was having trouble. His bike's a little big for him. So we were doing like, I was just running with him. Yeah, I would just let it go.

And I was like, you just got a pedal, pedal. And he finally got it. And dude, when he, he went for like two seconds at first. And he thought it was the coolest thing. And then he just started going. Yeah. No, he's not at the point where he can like, he's still running right into curves. Getting really mad at him.

Uh, he's still, uh, he can't just start from, he has to have me get him going. Yeah. But he is fully able to balance. And it felt like a monumental moment. Yeah, yeah. It was great. He's probably, he's four still? He's almost five, yeah.

Yeah, he's probably ahead of like the curve there, I would think. You know, I didn't, I wasn't sure. And then, like, I heard his buddy was able to do it too. And, like, that's what kind of kicked it off. He found out his boy at school was doing it. And I was like, well, damn, I don't want him to be like the only one on the squad. Yeah. That's awesome.

Yeah. I was very, very proud. It was, it was cool. And you guys should be proud of dad. I did a lot of running yesterday, a lot of back peddling, a lot of side peddling on the concrete, which I don't do a lot of. Tell me how good your knees are, man. No, I mean, I was feeling a little bit this morning. My knee went out this weekend, too.

And, yeah, so tell me all about it. I told you about my weird knee thing last week. You did. But, uh... All I tried to do was get out of my car quickly to go run inside and grab something I forgot. And my, like something in front of my knee popped and hurt. So cool. I actually have a funny anecdote from the weekend that your Sata story.

I was like, it kind of just remind me of my anecdote. If you oblige me of telling you this, it's a funny story, a little embarrassing, but I think people are going to be happy to hear my update and know that I'm doing better. I know people don't like poop talk, so I'm going to keep it clean. But things are going better in that front so much better that I might have clogged my toilet this weekend. but I went to go plunge it and realized I didn't have a plunger. So I had to go to H.E.B. and buy one because I was going grocery store anyways.

And then I forgot it. Like it was in the hybrid checkout thing, you know, the ones at H.E.B. Where it's like there's a cashier, but you bag your own things. And I got all the way home and then realized that was the one thing I didn't bag. So I had to go all the way back to HB. God, damn. And I had to go ask the lady, like, did I forget? my plunger here and she went oh yeah and then she like took a second and laughed to herself

because clearly she knew that it was very embarrassing it's embarrassing walking around the store with that yeah people like talk about like walking around with like a big thing of toilet paper and people are like oh oh this this guy's pooping if i see someone with the plunger at the store i'm asking myself is this in preparation for future clogs or is that thing getting used right when they get See, and that's the thing. I think she processed when I left and realized I didn't have it and had to come back that she knew immediately. Yeah, there's no hiding that thing. Yeah.

I had to go back and go get it. And then walk out of the store with just that one thing. A cool invention, a good invention, it would be like a, like a Transformers plunger. Like, it doesn't look like a plunger. There you go. And you hit a thing and it just like, there you go. So like before, it's like a house plant. Like, there's some.

Something there's something there. Or you can just buy the different parts. You can't assemble it at home. You can't buy it all in one place. They'll know. Dude, just you're sitting there with it. Is that the only thing you bought at the store? Well, no.

You can't make that. No, I bought a bunch of groceries and that and I forgot to bag it. Did you put it in a shopping cart? Yeah. So I had to go all, I got home and realized I didn't have it. And I had to go back and pick it up from the cashier because I realized that's, that's the thing. Like, she knew that I left it and I had to come back for it. And then,

as I'm walking in the parking lot, the group of high school girls in front me and one look back at me, just carrying the one plunger and definitely noticed. This is my life. I'm glad that your pipes are clear. Yeah, it was just funny that I have to like go back to the register.

He unraveled. It has to be the most embarrassing thing you'd have to go back for. That's pretty embarrassing, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, good weekends all around. Oh.

Indiana appears to be just total wagon status at this point. Very disciplined team, very well coached. They have a quarterback with stone dimes over the field. Mendoza is legit. Do why do their receivers catch every ball. They found the receivers from like directional schools that no one's heard of and they're just bawling out.

It's unbelievable. You know, like, you're playing Madden and you're playing like the computer on hard and like, that ball was thrown way behind that receiver and they just catch it like it's nothing. Everything that he threw. Yeah. It was amazing. Yeah. They're an impressive team to watch.

I'm very, very impressed with them. So even if like the big mad people online saying that they're cheating with no evidence, even if they're right, they're still executing really well. Yeah. Absolutely. To be clear, I don't believe. It's shocking how good they are. Yeah.

