it's wednesday august 5th 2020 you're listening to circling back podcast my name is david i'll be running this run the ship today on the boards as I slowly fade it out. We got Dylan here. What's up, fam? How we doing? It's a big Wednesday. Big time Wednesday. It's Wednesday. It's podcast week. A lot going on in the world we get to talk about. But more importantly, we got Micah with us here. What's Gucci, my dudes?

Mikey Wines. Hi, everybody. It's great to be back i've never been on the uh the non uh patreon circling back this is a real treat for me wasn't mickey ween something we used to call you that's what connor uh condog used to refer to me as shouts to uh connor davis mickey weens he's just out there doing kickflips and shit i don't hate it signing yeah uh guy i'm excited he called me the other day actually i'm very excited to see him remember you had like that stretch where you would like go out like with him yeah there were some dark days uh condog good good dude hey uh good dude you know i just wanted

to thank you guys for having me it's a real treat i wore a banana colored shirt today uh you know it's a new color for me but i thought you guys would like it a little ode to the the good old days you didn't bother running it through the wash at once this is the first time i've worn it yeah yeah it's got it's got the creases you can see the creases yeah you know hey wait hang on i love that move wow just for old time's sake not as loud really bringing back the greatest hits not as loud as it usually is let me tell you this i completely i don't think I've thought of the Micah banana bit, that line of humor since Grand X.

I've completely forgot about that. What was the story you were carrying? Just a hilarious bushel of bananas. I just used to eat a banana a lot. That was my breakfast of choice. Big potassium guy. Well, you know, now I've followed the lead of the phenom Cole Campbell and I'm mostly an intermittent faster intermittent faster well there's a guy i remember we on we were doing

dudes doing business one day and we had like two potential they were either investors or something there was somebody important business people whatever that means and i just remember like you met when you met them i was right there and you had just the most hilarious amount of bananas in your hands. And it was just inexplicable what you were doing with many bushels of bananas. Bananas are good. A lot of calories, though. A lot of sugar, man. A lot of sugar.

You've got to be careful with that. I remember a listener at the time reminded me that there's more calories in a banana than in a gin and tonic. I'd prefer to have a gin and tonic. There's not alcohol. I looked it up. I think there are about 14 grams of sugar in a banana. That sounds like a lot. That's why I don't eat bananas after 6 p.m.

That's a good policy you have there. I like to limit my sugar intake all before dinner time. It's a silent killer, sugar. So I heard. Yeah. So I heard. Yeah. It's podcast week it sure is man what a treat to be back on podcast week of all weeks it's you're the originator you are the godfather

of podcast week follow circling back pod on instagram leave us a review if you have not already a five-star rating would be fantastic you know every tuesday and friday we do a patreon episode it's behind a paywall it's micah alluded to that he was previously on one was that just a listener voicemail i think i've been on two okay but uh you know i'm just here holding it down for vacation well we might even have micah on mail-in tomorrow that's been talked about i mean they don't call it podcast reason podcast week for no reason i got a verbal commitment from him so we'll see we'll see what happens. It's a hard verbal.

What a treat to have just an abundance of Micah this week. Well, you haven't even mentioned too much dip. Too much dip. Thank you for bringing that up, Micah. Too much dip. It's our sports vertical here at Washed Media. Went live Monday this week. Went live.

We've got three episodes. Look for a fourth next week. We're going to be dropping for sure every Monday. How do you even hit our stride yet on that one? Just wait. Which is crazy because if you listen, I think it sounds like the stride has been hit. But I think the four of us know in our own heads, like, we haven't even hit our stride. Our best has yet to come.

Yeah. Just wait. Just wait. Feels great. Happy to have Micah as a part of that. KJ. A new face around here. A lot of fun. Check out so many screens also.

John Hickey, some call him JR, and Kate Pattenod. They're talking everything that's on a screen. Pop culture, film, TV, streaming. They're doing it. They're even doing some music. They broke down the Taylor Swift album. Are they talking gaming? I don't think they're doing gaming. That's a screen that they're doing it they're even doing some music they broke down the taylor swift album are they talking gaming i don't think they're doing gaming that's a screen esports they're not no they're leaving i told them whatever you do do not touch esports that's my bag

we're keeping that for uh tmd and apparently for circling back a little bit it's fluid but check us out hey more on that later more later. Hey, did you see that we did The Stream Room this previous Tuesday? We talked about Swordfish. Never seen that movie. That was my question. That seems like one that you would enjoy. You guys seem to like it. You're not really missing out.

Oh, no. Oh, okay. It's not a great movie. Do you guys rate the movies on Stream Room? Yeah, we use eggplant emojis. Oh, you do? Yeah, this one got one and a half eggplant emojis out of five. Oh, that's not great.

No. Is that from the whole group or just from you? That's just my rating. I see. A lot of people were horned up for this movie. There's one scene in particular. You know which one I'm talking about when Hugh Jackman shoots down the helicopter? No.

It just gets everybody horny. The whole squad. Great cast. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, John Travolta, previously mentioned. You got frosted tips, John Travolta. Not to spoil it if you haven't seen it, but just wait. The tips get frosted. How many eggplant did you give this film?

I gave it five of five birthday cakes. Wow. Did y'all see Vacation Will got a gram off? Another gram. A Tinky themed gram, too. No one's peeing in his grams. Nobody's doing grams. Like Will is.

So apparently he was urinating in the lake, which I think that's completely fine and reasonable. But most people don't document it. His face. I mean, that must have been one hell of a urination. That was a Tink face. He was holding that thing in for a while. That's like me after every podcast we do that's me in that smelly bathroom what's going on in there yeah

your ventilation system is this is not like your traditional like oh dude somebody just tore it up it's like mold it just it just adds a little character to i forgot about your your small small bladder boy bit it's a good one it's not even a bit. It's just real life. You just got a small-ass bladder. That's what it is. Cool. What else? I also have diverticulitis, if you want to rag on that bit.

I know. There's a talking point. Shout-out to Brock Lesnar. There's a talking point on here about the booming loud that you're sipping, Micah. Oh, yeah. What kind of booming loud is that? Oh, I'm gone off that. We had a great fan. Micah and I were just accidentally stumbling into a conversation earlier about coffee. And I was like, let's just do this on the pod because this is enjoyable. You sipping that booming loud. What is the booming loud?

Yeah. You guys know I'm a cold brew boy. Long time. That looks like homemade cold brew. Today it was not actually, um i bought a new cold brew maker caitlin did not like my previous cold brew maker caitlin my fiance just to introduce all the pieces here um and so i acquired a new one and we like it better but i was uh we went to costco this weekend she wanted to try some some concentrate that available, and so that's what I had today. Okay. But my routine has been changed during quarantine, and I think it's really important that we talk about cold brew during these summer months, because nobody wants hot coffee.

It's 102 today. Nobody needs that. That's not how you want to start your day. I mean, for some reason, I'm like reverse when it comes to- Really? Yeah, coffee temperatures. In the cold months, I like cold brew. I don't know what my problem is.

I don't think it's a problem. And I've been drinking hot coffee all summer long. It's 100 degrees outside. That's weird. I know. Do you like to get a good sweat? Is that your move? I do not like to get a good sweat.

No. More on that. Unless I'm working out. More on that and this weekend and fun. We're going to be sweat boys this weekend. What's that hate? You said you're a Costco guy. As am I if you're watching the video you can see i got the costco car are you a platinum member oh you know wow what's your what's their cold brew situation like do i need to try that because i have that's one thing that's escaped me you know what i i hate to be this guy i really

don't like buying preackaged cold brew. Coffee is easier to make at home, and it's so much cheaper. But this is a fine product that we've enjoyed. I don't have the label. I don't know what it's called. But if you find it at Costco, give it a shot. This isn't the Chameleon, which they do have on occasion. That's a local company.