You don't think of Indiana as being a football powerhouse, and they certainly have not been historically, but, I mean, it's a basketball school crying out of low. To the two Miami fans in the locker room this morning talking about how they thought the Big Ten was overrated and how they think it's going to, I think they're going to get just absolutely crumpled, Miami. These guys were very, very confident.

I'm just like. Yeah. My money is, I don't know the line. Have you seen it? I thought it was seven, seven and a half. Holy shit. Really? No, four, four and a half, I think.

We were talking about it. Hold on, let's look it up. You keep going. Yeah. Just super impressive. Miami looked good, too. Brett was in here pretty confident about Ole Miss's chances in that game. And Carson Beck, I've never seen Carson Beck play that well.

His fourth quarter, he was just putting everything on the money. was really impressive. It is seven and a half. Seven and a half? Seven and a half? Yeah. If I told you that before the season started, Indiana would be a national championship as a seven and a half point favorite, you would thought I was lying to you. I'd say Opa Gangham style. Okay. That's a good callback. I get it. I get the plain land on that one. That's pretty good. But yeah, dude, Carson Beck played out of his mind. And that's a guy, I talked about this last week. That's a guy who obviously did not have a good season last year, but he's played in a lot of big games and that is very valuable at this point ever since he lost to the ponies he's uh really turned

it up a notch yeah he looks good man they look good so yeah we got miami uh indiana on um next monday next monday i believe not the 19th yeah marley's a king day so you have until m lk day to say happy continue saying happy new year to people just want to point that out people that you are just now seen i don't know for the first time i don't know i don't know i I don't know. I think I'm still with Dylan. It's up until this past weekend. Oh, okay. I guess I'll just fuck off. Yeah, maybe you should just go fuck off. Hey, unhappy New Year.

Yeah. I don't know if you want to touch on NFL, but before we do that, can I talk about portal activity? Talk. Go talk your shit. Big Cam Coleman. Dude, Camp Coleman is officially a longhorn, and I am very, very thrilled about that. I don't care how much it costs. It's not come out of my pocket. So if you're complaining about Texas overspending in the portal, I'd get it. I'd probably be doing the same thing if this were another school. It's how I felt last year when tech was just going crazy in the portal.

Wait, you don't donate? I don't donate. Brett at least donates. I don't donate to NIA. You got to give. That's for the rich alums. I am not one of those. Brett does donate.

He does donate. Do we get Cam Coleman, Jeremiah Smith, week two next year in Austin? That's going to be fun. Yeah. I'm thrilled. They also got two running two like top three-ish running backs out of the portal. They got Relique Brown from Arizona State and Hollywood Smothers. Oh, wait. And they're going to be the preseason number one? They probably will. Heard this before. They probably will.

Hey, heard this before. Here's the thing, though. They have a lot of work to do on the offensive line. A lot still. So they're putting together some pieces, some skill guys, and it looks great on that front. But man, if they don't get some offensive guards and a center up in that locker room. It's going to be trouble. They've got to do something there. Also got the top linebacker. Anyway, this isn't about Texas.

I'm sorry. Cam Coleman has me very excited. What about our boy Jason Whitten going to OU? Jason Witton going to OU and kids soon to be there. Yeah, no surprise. His son is a five-star linebacker in the Dallas area. Yeah. And he, of course, will be following his father to OU.

So that's a good get for them. Oh, you putting together a good class. Yeah, you know, good for y'all. It's going to be fun, man. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be fun. It's going to really open it up for Wingo a little bit. Oh, yeah.

Could be good. Could get Max Wingo. You've got to be pretty thrilled about it. Yeah. That's, I don't really got much on that. I don't either. I'm just, I'm excited. I'm excitement level for next year is very, very high.

Yeah, we had like a large, we had a portal conversation out in the bullpen this morning. It's just kind of like, okay. This is what we're doing. This is how it's going to be. I don't like how. Don't get attached. I don't like this era so much. It's just, it's been weird.

I mean, you see, like Texas recruited the number one recruiting class for 2025. So they're freshmen this year. And not many of those guys, the high level guys. have seen the field like at all and so they're all leaving and it's like what what high school recruiting is it feels less and less meaningful as we get into the portal era of things uh i i don't like it man i mean i'm happy for the i'm happy for the kids getting paid that's not a part of it they deserve a little piece of the pie but it's it's just weird the teams are just there's no loyalty anywhere anymore i don't know it kind of stinks how's peru looking like

Like shit, I don't know. Randy, great time to just go full-on Longhorn fan. Great time. No, man. Get like a different team. I mean, I'm still, I guess, rooting for Purdue and basketball. They're doing pretty good, I think. I don't know.

Do bears. Bears, dude. It's hard to get invested in sports at all. I've been hurt too many times. But, you know, if you can't bring yourself to follow this Bears team and you're from, you know, within an hour of Chicago, all lot, then you're, what are you doing? What are you waiting for?

I'm watching. It's never going to be better than this. I know, I watched. You're in year two. I actually don't think it's even worth watching the Bears the first three quarters. Just watch the fourth quarter. If I find out that's how you're consuming Bears games, I'm going to cut your cable or streaming service. I do have cable and one of the few.

That is so annoying. That I have cable? No, that you would, you came in this morning and being like, I'm just going to start watching just the fourth quarter. I don't know. I watched the beginning. And then at like once it was looked bad. I was in and out playing video games, and then I came back for the fourth quarter. Why can't everybody consume sports like I do?

How do you can... Pay us a picture. Dude, I just have the boys over, just wings, pizza, beers, chicks. Yeah. Yeah, that's how I consume sports. Hell yeah. Yeah, it's badass, actually. Who'd you have over?

all the boys not mean i was i guess i'm not one of the boys all the fellows just fucking um mart marty and tommy okay and john uh brian uh Ryan Ryan how far down the list was I Clayton because I didn't get an in-blank uh Mitch oh Mitch was there different Mitch oh um Zach jaccariahia uh Peter Pete C. I hate Peter, dude. We had Yinsky came by.

Dude, fuck Yinsky. The chain smokers pulled up. It was fucking sick. Fuck, maybe I should consume sports like you, do. Yeah. That sounds sick. Maybe for the big game.

That's a full house, man. Oh, I'm just getting started. Oh. Kisha. Kish, was there? Terry. I hadn't seen Kish in a minute. Jesse.

Ashley. Oh. Oh, candy. Okay. Chelsea. My Chelsea? No, I don't think so. Not anymore.

Meg was there. A number of people came through. Different Meg. I was going to say. This is just a blast, dude. Everybody was wearing their favorite team's crew neck sweatshirt. That's great. And we had a pigskin.

We went outside at half and just threw it around. That's great, dude. So cool. Yeah. Dude, my place was a wreck, but it was cool. That place must have been wild in the forest quarter. Oh, yeah. We were going nuts, man.

It was crazy, dude. Your little whiskey girl pulled through? My little whiskey girl came up. It was dope. Yeah, it was crazy. I just hope that maybe you would include me in one of these. No. All right.

Sorry, man. This is for people who consume sports the way I do. Okay. Okay. It's a collective. That's not me. I get it. It takes a village.

Yeah. It takes Harries to shave my face properly. Oh, yeah. I love it. I've been actually using Harry's for like a decade, it feels like. Ever since they sponsored Touching Base way back in the day and they sent us a razor, I have not stopped using Harris. That's facts.

Oh, man, you got to level up, man. Your phone's basically a supercomputer. Your car parks itself. Your headphones cancel noise like magic. But your razor still flimsy, still overpriced, still stuck in 2008. That's where Harry's Plus comes in. Okay?

Because they control the entire process from steel to shelf. They keep costs low. So why pay $30 for refills when Harries gives you better blades for a fraction of that?

Yeah, so I brought cookies in this morning for the boys. Yeah, tell me about it. There's a reason why Chelsbaked cookies. I'm going to explain that right now. Chelsbakes good cookies. They're excellent. Randy, you co-sign? Great cookies.

So yesterday we took, we had the girls with us. So I told you my niece has stayed with us. So we went over those little park around the corner from our house. We took the dogs over there and had good little time. And we were walking back, walking back to the house. And we noticed a little dog, a little like ankle-bitered kind of dog. They was just running around with no owner in sight. Like, oh, what's going on here?

And it raised our, you know, we're. raise our flat like alarm because we were like uh you know where's the owner and also chelsea's dog shrek he's kind of the dog that dogs can't approach because he he'll he'll bite and so we were like what's going on here where's a dog and then finally we walk up a little bit more there's a second dog off a leash and this was an older older dog look like a mutt had gray on his face and he was running around and then finally we see an elderly man walking um he's in a hurry clearly and he is struggling right and um he he the dogs of course approach us and Chelsea has to pick up her dog and carry him away and I'm like you're a little irritated when you first see like

dogs like dogs off leash right because it's like you know control your dogs don't let them come up to hours and I don't want them to get in a fight whatever so I'm like just you know that dog can't be around your dog because he's you know not welcoming and then i noticed the guy's like really struggling and he's his the bigger dog runs up into my garage because we're taking the dogs and the kids inside to get him out of the way and this guy's like out of breath and he's got hearing he like he's elderly he's like i've been trying to get these dogs for 30 minutes now and i can't do it like oh shit okay well let me help you so I get like get the dogs get the kids inside and I grab my leash I go after the big dog to you know help corral and I get him and it's no problem dog was fine he picks up the little dog and we're

walking back it's like let me help you we'll take him back to your house smart move going for the big dog by the way yeah yeah you don't want to fuck with a little dog and so he mean he was a really nice man he was like he was apologetic and when he was standing he's kind of standing in my driveway I was chatting with him for a second and he kept losing his balance like he was he was a little bit It's like he's, you know, damn, he was in rough shit. We're walking back. He's like, I'm really sorry. He said, we just adopted this dog pointing to the big older dog.