This comes in sort of like a brown milk jug, square milk jug kind of container. Dude, how hyped do you get when Cole Campbell talks about how sizzled he gets on that boom and loud? Man, nothing gets me hyped like Cole Campbell going gone off that boom and loud. He talks about it like it's... He gets crunk off the bean juice. Everybody knows that. Like it's 60% alcohol or something. He's just drinking like...

It might be. So I unfollowed him from my personal, but I did log into Circling Back yesterday. And he was the first thing I saw, and I noticed he was on a camping trip. Or he's out at the lake. A very nice looking lake. They were camping, yeah.

Yeah, so the phenom's just out there in the wilderness getting it. In fact, I know that I sent this story to Tom. We exchanged some tweets about it where he said he was just too gone to remember. Yeah, he filmed himself. He said something about like, that's drinking, bud. We probably shouldn't spend too much time talking to Cole Campbell. I get that, but sometimes you just have to.

Yeah, he posted a video of himself doing a little dance number, drinking, and it was midday. I mean, the sun was right above his head. And the caption was, I don't even remember taking this. We've all been there. That's drinking, bud. That's drinking, bud. Hey, dude. Who is this guy?

If we could wrap up this coffee conversation for a moment. During quarantine, people have been changing their grocery shopping. My preferred grocery store does not grind the beans the way that I want to grind them for cold brew. It's not – Finally. It's too fine. Oh, it's too fine. They do not have a coarse enough setting.

And so I had ordered some coffee on Amazon. I would highly recommend Cold Brew Lab coffee. I believe it's from Brooklyn. But it's pre-ground, but it's vacuum sealed. It works quite well. And speaking of coffee, this week on Mind of Micah, it's time for a five-part investigation into the rise and fall of Nespresso. Yes, it's hot right now. Yeah, Nespresso, they're struggling.

They're running up against a headwind. The coffee market is changing. I've always said that's the best wind to run against. Yeah, so I would definitely check you. I would invite you to check that out on Mind of Micah, my podcast. I brought up six pieces of content this week. Does Nespresso have any relation to Nestle? Yes, it is a Nestle product, which I did not

even know, and I have a Nespresso machine. Makes sense. Yeah. And it was invented 50 years ago. They had a hard time breaking into the U.S. market. It talks about the headwinds they face there. I know how big into headwinds you are um give me all the headwinds well if you want all the smoke and all the headwinds i do check out mind of micah wherever podcasts are available nestle is not

an american company no switzerland i believe wow to wrap up the coffee dog i'm i'm currently in search of the best coffee bean on the market available. So if you have a recommendation for me, hit me. I do. If you order something from China, they'll send you some beans, and they'll tell you not to plant them. What the – I haven't seen – You should grind them up and make some brew with them. What is going on with that?

I don't know. People are just getting beans from China in the mail or something? And then planting them. I read something that there's a potential scam and they have to have something that they send that makes it have the necessary weight, even though it doesn't include the product you ordered. So they drop beans in there? So they put beans in, but I believe that there's been some sort of directive issued that says, do not plant those fucking beans.

Weird. But they're magical. Micah, this would be a good Mind of Micah. You need to go in. I'm going to investigate this. This could be featured on next week's Mind of Micah. And you know what?

If I find an authoritative piece about it, I'll probably share it on Micah's Read of the Week, the newsletter that I launched this week. You can subscribe wherever you follow me on social media. It's in all of the LinkedIn bios. I must have missed the promo.

I haven't seen any tweets. M-I-C-A-H-W-I-E-N-E-R. Find me on Instagram and add me. Subscribe to Micah's Read of the Week, the newsletter. I'm done with plugs. Yeah, this is the first I've heard of it, too. Okay, the volume wasn't turned up on set drop. You can hit it again, though.

No, that's okay. We'll do this. I'll hit it maybe after this. I'll probably drop it one more time. Hey. That would mean a lot, though. It really would. I'm not even joking.

It's a great piece. Check it out. I refuse to drop MeUndies. Do it for me. It's free. Oh, I love MeUndies. I'm wearing them right now. MeUndies wants to talk about your underwear.

Like, seriously, they have a lot of feelings about it, and they just want to chat with anybody who will listen, so let's do it. They want everyone to feel comfy as heck with the freedom to express themselves. That's why they make the world's softest undies in classic colors and, my favorite, the fun prints like dinos, surfboards. Maybe they'll make a hybrid, a surfing dinosaur one at some point. That would be tight. Whatever you put on every day, they want you to be comfortable and to be you.

Is your undie drawer something to be proud of or is it a little bit embarrassing? I recently did some underwear inventory and 90% of it is me undies. The other 10% I got rid of. How much more fun would it be to get dressed every day? If you knew you got to pick from a drawer full of fun and adorable undie prints like orcas, bees, or Micah cherries. How fun would that be? Cherries are great.

I don't know if you guys, uh, I had a discussion with my fiance last night and she told me that cherries are her preferred seltzer flavor for any brand that's that's her favorite flavor is cherry we should talk acerola with her more on that later cherries are great micah says i love cherries me undies is serious about softness though no like so serious they scoured the world for the softest fabric known to man it all starts with sustainably sourced beechwood trees that magically turn from pulp to yarn to undies. Just three-step process. It is.

Those are some beans I would plant. A lot of guys out there aren't taking their underwear seriously. No. It's the one thing that once you finally upgrade from the cheap Walmart brands to a fine pair of Mianis, like a good quality pair of underwear, you wonder why it took you so long to get there. I'm glad you mentioned that, and I'm

glad you talked about the underwear drawer, because when you do get rid of the... This is a challenge for me to all the listeners out there. You open your underwear drawer and you look in there, there's probably some pairs that are too old. They're not in good shape. Just throw them out, and if you throw out four pairs,

go to buy four pairs of MeUndies. You'll feel better. Opening that drawer, it's a great feeling, being fully stocked. Yeah. Here's an offer. MeUndies, they got a great offer for just our listeners. For any first-time purchasers you get 15

off and free shipping it's a no-brainer especially because they have a 100 satisfaction guarantee to get your 15 off your first order free shipping and guarantee go to me undies.com circling back again me undies.com circ circling back. Check it out. You guys see this very unfortunate incident in Beirut? Yes. Oh, my gosh. I have to say I spent a good portion of my Twitter time yesterday watching different angles of it.

I couldn't stop watching the videos, man. Unbelievable. Yeah, this is incredibly sad and just it just it felt like it's just the raw footage of it is is wild the sonic boom freaks me out i don't i still not 100 sure how that works the shock wave shock wave moving through the city um the number i i saw was 100 plus dead. Obviously it's obviously going to go way up. I mean, you got to think if you look at this, just the size of the blast zone, it covers a lot of territory, a lot of buildings that just got absolutely flattened.

Unfortunately, that number is going to go way up. It has, I mean, it has to, I like the people who were like, Oh no, this, there's no way this was, um, an ammonium nitrate explosion. This was definitely a nuclear weapon. Just throwing that speculation out there on Twitter just recklessly. And I guess they think it was one of those nuclear weapons that doesn't crumple the neighboring buildings. Because if you notice, that building next to it is still standing, which is shocking. Things are strange.

Blast zone is not something you ever want to hear about the place where you live, or really any place. I'd rather never hear about a blast zone again. This was 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate. Sounds like a lot. To compare to another major explosion, the Oklahoma City bombing was 2.5 tons. I'm not a math major, but that's a lot bigger. Yeah, did you see the view from the boat

yes that was perhaps the most terrifying oh no I didn't see that one when a building is burning like that everybody is going to pull their phones out so you had like hundreds of angles of this thing and then just the dome of condensed air and water

I guess I don't know what it is just going out and I guess all these people survived know what it is. It's just going out. And I guess all these people survived if their videos are out there now. But that's like the most terrifying thing I've seen on Twitter in a while. Yeah, there was a... I saw one late last night.

I forgot where I found it. Somewhere on Twitter, I'm sure. But there was a woman was... There was a wedding about to happen. Did you guys see this one? I did not. They're filming, like, setting up some video shoot before the wedding, and it's all dramatic.

It looks kind of like a movie. Anyway, it's cool. But as they're filming it, the bomb explodes. Jeez. And it, like, the shockwave just moves through the frame of the video shoot, and it's just, it's eerie. It looks like, I mean. It looks like a movie. It's wild.

Really sad, man. A sharp change of pressure in a narrow region traveling through a medium, especially air, caused by an explosion or a body moving faster than sound. Yeah. Just wanted to define that. So what does ammonium nitrate typically, like what is it? What does it do? Do we know?

Is that fertilizer? I believe that's fertilizer because I know that was what was used in the Oklahoma City bombing. I don't know if you heard the note, Dylan, but this was over 2,000, over 2,500 tons compared to the Oklahoma City bombing, which was over two tons. Yeah, so 1 a thousand times the explosiveness basically that's terrifying sheesh man anything else on this no i you don't need to talk about it too much obviously it's very sad i almost didn't put it in here but i legit was just obsessed with this yesterday like trying to figure out what it was because they were saying so bizarre fireworks at first and then the ammonium nitrate, which has apparently been, they've been storing it there for like

six years. I don't know. People were kicking around conspiracy theories. Yeah. Let's stay out of the comments. Yeah. Stay out of the comments. Just in general, this is a good lesson.

Yeah. Did you guys see the video of the guy driving the car? And I think Rex Chapman posted it. Who the fuck is Rex Chapman? He's a former NBA journeyman. He played at Kentucky. He's the viral video guy is Rex Chapman? He's a former NBA journeyman. He played at Kentucky. He's the viral video guy. Why is he?

He is the viral video guy. When did he become the viral video guy? He also, after he retired, had a significant drug problem and got caught shoplifting an iPad out of an Apple store for money. And then he's reinvented himself as the viral video blocker charge guy how i think i don't know i think it all just started on twitter and then he's got three or four people working for him now that are collecting these videos god as he's like the daquan the former nba daquan i feel like uh if anyone has benefited from the global pandemic it's rex chapman because i've been seeing him every day on twitter a major account i follow quote tweets him yo he's he hits a tl every day for me pretty

much he's like instant instant cloud if you quote tweet his video you're gonna do numbers he also will retweet you if you comment on it some people like that i've also noticed that i just this week in fact he's gotten big enough that there's now now a blowback to him where somebody was like, imagine crediting Rex Chapman for posting a viral video. He's a white guy. Yeah, he's a white guy. He played at Kentucky. He dunked on MJ once in a game. What?

Wait, why? Oh, I remember that guy. Yeah. Why are people against using his viral vids? Because it's sort of like a fat Jew light kind of thing. I don't think he really steals videos and doesn't credit people, but, you know, this is people are certain. There's nothing special about what he's doing. He's just finding videos on the Internet and sharing them to his very large platform.

And he's a very likable guy, so he has lots of blue checkmark friends. He gets all the clout for it. Yeah. In a way that Jemele Hill probably isn't following Daquan, but she'll follow Rex Chapman and then retweet his stuff, and then they'll talk. I don't know why she came to mind, but – Dude, I'm so glad he came up on this podcast

because every day when I see him on the TL, I'm like – I'm scared to tweet out, like, who is this guy? Because I'm afraid, like, there's, like, a back story that I don't know that's going to make me look like an asshole or I'm just going to look like a moron for not knowing Rex Chapman. So I've been silent about this. About once a month he'll just send out a highlight clip of him playing in the NBA. And it's just to remind people, like, yeah, you know, I could ball.

Like, he put 30 on MJ one time, but MJ was, like, playing for the Wizards. He's just reigning threes. Oh, that doesn't count. Yeah. Do I need to follow him? I mean, is it a good follow? There's a lot of compelling dog content, too.

He's just sort of figured out, like... Oh, he's played the hits. Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, he knows. He's very formulaic. He's looked at the analytics. There's no doubt. He probably has a chart beater.

What's the... He's doing numbers. What's the thing that we have for analytics? He's probably on TweetDeck as well. Yeah, chart beat. That was the one that we had the lines. That was the most fun when that thing would just go crazy. Oh, man.

This guy, if you follow him, though, your TL is just going to be active. He does a lot of retweeting of positive feedback. He does a lot. I love that. So it's like he posts a video and somebody says, man, this is a great video. He'll just retweet that, man, this is a great video retweet. It's not great. There's no way I could follow this guy.

So, wait, did he have a Beirut video that he commandeered? Yes, he posted. I'm sure there were more than one. But there was one that he posted where there's a guy driving, and you can see he's holding the phone out, and you can just sort of see the small fire. And it looks a long way away. And then all of a sudden the thing booms,

and the guy's rearview mirror falls off. Windows bust out.'s bust out. The window busts out. It's crazy. Do you all remember the explosion in West Texas? Not the region, but the city west? Oh, yeah. I believe it's just north of Hillsborough.

That was another fertilizer explosion, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. It was like 500, maybe 1,000 tons of ammonium nitrate. But that, I thought, was the most terrifying thing when that happened. Because, you know, we could feel that. Fun fact, I was living with my parents at the time. I was back home. You could feel the window rattle in Duncanville, which is south side Dallas County.

That's a long way. Sheesh. They said you could feel this in Beirut 200 miles away. Man. Devast away. Man. Devastating. Yeah. Just a quick hot take about West. I always try and fill my gas tank because West is halfway between Waco and Dallas.

And the check stop. I'm talking about the kolaches. Yeah. I don't like the check stop. Check stop is trash. You like Slovachek's better? I do like Slovachek's. If I really want kolaches, like if i'm bringing them back for someone you take a right well if

you're coming from austin you take a right into west you go one mile and i forget what it's called but there's some like actual uh old west check bakery i think it's called the check bakery or something the ones in town are better the The check stop, they use shortening. They don't use, you know, I'm a butter boy. There was no butter. What are you saying? They don't use real butter? Yeah, they use like Crisco or shortening.

That's quite the allegation. Well, it's true. And I do like stopping at Slovich Ex on the way back. Those who travel I-35 know exactly what I'm talking about. Those outside of Texas are probably very confused. If you're familiar with the I-35 corridor, though, you talking about. Those outside of Texas are probably very confused. If you're familiar with the I-35 corridor, though, you know it. A lot of people know the check stop. Yeah.

A lot of people. Check as in Czech Republic. Right. Yes. My favorite thing about the check stop, though, other than their dirty bathrooms and their not very good kolaches, is they have a bunch of signed autographs from very obscure, now seemingly very obscure musicians, including Police Ice. Remember Police Ice? Wait, Police Ice?