I said, oh, that's nice of you. And he goes, well, my son recently passed away. And we inherited his dog. And I'm like, oh, my fucking God. I just like, just tugging on my heartstrings, man. It was, it was tough. So I walked, I walked the dog back over there front, you know, to his. his front door he opens it he gets a dog inside everything's fine and i was just like man if you

ever need anything you know where we live right here knock on my door whatever and i just walked back to my house was just a fucking lump in my throat it was brutal i just felt so bad for this man who's like clearly struggling to take care of these dogs son just passed away whole deal and chelsea says she's seen other activity at this house i don't think the man lives alone but i'm also not entirely sure that he has family there to help him out with stuff. So anyway, that's the reason for the cookies. She baked them and this evening we're going to walk over there and bring a little card and says, here's our number.

If you ever need help with anything, let us know. We're happy to help. We're raced across the street. But it was tough, dude. I was, like, sad, like, ruin, like, the next three hours of my life. I was just thinking about it. Just felt for this man. And that's that.

So hopefully he likes Chelsea's cookies. It was so sad, dude. Yeah. You got to feel for a man like that. Did you catch the dog's name? No. No, he wasn't super talkative on the way on the way back to his house. I think he was just trying to catch his breath honestly. Damn. Just like stepping off a curb, he was like stumbling, you know. It was sad. Anyway, that's a story with my neighbor.

Well, he'll like the cookies. He will. He'll like the cookies and I'm going to tell you something. Hopefully we'll make a friend and, you know, if you need something. You got to get you. Yeah, you got to make friends in the neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah, that's, it was tough, man. Yeah, that's a lot. This old cold heart, you know, he got me. Dylan's got the cold heart, Randy.

Vipar. Dude, Vipers in the building. You don't know Viper. What's up? He's got the sweater on, man. What did it do? Just chill on. I was worried you guys weren't calling me in.

No. I saw it was noon and I was like. Running late. We were getting fun. Went crazy. I had a baked potato. Whole thing. Rainy did some stuff.

There's a whole thing. I had returned to get a plunger. Randy had to buy a plunger at H-E-B. Twice pretty much. Like for like immediate use. And he didn't, he left it there. So he had to go home, realize he forgot the plunger and had to go back and ask for his plunger. No.

I go. Just getting on Amazon, dude. They'll deliver it by the end of the day. He said he doesn't like using that because like he supports local businesses. Yeah, like H-EB. Like H-B. The real mom and pop grocery store. So we'll.

Yeah. Tough weekend. Yeah, not an ideal weekend. I mean, I saw the news. I'll say this. Last week was just shitty. No one wants to go back to work after that much time, chilling. The week just kept getting worse and worse on like every front.

Saturday comes. It's like, yeah. All right. I can be me today. It's spread my wings a little bit. I'm outside. It's probably five o'clock. It's my dog's birthday, nine years old.

Happy birthday, Rosie, if you're listening. Happy birthday, Rosie. And I thought to my. stuff. I'm going to give her the best game of fetch. She's getting all year right now. I'm going to just wear her out. Throw the ball for like 45 minutes, chilling, listening to some music. And like, something hits me. And I'm like, I need a cocktail right now. Like, I want a martini so bad right now. So I go inside, take my headphones off, plop down, make a martini. And this is a chunky boy. Oh, yeah. Coldest space.

cold as space? Cold is space. Your martini. Oh, yeah, yeah. And so I sit down and I get done making the drink and I tap my phone. And I see I have like 30 messages. I'm like, what's going on? I haven't looked at my phone this entire time.

The first message I see is from my buddy Colin or hot Colin as he's referred to. And I was like, oh, that's bad. That's not good. But I like, it didn't really hit me. and then I saw your text, Dave. And I was like, okay, Bob Weir has passed. I almost felt like I felt bad about being the one who broke the news to a couple of y'all, to you and Ryan.

Because I was like, I didn't need to be the one to break this. I felt like texting you, but I cited against it. But then I had, then I had like a text from like a friend of mine that just said, like, don't open Instagram. You're going to get really sad. This is terrible. And I was just like, okay, this is not what I want. And then I got to go outside and tell Sally, which like telling her was kind of one of those things where it's like, man, she's going to be really bummed that I'm going to be sad all night.

This ruins her night for a different reason. I'm about to be the least fun person in the room. But you know what we did? You just mentioned, you just mentioned Ryan. I put on some records. My son Charlie was just dancing his ass off to it, was having the time of his life. texted Ryan said maybe you should come over later and he came over he brought over different whiskeys to to pay tribute from one from the 60s one from the 70s one from the 80s and

one from the 90s and uh damn yeah we just put on a live show and watch watch it on YouTube and tip back some some bourbon and uh yesterday yesterday it was a tough wake up day oh man yeah But it was nice. I like getting drunk to commemorate somebody. Yeah. That's the way of the Irish County Court boys. I had a feeling after the 60th anniversary celebration in San Francisco, like I had a feeling that that might be the last time.

And the lack of news surrounding the band was like a very telltale kind of thing that like, yeah, we might not be able to get our hotels anymore. Man, I didn't even know he was sick. No one did. They don't usually like talk about. the inner workings of the group publicly. I don't think it's something they want to do. I'm not going to name names.

It felt like some outlets, music outlets on Instagram, already had their eulogies written up. They probably did. They were quick to post. They probably did. I don't know. You've had this thing ready to rock, huh? Yeah, some of those, I mean, some of those publications, don't you think they have to, like, have something in the hopper?

I think that's what, like, the, I mean, big newspapers, they'll have somebody like, somebody who's, like, getting up there's a big name. they're like, all right. Yeah, it's like, well, you got, we got Helen Mirrens pretty much 80% done. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we just don't know what's going to happen. But yeah, it's, you know, I pretty much only consumed warlocks.

Yeah, you were a big warlocks. That was me. I was a warlock. Before they went mainstream. Right. No, that's, I, you know, I, I try. No, I'm not going to say, I enjoy it. When something like this happens in, it's an artist who I'm aware of super influential,

but I never personally like got into. I enjoy like seeing the posts and like kind of like vicariously grieving. And be like, oh man, that's really cool. I didn't know this about. Learning more about the artist through people's tributes of which there were many. Turns out I have a lot of friends. I can't. I mean, my entire feed.

Yeah, there's just great videos, dude. I'd rather have my feed be this than what it was last week. So like I'm sure. I'm happy. So yeah, it was. Yeah. That's a bummer. And again, I saw that when I saw it on Twitter, a guy I followed, like just was put,

like, had just posted a video. And I was like, oh, shit. So I, I just assumed that y'all had already seen it. So I just said, hey, sorry to hear about Bob Leds. Because I tossed on music and called it a day and just put my phone down in my coat pocket and never looked at it for like the next hour. And so when I, when I actually saw, I was like, oh, okay. Like, it was one of the reasons I got really sad was just because like the amount of people

that reached out, started making me realize how many people I had met over the past few years just through their music, whether it was going to a show or backers reaching out or whatever. And it was like, I've connected with so many people over this guy's music that like, I just don't want that to end. Like, I want that to keep going. And there's the uncertainty. Like, no one wants their favorite band to stop playing. Like, the uncertainty was like also looming for so long that just kind of finding out,

Oh, he died. Oh, now the question marks around future stuff are not question marks anymore. It's just not happening. And so, like, having an ambiguous future of something that you really enjoy taking in is just kind of a bummer. Actually, the only people who want their favorite band to stop playing is Frankie Valley fans. Yeah. He needs to go. He needs to retire.

He needs to go Eric Tao and start playing golf. That's just sad to watch. That's a good segue. Yeah. I got to see him live with you. I know. I'm really glad you came with. I wish I had gone to that.

That's cool. Yeah, I was listening to those shows yesterday for a while. You saw him in a much different way than most people will see him. Why is that? Just because he was playing with like his band as opposed to debting company or Grateful Dead or whatever. We're talking about John Mayer posted yesterday or today. Was he yesterday? He posted a couple days.

I think it was last night or something. Yeah, it was a very good. It was just a, I read it. I was like, damn, that's a good, that's a great way to eulogize somebody. It wasn't overly long and it was just. Were they pretty close? More of it's like a business relationship. Oh, yeah.