Yeah, you don't remember him? They're the ones who came to your school? It's just one guy. He's a rapping cop. He came out pretty shortly after Vanilla Ice. And anywhere there's like a signed wall of, he's always on it. Like he's there at George's Bar when you walk into george's and waco police ice is front and center i've never heard of police ice well shouts to police eyes

i don't know if he's still out there doing his thing but there's no way if he is there's i wonder if his vanilla ice was on the dan patrick show yesterday so there's still is he still flipping houses or whatever i don't know what he's what doing. He's doing quite well. He's doing something. He was for a time. Yeah. He claims he still sells 3 million albums a year worldwide. There's no way that's accurate. That's not true. That sounded very untrue to me.

3 million? That's what he said. Come on, Vanilla. He could be, you know, he's a Dallas guy. Yeah. I don't know if he still lives in Texas. Rip Van Winkle or something. He could maybe get him on.

What is his name? If we did a remote recording with Vanilla Ice, would it be better or worse than the Wesson Dill interview? It doesn't get worse, Dave. So you got to think he's better. His actual name is Robert Matthew Van Winkle. Okay. Rob Van Winkle.

Rob Van Winkle, which is amazing. Young Randy, what do you got? Rob Van Winkle. Rob Van Winkle, which is amazing. Young Randy, what do you got? I saw recently that there's going to be a biopic of Vanilla Ice starring Dave Franco. So that might be something why he's in the news cycle again. Dave Franco can't play Vanilla Ice?

Dave Franco, of course, of Six Underground fame. Yes. Short-lived. Short-lived. Spoiler, he dies very, very soon in the movie. Check that out on the stream room, only on Patreon.

I mean, I'll probably watch it, but I'm not excited about it. Dave Frankel's a little guy. Didn't... Was it the Death Row? There was a Death Row fictionalized movie a while back

like 15 years ago and it had a vanilla ice scene or I'm trying to think if it was a vanilla ice like story it was like a VH1 movie it was really shitty no it was Hammer because you know Hammer flirted with Death Row he was on Death Row for a minute and then they have this scene

where allegedly Suge Knight and his guys hang vanilla ice over a balcony by his feet. I remember learning about this on Vanilla Ice's Behind the Music. That's it, yeah. Which, honestly, just for that alone, I will tune into the biopic. I'm in. I'm in. Are you a biopic or biopic guy?

Biopic, I guess. Yeah. I don't generally like those movies, though. I like the idea of them and then I'm generally disappointed. Mike, I'm glad you're here for this next one.

Can you tell us who Jonathan Swan is? Jonathan Swan, sure. He is a journalist at Axios. His father, he's Australian and I believe his father

is a leading infectious disease doctor. Why is this, expert in Australia. Why is he the meme of the day? Well, Axios now has an HBO show that they air on Monday nights. I guess it's sort of their version of 60 Minutes. How did this guy score a sit-down? Well, it's not his first sit-down, which is interesting.

And actually, the whole thing is available on YouTube, so you can watch. I think it's like 37 minutes. And he said, you know, right before we met, or the last time we spoke was right before your Tulsa rally. So he used that as a thing. I don't know if Trump—it seems strange that Trump would give An interview to this guy Considering his just general policy I'll tell you what I'm glad it happened though Because we got some excellent content out of this

We certainly did And Swan I think it's the accent Is disarming to Trump He's an Australian right mate Yeah I think Trump thinks he'll be friendly Because he's Australian But this was pretty combative. He also is good at doing the flattering thing that the president likes.

And so maybe that's part of it. But the wheels come off of this one. Yeah, it's not great. He's so swan. Swan. Swan. He's very smarmy and condescending. And he has just some Hall of Fame facial expressions to what Trump is saying, which is some pretty stupid things.

And I can't get enough of this guy. He's absolutely hilarious. Yeah, the memes are good. I mean, he's really just doing the faces that most people do when they watch Trump talk, and he's the first journalist to do it like two feet away. Other than Dave Portnoy. Portnoy really put on a clinic when he interviewed Trump. I didn't watch. I'm being very joking.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, there were a lot of softballs. Yeah. To be fair, I didn't know who this guy was or that there was a sit-down until I started seeing. I think Dylan did a quote tweeted. Somebody was doing the meme, and I was like, all right, who is this dude? I got to look into it.

And then I watched a good majority of that video, and wow, it's not an easy watch if you like comfortable conversations. It was one of the memes of the day yesterday. It was. It was. There were several highlights, but Trump is now, he does this thing where he makes sure that his press secretary gives him papers so he can like hand charts because swan asked him about some numbers specifically and trump just started

handing him papers that had graphs and charts on them and that was swan was like wait this is not what we're talking about this is this is uh rates in you know related to total cases, not to total population. Yeah. And there are probably some people listening here like, oh, they're talking politics. We're not. This is objectively funny content, no matter what side you're on. You have to be able to laugh at this. You just have to.

I think even the most ardent Trump supporter would find humor in this. Okay. And even from his point of view, they would think that he went in there and just dominated. He might have. I mean, this always works in his favor. Yeah, that's right. When Twitter goes crazy and mocks him for something,

like, oh, he took an L on this, he didn't, actually. It somehow works out for him. Right. I don't know what that says about us. He'll use the grievance of those faces of, you know, that all fake news journalists make these faces. This is how they really feel or whatever. I will say Swan had a or has a John Oliver quality to him.

Yes. They're both like, you know, witty. Yeah. They're both like, you know, witty. Yeah, Swan sort of asks a lot of like one-word questions where Trump says like, oh, you should see the pamphlets and the books. He goes, pamphlets? Books? In kind of John Oliver-esque. People are saying, why can't Chuck Todd be like this? Chuck Todd catches strays every time something like this happens chuck todd every sunday i'm gonna meet the press guy and um i record it and when i go every time i get on twitter chuck

todd is trending and it's for some shit that like he's not gonna like yeah and i don't mean like his caesar twitterverse does not like chuck todd no i i support him anybody that's still rocking a caesar in 2020, they can fuck with me. I still hate David Gregory. So I think Chuck Todd's a big upgrade over David Gregory. Is he still doing it? No, no. He did it before Chuck, and I have a longtime hatred with David Gregory.

I don't even know why. I was thinking of Stephanopoulos. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's still doing his thing. Old Georgie. Tantric sex life on George Stephanopoulos. Really? Yeah.

Also, maybe some connections to somebody in the news, Maxwell. Ooh. Anything is possible. Just saying. He does have a history with the Clintons, obviously. The only other, I know people, most people listening think I'm a liberal cuck, so they don't care about my Trump takes. The one thing about Trump now that I can't unsee my trump takes the one thing that about trump now that i can't unsee is i think is that the comedian sarah cooper is she the one that does the

tiktoks or the things where she like memes she repeats trump's words i don't know and makes silly faces i think it's sarah cooper and she just um she's very good And it just kind of goes to show that like powerful men just get away with saying words that don't really mean anything. And if they just sort of keep rattling, you know, they own it and nobody does it. Like it's kind of the story of this podcast. Yeah.

Yes. Sarah Cooper. Believe that's her name. Are you on Tik TOK? Yeah, she's good. Yeah. She's good. If that's who, if that's her name, you on tiktok yeah she's good yeah she's good if that's who if that's her name have you ever thought i am not power plant on tiktok um i not really okay you gotta think it'll do numbers people like that it would be electric uh randy can we get that

um that fire new truck that just got launched potentially potentially the Ford Maverick is what it's being called. It's not out yet, but we saw a leak on the internet yesterday. And I've got to say, as a guy who used to drive a Toyota Tacoma, just a certified truck boy, this is fire. Is this real or did someone Photoshop this? No, I think this is real. It looks like just a Tyler Hatchback car. This is a Ford Galaxy edited to look like a pickup truck. But this is apparently what it's going to look like because they're developing a new compact pickup truck to slot under the Ford Ranger.