I think they were really close. I think John Mayer looked up to him a lot. I think John Mayer deferred to him a lot. Like, it wasn't until recently that John Mayer said that he felt like he could kind of play whatever and settle in and feel like Bob was impressed with him. But like, I mean, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But like the Grateful Dead have always talked a lot about mortality and enjoying the time that you have here and stuff like that. And so like having Bob Weir pass away, like he talked about that kind of stuff a lot in interviews and he seemed content, you know? And it's like I hope that I hope that it continues. I've really enjoyed going to the shows. I would like to continue going to shows. But I just don't know who they'll plug. I don't know if they want to plug someone in or who they would actually plug in. That would be willing to do it in a in a way that's like,

right. I don't really want them to piecemeal together a band that they trot out a couple times a year and do stuff. I would love to have a tour go on again and get a full band experience. John, the line, I'll meet you in the music. Come find me anytime. Yeah. I was like, damn. I don't know if that's from a song or if that's just like a John Mayer original. That's a bar, though. I think he just barred it out. Good for him. Yeah. I sent a text yesterday to somebody. I said, man, what sucks is that John mayor hasn't posted anything yet and when he does tonight it's just going to be day ruining. I didn't see it until this morning though, so I was in a better spot. Will and I are industry boys certified.

I got in very late. I guess it was probably two years ago. I did my full watch and was very happy I did. But last night, the new season premiered and I just would like to talk about it for a few minutes. Yeah. This is as juiced as I've been for a season of television since Succession was on. And I think I might have hyped it up a little too much for myself. Yeah, I think we had the same thought that there was just, it was a little bit jumbled.

There was a lot going on. And they just kind of threw it all in your face. Like from the get-go, you're getting a, what's our, Charlie Heaton? from Stranger Things is going to play a role as an investigative reporter. Johnson Myers. I like, I didn't like that they let off the season with two characters we've never seen before. Right to the fuck. I respect that they're in the arena trying things.

But I was kind of like, man, I want, I want to see my old hitters right now. It's still a horny show. We learned that. Bubblegum. Some deviant horniness as well. Yeah. Okay. The vibe switch was just so huge.

that it's weird for a show to feel different like season to season on this level, but I also think I'm just overthinking it. I need Harper's storyline to get a little more realistic for me. I still don't believe they're letting her do what she's doing in this show

on just a professional basis alone. She's just shorter. I don't think she's proven herself enough to run a fund. I actually think the people that are babysitting her are actually being very smart in what they're doing despite her complaints.

Yeah. I miss Pierpoint. I miss them all under the roof. I miss the bullpen, dude. I look at the Pierpoint. Bullpen was sick. Or Pierpump, Pierpoint, whatever it is.

I look at that bullpen, like I look at the Grandex Bullpen. Like, I'm kind of glad I'm not there anymore, but I'm always going to look back on it. It's like, yeah, that was a good time. Yeah. My wife is actually watching season one right now. She's midway through.

And after I watched that, I went in and she was finishing an episode. And I was just like watching some of, Season one, I was like, damn, this was really, this is great television. Have you watched any, Dylan? I watched two episodes of season one, and I decided it was not for me. What's it about? It's about, well, it starts out with a bunch of, you know, first-year employees at a investment bank and follows their life.

London. And now the characters have all kind of gone off and explored their own lives. It's very cutthroat. It's very cutthroat It's like It's a very unflattering portrayal of like working at a big bank They have

I don't know They have They have a bunch of new characters this season And they got rid of one of the favorite characters From last season Which I don't want to spoil for anybody I don't know I have high hopes for it still

Give me a hint Who did they wait whom I have not I can't give you Okay He was not the episode last night. He was electric in season one. How are you not getting this? I'll tell you after. Okay. It's like it's just, if someone hasn't watched, I don't want to do anything. Oh. Oh, no. No, he's not going to show up. No, he's not there. Yeah. So like, but like, they just went all in

on these new characters with nothing. I mean, we got Kumar of Harold and Kumar. That's right. I think they're going to be a great little story. They're great. I didn't like how they introduced because I was very confused as to what I kind of kept having the thought of wait do I should I know these guys does it been so long had we not been doing a rewatch I would have been like wait did what have these guys been in here before just the what the casual way that they started doing it yeah which I respect but I just thought it was overall it was it was fine premiere it wasn't great I I don't know what this show I don't know if this show's ever going to get over the hump and actually get like super super super super popular

I feel like it would have done it already I think it's complicated and like I just think that it's going to be difficult for the show to get over the hump. I think you have to, I think you have to really understand or like go out of way to learn like a lot of what they're doing. And I'm like, I don't know. Oh, I just ignore it. I just ignore it. I don't really understand what the significance of, of, I don't like. I operate on a binary scale. What they're doing is either like a zero or one. It's either good or bad. Okay. What Harper's doing is probably reckless. So this is a bad thing. I'm going to follow. Agree. Horny is show. going horny we had nudity last night Dylan we had someone referred to their like nudity bubblegum

down low we had a lot okay all right I know you're really into horny things so like this might interest you know me that up probably get you back in we'll see but I don't know what to do about my wife watching this show she's done with season one oh uh and trying to catch up but I'm just leaving her in the dust I can't I can't dilly dolly no I got too much shit going on. I just finished I Love LA last night. You're gonna show cheat on her. Your boy's deep into traders right now. Shout out Donna Kelsey.

I'll be starting that this week. Do you watch any Golden Globes? I don't know why I did. I put it on for a little bit. I also wanted to watch a little bit, and I kind of enjoyed it. I wanted to watch more of the Golden Globes. I did watch some red carpet while the football was on because football's stupid. And he doesn't consume sports like you do, Dave.

I don't know ball. I don't care about ball. but I knew that I had very limited time before I fell asleep last night and so I decided to just fast track industry. So the globe is a little bit more cash like as far as like for some reason like the elder Scarsguard one like the Patriarch and old guy walks up there and the DJ is playing little John get low or it was either get low or yeah one of the little John songs from our heyday and it was just like what and let's just like what's just like what's this

significance of this song like right now. I don't know. I think there's just just like a fun atmosphere and the DJ's like, we're going to play little John here. Did they have podcasters introducing everybody after they won their award? They had like casual banter after between when they announced the award. They had two guys, two like commentators. I was like just imagining two dudes with microphones like, all right, we need to do a 20 second podcast. That's basically what they did. That's based. They were just up there riffing. They should get y'all next year for this. Is anyone, anyone, anyone, any backers working for the Golden Globes? I think Dave and Dillan should do the other at us, man.

The walk-up speeches next time. Let us know. We didn't win best podcast. I didn't watch enough movies to, like, be invested in half of the award show this year. I only cared about the TV side because I just didn't know the movies. Let me throw a show wreck out there for the people. It's on Nettie. It's called The Beast in Me.

Ah. Claire Daines is the star. I thought that was your... Stop. Suggested tab. The only other actor I can really name is Britney Snow. Oh. You would know that one.

Mrs. Snow. She's very... She's very, yeah, she's very beautiful to me. Pitch perfect. It's, okay, so Claire Daines, I think they live in like upstate New York. She's an author, a very successful author. And a guy moves in next door, who is a famous real estate developer, but also he was recently acquitted for murder.

His wife turns out she committed suicide, but everyone thinks that he did it. And so they strike up this relationship, and he agrees to let her write a book about him. and it's getting real twisty, and it's good. I'm super into it. You need to talk to Barrett Dudley. Is he watching it? He's done with it. Okay.

Yeah, it's really good. Dude, you and I are just on different ways. Yeah, I wanted to be in the industry because you guys were, it wasn't for me. How many episodes do you throw on Emily in Paris right now? Chelsea watches that when I'm not around. Yeah, we've been texting. I'm not doing it. Really?

Yeah. Nice. We text a lot about Emily and Paris. Emily and Paris are the beast in me. Emily and Paris is the most nothing show of all time. And that's why it's great. I remember watching a couple episodes of season one with the list. And I was just like, what's happening?

It's such a soap opera with no consequences to anything and everything is so bubbly and perfect and packaged. It's just like, yeah, I can sit here and watch a bunch of good looking people do rich people stuff for a while. How many episodes is traders per week? one. Well, they release three episodes first, which I don't like. Just because spoilers are flying everywhere. But I think it's just one episode a week after this. Okay. The first three episodes are great.

I'll have those three docked out this week. I can't speak to the second half of the third episode because I turned it off at about 1130 last night. But I'm very pleased with how this season's gone. Some great characters in this season. Okay. Dope. Our boy, Colton, just cooking, dude. That guy?

Our Colton? Yeah. Hell yeah. Speaking of TV, shout us to OCC. Nine of the Seven Kingdoms comes out this Sunday. Oh, yeah. Game of Thrones spin-off, so I'll probably be watching that. I'll watch that.

We don't condone Colton tracking his girlfriend or anything, though. Just I want to get ahead of that. No. No, but he's also gay at the time. Did what he knew. He was freaking out. He was freaking out. He was freaking out.

He jumped over a fence. That's how much he was freaking out. Yeah. He still. gave us one of my favorite bachelor moments ever where he asked Chris Harrison if he was going to be forced to have sex in the fantasy suites. No, it's not really how it's not really legal. You would have to consent. Yeah, Colton, no, they're not going to force you to have sex, dude. That would be really messed up. Um, elsewhere, I just got sent a link from BBC news. Apparently Lord Peter

Mandelson, who's been, his name has been caught up in the Epstein stuff said, Epstein kept me separate from his sexual side because I'm gay. Okay. So it's just like, Okay. Oh, Kevin Spacey. Yeah, all right. He played the Spacey card. Yeah. I've chosen this time to come out as a gay man.