I didn't even know they still made the Ford Ranger. They're going smaller than the Ranger? They brought the Ranger back. They brought the Ranger back. The Ranger is a compact truck. I've always said know they still made the Ford Ranger. They're going smaller than the Ranger? They brought the Ranger back. They brought the Ranger back. It's a compact truck. I've always said mini trucks need to come back. As a former driver, the Tacoma I would think is a mini truck, at least the old body style. This is objectively one of the ugliest

vehicles I've ever seen in my life. Someone on Twitter said it very well. I forgot who it was. I'd give you credit. How are you going to go from designing the 2021 Ford Bronco? Is it 2020 or 2021 anyway the new ford bronco yes to this thing that's what i was thinking what in the world i mean ford was they they knocked the the bronco out of the park they use all here looking at photos all day long they use 100 of their creativity on i'm putting and then they just mailed this out then like oh we have nothing left. This looks like a Subaru Outback drove through truck month and then came out on the other side looking like this.

I can't say anything to top that. I mean, the bed, the truck bed, what are you going to put back there? Like a pumpkin? Your work boots. You can't fit anything back there. Like the $200 Yeti cooler? Certainly not the coffin. Yeah, the smallest.

What is the smallest Yeti? You can't put the't put the coffin you gotta strap the coffin to the roof of this will your golf clubs even fit back no they'd be stick they'd be sticking out my dad used to drive a miata and he couldn't fit his clothes in the trunk so they would just be like chilling and like oh yeah i've seen that move yeah So it made it real fun when we would drive to the course and I would be back in town to play. Like we can't take the Miata. He would want to go top down. I'm like, Dad, there's nowhere to put our clubs.

Let me drive. He just wanted to go top down to Nail Ridge. You got to respect that. It's a good move. Remember the Miata bit? That was pretty successful for us. Yeah. Have you guys abandoned that one?

No. Yeah, we have. It doesn't come up anymore. I don't know if Will has talked about this. There's one guy at our apartment complex who we see at the dog park, and he is dripped out in a way that I cannot. You guys wouldn't believe it. Yeah, like he puts Barrett on blast every day.

This guy, he's got. Wait, who's this? He's just a swag lord. I don't even know what you would call this guy. Big baby drip god? He is a drip god. And he's just this average looking guy and he walks his dog out at the dog park just like we do. What kind of dog?

I don't really know. I never look at his dog. I'm more interested in just looking at what this dude is wearing. just looking at what this dude is wearing. And Will and Sally and Caitlin and I are very obsessed with him. Because the other day, it's street wear, it's flashy shoes,

it's a whole nine. He's really out there. Is he Euro? No, we weren't sure, but we talked to him. He's got some tats. He seems like an average dude. He also drives a Miata, and it got Will.

Like, our group chat went crazy when I saw this guy pulling out. New body style or like old? Classic. Wow. White. Oh. Unreal. Soft top.

My wife was nice enough to rent me one for my birthday one time. Remember that? That was huge. We should do that again. I think I i took the photo we got a photo shoot off yeah or did did tasha take the photo yeah hard to say i think it was you either way uh i would like to meet this guy yeah i would too i'm gonna start actually sort of i'm gonna start a dialogue with him. In my head, he is like Latvian. He's like rolling with KP's crew. That would be tight.

The tats, the Miata, the swag, the drip. No one's buying this car. So I can't give it. It's bad. So the Mavericks bed will cut 24 to 30 inches off the length of a Ford Ranger bed. Why would you want to do that? I don't know. I feel like the Ranger bed is sufficient. Like, if anything, the Ranger bed is too small.

It's sort of like an El Camino. Were y'all fans of the Avalanche? No. Because I've always hated those. My brother drives a Honda Ridgeline, which is like an Avalanche. Oh, it is trash. The Avalanche, I'm sorry if you drive one, but it's one of the ugliest cars on the road.

Give me the avalanche over the Ridgeline. They don't still make those, do they? No, not the avalanche. And the Escalade did an Escalade version of it. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. The EXT, I believe. Oh, that's bad. That was a bad vehicle.

The big plastic paneling on the back. What are you doing? I'm with you. This is probably better looking than that. Nah, I wouldn't go that far. Per Jalopnik. Is that how you say it? I believe it's Jalopnik.

We all said it differently. Whatever. The Maverick, if it is actually called that, is supposed to be a, quote, lifestyle vehicle, not necessarily for tradesmen, Dylan, commercial businessesah or randy hardcore enthusiasts what is it for it's a lifestyle is what it says here in the notes that truck bed is useless it just makes it unnecessarily long when y'all were kids did you ever ride in the bed of trucks with family friends? Oh, yeah. I think back, there was a kid down the street, and his parents were so reckless. There was a place in Arlington called Incredible Universe.

It's now a Fry's Electronics, but Incredible Universe, place to go. I think Costco, but just for modern gadgets and TVs and shit. We would drive on I-20, fairly busy highway from Duncanville to Arlington, about a 30-minute drive, and they would just put us in the bed of the truck down the highway. Oh, yeah. I don't even think that's legal.

I don't think it was either, and we were like eight years old, and I feel like that was very reckless looking back on it. Would you put Randy in the back of the truck? Absolutely not. If I was going to...'s that it's that generation one time i i went to my some parks was at my dad's

and they're hanging out and i went to go pick him up and as i pull up they're getting back from the swimming pool which is just down the street not far granted but he had to get in the car to go there they pull up in the driveway and parks his riding shotgun just with a seat belt on like like he's four i love that you can't do that it's just that generation man that it's just a different it was different yeah the only time for me i'm you never put your dog in the bed if you're getting on the highway and like if you're driving around the neighborhood going somewhere like if you're at the ranch yeah dog in the bed if you're getting on the highway. And, like, if you're driving around the neighborhood going somewhere, like if you're at the ranch, yeah, dog in the bed of the truck, you're fine.

But dog or human, like on the highway, there's too much that can go wrong. Mine or fender bender could be game over. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. You guys ever have one of your friend's dads who just drank beer while driving you around? So that happened to me. Oh, yeah. My buddy Andy, his dad just used to crush Coors Lights while driving us.

Not like we were going on road trips or anything. Just sort of if we were driving to the store, he was taking me home. Yeah, or on the way to the bowling alley. I just really vividly remember him just crushing Coors Light cans. So shouts to him. Mr. Baird, good guy. I can remember him. but definitely a generational thing right right dude i mean i because it used to be legal open container is a relatively i just

remember driving to college at in missouri and every time like i'd ride with with uh some other people from austin and like we'd pick them up and their parents would be like hey don't drink and drive on the way there and be like okay and like hey don't be drinking and driving like i'm driving for 14 hours today like why would i be crushing beers that's not something like could you imagine me getting in the car leaving here with parks with me and just just cracking a cold one just on the way to the community don't be like uh what the what's going on here buddy no the year is gonna be it's gonna be 2030 you're gonna be picking up parks and his friends from, I don't know, Barton Creek Mall or Barton Square Mall,

and you're going to have a road dog in your Yeti right there, and you're just going to have one, and it's going to be fine. That's what every dad does. Right. Okay, that's a little bit different. Now, if you're all-day drinking, if you're all-day drinking, like I think back to road trips. We were going to Lubbock or something in Dallas to Lubbock to go visit

buddies. Like the people who just drink the entire time and like, we'll just pee in a bottle, pour it out. It's like, dude, you you're blacked out. And we just got into town. That is never, I, my rule, my rule for Lubbock was wait till you get to post on 84. That's when you start cracking them.