Why not? All right. I got one involved in that. Not into all that. That's a good alibi. Pretty solid. You don't see a lot of pictures of Epstein with little boys. Only one.

That's true. Yeah. That is true. That's a good point. He's on wise words. Yeah. Oh, man. All right.

Well. Talking about this Michael, this Michael Block guy. We'll do Michael Blockie tomorrow. Okay. Even though you made the dope thumbnail, we're going to just push that back. Oh, yeah. No, fuck it. Yeah, my, Blocky.

We can save it. Blockie's doing Malbon as with Malbon. Malbon two weeks ago, they got Freddie. They got Fred couples. Hell yeah. And then it's like two weeks later, you're seeing like a quote. I saw it on Twitter and I was like, this has got to be a, like someone made this. It's a funny concept.

They put Malbon and. Dude from Freddie. Couple. who was like all-time swaggy. Yeah, he's... To universally loved. To Michael Block. The guy would put the big block letter hat on the map for a lot of people.

This video, the... The video's kind of hard. I don't know. I just hate the look he gives at the end. That. Yeah, it looks like a dude who would show up at WTI and suck. You know? Like...

This is brand damage. It's cocky. It's brand damaging. They have like three players and like one of them is him. It's just lame. They got, they got Charlie too. Like the reveal is,

yeah. The video is cool to reveal and then the reveal of who it is. So it's just Jason Dave Freddie couples and Michael Block. That's it for on the PGA side. I think those are their biggest names. Yeah. Yikes. Charlie Hole.

That's a good game. But take Block out of it. All those three people are like cool. And good looking. Not that Michael Block's an ugly fellow, but he's Michael Block. But it's like. He's not even playing in like that many tournaments.

Yeah, I don't really know his. I feel like this is a bit. It doesn't look baddie. That looked right there. I feel like it's a bit that's not hitting. Like, they're like, oh, fuck, they don't get it. What's our next move? He looks, he looks like he's got a, he's pitching you on an alt coin.

He looks like he's about to yell at a, they have Anthony. Minor league, or not even a minor league, like a Little League umpire. It's just the hoodie. I like Malabon stuff. They might want that Anthony Kim money back. He looks like a dude who spends $4,000 on the Yeti website a year. He just bought the field chair.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. All right. Well, shout out to Blocky. I don't hate the guy, but I got real tired of his. We had Block fatigue. I got tired of him being a meme.

It got to the point where Golf Twitter's narrative about him just became unfunny to me. It's like, I just don't care about this random guy. Yeah. It went too hard. He, um, and he started doing pods afterwards. He was just way, he got, he had a little too much dip. He's a definition of too much dip. When he originally had too much dip on it, I felt like people were tossing dip on this trip.

Like, he didn't know what to do with that dip. And, and then once he's figured out what to do with it, he just, it became a little cringe. Are they going to put him in an oversized braided belt, you think? Don't, what is, throw it? Come on. I'm saying, do you think he could pull it off? No. No, no, that's the thing.

Like nothing about his golf styles tells me that he's a good Malbond He's got to get He's closer to, you know, Federman than he is Jason Day He's closer to PXG than he is. Fetterman? Yeah, I like, you're cooking right now. The congressman.

Yeah, I know who he is. Okay. Good poll. Yeah, if he had come out of the gates being like this guy, it might be a completely different store. You're like, oh, yeah. Jason Day coming out and rocking like a cardigan with like a golf course printed on it makes sense to me in a way.

Sure. Him coming out and something like that, it'd be like, no, he's going to look like he's a character in a movie. Yeah, they'll tone him down. They're going to have to tone him down for sure. I feel like they're going to give him like the, I don't know. Clarence rack? Yeah, he's like the clearance rack guy for Malbon.

They're putting him in all the shitty hats and shitty sweatshirts that they have. And then they're going to use all the other swag people for good stuff. Okay. Someone in the chat just said, it's pretty, funny. That face versus Dylan's face in the sleeping will video. Which one is worse? They're not that much different. Oh, yeah. God, it's just cocky guys. That's good. Pretty good comparison, Alex. Oh, man. Oh, great, great times. All right. Thanks, Will. Thanks for popping on. Yep. Sorry about Bob, man. It's okay. It's okay. We will get by, Dylan. Yes, we will.

It's a song reference. I knew it was, but I didn't know, but I, I didn't know, but I knew. Last song you ever performed. Wow. Wow. With dead and coffee. Damn. Okay. Why. Stop. I know what you just put it down. It's disgusting. You need a new phone case, bye. Not until I get a new phone. Okay, bye. You too.