For me, because, you know, I'm a small bladder boy. We talked about this. I've never been a drink-on-the-road kind of guy. Definitely don't drink and drive. That's my PSA. I think we can all – that's something we can all get behind here. But catch me and the lads in the bed of this Ford Maverick just pounding cold ones. Can you even put a dog back there?

Maybe. Mid-size. Mid-size. Randy's cold ones. Can you even put a dog back there? Maybe. Mid-sized. Randy's not fitting back there. Randy's not fitting back there. That's not a Randy-compliant truck bed. I cannot wait to back up to a tailgate with this thing. And get your soft-shell Yeti out of the bag. That's a real lifestyle move.

Randy, can we do something with this graphic? Can we Photoshop us in it or something? Yeah, there's got to be something that can be done with this. I'm in awe of it. It's one of those things that I just kind of scroll through. Are there any other photos? Are we 100% sure this isn't just one Photoshop? Because we talked about the Bronco.

I feel like for the last 10 years, at least twice a year, some Photoshop pictures of a Bronco prototype would go viral, would just go crazy. People would lose it on Twitter. Is that the opposite of this? Somebody just Photoshopped a terrible vehicle? I don't know, but how sexy is that new Bronco? It's hot. It is. I think all of this is based on Autoblog, who got apparently some spy photos of this concept,

and that's what they're basing it off of. There's a great chance it doesn't look anything like this, but we're going to get content out of this. What we're seeing now never comes to actual existence. What do you think about the name Ford Maverick? You cannot waste a great name like a Maverick on something that has such a tiny bed. Do they have to spell it differently like Callaway did with their new driver? Is there some kind of a trademark situation there? Is that what happened there?

I imagine. Have you hit that thing yet? I have not. No, but Klein got one, of course. He's playing with Chad today, isn't he? Yeah. Probably shoots 76. I'm sick of those guys.

I am too. I am too. You know what I'm not sick of? Or you know what I am sick of? Let me say this. Anybody who doesn't wear bird dogs. Right. I'm sick of those people.

I like bird dogs. I work out in bird dogs. I slept in bird dogs the other night. Did you? I'm comfortable. The liner, they've got the liner. Intentionally, or did you just fall asleep in them? It was mainly I was too lazy to get up and go change.

Because I can understand both. Okay. But the liner is, like, not so restrictive that, like, you can't breathe down there. Dude, I'm telling you, it's a perfect balance between comfort and support. Gym shorts with a built-in silky soft inner liner that makes underwear obsolete. Oh, they also make the best pants ever, which maybe one of these days I'll get to play golf in them. Micah, did you know that we are the Bird Dogs guys on TV? You know, I've seen you guys on TV.

I'm only on the digital. Oh, sorry. I didn't make them up. So you're the TV guy. Him and Will. I got cucked. I got bumped. I have a line.

Well, congratulations to you. Well, you're the meatloaf guy from TV, and now he's the short guy from TV. That's fair. These are pants, actually, in the commercial. Well, shouts to bird dogs. They're my happy hour pants. They're my golf pants. That's your line. That's my line. He's the happy hour guy. You delivered that one well.

It really does stick in my memory. We need to get you some bird dogs. That's good meatloaf. Very memorable TV line. The ones that are a little bit shorter, I think, would really complement your quads quite well. I'm going to need five-inch inseam, but I could probably do a six. I bet bird dogs could accommodate.

Let me see if I can get you some, but if I can't, Micah, why don't you go to birddogs.com, enter promo code STEAM, and they'll even throw in a free bird dog's face mask. Micah, here. Wow. It's like a condom, but for your mouth. Think about that. You'll get a free bird dog's face mask along with your pair of Bird Dogs. They're actually very quality masks.

They feel like your auntie sewed it for you. Just like your auntie sewed that condom for your mouth. That's birddogs.com, promo code STEAM, and boom, a free Bird Dogs face mask with your pair of Bird Dogs. You won't take them off. I promise you that. Check them out. They even sent us a t-shirt recently.

You seen that tee? It's a very cool tee. Did you get one? The white one? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's a cool t-shirt. It is a cool tee.

They got a good aesthetically pleasing logo. It's a strong tee, man. Yeah. Hey, we got golf starting tomorrow. We got golf. Let's promo too much dip. We dropped one Monday. We went like almost 90 minutes again,

and we didn't exactly break down the PGA Championship. We didn't get into the odds. But we can talk a little bit about it here. Go subscribe. Leave us a review if you haven't listened yet. It's me, Micah, and KJ, and Dylan. Do it. It's a good pod.

You'll have fun. It's a strong podcast. We have a nice little dynamic. We have some people who actually know what they're talking about on here. I'm not saying I'm one of them. I'm saying we have people who know what they're talking about. There's also some fun banter. It's better than I thought it would be.

It's better than it has to be. It's better than it should be. Yeah. You know when you go to a sports bar and they say, how's the food? And they go, it's better than it has to be. That's how I feel about too much dip. You'd listen to it anyway, and it's 10% better than it should be. Which bar food are you on the podcast only?

On too much dip, not this one. Oh, oh. On the Southwestern Egg Roll. Wow. I'll be the potato skins. Oh, that's a good choice underrated i'd like to be a nacho but i don't want to be bar nachos i want to be a traditional mexican nacho yeah well that wasn't the question i need you to be a bar food. You could say chicken wing. I don't think I'm the chicken wing. I love a tater tot. Oh, I like that a lot.

Like a messy one? Maybe in a loaded tater tot, yeah. Some green onion maybe and sour cream? Not sour cream. But now I'm encroaching on your potato skin. Because if it's... Encroach. All right.

Well, let's carve up. No, tots are good. Tots are good. I would probably be closer to the chicken wing because T-Man's buddy once said, I look like the last chicken wing on the grill at a barbecue because no one wants it. Damn. That's ice cold. Yeah.

T-Man, did you... It's his buddy, but he passed along the message. because no one wants it. Damn. That's ice cold. Yeah. T-Man, did you let that? It's his buddy, but he passed along the message. We were playing golf, and I wasn't filling out my shorts like I would have liked to. This is back in a cutting phase. And he said he looks like the last chicken wing at a barbecue. That's just rude. It's cold, man. I found that to be quite offensive.

Apparently this guy's a specimen per T-Manman so that's cool that he's a bully too certainly left an impression with you yeah no i it wasn't like oh man like heavy on the tendons like that last wing that nobody wants yeah yeah yeah probably not much meat on it the kind of the kind of wing that if you're going after it at say pluckers and you look up and make eye contact with a fair a lady of size who's just watching you discuss. It's very, very embarrassing. I mean, her jaw was on the floor looking at me. Why was she so—there's no way you were eating it any worse than anybody else.

It was bad. You were at Pluckers. It was bad. As I was doing it, I was like, shit, I hope no one's watching me, because I was just really struggling. I think the bone got wedged in my mouth. It was just a bad scene. You can hear more about that story on Too Much Dip. I look up very slowly and just scan the room, see if anybody noticed.

Then I saw her, and it ruined my experience. You have a chicken bone popping out of your cheek. Dude, it was bad. Just tendon hanging out of your nose like how did this even happen i'd pay money to to see a reenactment of that man we can never go in public we should we should have some wings run it back i love wings speaking of wings here's some of the faves for 2020 pga championship at harding park in san francisco Why is that speaking of wings? It's not.

It was just kind of a joke transition. Okay, sorry. Not trying to bust your balls here. That's a bit we're still doing. Okay. Kepka, 10-1. JT, 10-1. Bryson, 11-1. That man eats a lot of chicken.

He loves chicken. Who, Bryson? Yeah. Yeah, I bet he does. He eats a lot of everything. Yeah. A lot of protein shakes. Rory, 14-1. Rom, Bryson? Yeah. Yeah, I bet he does. He eats a lot of everything. Yeah. A lot of protein shakes. Rory, 14-1.

Rom, 14-1. DJ, 20-1. Big Cat, 22-1. My guy, I'm riding with Webb Simpson, 28-1 this week. It's a course that, per the people who know what they're talking about, it doesn't look long, but it'll play long. The rough is very thick. And it's Pacific Northwest.

It's got that marine layer blowing in. Kind of cool air in the 60s. So it might play a little bit long. So I got a group of friends. We do a snake draft for every major tournament. And with my second overall pick, I took Bryson. I took him. Who was your first pick?

It was my first pick. It was the second overall pick in the draft. Who went one, Brooks? Brooks went one. I wanted to go Bryson because as much as I dislike the guy, he is so much fun to watch play. I mean, yeah, if he can bomb it down there, even if it's in the rough and he just has wedge into the green, I think he'll be sitting pretty.

This is one of those courses I hear about that I want to play. I think it's under $200. It's a muni, so it's public. We could go. We could do a San Francisco trip, do a couple days there, play some golf. Napa. Have the ladies with us, then go to Napa. Or they can go to Napa early on.

We can just stay in San Francisco, eat oysters, play golf, and then we go meet them in Napa. Have the ladies with us, then go to Napa. Or they can go to Napa early on. We can just stay in San Francisco, eat oysters, play golf, and then we go meet them in Napa. Everybody's happy. That sounds like a trip to me. I love it. When times are more certain, of course. Of course. I'm running with John Damrom.

Not a bad one. Okay. I believe the current world number one. I hate to throw cold water on everybody but it is supposedly it will be cold there it will not just be not hot it will be cold which could be bad for Tiger's back he likes the heat

and this would be bad for him he's said as much hopefully he'll be able to activate his glutes I don't think he will that's what worries me I saw one of these sites that does the sports simulations they'll run 10,000 of these things

They said a good outside pick is Tyrell Hatton 45 to 1 Okay He's not long He's the opposite of long Remember we saw him at the Dell match play event Where the Rocket was at Roger Clemens just looking huge as shit

Remember we went to that deal before the match play Yeah at the Van Zandt? Van Zandt, yeah. He's a tiny fella. He's a little guy. Much smaller than me, which is hard to do. He's fiery out there, too. I like him.

If things are not going his way. If you're not following him on Twitter, you should. Very demonstrative. Very demonstrative, but per the simulation, he might be a lock for a top 20, top 10. Any other outsiders? I just saw one. Tony Fina.

50 to 1. I know he doesn't close, but. Major golf is finally back, and I'm very, very. It snuck up on me. I'm very H. As we discussed, I got four out of five eggplant emojis. That's how excited I am for this. I believe I am five of five cake emojis.

Birthday cakes, that is. What were you, Micah? I believe I was four out of five eggplant emojis. Birthday cakes, that is. What were you, Micah? I believe I was four out of five eggplant emojis as well. I can't wait to talk about it on Monday on Too Much Dip. Too Much Dip. Too Much Dip. Please subscribe. Leave a review. Tell your friends. It's podcast week.

Oh, another thing we get into on TMD. Some eSports. We got an eSports update. I'm going to turn Randy's mic up because he's our eSports correspondent. I would like our listeners to let us know if you enjoy us talking about stuff like this because obviously gaming is not something i've been into historically but i've gotten into a little bit lately and it's fun to talk about for me so i assume gamers like to hear us talk about it but tell us what you think yeah season five i'm it now. So it's been about two hours since I started it,

so it's probably, knowing my internet, about 4% done. Just hoping it's done by the weekend so I can enjoy it. I got a PS4, almost an instant download. It took about 15 seconds. How has Xbox not figured that out? I don't know. Randy, do you have anything on that? I thought it didn't go through.

It was like, does something go wrong? No, it was just really fast. So I didn't actually play the game yet. I just went to the lobby. Looks like there's a freight train on those train tracks. They blew the roof off the stadium. Choo-choo. That's huge.

Apparently they made the FAL, or the FAL, if you play often, made that automatic, or at least an automatic version of it. It's a powerful weapon. It is a powerful weapon. It's the one that you get and immediately you're like, oh, that automatic or at least an automatic version of it. It's a powerful weapon. It is a powerful weapon. It's the one that you get and immediately you're like, oh, this is the only gun I have. I'm going to use it, but I don't like it. I have two tweets I would like to bring up right now. One of them is some guy posted a screenshot.

I guess he was twitching. Whatever. He was recording whatever he was playing. I guess it was one of the first times, like the first games of the update, and there was a screenshot of him dropping into the stadium, and there were, no kidding, like 80 to 100 people just going straight for the stadium. I mean, if you want to check out what's inside the stadium,

you might want to wait a little bit so you can actually enjoy it, but you're going to get popped right away. What's up, Randy? Do you want me to break down the newest stuff in Season 5? I would love it. You're our esports commentator. Before you do that, let me mention the other tweet that I brought up. Have you seen the Soulja Boy clip? No. This came across my timeline. I haven't watched it.

There's a clip going viral of Soulja Boy. He's playing teen quads or something. I don't know. But this vehicle rolls up on his squad, and he shoots it with an RPG and takes out the whole team. And he just gets so excited. It's one of the fun – Dave, you are going to love this clip. You know he follows me on Twitter.

Does he? Oh, yeah, that's right. We knew that. Tell him. Anyway, it's really, really funny. Dude, he's the inspiration for Fajita Boy swag. All right, Randy, go ahead. Okay, so season five, as Dave said, has come out today.

So first thing, the biggest one, like you guys mentioned, the stadium is officially open. So also, along with that, the train station is now open too. There's an inside of that. What? So in addition with the train station, there is a train, an armor train that goes around. It actually looks like the train from GoldenEye, if you guys remember that level. Oh, yeah.

So it goes around and you can use it as cover. It has, from what I was reading, has some heavy weaponry on it so that there might be mounted guns or something. You can weaponize this train. Yeah, you can weaponize this train. And I think you could probably ride it into the storm and it's faster than driving. Maybe not driving, but at least walking. So you know how there's elevators inside this stuff?

They are now zipline-type cranes that are outside the buildings so you can go up them. That's sick uh what else do we got here uh for regular multiplayer there are two new maps for multiplayer one new gunfight map and one new ground war map okay here's a big thing there are now music songs, as songs usually are, for vehicles. I love a good music song. For vehicles that you could play. So if you get into an SUV, you might be just like...

Oh, like a GTA thing. Yeah, so you might be bumping some Russian techno. Can you imagine just all four quad just in tracksuits? Dude. An SUV bumping techno? Just hitting EDM and Verdansk. I love a good music song. You can also inspect your weapon now.

So you can hold it up and look at it as you're... Oh, really? Yeah. I look forward to getting absolutely murked as I'm distracted doing that. Oh, shit. Yeah. Just peeping the weapon.

Anything getting nerfed? From what I'm seeing, I don't see much stuff. I'm sure they didn't put that up there about things getting nerfed? From what I'm seeing, I don't see much stuff. I'm sure they didn't put that up there about things getting nerfed. But there are two new weapons that will be unlockable, a new SMG and a new assault rifle. Let's see. What else? Some new game modes.

Oh, there's a new Warzone-type game mode called Mini Royale. So instead of, like, you drop in with 100 people, I think you probably drop in with 50 and it's like a small circle. So it's like pretty much the like last third of the game. So it's just shorter. That's fantastic because I sometimes, you know, I just don't want to do the whole song and

dance of sitting in the lobby, getting in there, not seeing anybody. And it's like next you know, it's a 45 minute game. I'm torqued for those music songs suddenly. I cannot wait. Randy, I got to tell you, man, we've done a lot on this podcast today. We talked Beirut. We talked about our president being interviewed by Axios.

But what you just did right there was by far the most compelling and hard-hitting journalism we've done. Like you actually – you accurately read the story and then gave it to the people that was useful intel and he did it without making dismissive uh facial expressions like jonathan swan yeah that was good you probably won't go as viral but i appreciate it oh man that guy's funny make sure you tune into the future music songs and future reporting from randy later man and he went third person wow today was the day the music song died Future reporting from Randy later. Man, this is exciting. Wow. Today was the day the music song died. Or it was born.

Oh, boy. Hey, speaking of that, speaking of music songs, let's talk this weekend and fun. Speaking of fun. Presented by Miller High Life, our good friends at Miller High Life. Wait, you guys have the champagne of beers on uh okay oh yeah we got graphics yeah why do you guys not have this on tap yeah well you know i don't yet not yet or at least the fridge we're talking about this yesterday we we need a fridge it might yeah this might be a a scene if we get beer in here here's what i like at the ready Here's what I like about it. Just at the ready.

Here's what I like. Yeah, because next thing you know, Dylan will be picking up parks from like jujitsu class, just the Miller High Life in his Yeti. It's an unpretentious quality beer, refreshing champagne like tiny bubbles in the iconic glass bottle accessible to all. This is my thing. Celebrate the wins of every day with Miller High Life.

Just me, say Alexa, cue up a music song, and I crack a Miller High Life, and I'm rocking. Big or small, there are moments within every day we're celebrating. Celebrate with Miller High Life, the champagne of beers. Now, here's what I like, because we're right in the middle of summer. They've got these special edition cans. Have you seen these? They're very sharp. My fridge is stocked with them at

home they're very sharp simple summer moments don't have to call for a big celebration for example it's not just having a backyard bbq it's celebrating having everyone together for the first time grills firing up you know you're doing the social distance thing you're having the lads over you're still you're tossing them a a special can of Miller High Life. Everybody's having a good time. They're available in stores now, but they're limited editions. I suggest you get one now. Move quick. Yeah, for sure. I'm glad you mentioned large and small things to

celebrate because I really like the small High Life bottles like the little four ounce ones. I saw them the other day at Total Wine. They're delightful. It's a great chaser to a Bloody Mary. I didn't even know they had those. Yeah.

Okay. Well, here's what else I like about it. You're a shot in a beer guy? I am a shot in a beer guy. Miller High Life, they've been faithfully brewed the same way since its start on New Year's Eve in 1903.

Their founders believed that everyone should enjoy the good life, which is why they created the champagne of beers. Okay? It's a quality beer within everyone's reach. Check it out.

Enjoy it responsibly. Celebrate responsibly, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This weekend in fun is here. Micah, what are you doing? Well, I will be celebrating a big thing, a big celebration this weekend. My sister gets married on Friday. What a treat. That's awesome.

Congrats to her. Yeah, it's great. Her husband's family was going to drive down from Ohio. They are not going to. So basically they're going to the courthouse. We're going to have dinner afterwards. It will be truly lit, as I used to say and as the kids say. Ryan, my future brother-in-law,

is a chef. We are having tomahawk steaks along with oysters, caviar, and black truffles. Holy shit. Let's go. Is he cooking? Is he getting married? No, he has two buddies that are chefs that are going to cook for him. Man, I feel for everyone planning

weddings during the pandemic. It's got to be tough, but it sounds like y'all are making it happen. Well, my sister is. I am pushing another year. Your boy's wedding is now – well, it has been delayed, but that's a whole other story for a whole other time. But if you want to see photos of that steak as well as probably some photos of Charlie and I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, you can follow me on my Instagram,

We have hired a caterer. But if you want to do a fire, fire your caterer. Does it have a Traeger? I've paid that caterer far too much money already in advance. A shocking amount of non-refundable deposits.

But, you know, I think there's something that you can cater. Be it the after party. Let's just have tomahawks at the after party. You know, some people have like Chick-fil-A biscuits or, you know, a slice of pizza. We'll just hand everybody tomahawks that have after party you know some people have like chick-fil-a biscuits or uh you know a slice of pizza we'll just hand everybody tomahawks that have been on the trigger make that happen uh dylan what do you got going on i actually have plans for the first time in a long time wow yeah i'm playing golf tremendous catch me at spanish oaks oh Love it. Friday morning. Can't wait. Dave will be there. Intern Klein will be there.

And our buddy who's a listener, remind me his name. I feel bad. Ryan Steven. Right, that's right. He'll be happy to know you don't remember. Ryan, I'm sorry. I do. Is he paying your greens fee? I'm great with faces, bad with names.

He's covering the caddy. Oh. Nice dude. I can't wait, man. Spanish is great. Early enough to where I won't be scorching hot. It's a little bit cooler up there because it's up on a mountain. That's what my buddy who's a member there says.

He claims it's four degrees cooler. I wouldn't call it a mountain. It's definitely not a mountain. Well, up on the hill. It's a gradual hill. Is it a mesa? It's not a table. And then after that, I'm picking up parks.

And then who knows? The world is our oyster. I don't know what we're going to do. Our swimming pool is closed in the neighborhood, so we can't do that. That's bullshit. That stinks. There's a dinosaur park outside of town that he wants to go to. I will probably take him.

Other than that, I've got nothing else the rest of the weekend. You pretty much summed it up for me. I'll co-sign your weekend and fun, minus the sun thing. Right. You don't the sun thing. Right. You don't have a sun. No. I will be playing golf. I'm going to enjoy it.

I cannot wait. I'm going to get there early. Spanish Oaks has the pre-made breakfast tacos wrapped up in foil. Oh, it's Barrett and Phil, right? Yeah. A woman in a mask just put up a sign that said, would the little guy like some snacks? She held up a sign?

Was she talking about me? I believe she was referring to Parks. Okay. Sure. And then she disappeared. I'm very confused. Wow. He loves snacks.

Would the little guy like some snacks? That's a little weird. If she does it again, get a photo. Maybe she meant Phil. Oh, no. We're having fun. We really are having fun. Man, circling back is fun.

Client's coming down. Yeah, we're the fun boys. Oh, yeah, Client's staying with me on Thursday night. Yeah, Friday, if he stays in town, we'll maybe go get some, I don't know, is there a place to eat outside? Maybe on Thursday we'll get a pizza or something. Dave, what do you think? I like pizza.

Micah, you're welcome too. That's nice. Maybe Pine House. Convenient. Well, I'm glad everybody had fun. Micah, it's been a real treat having you here. Thank you. Thank you, Dave.

You know what, Randy? Give us your weekend and fun. You've given us so much today that I feel like you deserve it. He's going to pop the music songs on and just have himself a ball. I am actually going back home to Chicago this weekend. Chi-town. Wait a minute. I'm not going to do it. They call it the Big

Apple. Yes, that's very true. The Big Easy also. Aren't you from Indiana? Shouts to the bean. Okay. It's Chicago land. I'm going back to Northwest Indiana, but yes, I will go in there. I'll be wearing my mask during the flight and seeing the rents and everything. Cool.
